the PUBIC generally dld not think
the Colonel seriously i'll bis physi-
clans and members of the family
feared the worst. At the time of his
death DIR. Ned Hutton was sitting
up with him and left his bedside for
moment. When he returned he
found bis father dead, having pass
ed away very quietly. Col. Hutton
was member of the Presbyterian
church and had been very active in
church and Sunday School work.
He was also a member Of Hebron
Lodge, A. F. aud A. M, of this
city. He leaves a most estimable
wife and four sons: Nat Hutton,
who is connected with the Chicago
Times, DR.. Ned Hutton, of ST. Louis,
and two younger sons, Harry and
Willie. Col. Hutton was born in
Polk county, Tennessee, but moved
to Missouri when an infant. When
he first grew to manhood he prac-
ticed medicine but afterward engag-
ed in the practice of law Later he
and John w. Jacks, now of the
Montgomery Standard, were asso
ciated in the management of the
Mexico InteIligencer, at that time
one of Missouri's most successful
papers.
In 1884 he was elected to Con-
gress and in 1886 was reelected.
Col. Hutton has always been DEM
ocrat and has done valiant and faith
full service tor the party, always
cordially supporting the nominees
and the administration. He was
an old line Democrat who never
went off after strange gods and was
never a candidate for office until

this district in Congress. During
the war the Colonel, while Southern

sion and was Colonel in regiment
of militia organized in Warren
county, Mo. During the time he
had charge of this regiment he did
faithful work in protecting the in
terests of home people and was
highly respected by all Missourians.
Col. Hutton will be greatly missed
from this community. He was ar
honest man, a most eloquent talker,

prised them more than the success
of this invention to actually make
and set type by merely pressing
upon a keyboard. The "Repub-

To Be Settled.
DECISION On THE INCOME TAX
AGREED UPON.
will BE Finally Arranged at the Com
mittee's Next Meeting - Other
Questions Dependent on 1t
May Also BE Adjusted.

| WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-When
the majority members of the Com
nlittee on Ways and Means come
together again it is said that de-
eision will be reached as to what
kind of an income tax will be agreed
upon. Probably the other matters
pending before the committee and
largely dependent upon the propo-
sition viii also be agreed upon, or at
least prepared for adjustment. The
| committee will have to decide upon
the two reports submitted by the
subcommittee on internal revenue,
one by Messrs. McMillin and Bryan
in favor Of tax on all incomes, in
Guiding individuals; the other by
Mr.. Montgomery, in favor of the tax
on corporate investments. Until
this is decided there will be nothing
done about the rate of taxation, al
though it is proposed by the Nc
Millin- Bryan plan to make it 2 per
cent and upon incomes of 81 900 a
year and upward, yielding an esti.
mated revenue of $50, ,OO0, 900.
There is yet some disagreement
over the rate of tax to be levied up
on inheritanees, but not such as
cannot be easily adjusted. The in
heritance tax will be extended only
to personal property, as it has been
found impracticable to have real es-
tate included. A revenue of $10,-
600, 900, it is estimated, will be de-
rived from this source. The tax of
81 so per 600 on cigarettes and 6
cents a pack on playing cards, it is
thought, will yield S., ,000, 900, max
ing in all s45 900, 900, which several
members Of the committee think is
all that is to be provided for by leg
islation at present.
There was some talk that during
the holidays the Democrats opposed
to the bill would organize to secure
its defeat, but it does not now look
as if anything would come of it.
Several members are found who de-
clare they will not vote for the bill
unless it is amended, but there are
those who really believe that the bill
cannot be defeated iii the House,
though they are confident that it
will not go through the Senate. 1t
does not look now as if the effort to
defeat the bill in the House would
have much strength.

AFTERMATH OF THE STRIKE.

A Chicago dispatch says: His
to : VIII put down the strike that
has Just ended here as the cheapest
and best that has occurred in the
country since the celebrated occa-
sion when rioters threw British tea
overheard in Boston harSor. Ex-
asgerated tales of riot, pillage and
bloodshed have led to equally
exaggerated estimates of loss and
damage from the strike. The ex-
citemeIt being over, intelligent
computation Of the actual damage
sustained has been begun.
From violence arising directly
from the strike, eight persons have
been killed in and near Chicago,
and probably forty wounded. In
actual conflict between rioters and
law five men have been killed.
None Of them was in arms against
the authorities, and only one orI
two OF them were strikers. One
other striker was killed. He was
killed BY the wife Of a fireman with
whom he was quarreling. One
woman was killed by a stray shot
from q policeman's revolver. Three
or four persons have been killed
and several injured in railroad
accidents, due to the employment
Of green men.
OF damage to property the record
Is equally short Only railroad
property has suffered and that only
a small degree in comparison with
the vast amount of such property |
open to damage. A conservative
estimate places the actual amount
OF damage to railroad property not
to exceed s250,OO0.

Liyy, in his famous book, ''The An

suggestive words the story Of singular

year 800 B. @ and was probably the
first strike ever known:

the flute players to come to the place
where the senate met and exhorted them
to 50 back to Rome. Seeing that they
could not prevail upon them to do SO
they employed a strategem in keeping
with their character.
On day of festival, under pretext

feast every citizen invited the flute
players individually to his house, and
wine of which people of that profession
are usually fond, was given to them in
such quantities that they fell into

wagons and transported to Rome They
only became aware Of what had hap
pened on the day after, when dawn

THE growth of the use Of electricity
as motive power is remarkable, said
T. l. Carson, an electrician Of Boston.
Two years ago there were only l6l
electric railways in the United States,
while now there are over 800. Skye
ago an electric car with two motors cost
"a, 800. while the bids for the last CON
tract knew to be given ran from s640
to 81, 500, and the former was the price
ct which it was given, the manufactur-
ers being reliable men Itseems singular
that with snch constantly increasing
demand there should be such competi.
tion as to run prices down to one-seyenth
Of what was paid six years ago but such
is the case, and before it stops there
will be very few lines of street railroad
IN the country not run by electricity. -

THE FAMILY GOAT.


7
An Unappreciated AInk Producer Whose
Forage Is Cheap.
The goat as milk producer is hardly
appreciated in this country. But in the
old world the family goat is only less
esteemed than the family COW. The milk
is considered better than that from Jer.
sey cows for culinary purposes.
There is, moreover, one great advan.
tage in goat keeping over cows 1t is
this-that COW usually provides a
much larger quantity of milk than can
be utilized in It's natural state in the
household, the consequence being that
either a portion must be converted into
butter SO many times week, necessitat.
ing labor which is not always profitable
and frequently unsatisfactory in its re.
suits, or some of the milk has to be sold.
entailing other incunvsniences.
With goat, on the contrary, this
difficulty can never arise, A good speci-
men viii generally provide a small
household with enough milk for general
use during eight months Of the year
We're the plan once started no doubt
many American village dwellers vino
cannot afford to keep a COW would find
that a milk goat would answer the pur-
pose fairly well.
Goats will consume leaves and rough
forage that cows viii not touch, and
they are sure to get a good living so
long as any digestible material is with
in their reach. -G. c. Hills in Masaa-
