der the chilly blasts.Dwelling houses are scarce and in de-

mand in East Sedalia.The sunny 6ides of the streets were af-

fected yesterday by the loungers.Some of the streets are again growing

muddy, since the rain and should be look-

ed after.Mr. Orrison is building a fine house

on his recently acquired lots in northeastSedalia,

Twelve freight crews will remove, withtheir families, from Parsons, Kan., to Se-

dalia, shortly.Improvements to residences and their

surroundings are very noticeable in theeastern portion of town.

"The agricultural population of Pettisand adjoining counties had a good repre-sentation in the Queen City yesterday.

Mrs. Emilie Koehler, yesterday, solda house and two lots on Ninth and Mar-

vin streets, to ( hristian Eckdorf for$1,400.

Up to the present time no clue hasbeen discovered to the thieves, who bur-glarized Blickle's tailor shop for theirsp-io-

g 6uits.Sedalia was threatened but happily

was not in the path of the terrible windwhich plaved such havoc with the neighboring towns.

It seems incredible, but it is neverthe-less true that better meats for les6 moneycan be had at Hickman's than at any other

shop in town.The filling of Pacific street near Moni-

teau, without leaving a guttering for thewater, has caused a considerable overtiowon the north side.

An Ohio street house has out a signwhich reads "Fresh butter' and ' Do eggs."Whether this is a new variety of hen fruitor not. don't know.

The police have decided to give juve-nile hoodlums and thieves their special at-

tention lor a few days, and any amount ofweeping and wailing and gnashing ofteeth may be looked for.

Yesterday evening one of A. L. Good-win hlar-- teams, driven bv Rilev Wells.concluded to go to their stalls without beingunhitched. The consequence was the de-

molition of a fine carriage and several ofthe stalls in the stable.

Gentlemen who came in fromth south yesterday, report the cyclone ofThursday night as very severe in and

nd Schell City, one man and his wifewere killed and barnes, outhouses andmany dwellings were demolished.

One Of the most artistic signs in thecity is that seen at Wm. Smith's over hisice-che- st, it a fair illustration of "Ice-land." with the words "Union Ice Com-pany." The 6ign was made by Dugan,and is a fair representation of his work-manship. Mr. Smith says the temperaturewao lower by five degrees after it was putup.

A shed kitchen attached to the dwell-ing of Mr. L mmon's, on East Third street,near Brown's stationery store, caught fireabout 8 o'clock yesterday morning from astove-pip- e. It was put out by the familybefore any particular damage was done.The East Sedalia engine started for thescene, but was not needed, as it happened.The premises belong to Mr. Joseph Pick-ar- d.

A Gross Assault.Frank Hickman yesterday evening

pleaded guilty aud Joe Hewitt wasfound guilty of assault upon MariaHuff, and J udge Halstead fined Hick-man $20 and Hewitt $25 and cost.Hewi "i was unable to raise the moneyand went to jail. The evidence show-

The Bazoo commends his enter-prise, push and success. It is justsuch men as he who usually get tothe front and become railroad mag-nates.

They don't often go to congress, be-

cause they have an independent ideaand are not afraid to express it.

MEL0DL4.

A Sedalia Street Study ol ThirtyMinutes.

The organ grinders have come, willcome and go. They are various intheir nationality, the character oltheir peisonal afflictions and theirinstrumental inflictions. Their al-

leged music is melancholy in its gay-et- y,

and doleful iu its suggestions.The grinders are blind, or deformed,or maimed. They appeal to one'sbenevolence or charity in a way thatis generally irresistible, and they gen-

erally, as a matter of fact, gathera'ms, or whatever the bequests maybe denominated, from parties perhapsnot as well off in this world's goods asthey are themselves.

A study yesterday of the contributors to a forlorn-lookin- g woman, whohappens to be the solitary exponentof roller music, now in Sedalia, re-

vealed some curious facts. Shecrouches at a street corner, outof the way of the crowd, and yet atthe ede of the passing currents ofhumanity, and grinds and grinds.Her monopoly of the organ businessyields to her tin-cu- p a fair harvest ofnickels and dimes.

Tue almsgivers are picturesque intheir variety. A darkey, with rag-ged clothes, stops for a moment anddrops in a nickel ; a passing traveler,with a grip in his hand, contributes adime ; a young girl stops on her wayfrom work and the tin-cu- p echoeswith the rins of money, a richlydressed woman with the unmistakableearmarks of the half world in her attire and her carriage Hips a quarterinto the other woman s lap ; a heartvrailroader half mdestlv, for fear otbeing observed, throws his cigar away.dives into his vest pocket and fishesout a coiu, which goes into the common receptacle, and so it goes forminute after minute, with certainseasons duiing the day when tradein alms-givin- g slackens ike trade inother business of life.

It is singular, though, that in allthe bestowals upon tne organ grind-er, the representation from those wellable, as judged from a half hour's ob--

. ii ;servatiou, is so smau. a passingglance at the figure grindiug away atthe music-bo- x is all that some of thefashionables bes.ow, and others go notthat far in their absent-miudedne- ss ofself and pleasure.

The "melodia," woman aud herinstrument on a crowded street oi abright spring day, make a curiousstudy for one with the leisure.

Items of Local Informationfor the Especial Benefit of

Railway Men.

The St. Paul Line has opened aticket office in New York.. OtherWestern lines will probably do likewise, unless the boycott is soon settled.

It is stated that the Atchison,Toneka and Santa Fe is buvins SI,- -

000,000 worth of steel rails in Eng-land. Prominent iron men are givenas authority for the statement.

"Interstate chestnut bill" is nowthe term used to designate the act toregulate commerce by railroad men,whose constant epistolary reference tothe law have rendered all synonymstrite and to be avoided.

Mr. S. C. Moore, better knownas "Bass" Moore, one of the oldestconductors of the Chicago & Altonroad, if not in the entire West, metwith a fearful death at Eoodhouse,111., Wednesday night While wait-id- g

to take his train at the station hewas knocked down by a switch engineand literally ground to pieces. Con-

ductor Moore had been in the employof the Chicago A Alton road fortwenty-fiv- e years, and was one of themost popular, as bp was" the bestknown railroad man in the west.

A Bold Burglary.Some time last night burglars en-

tered the tailor shop of Thos. A.Blickle on Second street, betweenKentucky and Moniteau streets, andcarried off a handsome suit ot blackcorded, French cassimere, just com-

pleted for Eugene Ferris, one pair ofblue stripe French cassimere pants ofvery large size, a black cassimere coat,low-c- ut vest anil corded bluestripe pair of cassimerepants, all made to oruer.They also took one pair custom-mad- e,

brown stripe pants belonging to E.Lamv. and a second-han- d pair ofpants belunging to young Lauphemer,which had been left tor repairs. Thethieves gained an entrance to thepremises through the stable fronting onthe alley between Second and Thirdstreets and passing through the yard

STORY OF A STEAL.

The Adventures of a Watch in theHands of Bad Boys.

The Bazoo a few days since mademention of the larceny of a couple ofwatc es from tne residence of Guyslerthe watch maker who resides on Pet-tis street, hy the Gray boys. Mr.Guysler at the time recovered one ofthe watches, but as the boys deniedtaking the other one he took no stepstoward their arrest, as he is but lit-

tle acquainted with the laws or lan-

guage of the country. Ever since thepublication tof the matter, however,the police have been on the look outfor the time piece and it has been atlast traced up and identified by theowner. It was first fouud in thepossession of young Greeustreet whoclaimed to have obtained it fromCharlie Wilson. Wilson rot it froma colored boy, the colored boy got itfrom Headend bov, and Headen's bovgot it from the Gray boys. Yester-day a warrant was sworn out for theGray boys, charging them withlarceny from a dwelling, and thechances are these voung rascals willget a lesson that will teach them thathonesty is the best policy after all.The boys will not receive it any toosoon, however, as they are reputed tobe anything but honest in the neigh-borhood and constant complaints aremade pi their petty depredations.
