A BRILLIANT WEDDING. The Caihollo Cfcurch the Soon of a cy-oni Occasion Mr. J. Pohl United in Marriage to Miss. Jennie Burt.

We find In the Sedalia Democrat of Wednes day the follow ins account ol the marriage cf John W. Pohl, of this city, tu Miss Jennie Burt, of Sedalia: Wi tender the nappy pair our mot earnest May their ways be scattered with the thorniest) rose of never-ending joy and bliss: "For several days past the members of the 'Sodality," a young Indies' Catholic society, and the Sisters of St. Joseph Convent of this city have been busily engaged decorating with flowers, plants and evergreens tho Catholic church, preparatory to the celebration of a marriage ceremony, set for half past 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. A public wedding of this kind always draws well, and when the contracting-parties are generally known ami popular alike with old and young, as was the case in this instance, it is no wonder the full seating capacity of the large church was tested. The assemblage, which was goinposed largely of ladies, began to congregrate before seven o'clock, and by the time the hour rolled around for which the ceremony was fixed there were but few seats left.

The church was brilliantly lighted and handsomely decorated. There were four archways made of evsrgreens extending over the nuin aisle between the entrance and the sanctuary, through which the wedding party would pass. Magnificent lace curtains, extending from the ceiling to the floor, but looped up In festoons, marked the line between the auditorium and the sanctuary. Tho Holy Altar of the Blessed Virgin was lighted up with wax tapers, and presented a beautiful appearance. The "Wedding encased in a net-work of evergreens, was suspended from the ceiling Inside of the sanctuary, and directly in front of the altar.

THE CONTRACTING PARTIES are both well knowu in this city. Mr. J. Pohl has for several years been engaged ex. tenslvely iu the manufacture of brick both at Jeffeison City and Sedalia.

Ue is a thorough business man and a natural born gentleman. Upright aud fair in his dealings, he has made a host ol friends here. The bride, Miss Jennie Bart, the second daughter of Mr. John Burt, the Second street boot and shoe dealer. She is a young lady of rare personal attractions, and is highly accomplished.

She is peculiarly adapted to make the subject of her choice a helpmeet in every sense of tho word. It was nearly o'clock before the wed-ding party entered the church, the attendants, Mr. Benjamin Pohl, of Jefferson City, and Miss Jennie Downing, of Sedalia, arm-in-arm, slowly followed by the groom, with the bride hanging upon his lett arm, and proceeded with measured tread up the main aisleway. while the organ pealed forth a beautiful wedding march. It is unnecessary to state they were the cynosure, of all eyes.

They entered the sanctuary and took position directly in front of the altar, beneath the wedding bell, the bridesmaid on tho extreme left, and the groomsman on the right, the bride Hnd groom in the centre. They stood with their backs to the audience while that beautiful song. "Holy Mother Guard their Footsteps," was elegantly rendered by a member of the choir. Alter the song Father Graham faced the couple and delivered them a nhort but impressive address, when the regular Catholic ceremony was performed. The flower girls, the little Misses Lizzie Burt, tho bride's sister, and Carrie Burns, played a prominent part sod appeared to good advantage.

TIIK TROSSEAU. The bride was costumed in a navy blue gros grain silk suit, made with polonaise and Princess skirt draped with white tulle and orange blossoms; an elaborate veil of white tulle ornamented with orange blossoms. The trosseau was designed and made by Mrs. G. B.

Kor-ton and Mrs. J. B. Hall, of this city. The bridesmaid, Miss Jeunie Downing, was also arrayed in navy blue silk, elegantly trimmed, aud draped with orange flowers.

The groom and groomsman were attired in the conventional suits of black broadcloth with white kid gloves. As soon as the ceremony was concluded the bridal party filed out of the church and proceeded to the neat residence on Jefferson street, where magnificont repast awaited them and a few chosen friends, and which was partakeu of after the usual congratulations had been extended. The bridal party left last night on the 10 Pacific train, upon their bridal tour. They will stop a few days at Jefferson City, and then proceed to St. Louis.

From there thev will visit Quincy, Hannibal and other roints, na return to this city In about ten days." TesJ; It la True. A receut article appeared in the Journal in which It was claimed that the natural resourc es of Missouri are, if possible, greater than those of the State of Kansas, and that by un wise legislation tne Democratic, party of Missouri had, instead of encouraging Immigration from other states, virtually put a quietus upon it. The editor of tho Kansas paper on Fourth street camb luriously to the rescue, even "pawing tho valleys with fierceness and rage." Impressed with a new Idea, he struck blindly, inougn most uuskiiiiuily, at a castle which had no existence except in bis own brain. Be quiet during these troublous times on Fourth street, and let us reason together. Please be cheerful and explain the following pertinent questions to your constituency in Kansas; but whatever you do, be careful not to breathe it to the faithful in Missouri: First Have you heard that Immigration has eased comparatively in Missouri, except lu a few of the towns, since 1870? 8ocond- Have you learned that good farming land on either side of the Missouri river from St.

Charles to Kansas City Is not so well improved and is worth from fifty to one hundred percent less than good farming land throughout the eastern part of Kansas Third Will you please explain whv It is that (armsin the southern tier of counties In Iowa and the northern tier of counties in Missouri, that those In Iowa just across the line are worth a hundred per cent more per acre than in Missouri? If God made the difference, as you contend, why Is the price not nniform along the line? Fourth Are you aware of the fact that there are millions of acres of beautiful prairie land throughout North Missouri that have not been cultivated, andean be bought at from 95 to $10 per acre at this time. Do you not know that farms nro cheaper to day In Missouri than in Kansas, and that In' stead ot Missouri being a State having well Inv proved farms In a high state of cultivat on that the reverse is true? No one, unless he has the eyes of a mole, or Is willfully blind, will deny that Missouri Is naturally the most highly favored State In the great Mississippi basin. Here Nature has been most protuse in the distribution of her gifts. More than one-third of the State is covered by coal fields. The purest iron ore In the world Is piled on the top of her surface.

No better fruit and farming country Is found in the United States east of the Kocky mountains. She oilers every diversity of pursuit to Industry, enterprise and Intelligence. With all of these natural advantages, why do intelligent citizens with capital shun her borders? There can be but one reason, but one legitimate influence, and it Is valid. In all of this silver lining there is a dark background. It is far better to come out boldly like men, and acknowledge it and correct it.

than to attempt by the thinnest subterfuges to conceal it. Amnog the people of the Eastern and Western States the public schools have a strong hold, and with mn who have families to raise and educate, one of the first questions asked is about the school system. Those who sell out In the older States aud emigrate to the new and Missouri comparatively Is a new State so far as improvement is concerned inform themselves before venturing upon so important an undertaking, but what encouragement is otl'ered them? Let us take good orthodox Dcmucratic authority. Hon. U.

D. Shannon issued an address ast December to the teachers of Missouri-Jlear him: "Acting nearly altogether independently and in our own individual spheres driven to atirh an unfortunate attitude by blundering legislation and the dej ormity of the present school taw we have, nevertheless, been collecting the materials for co-operation, and arranging our resources for concentrated effort, when the uppunuiie moment snouiu come." Who enacted the blundering legislation? The Democratic party. Who condemns this legislation? A perpendicular Democrat. Who believes that he told the naked truth? Every rational man in the State. Who else believes it? Everybody in other States.

Who alone has the hardihood to deny itt We wait calmly lor a reply. K. C. Journal. OBITUARY.

Warrensburg, on Friday, the 1st day of March. Rande, the St. Elmo Murderer, The Journal's Galesburg special savs Tan jury in the Rande murder trial, after being locked up forty hours, returned a verdict at eight o'clock this morning, finding the prisoner guilty of murder, fixing the punishment at Imprisonmeut for life.

A motion for an arrest of judgment was overruled. Previous to the sentence Rande said he was guiltless of murder that several witnesses had sworn falsely agalastf him. He was immediately taken to Jollet. heavily ironed and under guard of several officers. St.

Louis Journal. RANDE OOES TO THE PENITENTIARY. The Trial Ended. Galksbtjro, Feb. 23.

The jury In the Rande case returned their verdict In the court at 8:15 this morning. Sheriff Berggren, who had been informed as to what the verdict would be, having requested Judge Smith to convene court as soon as possible to receive the verdict and pronounce sentence so that Rande could be got aboard the 8 :50 train for Jollet before the anticipated indignation over the coming verdict could take the form of lynch law. The verdict found Rande guilty of murder and sentenced him to the penitentiary for life. Rande heard the verdict read with as little concern as when he said: "Not guilty" at his arraign ment last term. The ceurt asked him if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced against blra.

He answered that he had, and after a short consultation with his counsel. O. F. Price, he thus addressed the court: REMARKS OF MR. RAN DR.

"Your honor. I have this to sav. and will say it briefly and to the point. Some ten or twelve witnesses have sworn wilfully false in this case, have loaded themselves with nerinrv enough to sink a 77-ton ship to the lowest depths of hell especially Sutton of the Northern penitentiary at Michigan City, and if vour honor does not prosecute him vnn will ha guilty of a dereliction of your duty." I He was, after sentence was pronounced, hnr. ried to the train, and at 9 o'clock left town in the charge of Sheriff Berggren, City Marshal Fowler and a deputy, jesting with the crowd and cursing the many objects of bis hatred as oi yore bherlff Berggren had an esneRlal eve on the sturdy men of Gilson, who, ho thought, might come up en masse on the 11 o'clock train to mete out to Rande the justice, which, according to universal sentiment here, was shamerully defeated through the verdict found THR JURY.

The point of controversy between the jurors was finally as to the punishment to be given ior murder, three of them being for a life sentence and nine for hanging. Two or the three jurors who finally prevailed In favor of a life sentence are strongly suspected of having committed perjury in swearing, when called to thejury- oox, mat they had expressed no opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Rande, whereas it is asserted by parties who had previously conversed with them that the contrary was the fact. The trial has cdst this (Knox) county some $5,000, and the people thereof are unsatisfied and indignant at the outcome of it. They thought Rande was booked for the gallows on the law and the evidence. Sheriff Berggren telegraphed to 1 the Suite's attorney this afternoon, saying that Itande was landed safely in the penitentiary at 8 :30 p.

m. Sudden and Singular Death. Peter Sheridan, a convict in the penitentiary from St. Louis, sent up for robbing the express, a ten year man, and who would have been seven years in confinement in October next. died suddenly, on Tuesday afternoon.

He was a stone mason by trade, and was, to all appearance, a hale and hearty man. Some time ago, the physician to tno penitentiary had him transferred to the Hospital, where he was employed in the capacity cl a servant. He had been in usual health, and at noon ate heartily and went about his work. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon he was found in a room, the floor of which he was mopping, In apparently a swoon. The attendants picked him up and carried him into a bed room, when he rallied and asked: "What is the matter with me?" A messenger was immediately despatched for Dr.

Willis B. Winston, physician to the penitentiary, who arrived in a very few minutes. At first sight or the sick man the Doc-tor thought he was dying. Circulation had ceased entirely, but vigorous treatment was at once employed to excite circulation though tono avail. Hot bricks, hot jugs of water and stimulants, failed to produce the slightest symptom of restored circulation.

Notwithstanding this he lived for an hour, during which he was, for the most part, conscious, locating his pain-asking for a drink, and as the doctor was about to dispatch a messenger to town for additional medical assistance, the patient of an hour suddenly expired. The singularity of the death, the protracted suspension of circulation and other attending circumstances, excited the Doctor's spirit of Investigation. Accordingly on Wednesday morning, he summoned to his assistance Doctor's Thompson and Moore, and apost mortem examination was held. This examination developed that death had, undoubtedly, resulted from aneurism of the arch of the aorta. Tortures that need not be Endured.

People suffer a great deal of pain unnecessarily. Among tortures that need not be endured are those inflicted by the rheumatism and gout, since the acrid element In the blood which produces them by contact with the sensitive covering of the muscles and Joints may be eliminated by the use of that matchless depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, before the inflammatory symptoms are developed to any great extent. When it is considered what excruciating tortures rheumatism inflicts, and what a tendency it has, when fully developed, to attack the heart, the advisability of an early use of such a reliable antidote becomes at once apparent. The rbeuinatio virus is expelled from the blood by 'the increased action of the kidneys which act as strainers produced by the Bitters, and the suflerer will find, II he uses this supreme defensive agent, that he will be protected against a return of the agonizing complaint. Dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver and bowel complaints and other maladies, are also cured by this admirable remedy.

The Governor has granted a pardon 10 Tbos. L. Shield, of Scotland county, sent to the jail of saiJ county for sit months for the crime of grand larcony.

The sentence was two years In the penitentiary, but com muted by the court to six months in jail, S'jlelds being under sixteen years of age. The tail ot Scotland county has been reported by the grand Jury as a disgrace to the county. The prisoner's youth, his Imprisonment for three months m'such a jill, and his uniform good conduct while In prison, the Governor deemed good reasons for granting the petition for his release. Pardons have bnen issued under the three-fourths rule to the following convicts: Thos. Boland.

St. Louis, five years for assault to kill; Wm. Ousley, Howard county, five years for burglary and larceny James Hickman and Wm. Toby, of Callaway, six years each for a crime not stated. The Only Remedy.
