MISSOURI A 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. Evil
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
madly jealous of his wife, of whom
he often talked about to neighbors.
Deceased was, in his younger days, a
miner in the zinc mines of Germany.
He served in the civil war. and had a
pension of $40. When he first located
in Jasper county, I'VE thirty years
ago, he bought a farm from a 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.

Il should have thought that the
Dreyfus affair had already done the
country enough harm. NJ. Fournier's
new proposal would be most perni-
cious. The country wants and has a
devoted army to safeguard her indie
pendence, and we do not wish to give
its officers the means of descending
to the forum. We must rally around
the army"
