matron, Mrs. Lamb. That lady informed
him that work would be commenced this
week for preparing the reception room for
a store, in which would be kept a full
stock of ladies' and children's clothing,
underclothing, notions, etc , and she hoped
in this way the establishment could be
made self sustaining. A show window will
be put in the front of the building, and
other alterations and improvements made.
The services of Miss Bettie Cline have
been secured, and that lady will act as su

Dear Jadam : The list is a long one,
scattered from Kansas City to St. Louis,
and from Iowa to four miles into Arkansas.
The Duffiieds are all long winded and long
lived and the chances are that they are
holding fast to-earth with claws and will
not be blown alfay by any fair means. The
Missouri cyclones are9 reported by those
who have seen them as funnel shaped and
go with a twisting effect, and it is possible
when the Duffireds are found their clothes
will be on wrong side out, and in some in

TELEGRAPHERS' TALK.
What Sedalia Operators Say
Regarding the Contem
plated Strike.
A Bazoo Keporter Interviews a
Couple of Brotherhood
Members.
Meeting an operator employed in the
"Western Uuion Telegraph office in this
city, yesterday morning, a Bazoo reporter
hurled at him the following interrogation :
"What about the strike that the Broth
erhood have been talking of
to-morrow ?"
inaugurating
fiI am not at libertv to sav," responded
the party addressed, "but should a strike
be ordered it would not effect Sedalia."
(Mr i i
"louarea urotnernooa man, are you
not?'7
"Yes."
"How many are there in Sedalia belong-
me 10 the order '
'Not less than ten "
"Why would the business not be inter-
ierea witn in eeuaiia, men '
"biniply because the operators in the
Western Union office in Sedalia have no

grievances, fcnouid a strike occur, which
1 do not now anticipate, it would not ex
tend bevoad the large cities, where the
men are overworked and poorlv nam.
hence have just cause lor complaint.
You know of no dissatisfaction existing
among the craft in Sedalia, you say?"
M can speak for mvself positively in the
negative, and if any of my co-laborers have
grievances 1 never heard ot it."
fehould there be a strike m St. Louis,
would not the Western Union company
call on operators in the small towns to fill
he places vacated?"
" iney prooaoiy would; out calling a
man out does not always insure his doing
as directed.
"Would you not be violating an obliga
tion as a Brotherhood man by so doing?"
"Yes, and for that reason but few would
respond. Jt a strike should be ordered it
would place the Western Union company
in a bad situation."
"Do you think a strike would end in
good that is, that it would insure fewer
h. urs' labor and better pay to those inter
ested? "
"It certainly would.
There is a great
difference between holding a situation in the
Western Union office here and one in t
Louis. Iu the latter city the operator
takes his seat m tne morning and never
leaves it for five hours, no matter how
weary he becomes. Here, though, it is
different. We have reliefs, and when tired
tau uuu BU tue
uccucu real, vjivc iuc a cuuuiry siiuauuu
every time."
Leaving the Western Union man, the
Bazoo next .hunted up an operator who
holds a responsible position in one of the
railroad offices and is a member of the
Brotherhood. When interrogated regard
ing the contemplated strike he said :
I hope to God it will occur ! "
"Why so ? " queried the reporter.
"It will have a salutary effect now
mark my words."
"In what respect ?"
"A strike is certain to be successfully
carried, and it will result in weeding out
huudreds of plug operators and putting in
their stead better men."
"Will it not require the different com
panies to pay better salaries?"
"Yes, indeed. There are many opera
tors employed by the Western Union com
pany who do not get over $40 per month,
and they are not worth even that. It is
this class that would be thrown out and
good men would take their places, to
whom salaries ranging from $60 to $S0
per month would have to be paid. And,
by the way, it would be a good thing for
the newspapers, as they would then have
competent operators to take press report.
You can rest assured I am in favor of a
strike."
"But will there be one?"
"As to that I cannot say. The Brother
hood will probably do what they think for
the best," and so saying he walked off,
leaving the reporter no wiser than when
he began the interview.
In this connection, the following special
dispatch from Kew York City to the St.
Louis Republican of yesterday will prove
of more than usual interest:
"Do you think there will be a strike?"
was asked to-day of Mr. John Mitchell,
one of the publishers of the Telegraphers'
Advocate, and a member of the Telegraph
ers' Brotherhood.
"I do not believe there will be," he said;
but I do not know definitely. None of us
know anything about it. The whole mat
ter is in the hands of the executive com
mittee. They are not in the city, but they
are considering the matter together. I do
not believe lhat the company want a strike
any more than the men do. All that is
aeked is simple justice, and that the com
pany will probably grant at the asking."
"What hopes have the men of success ?'
"The Brotherhood includes three-fourths
of all the operators in the country. There
are 15,000 of us. The majority of those
who do not belong to the Brotherhood are
the graduates of the so-called colleges, and
do not know anything of the business, and
probably never will. It is sale to say that
nina-tenths of the practical operators of
the country belong to the Brotherhood, and
will step out when the7 word comes."
"The Brotherhood, as it now exists, has
not been long in existence, has it ?"
"About two years. You can imagine
what our rate of growth has been. We
are a branch of the Knights of Labor, an
organization that has initiated 2,000,000
members. We are probably the strongest
branch it has. We have always con
tributed liberally to the strikers of other
branches. If needed you may be sure we
would receive liberal support from them."
"What do you demand of the com
pany 7" was asked one of the operators.
' We ask that eight hours shall consti
tute a day's work for day men, and seven
hours for night men ; six days in the week ;
no Sunday work without compensation and
extra pay for extra labor. We also demand
an increase of 15 per cent, on all salaries."
"How do you manage your affairs when
the executive committee is out of town?"
"By cipher. The leaders of the order
have a cipher not known to the rank and
file. It is perfect We had the whole sys
tem of ciphers before us when it was de
vised. It consists of figures, and that is all
any one can tell about except those who

names of the officers it would throw them

Another member said that the following
list of the executive committee is correct :
Eugene J. O'Connor, of the Western Union
Telegraph company, Boston ; Koger J.
Mullin, ot the Great Northwestern lele-
graph company, Toronto; Mortimer D.
Shaw, of St. Louis ; John Campbell, of
Pittsburg, and Samuel Ford of Nashville.
The Telegraphers' Advocate, the journal
of the Brotherhood, in speaking of what the
Brotherhood has accomplished, says that it
has enabled managers to keep their men in
perfect discipline. It has largely decreased
errors : it has almost aoonsueu the peiiv
wire troubles which were formerly a source
of great annoyance. It has enabled the

about incompetent operators.

Union Telegraph company said to-day that

making a demand regarding either hours
or pay.
RACKET ON THE RAIL.
Items of Interest Picked up by the
Bazoo in Railway Circles.
I. W. Arnold, a Jefferson Citv opera
tor, was sight-seeing in Sedalia yesterday.
Missouri Pacific passenger engine
Nos. 251 and 243 are now in the shops un-
dergoing repairs.
S. K. Bullard, assistant superintendent
of telegraph for the Gould Southwestern
system, came in from St. Louis yesterday
afternoon.
John Hewitt, superintendent of motive
power on the Pacific, came in on the train
from the south last night and left on the !
main line train for St. Louis.
Conductor John McConnell has re
turned from his visit to McAllister Springs,
but will not go out on his regular run un
til the latter part of the week.
''Pete" Merrifield, who is receiving in
structions at Higginsville for the manage
ment of a local railway omce, came home
last night to spend the Sabbath.
Pacific switch engine No. 201 is in the
shops, almost ready to be sent out. It has
been thoroughly repaired and elegantly re
painted, and is as handsome as a school
girl in her graduation dress.
Vice-President Hoxie, of the South
western system, says wheat in lower Illi
nois will yield twelve to fifteen bushels
per acre. Corn in Southeast Missouri,
'round about Charleston, is in tassel and
silk.

The com-
pany is watching all closely, and if there
is a well founded suspicion that they are
putting money collected into their own
pockets they are discharged at once.
It is stated officially that the Texas &
Pacific road, of which Col. Eddv now has
the general superintending, put $95,000 in
to rolling stock and betterments of the
road, during April, 1883. For the first six
months of the year the company has put
an unusually large sum of money into the
property.
Conductor Charlie Fuller, of the main
line of the Pacific, was too ill to bring his
run out of Kansas City yesterday morning,
and, instead, occupied a couch in the parlor
car. Trainmaster Merrifield had charge of
the train until Sedalia was reached, when
he turned it over to Trainmaster Dimmock,
who took it east.
J. T. Grimshaw, of Jefferson City,
brother-in-law of G. L. Faulhaber, who
has been sojourning in Colorado for two
years past, arrived in Sedalia Friday night,
and has secured a run as Pacific express
messenger between Sedalia and Denison,
relieving Bob Flynt, who has been trans
ferred to the Ft. Worth, Texas, office.
John R. Mills, superintendent of the
Cherokee division of the Gulf road, began
his career as a peanut boy, away back in
the fifties, on a railroad in Indiana. He
then rote to fireman, next to engineer, and
in time became a conductor on a Missouri
road, where he remained for eight or ten
years. He is a man of good mechanical
ability and considerable ingenuity, and
can heave fuel or pull a throttle to-day
with the best of the boys.

of rheumatism by the great pain-banisher, iest seen in Central Missouri for years, and
St. Jocob's Oil; that he has found it an in-
valuable remedy for many ailments.

SEVERITY OP THE STORM.
It Raged With Intense Fury
in Lake Creek Township,
Ten Miles South.
Yearling Calves Killed by Hail -
Stones, and Growing
Laid Low.
Crops
The storm of rain, wind and hail
which visited this section r ndav atternoou
was pretty general throughout tne state, as
was evidenced bv the telegraphic reports in
yesterday mornings JBazoo; but in Central
.Missouri it am not prove as disastrous as
in Northwest Missouri, where houses were
scattered to the wiuds and several lives
lost.
The most severe and destructive
storm in this immediate vicinity occurred
inursuay night, however, and its ravages
as reported by reliable witnesses are almost
bevond belief.
Thomas W. Rhodes, who lives ten miles
south of Sedailia, in Lake creek township,
was in mis cuy yesieruay anu interviewed
by a Bazoo report -r.
"It was the worst hail storm I ever saw,"
said Mr. Rhodes, "and if it had been ac
companied by a heavy gale we would have
had no crops to harvest."
"What did it do for you. Mr. Rhodes?"
asked the reporter.
"It did considerable damaged me to the
extent of about $1 700."
"How so?"
"Well, I had in 100 acres of htx, just
ready to cut, and the hail ruined it com
pletelyso that it is not worth cutting."
"It must have been an unusual hail
st rm," suggested the reporter.
"Indeed it was. There are some who
will not believe it, but I can bring all the
protf that is necessary to show that many
of the stones were larger than goose eggs.
I have heard of such things before, but
never until Thursday night did I witness
or brlieve anything of the kind."
"The falling of hail stones of such
mag-
nitud must have proved injurious
to
stov k. 1) you know of any losses?"
'Ye, I !. On my place two yearling
calves wert- killed outright, and several
more were so badly injured that they will
cer 'at my du.
Did "the storm do vou any other dam-
asv
?"'
"Yes, it plaved havoc with the roof of
my barn, breaking the shingles and scat
tering them in eveiy dirertion."
"Was the wind very severe?"
"It was not very strong inmy immediate
neighborhood, but I understand it raged
with greit violence a mile or two from
where I live, laying low fields of corn, llax
and oats."
"Do you know of any other fanners who
were damaged by the storm?"
"Yes, there are a number who suffered
more or less. The reudence of Mr. Bud
McCormick was riddled by hail, many of
the large stoues going through the root, but
fortunately no one was injured."
Mr. T. J. Allcorn, who also lives in
Lake Creek lownship, was met by the BAZOO
representative. His residence proyed a tar
get for th- storm, and all the glass iu the
west side of the building was completely
demolished, necessitating his visitiug Seda
lia for the purpose of" replacing it. His
stock was under shelter, hence escaped in
jury; but a flock of geese was caught by
nail-stoues as large as a man's two hands
and several killed.
David Getz, another farmer of Lake
Creek, was out in a field when the storm
came up, and was struck on the forehead
by a bail-stone larger than a goose egg.
The lick was a glancing one, but it was
sufficient to knock the skin from his fore
head and nose, and the wound inflicted
will doubtl-ss prove the source of no little
annoyance ere it heals.
The storm extended over an area
probably two miles in width,
and was followed by a perfect
deluge of rain, together with a heavy gale
of wind. Trees and fences were laid low
in the path of the tornado, and the loss to
farmers from all sources cannot help foot
ing up large, as many fields of growing
grain are not worth cutting.
Mr. Wm. Inch, messenger on the narrow
gauge road, said the storm was quite severe
from Sedalia to Warsaw, Friday evening,
and the loss from wind and hail will aggre
gate considerable.
"VVhen the train arrived at Warsaw an
ominous looking cloud was hanging over
the town and many people were badly
frightened, as they firmly believed that a
cyclone was about to sweep down upon
them. Quite a number of the more timid
left their homes and sought refuge along
the river bank, hiding in the ravines and
other places that they could crawl into
Taken all in all, the storms of Thursday
the only wonder is that many lives were
not sacrificed.

out on his mission.
rm i
j. ne nrsi genneiuan approached was a
well-known county official, a bred-in-the-
booe Bourbon, who was never before loth
to speak out in meet in'.
"V ho is your choice for governor in the
forthcoming campaign ?" asked the Bazoo
young man.
"What's that to you?" queried the old-
timer, without so much as deigning a re-
"It7s nothing to me." replied the reporter.
"but the paper published for the people
now on earth would like to know where
you stand ''
"Well, 'the paper published for the neo-
ple now on earth' is barking at the wrong
tree: I am not to be interviewed. Good
day, sir," and he was off like a shot, leav
ing the reporter disconsolate.
lhe second gentleman sought was al-K) a
county official, and when interrogated.
said:
"I do not mind naming my choice, but
it is conditional that my name does not
appear in print. 1 am for John S. Phelps
first, last and all the time."
"And why for Phelps?"
"Because he is the best governor Missouri
has ever had you always knew where to
find him on every issue that arose. Give us
four years of Phelps' administration and
the Globe-Democrat will close its contin
ual howl about poor old Missouri.'"
Still another county official was ap
proached, and he, too, was averse to hav
ing his name appear as the champion of
any particular individual. On the prom
ise being given that it should remain hid
den, he spoke as follows :
lorn Bashaw, of Monroe county, is my
croice, Dnt i am atraid he will never get
there. As Second choice, I am for old man
Phelps. We have tried him once, and the
hrst man has yet to appear who will say
that he was found wanting."
A prominent lawyer was found in his
tKn 1 it. i . .. .
buu uu me reporter statin? his mis
sion the limb of the law said :
"My views amount to nothing, but if
they are of any service vou are welcome to
them. I am for Gen. Marmaduke, and he
will be the nominee of the democratic oartv
without a doubt."
"What makes you so positive?"
"His reply to Rev. Jno. A. Brooks on
the prohibition question did the buniness
for him. Trere is'nothincr that can beat
him. I have just been read ine to-dav's
St. Louis Republican, in which Marmaduke
expresses himself on the closing of the sa
loons in that city on Sunday. Here is
what he savs : I am onnosed to the en
forcement of the law first, last and every
time except in cases of special emergency.
What these cases may be it would be diffi
cult to say now, for as yet I see no such
cases. As the law stands upon the statute
book it does no harm and may be produc
tive of much good if allowed to remain
there in a dormant condition. When it is
necessary for it to be awakened from the
slumber in which it now reposes, the peo
ple will see the necessity of it and will call
for its enforcement. As things now are,
far from there being any such a need on
the part of thecommunity, there is a down
right aversion to any action touching upon
the matter That is Marmaduke all over,
and it is his outspoken course through life
that will make him our next chief execu
tive." Another Bourbon leader, who is proba
bly as well posted as any man iu Sedalia,
said:
"I am for Phelps, and he will get the
nomination if he wants it."
"What about Marmaduke?" asked the
reporter.
"Oh, Marmaduke is a good man. and I
would have no objection to him, but he
can't defeat Phelps. Oi course this section
of Missouri is for Marm tduke, because he
is one of us that is, he is a Saline county
man; but go through Southeast, Southwest,
Northern and Northwest Missouri and it
is all Phelps. North of ;he river the name
of Tom Bashaw is frequently mentioned,
but 'ti3 my opinion that his" following is
"The reporter called on seven other well
known democrats, not a single one of whom
would express his views unless it was stip
ulated that his name should not appear.
Of these seven, four were for Phelps, two
for Marmaduke and one for Bashaw.

Crushed His Hand.
v Add. Johnson, a switchman in the Mis
souri Pacific yards, employed at night,
will take a lay-off of a few weeks, owing
to an accident he met with Friday night.
While in the performance of his duties
he had occasion to make a coupling of a
couple of B. & O. cars, and was so unfor
tunate as to get his right hand caught be
tween the draw-heads, mashing his four
fingers in a cruel manner. On a former
occasion he met with very nearly a similar
mishap, which cost him his thumb, else it,
too, would have been crushed with the fin
gers. He was taken to the hospital, where
the mangled digits were amputated, after
which he was removed to his residence in
the eastern portion of the city.
