MISSOURI STATE NEWS.
Killed His wife and Then Himself.


William Lowenstein and wife were
found dead at their home, one mile
west of Jasper City, Jasper county.
The coroner's jury found a verdict to
the effect that, after killing his wife,
Lowenstein committed suicide. Evi-
dences of a struggle were apparent,
! and the surmise is that the conflict
lasted some time, as she was hacked
| and bruised. He was known as most
eccentric, and was said to have been
madIy jealous of his wife, OF whom
he often talked about to neighbors.
Deceased was, in his younger days,
miner in the zinc mines of Germany.
He served in the civil war, and had
pension of $40. When he first located
in Jasper county, over thirty years
ago, he bought farm from lawyer
named Lon Cameron, who had no title
to it, and, to keep it, the old man had
to work and pay for it again. He was
quite wealthy.
State Board of Fund Commissioners.
A meeting of the state board of fund
commissioners was held in Jefferson
City. The bonds redeemed during the
year, amounting to $S5S,000, and the
coupons paid during the year, were
checked up and filed away, to be de-
stroyed by the auditing committee.
The board also examined the account
transfer of funds from the school and
seminary funds. A check was ordered
drawn in the sum of 5000, to meet
the semi-annual interest on the state
bonded indebtedness, due January 1,
1899. Early in next year the board
will issue call for the redemption of
s75O,OOO of the bonded indebtedness.
There Were Others.
Several weeks ago Miss Louise Ru-
gan, of Sedalia, a pretty girl of 10,
was to have been married to Robert
J. Brown, an insurance solicitor, but
he fled from the city the night the
ceremony was to take place, and the
wedding was declared off, the minister
and guests departing without the we'd
ding supper being touched. The other
night Miss Rugan was married to
Archie Golquitt, young business man
of ST. Joseph, who was her suitor be-
fore she became acquainted with
Grown.
Declared Menace to Health.
The official report of Prof. Phillips,
consulting engineer of the Missouri
state board of health, on the Chicago
canal, declares it to be n menace to
health. Prof. Phillips also finds that
the state is confronted with a serious
problem in regard to its water supply,
for other reasons.

Joint HIGH COMMISSION.
Prospects for Successful Issue Much
More Favorable than They were
Just Before Adjournment.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The next ses-
sion of the joint Canadian high COM
mission will be limited pretty closely
to fortnight. Lord Herschell, the
British member of the commission, is
booked to sail for Europe on January
25. He can not delay longer in the
United States, for the reason that he
is obliged to attend the opening of the
Paris arbitration on the Venezuelan
boundary, being one of the arbitrators.
There are indications that after all
the commissioners regard the pros
poets of reaching an agreement as very
much brighter than they did just be-
fore the adjournment of the session,
and the opinion is now expressed in
well-informed circles that before Lord
Herschell's departure treaty will
have been completed. settling all the
points in dispute between the two
countries, and even making some
slight progress towards the attainment
of reciDrOcity
