There is nothing made that will

Sage to cure dandruff; stop itching
scalp and falling hair, or money

the hair and gives it a radiant

City Bonds Are Favored.


Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. rs. The
Senate Committee on Municipal
Corporation today submitted fav-
Orable report on Senator Green's
bill exempting municipal bonds
from taxation. This is deemed a
matter Of no small importance by
those who know something about
finances. 1t IS said that such law
would greatly enhance all munich
pal securities now III existence and
cause those issued in the future to
bring a mucn higher premium.
The claim is made that 50 long
as these securities are made JaA4ole
,hat they will Be markc.et llrtely
away from home, and at d much
less rate of interest CHAN would be
the case should Senator Green's
bill become a Law.
The bonded Indebtedness of the
cities and towns of the State on the
1st Of last January was, approXi-
mately S3O,235,OOO. Officials say
that a very small per cent Of these
bonds are ever taxed, for the reason
that they are largely held outside
the State. The bulk of them, it is
believed, would to-day be owned by
MisSOurianS were it not for the fact
that they are taxable. What is
true of municipal bonds is doubtless
true OF other bonds issued ny coun-
ties, school districts, etc. Last year
more than S1,50O000 Of county
bonds were issued aAd S3306100
of bonds for cities and towns. The
county and OWnship bonds now
outstanding amount to S5,064,806
May Abolish Jim Crow" Cars
Washington, Jan. %. AS the
result of an option handed down
by Judge Sanford of the United
States Court for the Middle District
of Tennessee the question of Jim
Crow" cars in the South may be
reopened before the Interstate Com.
mission and their disContinuance
ordered. Judge Sanford overruled
the demurrer of the Southern roads
denying the power of the commits
sion to promulgate an order
requiring the roads to provide the
same Accommodations in Jim Crow"
cars as in other cars. Unless the
railroads now comply With this
order it is thought that the COM
mission will have no alternative
but to order the Jim Crow" cars

the time came he signed the bill.
1t was about that time the Gene
Field, who was a representative of
some paper, wrote that poetry about
Sam Davis and the rat. l guess
everybody pretty nearly has read it.
My rat bill became a law, but en-
joyed a certain sort of reputation
that | have been trying to live
down ever since
The county courts of Bates and
Andrews thought the law was man
datary. They issued a proclamation
offering five cents reward for rat
scalps, paying no attention to the
number. The result was people
quit everything in order to kill rats
and after ali the rats in those coun-
ties we're killed and sold to the
county courts they began breeding
them in Kansas and Iowa to sell to
Bates and Andrews counties at S
cents ahead. 1t took every cent in
he treasures of those two countiest
to pay for the rat scalps, and when
the next election came around the
two men who ran for representa-
tive were elected on a platform
pledged to repeal the rat law.
There was a curious thing hap
pened in Saline County. Just about
the time | wrote my bills the rats
there disappeared; we're killed off
/ by some sort of disease. We were
never bothered with them any more
III that county. Every rat left just
as though 1t had been struck by
lightning.
When the representatives from
Bates and Andrew counties began
to get busy with their anti-rat law
| did too on the other side By this
time you understand | had taken d
little pIide in my bill and | didn't
want it killed. | went to Jefferson
City and by some efforts among my
friends managed to defeat the bills
repeating the law. The bill stood
for eleven years, when Chang
Clark finally went to the legislature
and got bill through repeating all
those laws offering bountieS for the
killing Of small animals.
1T was many d day. however, be.
fore got rid OF the reputation,
which the rat bill gave me. Some
inventive Yankee wrote to me, stat
ing that he had made a Sure-thing
rat trap and that if | would let him
call it by'my name he would pay
me a royalty on his sales.
One day a farmer friend of Ed
BartOnS visited the state capitol
and was shown through all the
buildings of interest. Barton took
him 10 the state house, the COVER
nor's mansion, the penitentiary and
every place he could think of and
finally brought him back to the
hotel. The farmer looked unsatis-
fed.
What's the matter with you?"
asked Barton; haven't you seen
everything you could See?.
No, l amt! said the farmer;
the biggest thing you got here you
have not showed me yet
What is it?'

The Rat Plague.

ern counties OF Missouri suffered
from a terrible plague of rats, the
worst / ever heard of" remarked
Judge Samuel Davis, who is trying
case in circuit court this week as
special judge. Il had seen the rats
climb upon corn stalks and devour
the grain They burrOwed grea
holes into the ground 80 that horses
in crossing a field would sink down
to their knees almost. They would
gnaw their way into cupboards and
run across the floors at night in
great battalionS. Of course they
were slaughtered by the thousands
and their CarcaSses thrown into
raVines and placed in great heaps
l was young man then with an
ambition to 90 to the legislature My
county sympathized with that am
bition, and l made nay initial ap-
pearance as a legislator. Everybody
had pocketful of bills to regulate
everything under the sun, and one
day | told Sam Majors, who was in
the senate that | believed | would
put in a bill that would extermi-
nate the rats. Majors laughed at
me, but good naturally told me to
60 ahead. He never thought |
would do it, | reckon. 1t got talked
around about the capitol that Sam
Davis from Saline was going to out

provide that rat scalps would be
paid for at five cents per head only
when delivered by one person in
quantities of 500 and that it was
optional with county courts whether
