Bill Being Considered

Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 6.-Charles A.
Towne left Duluth this morning for
st. Paul to receive his commission as
United States senator, and to proceed
at once to Washington.
The offer was made him last even
ing and accepted. Before leaving he
said he considers the ship subsidy bill
a bad one and is against it. His po-
sition on the standing army is mat
the people voted to put down the war
in the PHILIPPINES and he will vote to
give an army enough to do that, but
not for an increase for any other pur-
pose.
Revenue Reduction Immediately.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The ways and
means committee met in special ses-
sion this morning to consider the bill
of reducing the revenue taxes to the
extent of s40,O00,000, as previously
framed by the republican members of
the committee. The committee voted
to report the bill as introduced with
the amendment, making the act take
effect on it's passage, instead of thirty
days thereafter. All substitutes and
amendments by the minority were de-
feated by six to nine.
House.
Washington, Dec. 6.-When the
house met today an arrangement was
agreed to by which, consideration OF
the Grout Oleomargarine bill, made a
special order for today, was postpon-
ed until tomorrow.
The house, proceeded with a con-
sideration Of the army reorganization
bill. Hepburn's amendment to pro-
vide that vacancies in the quartermas-
ter's department could be filled from
civil life or from volunteer officers,
was voted down without division.
More Surgeons and Assistants.

ment which was adopted authorizing

teer surgeons with rank as major, and
one hundred and fifty assistant sur
geons with the rank of captain for a
term of two years unless previously
discharged.

PASSED FORGED CHECK.
Three Bloomfield Men swindIed il
the Old, Old Way.

Bloomfield, Dec. -(SpeciaD
very unpleasant discovery was made
recently by three of Bloomfield's s
prominent business men, that each of
them had cashed a forged check. The
victims are H. A. Wishard, proprietor
of boot and shoe store, w. H. Tay-
lor, of the clothing firm of Taylor &
Son, and G. e. Curl, one of the grocers.
The amount of each check was $12,
and they were taken in by the mer-
chants on November %, signed by A.
W.Duffield, one of Davis county's pros
porous farmers. The man who pre-.
sented the checks claimed that he
had formerly been in the employ of
Mr.. Duffield, but had gone to work on
the Mark Saunders farm.
Altho the deception was practiceu
several days ago it was not discovered
until recently, and it is not probable
that the man will be found. He is a
stranger in Bloomfield, and it has been
ascertained that his statement as to
having worked for Mr.. Duffield was
false. The name he took was probab-
ly false, and it is not likely that it
would help to find him The authori-
ties are on his track, however, and if
found he will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.

HAVE AGREED.
Ministers Submit Details of Decision
on Chinese Matters.

Ministers Submit Details of Decision
on Chinese Matters.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The state de-
spartment has been informed that the
foreign minister at Peking Tuesday
reached an agreement which was sub
mitted to the home offices. Secretary
Hay yesterday cabled Conger an au-
thorization to sign agreement ON be-
half of the United States. 1t is diff
cult to gather the details of the under
standing at this time. However, it is
known that in two important issues
still open, namely those relating to
punishment and indemnity, the views
of the United States have prevailed.
AS to the punishments they are to be
the severest that can be inflicted by
the Chinese government. AS to the
indemnity, the Chinese government is
to formally admit liability, and then
the matter is to be left for future ne
gotiations. 1t was understood that on
the other points, the French PROPOSE
tion has formed the basis of agree
ment.

ENGLAND's QUEEN
is In NEED OF MONEY
Commands the British Parliament to
Transact no Business Until War
Expenditures Are Sanctioned.

London, Dec. GA few minutes af-
ter Speaker Gully had taken the chair
in the house of commons this after
noon, the Gentleman Usher of Black
Rod, General Michael Biddulph, ap.
peared and summoned the Commons
to the House of Lords, where Lord
Chancellor Halsburg read the queens
speech, as follows:
My Lords and Gentlemen: 1t be-
came necessary to make further pro.
vision for expenses incurred by the
operations of my armies in South AT,
rica and China. l have summoned
you to hold special session in order
that you may give your sanction to en-
actme'nts required for this purpose.
You will not enter into other public
matters requiring your attention until
the ordinary meeting Of parliament in
the spring"
The ceremony was very brief.

the bed, with two big wounds in his
skull. He was covered with blood and
and was unconscious. The neighbors
were notified and a man sent to New
Virginia for doctor, who arrived at
5 o'clock in the morning and remained
at the bedside until Hossack died, at
10 o'clock Sunday forenoon.
Hoosack did not recover conscious
ness, and there is no clue to the MUIR
derers, other than circumstantial evi-
dence, which seemed to point to mem.
bers of the Hossack household.
With an Axe.
The first blow was struck with the
edge of an axe, which was afterwards
discovered under the granary short
distance from the house. 1t cut q
gaping wound in the head five inches
long over the right ear, extending
around almost to the back of the head.
The second blow was struck with the
blunt edge of the instrument and went
slightly lower than the first and across
the lobe of the ear Both were pow
erful blows, and either would have
probably resulted fatally.
She Slept With Him.
Mrs. Hossack was sleeping at the
front of the bed, and the murderer
must necessarily have reached over
her to have committed the deed. It
was also necessary that there be a
light in the room, for otherwise the
blows would not have gone so uner-
ringly to the vital points. There is a
window in the north end of the room
near the foot of the bed, but it was
scarcely possible that the moon
should have shone in the room bright.
ly enough to allow the assassin to
guage his blows with such precision
as was the case. At the foot of thea
bed there was hardly room for a per.
son to stand, while it would have been
impossible to have reached Hossack's
mead from that position. The west
wall near the head of the bed was a
mass OF blood, while the north wall or
the room, or the wall at the foot of the
bed, had also number of blood spots.
Inefe are TWO ways to account for
these. One is that they were from
the dripping blade of the axe as it
went back over the murderer's head
for the second blow, and the other ls
that they were made by Hossack, who
perhaps involuntarily raised his hand
to his head after the first blow, and as
it fell back to the bed from the second
blow the blood was sent flying over
the bed and wall.

Stand Him in Good Stead.
Calender, Dec. 6.-Skill with the
rifle and steady nerves have. won a
bride for Charles Mrzena, a prosper
Gus young farmer of Webster county.
Miss Minnie Anderson, the daughter
of wealthy farmer in the county,
was loved by Mrzena and compan-
ion farmer named Alstot. The young
woman did not have the heart to
choose between the two lovers.
Neither man would retire. In this
difficulty the friends of all sides sug
gested a target match, the winner to
carry off the girl.
The lovers agreed to abide by the
result of this somewhat ancient test,
but when Alstot faced the target his
nerve gave way, and altho he Is
an excellent marksman his bullets all
went wild. Mrzena, on the contrary,
was as steady as steel and hit the
bulls-eye twice.
Yesterday the marriage took place
and the successful duelist will have
his rife gilded and will hang it in the
parlor of his new home.

AMENDMENT TALK.
Views of Justices Beck and Brewer on
the Titus Amendment.

the Titus Amendment.
Des Moines, Dec. 6.-While the gen.
eral opinion among state officers is
that the most recently exposed error
in connection with the Titus amend
ment will invalidate it, there is never
theless no little dissent from this be-
lief The difference of opinion all
hinges on the question whether the
constitution, in saying "the proposed
amendment shall be entered on the
journal, with the yeas and nays taken
thereon" means necessarily it must
be entered at length, or, in other
words, fully transcribed.
Justice Beck's View.
Justice Beck takes the view that the
question of manner of entry on the
journal was not essential to the pro-
hibitory amendment case,hence would
not be essential in the Titus matter.
Justice Brewer.
Justice Brewer holds the two vital
elements to the legal adoption of a
constitutional amendment were the as
sent of the legislature and majority
of the popular vote.

Placed Under Arrest While Attending
Husbands Funeral,
is SAID SHE KILLED HUSBAND WITH AK.
Large Number of Farmers Attend Funeral In Antic
patton of Mrs. Hossack's Arrest Was Placed
In Custudy Beside Her Husbands
Newly Made Grave.

New Virginia, Dec. 6.-While at
tending her husbands funeral, Mrs.
Margaret Hossack, late yesterday af-
ternoon, was arrested by Sheriff Lewis
Hodson, of Warren county, charged
with the murder of her husband,
John Hossack, who was killed in cold
blood Saturday night at the Hossack
home, six miles northwest of this
place.
The attendance at the funeral was
unusually large, farmers coming from
miles around to attend. 1t was wnis-
pered around among the mourners
that the sheriff, who arrived at noon,
would make the arrest, yet no one put
much confidence in the talk. But
when the sheriff stepped up to Mrs.
Hossack, shortly after the last chunk
of dirt had been thrown upon the
newly made grave, and she was on her
way to town with her children by her
side, the arrest caused a tremendous
sensation. Mrs. Hossack took the ar
rest calmly, evidently having antici-
pated the event. She expressed de-
sire to go first to her home to get a
few things and within an hour the
sheriff and the accused were on their
way to the county Jail at 1ndianola.
Evidence Circumstantial.
The evidence upon which Mrs. Hos
sack was arrested is purely circum-
stantial, the only testimony being to
the effect that Hossack and his wife
had frequent quarrels, and the i'm.
probability of the woman's story that
she slept peacefully by the side OF the
murdered man and heard no sounds
until after it was all over and the muir
derer had escaped thru the front door.
Murder in Cold Blood.
The murder was one of the most
cold-blooded affairs recorded in the
annals of crime. 1t occurred shortly
after midnight, on the night of Satur-
day, December 1. According to Mrs.
Hossack, who was sleeping by the
side of her husband, she was awaken
ed in the night by groans, and imme-
diately reached over towards her nus
band. Her hand went into mass of
gore and brains. She jumped up and
started to arouse the house. In the
next room she saw flash of light,
and heard noise outside.
Family Aroused.
The family was at once aroused,
and Hossack was found lying with his
face to the wall in the inner side of
