THE reason why there are 29
days in February every leap-year is
this: There are only 365 days in the
twelve calender months, but the
earth is 365 IA days performing his
annual revolution around the sun;
therefore, it is a quarter of day
more than a year;in four years these
quarters make day and this day
is added to the end of February.

Albert P. Morehouse Takes the
Oath as Governor-Funeral
Arrangements.


The announcement of Gov. Mar
maduke's death last night was a
disagreeable surprise to his many
friends in this city. His death fol-
lowed so suddenly upon his taking
down that but few were aware of
his sickness and a still smaller
number had any correct idea of the
seriousness of his attack. The
Governor by reason of his friend
ship toward this city and his ex-
cellent and commendable admins
tration had endeared himself to the
people at the State capital as no
predecessor had ever done before,
and his death is lamented here by
all his political opponents as well
as his political friends, by the
children and young as well as by
the adult population.
LIEUT. GOV. MoREHoUsE
took the oath of Office as Governor
at 11:30 o'clock precisely to-day,
Judge Ray of the Supreme Court
administering the oath. The new
Governor at first was not disposed
to regard it necessary or"advisable
to take the oath inasmuch as he had
already taken the same oath upon
entering upon his duties as Lieu
tenant Governor, but after consult
ing with the other State officers
and his friend, W. w. Ramsey, of
Nodaway, and to remove all doubts
and questions that might arise by
refusing to do so, yielded to their
suggestion.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.
It was given out last night that
his remains would be inferred in
the old family burial grounds in
Saline County, but consultation of
his brothers and other members of
the Marmaduke family was had to-
day, and it was finally agreed to
bury the late Governor in the State
Cemetery in this city at 2:30 Satur-
day afternoon. The honorary pail
bearers will be ex-Governors Har-
din, Woodson, Fletcher, sCritten-
den, McClurg, Gov. Morehouse
and Supreme Court Judges Norton,
Ray, Sherwood, Black and Brace.
The active pall-bearers will be Hi
ram Ferrell, of Marshall; R.
NJ. White, of Mexico; Judge Waller
Young, of St. Joseph, w.

Lee and VIM. Baggot, st. Louis; E.

A CoMATosE CONDITION

His chamber is the southeast cor
ner room over the library. 1t is
quite a spacious bedroom and has
been occupied by the Governor
ever since he took possession ofthe
mansion. Governor Marmaduke
has always been very popular in
Jefferson City. Even the little
ragged urchins have been treated by
him with as much distinction as
the children of the most wealthy
and influential.

INTERESTING NOTES.

Gov. Marmaduke's father, Hon.
M. M. Marmaduke, was Governor
of Missouri forty-three years ago.
He was elected lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, and the tragic death of Gov.
Reynolds made him the executive.
The residents of Jefferson City
feel that they have lost powerful
friend in the death of the Governor.
His quiet and unpretentious official
life made him general favorite
with all classes of people.
The Governor never uttered a
complaint from the first hour OF
his sickness to the last. He was
never seriously i'll before.
Less than forty-eight hours from
the time Gov. Marmaduke was
forced to go to bed, he was a
corpse.
Four Governors of Missouri have
died in Office.

MURDER AND ARSON.
The Widow Of Brilliant Journalist
Accuses Herself of Serious
Crimes

The widow of the late Tom Kean, for
many years dramatic critic Of the Courier,
is in Jail at Buffalo, N. Y, charged with
arson esl,d murder. Kean who wrote Fritz
the Bohemian" for j. X Emmett, died on
his father-in-law's farm at La Sale last
spring. His wife was the daughter of rich
Butfalon'an named FL. NJ. Linb,rner. She,
like her husband was addict d to the use of
liquor, and also used morphine and choral.
She took his death with strange equanmity,
and as she was known to be- mentally un-
strung, it is considered poss: bility that she
poisoned him.
The house at La Sale WINS destroyed By fire
and the family barely escaped with their
lives. The father of Mrs. Kean recently
married beautiful woman of twenty and
brought her to La Sale. She had not been
in the house long before she WAS taken i'll.
She was recovering, when one night size was
taken violently worse aud died within an
hour.
Mrs. Kcan says that she fired tho house
and poisoned her youthful motlier-in law
For this she has been placed in Jail pcuding
an examination rs to her sanity. She has
been Tightly so long that there is no doubt
that she will be taken to an asylum Tho
body of Mrs. Linhurner will be examined
aud her stomach analysed.
Mrs. Kean has seven children, the oldest
fourteen and the youngest born since her
husbands death,

Poultry Ksep,r reitcratcs the annual
advice as to shipping eggs. 1t is all
proper, but we have this to say in rcla-
ton to tho whole matter, in the light oil
modern transportation. That is, ii
eggs 10 not hatch, when carried rca-
aonab!c distance, the fault probably lies
in lack OF vitality in the eggs, from i'm
paired luaction, if the receiver docs his
duty in tho setting. The advice, as to
shipping, is as follows;
Baskets arc the best. Lilac the bas-
kct with old paper of any kind. then
nut in the bottom an inch Of cut hay OF
chaff-press dowo, on thi, put wheat
bran, then set the eggs on end from
onc-ci nth to onc-iourth of an inch
apart, then put in moro Iran and press
carefully down, then hay again, and SO
on until your basket is iuil. Two lay
crs arc enough. Now put on plenty Of
cut hay; that is, round up the baslle!t
we'll with it. Then put over The top a
piece of cotton Goth; tie tho cloth
around the basket just III icr the rim
with good, strong twinc; stretch the
cloth down tight and sew til, cloth to
the string, taking ono inch stitches, and
you have package that will go safely
my distance.
