In answer to the inquiries and
communications we have received
in regard to the matter of petition
ing Hon. G.. F Clark to introduce
a bill into the Legislature amend
ing our charter so that we can se-
lect part of our Council each year
and allow the Others to hold over,
We refer our readers to the follow
ing section of the Constitution of
Missouri
"Ne corporation, after the adop-
Iion of this Constitution, shall be
created by special laws, nor shall
any existing charter be extended,
changed or amended by special
laws, except those for charitable,
penal or reformatory purposes,
which are under patronage and con-
troll of the State
1t will be seen from the above, as
the LEDGER has stated before, that
our present charter cannot be
amended. Our only show is to do
as several other towns of our size
in the State have done, and that
is to adopt third-class charter.

IT strikes US that the f'hole in
the ground' company should have
a meeting and elect directors. The
present directors are all right, but
from what we can learn their time
is out and an election should have
been held some time since. All
business transacted should be look
ed after and attended to by prop
erly elected officers. 1t will be a
while before the legal matters OF
this company are settled up, and il
any fences are left down along the

dearly for it.

'annnounced in this issue of the

If your votes are given to Mr..

In the case of the Mexico Mining

Colds and Improper Night Wear

From tue b"irJlt Tribune.
The conventional linen or airy
cotton night-robe is in no small de-
gree responsible lor the prevalence
of winter colds. Most people sit
during the evening in a room heated
to rs degrees or upward. They re-
tire to room, perhaps at 60 de-
grees, divest themselves of their
warm garments, put on an airy
cotton night-robe, get between
chilly sheets, and shiver until they
give out sufficient warmth from
their bodies to change the tempera-
tule. This sudden change from
hot to cold is radically wrong and
serious contemplation of the fact
will show to any sensible person
the absurdity of such a custom.
Good warm night garments are as
essential to good health and com.
fort as are warm day clothes.
Warmer night clothes and fewer
bed clothes would be better foI
both children and adults. Wooler
night clothes allow the body tc
maintain a normal temperature
which is ofthe greatest importance
In nearly all foreign countries
when a change of garments il
made at night, wooden or a mixture
of silk and linen or cotton is worn

An Important Instruction.

ron the Owl Green HINES
Judge E. NJ. Hughes on Monday
last instructed the grand jury as
follows, On the liquor question:
"What is known as the local op-
ton law, became operative in all
par's of your county, except Louis
lana on the - day - 1887. Ali
previous laws on the Statute Book
of our State regulating the sale of
spirituous liquors, wine and beer,
as beverages. We're repealed by
the adoption of the law. 1t is, and
has been unlawful for any person
under any pretense to sell intoxl-
eating liquors, wine or beer as bev-
erages, either directly or indirect
ly, in any quantity whatever,
within the County of Pike; outside
of the City of Louisiana, under
penalty of being guilty of misde-
meanor, and punished by a fine of
not less than $500 nor more than
81 ,OOO-or by Imprisonment fer not
less than six months, nor more
than twelve months in the county
| Jail or by both such fine, and i'm
prisonment.
The exceptions are: Wine may
be sold for sentimental purposes;
and licensed druggist and pharma-
cist may furnish pure alcohol for
| Art, Medical, Scientific or Mechan-
ical purposes, and the licensed
druggist and pharmacist, may, un-
der prescription of a physician.
as required by the session acts of
1881, and amended in 1888, sell in
toxlcating liquors for medical pur-
iposes."
| This virtually places the liquor
business in the hands of the physi-
clans. While in some sections
there are men calling themselves
physicians who will dish out
whisky as freely as they would
water, we are proud to say that
Bowling Green is not cursed with
any such persons, and if they were,
the druggists would not honor
their promiscuous prescriptions for
liquor. Let the people who have
voted this law with the understand
ing that it would stop the drug
store traffic see that these physi-
clans (?) are brought to justice If
they persist in giving prescrip-
tions. The people said by their
votes they wanted it stepped and
tthey should see that it is stopped.
