Jubilee over the final
Adjournment.

Jefferson City, March, 24.-tSpec-
ial. 1.-The c'osing day of the thirty
sixth General Assembly has been a
day of cOmmotion and excitement,
also of many resolutions and general
shirking of anything like order. Par.
ticularly has this been the case in the
house. The senate which has done
good work throughout the ses ion is a
much more dignifed body, transacted
considerable routine business, but the
chief object of the session was simply to
witness the signing of bills. To
while away the time Representative
Lane of st. Louis county, amused
the house with recitation and sew

ance, who ought to have shown a
more sedate spirit threw spit balls
and otherwise entered into the general
rejoicing over the adjournment. The
clocks were turned and "lights out"
was not sounded until after l O'Clock
last night. All are weary of Jefier-
son City bash houses and even the
most bitter partisan of this place as
the proper location for the capital are
openly admitting that the enforced
stay here has changei their minds in
favor of Sedalia.

MIR. Hall did not desire the nomina-

convention would not allow him to
decline and insisted so earnestly on
his acceptance that he finally con-
sented to make the race.
MIR. Hall is an old resident of Sc.

in fact, and he has legions of friends
here who will rejoice to hear of his
nomination and who will, regardless
of politics, wish to see him elected.
He was treasurer of Pettis county

Tragic Ending of Twenty Years
of Illicit Love.

Des Moines, Ia, March "a. r. s.
HattOn, cashier of the Central Loan
and Trust association, and brother oil
Thos. Hatton, the well known rea
estate agent of this city, was TO- d
dead in his apartments at room 3,
Oriel block, at 8 O'Clock yesterday
morning. He was clad in his night
shirt and was ly ing in bed partially
H gg the ffs9Gysrs, while nearly across
bosom, was the dead body of an IN.
known woman. She was PARTIAL
disrobed, and her outer apparel was a
loose wrapper. Her corset and
night dress hung across the foot of the
bed, while her cloak and hat and rich
gown of black silk hung in the ward
robe with Mr.. Hatton's wearing ap-
parel. Upon the floor was small
travelling bag contsii ing a perfume
bottle and several toilet articles,
a portmoDie containing a rail-
road ticket from Des Moines to
st. Soc, a small amount of money and
a tell-ta!e paper in the form of re-
ceipt for money paid, which showed
that the dead woman was Mrs. A. j.
Russell of st. Joseph, Mo. After
this was learned it did not take long
to scertain that she was the mother
of the ticket agent of the Chicago, St.
Paul and Kansas City road at that
point and the mystery of the dead
stranger was cleared up. She was
woman probably 40 years of age, not
handsome, but of voluptuous form
and well preserved. Her foot, encased
in shining silk hose, was dainty, and
there was about her appearance and
dress degree of refinement that con-
trasted strongly with the circum-
Stances of her death.
1t was clear that death had come
from asphyxiation. The bathroom
the sleeping-room was heated
by a gas jet and the combustion being
the unconsumed gas es-
capped into the room. The burner was
still ignited when the dead people were
discovered, and the interior of the
apartments were drippings with steam
which had risen from the boiling
water in the bath.
Mr.. Hatton had not been seen since
Saturday, so that there is no question
but that death occurred some time
night. Upon the dresser in
the room were three bottles CT liquor,
two Of which were partially empty.
The reasonable supposition is that the
parties had been drinking until they
became under the influence of liquor
and were then overcome and stupefed
by the escaping gas.
There isa romantic phase to this
tragic event. Mr.. Hatton was a
bachelor. Twenty years ago he
courted and won the heart of the
woman found dead by his side to-day.
Something occurred to break the en-
gagment, and she became Mrs. Rus
sell, but her heart was still Hatton's,
