US state whose capital is Jefferson City (8)

I believe the answer is:

missouri

(Other definitions for missouri that I've seen before include "Biggest tributary of the Mississippi" , "Longest river in the US, joining the Mississippi at St Louis" , "Flower" , "American state, capital Jefferson City" , "State south of Iowa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
