The French Jury System.

The Assize Court is composed of an
assize jud ,e and two assistant judges
The jury are seated in the courtroom to
the right Of the judge. They have no
special costume, but wear their ordinary
dress. Sometimes they appear in
blouses. The prisoner faces the jury.
They ask no direct questions, but many
nterrogate the prisoner or witness,
through the judge, on any point likely
to afford them information, and may
also demand to see all articles offered in
evidence by the public prosecutor or
to prove the prisoners guilt. They
hear the argument Of the public pros
ecutor, who pleads for the indictment
which he has prepared, and then those
of the defense, and form truly enlight
ened opinion from the depositions Of
the witnesses on both sides.
When the trial is concluded the
Judge IN the presence IF the court,
reads to the jury the questions which
are submitted to them, and reminds
them of the duties which they are to
preform 1t is usually question OF
the honor or dlshonor of a family; OF
life or death for a fellowman. In the
centre of the room is long table with
six seperate partitions or boxes on each
side. At the head of the table is box
for the foreman, containing wooden
urn. From the moment the jury enter
his room they are alone. The foreman
puts the question to them and they dis
cuss them.
The jury is usually divided into two
almost equal camps. There are the in
dulgent ones, who answer the most in
controvertible evidence with the ever

BOONvILLEEDITOR TALKS.
The Spider and Fly Limb Show
Provokes Comments From
BoonviIle Star.

On Christmas eve Sedalia had a
limb show. 1t was not 50 awfully bad
"a it might have been, but the per-
Torrance has provoked much CON-
ment. The Editor of the Boonville
Star witnessed the performance and
makes a few remarks:
The exhibition at the opera house
last Saturday night was far above the
average of shows of its kind. There
has been score of entertainments on
the boards here that were greatly
more immoral than "Spider and the
Fly" and no one need have a fit Of
moral Indignation at what was seen.
Doctor Wood may have much to an
swer for, but not this time.-BdsoO
The Gazette of Sunday expresses the
sentiments of the Star when it says ed
itorially:
Zone of the most disgraceful exhib.
iti0ns ever seen here was on exhibition
at the opera house last evening.
Those ladies who were present did not,
of course, fully understand the nature
of the entertainment that was to be
given. They must have wished that
on the night before the day that CON-
memOrates the birth Of their Saviour
they had been somewhere else
The show may have been a good
one of its kind as the EAzOO says.
The fault Is not with this particular
one. bnt with its kind, and the Gazette
has Justly censured them individually
and collectively. The Spider and
Fly" together with all its ilk, is dis
gustlng-it is worse-it is injurious in
the highest degree to public morals,
especially when women and children
are permitted to witness its produc-
ton. The manager or owner of an
opera house who will suffer his never
ceasing and constituencies pursuit of
the almighty dollar to banlsh from
his heart all notions of decency and
from his thoughts all regard for pub
lie morals is unworthy the patronage
of any community.

INSTALLATION EXERCISES.
Newly Elected A. o. U. W.
Officers Indicted Into Office
With Impressive Cere-
monies.

Friday night, at Harmonic hall on
West Main street. the newly elected
officers of Equity. No. %; Amity,
No. 50, and Sedalia, No. 40, A. o.
L. w., were installed with impressive
ceremonies.
The Ancient Order of United
Workman is a powerful and popular
organization in this city.
The installation and its members
and friends who assembled to partici-
pate in and witness the interesting ex-
ercises, crowded the stage and audi
forum to their utmost capacity.
Ceremonies were conducted by
Grand Master Workman Monte
Carnes, while the banquet and musical
part of the programme was under the
direction of Judge z. F. Bailey.
The whole entertainment, official
and otherwise, was pronounced sue
cess and even more brilliant and en-
joyable than any previous ones held
by this organization in the City Of Sc
dalia.
Sam Goldberg, Of the st. Louis
Clothing company was installed as
Master Workman, of Amity Lodge
No. 50.

American Express Company.

This company will open an Office in
Sedalia February 1, and w. H. Wal
lace, a resident of that part Of the
United States known as the First
Ward, will be the agent.
The Office will be at 1913 Ohio street
and new and improved furniture is
being fitted up for the Office.
The American people have made a
very judicious selection of an agent.
Mr.. Wallace is man thoroughly &C
quainted, popular and of the strictest
integrity. The American Express
company may make mistakes, but
they have made none in the selection
Of an agent at Sedalis.
There were thirteen applicants for
the place. None of them were chosen.
Mr.. Wallace made no application. He
was sent for.

his own identity.
Afterall, to have committed suicide -
to have scjourned in thecelestialregiOns
and then to have returned again to
this country of 'The Beautiful Snow
is a decidedly hazardous undertaking
and subjects the adventurer to a great
deal of free advertising, but it is novel
and entertaining, to say the least.
Perhaps, however, he would not care
to repeat the experiment, at least I'M

he might be waited to that other

ordered the roll called, ayes l26. noes

the roll, after which four of the men,

the majority had voted aye they de-

II has been publicly proclaimed BY the

The notes were not registered and the

The latest news received regarding
che enforcement Of the Geary law 10 that
u has been laid on the shelf for the pres.
emit. Secretary Carlisle was about to
issue circulars to the various agents Of
che Government who have authority 10
carry the law into effect. A Cabinet
meeting was called, at which meeting u
10 said Cleveland and Carlisle disagreed
- TO the plan outlined by the latter ~
TO making the law effective. At any
rate. after the Cabinet meeting had ad-
journed Carlisle experienced . change Of
heart, showing conclusively that Clsve.
lands objection prevailed. II looks now
Ne If nothing will be done regarding the
law until Congress meets, when in all
probability Cleveland will endeavor to
have the law repealed.

WILL ENFORCE THE LAW.

A Washington dispatch Of May 70
says: To-day the Chinese Minister and
official interpreter Of the legation
called at the Department Of State, and
we're Immediately shown into the Sec
retary's private room. where . consul
tation ensued, lasting nearly bali an
hour.
When Secretary Gresham Wal asked
for information upon the subject be
said he felt that he could safely de-
clare that there was no reason to fear
any trouble OF an outbreak either in
the United States or China growing
out Of the Chinese law.
Later in the day Chief Justice Full
Ter, who has shown much interest In
the legal aspect Of the present Chi.
nese situation, had an interview with
Secretary Gresham.
Secretary Carlisle said to-day that he
would certainly enforce the law as to
deporting Chinese as fast as the 9
at his disposal would permit. He in
tended to begin with that class Of Chi
nese who were in this country ille-
gally. Having sent this class out OF
the country he would then turn his
attention to the other and larger class
who failed to comply with the
Geary law as to registration. Only
SIG. 900 remains Of the appropriation
for the present fiscal year to carry out
this law. but $50. 900 will be available
for the purpose on July l next.

II is reported from Washington that .
poll Of the House Of Representatives
shows . majority Of 50 In favor Of the
free coinage Of silver. In such . House
it will be easy to redeem the pledges Of
the Democratic platform TO repeal the
Sherman law and TO substitute for II the
coinage Of both gold and silver, without
discriminating against either metal and
without charge for mintsge. A similar
state OF affairs exists in the Senate.
Senator Stewart said recently that there
would NOT be twenty votes In that body
for the repeal Of the Sherman Act with
out something better is substituted.

The 81. Louis Republic. which ridi-
culed the Populist movement last year
md advocated the election OF Cleveland,
las had q new revelation. II predicts
division 10 the Democratic party on
be silver question and the demise Of
,hs Republican party. In an exhaust
i've interview Of the proceedings oil the
late Louisville Convention ii predicts
great changes in party alignment in the
immediate future. II admits that the
new party has come TO stay and II Is
Of the opinion that its stay will tenn
porarily. at least. be at the expense OF
the Democratic party, but will ulti-
mateIy result in the death Of the Rspubli.
can party.
The Republic Is . strong advocate OF
free coinage. II declares emphssically
that Wall street shall not run the
Government Of the United States. 1t
believes in common with many Sena.
tors and Representatives from the
South and West that . free coin
age bill will be passed at the next
session Of Congress. IL anticipates .
veto Of that bill by President Cleve.
land and predicts that the veto will
disrupt both the old parties and drive
ell the silver men to the new party.
II was contended in the late Presi-
Dental campaign by the true friends OF
silver that. the repeal Of the infamous
demonstration Act Of 1873 was the
main issue. This idea was combatted
by the plsce-hunters Of the Republi-
can and Democratic parties and they
appealed to the p~rejudices, not the rea.
son, of the masses Of the people to
sustain them. Over Q million voters in
the South and West, men who thought
for themselves, dissented, and o party
which had no existence six months be-
fore the day Of election carried six
States, and it's Presidential candidates
received votes in every State OF the
Union, while In four States n or the
other Of the old party candidates for
President did not get q vote.
Now the able and influential st.
Louis Republic virtually admits that the
new party organized less than q year
ago is the party Of the immediate flu
ture, that it's cardinal principle-the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
is Endorsed by q majority Of Congress;
that the veto Of . bill ~embodying that
principle by the President will split
the old parties wide open and bring
the new party to the front with .
majority Of the people in Its ranks

uysrERpous DIsAPPEARASCE.

r. G. Chambers, one Of the princi-
nal owners Of the Diamond mine In this
district. was summoned from Salt Lake
Civ to San Francisco by telegraph
last week, the occasion being the
mysterious disappearance OF his wife,
who was under medical treatment
in the latter city. The circumstances
incident 70 the lady's disappearance,
ss related by Mr.. Chambers TO . Oah
reporter, are as follows;
"DuriDg November Q year ago. said
he, my wife became . sufferer from IN
,omnIa, and, as 10 grew upon her under
the usual remedies, l took her to Salt
Lake City for treatment and Q change OF
climate. Failing to get the relief de-
aired we returned TO San Francisco. BY
this time she was almost . nervous
wreck, and, o. q result. was suffering
from h~aliuoinations al times. 1 placed
her In the care Of DIR. Hirschfelder.
The Doctor In turn placed her In . SAM
tsrium, and by March she had so greatly
improved that We concluded to remove
her to Palermo, where we have . Sum
mer residence.
"She was accompanied BY two lady
friends and . couple OF nurses. A
marked improvement followed her ar
rival In the country. and on May 9th the
party and myself ell returned to our res
ideuce on Sacramento street. She sp-
pesred c~ontented. and In periods when
her arrangement would return tempora-
rily she declared she would live forever,
and bemosning her fate in causing us
much imaginary trouble. On the l4sh
she went riding with her nieoes early !
the day, and when invited 10 take .
walk about moor she oheerfully con.
sented. Her nieoes waited in the par
lor while she went TO her apartments TO
secure her wraps. Her long stay caused
them to 20 to her room. which they
found vacant. The house was thor
oughly searched. but she had gone and
covered up oil traces Of her destination.
Her purse and valuables were all lefs
behind, and from what I can learn she
certainly did not have q cent when she
Left home. Ny wife never threatened
suicide, and her home life she always
declared to be most happy previous to
her mind becoming clouded.
"a search was Immediately instituted
by my friends. and on their search prov.
ing unsuccessful they notified the police
and put Morse detectives to work on the
case. The same evening the news was
selegrsphed TO me. / think Mrs. Cham
