ed Dead Infants on
His Hands.

This morning about eleven O'Clock

and Barnett were seen hurrying in
the direction of East Pacific street.
A BAzoo reporter following, was led
TO the house of Mrs j. j. Beabout,
No. 102 East Pacific street.
Upon arriving Their, il was learned
that the bodies of two infants had

Mrs. Be4bout, who Is renter, had

house last night takiig all her effects
with her.
This woman, Mrs Beabou', went
to the woodshed to remove some
trash end carpet which had been left
there by her for former tepart aad
while turning over the truck she dis
covered an old tin washbOiler which
was entirely hid from view by the
wood.
Proceeding further in the investi-
CATION, the tin cover and piece of
carpe, was removed, disclosing two
gas jars, containing two human bod
ies.
Coroner Muehl was i'm medistely
sent for, who took possession of the
bodies and removed them TO his office,
where an examination VIII be held.
AT the examination it was found
that both of the bodies had met their
death by foul pay, one having had
the back of the head crushed by
some blunt instrument and appeared
to be abou, fi7e months OF age, and
the other about three months, the
head also being crushed.
A jury of six were drawn and as

NEVER ATE PORK.

1t was in little Kansas town near
Parsons and the scene was at small
boarding house where the railroad
officials generally stopped. Mike
Sweeney was the first to arrive and be
in.orMel Mrs. Hill, the good land
lady, that Ii. &. Gross. Geo. A. Eddy,
Vice President Waldo, aud Col, Jno.
S. Elliot would be there for dinner.
"W,ll, | am puzzled to know just
what kind of meat to have for Gin
Der," replied Mrs. Hill.
"Well, it don't make much differ
ence," answered Mr.. Sweeney but |
would suggest that you have no pork,
as you are aware that Col. Elliott
never eats pork"
"Pray, why"
"Well, you see, he is Jew, and
he respect. his religion to a very en-
barrasing extent, and he would not
feel very much at home if pork was
passed to him. Ofcourse, it Will be
all right, but if you want things to
90 off tremendously, | would rot have
any for dinner"
The dinner hour arrived and so
cid the rest of the party, but there
YVES 10 pork On the table.
This little incident happened sew
eral months ego, and at intervals of
about two week duration, the rail
road masnates would dine at the Hell
boarding house. About two weeks
ago the same delegation, with the ex-
ception # Mr.. Eddy and
Mr.. Sweeney, were seated at the same
table, when one of the party
asked Mrs. Hill why che never had
any pork as he was very fond of it.
and he YVES certain the rest of his
were equally as partial.
"What do you say about it, colonel! :"
queried the speaker Of Col. Elliott.
"Oh, | am very fond Of it. was
raised on it and enjoy it every day in
the week
"What ?" exclaimed Mrs. Hill in
in establishment, 81 thought yonr kind
of people never ate pork ?"
Col. Elliott's face assumed some

the lady left the room he said. "Bcys

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Speaker Crisp has made no delay
in the appointment of the house conn.,
mittees. They are before the country
to day and are probably Being dis
cussed mere than any other subject.
While there may be some individual
disappointments, as whole Of the
selections will be approved by the
democratic party of the nation. They
are not only wise and judicious, but
show conclusively that the speaker
knows no north, no south, no east, no
west and that his action is absolute
ly devoid of favoriteism.
The Craftsmanship of the ways and
means committee is confided to that
able gentleman and unwavering patri-
OF, VIM. NJ. Springer, of Illinois.
The craftsmanship of the sppropria-
ton committee is given to
Hon. w. S. Holman, of Indiana,
who has deservedly won the nom
de plume of the ''watch dog of the
treasury
Mr.. Mills is made chairman of the
very important committee on Inter
state and Foreign Commerce.
Missouri has been treated very
nicely, end gets chairmanihips as fol-
lows: II. p. Bland, coinage, weigh s
and measures W. Ii. Hatch, agri-
culture r. P. c. Wilson, pensions
John &. Tarsney, labor. In addition
the other Missouri members are placed
on number of the most important
committees.
1t is to be hoped that the appoints
ments of Speaker Crisp will be gen.
orally well received by the people Of
the country, and that the party he
represents, especially, will withhold
criticisms and bury any anincsities
that may have arisen that all will
now strive together in working for the
interest of the whole people.

WORKING FOR SUCCESS.

The democratic party as represent.
ed at the national capital seems to be
sapguine of success in 1892, and is
earnestly laboring in that direction.
There is a unity of action that is
highly commendable and will unqnes-
tlonably lead to good results. There
is less chickering's and less divisions in
the party than has been noted for
many years pas. There seems to be
a general desire fjr party success "a
subordinaiion of personal ambitions
to the good of the party, and of the
country.
So far the mrjoriiy in the
new house has evincei DISPOSE
ton to earnestly legis'ate in the inter-
est of the Whole people. In a day or
two the house committees will be ap-
pointed, and then will begin the real
work of the s;ion. 1t i; hardly
possible that the republicans viii! be
able to make any political capital
from the present session of congress.
The BAzoo is satisfied that the leaders
in the house will act wisely and con-
servatively, so that at the end of the
session the democracy will be the
stronger fortified.

WEATHER SAWS.

The surprising vitality of super
sti,ion is ILLUSTRATED by tie survival
for hundred years or more Of the
old English weather saying, "A green
Christmas makes fat churchyard. "
Hundreds of people have viewed
with apprehension The possible con-
tinuation until tomorrow of the bright
and beautiful weather with which
Missouri has been favored. They did
not stop to reason about it, but felt
that the mortality rate would surely
be increased if snow did not fall for
Christmas.
The truth is that a snowfall in this
country is almost sure to increase the
business of the physicians and the un.
dertakers. The dampness increases
the danger of taking cold, ard the
sight of snow on the ground End in
the air leads many ignorant persons
TO shut the house up tighter, and thus
by living in a vitiated atmosphere, TO
plant the seeds of disease.
Musty old weather saws should not
brighten anybody out of enjoying
clear, bright, cool weather at Christ
mastide, even if there be TO snow.

Nothing definite can be learned upon

TO TAX CHURCHES.

Some Of the Features Of the Proposed
Tax Consmission's Act.
II is not likely that the new bill which
is being prepared By the State Tax Com
mission appointed last winter will be
ready for presentation to the Legislature
before Tuesday or wednesday Of next
week The bill will be an assault on tax
traditions all over the State. and is apt co
provoke a lively discussion IN the Legis.
lature. Governor Albeit said yesterday,
however. thai he thought that ten days
will suffice to pass IL.
The bill, as THE SUNDAY MORNING
NEWS exclusively announced a month
ago, provides for State Board of Taxa
ton with searching powers. They can
order local assessors to revise and correct
their valuations, and in case of their fall
ure, they may appoint some one to act in
that matter in their stesd. The conten-
plation now is TO have the State Board
consist of three members, who are TO re-
ceive So 000 per year each. That would be
a partisan Board, and it is not quite
agreed that a partisan Board is the best
for the interests of the State.
The clauses concerning exemptions are.
so 1T is said, to be very stringent, as also
those concerning the taxation OF corpora
tions. Under the act the property of col
leges and churches is to be subject to
municipal taxation at the prevailing rate,
but free from State and county taxes.
Miscellaneous corporations-which does
not include railroad corporations-are to
pay taxes at the same rate with natural
persons.
