amendment to the constitution giving
women the right to vote at school and

tional amendments reported the meas
ure unfayorably, but Immediately the
minority submitted favorable report,
signed by Messts Tatdm, Cfabb and
Smallwood. Mr.. Carter, OF Grundy,
the author of the measure, asked
that the minority report and
the proposed amendment be printed.
Only a few voted on this prop
osition, and it was. declared carried.
Mr.. Weinhold then moved to recon-
slider, which was carried, and to settle
matters, Mr.. Fogel moved that the en-
tire matter be indefinitely postponed.
This was carried-yeas. 65; nays, As
and thus the day of woman suffrage in
Missouri is postponed at least two
years. Mr. Carter made good fight

The bill introduced by Mr.. Gernez. of
st. Louis, providing for the establish
| ment of state board of pharmacy, was
| called up in the house yesterday, and
after long debate was ordered en-
crossed by a vote of 75 to 46. The bill
is an important one, and if enacted will
be of vital interest to the druggists of
the state. 1t provides for the appoint
ment by the governor of a pharmacy
board, to be composed OF five persons,
two of whom shall hold Office for one
year and three for two years. The
board is to have power to examine and
issue certificates to all persons who
desire TO engage in the drug business,
and no person who fails to pass sue
cessful examination is to be permitted
to put up physicians prescriptions OF
sell poisons for medical use. Every
pharmacist must annually re-
new his certificate of registration,
and all druggists arc to be held re.
sponsible for the quality of all drugs
they sell except those disposed of in
original packages. Section IS of the
bill provides that no druggist shall
sell or give away Intoxicating liquor:
in a less quantity than four gallons
except on written prescription from
some regularly registered physician
and such prescription must contain thu
name of the person for whom the in
toxicating liquor is prescribed Viola
tion of the provisions of this section
to be punished by revocation of tn
certificate of registration of the OF
fender and q fine not exceeding $500
1t is expected that if the bill become
a law it will assist materially in driv
ing ont of business the host of person
who conduct alleged drug stores TO
the sole purpose of selling whisky with
out paying saloon license.

some doubt if the assembly will consen
! to make such an appropriation ut thi
