JEFFERSON CITY. March e9.-(special.)
Tho effect of the Democratic caucus was
noticeable to-day when Jones. Republican.
of Howell. moved to tax up his BIZ. ai-
propr!ating the county foreign insurance
tax for 1891. 1888. 1883 and 1900 and distrib-
uting the same among the counties where
1t belongs. by law.
The caucus decided last night to let the
tax for 1898 and 1890 remain in the state
treasury to help fill up the deficit; and
hence the Democrats promptly voted dow
Jones motion--lS to 20. Upon the announce
ment Of the vote a significant Dialogue took
place between Jones and Hall. a Democrat
from Saline.
Jones-"I now serve notice that I shall
call uD this bill again Tomorrow:
Hall-"All right: we'll try to be here"
The caucus also had its effect on the sem
ate. The Orchard dramshop bill. taking 800
from the county on each license and Civ
ing 1t to the state. was killed to-day-S to @.
The six votes cast for the bill are all
Democrats Senators Farris. McClintic,
Marshall. Orchard, yandivcr and Whaley.
These Democrats have thus refused to be
bound by the caucus. which decided last
night to kill this bill.
The Orchard bill was drawn to conform
with the plan recommended by Auditor
Seibert for replenishins the exhausted rev.
enue fund. 1t was made a caucus meas
ure and an effort WAS made to pass the
bill, but when the protests came in from
the counties the Democrats retreated like
something had hit them. The Republicans
have thus succeeded in forcing the Demo-
Gratis to abandon this scheme 10 plumber
county funds.
The house held its first night session to-
night. II was not held by action of the
house. but by an arbitrary ruling of the
speaker. The motion to take a recess un-
til 7:30 o'clock was clearly voted down four
to one. but the speaker declared It carried
and disregarded the demand for a division.
Ward calls his rulings. an application of
Reeds rules. but the attempt of a man of
Wards diminutive proportions to initiate
the big gun from Maine only serves to
make him ludIcrous. The Republicans
taught him 4 lesson tonight that he will
probably not forget. He probably learned
that comparisons with Speaker Reed are
not to the advantage of Speaker Ward.
After the Republicans had wearied the
speaker by dilatory motions. Woods. OF
Mercer. scored him in a neat speech for
refusing to permit members to cast a vote
and have that vote counted. The house
then adjourned.
The only thing of importance lone to-
night was to order engrossed a bill prevent
ing the foreclosure OF chattel mortgages on
household goods and sewing machines until
three-fourths OF the amount originally paid
for the goods shall have been returned.

Always dry slices of bread cut for toast

For boiled fish the correct garnish is
parsley interspersed with thin slices of
lemon.
Sugar in the water with which veal is
basted gives an added favor. 1t may be
used with all meats.

are over one-quarter of an inch long.

they are hot. They will not cool the jar
you are sealing up then. and there is
