ST. LOUIS PIONEER DEAD.
st. Louis, Mo-, July 9.-Mrs. Maffit,
a pioneer of st. Louis, and the richest
woman in the city, is dead at her home,
aged 81.
Mrs. Maffit's grandfather, Pierre
Chouteau, was one of the original
members of the American Fur COM
pany, and from 1889 to 1904 passed his
time in the western woods trading with
the Indians. His company prospered
so rapidly from his perilous work that
he retired wealthy in 1904 and accepted
an appointment from president as the
agent for all the Indians west of the
Mississippi river.
The Chouteau family was the most
prominent of all the early French set
tiers in Missouri and the name forms
no inconsiderable part in the history
of the west as well as st. Louis and
the state.
Funeral arrangements have not been
completed.

SUDDEN DISAPPEARANCE.

Boston, Mass, July 9.-The Herald
says that pretty Grace Stevenson, aged
%, left her home in BrookIine on the
evening of April 26 to go on a short
errand and she has never returned. A
search throughout the city and vicin-
ity, an examination of steamship lists
and inquiries directed to all points
reached by railroads from Boston,
failed to reveal the slightest inkling
of her whereabouts. She is the dau-
ghter of Mr.. James Stevenson, the mil
lionaire real estate operator and owner,
of this city, and she lived with her
mother at 1,47S Beacon street, Brook

tan Endeavor westbound movement
is practically over. During the period
from July to Z, the Rio Grande West
ern road haudled II trains, carrying
II ,232 passengers from Rio Grande
Junction to Ogden. The greater per-
centage of these passengers stopped
over in Salt Lake City, thus requiring
a second movement, or the handling of
a total of nearly $4,000 passengers.
This was accomplished without acct
dent or serious delay.

WILL BE MoRGAN'S.

The Big New York Railroad Magnate
Will Get the Lehigh Valley Road.
New York, July 9.-The Journal says:
p. Pierpont Morgan will presently
assume the control of the Lehigh VAL
ley railroad.
Recently when the Lehigh Valley
was in difficulty, Philadelphia capital
mostly came to its aid, the large Pack
er estate shuuldering most of the re-
sponsibility. The estate; in it's turn,
became involved in way, and Mr..
Morgan, representing the numerous
English stockholders, obtained an OPP
ton on all the Packer holdings. This
has given him absolute control of the
road.
1t is known that so far advanced are
his plans that he has determined to
substitute either Edwin NJ. Winter, the
former president of the Northern Pa
cific, whom Mr.. Morgan elevated to
that position, or else DR.. w. Seward
Webb, the second vice president of the
New York Central, who is son-in-law
of the late William H. Vanderbilt, as
pldCC VI NIL " lpul.
1t is presumed that it is the plan of
Mr.. Morgan to make the roads in
which he is interested with the Wander
bits practically control all traffic to
the west, except that which can never
be taken away from the Pennsylvania.
The acquisition of the Lehigh, together
with the Reading, would give them a
very large hold on the coal fields and
would also give them absolute control
Of the region about the st. Lawrence.
Already the contract has establish
ed a line of steamers running three
times a week from Clayton to Montreal
and it is known that Mr.. Webb and the
CentraTs general passenger agent, J
George F. Daniels, have been for some |
time buying up real estate along the |
st. Lawrence. The control of the Lee
high Valley would do away with the |
rivalry which the Central now exper-
ences in the summer traffic to the |
Thousand isles district.

SHOULD BE HEMPED.

Hepler, Ohio, July 9.-News has
reached here of the killing of $50 head
of sheep belonging to Mrs. Kate WEIGH
on Canyon Creek, about fifteen miles
from Canyon City. Six men wearing
masks first went to the camp, and COW
ering the herder and camp tender with
their rifles, ordered them to give up
their guns, which they did at once.
They brought the rifles of the camp to
bear on the herd and after shooting
the loads out of the herders guns,
handed them back. They then emp
tied their own guns into the sheep
killing $50 of them. Serious trouble is
anticipated.

New York, July 9.-The World says:
The most important conference of
the free silver Democrats of this state
held since last election, has Just oc-
Cured in this city. Nearly every coun-
ty in the state was represented. AL
though no positive action was taken,
the general sentiment of the gather
ing was in favor Of holding a state
convention to reaffirm the Chicago
platform and nominate a. supporter of
Bryan for chief of the Court of Appeals
in case the regular Democratic state
convention should select a a gold stand
ard Democrat for the place and ignore
the principles enunciated by the Ma
tional convention.
There were some differences of opin-
ion among those present regarding the
advisability of boiling the nominee of
the state committee IL the committee
should refuse to reaffirm the Chicago
platform. There was, however,
unanimity of sentiment in favor of pe-
titioning the committee through mass
meetings, clubs and committees to
nominate a Bryan man for judge on
the BBryan platform.
The silverites appeared to mean bus
mess Former Congressman Hosea H.
Rockwell, of the Elmira district, who
was permanent chairman of the Buff
falo state convention last year. took
a prominent part in the convention.
Jay w. Forrest, of Albany, said that
since the last presidential election a
free silver club had been formed in ev-
Grey election district in Albany coun-
ty. He also said the free silver Dem
ocrats of his county would probably
favor the holding of a state convention

ate a sound money Democrat for Judge
Of the Court of Appeals and ignore

campaign.
