jar In question she discovered a long. dark
object which had all the appearance OF a
snake. Was she frightened? Some. But
only for a moment. Reassurlng herself that
IL was impossible for a live snake TO be in
her pickles, she investigated With a long
fork she brought forth a rubber band. seven
inches in diameter. nearly th-ree-quarters cf
an inch wide, and an eighth OF an inch In
thickness. Being cut IL measured eighteen
inches In length. The elasticity Of the rub

ST. CLAIR COUNTY DEBT
TAXPAYERS MAY EFFECT A CON-
PROMISE WITH BONDHOLDERs,
And the Judges BE Thereby Enabled
to Come In Out of the Brush With
out Fear of Arrest.

OSCEOLA, Mo-, May 6.-St. Clair county
judges may soon be able to come in out
Of the brush without falling in the hands
of United States marshals and being
dragged off TO Kansas City TO pass the re-
mainder OF their official existence in jail.
The fight between the citizens of ST. Clair
county and the holders of the railroad bonds
issued by the county twenty-nine years ago
was brought within the range of compro-
mise to-day. In a delegate convention held
in the opera house in Osceola 175 repre-
sentatives of the taxpayers in every town
ship decided by a vote of SO to So to permit
their county judges to submit the question
of compromise Of the debt to a vote of the
people. This proposition to the electorate
decided upon by the convention gives the
judges and the people small discretion. It
provides that the question voted upon shall
be this: Shall the railroad bond debt be
compromised for 1921 COP
The amount owed by the people of the
county on judgments rendered by the
United States Supreme Court Is 81 10000.

judges a chance to sleep indoors once more
If the debt were settled. Therefore, they

the bondholders. When the bonds were is

United States marshals. but from the peo-
pie. Four years later a tax levy was made
to pay the interest on the bonds. 1t was
levied again in 1875. 1876 and in 1877. The
night before the County Court made the
levy in 1877 citizens seized the court records
and destroyed the pages on which the order
for the levy was written and later burned
the book in the public square. The County
Court consists of a bench of three judges,
but no court has ever been elected that
would make the levy since 1877 and no per-
son has ever had the hardihood to bid on
property offered for sale for taxes. Ever
since 1887 the judges have been passing their
terms of office either in jail or in the caves
and forests of the county. Six successive
judges have been in Jail. The present bench
