.Audrain to be Taken Out of the
Kansas City Court Of Appeals
Distriet-Other Legisia-
tive Matters.

Correspondence of the Ledger,
JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, Feb, IA
The Senate to-day passed the bill
taking Audrain county out OF the
Kansas City Court of Appeals and
putting it IN the jurisdiction Of the
st. Louis Court Of Appeals, and now
it only requires the signature OF the
Governor to become a Law.
The action Of the committee in
regard to the Wiekham investiga-
ton last night excited a good deal
Of comment and to-day Mr.. Coots
introduced a resolution requesting
the speaker to appoint a committee
Of five members from the House and
to empower them to bring persons
and papers before them. The COM
mittee is composed of Coots oil
Platte, Davidson of Marion, Coffman
of Scott, Rust of Kansas City and
Russell of Crawford. They met
this afternoon but took no evidence.
Win meet again tomorrow night
when it is suspected they will get
down to business. There's a strong
suspicion that the whole thing was
started by Chief Clerk Smell and
that he is pushing the matter out
OF personal enmity to Wickham.
The Wolfe investigation commit
toe has not done anything yet so far
as the writer can learn. The feeling
among a large number of members
is that while they may not endorse
Wolfe's position on the institute law
and other matters of that kind they
still have confidence in his honesty
and integrity. The Republicans
too, are always ready to fan any
quarrels that come up in the Demo
cratic party.
The bill to take away the charter
from the School of Osteopathy al
Kirksvills was up for engrossment
to-day and after a spirited discus
sion was tabled by a vote to table
an amendment offered which finally
disposes of the bill, so far as The
House is concerned. The Houseal
so ordered the Fish Bill to engross
ment. The bill prohibits killing
fish by dynamite or other explosive
matter in fact, prevents taking fish
in any way except by hook and line
The bill also compels parties pur
chasing dynamite to make affidavit
as to what use they are going to pu
it and allows a fee Of twenty-five
cents to the person taking the aft
davit.
Representative Coots, of Platte, in
troduced a bill making 1t unlawful
to sell or give away a cigarette ii

of State, to appoint Mrs. Lease Sec.

ments reported favorably on a bill
fixing maximum freight rates. Tn
bill simply fixes rates to be charged
lowering the statutory scale in SOM
instances and in others raising it.

We understand that a movement
is on foot to submit local option to
a vote of this county outside of Mex
leo. In order to do this it will be
necessary to present to the County
Court a petition on which shall be
the names Of one tenth of the voters
outside of the city. This means
that when a petition is presented to
the Court. containing about four
hundred names Of those living out
side the city of Mexico asking for
the Court to submit the question of
local option to a vote, the Court will
so order.

A COLOSSAL BIBLICAL sPECrACL
Presented by JOhn RobInson's Worlds
Exposition,

The era of Solomon, the Isrealitish
king, has ever been fraught with an
interest that will last through ages.
There was SO much that was grand, go
so much that was sumptuous Sc much
that WAS prophetic, so much that was
sacred, SO much that was divine at
tending and consequent to his reign,
that history furnishes no parallel. Art
has now been called into requisition as
'adventitious aid to biblical lore, and
the glamour and glOries OF the past are
reproduced in the present. The emf
nent artist, Mr.. John Rettig has de-
voted year or more to personal re-
search in Palestine, Jerusalem and the
Holy Land, and has studiously master
ed the history and traditions OF the
Bible and returning has produced the
grand spectacular masterpiece depict
ing the great temple, the walls and the
city of Jerusalem, the visit of the Queen
of Sheba, the judgment of Solomon and
other notable scenes, incidents and
events, during the regal administration
of the great Hebrew sage, patriarch
and king. In connection with the big
gest and best circus ON the road the

Rev. G.. A. Macintosh, pastor of the
Presbyterian church. The beautiful
ring ceremony was used. Harold Hill
debrand, the little nephew of the bride,
acted as page. The parlor was eie-
gantly decorated with flowers. The
wedding tokens from friends at home
and abroad were beautiful expressions
OF love.
Prof. and Mrs. Fleisher left this af-
ternoon for Chicago to be gone for ten
days where they will visit the Worlds
Fair. On their return they will be lat
home" to their friends at the Westcott
residence on State street. Prof.
