St. Louis's state (8)

I believe the answer is:

missouri

(Other definitions for missouri that I've seen before include "So is rum I alter to the state" , "River joining the Mississippi south of St Louis" , "Longest river in the US, joining the Mississippi at St Louis" , "Flower" , "American state, capital Jefferson City" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
