The Ice Cream Festival.

The Union Cotton Mills COrnet Band
gave another of their delightful ice
cream festivals over on factory hill last
Saturday night. There was very large
crowd present and the ice cream, straw
berries and lemonade was in great de-
mand, keeping the pretty girl walters as
busy as b es in their efforts to serve the
crowd which lined up to the lopg table
which formed hollow square pOs siby
twenty-five yards across. There were
thirty odd gallons Of ice cream served
and many gallons of lemonade. We
don't know how many gallons of straw
berries or boxes of cigars were served
but there were lot of them. The re-
ceipts were over fifty dollars, one-third
of which goes to the church. This is a
good showing and is an easy way to raise
necessary funds for chulch work.

MiRter w. BODO.

We call especial attention this week
to the advertisement Oh page two of our
lew merchant, Mr.. NJ. w. Bobo. Mr.
Bobo is well known in the Cross Keys
and Sedalia section of Union county us
Il hustling and successful young bus ness
man. He began his business experience
with j. X. Nmter, very prosperous
merchant at Sedala, aud continued with
him until Mr.. Minter decided to sell out
his mercantile business in Union cOMnty
and move to LaurenS, where he was also
running large mercantile establiShm ,nt.
Mr.. Minter Bobo purchased the business
at Sedalia and has since been conducting
1t in Il successful manner ana by his in
tegrity aud business way of doing buSi-
ness he added quite Il number of new
customers to the already large list of
patrons. Sedalia being country place,
was too small place for man of Mr..
l'Ob0'S buSinnsS ability and he finally
decided to come to town where he would
mt ct hot competition faco 10 face, thus
giving him full opportunity fJr the
fullest development of his business tact
and ability. Union is glaI to welcome
such men as Minter B)bo to their midst,
and we bespeak for him very liberal
share of the patronage of our citizens and
our friends of the county. Mr. B)b) is
a christian gentleman of sterling charac.
ter, and Sedalia' s loss in certainly Union S
gain.
Don't forget to call in and see what he
has to offer. lie occupi,s the two store
rooms in the culp building formerly oc-
ouped by J. q. Wray ON the one side
and l.. T.. Murphy on the other. He
has connected the two departments both
in front and rear by cutting large and
handsome arches in the partition wall,
which adds very materially To the at
tractiyeness Of the large store yooms.

Death of Little Maude AusfeII.

1t is our painful duty to this week
chronicle the death of little Maude, the
ten year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Charles w. AuStell. She was attacke
ten days previous to her death with
typhoid dysentery. She was patient
and brave little sufferer, and had been
suffering two days before her father dis
covered her condition. The disease had
entered the second stage before the dis
covery was made. DR.. Austell at once
recognized that it was serious case, and
every effort was made by himself and
the other physicians to save his darling,
but all to no avail, the good shepherd
bad called this little lamb to his fold and
she had to 60. 1t is hard to give our
Titles ones up, but we have the consola-
tiOn OF knowing, without any doubt
hatever, that our temporary loss is their
eternal gain, for lie said: suffer little
children to come unto Me, for of such is
the kingdom of Heaven"
Little Maude was q bright, cheerful
and dutiful child, ever ready to render
any assistance to her mother WHO is in
delicate health, she was the dependence
Of the father and mother, who looked
forward to the time when she would be
able to take charge of the household
affairs, and her sudden death is q sad
blow to this household. The family
have the sincere sympaty of this entire
community.
The remains were entered at the old
cemetery in The presence of a large num-
Der of friends and relatives. The funeral
services were conducted at the Presby-
terrain church by Rev. G. A. b. Jen-
nings, assisted by Rev. l.. M. Rice.
The grave Was covered with beautiful
flowers and roses, plucked in all their
freshness, fitting tribute to this young
flower plucke1 from earth and trans
planted in heaven.

Our friend J. ID. Epps, of Goshen Hill,
has handed in sample Of oats and
wheat, of which he says his son, j. d.
Epps, Jr., has two or three acres. They
are fine samples and if there are very

throughout the county, there will be

footing and down stream he went,
bumpty bump over the rocks. He said
he imagined lie was going thirty miles
an hour. When he finally pulled up half
mile down stream to take stock lie found
he was minus whole lot Of trousers on
the sit-down-side and felt like he had
been in q thrashing machine.
Since our last issue two more of our
citizens have been attacked by the small
pox. In these two instances, however,
it is only cases of veriloid, both patients
having been successfully vaccinated two
years ago. Mr. Robert Allen was the
fist to be attacked, he was removed the
next day after breaking out, to the pest
house or sanitary station, a few days
later Mr. G.. G.. Wight, who was
boa ding at Mr.. V. Friends over on
Knitting Mill Hill developed IA case and
was promptly removed 10 the station
which is located mile or more out Of

las could be expected.

"A Correction,

1t will be remembered that we stated
some time ago that Mr.. J. b. Lancaster
had resigned his position as chairman of
the board of registration. 1t seems that
some people are censuring Mr.. Lancaster
for resigni:g G this position. This being
the case we feel called upon to set the
matter straight before the people. Mr..
Lancaster did not actually resign. lie
had served in that capacity for two terms,
and his second term having expired, the
recent Legislature saw fit to appoint Mr..
Smith in his stead, and they did so. 1t
VIII therefore be seen that Mr.. Lancaster
is not responsible for his retiring from
the office of supervisor of registration.

The Transcript insults the
the voters who have been at
tending democratic meetings
by saying that they were de-
bauched. It says democratic
meetings have been debauch-
cries. How do the many citi-
zens, republicans as we'll as
democrats,--an there were
plenty republicans--who at
tended democratic meetings,
think of this miserable, dis
graceful SANDER? 1T is a fact
and creditable to all who at
tended the democratic meet
ings, that no meetings held
for many years have been so
gentlemanly conducted. We
assert, without any fear of
contradiction, that the re-
publican campaign committee
---Messrs. Fuller, Buchanan
and Lindbergh---have given
away more beer and whiskey
IN the present campaign, than
all the democratic committees
for the last three campaigns.
We charge further that the
republican county candidates
have individually given> away
more beer and whisky than
all the democratic candidates
for the last three campaigns.
If ''debauching'' is being
done, the republicans are do
ing it. They have a large
campaign fund, and can do it
easily. But it is the height
of impudence for the Trans
cript, whose editor has al
ways found beer and whisky
potent helps in his campaigns
Ito make such charge as to
say that democratic meetings
have been scenes of debauch-
>eries. We leave it to the re-
1publicans who have attended
those meetings: to say what
they think of the Infamous
charge.

NO SPECIAL TO SEDALIA.

The Missouri Pacific will not run an excur.
sion train on the Lexington branch to the
opening Of the Republican state campaign at
Sedalia Tuesday. This is authoritative. The
general manager has not only refused to run
an excursion train under the Objection Of the
officials but has also refused to quote rates on
a train Of three, four or five coaches to out.
side parties. as the entire passenger service
Of the road will be in use that day.
The fact that the recent excursion from here
to the Democratic gathering. proved heavy
loss to the road. contributed to this failure to
secure a train.
A reduced fare will probably he secured
from Higginsvile to Sedaiia. and II Is the in.
tention Of a number of Republicans from here
to 60 by this route.
A. announced last week. there will he prom.
inent speakers in attendance and thousands Of
Missouri Republicans. The party from this
county should send as good a representation
as possible under the circumstances.
