POWER TO LEVY CITY TAXES
Important Opinion Handed Down by the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May 29.-The
case of the Lamar Water and Electric
Light Co. as. the city of Lamar was de-
cided yesterday in an opinion written
by Chief Justice Black of the supreme
court. This is most important Opin-
ion to cities of the second, third and
fourth classes in this state, as the tax
ing authority of such municipalities is
involved in the suit. which was brought
by the water-wOrks company to re-
cover So, 300 for rental of fire hydrants.
Judge Black holds that under the con-
stitution 80 cents on the 500 valuation
is all that can be levied, except to pay
Indebtedness contracted prior to the
adoption of the constitution or for the
erection of public buildings. He fur
ther holds that the so cents on the
valuation includes all taxes and there
fore the special tax of 40 cents on the
500, levied by the city of Lamar for
water works, is unconstitutional, and
the contract under the ordinance passed
by the city council of Lamar is void.
He says that if cities cannot have
water works save by violating the law
of the land they must go without them.

LIVELY RUNAWAY.
DR.. Bray Thrown From His Carriage On
Free Street.

Yesterday morning Dr.. Bray started
from his house driving new horse.
With him was his colored driver, but the
doctor held the reins himself. No soon
er was the horse out of the yard than he
became unmanageable and ran rapidly
down Free street. The doctor could not
hold the frightened animal, so he gave
one rein to his driver, but their united
strength was of no avail.
At the corner of Centre street the car
rage struck telegraph pole and threw
both men out. The doctor was badly
bruised on the back and legs, but was
able to walk home. His injuries are not
serious, but he will be lame for some
weeks. The driver was more severely
shaken up, and it was feared he was
seriously injured, but it turns out that
he is severely bruised and that no bones
are broken. The horse continued along
until he smashed the carriage to pieces.
