Sedalia Capital: Lon Williams was
arrested yesterday morning by Night
Chief Allen, on information from Lex
ington stating that he was wanted at that
place for the theft Of s55. The fellow has
been here for q week, and there are a
number OF the police who think that they
are not having a fair chance at the
honors. Williams was arrested here a
couple OF times last winter, and was
known to be q suspicious character. 1t
looks to some as II the information that
rightfully belongs to the force was being
withheld, that one or two might reap the
honors.
The river front, at the foot OF Tenth
street. presented a lively and interesting
scene Tuesday evening, Just previous to
the departure Of the two excursion boats.
Besides the excursionists, a large crowd
Of people went down to the landing To see
the boats and TO give their friends an
enthusiastic send.off. The new excur-
sion boat presented a majestic sight as it
steamed up the river, with Its decks
crowded with people, shouting and
waving goodbye to those on shore.
Both excursion parties spent an enjoy
able evening, on the "Big Muddy" and
we hope there may be many more such
delightful occasions during the summer.
The INTELLIaENoER has sent out about
one hundred statements Of subscription
accounts during the past week. Some re-
sponses have brought money or checks;
others say the subscriber has moved
away, and others have caused the paper
to be returned to us. We do not want
anybody TO take this paper who does not
want II, but we do want those who take
II to pay for IL. We have not cut of the
names OF some when the time paid for
had expired, thinking that their failure
to renew was a mere oversight. We feel
hurt when one whom we considered a
friend will quit In order TO avoid paying
a small subscription account. II you
don't want the paper, pay what you owe,
aud stop 1t.
Our police force presents quite a metro
polltan appearance IN their new uniforms.
The unliorming OF our guardians OF the
peace was done by order OF our new and
progressive mayor, who believes in being
up-to-date in all that pertains to the
city's interests. ~Lexington's police force
is an efficient one, as is attested by the
good order maintained on our streets,
both day and night. Nightwatchman
Thos. Fletcher aud Calaboose Keeper
Frank Habercorn, who were recently
appointed under the new administration,
are giving splendid satisfaction. No
hoodlumism is tolerated by them, and as
a consequence they keep the calaboose
comfortably filled with disorderly char
acters. Let the good work proceed.
