The people Of Missouri are to be
congratulated upon the work of the
legislature. Iregret that one or two
measures pending before that body
did not receive the favorable action
Of both houses, but Substantially all
the laws enacted are in the interest of
the people.
"The opinions" the governor said,
4 then expressed are unchanged, ex-
cept as to one law, which, although
involving a correct principle, is un-
necessarily cumbrouS in its opera
tions.
Among the imporantlaws enacted
by the general assembly may be enoted
the following;
"The law proyidIngfmthe taxation
Of franchises; the law creating the

to the modified beer law, passed at
the last session. That law has proven
to be a most satisfactory revenue

'TThe state has already collected
frcm beer inspection fees s46l, 643.O1,
Of which $2Ol, s41.SS accrued prior to
the passage Of the modified law. The
so-called back tax on beer is clear
gain to the treasury, as there was no
provision of law under which it could
have been collected prior to the enact
ment Of the modified law. The beer
law is an inspection measure, aud the
fees imposed by it are inspection
fees. 1t was not, therefore, possible
to lawfully enforce the collection Of
inspection fees after the consumption
Of the beer The thanks Of the people
are especially due the legislature for
the passage Of this measure, because
without IL there would have been an
appeal to the supreme court Of the
United States and a yexing delayo Of at
least two years, during which time
the state would have derived no rev
enue from this source.

H. Sinauer, the popular clothier,
has moved into his new quarters, the
commodious downstairs room recently
vacated by Philip Keller, and now
has one Of the prettiest and most
conveniently arranged clothing stores
in Missouri. The room is much larger
than the one recently vacated and
there Is an abundance Of light. His
tailoring department. is upstairs and
for substantial and fashionable work
cannot be surpassed.
For twenty-five years Henry
Sinauer has been in the clothing and
gents furnishing goods business in
Lexington aud has succeeded in firmly
establishing himself in the confidence
Of the people by strict attention to
business and maintenance Of the
strictest integrity and fairness 10 all
his business dealings. His are not
the "cut and slash" methods Of
selling goods but rather the more
substantial aud better plan Of making
one price and sticking to it no matter
who the purchaser may be. AS a
matter Of course at periods he has
his discount sales, the same as all
other merchants, but this is the
exception aud not the rule.

A Happy Birthday.
Farmer.

Samuel Casper, residing six miles
northeast of Plymouth, celebrated bis
57th birthday last Sunday.
His children and grand children,
twenty-nine in number, with some
neighbors and friends simply went
'.home" to dinner, and re-lived with
father and mother the events that to
them were principal in their lives.
Mr. Casper's experiences as an early
settler in Marshall county were no
doubt very much like those-of many
Others, who settled upon farms, yet as
he reviewed them now in the past and
on this pleasant occasion, there was
left much more of joy than Of pain in
his memory.
The children and friends all accept
ed an invitation to visit them again
next year and again the next, and SO
un-though God may may not spare
all of them to another meeting of this
kind, but their memories may be TAX
en- there and it still be reunion OF
them all.
1t was a pleasant day, that will be
remembered and an occasion that drew
closer the bonds that bind the family
together.
