added another day of strength and limited

hected fractional declines in almost every
American issue. and some selling for for

parently nothing to influence opinion to the

WAR REVENUE BILL
General Debate Resumed in the House
of Representatives.
DISCUSSING COST OF POSSIBILITIES
Democratic Objection to the Bond
Issue Clause.
SENATE'S SHORT SESSION

Before the debate upon the war revenue
bill was resumed in the House of Repre-
sentatives today urgency war measure
vas passed by unanimous consent to repeal
the limitations upon the purchase of quar-
termastsr's supplies during the existing
war with Spsin. Mr.. Hull explained that
thu measure was deemed urgently neces-
sary by the quartermaster's department of
the army to avoid embarrassment in the
war preparations in progress.
Mr.. Payne On. W, n ember of the ways
ard means committee, was the first speaker
On the war revenue bill today
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Payne
said that in disciplined armies and seasoned
soldiers Spain at present had the advan-
tage. and that il was therefore the part of
prudence to supply the government with
all the pecuniary means necessary to re-
cruit and prepare our army for the field.
He combated the opinion of Mr.. Sayers
that S;00.G0o.0o would be sufficient. Our
war preparations were costing s25000,00O a
month. With armies in the field the ex-
penditure would be much greater. He did
not. however, think that it would be naces-
sary to sell the full s510. 900 600 of bonds au-
thorizad by the bill before the December
session of Congress. but he pointed out that
some of the taxes imposed by the bill would
not go into effect at once. The stamp tax,
for instance. would not go into effect until
June l.
He ridiculed the proposition of the minor
ity TO raise s1G0 900 .G00 from an income tax
in the face of the Supreme Court decision
and expressed his astonishment that Mr.
Bailey yesterday had argued that the beer
tax imposed by the bill was a direct tax
and a tax on personal property. He called
attention to the fact that the tax was on
the sale and consumption of beer.
Mr.. Bailey interrupted to ask if Mr.
Payne was a lawyer. Il ask in all serious
ness said he. He does not talk like one :"

He was not brought up in the law school
Of the gentleman from Texas replied Mr..
Payne.

Mr. Bailey.
Mr.. Wheeler (Ala.), a member of the COM
Elittee. announced his opposition to the
bond provision. but said if it was not
stricken out he would feel impelled to vote
for the measure.

tioHs of the treasury He objected to the

Killed BY Her
Husband.
Such Was the Fate of Mrs. OFT, a Former
Brown County Girl.
The Horrible Deed Was Committed in a
Fit Of Unprovokel Anger.

Mrs. Louise Otr, former Brown
county girl, was killed by her hus.
band, Joseph OFT, IN a fit of anger al
their home near Echo on the night OF
the 10th. The particulars were tele-
graphed to the Sleepy Eye Dispatch, as
follows:
Mrs. OFT and children had been at.
tending wedding at the home Of a
neighbor during the day and at about
seven o'clock in the evening the mother
and her oldest son returned home, ex-
pectlng to get the other children later.
When they entered the house, OFT angri-
ly demanded where the other children
were, and upon being told, he flew into
a passion and sent the boy after them.
AS soon as the boy had left the house
OFT assaulted his wife with billy,
smashing her head and scattering her
brains upon the floor. He then called
his son back and told him he had killed
his mother. The victim lived for tw O
hours.
Soon after OFT was arrested and
lodged in the jail at Granite Falls. He
is exceptionally cool and says the crime
was Intentional.
The murdered woman is daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Dorhmann of
Sleepy Eye. Her sister, Mrs. Durbahn,
resides at Lamberton, and her brother,
Henry, in Leavenworth.
Ever since the birth of her first
child, the husbands conduct towards
her has been that of brute, At the
slightest provocation, he would fly into
a passion and vent his anger in assaults
upon his wife or some of the children.
Often has he driven her from home and
threatened to kill not only her but her
father and mother as we'll.
His fate should be the severest that
the law affords. Nothing sh ort of hang
Jig will satisfy justice and the outraged
community in which he lived

SAMPSON.
His Regret at Not Having Been Called On by
Admiral Cervera.
Special Cable Service.
Exclusive to the Review.


Exclusive to the Review.
On board the Flagship New York:
Admiral Sampson is disappointed. To
a Review correspondent he said today:
l am at loss to understand the Span
ish admiral. Now that he is so close at
hand, I should think he would at least
drop in on us md pay his respects. To
be sure, our reception might not be as
formal as man in his position would
like, but it would be interesting and
cordial for all of that. That's a way,
you know, that we Americans have. We
endeavor to make our reception Of
strangers as warm as possible, and the
treatment we accord them is of kind
to cause them in the future to think
of us with respect. Such be-
ing the case, his failure 10 call
on me is disappointing, to say the least.
But perhaps Cervera has no idea of how
glad we would all be to meet him, and
therefore hesitates about introducing e
himself. Natural pride too may deter
him from showing US his ships in the ir
present condition, but he certainly has
no idea of how quick we would he to
overlook these little things or he would
not he so discourteous as to deprive us
of the chance of making his acquaint-
ance.
There is something inconsistent in
wearing miniature flag to show loyal
ty, and at the same time making false
returns to the assessor.-Fairmont Sen
