Convention Notes.

The general opinion was that the
ticket was strong one and would
be elected.
The attendance was large and the
best offeeling existed, although dele.
gates were earnest in the support of
their favorites.
Geo. Simmons was on hand and
the Convention voted him seat in
the Davidson delegation. A better
selection could not have been made.
VIM. Bird was the last candidate
to come out and found many of his
friends pledged to other candidates,
who would otherwise been for him.
II. D. Brown was backed by many
old comrades and made good run.
Ill. ID. is the best natured of all the
candidates and says he will try it
again.
AL Wilmot made good showing
but his locality was against him, as
the delegates thought all three of
the Commissioners should not come
from one end of the county. That
was the only argument that could
be used.
II. w. Osler, although defeated
for the nomination for Commissioner
after close run, took good
natured view of the situation and
promised the ticket his loyal sup
port. Held is q promising candidate
for the future and has many friends.
The chances are that the next
board of County Commissioners
will be one from Elkland, one from
Davidson and one from either Du.
shore or Cherry. Dushore and
Cherry will have to decide which
township shall have the one Com
missioner.

very pleasantly. The fifth degree
was conferred on several.
Fine showers passed over this

In independence square,;
And when you meet them in the street,
They'll rudely pass you by,
For every thing is lovely,
And the goose hangs high.

Shelly Surprised Him

A good story is told by Col. San
Stanton of Ste. Geneyieve, on Gen
Joe Shelby, veteran of many battle.
during the late war. During the
democratic state convention in Jeffer
son City last summer said Col.
Stanton, General Shelby was or
hand, a most thoroughly interested
spectator. While the excitement WI.
high and the weather was exceedingly
warm the General was meeting old
friends and making new ones in
one of the hotels. While holding q
reception he was introduced to q
gentleman named Trigg of Boonville.
The General heard the name and re.
peated it several times before he
spoke.
Are you related to the Mr.. Trigg
who kept big store in Boonville in
1862 he asked. The Boonville man
answered that the Mr.. Trigs in ques-
ton was his father. Then to his sur
prise, General Shelby said: Il robbed
your fathers store in 1863 When
the Boonville man recovered from his
surprise General Shelby explained
that his army had cleaned out the
store when it invaded that town about
the middle of the war"

Accident to Aeronaut Suuires.

Professor Squires, the aeronaut, had
an ugly fall last night from his para
chute at Washington park near Kan
sas City. He had made an ascent in
his balloon and had made the para
chute leap. When about twenty-five
feet from the ground a rope broke and
precipitated the professor to the earth,
severely bruising him and giving him
quite a shock. He was borne into
one Of the buildings and an examina-
ton Of his injuries made. 1t was
found that no bones were broken and
beyond a shaking up, his injuries were
slight.
Prot. Squires and his sister, Miss
Madeline, are well known in Sedalia,
having made several ascensions at
Forest park.

Had Fun with the Aldermen.

KANSAS CITY, No., July ia
meeting of the Common Council
across the state line in Kansas City,
Kan. was broken up last night by six
teen newspaper reporters. 1t was the
first meeting of the council since it
promulgated the order which has re-
suited in the shutting off of the cleo
tric lights in the city. Many
citizens, anxious to enter protest
against the Council policy. felt their
way through the darkened streets,
their footsteps guided by Pickering
lantern lights. A: about O'Clock,
when an exciting debate over
re:renchment measure was in progress
two reporters walked into the little
arena before the Mayors platform.
Each deposited lantern and a wea-
pom on the reporters table, while a
litter ran through the crowded lobby.
Five seconds later news writers iron
two other papers entered and went
through the same maneuv-
ers. Then the litter grew
into laugh, and Mayor
Barnes began to maui bis desk and
to plead for order. The climax was
reached moment later by a dozen
newspaper men, representing the re-
serve forces of the dailies, lining up
against the wall in the narrow passage
way to the inner circle. The men
were equipped with lanterns of every
description, and they carried muskets,
carbines, pistols and swords. By this
time the lobby was in an uproar, and
Mayor Barnes, after vainIy rapping
for order and imploring the chief Of
police to clear the hall, adjourned the
council for one week.

Not the Tidewater Road.

A countryman while riding along
the new electric railway track north
of the Missouri Pacific last Saturday
halted a moment and inquired of SUI
perintendent Carroll what road it was.
This is the Springfield. Sedalia,
Marshall and Northern, or Tidewatel
road" he replied
us that so?" the surprised stranger
calculated. l didn't know they had
got that far along with it.
''Oh, yes" said Mr.. Carroll. 1.-THE
contract is let and, as you see, we've
begun work"
"Well, / am glad of it, said the
stranger, ''as want to get a job for a
team or two"
He then rode on none the wiser,
and probably spread the news through
out his neighborhood.

Won Him Over from SedaIia.

\ country member of the legisla'

university buildings and when it came
to appropriating money to rebuild,
the movers began to get in their
work. A half dozen towns want.

Of work to save it for the Athens

was hottest that Ben Anderson came
down to Jefferson City from Columbia
to fight his town and he worked like a
Trojan for his cause. One evening
he started out determined to win over
st. Louis member who was appar-
emily committed to Sedalia. He
found him standing in front Of the bar
at the Madison house, coolly survey
ing whiskey punch which stood on
the bar before him. When the St.
Louis man disposed Of his punch, An

many reasons why Columbia should

wanted to treat. The St. Louis man
did not understand it that way, for he
blurted out, Not less than $500 Ben

give him the drink. Later that eve
ming the committeeman from Columbia
was heard to remark something about
having a queer experience with a St.

This wonderful musicale instrument, for
the people now on earth, initiates a bird or
animal. With it you can play or sing any
tune. 1t requires no instruction to use il.
Let one play a lively tune on q violin,
BAzOo, piano or organ, and one or two
Others drone an accompaniment with the
BAzOO and you have good bagpipe. You
can initiate "Punch and Judy" to perfec-
ton by speaking in a shrill voice. Do not
blow into the BAzoO; but sing. speak or
make some noise, as the cut-cut cut-ca-da-
cut Of a hen, the crow Of a rooster, the cav
of crow, the moo of crow and hundreds
of other noises. If the BAzoo does not
work properly, place the lips over the four
holes in the tin and draw the breath in and
out few times. Many limitations can be
made better by speaking through the three
round holes in the wood, or covering three
holes in the tin with the lips, leaving the
fourth uncovered. A quartette or chorus
singing through the BAzOO will bring down
the house with great applause and invari-
ably receive repeated encores. Buy four
BAzoo's, organize quartette and try it. Il
furnishes good dancing music to excursions,
picnics, etc,
The music produced is new and taking.
String and brass orchestras find the BAzoo
q very important addition. The BAzoo
sells readily in stores, street and newsstanda.
at fairs, races, pleasure resorts, &c. Pric4
