THE DIRECT ROUTE EAST.

The Ohio and Mississippi Railway, run
ming east from St. Louis, is the short and
direct line to the National Capital, and
offers through train service which is not
equaled by any other line. 1t is, properly
speaking, the only direct through car line
from the Mississippi River to Washington.
The Ohio and Mississippi Railway is
the only line running all trains through
solid from ST. Louis to Cincinnati; the
time being less than ten hours; and the
only line running double daily lines of

from ST. Louis to New York via Washing
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia without
change.
The o. & NJ. has an enviable reputation
for speed, comfort and safety, and the
regularity of its trains is proverbial with
the travelling public in practice it almost
realizes the ambition of every railroad
management-to have trains always on
time
The popularity of the o. & VI. Railway
compels it to run three daily trains to Gin
cinnati and two to Louisville to accommo-
date its steadily increasing travel; fully
50 per cent. of the business from St. Louis
to and via Cincinnati eastward being ac-
credited to the O. 4 NJ.
Both the day and night express trains
of the q. & NJ. are equipped with elegant
Nestubule Day Coaches and Pullman YES

press and Free Reclining Chair Cars on
night express trains.

The Inauguration Of President

Mr.. Frey was in excellent spirits
and conversed in a general way very
freely with the reporter. He had but
little TO say about his new charge, only
remarking that it wasone of the finest
systems of railway in the world. Of
course he made no illusions to his adj

looks forward to plenty Of hard work.
Mr.. Frey spoke very pleasantly OF

Watching the Contest.

Morgan county is again at the front.
This time it is in the Sedalia BAZoO's
Worlds fair contest. The BAzoO pro-
poses to give the most popular lady
school teacher in Sedalia free trip to
the Worlds fair. the matter to be de-
cided by ballots clipped from the
pages of that paper. The latest
score shows one of Morgan countys
charming and accomplished young
ladies, Miss Emma Shelton, to be
leading the field of thirty. with $50
votes to her credit, and ~ votes ahead
of the second leader. OF course it is
too early to predict who the winner in
the contest will he, but as the Morgan
county lady is a prime favorite it is
likely that she will remain at or near
the head of the list. The trip will
enable the recipient to spend two
weeks at the Worlds fair, enjoying
the greatest display of modern times,
and free of any expense, as the BAzoo
pays all expenses. Miss Shelton's
Morgan county friends are watching
the contest with much interest.-Eer-

met Fred Kelsey the other day in
Chicago.
o. F. Kelsey has history.
Part of that history was in Sedalia.
1t was in 1889 that Fred held a
clerkship in the NJ, X. Il 7. freight
claim department at Sedalia. He was
good clerk and was an expert in his
department.
During the summer of 1889 there
came to Sedalia lady bearing the
name of Mrs. &. A. English.
She was blonde, stylish and a
milliner. She was born and educa-
ted lady and so conducted herself while
in Sedalia. She was possibly nine
teen wears old.
The story of her life is briefly told:
! She was at an Illinois school and
was courted by and married one of
the teachers, Prot. English of Effing-
ham, Ills.
He was on, the shady side of fifty.
The couple did not get along
smoothly and Mrs. English left her
husband.
She came west and drifted into Sc
dalia.
Eleven DAYS before she left Sedalia
she met Fred Kelsey at party and il
was love at first sight game.
Icon Oct. %, 1889, the train leaving
Sedalia bore :Mrs. English, the at
tractive blonde and q. F. Kelsey
toward Texas.
The Sedalia papers were full OF the
escapade.
Neither had done anything to war
rant such a movement. They had a
perfect right to go if they so elected,
as Mrs. English was divorced and
Fred had no matrimonial entangle-
ments.
When l met Fred he acted as if he
was glad to see me. He is married
to the blonde and their home is blessed
with two beautiful children, idolized
by father and mother who are good

REGARDING THE TARIFF.
No Immediate Danger of Any Democratic
aReform."

No Immediate Danger Of Any Democratic
"Reform."
Undoubtedly there is some truth In the
assertion of ex-Speaker Reed that the
uncertainty regarding the tariff Is one
of the reasons for the disturbance in
business confidence. The primary and
predominant cause, of course, Is the
financial question, but the tariff has
some effect in this direction. To con-
siderable extent the system which has
built up the greater part of our manu-
featuring and mining industries is
threatened by the victory of the party
which is pledged to strike down that
system. While we do not believe that
the majority of the democracy favors
the doctrine enunciated in its national
platform that protection to domestic
industries is unconstitutional the fact
that such provision was permitted to
appear in that deliverance, and that 1t
was not disclaimed by any representa-
vass or since, commits the party, In a
sense, to radical multiplication pols
icy. and this naturally constitutes q
disturbing factor in the situation.
1t would have been well if the presi-
dent, when he mentioned the tariff at
all in his extra session message, had
counseled moderation in the treatment
of this question when 1t should come
up in the regular session. Such ad-
vice, to be sure, might have but little
restraining effect on his party, but it
would be an assurance to the country
that the head of the government would
exert his influence in the direction of
conservatism, and would help to allay
the popular Gistrust on this score pend
ing the settlement of the silver ques-
tion. The tariff will not be touched
in any event until the financial issue
is got out of the way, but if, in the
meantime, the dread of radical legisla-
ton affecting our industries could be
removed, the settlement of the none
tary question would promptly and COM
pletely restore business confidence and
place industry in all its departments
on solid and safe footing once more.
Our own opinion is that there will be
no radical legislation on the tariff by
lHlS congress-. mere WILL De no savage
assault all along the protection line
Unfortunately, however, this opinion
seems not to be generally entertained.
We believe that the president is op-
posed to any legislation that will seri-
ously lessen the margin of protection
that has all along been allowed our
principal manufacturing industries,
and through which they have grown to
their present proportions, and, as it
seems to us, a large and influential ele-
ment of his party takes the same
ground. The extremists will, perhaps,
propose the removal of most of the du-
ties which have any protection in them
so as to reduce the tariff to the revenue
basis, but we think the democrats from
the manufacturing states and the con-
serva,ive members of the party gen.
orally will unite with the republicans
and defeat such policy. Unhappily,
the dread of drastic legislation cannot
readily be removed, and its existence is
one of the serious features of the situa-
