turning the switch near Independ-

wrecking the Little Rock and Wichita
express on the Missouri Pacific rail-

that he had scared them after an ex.

TO BAR MISSOURI NEGROES.
A Qualification Franchise Measure at
Jefferson City.

Jefferson City. Jan. 12.-Repre-
sentative Brown, at the opening OF
the house this afternoon, introduced
a joint and concurrent resolution
that ut the next general election il
shall be submitted to the voters, that
no person shall be allowed to vote in
Missouri, unless he can read and
write the English language. The
voter shall also, as now, be over 81
years old, have lived in the state a
year, in the city eleven months and
in his ward and precinct ten days.
The resolution is looked upon as i'm
portsnt because, II the people vote
for it in the majority, thousands of
negroes will be disqualified, as well as
a great many foreign-born whites.
The Clay amendment, as it was
called two years ago, wasintroduced
in the house this afternoon by Colonel
Green Clay, of Audrain county. In
its new form it is considerably differ
ent from the measure discussed two
years ago. 1t creates a board OF
state officers the same as the present
board OF equalization and provides
that 1.-THE power OF tax corporations
and corporate property, including
franchises, shall not be surrendered
or suspended by act OF the general
assembly and no taxes or revenuefor
state purposes shall be levied or col
lected from any source or sources
other than from taxes upon corpora
tons engaged in public service, in
Guiding taxes upon their franchises,
taxes on foreign insurance companies
license and Inheritance tax, income
taxes and from fines and forieitures
and from state inspection fees and
fees OF public officers"
The reference to the income tax is
new. Colonel Clay thinks Missouri
is not ready for an income tax, but
that it will not be many years before
such law will be in effect in this
state.
Representative Golden introduced
a proposition to amend the state
constitution to elect the United
States Senator by direct vote OF the
people.
Representative Murphy, OF st.
Louis, introduced a bill in the house
to-day providing for compulsory
education. 1t provides that children
must attend school at least three
months out Of each year up to the
age Of Ia years. Failure to send
childrn to school for this length OF
time subjects the parents to fire and
Imprisonment.

distressing forms Of itching, burning
and scaly humours, permits rest and

all other remedies fail. 1t Is especially
so in the treatment of infants and chill
dren, cleansing, soothing and healing
the most distressing Of infantile hu-
mours, and preserving, purifying and

Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying the
simple wants Of the toilet, in caring for
the skin, scalp, hair and hands from in
fancy to age, far more effectually,
agreeably and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients.

were pressed into service to help un-

The Rusine.s Side.

So much stress is placed on science
in agriculture of late years. that a
young man might almost suppose the
books, bulletins and wise addresses tell
the whole story about farming. The
reason so much is constantly being said
and written about the how and why
of the latest methods and newest
ideas in farming is because these are
all that can easily be taught.
Fondness for hard work and a level
head, full of business sense, cannot be
acquired from bulletins or gathered
from expert advisers The new ideas
help the brain and spare the hands,
but farming is still much more a bust
ness than a science. Now, as always,
hustle and good Judgment are better
than q head full Of new notions with
out these qualities. System, order.
promptness, honesty, shrewdness, econ
omy, self-cOntrol, tact TO manage work
men. all such are strictly business
qualities, and are likewise the foun-
dation of any great success in farm
impart most Of these essentials, hence
the experiment stations say nothing
about them. But they are as import
ant as ever. An engineer without a
locomotive and steam will not get on
very fast, neither will expert agricul-
tural knowledge succeed without bust
ness qualities.
