A Fight Over Vaccination.

Sedalia, Mo-. Jan. 90. E.
O'Bannon began mandamus pro-
ceedings in the Pettis county court
yesterday to compel the Sedalia
board of education to permit his
ten children to attend the public
schools without being required to
be vaccinated externally with vac
cine virus. The board of education
recently issued an order requiring
all pupils to be vaccinated. DR.. H.
L. Barnum, who is city physician,
a member of the board of health, is
a homeopathic practitioner and OPP
posed to vaccination. while DR.. H.
B. Cole, a member of the board of
education, is an alopathic practi-
toner and favored the orders issued
by the school board AS a result
the contest between the two schools
of medicine has thrown the contro-
versy into the courts for settlement.

Murder Case.

What promised to be a long
drawn-out trial on a charge of first
degree murder developed into a
five-minute commonplace legal
move this morning when the case
of John McWilliams, charged with
the murder of William Whitney,
was called in the Hannibal court of
common pleas. The plea of not
guilty which had been entered to
the charge of first degree murder
was withdrawn and plea of guilty
to manslaughter in the third degree
was entered and, upon recommen-
dation of the prosecuting attorney,
Eugene Nelson, Judge Eby assessed
a fine of $500, the minimum pun
ishment provided by law for the
offense. The fine and accrued costs
were paid at once and McWilliams,
who had entered a few minutes
before under a charge of murder,
walked out of the court room a free
man. This ending was complete
surprise to the general public and
even TO the lawyers for the defense,
who had expected a light prison
sentence, at the least, for their
client. -COurier-POst.

Bad Fire.

Friday about 6 a. m. lightning
struck J. H. CTip) McClintics new
stock and feed barn and destroyed
it. The same bolt killed a fine calf
standing by the door.
The barn was built last season
at a cost of $500 and there was
$500 instead Of $500 insurance, as
first reported. The barn contained
more than $1,000 worth of feed.
The fire fiend seems to have
taken a fancy to Mr., McClintic's
property for this is the second barn
and his residence that has gone
down in ashes in less than four
years.
The other barn was destroyed by
sparks from a steam engine that
had drilled a well. And the resi-
dence was destroyed through de-
fective flue.
