JEprERsoS, NO., May 3.-Friends of
temperance and high license received a
severe blow last night from the Missouri
Legislature. When the Lawmakers con.
yened last winter public sentiment
throughout the State seemed TO be in
favor Of high license. Several bills were
introduced and the good points Of all
were selected and Incorporated in a
measure known as the Deering bill,
which fixed the license fee at $500.
This bill passed the House two weeks
ago and was sent to the Senate. It was
confidently expected on all sides that It
would become a law, but when the bill
was put on It's final passage yesterday II
was defeated by IL TOO.
