S.
The rock and foundation on the
West Guthrie site sold TO Vandenburg
for $40 The money for the sale of
rock will go toward planting trees in
the West Guthrie school square after

A petition was pre- sented by Mr..
Dodd from citizens asking that two
representatives from the districts adj
jacent TO the city be appointed to sit
on the school board. The petition set
forth the fact that the assessed valua.
tion outside of the city was 81, l0d

This makes the political complexion
of the board very varied.

routine business the board adjourned.

SEVERAL years ago certain cOun-
ties In Southwestern Missouri were
bonded for the construction of rail-
road. The road was never built, but
the bonds had been floated and sold.
When they became due most of them
were in the hands OF innocent par
ties. Payment was refused by the
counties on the ground that they
could not be made to settle for some
thing they had never received. The
courts, however, decided the bonds
had been purchased in good faith by
those holding them, and that there
fore were a valid obligation, even IL
the projectors Of the road had de-
frauded the counties. Further liti-
CATION followed, but finally the judges
of the counties were commanded by
the United States District Court to
levy assessments for payment Of the
bonds. The judges OF st. Clair Coun-
ty refused to make the levy, and were
thereupon sent to jail for contempt.
Their successors also refused to obey
the court and we're imprisoned. The
other day Judge Lyons became in
sane. Judge Copenhaven, his prede-
cessor, is dying, and the wife and
daughter of the latter have become
insane from the shock OF his impris-
onment. Although the innocent
holders of the bonds in question
should not lose their money, still the
case Of the offending judges is assum-
ing such tragic features that some
way should be devised for their re-
lief. II they could be released and
the projectors of the railroad impris-
oned in their stead, there would be
more of equity in sight than there is
at present. 1t would seem that some
sort OF compromise should be ar
ranged between the counties and
bondholders; otherwise imprisonment
may follow imprisonment, as 1t is
certain no judge elected In St Clair
County will ever levy any assessments
of the proportions they are now.

SCOTCH home rule makes progress.
The adoption by the British Com
mons of Sir George Trevelyan's reso-
luton providing for the reference Of
all purely Scottish measures to COM
mittee consisting Of the seventy-two
Scotch and fifteen English members
is long step forward. 1t was fol-
lowed up by the introduction OF the
local government bill for Scotland,
which, as soon as 1t has passed the
second reading, will be referred to
this committee of eighty-seven for
report The report will doubtless be
adopted. The full House will thus
be saved the wearisome committee
debates, and the Scotch members will
trim and shape the measures to suit
themselves. The Tories bitterly OBJ
posed Trevelyan's resolution, because
they fully understand that II Scottish
measures are to be referred to com.
mittce Of Scotch members, Irish
measures must from the very logic of
things be referred to the Irish mem
bcrs, who are more radical even than
the Scotch members, and who now
stand eighty.four Liberals to nine

Protecting Corn.

There are several modes OF pro-
tecting corn from the depredatlOns
of crows One of the simplest is to
coat the seeds with tar. Place a
half bushel OF the seeds in a basket
and pour on hot water enough to
moisten and heat all the seeds; then
Immediately apply pint OF pine tar
and stir the whole rapidly for some
time. Every seed will thus become
coated. and IL. a quantity
of air-slacked lime is then ap.
piled it will render 1t dry
and easily handled. The crows
will pull up the plants in order to
eat the seed, but coming in contact
with the tarred seed they are thor
oughly disguised with its flavor and
the remainder will be untouched.
Another mode is to strett h white
Irvine zigzag across the fed. The
crows will not touch the plants
fenced in on two sides or within an
angle. Another mode is TO scatter
corn on top of the ground oyer night,
which they will devour IL in SUM-
Gent quantity ana leave the planted
seed. A fourth mode is TO employ a
man with gun and a dollars worth
OF powder and shot. take his meals
with him and cont nue. In the field a
