The Missouri supreme court declared We mean we have the quality. to-day that the law is constitutional. TNBy this mean Mr. Speed must refund $11,417.72 and Mr. Flynn $6,919.85. The law places the salary of the office at $7,000, out of which the inspector is to pay all of the expense of his office. It requires him to pay into the state treasury all of the fees col- lected by him in excess of that amount. Mr. Speed and Mr. Flynn contended that the statute as enacted entitled the inspector to retain $7, 000 of the fees collected by him at each semi-annual statement period designated in the act, which would make the salary $14,000 annually, and also that the act is violative of the provisions of the constitution prohibiting the legislature from pas- sing any local or special law.

One Correspondent’s Theory of His Colleague’s Death Seattle, Wash., June 22.—The facts leading to the shooting of Colonel Edward Emerson, jr, war corre- spondent of the New York World, in the Far East, are related by R. L. Dunn, correspondent in Korea for an American weekly magazine. Mr. Dunn, who landed here yesterday, made this statement after hearing that Colonel Emerson was dead: “Colonel Emerson, as a military man, was well aware of the position occupied by Japanese soldiers. Some time ago he made the announcement that he intended to go through the Russian lines and work from that vantage point. When itcame to the ears of the Japanese military author- ities that Colonel Emerson intended to take this step an officer approach- ed another representative of Emer- son’s paper and informed him that if he took such a step the government could scarcely be further responsible for his safety. Icontemplated a move similar to that outlined by Emerson, but the Japanese made {t clear to me that it would not be wie for me to proceed. Emerson had papers which would have carried him through the Rus- sian line in safety. In view of these facte, I am inclined to think the real story of his death has not been learn- ed.” “It feels like ice to a sunburn says one customer.” MUST HAVE A - BEGINNING.

There is always the danger that such mes- sages will cease to be “private and confidential.” The value of the sys- tem was clearly demonstrated in the attack on Port Arthur, which led to the destruction of Admiral Makaroff's flagship; it will be remembered that @ weak force was sent close up to Port Arthur, on the appearance of which the Admiral steamed out with his full feet. Immediately the man- euver was seen to be successful, a message was sent by wireless telog- raphy to Admiral Toga, who with the main body of the Japanese fleet was lying some forty miles off, and who immediately steamed up. But for the lifting of the fog, the entire Russian fleet would have been de- stroyed. Boy Mysteriously killed. Chillicothe, Mo., June 22.—John Quinton, a 10-year-old boy of Grand River Township, was shot to death Tuesday after noon in a mysterious manner. His parents were away from home and when they returned they found his lifeless body lying in the yard. There was a bullet hole in his fore- head. By his side was a target rifle with an empty cartridge in it. The boy’s head was powder burnt, showing that the bullet had been fired at close range, but as noreason can be assigned for his taking hisown life no solution of the tragedy could be reached by the coroner’s jury.
