"Do you think 1t possible to abolish

Missouri has had good government

There is nothing to Justify the bitter
wal now going on within the demo

for the governorship. The INTELLI-
GENCER has never been a purveyor Of
the scandalous personal charges which
have been made in this campaign,
but il has been unfriendly to the

O'Clock when he left the store and
went upstairs, leaving his wife and
the salesman conversing. Within a
few minutes after he had left. shot
was heard in the upper story. Mrs.
Mclntire ran up the steps, and in an
instant screamed for help. Her hus-
band was lying on the floor with
blood streaming from a wound in his
breast. McIntire was conscious up
to within few minutes of his death,
which occurred at $50 this evening,
When asked why he shot himself he
said that be did not know,
Although McIntire had been des-
pondent for several days it is not
thought that he was in any financial
trouble. He came here from Prince

chased the drug store of E. T. Nc
