Home-seekers will be greatly en-.
couraged by the announcement that
the interior department will soon
throw open for settlement about a mil.
lion acres Of land which formerly be-
longed to the Crow Indian reservation
In Montana. Opportunities to secure
homes by entering upon government
lands are growing fewer as the coun-
try fills up, says the Milwaukee Even
Ing Wisconsin, and in a comparatively
short time the land rushes will be
"reminiscences to which future "old.
timers" may point as experiences that
will never again be enjoyed by new
corners.

Senate for Submission.

Jefferson City.-Three Democratic
senators, McDavid, Mayer and Brad
ley, assert positively that, regardless
Of whether the senate committee on
constitutional amendments makes q
favorable report on the proposed pro-
hibition amendment or not, that the
senate would vote to submit the ques-
ton Of prohibition to the people.
Eighteen Democratic senators and
three Republican senators are certain
to support the amendment, and 1t may
get other Republican votes, they said.
The three men polled the senate
with the following result:
For the Submission of Prohibition:
Democrats-Allee, Anthony, Bradley,
Buford, Chinn, Doris, Dowell, Dru-
merit. Fields, Humphreys, Lane, Nc
David, Major, McAllister, oliver Stark
and Wilson. Republicans-Booth
Grimes and Peck and probably Eads
and Hudson.
Against the Submission-Anderson,
Brogan, Kinney, Krone, Methudy,
Prendergast of st. Louis, Casey and
Greene of Kansas City, Malang of Jas
per county, Gardner of st. Louis coun-
ty and Hall of Pettis county.
1t is up to the prohibitionists to
make their fight in the house, accord
ing to the members of the senate. In
that body they are likely to encounter
greater and more determined opposi-
ton. 1t is believed, however, the
house will vote to submit the ques-
ton.

tor, Ed Willer; assessor, w. Huters;

the most part men who are present

elected were Martin Balm, Willer Hut
ters and Whitelaw. The mayor elect

Senate Without a Quorum.

Jefferson City.-The state senate
was at work Friday with less
than quorum. There is little oppor-
tunity for passage of any Measure I'M

clear the calendar of all business other
than the final reading of bills.
The close majority of the Republi-
cans keeps both Democrats and Re-
publicans present. There also is
politics in the Democrats action, as
they expect to force immediate action
or the prohibition resolution which is
to be reported by the constitutional
amendments committee today.

A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO.
Twenty-four Carloads Purchased fol
Lewis Single Binder Cigar
Factory.

What is probably the biggest lot Of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has Just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is Sc
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis Single Binder Cigars will appre-
ciate this tobacco.

County Unit Bill Defeated.

Jefferson City.-Owing to failure to
receive a constitutional majority, the
county unit bill was killed when it
come up for passage in the house
Thursday. The vote for the bill was
&C to 60.
This is the first vote ON any of the
large questions taken in the house

Would Increase Tax Rate.

At the same time the proposed
amendment would increase the tax
rate to cover the costs of counties and
towns. The working of the present
constitution Is to be amended through
the new draft so that local divisions
may double their tax. The present con-
%stitution is not altered in the least in
phraselogy.
Under the draft that has been pre-
pared the rates vary according to the
valuation of property and the popula-
ton to towns.
Both branches of the legislature are
discussing liquor bills. In the senate
the ways and means committee re-
ported, without recommendation, the

of $50.

quake from fear. They realize that
unless they consent to some kind of
submission the prohibitionists can
force a submission through the initia-

With this in mind they have pre-
pared an amended resolution which
is to be submitted when the house
committee on constitutional amend
ments takes up the Killion joint and
