PAINT FARM Tools The Coi'n-
ioi farmer urges farmers to paint
up their machines, tools, and inple-
ments this Winter, and thereby not
only have them all ready when
wanted in the Spring, but actually
add to their value and durability. 1t
says, with much truth, that millions
of dollars are lost annually in the
United States by neglect to paint
farm wagons, plows, harrows, etc
These things, if well paiuted and
kept under cover when not in use,
will last two or three times as long
as they will when not repainted
after two or three years use. Any
farmer can paint these things. All
that is needed is Venetian red and
linseed oil, half raw and half boiled,
then wash the implement to be
painted thoroughly, and proceed to
TO apply the paint.

The Creighton Murder Triai-Ser-
diet of Mausiaug hter.

C1NCINNATI, December lS.-The jury
in the Creighton murder case, after u
deliberstion of 26 hours, returned yer-
dict of manslsughter at Y o'clock to-
dav, which is considered as compromise
verdict. The first vote stood four Tor
murder IN the first degree and eight for
the second degree, which was finally
changed TO ten tor scquittsl and two for
conviction, the latter two holding out to
the end. The particulars OF the murder
are substantially these: On the second
OF last January Henry Creighton wss
found dead in his house by the neigh
bors. aroused by his wife, who
confessed TO having killed him
in self defense, there being no witness but
Eddie Garland, her twelve year old son
bv her former husband. His wife Is be-
lieyei, according TO the testimony, to
have married the property rather than
the man, with whom she lived IN con-
tinusl warfare. On the morning OF his
dc.th she says he had chased her about
the house, shooting at her, and that final
~. with broad axe, drove ner to defend
herself. when she killed him by throwing
iron mortar and q nail pulier at nun.
The motion for - new trial by her
counsel is now being entertained by
Judge Wright.

ABOUT TAXES.

Wa are informed from Washington
tbs. the Ways and Means Committee do
,ot look with favor upon the proposition
3, restore the tax on tea and coffee; that
+, will recommend the reduction OF the
,sx on tobacco and whisky, and that 81
ss,rt will Do msde TO remove the stamp
.r,,v on bank checks. 1t strikes us thst
II of this proposed legislation is in the
wrong direction. The valuable indus
.ries OF the consumption of tobacco and
whisky are not languishing by virtue OF
ne heavy tax; the coffee and tea trade
,ould sford TO bear moderate share OF
he burdens OF the best government under
the sun. and the industrial pursuit
Of filing out and signing bank checks
will not be greatly stimulated by the re-
moysl of the moderate tax now resting
thereon. Therefore, we suggest to the
Wsys snd Means Committee 70 go slow.
