| The churches and the citizens of the
town have generally complied with the
injunction of the city authorities in the
matter of sidewalks. We suggest that
the school board be asked to do its du.
ty to the public, too. The walks on
both sides of the school house lot are
in bad condition. and ought TO be fixed
up without delay. A. few loads OF
gravel would answer the immediate re-
quirements, but in order that a perma-
nent walk may be made, a stone curb
Ing should be built in connection. The
cost would not be great, and the dis
trict can well afford it. Let the side
walks be repaired, and the curbings be
built, and future cost will be saved.
Last Saturday evening a stranger
called on DR.. S. E. Strong of this town
and offered him a surgeons pocket
case of instruments fo- $3.50. The In
strumeuts are worth at least $12, and
the doctor wanted to know how the
stranger had come in possession of
them. The latter person stated that
he had found them on the roadside
two miles north of Riverside in Jeffer-
son county: that he was without mon
ey, and therefore was willing to part
with them at a nominal price. The
doctor paid the sum asked and now
has the case and instruments in his
possession. If the original owner sees
this and will forward $3.50 and the
cost of this notice, with description
of the property. he may reclaim it.
The following special from Sedalia.
dated February 10th, appeared in the
Republic on Tuesday of this week:
Herb c. Collins of Kansas City, a we'll
known horseman, who shot and seri-
ously wounded Warren Lindsey, :or-
mer clerk in the Missouri Pacific Off
ces in this city, on one of the principal
streets in Chicago last fall, on account
of Lindsey's alleged intimacy with Mrs.
Collins, came to Sedalia last night and |
attempted to abduct his two children |
from their mothers room in the Gold |
Block. The screams of the children |
and Mrs. Collins attracted the atten-
ton of the neighbors in the block and |
Collins designs were thwarted. A |
warrant was sworn out to-day for Col |
Inns, but he succeeded in GLIDING the |
police"
