Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1882-07-20

Twenty-Five bottles of Mrs. Winslow's
soothing syrup will hereafter cost no
more than twenty-four did last year,
and the same deduction will be made
on porous plasters and liver pads.
What do the six millions of farmers
care for the five cents pound they are
taxed on sugar, the 50 per cent on
trace chains, woolen goods and the pa
pcrs and books they read, when they
are relieved of the 4 per cent on corn
pads, lip-salye, hair-dye and unguin-
tum?
But there is another class Interested
in this revised revenue bill The fol-
lowing are among the provisions of the
new bill:
/, II removes the stamp tax from
bank checks and drafts.
?. II removes all taxes from bank
capital.
g. 1t removes the tax on bank depos-
its.
Now as the annual net profits of bank
capital is already about 700 or 800 per
cent greater than the profits of the
same amount Of capital invested in
farming, this bill demonstrates the
magnaminity and unseltish generosity
Of the farming millions who will CON
sent without murmur to bend their
backs little lower to bear the tax
burdens heretofore borne by the un-
protected bankers. Nor is this all.
This amended bill cxempts from taxa
tion bank deposits, thus giving these
orphan asylums and charitable institu-
tions the full use of over Sl,500,000,-
600 of other peoples capital to loan out
ut usurious interest and to speculate
upon, all free from the annoyances of
inquisitive assessor and inexorable
which are imposed upon
the wealth resources of ordinary NOR
tails,
But it is all right. If the eight mil
lion farmers, holding the power of
sovereignty in their own hands, con-
sent to be saddled and then ask the
bankers to ride, the latter are not to
blame for accepting the invitation and
the exercise.

The United States treasury is accu-
mulating too much money to please the
national banks. The surplus revenue
is rapidly undermining their founda-
tions by wiping out the public debt
and check must be put upon receipts.
Somebody must stop paying taxes, and
who shall it be, and what articles
shall be exempted from taxation? 1t
might be proper thing to relieve the
riOn consumers of the vast tax burden
imposed upon them by tariff equal to
the original cost of the production.
Every person uses iron, and every
ounce Of iron in America costs the CON
sumer double price on account of the
enormous import tax upon it, amount
ing to an average Of $50 ton, or one
and half cent per pound. The peo-
Pile, through their representatives in
congress, say: "lf the national revenues
are to be cut down, let it be taken off
of universal necessities, such as iron,
which pays so per cent; drugs and
medicines which pay 60 per cent, paper
and paper material which pay So per
cent, spices, which pay so per cent,
woolen goods which pay SO to 40 per
cent of their cost, and sugars which
are taxed from 8 to 10 cents per pound. "
But congress is moved by other mo-
tives than the public good
An amended revenue law has been
introduced in congress, which it is said
is likely to pass. But its relief meas
ures are not intended to advance the
price Of real estate or to tighten the
burdens of the average farmer to any
great extent beyond his pipe and toilet.
1t removes the enormous tax OF one
cent from twenty-five cent package
of matches, and the same burdensomc
embargo from cologne, lavender water,
Balm Of the Orient, and other perfum-
cry, cosmetics and patent medicines.

HOME WITH FOUR SIDES

A city home, has its walls of stone,
And its windows clear and fair,
Its solemn parlor richly clad,
Its hall and its dizzy stair.
But II has no sides, where the loving sun
May peep here and there, all day.
Its windows back look on gardens small
In front look-Gcross the way.
But the little home where the roses run
At will, over angles four,
And double share OF the sunshine comes
To lie on the cottage floor.
4 home with its fragrant orchard side,
And side towards the forest too,
An outlook over the winding road
And one for the mountain blue.
Its troddcn paths, quite around the house,
Where the patter Of childish feet,
In mimic hunt, or a quick surprise,
Shall be sure on the round to meet.
It's side lights din through the trailing vine
That brighten the walls within
Its hooks where moonlight peers awhile,
And the crickets softly din.
All twice a home, as it seems to me,
Is the countTy-buildcd nest
Where its windows open north and south,
And open, too, to the east and west.

A Fatal Night Walk for Clara
Ramsay.

An unfortunate mistake was made
between one and two o'clock this
morning at 275 Manassas street, by
DR.. H. L. Williford, resulting in a
colored girl of eleven years named
Clara Ramsay being fatally shot.
The girl was a nurse in the family,
and slept in the room occupied by her
employers. AT the time named she
rose and went through an adjoining
room, thence to the yard to answer
one of natures calls, and in the move
mcnt she made noise enough to awake
Mrs. W., who in turn aroused her
husband.
The latter listened and watched for
a moment, saw a shadow pass near the
window, and a moment later heard
additional noises as the door to his
room opened. Believing it to be
thieves, he sat up in bed and turned
loose a Smith & Wesson S2-calibre,
The aim was true, the ball striking
the doomed girl in the left side, pass.
ing entirely through her spleen and
body, and inficting a mortal wound.
AS the child sunk to the floor
from the effects Of the shot, she
quietly remarked: "Oh, Doctor, you
have shot mel"
Upon realizing the fatal mistake he
had made, the Doctor proceeded to do
all that could be done to relieve the
wounded girl. Drs, Mitchell, Maury
and Donohue were called in to ad-
minister professional relief. Her
parents, living near by, were Notified
and repaired at once to her
bedside. The girl had been employed
in the house but two days, and she is
reported to have been an excellent
and well-liked servant.
1t is not possible for the victim Of
this most unfortunate mistake to re.
cover from the wound, but she was
still living at noon to-day.
The fact that a valuable diamond
breastpin and a fine gold watch had
been carried home last evening, and
was at the time in the house,
is explained as the cause of in
creased apprehension on the part of
the Doctor, and his belief that thieves
had entered his sleeping room.
This is not the first fatal accident
which has happened by persons who,
fearing robbers, place firearms
near enough at hand to use them has
tily; but 1t is not necessary to moralize
upon this point, as people will perhaps
keep pistols convenient if they choose,
no matter what may be said in opposi-
ton thereto. The grand old consti-
tuition of the United States permits
citizens to bear firearms, and they are
necessary to the public safety.

400 acres; John H. Jarnagin, sou
acres; Harston James McGhehee,
1000 acres. Here at the landing the
water is from fifteen inches to FIVE feet
deep on the banks, and is in most of
the houses. Where l live, half a mile
back behind the levee, it is all nice

in skifs. At Arkansaw City the
water is in all the houses except the
elevator and oil mills. The recent
storms did no damage"

Curvature of the Spine and Round
Shoulders Treated.
The proportion of the female sex with a
slight curvature of the spine. one shout
der or hip higher than the other, or some
other irregularity, is so largo that any
dressmaker will tell you that few dresses
have two sides exactly alike in shape. On
this basis Of fact an enterprising woman
in New York has undertaken to build up a
business-not by padding and pressing
symmetry, but on the theory that gym
nastics will remedy the fault il properly
employed. She has opened a small pri-
vate gymnasium, in which light Indian
clubs, dumb-bells, trapezes, ladders, and
other appliances for exercise are provided.
The candidate for shaping is first care
fully examined, in order to determine
exactly her departures from true
grace and accuracy. Then the kind
of exercise to develop the lacking spot is
prescribed. II one hip is out OF plumb,
swinging from the trapeze by the legs, &C.
companied by a swaying from side to side,
is recommended. II round shoulders are
the blemish. club swinging and hanging
by the hands from rings are the proper ex-
~ercises. How much real improvement can
thus be accomplished I do not know. butt
have no doubt ii Is considerable. The ex-
ercise is good, at least and it would be
wise for every girl or woman to swing q
light pair OF Indian clubs in her room or
getting out Of bed in the morning, before
putting on any clothes to interfere with
the free movement OF the arms and shout
ders. This practice is coming into vogue
q little, but nowhere as fast as it ought
