HOW SEDALIA GOT ITS NAME
Gen. George r. Smith Gave the Town
Its Pleasing Cognomen in Honor
of His Young Daughter.

The city of Sedalia was both found
ed and named by Gen. George r.
Smith, who was distinguished citi-
zen of Missouri during the years Of the
Civil war and the periods Immediately
before and after that struggle. He
was Virginian by birth and Ken
tuckian by upbringing; as young man
he came to Missouri and settled at
Georgetown, which is three miles north
Of the present city of Sedalia. He
was prominent both in politics and
business and was instrumental in the
building of the Missouri Pacific rail-
way from ST. Louis to Kansas City
during the SOS of the last century.
He could not induce his fellow
tOwnsmen to make the necessary eff
fort to have the railway pass through
Georgetown, and, foreseeing that that
would condemn the village to decay,
he bought large tract Of land beside
the railway tracks and laid out town
site there, from which in course of
time has grown the fourishing city Of
Sedalia.
When it came to furnishing name
for the new settlement, General Smith
determined to christen it Sedville, in
honor of his younger daughter Sarah,
whose pet name in the family circle
was "Sed." One Of his friends, Josiah
Dent Of st. Louis suggested that
"ville" was a commonplace termina-
ton, and that Sedalia would be more
beautiful and unusual name. General
Smith approved of the suggestion, and
Sedalia came officially into being when
he and his family, the first inhabitants
of the new town, moved thither in

MORE AMERICANS GO TO SEA
The Number Has Increased Two and
One-HaIf Times Since Start
of War.

That the United States will be well
supplied with native sailors in the
event of war with any other country is
the statement made by DR.. George S.
Webster, secretary to the American
Seamen's Friend society of New York
an exchange says. Doctor Webste,
says that the European war is respon.
sible for many thousand Americans be
coming sailors. He states that his
society within the last half year has
aided more than 100000 American
sailors.
Doctor Webster says that there are
approximately two and a half times as
many American sailors now shipping
for foreign ports as at any time previ
Gus to the war. He attributes this in.
crease partly to the increased wage be.
Ing given seamen and partly to the
improved conditions under which they
are working.
In announcing the six months report
of the society, Doctor Webster says:
"The past three years have marked
an almost unbelievable increase in che
number of Americans who are Shipping
as sailors from our own ports. At ouI
sailors home on the North river water
front the men we have previously
cared for were almost entirely British
Swedish and German. If an American.
born sailor should have mingled in
with this company, he would have been
more or less conspicuous.
"Today we frequently lodge Ameri.
can sailors, and they are practically
all men who have not seen service in
the merchant marine prior to the out.
break of the war. It is very fail
estimate to say that fully two and
half times as many Americans are now
seafaring men as prior to the war
We can no longer say that the Ameri.
can is a 1andlubber.'
1--WE venture to predict at the Amer.

proportion of American-born sailors to
those of other nationalities will i'm.
mensely increase after the war. In
case there is Slight lapse in industrial

The manned bell was carried to the

the outside. This hammer, being
made from perfectly honest Mexican
metal, had no curse on it and as a nat
ural consequence the bell remained per-
fectly sedate and never alarmed Vera
Cruz by striking anything but the
hours.
1t would, no doubt, be there yet, had
the French soldiers not arrived. They
took it down and melted it, intending
to cast it into cannon.
Then the curse made itself manifest
