PSS At the thirteenth conference of the foreign Mission boards of the United States and Canada, held at Phila- delphia, plans for a world wideevan- gelisation campaign were discussed by the conference. Ex-Mayor of 8+. Louis, Henry Ziegenhein, will have to pay his full subscription to the World’s Fair of $5,000 and $1,873 interest thereon, according to a decision of the circuit court. Zlegenhein refused to pay, because he objected to using Forest Park as the site for the fair. The McCamber service pension bill paseed the senate last week by al- mosta unanimous vote.

DeArmond introduced a bill in the House requiring American manufacturers to mark the tariff rate on every article offered for sale, provided the rate {s thirty per cent or higher. Mr. DeArmond sald: “By printing the tariff rate on an article the people of this country will be im- ( pressed with the inequalities of the tariff system. They will realize that excessive tariff rates are respoasible for high prices. Then they will be heard from.” ————_ The legislative committee, appoint- ed to investigate the charges against Superintendent Capt. G. D. Clark, of the Federal Soldier’s Home at St. James, Mo., made {ts report to the House the first of the week. The re- port shows that Clark was charged by five young women with attempt- ing to take liberties with them and sustained the board of managers in demanding his resignation, but the report failed to pass on the matter of the Captain’s guilt or innocence of the charges. Clark denied that he had charged that the boards’ action in demanding his resignation was because he was a Folk man. The cigarette fiend will come pretty nearly being cured of the habit if Representative Cross’ bill, introduc- ed inthe house Friday becomes a law. Atany rate, his ranks will be decimated. The bill makes it unlaw- ful to either séll or give away a ciga- rette to any person without regard to age, or even for one to have the “coffin nails” in his possession. It is aleo made unlawfal to manufacture them in the state, either for the pur- pose of selling or giving them away, or to make, eell or give away ciga- rette wrappers or paper. A fine of not lees than $10 nor more than $200 is to be imposed for each viola- tion of the law. Eee Easter time in 1907 comes unusu- ally early, falling on Sunday, March 81, which will undoubtedly furnish a cool reception for pretty Easter bon- nets, @ condition thatthe almanac maker doubtless overlooked.

Hudson, of Chillicothe, will introduce in the senate a measure of much importance to bankers and business interests generally through- | and out the state, embodying the appli- cation of the “double Hability” feat- ure of the national banking law; and wilse kto apply it to state banks of deposit and discount and savings banks. Senator Hudson is interest- ed in two state banks and one na- tional bank.
