Both gentlemen impressed their hearers so appealingly that a liberal sum was raised in cash and subscriptions. What The Conservator Man Saw At The Convention. Good sense and broadness of thought thru its deliberations. Brother Ross is deeply interested in young peoples work so deeply, in fact that he has not taken time to find his better four sevenths. Pres. Harrison knows how to conduct a deliberative body according to parliamentary usage. Mrs. Susie Newbull knows how to welcome visitors to our city and entertain them after their arrival. Brother Fennel understands his business in an argument. SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, JUNE 24 1904. The Fourth of August GREATER THAN ALL ITS PREDECESSORS. THE MAIN ATTRACTION Hon. George H. White.

A large delegation from Gilliam, Marshall; Blackwater, Arrow Rock, Slater and Napton were here for children's day exercises Sunday. EVERTH--MILLS. Mr. Chas. Everth, of Napton, and Miss Pearl J. Mills, of Little Rock, were united in marrage in Arrow Rock, last Wednesday, at 7 p. m. The wedding was held in the Baptist church, Rev. C. R. Smith of Blackwater, officiating. Mr. F. Bush, of Arrow Rock, was organist, Misses Rose Danforth and Annie Falls, flower girls. The bride wore a becoming suit of blue silk trimmed in lace and ribbon, and a white silk veil. The veil was caught up in the top with a gold pin, the gift of her father. The bride is the foster daughter of Mr. Geo. Mills, an old and prominent citizen of this county. She is a lady of bright intellect and very pleasing demeanor, and is true and womanly which, doubt less, will make her a blessing to the man of her choice. The groom is of a highly respected family. He is the son of Mr. Dan Everth, and is a farmer of sterling worth. The two have been lovers for nearly six years. This unintenupted courtship for so long a time argues well for their future happiness. A legion of friends wish them well. The Conservator is the only paper in Central Missouri strictly negro.

A Jersey cow, followed by a swarm of humble bees, caused a wild stumpede among the spectators at a baseball game about a mile south of Richmond. Scores of people ran against a barbed wire fence in a frantic effort to avoid the advances of the cow and many had their clothing torn into shreds in an endeavor to free themselves from the tangles of the wire. Others, more athletic, cleared the four-strand fence and got away in safety. After the cow had made a couple of circuits about the grounds the bumble bees concluded to punish the crowd and this again brought on several cross-let sprints for town. The game was abandoned owing to the excitement and the bees were left in possession of the field. Buried the County's Money. John Onstott, 88 years old, died at Carthage on Saturday of heart failure. He was a character in Jasper county history. He saved the county funds from confederate soldiers in the civil war, when he was the bountyman for the county treasurer. He took the county's money and buried it on his farm, where it lay for four years. After the war he returned it and was arrested for theft because $300 was alleged to be missing. The jury acquitted him without leaving the box. Onstott was afterwards county judge and later county treasurer. He came to Missouri in 1817 and was brought up in Pike county. Ex-Preacher Sued for Divorce W. T. S. Barnes, formerly a well-known M. E. preacher of St. Joseph, and later organizer of the fraternal society, the "Giant Oaks," has been sued for divorce at Kansas City, his wife charging infidelity. Morgan May Run for Congress. "Charley" Morgan, of Nevada, who represented the old Fifteenth district in congress as a democrat for many years, but who since 1900 has been a republican, may be Congressman Benton's opponent this fall. Tailor-Made and Other Modes of the Present Summer Season Of course, the tailor-made admits of many phases; for instance, there is the simple tweed or serge, with a short skirt and stitched, strapped coat, as well as the more elaborate tailor made, beautifully braided and embroidered. Both in New York and in Paris all have gone mad over checks. The leading Parisian houses started by introducing small and neat checks in batiste and taffeta, and the giant shepherd's piald. But I fear they will soon be spoilt; not that the large checks made by a really good tailor are not the very smartest possible wear, especially for race meetings and similar occasions, but from a general survey of badly-cut check boleros and skirts, I have come to the conclusion that it behoves us to be very careful in the selection of a check costume. Perhaps the best way of treating these rather manly checks is to tone them down with black braiding, dull oriental embroideries, or clever introductions of suede in subdued shades; this latter form of trimming is very effective. A good many tailor-made, short basque coats are showing waistcoats of embroidered suede, while for wear on hotter days we see embroidered muslin vests. I have seen a dear, little black and white check frock with the new umbrella skirt just touching the ground with five rows of very fine black cloth, on which is laid some subdued oriental embroidery. The coat reaches just below the waist, coming over the skirt, and showing a waistcoat of fine black cloth, with insertions of old world lawn, outlined with oriental embroidery, finished with the nearest little hand-worked muslin collar over a black cloth stock. The coat is cut with the long shoulder, outlined with embroidery and a suggestion of black cloth trimming. The sleeves are very simple, finished with a deep gauntlet cuff with a touch of the embroidery and some oxidised silver buttons, which latter also adorn the coat. With this is worn a white chip hat of the simplest description, turned up slightly at the side, the only trimming consisting of a swathing of black oriental satin ribbon tying in a bow at the back, with fringed ends. Both on Tuscan and white straws are plain black satin and silk ribbons the favorite trimming for mourning wear. Threatened to Torture. In arresting Thomas B. Davis and Joel Taylor, the latter only 13 years old, at St. Loads, the police, it is claimed thwarted plans to secure $500 by means of blackmail and threats of death from A. P. Hill, a wealthy farmer of Diamond. A letter addressed to Hill fictitiously, it is said, in which the writer threatens torture to Hill unless he shall leave the money at a certain spot on the railroad, was found in Davis' pocket. The letter was stamped and ready for the posting, and, as Davis stated, would have been on its way to Diamond if he had not been arrested. The boy arrested with Davis stated that he is the son of B. B. Taylor, a feed and grain merchant of Diamond, Newton county. He stated that up to last Sunday Davis had been employed on a farm owned by his father near Diamond. Sunday, he stated, he stole $18 from his father and gave the money to Davis, who purchased tickets for the pair to Wentworth. They remained there a few hours and then went to St. Louis. Davis admitted to the police that four years ago he had killed a man at Galenn, but said that the killing had been done in self-defense. He wanted to get away from life in the country, he stated, and had hoped to secure the $500 in order to start in business in the city. The Taylor boy was suffering from a badly sprained and swollen wrist, which he stated he had suffered while hanging on a trestle to escape a train. The letter addressed to Hill was written in red ink. A loaded revolver was also found in Davis' pocket. The boy was held to await word from his father. Wilson's Exciting Career. Wilson's Exciting Career. James J. Wilson, the Douglas county man who killed two men, Orville Lyons and Dr. Hall, in 1868, will be released from the Missouri penitentiary July 3. The convict, who is now 67 years old, is to be one of the prisoners who get the benefit of the governor's Fourth of July clemency. In the summer of 1868 James J. Wilson, then a young man just out of the federal army, was running a thrasher with Orville Lyons, another farmer of Douglas county. One day Wilson and Lyons quarreled about the partnership business. Lyons seized a breast yoke and struck Wilson. Wilson sought revenge with a shotgun and killed Lyons. Then he became a fugitive from justice and lived for months in the woods around his home. One night he was slipping to the nouse of a friend in the neighborhood and saw a man crouching in bushes near the road. Wilson thought one of Lyons' relatives was on his track and fired. Dr. Hall, an innocent man, fell dead. With two deaths charged against him Wilson left the country and went to the Indian territory. There he lived and prospered and married a second wife. The Douglas county family lost all trace of Wilson and supposed that he was dead. In the fall of 1901 the murderer and his second wife, now an old woman and the mother of grown children, had a quarrel. The woman knew her husband's secret. She told the story to some officers and the Douglas county sheriff was informed of Wilson's hiding place. Sane, But Impecunious. On trial for insanity one day and married the next is the experience of W. D. Wilton Wallace, of Clay county. When it became known that he was about to be married, his brother, Robert Wallace, swore out information charging him with being of unsound mind and incapable of attending to business matters. The case was tried by a jury before Probate Judge Hopkins at Liberty. The jury's verdict was that Wallace was "capable of attending to his own business." He was accordingly released and was married by Judge Hopkins to Miss Deelvina Spry. Miss Spry's age is barely 15, while "Duke," as Wallace is known, is past 43. Wallace is without means and Judge Hopkins good-naturedly performed the ceremony free of charge. Missouri's Jail Population. Dr. Ellwood, of the state university, has made an exhaustive report on jails of the state. He finds many of them overcrowded and unsanitary. He finds the jail population of the state to be 2,500. He found 58 female prisoners, of whom 21 were white and 37 colored. The number of prisoners younger than 18 years was 42, of whom 22 were awaiting trial and 20 were serving sentence. The figures include only the county jails of the state. Starts New Train Service. The Chicago & Alton started its new passenger train service between Kansas City and St. Louis last Sunday. Until the new cutoff between Mexico and Old Monroe on the Burlington is built the new service will be on the Alton tracks from Kansas City to Louisiana and from Louisiana to St. Louis on the Burlington tracks. The Alton has four new trains with new equipment throughout. No Bail for Dr. Todd. Dr. J. D. Todd, of Richards, ex-representative in the legislature, who shot Robert T. Wall two months ago, has been refused bail. He will be tried at Nevada on October 17. WILL EXTEND TO BELTON. The Swope park electric line is to be extended to Belton, a distance of 23 miles. It will take in Holmes park and Hickman's Mills. Death of Banker Lee. Nichard Lee, banker and lumber man at Ludlow, is dead at a great age. Harry Gunhil TWO ATTRACTIVE SUMMER GOWNS One is made of dend-rose moore and a painted silk and lace, and finished with other is of blue taffetas souple, and velvet. VEN in the hottest months, least one really smart tail go out of fashion on account. Our tailors are really clever of making a tailor-made silk toilette, and, of course, which a smart tailor frock confection in silk or muslin. Of course, the tailor-made admits to the simple tweed or serge, with a short well as the more elaborate tailor made. Both in New York and in Paris all lie Parisian houses started by introducing and taffeta, and the giant shepherd's spoilt; not that the large checks made very smartest possible wear, especially but from a general survey of badly-cut to the conclusion that it behoves us to check costume. Perhaps the best way of treating them down with black braiding, dull productions of suede in subdued shades; effective. A good many tailor-made, short of embroidered suede, while for wear muslin vests. I have seen a dear, lie the new umbrella skirt just touching fine black cloth, on which is laid son coat reaches just below the waist, in waistcoat of fine black cloth, with inseam oriental embroidery, finished with the collar over a black satin stock. The clined with embroidery and a suggestion are very simple, finished with a dee embroidery and some oxidised silver coat. With this is worn a white chimp up slightly at the side, the only trim oriental satin ribbon tying in a bow on Tuscan and white straws are plus favorite trimming for mourning wear. A real old-fashioned gingham in l order, has a full bolero held in place showing a waistcoat of rose-colored law. The skirt of this is gauged round the stitched hem and rose-colored stitching effective little frock. Of course there are linens and line Paris, made with a long, full skirt, is occasions in the country, and even for also require a simpler kind of linen fairly short—only a little longer than boots or shoes. On no account should punt or boat. And further, I do imp linen frock at home to cut the skirt slip and so avoid that hopelessly bedraggled Nowadays, when such good patterns can wear a skirt which is short in front and Recollect that there should be no co should just clear the ground in the back (these are the short, practical s and lie on the ground all round; these are evening ewar.

The other is of blue taffetas souple, and velvet, finished with Irish lace. VEN in the hottest months of the year, we ought to possess at least one really smart tailor-made. Coats and skirts will never go out of fashion on account of their general utility and comfort. Our tailors are really clever, and have grasped the parisian knack of making a tailor-made frock look just as smart in its way as a silk toilette, and, of course, there are so many occasions on which a smart tailor frock is more de rigueur than an elaborate confection in silk or muslite. A real old-fashioned gingham in blue and white, also of the tailor-made order, has a full bolero held in place by a bright rose-colored suede band, showing a waistcoat of rose-colored lawn edged with narrow Valenciennes lace. The skirt of this is gauged round the hips and finished with a simple hem-silted hem and rose-colored stitching. This is a most simple, but very effective little frock. Of course there are linens and linens. The embroidered linen as seen in Paris, made with a long, full skirt, is quite smart enough for most festive occasions in the country, and even for garden parties, but for the country we also require a simpler kind of linen frock. First of all, the skirt must be fairly short—only a little longer than the genuine trotteuse—and show neat boots or shoes. On no account should a linen skirt be allowed to drag in a punt or boat. And further, I do implore all women who make the simple linen frock at home to cut the skirt slightly shorter at the back than in front and so avoid that hopelessly bedraggled appearance which has not yet died out. Nowadays, when such good patterns can be obtained it is quite inexcusable to wear a skirt which is short in front and dips at the back. Recollect that there should be no compromise in the matter of skirts; they should just clear the ground in the front and take an upward turn at the back (these are the short, practical skirts of to-day), or else should be full and lie on the ground all round; these latter do equally well for afternoon and evening ewr. Delaine is a material which can be charmingly treated in both ways. For morning wear the short, full skirt and blouse bodice unlined, worn with a neat leather or suede belt, is delightful. Very few women ever have really enough to dress on, but the girl who goes about a great deal has certainly a hard struggle to make both ends meet. If, however, she wears well-cut corsets, which to-day are quite inexpensive items, and pretty blouse bodices and full skirts, and, above all, is simple in her style of headgear, she will achieve success where an over-dressed woman will fail. Simplicity is the keynote of good fashion, more especially in the case of girls, who are wise if they take advantage of being able to wear the bright clear colors which in later years they are rightly a little nervous about wearing. A neat and pleasing frock for a day on the river is composed of scarlet linen and white embroidery, worn with a white kid band and neat turn-over muslin collar, with a fancy bow of worked muslin at the neck; if it happens to suit the individual wearer a scarlet muslin hat is a most effective frame for the face. Then a dead-white linen with a burnt straw-hat, relieved with a touch of black or a wreath of scarlet poppies, and a bright scarlet band and foulard tie, can also produce a good effect. White serge and navy blue serges of the tailor-made order are mostly trimmed with flat silk braid. A delightful costume for dull days consists of a blue serge bolero and skirt, a fine white muslin skirt, and a blue straw French sailor hat, with its wreath of corn flowers. Serges and linens this year require a certain amount of strapping, embroidery or trimming of some kind to look their best, and the muslins, too, for smarter occasions are somewhat elaborate, boasting, very often, insertions and frills of Valenciennes and many ruchings.

She thinks woman's safeguard is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —Ignorance and neglect are the cause of untold female suffering, not only with the laws of health but with the chance of a cure. I did not heed the warnings of headaches, organic pains, and general weariness, until I was well nigh prostrated, I knew I had to do something. Happily I did the right thing. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound faithfully, according to directions, and was rewarded in a few weeks to find that my aches and pains disappeared, and I again felt the glow of health through my body. Since I have been well I have been more careful, I have also advised a number of my sick friends to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and they have never had reason to be sorry.

It doesn't require wealth, nobility of birth nor official station in order to be truly great. Every one may not wear the warrior's clirmson and, his name may not be heard of beyond the limits of his neighborhood; yet, that is no detriment to "True greatness". The truest man of earth is he, who puts his hand chiefly to good and honest labor. Though the millionaire of our great cities, wherein so much suffering, vice, misery and evil exists, if he uses his means to relieve the suffering, to protect the erring and alleviate the distressed and if he be a God fearing man is a truly great man in the eyes of God and man. The young men of today, who can overcome the many temptations of evil tendencies and who have the will power and force of character enough to prove by their daily lives their true worth, are truly great. The same may be said of the young women of this age. The physician, if he be a Christian man and possessed of the qualities which are necessary factors in the make-up of a successful practitioner. A warm heart, sympathetic nature and a willingness to relieve the suffering of the worthy poor, without hope of reward; self-interest in his patients' salvation sufficient to enable him to offer up a prayer at the bedside of some dying man or woman, boy or girl, who may have gone astray. A word of comfort and of cheer spoken, now and then, by him, makes him a truly great man. The ministers of the gospel are truly great men. It matters not whether their lot be cast in the smallest village or in the large municipalities, if they are conscientious in the performance of the noble work God has given them to do. The kind and loving mother, upon whom devolves the cares of the home, the responsibilities of rearing the little ones and guiding their little feet in the right paths, it matters not how humble she be, if performing her life's work in the way God would have her, is a truly great woman. For a man to be great, it is not necessary that he should visit saloons, billiard halls or spend a great deal of his time standing on street corners, swearing wicked oaths. But as Spurgeon has said: "Great drinkers think themselves great men but, he is a self-murderer, who drinks to another's good health and robs himself of his own. For drunkenness is a demon to the soul, it is the wife's woe the children's sorrow, it makes a man wallow worse than a beast and act like a fool. Great talkers also think themselves great and wise men, but as Spurgeon further says "A man of silence is a man of sense, he acts sensibly, when he keeps quiet. And, in like manner, the woman may not have the habit of drinking as much as talking but she can do a world of mischief with her tongue. Men are not so often as bad in this case as the women. They say that silence is as good for women as for men but to women it is generally a stranger. Yet, I shall not judge all women by a few, since they have done some great things and they should be praised as much as men, when they have done noble deeds. Nobody is willing to risk their repu- tion by denying that woman has made wonderful advancement during the past century, along the many lines of intellectual dev elvement. (Concluded next week.) WHENEVER WE ARE. WE ARE FOREVER [Class Poem by Miss E. L. Britt.] Some what late from school's retreat, This Class has come here, you to meet Across the antique portico, Tat hardships their shadow throw. While from our seat in the school hall, We've often wished and said to all, whenever we are, Weareforever. Half way up life's stairs we stand, And point and beacon with each hand from its steps of massive oak; Like a beauty, who, under her eloak; Bushes herself and sighs alas. With gleeful voice to all who pass, When ever we are, we are forever. To night our voice is strong but light, As in the still dead of night. Plain as a moving foot-step's fall. So echoes along the future's hall. Around the ceiling, along the floor, And seems to speak through its cham- door. ber door, When ever we are, we are for ever. Many days of sorrow, and of mirth But never forgetful of our birth, Through many slow vicissitudes, Of sadful time, unmoved we've stood, And still like God's unchanging law, We know from all we've learned & saw When ever we are, we are forever In our school room used to be, True souled hospitality; There in our hearts were light and free; Our vows rang with childish glee; But like sweep music by the way That sweetly brings the changeless lay, When ever we are, we are for ever. There, groups of gleeful children played. Our ongs and toilings strayed; O, jeweled hour! O, silver prime And affections of love and time; Even as the debtors count their gold, Those precious hours have been told, when ever we are, we are forever. From the school life clothed in might, Comes our class forth, with smiles so bright, To bid adien to our friends and all, As we rush forth to duties call, And cast our lives in the future sea, Where waves sing forth for you and me. When ever we are, we are forever I love the great world as we go; We shall carry seeds of knowledge And through out our lives we'll sow, Seeds of ourest thought and action. That the world may better know When ever we are, we are forever. Our class may soon be scattered and fled. Some be married, some be dead; And could we ask with throbs of pain, Out when shall we all meet again? As in the silence of the night, Our anxious hearts will make reply, When ever we are, we are for ever. Where ever we must be, there, Where sadful pangs, tears and care; And work and pain shall disappear, For ever here, when ever there, The hour glass of eternity Drowns this lay continually; When ever we are, we are forever.
