SEDALIA, Mo-, May 25.-A sensation
of large proportions was created here
by the publication of the following
dispatch from Washington:
POSTMASTER General Wilson has de-
MED the privileges of the mail to E.
C. Mason of Sedalia, No., who COM
menced a chain system of letters ask
ing subscriptions for a preacher in
need, and who. it is charged, kept the
money received.
E. C. Mason is one of the most prom.
inent young business men in this city.
Mason frankly admits that he started
a chain system on large scale for the
benefit of a worthy and aged clergy
man, but declined to make public the
name of the proposed beneficiary. He
sent out on May 2 a batch of $500 let
ters. asking each person addressed to
send him dime and to start a chain
by writing TO three personal friends.
and SO on. The scheme, if it had
worked successfully, each one re-
spending, in the course of time. would
bring in the sum of one hundred and

NEVER ANYTHING LIKE IT:

C.ar's Coronation Festivities the Grand
ess Ever Kaown-Cose Millioas.
Moscow. May %. - The czar and
czarina made their triumphal entry
into this city yesterday amid the
thunder of batteries of artillery. the
changing of countless bells and the
cheers of q vast multitude of loyal
Russians and equally enthusiastic
visitors from all parts of the world.
Probably never in the history of ma
tions has there been such . remarla-
BILE assemblage of peoples and possibly
the gorgeous scene may never be re-
peated in its grand entirety.
It would be impossible to overdraw
the splendid picture presented by the
procession and by the illuminations.
No money has been spared to make
the coronation festivities memorable
in Russian history and up to the pres
ent all efforts have been crowned
with success. The Russian govern
ment is said to have spent over $2O,-
OO0. 900 on the fetes up to the present
and the city of Moscow is understood
to have expended nearly as much
money and more expenses have to be
met
The illuminations will last three
evenings in succession and will cost
several million dollars. to the govern
ment alone, without counting what
the city will contribute toward this
portion of the expenses.
Beside the expenses of the Russian
government and the city of Moscow
the expenses which grand dukes and
grand duchesses, foreign princes and
ambassadors, etc, have been put to. is
really enormous, one authority going
SO far as to estimate that there was
about 500, ,OOO, 600 worth of jewelry
alone in the procession of yesterday.

AVA, Mo-, May z5.-The entire Saw
yer family, consisting OF father,
mother and grown son, were discov-
cred in their home, one mile east OF
this place, Saturday, foully murdered.
The butchery was complete, and for
brutality rivals the murder of the
Meeks family by the Taylor brothers.
Blood was found on the harness and
horse blankets in the barn, and there
were traces where the villain had
wiped the blood from his hands on the
logs of the barn.
On the window a card signed iE E.

I'VE are gone to Ozark; will be back
Monday or Tuesday"
The family came here last Novem-
ber from Linn county, Iowa. They
were poor. peaceable, hard-working
people, and had not known enemy.
Their visible wealth consisted of q
good team of horses and wagon. house
hold goods and about $50 in money.
The team, wagon and money are miss
idg. and perhaps robbery was the
cause.
