death of Col. w. II. Davis at hi,
home in Dover township. Sunday

Davis came to the city to make
arrangements for the funeral of
his father. He stated that
his father was in Nevada last Thurs
day. He came home that night un-
der the influence of liquor and showed
that he had been drinking hard. He
went to bed and evidently took rome
morphine, as the bottle was sitting at
the head of the bed next morning.
He was in bed Friday most of the
day but Saturday he was able to sit
up. When the family arose yester-
day morning they found Col. Davis
in q stupor and were unable to arouse
him, and he died at 10 o'clock. The

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

Walter Kent was in the city this
morning.
He was here to attend the ceremony
making bis sister, Miss Lydia, the
wife OF Lieut.. Burr.
Walter was principally raised in
Sedalia, but he left here before he had
quite reached his majority.
He has always been known among
his friends as q very light hearted boy
given to glee.
Waller tells this joke on himself:
II was in Denver at the Knights
Templsr conc ave and called to zee
the family of Val Hamburg. who
knew me in boy hood days. As l was
met at the door by q young
lady, Miss Hamburg, che did not rec.
ogpize me. was invited into an
deliberately furnished parlor. Other
members Of the family came in and
they were Intercepted as to whom the
stranger was."
But none could solve the mystery
for some minutes, when, to relieve the
embarrassment, one said.
1T is Babe Mile"
Walter then gave the family his
identity and all laughed heartily.
Walter ard Babe were boys together
in Sedalia and are fast friends, and
either one is not ashamed Of being
taken for the other.
Walter is psymaster on the Mis-.
souri, Pacific railroad spd Babe occu-
pied a responsible position in Kan
sas City house.

WILL PLEAD GUILTY.
Train RObber Hedgepeth Decides
This is the Only Thing
to Do.

A dispatch from St. Joseph states
that Attorney r. A. Brown of that
CITY, who has had charge Of Train
Robber Hedgepeth's case ever since
the latter's arrest, said tonight that
Hedgepeth since his incarcrati. had
been swindled out Of sone $4,000 or
$1,000 which rightfully belonged to
him. and hence he is without money
to make a defense With any hope Of
acquittal. He has no friends who are
willing to advance money to his at
torneys under the circumstances, and
in the hope Of escaping a long sentence
that would surely be imposed DID he
stand trial, he has made up his mind
to p'ead guilty.
When Hedgepeth Informed Mr.
Brown OF his intentions several days
ago, the latter wrote the prisoner re-
guessing him to have bis wife make
out q new b nd at once, iniimating
that if such steTs were not taken
Immediately she would be delivered
up to the authorities. Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. Martin, the latter assistant
attorney, are on Mrs. Hedgepeth's
bond for $1,000. The attorneys felt
that they had nothing further to do
with the case when Hedgpeth made
up his mind to plead gully and
hence we're snxions to withdraw
from Mrs. Hedgepeth's bond.
Mrs. Hedgepeth has been at the
home Of her parents in st. Joseph for
several weeks but will 60 ST. Louis
to- morrow, where she hopes to be able
to give a new bond. Mr.. Brown said
that there was no doubt that Mrs.
Hedgepeth would be discharged just
rs soon rs her husbands case has been
disposed of. The officers do not be-
lieve that she is guilty of any wrong
doing further than that Of shielding
her husband and if he pleads guilty
che will be discharged.

What Shakespeare Might Have
Said.

To tske or not TO take that is the ques-
ton.
Whether tits better for man to suffer
The pangs and ,orments If 10 digestion,
Or something take, and, 10 its taking end
them.
Shakespeare didn't say that, but
very likely he would have said some
thing similar, If he were living in this
10Th century, when so many suffer
untold agonies from indigestion. OF
course he would have gone on to say
that . man must be a fool not to take
the "some,hing" which would put an
end to the "pangs of torment" spoken
of, if he could get it. Now it is .
fact that weakened, impoverished
blood brings on indigestion, which is
the cause Of dyspepsia, constipation
q poisoned condition Of the whole sys.
tem-and it is q fact, also, that DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
will 60 purify the blood and enrich it
that all the weakened organs are re-
vitalized and strengthened. It 10
guaranteed to do this. If it doesn't,
your money will be returned to you.
