Judge Sherman, of the Buchanan
Circuit Court, has rendered 4 decision sus.
tanning an injunction restraining the Treas
urer of Buchanan County from receiving
from the County Collector in payment of
iaXes county warrants not properly in
aorsed. Warrants heretofore have been
transferred by simply signing the owners
name on the back as in the case of bank
checks and notes. It seems that the statute
provides that the Endorsement must show
that the transfer is for value received and to
whom the warrants is transferred. This de-
cision leaves the Collector with about $685.
900 worth of warrants received for taxes in
his hands.

cents. The amount received from one
fourth of the ordinary revenue is $3.50, 1913.

STA $40. making total of S549, 671.s3. The
total number Of school children is IA ,3S1.
The Truitt family, of st. Louis, are in
great luck prospectively. They hope to es-

of the TRUTHS came to this country in 1850.
and the genealogical record seems to be
straight right'back to the certificate of de-
posit.

The St. Joseph Home of the Friend
less is now in excellent condition. 1t owns |
its property, is out of debt, and on March I |
had in the treasury 81 $500. This has all |
been accomplished by the untiring energy |
of few women who have labored ten or |
more years to this end, the most of the time
renting property and supporting the in
mates by soliciting contributions. The re-
suit is lasting monument to their memory
as practical humanitarians.

ate to save her from being fatally burned.

mated that if that had not the desired effect
