Sah pee een Sa Fi a i Ne a se BN EE BO wa a BIGMONEY FOR ROADS. Beer Inspection Bill Gets Large Majority in House. TAX OF TWO CENTS A GALLON Will Give More than a Million Dollars Annu- ally to Roads.—Brewers Say it Means Ruin.—Chances Good in Senate. Jefferson City, Mo., March 10.— Unless the state senate kill the Ry- der bill, all beer brewed in Missouri will be taxed 2 cents a gallon, and more than $1,000,000 annually will be raised for expenditure on good roads. The Ryder bill passed the house to-day by the overwhelming majority of 91 to 37, and the indications are that it will likewise pass the senate. This pet bill of General Wm. Ryder, the notorious, has been before every legislature for the past decade. was stolen in the house two years ago, and subsequently defeated by the brewers’ lobby. The bill is patterned after the En- glish law for beer inspection. It provides for inspectors to see that all beer is made of pure materials, and provides for a tax of 2 cents a gallon on beer. This tax would, of course, amount to much more than enough to pay the expenses of the inspection, and the bill provides that the money that is left shall be divided among the different counties to be expended on the public roads. The brewers claim that if this bill should become a law it would prac- tically kill every large brewer in the state. This the friends of the bill deny. The contention of the brewers is that the Missouri breweries are foreed to compete with the big Milwaukee, Wis., breweries. The fight between the Auheuser-Busch and Lemp breweries at St. Louis with the Pabst, Schlitz and other Milwaukee breweries has been so hot within the past few years that a slight tax or the least discrimina- tion in freight rates is said to be ruinous. The St. Louis breweries have contended that a 2-cent tax on Missouri beer will enable the Mil- waukee brewers to ship beer to points even south of St. Louis cheaper than it can be manufactured for in Missouri, and that all trade north of St. Louis will be killed at once. The pressure, however, which has been brought to bear in favor of the bill is enormous. The good roads agitators have lined up in favor of italmost toa man. In addition to the support of the farmers, who see an opportunity of getting good roads the Y.M.C.A, the W. ©. T. U. and kindred organizations are in line, and in addition to all these are the men who see an opportunity of sand bagging the breweries The Mount Lebsnon Shakers have recently perfected an ingenious cure for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cor dial consists ofa food already digest- ed and a digester of foods happily combined. The importance of this invention will be appreciated when we realize what a proportion of the community are victims of some form of stomach troubles. Thousands of pale, thin people have little inclination to eat, and what they do eat causes them pain and distress. This Digestive Cordial of the Shakers corrects any stomach de rangements at once. It makes thin people plump. Everg one will be greatly interested to read the little book which has been placed in the hands of druggists for free distribu tion. What is Laxol?

They had ‘firmly resolved to put Mr. Bland’s name before the caucus and to make a strong fight to secure the coveted honor for the distinguished Missourian. His definite annouce- ment that he does not want his name mentioned in connection with the Speakership leaves the eleven other Democrats from the State free to vote for other candidates for the honor of leading the minority on the floor of the House during the Fifty- fifth Congress. The three active candidates for the nomination in the Democratic caucus to be held Saturday after- noon are Bailey of Texas, Richard con and McMillin of Tennessee They are three strong men especially well fitted to be leaders onthe Dem ocratic minority. Bailey will get some of the votes of Missouri; so will McMillin and Richardson may receive two or three. There is a dis position on the part of some of the Missourians to recognize MeMillin because of his long service in the House. It isan open question yet, however, how the @ote of the State will go, now that Mr. Bland is posi- tively not to be a candidate. Champ Clark of the Nine Missouri came in yesterday and was warmly welcomed by a host of old friends Congressman Robert N. Bodine of Monroe is also here and the other members will arrive by Saturday.

Lee, requesting him to continue at his selected as his successor, and it would ba inconvenient to consider that matter for sometime. He was assured of fair treatment by the new | administration, and told that his re- maining as Consul General would be regarded by the President as a per- sonal favor. SHERMAX'S PROPCSITION TO EPAIN. Washington, D. C., March 10.—It is said that Secretary Sherman has requested Spain to issue orders that Americans arrested for assisting the insurgents shall be expelled forth- with from the island The Secretary exempts from the operation of the policy such Ameri- cans as may be taken under arms or fighting in the insurgent ranks. He leaves them to stand the consequence of their acts. But when Americans show sympathy or offend against neutrality in ways other than by actual force the Secretary desires Spain to make immediate expulsion the only penalty. No official anewer to this request has as yet been re- ceived from Spain. Out of House and Home. Washington, D.
