ment.

The case of f. T. Bowers, former
pastor of the first Cumberland Pres
byterian church In Kansas City who
was indefinitely suspended for immo
rality, was called up Monday before
the meeting of the Presbytery OF Lex.
hinton, at Centerview, Mo. A reso-
luton to memorabilia the general as.
sembly OF the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian church. which meets at Little Rock,
Ark, in May, to reinstate Bowers was
laid on the table. This, it is said,
will end the efforts to reinstate the ex-
preacher.
+ T. Bowers was suspended after
trial before a presbytery meeting here
more than two years ago. He was
afterward reinstated at presbytery
meeting held at Harrisonville, but the
case was appealed by those who con-
sidered him guilty and taken to the
synod of Missouri, which is a body of
higher jurisdiction than the presby-
terry. The synod reversed the finding
of the presbytery at Jacksonville and
the suspension remained in force.
Nothing more was done until the pres
bytery meeting at Centerview, Mon
day.

regularity of its trains is proverbial with
the travelling public in practice it almost
realizes the ambition Of every railroad
mansgement-to have trains always on
time.
The popularity of the O. Il NJ. Railway
cOmpels it to run three daily trains to Gin
cinnati and two to Louisville. TO accommo-
date its steadily increasing travel; fully
IS per cent. of the business from St. Louis
to and via Cincinnati eastward being ac-
credited to the q. 4 VI.

Missouri at the Show.

The Chicago Record contains fine
article relative to Missouri and her
display at the big show. 1t is worth
reproducing in its entirety, the fol-
lowing is an extract.
'Some of the most noted herds of
cattle in the world are now owned
within the confines of Missouri. The
state is also rapidly taking rank in the
rearing of fine horses of all kinds
dash. draft, trotting and saddle. The
finest herd of merinO sheep in the
country is now situated in Missouri,
and in ordering the cases for the wool
exhibits Of the state, special
compartments had to be
constructed for two noted
fleeces that will be clipped in a few
days, which, it is claimed by parties
familiar with them, will weigh not less
than forty pounds each. Some of the
most noted swine-breeders in the cOun-
thy are Missourians, and the most
celebrated herd of Berkshire swine
in the world is now owned by N. H.
Gentry, president of the Missouri
Worlds Fair commission, and he is
the recognized leader of Berkshire
breeders. Representative specimens
Ofall live stock will be exhibited

LASHED A THIEF.
John B. Elliott Has a Thrilling
Adventure With a Man in
His Hen-House.

John B. Elliott, one of Sedalia's
best known and most highly respected
citizens, had an adventure at his home
at the extreme south end of Ohio
street last night, which was somewhat
out of the ordinary. Another indi-
vidual, also, will remember the occa-
sion as long as he lives, though it be
until the next republican president
takes his seat.
Mr.. Elliott has large hen-house
near his dwelling, and at night it is
well stocked with fine variety of the
feathered family. A plump pullet or
a pretty rooster is always peculiarly
tempting to some people, especially Of
the colored persuasion, and this is
why this particular hen-house received
visitation last night.
The Elliotts had all retired to bed
and the hands of the clock on the
mantel had worked around toward the
twelve mark when Mr.. Elliott was
aroused by the furious barking of a
faithful and unerring watchdog,
which was on guard duty. Elliott
knew by the racket the dog was max
ing that some one was providing about
the premises and that whoever it was,
had no business there.
He hastily got out of bed, partially
dressed himself and stole down to the
hen-house, upon entering which he
found a man therein gathering in sew
eral of his chickens preparatory to
taking his departure.
Elliott is a strong, fearless man
and he grappled with the thief
and held him fast, until he
could secure rope, with
which, after leading his prisoner out
of the hen-house into the yard, he tied
him to a tree and gave him about fifty
terrible lashes with blacksnake.
The wretch pleaded for mercy and
squirmed under the heavy strokes,
but not until he had been thoroughly
punished, was he released and allowed
to take flight IN the darkness.
Mr.. Elliott is not certain whether
the thief was white man or mu-
latto, but one thing can be relied on
and that is, that the poultry in that
neighbOrhOOd will not be disturbed
for some time to come at least.

The summer months seem to be the
favorite time for the terrap;n to .ay ifs
eggs This operation is performed N q
peculiar way, which admirably demon
strates the sagacity OF the animal. The

In this she deposits her eggs. one layer
at time. and having filed the cavity
she covers 1t over carefully, and,
with her hard breast shell, packs tie
sand down over the nest. She-usuafly
lays cbout twelve eggs, this being \
fair average The heat OF the sun
matches the eggs, and after they have
been in the ground about two months
and a half the little fellows dig them
selves ont of the sand and take to the
water, where they proceed to obtain
nourishnent as best they can. When
the cold weather comes on the terrapin
hunts his winter quarters, which are
generally located at the bottom Of the
QOUO i lie ohCS GA viz
winter at the bottom and the younger
ones live around the edges OF the
bank. As = natural consequence the
terrapin only requires care during the
warm weather. Then they must he fed
regularly with fsh, crabs and other
food of which they are fond Such
farms are stocked At any season Of the
caught they are placed within the in
closure, where they find the quarters
