these cities the water works and
other bonds now issued and there
by permits the issuance by said
cities of bonds to the amount of
five per cent of the taxable prop
erty excluding the present issue of
bonds.
The sixth amendment permits
cities of over 100, 900 inhabitants
to levy for school purposes sixty
cents on the 800 valuation instead
of forty cents as now. 1t does not
change the rate in districts of less
than 100 900 inhabitants. These
amendments apply exclusively to
the cities named, are imperative
and should be adopted.
The seventh amendment has
reference to township Organiza-
ton. The constitution now pro-
vidcs that any county may have
township organization whenever Il
majority Of the legal voterz OF
said county at any general election
may SO determine. The amend
ment adds the words upon that
proposition so that any township
organization whenever majority
of the legal voters of said county
voting upon that proposition a
any general election may so deter
mine. The amendment should b,
adopted.
The eighth amendment provides
that any city containing not more
than 10000 nor less than 20,0Ot
inhabitants, may exceed the pres
ent constitutional limit for bond
of five per cent, to an additional
five per cent for the purpose o
purchasing or constructing wateI
works, electric or other light plants
to be owned by the city. To ere
ate such additional indebtedness
requires the assent of two-third
of the voters at a special election
held for the purpose. The amend
ment permits municipal owner

cities where it is now impossible
1t should be adopted.
The eight amendments may b.
summed up thus: Four have ref
erence exclusively to taxation il
cities of over 10O,0 900 inhabitants
one protects the school fund, on
repeats the mortgage amendment
one has reference to township or

FIVE PLAYERS STOOD PAT.
One OF the Most Extraordinary Series
of Poker Hands on Record.

Inner club circles have been RECALLED

Clubmen took part. says the Baltimore
Sun. 1t was at the home of one OF the
members. Two new packs Of cards
we're brought out, the seal Of one was
cut and the cards shutIied, From this
pack cards were dealt around to select
the dealer for the opening hand, This
done, the second pack OF cards was
opened and shuflled by one of the par
ty, who handed 1t to the dealer, who
also shufllcd. The pack was then ten
dcred for the usual cut which was
done. a round OF jackpots had been
agreed upon. The player who had first
say was an insurance man, and he
promptly opened. Next was a grain
merchant who raised the opener. A
member of the Stock Exchange came
next and he saw the raise and went the
limit better. A merchant well known
for his aggressive spirit sat next III
line and he quietly met all that had
been bet and raised the limit. 1t was
now around to railroad man. who
was the dealer There was a pause and
each player inspected his cards with q
self-satisfed air, The railroad mar
broke the silence by meeting all bets
and raising them the limit. Every

1.-THE talent of a young negro
for making noise is absolutely in
vincible," says an exchange. ut
would be impossible to conceive of
any set of circumstances which
would defeat it. He might be
dumb and blind, yet he would find
IA club to belabor a telephone or a
rock to beat the sidewalk. 1t is a
means of pleasure and delight of
which he never tires. A small me-
gro with a big steel spike was seen
and heard a few days ago pounding
the stone window sill of a new
business block. He kept this up
for full hour without a moments
cessation. If he had been requir-
ed to put forth that much effort
for any useful purpose he would
have howled with anger. The
power of perfectly worthless and
idle persons to annoy people with
that sort of racket is incredible.
1t is done, apparently without the
semblance of an object, but the
interchangeable persistence with
which it is carried on forces the
conclusion that it must be prompt
ed by cunning knowledge of the
irritation it creates.

DELAYED the Malls.

Sistersville, w. Va, Aug. IS
a novel scheme for making trouble
for passenger who refused to pay
his fare was tried successfully on
Mr.. Kore Queen, prominent OIL
man, by an Ohio River Railroad
conductor last night. Mr.. Queen
had been down to James Run, Il
flag station where there is neither
station nor ticket office. He flag
ged the evening train and boarded
it for Parkcrshurg.
When the conductor came to
collect the fare MIR. Queen refused
to pay the ten cents extra which
the company requires where the
passenger has no ticket, Finally
the conductor stopped the train
and Mr.. Queen, rather than he put
off, paid under protest. At Park
crsburg the conductor reported to
the railway officials that Mr.. Queen
had held up the train ten minutes.
The officials reported the matter to
the United States authorities III
explanation of the delay of the
mails, and the local commissioner
ordered Mr.. Queen arrested,
The order of arrest was not exc
cuted because Mr.. Queen cannot
afford to run away. The proceed
ings were novel aud Mr.. Queen, in
any event, will test the right OF
the railroad to charge an extra
fare merely because it does not
provide facilities for passengers to
buy tickets.

CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS.

Eight amendments to the con-
stitution of Missouri will be pass
ed upon by the qualified voters of
the State at the general election of
1902. Never before have so many
amendments been submitted by
the general assembly at the same
time.
The first amendment repeats the
third or mortgage amendment
adopted by the people last Novem-
Der. If the United States supreme
court does not reverse the opinion
of the Missouri court i'll declaring
the mortgage amendment invalid
there will be no need for its re-
peal. II will have already been
repealed.
The second amendment should
be adopted 1t is the school fund
amendment, Under its provisions
the State interest tax will be re-
duced, when the present bonded
debt is paid, from ten cents to
three cents. The three cents will
be used for payment of the inter
est upon the present certificates of
| indebtedness and such future GER
tifcates as may be provided for to
be used for the school and semi
nary fund,
The third amendment should be
adopted. 1t has reference only to
the city of st. Louis, permitting
that city to levy for municipal
purposes additional taxes as would
be allowed for county purposes if
said city were part of the county.
The wrctchcd condition of public
improvements in st, Louis makes
this essential.
The fourth amendment provides
n method for the amendment Of
the st. Louis charter.
The fifth amendment applies to
st. Louis and Kansas City. 1t
removes from consideration in
computing the bonded debt of
