6 THE SEDALIA WEEKLY BAZOO, MAY 16, 1893 A CURIOUS CASE. Details as told To a Bazoo Re porter by Judge E. M. Zevely, of Linn. Judge E. M. Zevely, of Linn, Osaire countv, was in Sedalia this morning, on his return home from Clinton, where he had been a witness in the trial of 31. Lockwood who, m July. 105)2, shot ami killed a vouuir man named McAllister, iu Henry county, lhe affair was both a pecu liar and tragic one. Lockwood, the deceased.and several companions went bathing in a creek near -Windsor one day. Lockwood had a pistol and playfully pointing it at his friend, pulled the trigger. The weapon was not loaded then, but later on some one oi the boys sunned cartridge into it, and it so happened that Lockwood repeated his prank, saying to McAllister, as he again pulled the trigger, "how would you like to have a dose of this?" This time the joke if such it was proved fatal. The ball struck the boy in the breast and he fell over dead. Lockwood was arrested and indicted for murder in the first -degree. The case was brought up for trial a few months ago, but was continued. Yes terday it was brought to trial again, but on account of a technical flaw the indictment was quashed and the de fendant released. Lockwood had tormerlv reside! in Osage county and Judge Zevely was present in court to testily to the good character he had always Iwrue. SIGHTS AND SCENES As Viewed by Judge Dalby in and About the World's Fair. Judge J. X. Dalby returned bright and breezy this morning from a week's visit in and about the Worlds lair. A Bazoo representative found him an hour later at his desk in the Third National bank. During his absence a great pile of correspondence had ac cumulated and the fluid in the ink stand had dried up until he had to search around to find ink enough to make out a check or two which were handed him. "There are many things being said concerning the fair, some of which are true, while others are unjust and false. "That the booth-keepers,restaurant-eurs, and a multitude of people hold ing special privileges are abusing the management and the public, is un questionably true and they are meeting with a condemnation that is likely to result in their early downfall. "I speak from personal experience when I say that one has to pay one dollar on the grounds for a limited cold lunch which could be obtained in Sedalia for less than twenty-five cents "Another great money-making scheme is in the use of chairs suspend ed between two poles, Japanese lash ion, in which people are transiiorted about the grounds. These chairs number at least 500 and are carried on the shoulders of men, after the ori ental style of doing. In many in stance these carriers are college stu dents who resort to this means to ob tain a view of the creat show. Exor bitant prices are paid for this novel kind oftriding. "Other pleasures, however, are cor respondingly cheap. For instance, one mav eniov a lonsr ride on the lake in an elegantly appointed steamer for only twenty-five cents. Judge Dalby said that not only is the Missouri building, but the whole exposition is yet incomplete, ' and will not be at their best until at least the first of June, though the Eights" to be seen are oveiwhelmningly multitudinous and magnificent "What struck you most forcibly, judge ?" "That is bard to say. The foreign features, which generally surpass those of this country, are absorbingly interesting. Perhaps the most im pressive and "charming exhibition which attracted my attention, was the floral display. Judge Dalby is a lusty singer in the congregation and not a diffident con versationist, but he was at a loss to descril)e the flower department. He advises his Sedalia friends not to visit the fair before Juno 1, if they desire to see the exhibition in full blast Woman's Underwear. A dusky maiden, Pearl Gilbreatb by name, was placed in jail this morn ing. She is charged with havingpur loined a chemise, a mother liubbard, a lace collarette, et cetera, from one Louisa Johnson, also dark skinned. Armed with a search warrant Con stable Gossage unearthed the stolen property in the possession of the Gil breath woman, and it will be offered in evidence in Judge Fisher's court this afternoon." BAZOO GOSSIP. The methods to which manv men in Sedalia will resort in order to get a dram at the bar are various, very pecular and often humilating. A man may have been a good customer at a certain bar for days or compelled to tiavel by stage from weeks, but suddenly finds himself Bonuott's mills, on the" Missouri Pa dead broke. Then on the strength ' citic railroad, to our town : and all of his former natronaire he will eke out a few drinks on credit. Another will approach the bar-teu- tav ifir1 toll stttit'iil t!n f l1i,i decidedly "rockey"' or sick and secure what lie wants. hether true or not. his story will not travel as far as cold cash. Never. Another will promise to pav some time during the day, when he knows not that he will ever see a dime again. 1 his laminar dodge mav work in some places, but it is simply a case ot a thirsty man catching at a straw. i?ome men, in their desperation.will lay a nickel on the counter and de clare that to be their sole financial as sets. A compassionate barkeeper will. now and then, be accommodating and hand out a glass of liquor. lo gather up empty beer, wise and whisky lxttles and give them in ex- for a morning bracer, 15 not uncommon and is recognized as the proper thing in saloon ethics. When some men are totally "busted and imagine they must have a drink, they will sit around a barroom and watch and wait with a longing and patience worthy of a bet ter cau?e, the approach of a friend who, better fixed than they, will in vite them up to havesomethin. Then how friendship is plighted afresh ! How the benefactor's welfare is scru- tiuouslv inquired after! What loyal protestations of "I'll do the same by yu sometime," arc made ! In fact, the false favor, momentarily at least, is, in the eyes of the beneficiary, "the greatest thing iu the world." People unacquainted with saloon I tricks and habits decry the barkeeper as hard-hearted, grasping and even cruel. They say he makes a fortune easily and by means of a dishonorable traffic. But such accusations, in the main, arc not true. A bartender has dozens of the above named cases to deal with daily. His business, trade and incidental expenses are quite heavy, and, as a rule, he pays cash as he goes. In order to meet the many outlays peculiar to his business, he must sell as nearly on a cash basis as possible, and no one can rightfully deny that he must draw the line some where and even on many people. Be sides, the law does not permit him to collect a liquor debt, as may be done in other lines of business. The fact of the matter is simply this: lhe man who cannot walk up to a bar and pay in the coin of the realm for the drink he may desire, ought to quit right then and there, as a matter of credit to himself and ordi nary justice to the saloonkeeper. L. D. Drake, superintendent of the Missouri Reform School for boys, at Boonvule, and his accomplished wife, returned home last evening, after having spent the afternoon sight seeing in the city. Superintendent Drake was appoint ed to bis present position, at the open ing of the school, by the late lament ed Governor jJiorehouse. lie was an Indianan and had already had several years of practical experience m a similar institution in that state. At the time much dissatisfaction wasexpressed at Governor Morehouse's official action in this matter. This was especially so among a set of Cooper county statesmen who aspired to the position. They claimed that some local or other Missouri man should be appointed because this school was purely a Missouri institu tiou. All or any of them thought they could conduct the school with satisfaction and success, though some of them had never before heard of a reform school and none of them knew anything whatever of its operation. The governor decided otherwise, and the wisdom ot that decision has long since become fully recognized. None but an experienced man could ever have taken the work in hand and accomplished the results which have made this school at Boonville the pride of the people of this state. As an all-round educator, worker aud manager, Superintendent Drake is quite remarkable. He is a Christian gentleman, a thorough disciplinarian, understands practically the several trades taught, aud is so much of an athlete that he engages in the various outdoor sports employe.! to interest and benefit the boys. As a matter of fact, he was once a professional base ball player, haying been a member of the Wash ington, D. C, team in its palmy days. This is still the favorite amuse ment of himself and the boys, and with his skill and strength he can fill with his old time zest any position on the grassy diamond. It may be added, also, that he has been most ably assisted in his arduous and difficult work by his excellent wife. Ju,hJe E- 51 Zevely, of Linn, tO.-age county, who was in Sedalia thi morning, says.thiit the people of fn I - r . i i i .. eountv are preparing to build an cK-c i trie line of railroad from Linn to ! Orage City", a distance of eleven iuiies. , "At present, said he, "we are ireiiihtmg has to be done by wagons. This is a great inconvenience and even a detriment to Liuu. "The cost of the electric line, which would be similar to that used in Se dalia, would be about S75.000, and bonds for its construction are bein issued. Xothwithstanding the route lavs over a rocky, broken country, it is estimated that the road would not pay less than 8 per cent and probably more, on the S100.000. The line is being surveyed and the people are so favorable to the enterprise, that it is likely we shall soon have connection by rail with the Missouri Pacific." A BIG MEETING Of the State Druggists Expected at Excelsior Springs June 13. Mr. Ed G.

Clark vs. John Fitigerald, which was tried yesterday in the circuit court the jury returned a ver dict of $48 damages and rent at eight dol lars per month. It was a case ot disagree ment about the rent of a building at Lamonte. The $10,000 damage suit of Charles F. Messerley vs. George W. Ferrell was called in the circuit court this morning and a jury empanelled, 1 ins is a case brought by Mr. Messerly, the dry goods man, against Mr. Ferrell, an M K. & T. con ductor, for damages sustained about one year ago at the hands of the defendant, who assaulted .Mr. .Messerlv on the steps leading to the police court. The assault grew out of an altercation over a bill of $2.50 alleged by the plaint ill' to have been due him lrotn the defendant's wife. Ferrell was indicted bv the grand jury and pleaded guiltv to assault and was lined in the Criminal court. Mr. Messerly now seeks redress by bringing the present suit. An array of able legal talent has been retained on either side and the case is being stubborn ly loughton both sides. A WOMAN INVENTOR. Carious Novelties Evolred From Her Prolific Brain.

She made a dress shield, next a sweat-band for hats. She outdid herself and invented a car riage telephone. Finally she drifted into mechanics and invented a lock, which enables any one by simply look ing at the key to tell whether the door is locked or not, the locking being; registered on the key. Her last inven tion is a musical paper-weight with a calendar attachment that looks for all the world like a stem-winding watch, the face indicating the day, month and year.

The Ohio and Mississippi Railway, run- nniir east irom St. inis. is ine snort ana direct line to the National Capital; and offers a through train service which is not equaled by any other line. It is, properly sieaking, the only direct through car line from the Mississippi River to Washington. The Ohio and Mississippi Railway is the only line running all trains through solid from St. Louis to Cincinnati; the time being less than ten hours; and the only line running double daily lines of Pullman Vestibule Bnflet Sleeping Cars from St- Louis to New York via Washing ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia without change. The O. & M. has an enviahle reputation for speed, comfort and safety, and the regularity of its trains is proverbial with the traveling public ; in practice it almost realizes the ambition of every railroad management to have"trains always on time. The nooulariftof the O. & M. Railway compels it to run three daily trains to Cin cinnati and two to Louisville, to accommo date its steadily increasing travel; fully 95 per cent, of the business from St. Louis to and via Cincinnati eastward being ac credited to the O. & M. Both the dav and nicht express trains of the O. & M. are equipped with elegant VcstubuIeDay Loacnesand ruiiman ves tibule Buffet Sleeping Cars.
