St. Louis is interested in the family, the home life and the methods of a great Mis- sour political leader, for whom citizens may soon have a chance to vote. St. Lows will learn something ft never knew before when it hears the statements of five well-known citizens, whose ages ax- @remate 366 years, on a subject which con- cerns every man and women.

The body of the man fished out of the river at the foot of Marceau street Friday morning and taken to the morgue is be- lieved to Se that of Piilip Edde, who re- cently worked as watchman for the Ban- ner Buggy Co., at the northwest corner of Third street and Chouteau avenue. Mrs. Edds called at the morgue Saturday morning and looked at the body. “It looks like my husband,"’ she sald as she turned away, ‘“‘but as I have not seen him for some time I am unable to state positively if it is he. I will call again.” Mre. Edds volunteered no further infor- mation. She is a sister of Policeman John Patterson'‘of the Broadway Squad, who said he was shocked §ut not surprised when told by the Post-Dispatch that the dead man at the morgue probably was his brother-in- law. - “Did he commit suicide?’ was the offi- cer's first question. ‘‘His only brother, a Louisville merchant, killed himself by shooting two years ago. Philip had fre- quently threatened to kill both himself and my sister, who had to separate from him about six months ago on account of his drunkenness. “Philip Edds came from McLain County, Kv.. where his relatives stand well. His wife and their two iittle daughters lived with him at 2421 South Broadway until compelled to leave by reason of his habits. A year ago my sister complained to me and I had Bdds arrested. In the Carondelet police court he was fined and sent to the Workhouse, but on his promise to do better we got him out, “He continued to go on sprees and could not hold a job. There was plenty of work for him. as he was an expert blacksmith and horseshoer, but he would get drunk after working a short time and his employ- ers would discharge him. “His wife supported herself and the two little girls, Agnes and Hallie, 9 and 7 yeare old. They live in Carondelet, and 8o0 far as I know. my sister has not seen her hus- band for six monfhs.”’ ‘ Supt. W. . Roninger of the Banner Buggy Co. said that Edds had not worked there for the last six weeks, having been discharged on account of drunkenness “Except for his drinking habit.’ said Mr. Roninger, “‘Edds was a fine man. I pro- moted him, but the couldn't stand pros- verity.” , Edds was last seen Tuesday on Lombard street by some of his fe!low workmen at the buggy house. He said he was sick and wanted to go to the hospital. He had a room in the vicinity of Ninth street and Ruseell avenue. Mr. Roninger will call at the Morgue to view the body. SHOWERS AND A COOL SUNDAY ——— ~~ What Dr. Hyatt Sees in Prospect From the Reading of His Weather Map. ——-—-— — for Sunday out showers, with thunderstorm accompaniment. Weather Wizard Hyatt pives this warning. though he makes no definite prediction that it will rain Sunday. He says it is very probable that there will be showers Gaturday night and some time during Sunday, with a drop of about 10 degrees in temperature by Sun- day evening. Saturday the thermometer registered @ at7 a. m., a drop of 2 degrees since Friday. But as there is freezing weather now on the Rocky Mountain slope, and below freez- ing in portions cof Montana and New Mex- ico, with the chill moving eastward, Dr. Hyatt thinks that we may look for at least 19 degrees lower temperature by church vesper service hour.
