In Memorian.

Died, in Lamonie. Peltis county, Mis-
souri,, Of pneumonia. Jan. 18th, ISIS, Mr.
w. T. Edelen.
Mr.. Edelen was born in Charles county
Maryland, but for the past five years had
been a resident of L,monte, this State
where, by his correct department and genia
social qualities, he had won innumersble
friends. In business he was straightfOr-
ward, affable and If sterling integrity, ener
geiic and consistent at all times. His aim
in life was usefulness. He vas a valued aid
esteemed member of the Odd Fellow.
Society and embodied in his character sheiI
cardinal virtues in his intercourse with the
world. To visit the sick, TO relieve the
destitute. was a pleasure TO him. For the
tears and woes Of mankind, he had a willing
ear and ready hand. Friendship, love and
faith, actuaied him in all his movements
and by his deatl: vacancy is caused in
society that will long BE- felt. He died far
distant from any ties of consanguinity, moi
having a relative in this State, but he was
surrounded by many ardent friends, en-.
deared to him by his many virtues, who
deeply mourn his loss, and by his death his
friends realize the force of these beautiful
lines:

1t is said by physicians that covering
old wall paper with new is very detrimental
to the health Of persons inhabiting rooms
the walls of which have been subjected
once or twice to that process. In build
ing undergoing repair in St. Louis, this
week, the old paPering was stripped from
the walls, and found 10 he of 40 many layer
that it Was almost IA thick as sole leather
The odor of it, as caught by passers BY, was
really sickening.
Formerly suspicion fell on green wall
papers only, and there WAS certain reason
for this, because there was really not the
slighteat excuse for using arsenic IN even
the brilliant colors of any shade than green
Paper etainers, however. have found ih:,
it is such an unusually profitable practice
that now they are not content to use arsenic
in green wall paper only, but are introduc
ing it into even the palest white drawing
room papers, and especially into thost
which have an enamelled ground. Some
recent analysises have resulted in the start
ling disclosure that many Of the pale col
ored wall papers contain fifteen or twenty
FIVE grains Of arsenic per square foot, or I
lquantity in excess Of that which is contain
ed in most of the brilliant green papers
) BY attempting to MAKE the color of tn
the pattern as dead as possible. the evil i
increased, for the arsenical coloring matte
, is put on in such a loose and powdery form
that the mere friction Of coat or dres
against the paper ia sufficient to bring Of
? quantities of arsenic which can be detecte
by chemical test.

BAD BUSINESS.


K. c. Journal.
A good deal OF excitement has been Gre.
ated in certain railroad circles cf this vi.
cinity. during the past few day-, BY the re.
port that large number Of counterfeit
railroad tickets had been put in circulation
1t is we'll known that numder OF bogus
tickets purporting to have been issued BY
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
points in Colorado are in the country, as
one was taken up by the Kansas Pacific
read only 'hort time since. The finding
of this ticket led to the knowledge that a
certain ticket sFeculstor in this city was
making preparations to food the country
with counterfeit tickets 10 the East, by way
of the Missouri Pacific road. The "scalper"
went to a certain engraver in the city and
stated that he was Mr.. G. III. HeafTord of
the Missouri Pacific road and that ne want
ed to get some work done and that he
wanted it done at once. He produced such
ticket IS lie proposed to counterfeit and
had the engraver 10 do what - known as
the "wa,er" part. He then took the tick
ets to Leavenworth, where he had the job
completed. and but for little blunder on
the part OF the engraver. would have been
secure for time. The engraver had n a
friend a certain corpulent individual, who
has employment in newspaper Office OF
the city, and to him he told Of the fine job
he had done for Mr.. Heafford, of the Mis-
souri, Pacific road. The said corpulent in
dividual at once made the facts known to
Mr.. Cornell, of the Kansas Pacific road,
who notified Mr.. Heafford sf the state of
affairs. An official Of the Missouri Pacific
road came at once TO the city, and findin.
the ticket broker, had him to accompany
him to St. Louis. They returned yesterday
and fresh Developments may be looked for
to-day.

Of the meeting is, Of coarse, friendly dis
cussion Of the practical operation Of the
State railroad Law which soes into effect
next Monday. There are many questions
Of detail to be settled, and . general under
standing vill be good thing. Most Of the
railroads have notified the commissioners
that their representatives will be present At
the meeting.

"They loved not wisely, but too we'll,

sully his reputation or taint his good name
Among the members Of the family is .
daughter over whose head some nineteen OF
twenty summers have passed; and her ma
turing years should certainly have caused
her TO pause before INDUCING in any indis-
,retions that would in any way detract
from the family reputation But she, like
many others of her sex. yielded to the
irmpter," and has now brought blight on
her whole future life. Day before yester-
day there was born unto her at her fathers
residence. twelve pound boy, which bore
u likely resemblance TO = young medical
stud. mt attending the ST. Joseph Hospital
.LedicaI College. The young daughter at
once pronounced him to he the father and
sent him word to that effect. advising hmm
that it would be hest for him to come to
terms at once admit the charge and take
her for his lawful welded wife.
The young medical student was not made
Of that class Of human nature which il
easily "bulldozed," and he at once gave her
to understand that he denied the charge,
and would henceforth have nothing To do
with her. The state of affairs vac laid he-
fore Justice of the Peace Miller, about =
mile distant. She acknowledged to him
that the medical student had paid her s.
or $40 for her virtue, and also had promis-
ed to marry her. The squire told her that
she could do nothing with him, il being
nothing more than business transaction.
Thus the matter rests at present.
The young man is about twenty eight
years Of age, and since November last has
resided in this city Cor the purpose Of at
tending the ST. joseph Hospital Medical
College. His home is near Jimtown, where
his parents lire. For two terms previous
TO coming 10 st. Joseph, he taught school
in the district in which the young lady
lives. During the time, he boarded with
married brother Of farmer HIS daughter, Of

great portion Of the time. He emphatical-
Iy denies the charge, and may yet assert
