Then the people Of Jefferson City

worked like beavers and finally de-

L. e. Houk, representative in con-
gress from the Second Tennessee dis
trict, died yesterday. The preceding
afternoon he went to a drug store
near his residence to get a prescription
put up. The druggist compounded it
for him and set it down IN glass
near another containing strong solu-
ton of arsenic, which Judge Houk
took by mistake. Antidotes were
given promptly, and by 10 o'clock at
night be was 50 well that nothing was
said about the circumstance except to
q few friends. He slept through the
night and died suddenly next morn

the cause of his death.

Jerry Simpsons sun has set
Not to rise again, you bet"
SO some Kansas grangers say
Since that Cincinnati day
When the Peoples party first
Into sudden beisg burst
Uncle Jerry, 20 il seems.
Full of masy cunning schemes,
Curled his Kansas lip in scorn
When the burly babe was born
Which Ignstius Donnelly
Swore BY all the gods should be.
Then some Kansas people said,,
Eyes, the sockless ststeman's dead,
For ~e'll never ever fight
All the day and hslf the night
As Ne have done Oft Of yore
To place Jerry At the fore"
But the maker Of these rhymes,
With little sense betimes,
Wants to put in print right here,
That in some not distant year,
Jerry will rise up again.
YOnder on some Kansas plain
And With silk socks on his feet,
See these cranks in full retreat.

MISSING FROM HOME.

Another girl is missing and her
strange disappearance is not unlike
that Of Miss Julia McMichael, who
disappeared from St. Louis recently
and who has been found in Chicago.
How like the solution of that mystery
the explanation of this will be, no one
can tell. More than a week ago Miss
Eva Marshall, the daug liter of q
wealthy mine owner at Bevier, NO.,
left her home to visit friends at
Brunswick, Mo. When she had oeen
absent about a week her father learn
ed that che was not with the friends
she was supposed to have visited and
he at once set out for
Brunswick to learn what had be-
come of her. On arriving there
he found that she bad not visited her
friends at all and they knew nothing
of her whereabouts. He then started
on a search in the towns surrounding
and went to Moberly. He gave the
depot policeman there a description
of her and from that description she
was recognized. The policeman re-
membered that she had left Moberly
on the Wabash. Mr.. Marshall
waited for the arrival of The train and
inquired of the conductor whether he
remembered having a passenger ans
wering the description OF his daughter.
The conductor said that he did
and that this young lady had
told him that st. Louis was
her home and she lived on Olive
street. Mr.. Marshall went at once to
St. Louis and reached there Saturday
morning. Since his arrival he has
been searching everywhere for his
daughter but up to the present time
he has been unable to find her. So
far as can be learned he has found no
clue which would lead To the discov-
cry of her hiding place. No reason
whatever is assigned for Miss Mar
shalPs leaving home and her disap-
pearance is as complete mystery as
one can well imagine.

FLOWERS are cheap. plentiful and

GoseiPer yesterday, and there is no
reason why the humblest family in
Sedalia should not have a boquet or

FLOWERS are lavishly used by the

THREE HUNDRED MILLIONS.
That is What the Edwards Is.
tate is Valued at and the Heirs
are Trying to Secure.

Mr.. j. r. Wallace Of Smirhton wa
in the city to-day. Mr.. Wallace ha
just returned from Louisville where
he went last week to a called meeting
Of the Edwards heirs who are claim
ants to an estate in the heart Of New
York roughly estimated at $500, 0O0,.
600. The ground of their claim is
that Robert Edwards owned the
property during revolutionary war
times. The land was then cultivated
as farm, and embraced 35 acres.
Now it takes in that part Of New
York City extending from Trinity
church to the Battery, including
both sides of Broadway and crossing
Wall street.
Before going to Scotland, r bert
Edwards who was a bachelor, leased
his property for a term of ninety-nine
years. He died in his native land.
Four brothers whom he left in this
country settled in Virginia. They
were James, William, Uriah and
John and it is their defendants who
are claiming the estate.
The lease on the property expired
about twenty years ago and since that
time it has been sold aud resold and |
improved to great extent. There
have been previous efforts to establish |
the claims of the heirs but they we're
not sufficiently clear. Mr.. j. H. Hum
phreys, Of Kansas City, has been
working on the case for SINE time
and has at last discovered what to the
heirs seems conclusive evidence and
to consider this was what the meeting
in Louisville was called for. He
has found the original lease and
although he is not an heir, he is
working in the hope of large reward
which he will no doubt get if he
should succeed in establishing the
claim. There are about 800 heirs, or
alleged heirs, known at this time and
it is thought that before the suit is
brought, there will be fully 1000
Mr.. Wallace, of Smithton, is an heir
through his wife's mother, who was
an Edwards and member of one of {
the Virginia families. Mr.. Wallace
has been appointed as a member of
the committee for this part of the
state to hear the claims of any who :
1eem themselves related to the de-
ceased and will report the same to the
meeting to be held in Louisville IN
December next Tn the meantime
the claims will be placed in the hands
of prominent attorneys and they will
decide at that time about the bring q
ing OF the suit.
