The greatest excitement prevailed when the dispatch was read. The new Board of Trade build- ing to be built at Kansas City will cost $550.000. The building will be fire proof, and work on the foun dation will be begun this winter. Hon. Wm. R.

The above paragraph is an insult to every ‘‘country’’ editor in Mis- aourt.

But the board having refused to pay Dickerson for the full time which he held the office, suit was commenced by Dickerson against the board, which suit is yet pending in the court of appeals.

McClure | ot Sedalia, Mo., Deputy Internal | Revenue Collector for the Fitth \ District ot Mo., whom he found 1n- specting tne numerous lots of *butter’ | found in stock, and Joseph McKib- ben lvoking through his glasses | anxiously awaiting the result. It is only necessary for us to state thatsome of the fine “butter” brought in by the farmers and dairymen and sold to Uncle Joseph as the pure extract ot the Jersey, Holstein, Here- ford, Devon and Derham cows proved to be nothing more than ‘soleomargerine”’ in the meaning of the law. Such being the result of the tests ot the inspector of the government under the new law now in force, our reporter entered at once into the labyrinths of the law and searched out the act of Congress governing a bill to the town board tor pay for the tme for which Dickerson had A majority of the board, being republican, voted to allow Morgan’s bill. The Mayor took the ground that the board had no night to pay Morgan until the courts decided whether Dickerson was en- titled to it or not, and onthat ground refused to sign a warrant for Morgan Thereupon sued. to draw the money. Morgan sued out a writ of mandamus to compel Mayor Brown to sign the warrant, and this mandamus suit 1s still pending in our circuit court. Within the last two months Morgan brought in a bill torthe whole time tat Dickerson served, amounting, we believe, to about three hundred and seventy-five dollars. The board voted in tavor of allowing the bill, which Mayor Brown very properly vetoed by refusing to sign the war- Right here, in justice to Mr. | Jenkins, we wish to that he was not present at the meeting when this allowance was favor Mo and strenuously opposes paving Mr, Morgan one dollar back rant. made in ot ny salary until the courts decide to whom it belongs, and we believe, too, had Mr. status of the Badgley tully understood the he would We | Mayor Brown and Alderman Jenkins case nave voted differently. feel that are in the right in this matter and we believe they will stand up for what they conceive to be right. Some members of the board claim that the mayor has no right to refuse to sign a warrant when voted by the board. All we have to say is, this is no new departure. The same thing has occurred in our town before and in almost eyery other town or city in the United States. At any rate, Morgan has had his mandamus suit against Brown pending in our circuit court for a year. Why don’t he Push it and, if right 1s so completely on his side, compel the mayor to sign his warranty This he has per- sistently retused to do, his attorney continuing the case trom time to time, while Mayor Brown always announces ready tor trial.

Nov. 8.— Senator Kenna, chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee, returned this morning. His calculation is that after March 4th, the senate will stand 37 demo crats and s7 republicans, leavinz out Senators Van Wyck and Ruiddle- berger, whe have hitherto shown a disposition to sustain the adminis- tration by their votes. The latest reliable obtainable in- formation is that Simmons,democrat has been elected in the Second North Carolina district, and that Campbell, democrat, in Ohro has a clear ma- jerity of three votes. { Predicted upon these amended | returns Senator Kenna estimates that | the democratic majority in the next | house will be twenty, including the two labor men, who, it is under- stood, will both vote with the democrats. i nent the manufacture and sale of the soe called oleomargerine, in order to be able to intorm our numerous readers of the danger in attempting to per- petrate a traud upon the people either by manutacturing or exposing to sale this butterine ot oleomarger- ine without first having paid the required license. Inasmuch, as we have said, that some of the butter so inspected was purchased trom some ot our promi- farmers, that it proved by actual test to be fraudulent, and, coming under the act, we give below —the law designating what is con- is con- sidered **butter” and what sidered*-oleomargerine’ -—the matter becomes more interesting. The law says: ‘Butter, for the purposes of this act shall be understuod to mean the tood product usually known as butter, and which 1s made exclusively trom milk or cream, or both, with or without common salt, and with or without additional coloring matter. ‘That tor the purposes of this act, substances, extracts and mixtures and compounds manufactured certain including such mixtures and com- pounds with butter, shall be known and designated as ‘oleomargerine,’ viz.: All substance heretofore known as oleomargerine, oleo, oleomarger- ine-oil, butterine, lardine, suine,and neutral; all mixtures and compounds ot oleomargerine, oleo, oleomarger- | the Rich | Col. was as dumb as an oyster. ine-oil, butterine, lardine, suine, and neutral! ; all lard extracts and tallow extracts; ard all mixtures and com- pounds of tallow, beef-fat, suet, lard, lard-oil, vegetable oil, annatto, and other coloring matter, intestinal tat and offal made in imitation or sem- blance of butter, or when so made calculated or intended to be sold as butter or for butter.’” Nuw comes the dangerous part of the act, the penalty attached to mix- ing lard, tallow, suet,or other foreign substance, with butter and selling or exposing the same to sale without first having paid the required gov ernment license. The penalty clause to the act reads as tollows: *‘Every person who manufactures oleomar- gerine (this includes all of the com- pounds or any of the compounds above stated) without having first paid the special tax thereof, as re- quired by law, shall besides being liable to the payment of the tax, be fined not less than $1,000 nor more than $5,000; and every retail! dealer ot oleomargerine, who shall sell or expose to sale oleomargerine, without ! having paid the special tax as requir- ed by law, shall, besides being liable | to the payment of the tax, be fined not less than $50 nor more than | $500.” OF course it is not required of Col. | McClure to make any arrests.
