BURGLARY AT SMiTHTON.
William e. Atchison Caught in
the Act And Lodged
In Jail.

Mr.. J. j. Bunnell, who conducts a
drug store in Smiihton, eight mile,
east of Sedalia, has been mysteriously
missing articles from his drug store
very frequently for some time past.
The theft of the articles puzzled Mr.
Bunnell very much. He kept close
watch, often discovering that the
stealing was going on, but he could
not detect any one taking goods in
the day time and the store room never
showed any signs of having been
broken into AT night.
Friday night, Mr.. Bunnell staid in
his store, after closing up, resolved
to spend the night there and watch.
About 10 o'clock, a man entered
the store with skeleton key, procur-
cd lot of articles and started to carry
them away. Mr.. Bunnell seized the
intruder, secured assistance and put
him under arrest.
The thief proved to be William +.
Atchison. a resident of Smithton. He
was guarded that night and yesterday
morning Prosecuting Attorney Louis
Hoffman was telegraphed for.
Mr.. Hoffman went down TO Smith
ton yesterday morning on the 10: 40
train and arraigned Atchison before a
justice of the peace. Atchison waived
examination, was held to await the
action of the grand jury in the sum
of 100000. Failing to give the re-
CURED bond, he was brought to Soda
liza yesterday afternoon and put in
Jail.

PALACE ON WHEELS
The Wagner Sleeper, "Jupi-
ter" Inspected by a Ba-
zoo Representative.

The floating palaces that ply the
mighty Mississippi or the great north
ern lakes. or the vast expanses of the
seas, are marvels of mechanical skill
and artistic design.
Rivallins these. in a more limited
way, however. are the Wagner vesti-
bule cars recently introduced along
the NJ. h. d I. railway lines.
The latest and NEST magnificent one
of these arrived in Sedalia Yesterday,
and was inspected by number Of
local newspapermen and Others, by
special invitation.
For some reason unknown To the
writer and perhaps to the reader. the
name Of this ear Is ''Jupiter"-in
honor of the ancient god or the proud
planet that holds supreme sway in the
nightly heavens.
y BAZoo representative had the
pleasure of being shown through this
palatial specimen of the carbuilder's
workmanship. by Conductor Fred W.
Ford, of st. Louis. who explained
thoroughly and interestingly the whole
equipments.
The Baker steam heater. in the
toward end. was the first to attract at
tention. This heats the whole sleeper
day and night, and occupies but little
space.
The gentlemen> smoklngapartment
and toilet rooms are especially adapted
to that purpose and are rs pretty as
one might wish to see. In this and
along the aisle> are placed elegant
nickeLplated cuspidor, which it seems
shame to befoul with tobacco juice.
The water bowls and lee tanks are
also all heavily rickel-plated.
The car is abundantly supplied with
cold and hot water for the Use of pas
sengerS, and there l. system of
electric bells similar to that employed
in large hotels. There Is button in
each of the twelve sections which,
being pressed, ring. and by looking
at the register. the porter can tell in
,Alntly where to go.
Gas l. used for lighting and in the
event of it, supply becoming ex-
hausted, candle lamps are in readi-
ness.
The drawing room. buffet and ladies'
toilet room are marvels of beauty and
convenience. Two lockers are pro-
vided. In one. when the train leaves
II. Louis. are placed 100 sets of sheets
and pillow-slips and $50 towels, enough
to last the trip TO Texas and back. In
the other Is slowed small miscellane-
ouS baggage in charge of the porter,
c. b. Moore.
The beds in the berths are steel
spring, and are supplied with hair
mattresses and costly lambs wool
blankets.
The interior OF the car Is of beauti-
full cherry wood. artistically carved by
hand. The upholstery is of different
shades of the finest plush. and the
tapestries are simply exquisite. The
windows are of double-plate glass,
making it impossible for the entrance
of dust, smoke or cold. If window
rattles the least bit, il is at once re-
ported and the car repairer is set to
work.
All in all the Jupiter" is the hand
soonest piece of car architecture ever
seen in Sedalia. 1t is also in good hands,
for Conductor Ford is not only an ex-
perienced railroader, but an intelli-
gent, pleasant and accommodating
gentleman with whom it must be .
pleasure to travel

HEPTASOPHS.
An improved Order On the
Rampage, Backed Up by
the Smith Family.

His name Is Smith, and he has a
mellow, brown-plu>h voice that is
quite persuasive when Its proprietor
humps himself.
This man belongs to numerous
family and is not afflicted with mod
esty..
But few Smiths, are.
The modest Smiths We have known
that were quiet, inofien>ive and mod
est people. are dead.
They died young, but will he dead

The smith you are now reallng
about is in Sedalia giving the people
dose of a new kind of lite insurance.
1t Is a Greek company which pro-
poses to make everybody rich who

put up the initiation fee.
Reader, don't he astOunded when we
break the name of the company To
You.
Don't hunt your slang dictionaries.
Ii amt there.
II is word found under the river
bank at Jefferson City, discarded and
thrown away by Henry Ewing.
"HeptaSoph>" is the name.
Even Smith, when he tells the
name of the company to victim, he
catches lis breath and stands ON
tiptoe.
Then Smith gets eloquent and calls
the object of his attention to how
hear the grave he is, and how lovely
it Is to have $1,000 coming in to the
desolate and disheartened, when he
has winked out and assumed angel
plumage.
The longer you live with a policy
of insurance in the ''Heptasophs' the
nearer you get to the other shore and
the verdure on the banks looks greener
every day as you approach.
Its fine insurance and ii has lack

You have to die to get one of the
pots.
This is an Improved Order" but

Smiths.
y little inclined to he breezy.
The Greeks patronized this insur-
ance company because it was founded
by the seven wise men of Greece.
When they settled at Harvard col
lege they had to do something to keep
the wolf away from the door, hence
the finding Of "HeptasoPhs."
1t today you see a man walking on
Third street wearing a subdued lO,k,
brown overcoat, dogskin gloves, and
a pair of rubber OvershOes, he is not
one of the 'seven wise men of
Greece" but one of the 1927
Smiths that are loose by the mercy Of
the Smith killers.
They are allowed to live in Sedalia.
All roads lead to Sedalia and all
Smiths who ''break in" must come on
one of those roads.
All Smiths who come here do not
bring such new tangled names with
them.
To ''Heptasophs" Smith:
We have encountered all kinds of
Smiths, hut YOU are new one.
If Col. Henry ID. Hill had known
you were coming, he would have met
you with Il bouquet of native grasses
BY the way, the Colonel wants to
insure in something new.
You can catch him.
The girls have caught the Colonel
three times and you can certainly get
him once.
1t is worth trying.
