NIEDRINGHAUS
NOMINATED
The State Chairman to he
United States Senator.

Thomas K. Niedringhaus, of St.
Louis, the man who conducted the
campaign that took Missouri out of
the "solid South" was nominated for
United States senator on the fifth bal
lot in the republican joint caucus at
Jefferson City Thursday night. Me.
dringhaus had led on every ballot,
but when the roll call of the fifth had
been finished he still lacked seven
votes. Before the result was announ-
ced Representative Newton changed
to Niedringhaus and the Parker for
ces went to pieces. Newton had
nominated Parker and his change
was taken as signal that the Parker
men were going to Niedringhaus in a
body. They did it in wild rush
that took part of Warmers forces with
it. The announcement of the vote
before the nomination was declared
unanimous was Niedringhaus 81, to
20 for Kerens.
Mr.. Niedringhaus' nomination is
in hearty accord with fully 80 per
cent. of the republicans of Linn coun-
ty. and they are rejoicing today.
In the organization of the house on
Wednesday, DIR. Pettijohn, of Linn
county, Kerens supporter, was de-
feated for speaker by D. w. Hill, of
Poplar Bluff, by vote of 48 to 81.

Messrs Etna, Rockwell and Frank
Woolly, all of Oklahoma City, E. T.
Brott and Mrs. Willis Brott and Mrs.
Bert Brott, of Brookfeld, were guests
Of Mrs. A. j. Caywood on Friday of
last week.
D. T. Edwards and wife, of Marce-
line, Mrs. E. B. McQuillen and daugh-
ter, Of Burlington, Iowa, and Fl. G.
Edwards, of Prosser, Neb., were guests
of County Clerk Edwards and family
in this city during the holidays
Bulletin.
Undertaken P. F. Felt was called
to Cameron Wednesday to take charge
of the remains Of Geo. w. Christie,
who died at his home there Tuesday
night. Mr.. Christie had been a suf-
ferer for some time from cancer which
caused his death.
H. G. Edwards, of Prosser, Neb.,
was here this week visiting relatives
and friends and made The BLADE a
pleasant call and left couple of dol
lars on subscription. Henry is now
a full-fedged farmer and delights in
telling about his big crops and fine
stock.
Isaac o. Webb, former citizen of
Laclede, died at his home near Null
hall, Okla, on December 20, of ty-
phoid fever. Just ten days later one
of the children, girl two years old
died of brain fever. Mrs. Webb has
the sympathy of her many Laclede
friends in her hour of great sorrow.
The Burlington has made a change
in the train service at Laclede that
will be of benefit to our people. St.
Louis train No. Is due here at $3.50
a. m. now makes regular stops instead
of the Chicago train an hour later. |
The Chicago train, however, will stop
on Sunday mornings to let off passen.
gers from east of Palmyra.
By glancing through THE BLADE to-
day it will be noticed that the Laclede |
dry goods merchants have inaugurated
their annual mid-winter sales and are
offering inducements that are likely
to open the most stubborn pocket
book. The campaign of reducing
stock will last two weeks and it will
pay those needing anything in that
line to Come to Laclede and buy now.
Emil E. Lomax, of Denison, Tex
IS, is in the city. Emil is one of the
,ld-time boys, having been born and
raised in Laclede. he was q brake
nan ON the III. K. q T. in Texas for
! number of years, and has since been
at his old trade, the printers.
He came here from Kansas City to
1isit relatives, and has been holding
lown case on THE BLADE.

and praises of his neighbor and pc.
destrians generally, last week, was the
man who got busy soon after the
storm and cleaned the snow from his
walk. The heavy gale drifted the
snow until some of the walks were i'm
passable and much shoveling had to
be done.
A few days ago The BLADE re-
ceived letter from Phares Shive, at
Crossett, Ark, in which he and Mrs.
Shive extend the compliments of the
season to their many Laclede friends
and wish them all a happy and pros
porous New Year. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shine will move onto their farm, two
miles from Crossett, in February.
On Christmas morning, at the home
of T. M. Elliott, Rev. G. W. Conner,
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
united in marriage I. D. Perry, Of
Callao, and Cora E. Vanzant, of
Berry, ILL., They departed on the
noon train that day for Callao, where
they will make their home. Mrs.
Perry is sister of Mrs. Oscar Wea-
yer, of this place.
In sending check to renew for
THE BLADE this year, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. R. Wells, of Carlisle, Ark, sends
New Years greeting to their many
Laclede friends. Their daughter,
Mrs. Ethel Shultz, who is visiting
them, will shortly go to California to
reside. Mr.. Wells says rice is now
being grown successfully in Arkansas,
in some cases producing as much as
"A bushels per acre.
o. A. Potter, of Assumption, ILL.,,
who bought the Wroe farm, is here
this week buying feed and arranging
to move here the latter part of next
month. He is accompanied by G. L.
Mccullough, of Finley, ILL.,, who will
buy farm and locate here if he can
find something to suit him.. Mr.. Pot
ter is we'll pleased with his farm and
being pleasant and agreeable gentle |
men we believe our people will like
him equally as well. |
Although no BLADE was printed
last week, this Office was a very busy
place. In addition to the usual run
of commercial printing, we turned out
a law brief for Attorney G. G. Bigger
in the case of Morgan VS.. Stoddard, a
land suit, appealed to the supreme
court from the circuit court of
Livingston county, and 1000 full
page bills for ]. W. Lomax & Co., ad-

and several sets of public sale bills.
A deal was made the first of the
week through the real estate firm of
Allen & Jones by which Mrs. Alex
lnder traded the Foreman hotel for
he farm Of D. d. Hallam, three miles
outhwest of Laclede. Mr.. Hallam ,
will have public sale on Thursday !
f next week, and as soon as matters
an be arranged will move to town ]
nd take possession of the hotel. Mr.. I
nd Mrs. Hallam are splendid people '

DOCTORS FIND
DEATH CAUSED
BY STRYCHNIlVE
Stanford Inquest Progresses
Rapidly at Honolulu.
Miss Beyney Star Witness
BY SPECIAL CABLE TO THE GALL.

HONOLULU, March Ode
spite the declaration of Sheriff
Henry Yesterday that the chemists
would not be ready with their re-
port on the analysis of the stom-
ach of the late Mrs. Stanford for
four or FIVE days. an inquest upon
the body was begun to-day within
sight almost of the windows
of the room where the aged
woman died in awful agony and
within hearing of the waves that
beat upon the beach at Waikiki.
The inquest was held in the pri-
Vate dining-room of the Moano
Hotel. 1t is a small apartment.
opening into another adjoining it.
The San Francisco call., 1905-03-07

The poisoned Poland water that
nearly ended the life of Mrs. Stanford
on January IA was prepared some time
between $50 p. m. OF the 18th and
$50 p. m. OF the 18th. This fact
is fixed by the testimony given in Cap
tain Burnett's Office yesterday by Eliz
abeth Richmond. the former maid Of
the dead philanthropist.
The water was poisoned by some
member of the ousehold-that point
is implied from her statement. At
10 a. m. of January II Miss Rich
mond saw on Mrs. Stanfords wash
stand a bottle of Poland water from
which large quantity had been drunk
At $50 o. m. Miss Richmond carried up
another bottle Of Poland water. Then
she noticed that the bottle which had
been nearly empty in the morning was
almost full
1t was from this bottle-the one that
had stood in the room from $50 p. m
of the 18th to $50 D. m of the
14th-that Mrs. Stanford drank
It was a draught from this bottle that
poisoned her, as an analysis from
Wakelees drug store afterward proved.
The San Francisco call., 1905-03-07
WILL IGNORES
SENATOR'S KIN
Jerome Stanford Dissatisfied,
but No Contest Likely.

Some feeling of dissatisfaction and
resentment is shown by Jerome Stan
ford, a nephew of the late Senator
Stanford, over the provisions Of
Mrs. Stanford's will. He aptly ex-
money to Chinese. bootblacks and all.
but remembered not one Of the STAN
fords.'
Regarding the probability Of con-
testing the will, Mr.. Stanford was par
ticularly reticent and declined to af
firm or deny. He stoutly maintained
that he had arrived at no conclusion.
The future, he added, must be governed
by conditions.
Senator Stanford left this nephew, as
he did to others, the sum of 100000
But it seems that before paying Jer-
ONE Stanford his legacy, Mrs. Stan
ford settled his outstanding obligations
and after these were paid only $4,000
remained for him.
1t is said that there was an under
standing between Senator Stanford and
his wife that the one who survived
should make provision in his or her
will for the blood relations of the Other.
If this fact could be established-a thing
that would be difficult to do-Jer0me
Stanford might possibly gain some
thing from a contest. Otherwise he
would not, for if the will should be
made imperative, the law of succession
would give him no share in the estate,
he being no kin of the testatrix,
"The late Senator Stanford" said
Jerome Stanford yesterday, 'in his will
remembered all his nephews and
nieces, and, in fact, all of his rela-
tives. The Lathrop relations were
generously treated. and each nephew
and niece received 100000. Now, al
though / have always had pleasant
and friendly relations with Mrs. Stan
ford. think she showed great discour-
tesy in refusing to equal the Senator 8
generosity and similarly remember the
Stanford branch in her will.
