a BOYS CHASTITY D1sCOvERY.-At Pitts
burg Tuesday Il German carpenter named
Peter Wcinkauf killed his wife by first
striking her down with baseball bat and
then cutting her throat with an lS.inch
butcher knife. After accomplishing his aim
he cut his onw throat. nearly scvcring his
head from the trunk, with the same weapon
used to dispatch his wife No one was pre-
sent when the double crime w;Ls committed
but shortly atierward Il lineccn-ycar-ods son
of Wcinkalll entered the house and found
the couple lying dead on the floor in Il great
pool of blood. lIc hurried down stairs, lock-
ing the door, and ut once notified the police
authorities Wcinkauf was man of consid-
cradle property and the woman was his sec
ond wife. BY i former wife he had five
children. the oldest being twenty-thrce years
of age. The cause ofthc murder is attribut-
cd to the fact that his second wife some time
ago induced him to sign adced conveying
her all of his property part Of which had
been left him by his first wife in trust for
the children. The couple had lived unhap-
PLY for some time and on Monday it is said
Mrs Weinkauf had stated that she intend

THE DOG QUEsTIoN.-Now that the fish
question has ceased to disturb the public
mind, the great dog question comes TO the
front. The law levies tax on sail persons
owning or intending to keep any animal Of
the dog or canine species" and on all per-
SONS "harboring one or more dogs on his. or
their premises" The tax for the present
year, commencing the lst of June is one dol
lar and twenty-five cents for males, and one
dollar and scventy-tive cents for females,
The late dog census showed population
OF 3ll9 of these animals and yet for the past
year there were licensed only 3S females and
III males-a total of4G9, Il rather poor show
ing for the dogs. For the present year there
have been reported "a females and 342males.
Persons fail avail themselves of the udvan-
taSes OF Il license for various reasons. Some
say the dog is either too old or too young,
or nfirm, and therefore ought to be exempt.
Some have IA very little dog, just so
high. Some think Il dog ought not to
be taxed until he arrives at the
age of discretion and can vote. Some
arc only keeping Il dog few days for friend
who will call soon. Some say the dog stays on
their premises and wont leave when ordered away
ana thc! lecd the poor dog from motives of hu-
nianlty. Some persons send their dogs away for
the benefit Of their health, to return after the dog
cart has made its rounds or until the hunting
season arrives but unless the license has been aid
the law is cvaded and this no good citizen ought
to do.
The law says: "All persons owning or intend
ing to keep any animal Of the dog or cnniar species
| Or having one or more dogs on his or their prem
iseS ShaI pay tGr of one dollar and scvcnty y-ivc
cents for female and one dollar and twenty five
cents for Il male commencing June l. and ending
May 81, i'll each year. The law cxempts neither
old nor yonng. the halt, the lame. the blind the
deaf the rich and poor are all taxed alike and
those familiar with the subject say if the law j.,
fully complied with the additional revenue de-
rived from this source will hr very material

regret to notice q disposition upon the
part Of prominent conservative newspapers
to run John f. Massey as democratic Con-
gressman-at-large. The experiment will be
disastrous failure like that of advocating
Greeley for President. This is a conservative
county and has always done its duty faith
fully, but know that there are rery many
true men here who would regard the nomi-
nation Of Massey rs an insult and an out
rage, and who would resent it as such.
Massey, Malone and Riddleberger stink in
our nostrils with stencil which the fires of
"infurnum" itself cannot purify. 'Tgne
natura renovatur integra" may be applied
with some show of truth to Benedict Arnold
but never to either of the infomous trio
above named, and the writer (although a
plain and unintluencial man, and partially
disfranchised ut that )but expresses the views
of many others with whom he has conversed
when he says that he will allow his right
hand to resolve itself into primitive dust
before he will deposit ballot for one who
has stolen ''the livary of heaven in which
to serve the Devil'' or for Malone 1.-THE

The Naval Appropriation Bill.

TWO NEW CRUISERS AND SOME REPAIRING PROVIDED
FoR-IMPoRTANT CHANGES PROPOSED
The subcommittee OF the House committee on
appropriations have agreed upon naval appro-
priation bill, and the full committee has 1t under
consideration. As agreed upon by the sub-com-
mittee the bill provides for the building OF two new
last steel cruisers in accordance with the recon-
mendati0nS OF the naval advisory board The bill
prepared and reported some time ago by the naval
committee provided for six cruisers, one ram and
several torpedo boats, and the appropriations SUBJ
their bill. Provision is also made for finlshinS
the iron-clad MlantOnomah by placing upon her
steel-1aced turrets, and also for completing the
four other 1rOn-cladS An appropriation is Included
for beginning the construction OF breech-loading
rlhed ordnance. The bill makes large reduction
IN the civil establishment OF the navy, in contem-
piatlon or reduction OF the work done In the
navy yards. The amount to be expended I'm re-
pairing old wooden vessels is strictly limited. The
bill provides that old material shall be sold
and the money covered into the Treasury. All
officers OF the navy, except chaplains and sur
geonS, must hereafter be taken from the graduates
OF the naval academy, and only so many OF the
naming cadets are to be given one years pay and
an honorable discharge. Promotion TO the grade
OF rear admiral is to be from the grade OF captain
ana the grade OF commodore is to be allowed to
die out The retiring law Is made to apply to ad-
mtralS and vice admirals.
Secretary Chandler recently informed the COM
mittee that the cost OF completing the five from
clads would be 81, 2S7 1886, apd that OF this sum
$500, 600 ought to be expended in the next fiscal
year. Only $4,000 is needed for the Miantono-
NAH, but the cost for the remaining four ranges
from 100000 to 81 $50 900 each. Upon these iron
clads $35OO,OOO has been expended. The steel
cruisers OF the first class, recommended by the
advisory board, will cost, when completed, about
$1,SOO,0O0 each, and those OF the second class
about 81 ,4oO. 600. The total amount appropriated
the sum appropriated last year
LATER.-The full committee today adopted the
report OF the subconmittee and directed Mr. Robe
son to report the bill to the House Tor printing and
recOmmit.
