Poisoned by strychnine.

Mrs. Frazier, wife of a Missouri
Pacific fireman, was poisoned by
strychnine last night and thrown into
convulsiors, and the timely arrival of
DIR. Ed. G. Evans was all that saved
her life.
She visited a drug store and pur.
chased the poison for rats. and calomel
capsules for herself. Returning home.
she spread the stryehnioe on several
pieces of bread aud placed them where
the rodents could eat their ELL. Then,
without washing her hands, to which,
no doubt. a small portion of the poison
had adhered, she swallowed a
capsule. A little later she was taken
violently i'll, and on DR.. Evans being
summoned he stated that there was
no question but that she was the vic
tim of strychnine poisoning. The
usual antidotes were administered and
her life was saved.

FOREMOST In THE FUTURE,

Sedalia is paid the following com
p!iment by the Worlds Fair Advocate,
published in Chicago:

are intended to make life in this city

the term.
"The sight is beautiful. The trav-
eler is charmed by his vision of her
lofty structures of architecture, and
the enthusiasm of the speculator gains
impetus when he learns of her real
estate increases. Property is advanc-
ing steadily, AMI there is no reason
why this city will not rank among the

In this year of short crops, Missouri
is favored above all her sister COM
monwealths, and this, together with
the coming era of business revival,
will place the people of this state far
out on the road to prosperity. Wheat
was good and was harvested in excel.
lent condition, and the quality is SUI
perior. The hay crop was abundant
and saved without damage. Through
out all the grass growing regions OF
North Missouri the hsystacks and hay
ricks literally cover the meadows. As
to the corn crop, a much greater than
an average erea was planted, and the
local rains in July and the more gen.
eral ones 10 August insure a bOunti-
full supply. The corn is green from
the ground to the tassel and the ears
have pitched of from the stalks nicely.
An abundant crop is now an absolute
certainty.

Gardener Clements tells of a good
way for the inexperienced individual
to tell muskmelon from canteloupe.
He says:
"The former usually has nine ridges
and these are separated by narrow
strips of smooth skin. Look at the
latter. If they are green the melon
is unripe. IF they are greenish vel
low and the rough skin on the edges
is brownish gray the melon is all right.
If it is quite ripe all over it is over
ripe. fit has no odor it is fit for the
cattle and you don't want it. The
stronger the musk odor the better. II
should be smelled at the far end OF
the end opposite the stalk. In water
melons. good one when pressed neal
the center should yield and the linden
ton should disappear when the finger
is removed. If no indent can be
made, the melon is green. If it re
mains, it is overripe."

A LITTLE CHILD KILLED
A Heavy Window Frame Falls
Upon Myra Tewmey, Crush
ing Her Skull.

One of the saddest accidents the
BAzoo has ever been called upon to
chronicle occurred about $50 o'clock
last evening in the alley bounded by
Third ami Fourth and Ohio and
Usage streets, whereby little Myra
Tewmey, the pretty little 5-year-old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. w. T..
Tewmey, lost her life.
Toe child, in company with a little
son of David Pstten, was playing up
on large window frame taken from
the old Ohio street NJ. E. church
building, and which, with other lum-
Der, had been stored in the alley.
The weight of the children caused
the frame to topple over, when the
Pstten lad jumped and escaped harm.
Little Myra, however, was struck on
the right side of the head by the
heavy timber and her skull crushed,
death resulting instantly.
The cries of the Patten child at
tracted attention. when help quickly
responded, and the timber was re-
moved from the PROSTATE form of
little Myra. only to learn that death
had resulted.
The body was carried into the fam
lily residence, only few yards distant,
and the scene that followed brought
tears to the eyes of all who witnessed
it. Little Myra was an only child.
and was the idol of her parents, who
will have the sympathy of the entire
community in their deep affiiction.
Coroner Overstreet viewed the
body, and on learning all the facts in
the case decided that an inquest was
unnecessary.
The funeral will take place Satur-
day, but the hour has not vet been
fixed. as it is not yet known exactly
when relatives from a distance will
arrive. Due announcement will be
made, however. 10 tomorrow even

The Dairy Prizes

The dairy prizes offered by the
American short horn breeders, associa'
ton for the best short horn producers Of
milk and butter, at the Missouri State
fair, was awarded to S. Spence q
Son. of Kaiton, N. Y, they securing
both first and second premiums. The
awarding of the premiums wss pro.
tested on the grounds that the pri re.
winners were not short horns, or at
best POOR grade, with a mixture of
Jersey, HOlstein, short horn and
mongrel. The protest is likely to
hold good, in which case Mr.. III. b.
Scott will probably secure the first and
second prizes, of 500 and $50 re-
spectively.

A MAD ENGINE.
1t P1unges Into a Turn.T able
Pit, and Knocks Down q
Section of The Round
House.

The NJ, K. & T. locomotive, No.
1917, was handsomely decorated, last
evening, preparatory to hauling the
special "barb wire" train southward.
Just after the last flag had been
placed in position and the streamers
gaily adjusted the engine took sud-
den notion to take spin by itself and
starting out of the round house plung-
ed into an engine on the turn-table,
and then went crashing into the pit
below. The wreckiDg crew was sent
for and, with the assistance of two 10
comotives. the monster was finally
lacked up on an improvised track and
ran back into the round house. In
the collision 1878 pilot was knocked
into "smithereens" and another one
was substituted. The decorations
were badly awry and covered with
smut, oil and ashes, but they were re.
arranged and busted off as well as pos
sible. When this work was &C
complished it was noticed
that the pilot of the engine extended
over the turn table and hostler went
into the cab to run it back few feet.
The engine was evidently red hot.

cause it did not get away and have a
jolly time all alone and although it
obeyed the lever and moved slowly
backwards, it refused to sop when it
reached its proper position. The
hos.ler tried to reverse" but the en-
CINE wouIdent have it that way and
with bound it drove the tender
through the brick wall tearing down
a whole section of the round house.
There was a shower of brick and
mortar and scattering Of the round
house help. This catastrophe put 1917
in good humor and, like conquered
elephant, it cheerfully obeyed the
hand of the hostler and was brought
back into the round house. 1t was
again busted off and frightened up,
and although little bruised up, here
and there, it was still in the ring this
morning, and took the special out on

ELIAS ERROR.
Her Love Was of That Kind That
Will Make Her a Mother,
But Not q Wife.

Ella Flynn, q fair daughter Of
Eve, from an African standpoint, wal
among Justice Blair's callers this
morning.
Ella was bowed down with grief,
and as she uDfolded her tale to the
venerable justice, his heart went out
to her in deep republican sympathy.
Ella wanted a warrant for the ar.
rest of Taylor Williams, who is also
off color. He had seduced her, she
stated, under promise of marriage,
and casual glance at her person was
sufficient to show that the result OF
her indiscretion would result in a In.
crease of the census at no distant day.
Questioned as to her age, Ella
stated that she was 20 years old, two
years beyond her majority. This was
a denouement that Judge Blair
had not anticipated, so he informed
the young lady that he was powerless
to assist her in the premises. Had she
been under Is, she could have prose-
cuted Williams for seduction, but
now her only redress will be a suit
for breach of promise.
Ella listened to the dicision, and
then bidding Judge Blair good bye,
took her departure, with the intention
OF seeing if County Attorney LOngan
could afford her any consolation.
The latter named gentleman de-
clined to take any action in the prem
Uses, owing to the fact that Ella has
attained her majority, SO the contem-
plated criminal prosecution was
dropped.
Williams is only IL year., old, is it
said. He is anxious to marry his VIC
tim, but his father will not consent to
a license being issued, and unless the
old gentleman changes his mind there
is no probability Of the marriage cere-
mony being performed.
