time been gathering data and talking
with the old residents and in few weeks
will publish this valuable volume to Kan

A POLITICIANS BAD END.
Missouri State Senator is Killed by
His Mistress,

His Mistress
ST.. LOUIS, May 13.-State Senator
Peter 4 Morrissey was shot and in
stantly killed at $3.50 this morning by
Maud Lewis, his mistress. The tragedy
was enacted in her room on the second
floor at 2719 Wash street Morrissey
went to the house at very late hour and
had retired when the crime was COM
mitted.
The woman is supposed to have been
insane at the time. The first informa-
ton the neighbors had of the tragedy
was from the wOman's screams. They
ran in and found her in frenzy of grief
aud terror, bowling over the body and
calling on "Pete" to come back.
Two shots were fired, one entering the
mouth and the other penetrating the
brain through the left eye. Death was
instantaneous
The deceased was a member of the Mis-
souri, state senate, elected by the Demo
Gratis. His business was that OF a saloon
and lodging house keeper.
MOrrissey was notorious as a crooked
worker at the polls. Ten years ago he
was convicted for ballot box stuffing, but
the influence of the leaders of the party
kept him out of the penitentiary.

COMING WOMAN HAS COME.
She Appears in New York and Looks Like

She Appears in New York and Looks Like
the Pictures.
NEW YORK, May 13-The coming
woman" so styled by an observing
brakeman, reached this city by way of
the Brooklyn bridge.
The effulgence of her glory attracted
the attention of every one on the bridge
train. Her hair was drawn tightly over
her head and was hidden in a light
brown derby of the latest style. She
wore high clerical collar, about which
was light brown scarf. Her immacu-
late shirt front bore a diamond stud. A
low-cut cream colored vest with pearl
buttons was Joy to behold. Her coat
was of gray cloth, cut dove tail, and
reached her knees.
Her skirt was of brown Scotch plaid
with checks about two inches square
She seated herself at the forward end of
the first car, after travelling the whole
length of the train, and crossed her
ankles. In doing so she disclosed pair
of patent leather bluchers with brown
tops.
Then she coolly surveyed the passen-
gers, who had not taken their eyes off
her since she stood before them, through
a monocle. She was many degrees cool
er than the weather, and appeared to en-
Joy the situation fully as much as those
who commented on her appearance. All
made way for her as she rose to leave
the car. She was the first out and swung
across the pl atform to the City Hall park
with an Owe come" air that caused her
to be followed by admiring newsboys.
She looked over the heads of passers as
she disappeared from the reporters
