CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

At the ensuing election a constitu-
tional amendment will be submitted
to the voters of Missouri, the provis-
ions of which but few understand. 1t
is intended to enable cities having Or
gained fire departments to provide
funds for the relief of disabled fire.
men or the helpless widows and child
rem in case of death. The measure
met with the unanimous approval of
the Legislature.
The amendment does not authorize
an increase of taxation and it can only
be made to apply to cities having an
organized fire department. As mat
ters now stand, the cities have no au-
thority to preserve funds for the re-
lief Of disabled firemen or the helpless
families of firemen who are killed in
the discharge of their duties. Many
of the cities are anxious to provide
such funds, and to enable them to do
60 the legislature submitted the amend
ment referred to. In no respect can
this amendment be made to apply to
affect people living outside Of such
cities, consequently the country voters
can give it their support, knowing full
well that, while it does not affect them,
yet its adoption will enable the cities
to provide for a worthy class Of men
who are ever ready to risk life and
limb to save other peoples property.
The amendment will not meet with
any opposition in the cities to be af-
fected, and it will only be defeated in
the event that the people do not un-
derstand its meaning and construe it
to mean an additional tax cleverly

does not indulge in the wholesale abuse
of Missouri and Missourians with
which he inaugurated the campaign.
He has learned lesson, but the ex-

There is not a democrat ON the
County ticket who deserves the solid
support of every democrat in Pettis
county more than w. ID. Steele. In
season and out of season, in success
and in defeat, during elections and be-
tween elections, and at all other times,
he has ever been a true, faithful, de-
voted, working, never-Aagging demo-
crat, who never tired of working for
the grand old party, and each and
every man on its ticket. For thirteen
years he has been wheelhoree in the
democratic party Of Pettis county, and
in all that time he has never scratched
a nominee. Not only that, he has
ever contributed most literally Of his
time, labor and money to democratic
success. There has not been . harder
worker in the county for the party than
he has been. He deserves every dem
ocratic vote in Pettis county on Nov.
8, and he should have them. See
that he gets them. A better or truer
democrat was never voted for in Pettis
county.

A MATTER OF SELF.INTEREsr

1t cannot be too often urged upon
the property owners Of this city that
in the selection Of at least one public
officer at the election every considera-
ton Of selfinterest demands that
party politics be discarded and laid
aside. This office is that of
State Senator for which a Sedalian
is candidate, in the person of Mr..
Charles E. Yeater, against a resi-
dent of another county. In the selec-
ton of our next Senator the success of
our fellow tOwnsman is of the same
importance alike to the owner of a
three or five story business building
on Ohio street and to the owner of u
little cottage. The elevation to q
place of influence in the Senate of one
of our citizens is one step, towards
securing State Fair or some state
institution, which will favorable effect
our prosperity, increase population
and raise property values. 1t seems
strange that in the past few years
this growing and important city with
its peculiar advantages should have
been overlooked by the state, and the
Reform School located to the north at
BoOnville and the asylum to the south
at Nevada. We should take the pains,
now that the favorable opportunity
presents itself, to send by a large vote
one long resident of our city and
identified with all its interests in every
respect. No question Of politics is
involved in the election of Mr.. Yea
ter over a stranger from another
county. As senator he cannot cast q
vote upon the tariff question or
any of the political issues upon
which the two great parties differ.
He will go to Jefferson City to
vote upon the school law. the road
law, the revenue law, and such other
kindred legislation. But We of Soda
liza particularly wish him to 60 to the
capital as her champion prepared to
wage her battles and urge her claims
upon the floor of the Senate. Hav-
ing spent his life time in this commu-
nifty, it is known that he has the for
ensich ability, the gifts Of a publica
speaker, the aggressive qualities and
the indomitable energy necessary to
make a good fight in our behalf. We
should see to it as a matter Of self.in-
terest and of reciprocal fairness that
he receives heavy vote at home.
Let the endorsement that Sedalia
gives to a Sedalian as q candidate for
senator be seen and known through
out the state, and let the people there
by be advised that we still stand up
for Sedalia and expect her to become
the capital of Missouri,

SUICIDE OF A MURDERER.
Charles G. Price, Of Butte, Prefers
Death to Imprisonment

BUTTE. Mont, Sept. 1l.-[Special "A
double tragedy was consummated today
by the suicide of Charles G. Price in Jail
yesterday. He was convicted of murder
in the second degree and recommended to
the lightest penalty, which, in this state,
is ten years. Last night afterthe verdict
of the jury was read. while on his way
back to the cell, he said he
never would 60 to the penitentiary.
Early this morning Price was found
nearly dead, having taken morphine.
Medical aid could not save him and he
died at 10 o'clock. Price left two letters.
one to the sheriff and the other to his
wife. In the former he explained how he
secured the poison. A month ago it was
prescribed for prisoner in Jail, a NOR
phine fiend, and Price stole it. The letter
to his wife reveals nothing new about the
crime. He only expresses love and ap-
peals to her to care for their child and
never let it know how its father met his
death.
q [The crime of which c. J. Price was convicted
was the murder by shooting of his uncle, T. j.
Cunningham, a well known mining speculator
on the streets of Butte, Mont, on the evening
of December 49, 1891 The city was enveloped
in a dense mountain fog at the time, aud

not more two witnesses of the shooting The

about Wards matrimonial intentions, all
Mrs. Scott would say was:
'Pshaw! Did ne tell that?''
Inc divorce was granted on August 81.
On September Ward, returning from his
Seattle debauch, made another reauisition
upon Mrs. Scott for $1,000 Having read
his love letters, and considering his
actions, Mrs. Scott refused to advance HIM

great importance and much means.
Mrs. Ward was seen at 1918 G street.
She SAID the last she heard of Ward he
was on big spree at Seattle. She has not
consciously suffered by Wards supposed
hypnotic powers. Most of the love letters
referred to Ward took from Mrs. Scott.
She, however. has several, and she saws
she supposes he had lots of fun with the
girls that thought so much of him. Even
Mrs. Scott herself does not seem to hate
Ward. She still hopes he will return and
secure the half interest in the coal mine.
When she refused to advance him more
money he went away displeased, and Mrs.
Scott has not seen him since.
Another peculiar feature of Mrs. Scott's
experience with Ward was the appearance
at her house of middle-aged woman
a hn ny Tod 20 1oo
asked Mrs. Scott to engage her as a cook.
ara did not see this woman, but upon
Mrs. Scott's statement regarding her. said
she must be crazy. Later, when Ward
left, ostensibly to look after large mining
interests in Colorado. this same woman
returned and asked for Ward Mrs. Scott
said he had gone away. The woman
insisted on seeing him, only for a
moment, however, and pushed past Mrs.
Scott and searched every room in the
house. Mrs. Scott demanded to know
why she should search her house. The
woman replied that she had a right to
look for her husband. She said her name
was Mrs. Hill. Mrs. Scott decided to GO
with her and learn ali about the man
Ward. She locked the stanger inside the
front door and went for her shawl, but the
woman escaped by the rear door, Mrs.
Scott followed. Mrs. Hill lodged about
corners and through alleys, and finally
was run down in a iavatory. She locked
herself in, but Mrs. Scott says she warned
her that she would stay outside for week
if it was necessary to make her come out
of hiding. Mrs. Hill eventually came out,
but later escaped, leaving Mrs. Scott none
the wiser. This woman was younger than
Mrs. Ward and was not Wards lawful
wife.
Mrs. Scott has gray hair. pleasant blue
eyes, and has two sons here and one at
Seattle. There is much speculation as to
Wards true character.
