Jackson county, to the number of one
dozen-nearly half of them from town
held a mass convention at the Court
House, to select delegates to the State,
Judicial and Congressional Conventions
Some man by the name of Potter was
chosen as chairman, and tried to make a
little speech, but out of charity we will
say nothing about the speech, save that
he would pause occasionally for applause
but it was silent as the grave. There
was nobody there to applaud. By actual
count there were ele0e7l inside the bar as
delegates. One man remarked that he
would bet that there were more Demo
Gratis in Jail than there were in that con-
vention. And he was not far wrong,
either. Had it not been for the fact that
Mr.. Chapman, Mr.. Irvine DUNCAN, and
Mr.. G. David happened in, there would
have been no attention to anything like
form or order of business. 1t was per

Children md then Cutting Her
Own.
An insane mother cut the throats OF her
three children, aged respectively years, 3
years aud 4 months, In St. Louis Sunday morn
ing. She then cut her own throat and but for
prompt attention would have died In short
time. Two OF the children died instantly, but
tho third Will got we'll.
The tragedy occurred in O two-story brick
dwelling 1410 South Compton avenue, occu-
pied by Alexander Edmondson, his wife, Au-
gusta, aged 33, and their four children, Willie,
aged o; Emma, aged b; Cora, aged 3, and Au-
Rusta, aged months. The parents are ma
tives of Sweden, ana the wife is unusually
handsome, possessing the blonde hair aud blue
eyes Characteristic OF her race. The husband
is On engineer, and was employed In the Mis-
souri, Pacific machine shops, only short dis
tance from his home.
Two years ago the woman was seized with
fit OF insanity at the Union Depot and tried to
Kill herself and O number Of other persons.
Last night she was more than usually pleas
ant and gay. The family retired about IL D.
M, the husband and wife and the two young.
est children, Cora and Augusta, occupying q
bed in the back room. Emma slept In a cot In
the from, room, and the boy on the floor at the
about o'clock this morning the woman crept
stealthily out OF bod, and, picking up small
writing:desk that contained her husbands
razor, che carried 1t out In the kitchen and
forced open the lid. Taking a razor from the
desk she tiptoed back to tho bedroom, and,
reaching across her husbands sleeping body,
she drew the blade across tho throat OF tho four
monihs old baby. She then went to the foot OF
