TO TIGHTEN TAXATION.
Not Much Relief Can be Expected
from Congress at the Com
ing Session.

Washington, ID. c., Nov 10-Steps
will be taken at once by the Republicans
of the House to reduce the war taxes.
Chairman Payne. after consulting with
President Mckinley in regard to legis-
lation which Will be considered this win
ter, announced that he would call a meet
ing OF the ways and means committee, to
meet on November 20. to map out a legis-
latlve programme for the coming session,
with particular attention to the repeal of
portions of the war revenue act.
Those who have hoped to see at least
half of the taxes removed will be disap-
pointed. as it is contemplated that taxes
to the amount of only $40. 00O.0 600 will be
removed, the heavy expenditures attend
ant upon the campaign in the Philippines
not permitting further reduction.
At the end Of the last session there
was tremendous pressure for the removal
of certain taxes, the beer. whisky and
medical interests being particularly ur-
gent in their demands.
The problem as TO what taxes shall be
removed is perpleXing one, but it has
already been determined in general way
that those which are most troublesome to
the people, such as the stamp taxes, will
be removed first This probably means
that the stamps upon checks, proprietary
medicines, deeds, mortgages. inheritances,
TO: charitable and benevolent purposes,
and stamps upon kilograms will be abOl-
ished.
1t is quite certain that there will be no
reduction in taxes on large speculative
transactions, and there is a growing feel
Ing in favor of permanently continuing a
large part of this tax. The traders in
Wall street pay large portion of this
tax the amount last year running up into
the millions

RABBIT HUNTING EASY.
Floods Drive the Little Animals to
Stumps Where They Are
Readily Bagged.

Baraboo, Wis, Nov. 1O.-[Specal. i
The sportsmen at Sank City and at other
places along the Wisconsin river have
been enjoying a novel feature in the man
ner of hunting rabbits. Great numbers
of these animals feed along the lowlands
and on the larger islands of the river
When the recent high water inundated
the country the animals were forced to
the higher ground or upon permanent OBJ
jects, if possible. At Sank City there is
an extensive tract of land where the tim
Der has been cut away and the stumps
left standing AS last resort the rab-
bits were forced to climb upon these and>
then they were readily picked off by hunt
ers in boats, for these timid creatures are
not aquatic in the least. Large numbers
were bagged in this way.
