Novelties Made of Cats and Dogs.

Commodore Winn, who lives s
miles southwest of Mexico, was ex
hibiting in town to-day two unique
lap robes-one made of the skins O
house cats and the other of the skins
of dogs, various kinds and colors.
The cat robe contains the skins of 81
cats and the other robe represents Is
CANNES. Mr.. Winn killed then
and tanned their hides. He is about
the only man in Audrain who has
purchased worthless dog and 6
mean cat to butcher them, but he has
done this and now owns two elegant
and valuable lap robes. The hides are
well cured and the different colori
form a spectacle that there is not al
old maid in the county who can ex
hibit "crazy quilt" which will ex
eel these laprobes for beauty. He
will show them al the Missouri fair.
this coming season.
Mr.. Winn says there is no trutf
in the old adage; "I's bad luck Il
kill a cat. -
n. B.-To the citizens of Mex
ico:, Mr.. Winn doesn't wish to bu,
any more dogs.

prohibits parties to a lawsuit Civ

it until the end of the term at which
their case is tried. Tobacco, the
court says, ''is both victual and a

SENATOR PETER makes it point

SENATOR PETER makes it a point
not to permit any senator or repre-
sentative to surpass him in extreme
and absurd schemes for the Legisla-
tive suppression of bloated capital
lists. A few days ago Representative
Stackhouse introduced a wild bill
for the progressive taxation of in
comes. 1t was the widest bill of its
kind introduced up to that date.
But now comes Senator Peffer with
wilder one. 1t proposes to tax
not incomes merely but estates. On
every estate valued at 81 900 900 it
proposes tax of l per cent. and
from that up as estates increase in
size until the tax reaches Is per
cent. on estates exceeding $20, ,00O,-
900. Mr.. PETER would confiscate
not only the entire income but
considerable part OF the principal OF
the very large estates. He estimates
that he would get an income to the
public treasury of 81, 10000, 900
the first year by this means. How
much he expects to get the second
year is not stated. Probably he
would not get much unless he has
some effective plan for preventing
the big estates from being divided
up or taken out of the country to
other countries where they will be
more welcome because there are not
so many PETERS there.

SURPRISE TO SILVER MEN.
White Metal Not Good Enough to Pay
the Debts Of Arizona.

=" hsnASdIUc, 0uAlSu IL All cpl
sode which opened the eyes of some
of the free silver men in the House
occurred Wednesday. Marcus Au-
relius Smith, the delegate from Ari-
zona, asked unanimous consent to
bring up bill to amend an act re-
garding a loan on behalf of the ter
ritory. The bill providing for pay
ing the interest on certain bonds in
gold and the Farmers Alliance
members quickly scented mischief.
81 want to ask the gentleman, I"
inquired Mr.. Otis, "if he will have
any objection to changing that to le-
gal money Of the United States ?"
Mr.. Smith had some objection to
that and stated it thus:
'That is exactly the objection
which has prevented me from selling
these bonds at the rate of interest
which we propose to provide for.
In Arizona, I will state to the gentle.
man, it is entirely immaterial
whether you provide that payment
shall be in gold coin or legal money,
for all actual transactions are in
gold coin. I have tried to float this
debt at reasonable rate of interest
and I am satisfied that without thai
provision in the bill it cannot be
done save at less than Z to 10 pei
cent. With this provision 1 believe
the bonds can be f1oated at 5 pei
cent"
Judge Powers, of Vermont, quick
ly asked young Marcus Aurelius i
the provision was that the interest
should be payable in silver coin
how much would the increase be in
the rate of interest ON which he
would have to pay? Mr.. Smith did
not dodge the question, but replied
81 do not know, probably 1 or 9
per cent. increase.
This seemed to surprise Jerry
Simpson very much. He wanted te
know whether the money was being
borrowed from American or foreign
Capitalists. He got as frank al
answer as Judge Powers got, that i
was from American capitalists
Jerry fairly gasped.
"And yet they want their interes
payable in gold ?"
"We are paying the debt in golc
now," was the crushing reioinder o
the delegate from Arizona. Itiwil
save my people s75, 600 in taxes tina
we are throwing away now ever!
year paying this high rate of in
tterest.
This frank admission by a silve
man that silver is not good enougl
to pay the debts of Arizona need
Ionly to be coupled with the fact tina
all notes in the State of Washingtol
are printed to be paid in gold coin t
indicate the degree of sincerity c
the representative of those section
: in advocating free silver coinage an

ment is a private speculation for th
e benefit of mine owners.

THE Senate postal committee has
now agreed to report bill provid-
ing for free delivery in towns Of
S. 900 inhabitants and from Offices
whose receipts reach s., 900, though
the population may not reach 5 900.
This measure is an important step
in advance. Experience seems to
prove that much longer step might
be taken with safety, but this one
will serve for an experiment.
