This is an or- der from the United States circuit court to make a tax levy to pay the interest on the $220,000 indebted- ness incurred by the issuance of bonds by the county in 1870. Neith- er interest nor anything else has been paid on these bonds since their issuance, and every year the United | States court goes through the form | of issuing peremptory orders to the county judges to make a levy. The judges are elected by the people of St. Clair county with the understand- ing that the levy must not be made and the judges on the receipt of writs refuse to obey and are subject, toarrest for contempt.

JUDGE WM. ‘OTT’S The Last Rest Resting Place of the Re- nowned Jurist Now a Barnyard. Dr. J. A. Elston, of Elston sta-| tion, writes the Jefferson City Trib-| une as follows concerning the neg- lect of the grave of the late Judge Wm. Scott, and suggests that the remains be removed to the} state cemetery in Jefferson City. | Judge Wm. Scott was the father of the late Judgé Chas. R. Scott, who was so well known to the people of this section of country. In his let- {ter Dr. Elston says: “I wish to call the attention of citizens of the great state of Missouri to the fact that one of their greatest jurists, the late William Scott, chief justice of the supreme court of the state of SIis-} souri, was buried at his residence in | Cole county, and that since his death the farm has passed into other hands, and that the grave of Judge Scott is to-day in a barnyard, and possibly in a few yearsall knowledge | of the exact place of his burial will be obhterated forever.

A passenger, who at that moment stepped into the waiting room and | saw the predicament the agent was | in, drew his revolver and fired at} the robbers, the bullet piercing the ear of one of them, whereupon they took to their heels. Up to this time there has been no r trace of the robbers found, but the ease will be investigated by the rail- | road company. Farm For Sale.

It isa burn- ing shame to the state that some- thing has not been done in this mat- ter long ago. It is unnecessary for me to say anything eulogizing the name of Scott, even it I felt compe- tent.

This suit was instituted by Church- man to test the legality of the elec- tion in Carthage by wnich local op- tion was adopted.
