MRS. HELLER
PASSES AWAY

ne Message last week maze
brief mention of the death of Mrs.
Edna Elizabeth Morris Heller, "A
former Mexico girl, at her home
at Lawrence, Kan. The Sapulpa
(Okla) Democrat of last Satur-
day gives full details as follows
Mrs. Edna Elizabeth Heller,
wife of Edward L. Heller, quietly
passed away at her home at Law
renee, Kas., Tuesday, Nov. 26,
1912, at y :55 a. m, aged 10 years,
, months and 6 days.
Mrs. Heller was the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. O.
Morris of this place, born Sept.
10, 1893, at Mexico, Mo. She was
married to Mr.. Heller. June 6.
1911, in her native town. Some
months after they moved to Law
renee, kans., where they lived
happily until the time of her
death, the parents in the mean
time having moved to Sapulpa.
The husband brought her remains
here for interment. Mrs. Heller
united with the Christian church
at the age of twelve and was a
faithful member and earnest
worker until the time of her
death. The funeral service was
held yesterday at : p. m. at the
home of her parents, 3l6 South
Maple, conducted by Rev. Jno. r..
Curtis of the Presbyterian church.
Her beautiful character shown
the brightest perhaps in her home,
but her Christian life as well as
her home life was attractive,
earnest and helpful to all who
knew her. She goes to make
heaven more attractive, desirable
and hOmelike to husband, father
and mother, brothers and sisters.
TO that sunny cline where there
is no more pain, and the weary
are at rest. Miss herr Yes, of
course you will miss her, but after
while the shrOud that envelopes
your loved one will be returned.
the gloom that hovers over this
hour will be lifted and the mist
will have cleared away. Then
when you think of her it will not
be with sad hearts, fearful eyes
and broken spirit, but your
thoughts will be of heaven, of
sunshine, of immortal life and
everlasting bliss, in that land of
JOY and song.
There is a land Of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign.
Infinite day excludes the night
And pleasures Danish pain. "

people Denied Right to Vote-A
Court Decision.

jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 30
# was held today by Division No.
Of the Supreme Court that the
State primary of every two years
is not a general State election
within the meaning of the law, al
though it is Statewide.
Commissioner Stephen S.
Brown, who wrote the opinion,
which was concurred i'll by all
Judges of the division, rules that
the primary, instead of being an
election within the ordinary
political meaning of that term, is
merely "A part of the machinery
provided by the Legislature for
holding general State elections,
its office being the qualification of
candidates from which officers
are to be selected for that final
function, the general election.
The finding is in the case of the
State eX rel, John w. Million VS..
T. d. Graham, in connection with
a local option election which was
10 have taken place in Mexico,
No., August 1, 1908.
The Mayor and the Council re-
fused to issue the call for the
special election, although the nee
eS>ary petitions of electors had
been presented and the law other
WSr complied with.
The ground for the refusal was
that the local-option law itself
stated such an election could not
BE- called for any day within sixty
days Of a general election. The
date set, August 1, was within
two days of the August State pri-
mary of 1908.
The Audrain Circuit Court is
sued peremptory writ of manda-
mus ordering the Mayor and the
lomcil TO proceed with the local
option election ruling that State
primary was not a regular State
election An appeal was taken.
The constitutionality of the
local option law also was attacked
on the ground that it cOnhictcd
with the Constitution, inasmuch
as the title did not express all of
It's provisions.
IN It's decision the Supreme
Court SuStains the order of the
Audram court to the Mayor and
Vomcll Of Mexico to hold the
local option election, and upholds
lie local option law as constitu-
tonal, ruling which has been
made before.
