Injustice to Missouri Cities.

While the Assembly refused to tax
franchises. it did not absOlve the cities
of Missouri from their share OF the
expense of the state government. The
famous beer bill taxes all beer manu-
factured in the state and sold at home
and ali beer made elsewhere and sold
in Missouri lc for each gallon of beer,
in barrels or bottles, and &c extra for
each eight gallons or less in one bar
rel, and for each package of forty
eight pint or twenty-four quart bottles
or less. The estimate of revenue for
this beer tax is $500, 900 Il year.
While the law pretends to be for the
purpose uf inspecting beer to enforce
the clause that ali beer must be brewed

pertinent of the Logansport and Wa.
bash Valley Gas Company of employ.
ing acetylene for municipal lighting
in this city, ended disastrously last
night. when the gas works were blown
to pieces by the ignition of the gas.
The retorts had been charged with
calcium carbide and water. and Geo.

ployes. had left the building. when
there was dsafening roar, and a
cloud of roofing and brick and a mass
of dark red flame skyward.
Nothing is left of the building or
apparatus. and the loss will run into
the thousands.
This was the first experiment ever
made on a large scale with the new
gas.
