Sedalia Times

THE VOL X1 No OUR VISIT AT THE CAPITOL. Strange Faces. New Atmosphere and Hot Times was the Situa tion in and Around the Capitol-What We Observed A FEW NEGROES EMPLOYED. The Editor made a short trip to Jefferson City last Monday, after arriving there he taken lunch at a first class Negro resuarant that was intirely supported by the white patrene, we then taken a stroll up High street through the icy winds that came direct from the frozen Missouri river and slipped up and down those steep hills or rather mountains until we reached Capitol. After visiting the Legislature hall and Senate Chauger and listening to the law makers discuss their views on the new bills, we went then to visit the new officers and to have a hand shaking with the stranger to Missouri. From there we visited the supreme Court building and had a hearty welcome by our old reliable friend Judge Henry Lamm, whoes office is a paradise on earth. The Judge gave us that pleasant smile and friendly look and left with us the largest "Ben Davis" apple that could be found as a token of his friendship. Returning to the logirlature hall we met our Representative Mr E. E, Johnsoa, who is filling his seat with credit. Then we taken a close observation around the great construction to see what our party had given to the Negro voters who has every bean loyal to the party for many a year, and as result we found that the 50,000 Negro voters are represented as follows J D Meuldlen of St Louis janitor in Senate Richard Furgerson of Sedalia janitor in Senate J H McCtenahan of St Louis, janitor in Senate, John Thompson of Shelbina janitor in Senate Nienrode Jackson of St Louis janitor in Senate Wm Smith of St Louis Leut.

Think of it, 50000 voter are only entitled to about ten appointments in the State's capitol under a republican legislature body, and none of them above a janitorship. There are a number of applications by the Negroos for a position in the general public building commissioners department to do general cleaning, in which they do hope to share large y under ex-senator Seaberry, who defeated A W Lloyd our State Committeeman REDM N-GRAVITT WEDDING.

The Negro must learn to get together the same as the whitened dc., in order to be able to support themselves and family, because "In Union there is Strenght" added to the Laboring Hod-carriers and Monder-makers through and by this Union, under the excellent leadership of J P Moffit as president, Edward Grauville as recoding secretary, J.

Youthful Physician's Order Was at Least Comprehensive. A certain Harlem man has two bright children. They are quick at limitation and have a talent for making up games in which they cleverly burlesque their elders. A few days ago their mother found they were playing "doctor." The youngest child was the patient, with head wrapped in a towel, and the older was the physician, with a silk hat and a cane. The mother, unseen by the little ones, listened at the doorway. "I feel awful bad," said the patient. "We'll fix all that." said the doctor, briskly. "Lemme see your tongue." Out came the tiny red inspector. "Hum! Hum! Coated," said the doctor, looking very grave indeed. Then, without a word of warning, the skilled physician hauled off and gave the patient a smart slap in the region of the ribs. "Ouch!" cried the sufferer. "Feel any pain there?" inquired the doctor. "Yes," said the patient. "Yes," said the patient. "I thought so," said the doctor. "How's the other side?" "It's all right," said the patient, edging away. Thereupon the doctor produced a small bottle filled with bread pills and placed it on the table. "Take one of these pellets," he said, "dissolved in water, every seventeen minutes—alter-nit-ly." "How long mms' I take 'em?" groaned the patient. "Till you die," said the doctor.

"Some men like to be fussed over, and some don't," said the communicative barber. "Some of 'em think they are not getting their money's worth unless we give 'em hot towels, face massage and all the other fancy trimmings, while others want a quick shave and seem to grudge even the few minutes that it takes. It's hard to size up a new customer until you get used to his whims. One of my regulars is so stuck on getting shaved that he comes in twice a day, morning and evening, and he hasn't a heavy beard at that. Every other day would be enough for him if it wasn't that he takes a delight in lying back in the chair for half an hour or so and just being prinked up. He wants everything that's going, even to the electrical massage, which few men will stand for. Although I'm a barber, I don't see where it comes in myself; but there is no accounting for tastes"—Philadelphia Record. Somewhat Startling Until the Whole Line Was Sung. It was a new anthem, composed by the village organist, and this was its effect. The soprano started off with the very laudable, though rather startling, announcement—"I will wash." Straightway the alto, not to be outdone, declared she would wash. And the tenor, finding it to be the thing, warbled forth he would wash. Then the deep-chested basso, as though calling up all his fortitude for the plunge, bellowed forth the stern resolve that he would wash. Next a short interlude on the organ, strongly suggestive of the escaping of steam or splash of the waves, after which the choir, individually and collectively, asserted the firm, unshaken resolve that they would wash. At last they solved the problem by stating that they proposed to "wash their hands in innocency."—London Tit Bits. Vegetation on the Moon. Whether or not there really is vegetation on the moon's surface is a matter of some dispute. Prof. Pickering believes that there is, basing his belief upon observations of what he has called "variable spots"—portions which exhibit a rapid darkening, beginning shortly after sunrise, followed by an equally rapid fading toward sunset, accompanied by a diminution in size as they darken. From the peculiar character of the variation observed, Prof. Pickering concludes that organic life resembling vegetation is the only simple explanation of the changes which he has observed. Considering the long lunar day as a miniature terrestrial year, the theory of such life becomes colorable. The vegetation, if there be any, shoots up, flourishes and dies in a lunar day just as it grows and withers on the earth in a terrestrial year. ```markdown ``` Few Whites in Southwest Africa.

I suppose you saw a great deal in that you would change if it were left to you. "No-o," replied the kindly critic, thoughtfully. "On the whole I think I may say there was very little." "Really!' exclaimed the young author, delightful. "Do you know, I had an idea you'd tear the whole book to pieces, figuratively speaking, of course. I can't tell you how pleased I am. But of course there are some changes that you would advise relative to the publication of a second edition. What are they?" "There's only one that's of mouch importance,' said the critic. "And that?" asked the young author inquiringly. "Why, that's where the hero jumps from the yacht into the ocean to save the heroine from drowning." "Is it to thrilling? Wouldn't you have him jump after her?" enquired the young author anxiously. "No, it's not too thrilling," was the reply, "and of course I would have him go in after her, but, you see, they are both rescued. I would not have that." "You—you wouldn't have them rescued?" "Certainly not. Let them both drown." "But this happens in the first chapter—almost the first thing in the book." "Precisely. That's just when it ought to happen." The Box Next Door Oft I've envied goody people that could boast a model boy— The kind that will not fight or shout or break each costly toy— Who never tracks his muddy boots about the house, nor flings the house, nor flings His playthings on the parlor floor—my His playthings on the parlor floor—my boy who likes these things! And whenever I see him, and his reckless ways deplore I would always bid him pattern by the boy that lived next door. Yet the playthings would get broken in the careless little hand, And my head come nigh to bursting when he brought his pirate band to tear the house to atoms—while I talked landed in him To keep the small hot fingers from my shining window pane. But whener his brand-new trousers or a shirt he tore He would say he wanted to hear of that good boy next door." Now at last I've perfect quiet—there is stillness every day: And whener so grimy have grown clear and bright for eye; And I strain mine eyes to find the slightest mud print on the floor— But alas my house is spotless as the little mess my loving ears do ache to catch a sound. And if only I could find a shoe or broken toy around! But Tract Has Bloody Record On the six miles between the two rivers, North and South Canadians, there have been forty-two lives lost, all being in good health at the time of their death. On this six miles of railroad and wagon road, running parallel with the railroad, seven negroes, twenty whites and thirteen Indians have been killed one way or another. Twenty-four of these went the gun route, one committed suicide, two were killed by being run over by wagons, three by driving on the railroad right-of-way, two were killed by horses on right-of-way, a tramp was burned to death, a bridge hand met death by falling off a bridge, one, a woman, not known how she came to her death, one boy was killed by a horse. Out of this great lot of killed only seven were killed by officers; two by Creek Indian officers, who were executed by shooting. In this lot of deaths there was no accidental shooting; they all knew that the gun was loaded and used it to kill.—Kansas City Journal. EFFECT OF THE ANTHEM.

Persons who have wondered why so many deer huntess aro shot by fellow hunters may get ‘seme light on the matter from Thed@aee Van Dyke's in- structions to sportsmen. He says in his book on stil#hunting: “Having selected fhe groGmd upon which you are to huat you will probably, if left to yourself, go wandering around the woods with your eyes fixed about fifty yards ahead of you, expecting at every turn to see a large calflike ob- ject standing broadside to you in @ aice open spot. patiently awaiting your bullet—distance twenty-five or thirty yards. The first thing you must do is to lay aside each and every idea of how a wild deer looks that you have ever derived from your imagination, from pictures, even by the best artists. Look carefully all round you as far as you car see, but do not look for a deer. Remember this singular advice. Do not forget it for a moment. One of the great- est troubles that beset the beginner: 1s looking all the time for a deer. If the artist's deer is in sight you will see him quickly enough. Never mind that beast at all. Spend all your time looking for spots and patches of Ught gray, dark gray, brown or even Wack. Examine all you can see from the size of your hand t, the size of a small goat. Never mi.d the shape of them.” Returning to the Country. We have all become familiar In re cent years with the statement that the city has absorbed the country, that urban life, with its peculiar at tractions and industrial opportunities, has drawn heavily upon rural life, leaving large areas that were once peopled with a thrifty farming class practically tenantless and desolate. A late census bulletin, however, shows that a reaction has been in progress during the past ten years, the effect of which has been to return city and suburban population to its proper balance. According to this evidence 159 towns, centers of sub- urban communities, show an increase of 32 per cent in ten years. This is about the average increase of the whole country. The gain in popular tion of cities between 1880 and 1390 was 7 per cent. During the decade following it dropped to 2.5 per cent, This indicates that increase in the population of cities has not kept pace with that of the country. —Portland Oregonian.
