WELL MANAGED.
A Supposed Fire In the Broad
way School Building This
Morning.

AT 9:45 this morning an alarm OF
fire WAS given from the Broadway
public school building which brought
out the fire department promptly.
The cause of the alarm was found
to be very harmless-and no danger
could possibly come from the fire
which was impossible to assume the
proportions of confagration.
Last summer, in papering No. II,
a flue hole was papered over and the
wall presented an unbroken appear
ance. The heat, and possibly sparks
or blaze from the stove on the floor
below, set fire to the paper o-ser the fue
hole and blaze lasting possibly thirty
seconds ensued and that was the cause
of the alarm.
Word was sent to the various teach
ers in the building TO dismiss the chill
dren and they all made their exit
from the building in a very orderly
way. The teachers impaired the idea
to the children that they were practic-
ing movements in case the building
was on fire, when in fact teachers
thought the building was on fire, and
very oourageously and with great
presence of mind staid in the building
until the children were all out OF
course the teachers in all the rooms
except where the blaze was, supposed
that it was a sure-enough fire. By
the teachers not losing their heads, a
panic was averted.
School was called again this after
noon at the usual hour.

WASHINGTON, ID. &. Jan. The
contest for the office OF United States
senator from New York has become Il
matter of national interest. Politi-
clans spent yesterday talking about the
trouble in New York over the United
States >enatorship. Although origi-
nally only family quarrel in the En-
pire state. it has assumed national
interest. In Washington it is re-
carried rs simply question of whether
the people or the machine" shall
rule. The Cleveland men insist that
now. it ever, is the time for the Cleve-
land wing Of the party to show
whether or not they are to shape the
policy of the party. There could be
no better time, they say, than the
present for Mr.. Cleveland to indicate
his absolute independence from
the political machine that as

FOUND DEAD.
Jake Shobe's Case Transferred
To a Higher Court.

Jake Shobe is well known to all OF
the old residents of Sedalia. He has
lived in this city the greater portion
of his lifetime, and in former years,
stood excelIently well in the commu-
nifty. OF late years, however, he has
had considerable trouble and his appe-
tite for strong drink seems to have
been his undoing.
At an early hour yesterday morn
ing he was found dead in his bed ut
his boarding place, 2l2 West Fourth
street.
Corner Muehl was called in, but
did not think an inquest necessary
and pronounced his death The result
Of heart failure. The coroner thinks
he died about , O'Clock in the morn
ing.
At the time of his death he was out
on bond on the charge ofgrana larceny
the circumstances ofwhich the readers
OF the BAzoo are familiar with.
He was about 81 wears OF are, had
been married but was divorced from
his wife. He had two children. who
now live in the city.
The remains were cared for by REL
ativ.s, and the funeral viii occur To-
morrow.

The Color Of Indians.

The color of Indians varies much
individually as does that of our own
Caucasian race. and it also varies
much with the different tribes. 1t is
safe to describe them in general terms
as brown. Some tribes are of q de-
cidedly light shade of brown. while
others are SO dark-the California
coast tribes for instance-as to almost
suggest the negro. Numerous indi-
viduals have been noticed by travellers
in some Indian tribes as the Mandau,
Zuni and others who are so light that
the idea OF their descent from Europ-
can peoples gained currency. 1t was
chiefly this fact that lent weight to
the theory propounded less than 100
years ago that colonies of Welsh had
been planted in the wilds OF America
As we now know. however these light
colored Indians are simply OF a nasu-
raj light brown or are albinOs. OF the
latter class perhaps those at Zuni are
the best known--Youth's Companion.

initiate the older government, such as
II 4.

initiate the older government, such as
England and Germany, whose execu-
tions have been private for half CEN
tury. Some thoughtful persons say
that public executions are warning
to the vicious, but this was not, for
there stood the man with cigar in
his mouth selling book and showing
no sign Of fear or repentence-but
rather desire to play the hero to the
last. What kind of a warning is that
which trifes with death as he did ?
An intelligent Englishman said to
me that since he had been in the
South he had noted one striking diff
ference between our criminal proce-
dure and theirs. England" said
he "does not allow her laws to be tri-
fed with. They are executed prompt
ly. The laws delay that Shakespeare
wrote abou5 in Hamlet is thing of
the past. Criminals are brought to
speedy trial" Another difference in
murder cases is that murders in Eng
land are generally done in cold blood
planned and premeditated, and the
murderer is a vicious, brutal man. It
is rare, very rare, that killing is
done in the sudden heat of passion.
Men do not shoot each other there for
being called liar or swindler, or for
an insult or indignity. They quarrel
and call each other hard names, but
they don't often come to blows, and
never to weapons. Hip pockets and
pistols are unheard of. eAnd so when
murderer is brought to trial, he gets
speedy justice. He is convicted and
sentenced and disappears.
When our country grows to that
then, perhaps, these lynchings will
stop-lynchings for all crimes save
one. BILL ARP.
