Sedalia Times

THE SEDALIA VOL. VIII THE FIVE CENT CIGAR Average Life of Popular Brands Said to Be Five Years. "The average life of the nickel cigar is five years," said a prominent tobacco man to a writer for the New Orleans Times-Democrat, "and it is curious to note the differences which have enabled cigar men to arrive at this general average of the five-cent cigar's life. Many cigars of this class run through a long series of years. There are some brands now that have been running for more than a quarter of a century under the same name, and they are really the same cigars, made in the same way, having the same flavor and all that sort of thing. In this connection I have been impressed by the remark which we often hear about certain brands of cigars changing in quality. I heard a man say the other day that he had been smoking a certain brand of cigars for two years or longer, but that the cigar was getting so bad that he had concluded to quit buying it at all. "It is nothing like the same cigar,' he said; 'the taste has changed, and it tastes like a mixture of cabbage leaves.' Now he was altogether wrong about that. I know the cigar, know how it is made and all about it, and I know that no sort of change has been made in the process of manufacture. The trouble is that man's taste changes. He may get up feeling badly, his stomach may be in bad shape, and of course the cigar will not taste as it did when his system was in better condition. The cigar is blamed, and he simply dashes the thing into the street, and quits buying it. Instances of this sort are very common. Mind you I do not mean to say that some of the brands do not change. There are tricks in the cigar business, just as there are tricks in other trades. But in nine cases out of ten the trouble is with the smoker. But recurring to the age of cigars, the average to which I have referred has been settled upon by tobacco men and is accepted throughout the country. It is reached by taking the two extremes, the good and the bad five cent cigar, and figuring back to the middle. Some five cent cigars close with the first lot made. They are failures, having nothing in them to recommend them to the public. The material out of which they are made would not make decent 'three-fors,' the kind that are sold to the negroes on the river. The higher grades of five cent cigars are made as carefully, and with as much skill as the cigars that are sold at a higher price, and I do not mind saying that many of them are really far superior in material, flavor and method of manufacture. So many of them, however, are of the cheap kind that the average is lowered to five years, while the average life of the higher priced cigars will run to a much higher figure." TWO MOONS OF SALT. Some Interesting Statements Concerning Amount of Salt in the Sea. Roughly speaking, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, if you take the salt out of the sea water, you deprive it of a thirtieth of its weight. On that basis one-thirtieth of the entire weight of all the sea water in the world is salt, and, as salt and water bulk about the same, we may estimate, also, that, by bulk, one-thirtieth of the huge mass of the ocean is pure salt. What does this bring us to? Taking the 130,000,000 odd square miles of the five oceans to average 11 miles deep, we have in them alone 300,000,000 cubic miles of salt water. A thirtieth of this should give us the bulk of the salt contained in the great waters of the globe. Rounding the figures, we get something like 7,000,000 cubic miles of salt. If it were taken out and spread ever the surface of the six continents they would be covered with its snowy powder to a depth almost equal to the height of Bunker Hill monument, in Boston. To put it another way, if all the earth were salt water there would be enough salt in it to make two globes of solid salt but very little smaller than our moon. ANGEL FISH A FIGHTER. Beautiful Outwardly, But So Cantankerous That It Lived Alone. READ SPECIAL Next Saturday There died at the aquarium recently an angel fish that for years had had a tank all to itself. It differed from the other angel fish exhibited there also in the respect that it lived unusually long in captivity, says the New York Sun. One reason why the angels are hard to keep is their scrappiness among themselves. The fight and quarrel and wound one another with the sharp spines with which their gill covers are armed. This long-lived angel fish killed two or three tank mates, or so wounded them that they died of their injuries, and it continued to attack other angel fish put into the tank with it, until finally, and because of its great beauty, it was permitted to occupy a tank by itself. It was a vigorous, hardy fish, and the brightest-colored fish the aquarium has ever had; and all angel fish are beautiful. Some angel fish have yellow tails. This one had a blue tail with a yellow edge and the characteristic angel fish blue of its body was of the deepest and at the same time the most livid and brilliant blue. At times it seemed almost luminous; it was a wonderful and most beautiful blue. Fighter as it was among its kind, it was one of the tamest fish in the aquarium. It took food from the hand when it had been there two weeks, and was ready to take food in that manner always thereafter. On the last day that it was fed something so frightened the angel fish that it jumped out of the water and struck the wire screen over its tank with such violence as to inflict a serious cut in its head. It had been in perfect health and condition up to that time, but, susceptible as all fishes are to fright and shock, this was too much for it, and in the following two days it went through a familiar course. Sometimes it would rush about, and in this blind scurrying do itself some other injury, and sometimes it would go round and round in a small circle, for minutes or an hour at a time, only to fly off into tantrums again, and finally to die of exhaustion.

Platform of State Convention re affirmed and Victory Pre dicted—Keren talks The Seventh district republican congressional convention was called to order in the circuit court room at the court house by P H Sangree, chairman of the congressional committee shortly before 11 o'clock Thursday morning. The work was done in quick order, as Brunjes of Warsaw, who was a candidate for congressman withdrew, and Mr Peal of Springfield was the unanimous choice. A well chosen address was made by Hon. R C Kerena, followed by Mr Peal and Mr Brunjes. The convention then adjourned. Be it re owed by the republicans to the 7th congressional district of Mrs. sorri, in convention assembled. That we endorse the republican state platform as adopted at Jefferson City on the 2d day of June, 1902, and commend its declarations to the careful consideration, of every citizen. We hereby leastily endorse the administration of President Rocsvelt as mon the wisest and 0most patriotic that has ever blessed this country. We especially commend the policy of reciprocity with Cuba which he has recommended to congress as eminently wise and just as calculated to promote and conserve the close commercial relations which ought to obtain between the two republics. A Brutal act require Scott of Bunceton shots Bert Wright a colored Boy, Thursday Bert Wright, of Banceton, who came to our city to spend the fair week, was brutally shot and wounded by justice of peace Scott, of Bunceton. Wright was charged with having been engaged in a fight with this supposed justice, and cut him with a knife, and after the fight he made well his escapes to Sedalia. 'Squire Scott buckled on his revolver and started out to find this man Wyght and to take the law at the end of his pistol. He secured the services of detective Drake and soon found the man at the residence of Mr. Robert Martin Upon their arrival the, Squire rushed into the house without asking admission and upon seeing Mr. Right, say "Now I have got you, dam you!" and fired upon him while he was sitting talking with a young lady in the patrol of Mr Martin's in the midst of their two infant children. The first shot went wild and the second one struck Wright in the stomach and he feel to the flour he was soon removed to the jail and from there to the city hospital and were taken to Boonville. The colored people of this city are very much worked up over the matter and ree anxious to know of what right a justice of the peace to go into another town without a State warrant or being deputied by a sheriff or constable. and force his way into a man home with showing his legal authority and shooting a man with the entention to kill without a moments notice, claim to be an office and a deteilive. He has trumped the laws of state and the dignity of our excellent stuff of officers under h's feet, and is no more o less than a would be murdurer and should be arrested and prosecuted highest extend of the law.

Stop in get a lunch from her Prosecuting Attorney Cashman was forced down and out of the race for his second term; well what do you think of that for harmony. Messrs Kerens and Tracy, two of the distinguished visitors in Sedalia Thursday, express the opinion that with such perfect understanding and uneness of purpose as exists in the republican ranks here there can be no possibility of defeat. But the fact must not be lost sight off that the emocrats of the county has an exceptionally good ticket in the field, and that present differences may be smoothed over. We are not so sure of success that we can afford to let other fellows do all of the campaigning. Fow that the two county tickets are nominated and are in the field for the consideration of the Pettis county voters, and the fight is now on in full blaze. The colored voters will be solicited on every hand to vote for Mr so and so, and will be offered sums of money for their suffrag. We urge upon our people to be sure and begin right and when they do above all stay right, and remember that the men you elect this fall, will be there for the next two or four years, and if he is not a friend to the colored man, let him be who he may, he should not receive the Negroes support and be put into a big fat office. If he has proven to the masses of the Negroes voters that he is their friend like Mr Kelley, Bothwell, Franklin and James Ringen has did then you must not suffer them to be downed. The time is come when young and old Negroes must putting any and everything in office by their votes for a few dollars are a false smile and the slavery plea, we want jobs, we want men who believes that it is no disgrace to vote for a Negro when he has been nominated on a republican ticket by republican convention, we want men in our county court and in other county offices who believes that there are some Negro in Pettis county who is capable of washing spittoons and sweeping rooms in our court house. we want deputies in as many places as possible. How many of the voting young men, yes middle and aged colored voters will join in and help make a fight for public jobs for some deserving young man. Preachers and school teachers now is your time to show the people that you are for building up the coming young Negro, if you must edge in politics, tell your people to stop voting for beer, cigars and a few pennies and go to voting for race interest and chance to earn an honest dollar. Hon. G, P Peale, the nominee of the Seventh district republican convention, is an orator of great force. He is magnetic, and carries his audience with him at every point. He comes from Greene county the home of the democratic nominee, and will give that gentleman another defeat to record at the close of the campaign, he is hustler and will make a hot fight. DONT FAIL TO GET A COPY OF THIS PAPER NEXT Satudry The TIMES will make a special political issue on next Saturday in our new dress of type.

The devoted husband, with the aged physician, stood by her bedside. They had done all that human skill could do, but in vain. It was evident that a human life was ebbing away. With an agonized gesture the husband turned to the man of medicine. "Can you do nothing more?" he cried. by Lot. According to a Trieste correspondent wealthy Greek, who recently died at Corfu, hit upon a novel way of disposing of his wealth.
