Gevernor Crittenden sent his mes- sage to the two Houses of the Mis- souri Legislature on Friday the 4th inst. It is quite lengthy, and con- sidered in all its parts, 1s avery able document. The message disap- points many, however, in the fact that no reference is made to the question of prohibition. The message starts out by con- gratulating the Legislature on the auspicious surroundings and favora- ble circumstances of its assembly. The first subject discussed 1s the Treasury and the financial condi- #10n of the State. The result shows that during the present Administra- tion the bonded indebtedness of the State has; been reduced $712,000. This 'reduces the interest bearing debt ot the State, on the first day of the present month, to $13.979,000. The dismemberment and bringing to justice ot Missouri’s famous out- law band, lead by Jesse and Frank James, receives considerable atten- tion. The Governor makes a short vécapitulation of the band’s record, and deals at length with the circum- stances of its disolution. He looks apon the result,as a great blessing for the commonwealth, and is not at all egotistical in his expressions. The Hannibal & St. Joseph Rail- road bond case is treated at 1ength, showing the safe condition of the tate’s interests in the litigation, and expressing confidence ot ultimate vavorable results. Upon the subjectof revenue the nessuge contains a table showing the total assessment of all classes of vroverty forthe year 1882 to be $649- 264,247,86, being an increase in val- saation of $47.544,369,14, over that otthe year 1881.

Will the buisness men of Osceola | Many wonder, why it is, that their | taxes are so much higher this year than last. To satisfy ourselves and those of our readers who havea cyriosity to know, we have taken oc- Casion to up look andinyestigate the matter. To begin with, nearly every tax- payer gave in his property to the Assessor higher this season than last. So far as the tax levied is concern- ed, there has been no difference this year ever last, excepting for school and city purpuses. The school tax in this district is fifteen cents higher than it was last year and the city tax ten cents. In the other school dis- tricts in the county, the increase of tax yarics. Some run above fitteen and others below. It should be borne in mind that the county officers,Assessors or Collec- tors, have nothing te do with the regulation of this class ot taxes. The various township Scnool Boards control the school tax, and the Citv Council the City tax. The County Court, of course, control the county tax, but, as we stated above, there has been no change in that. The townships and school districts con- trol all-their local tax. The unitorm rate of tax levied this year for state, county and town- ship purposes is as follows: Sedalia Democrat: A woman in Vermeut has just been sentenced to fifty year’s imprisonment in the penitentiary ter vielating the liquor laws.

An elaborate scale of pomts was ar- ranged, aad the conditions were that the hunt was to be followed from sunrise to sunset, the defeated party to pay for the ammunition, furnisi the Christmas dinner and eat at the second table.
