Association Give a Ball In
His Honor at Armory

propriately decorated Friday evening

hundred Of the sons and daughters OF
Erin we're present to enjoy the event.
Extensive preparations had been
made and the walls and ceiling
decorated in lavish and yet elegan!
manner. Red and green bunting was
draped around the large room with
the stars and stripes above all. In
the center of the room was suspended
the banner of the lodge, and ON
each side was the flag of Erin;
the green background with the
harp and shamrock in gold show
ing to an advantage in the well light
ed room. The red, white and green

of the care and precision, with which
these same lanterns are handled in the
darkness of the night.
Prof. 4. ShupIe's full orchestra,
was in attendance and the enhancing
music with the bright lights glancing
ON the happy faces Of the merry
dancers presented an animated and
brilliant scene. Prof. Lou Bernstein
was master of ceremonies, and the
hall as a whole was as brilliant a sue
cess Us any ever given in Sedalia.
Supper was served at Kaisers when
the dining room and cafe were thrown
together in order to give sufficient
space tor the large crowd which re-
paired to the banquet at midnight. A
spread, such az only Messrs. Kaiser
and Fischer can serve was placed be-
fore the guests, who each and all ex-
pressed their satisfaction.
Some of the dancers returned to
the hall room after supper and the
morning was we'll ON before the end of
the programme was reached. Next
year the lodge promises to give an
even more brilliant affair.

Written for the Sunday Morning BAzoO:
KANSAS CITY SLOP OVER.

The following was written the day be-
fore the tee bill passed the lower house;
Come, Mr.. BAzoo, let crank bore you
With rickety savings denovo;
This city of gain, has much surplus brain |;
Here's some Of its recent slOp over;
Though filled without stint, yet our local
print
Abeorbs, at the most, scarcely half ont,
IT'S no risk, to say you could get sans paw,
Sufficient to make your whole stafi ont.
IT'S said that push runs the city and
In fact runs the whole of the country;
That, with its broad paw, it grabs all the
law,
Will allow, whether earnings or bounty
Or, as one might say. in a plain business
Runs Office for all there is in it.
Though it cuts to the quick and makes
them feel sick
The taxpayers bucking "agin" it.
(,ur H. CITY meek has also clique
Who don't claim TO he making heaven;
They have such hold in the lower house
fold
That three is majority in 'leven.
Now the good men here who live in Gods
fear
Forgot to tend primary lection.
And early or late voted, made ticket
straight
Without any seeming objection.
And these good men, too, arc honest and
true,
And never swear false to assessor,
But give in their cash and silverware
trash,
With conscience clear, meet their confes-
sOr;
They do not forget, in hurry and fret.
The Jewels they've locked in their closets,
And do not with bonds. Uncle Sans green
frauds,
By juggling, hide large bank deposits;
They don't try tricks neat. the revenue
cheat,
Out OF more than's paid the fee grabbes;
They give in their all and never let fall,
Their own Just burdens on neighbors;
They all do abhor to violate law;
Whether liked or utterly displeasing,
And clear sidewalk deck fore land held on
"spec."
From SHOWS Of a winters long freezing.
Now these good men here, who live in
Gods fear,
Are urging on good legislating;
If our solons are wise, they'll open their
eyes,
And heed all this sensible prating.
lis matter of note that all these men vote,
And this is not said in sarcasm)
And work for good laws without any flaws,
Work-when they have on the spasm.
Now Governor Stone, when you leave your
throne,
To come up to our Kansas City.
It's hoped you'll give heed to cause these
men plead,
And handle the push without pity
Give every place an honest built face
And let not the wicked be pointed;
We, righteous, will feel we've won in this
deal,
And you will be Jeferson's 'nointed.
-Craak.

John searcv is Given Two Years.


John Searcy, colored. was tired in
the circuit court here this week fol-
the murder of Frank Harris, also a
negro, on an NJ, K. Il T. train, near
this city, October IA, 1892. The cir.
cumstances and facts of the killing
were told in detail throughout the
the columns of this paper at the time
Of the fatal affray, but In the light OF
the testimony given by witnesses on
the stand, we are enabled to come to
a better understanding ofsll particu-
lars connected Herewith. On the 18th
of last October, quite crowd Of negro
.'tie-hustlers" were on their way from
the Indian Territory, where they had
been at work, to Moberly, their home.
The morning train that left Sedalia
for Hannibal at 1910, had as paseen.
gers in the smoker this rough crowd
Of railroad darkeys, number OF
whom were drunk, and all-under the
influence of liquor. Between Sc
dalia and Boonville, a game of craps
started among them, which was dis
covered by the conductor, who put an
end to it. When the conductor left
the car the game was commenced
again. From the testimony, it ap-
pears that one of the negroes tried to
borrow q half a dollar from one of his
travelling companions. The money
was not given, and according to all
the evidence, there was heard no
auarrelling nor angry words, when
Frank Harris drew a long, keen
,bladed knife and plunged it into
Henry Wheatly's body up to the hilt.
Wheatly fell forward over the seat,
the blood flowing in semi-circle
from his wound, which was on the
left side of the chest and near the
heart. Owing to the confusion and
excitement that followed the testimony
of witness is in the main very un-
satisfactory. John Searcy was stand
ing, sitting few seats away at the
time Wheatly was stabbed. He
drew large 48-calibre revol-
yer and handed it to
the wounded man. The latter was
too weak and faint to use it, and.
therefore, did not take it. No one
present could afterwardstestify clearly
and satisfactorily what took place in
these few moments. But within a
few moments, John Searcy had drawn
the deadly irearm on the black fiend
with the knife, and had shot him
through without word of warning.
The ball entered the left side just be
low the ribs, and, passing through
the body. lodged in the skin on the
opposite eide. 49,. ,
