Revenue Raising.

Representative G. F. Chapline of
Monroe county has prepared and will
introduce at the coming general as
sembly one of the most far-reaching
revenue bills that has ever been offer
ed to the lawmakers of the state. His
bill calls for privilege tax on all
corporations, and, where warranted by
the constitution, a privilege tax for
both state and county on many occu-
pations that doubtless should be taxed
in this manner. On the professions
and occupations generally his bill
calls for county privilege tax, there
being constitutional inhibition
against the txing of occupations for
state purposes. The bill is entirely too
voluminous for publication of the full
text.

TRY TO BAR BODY FROM CHURCH
Sensational Incidents Attend Funeral
Of Miss Busch at Omaha.

Omaha, Nov. 10.-The funeral SER
vices over the body of Miss Augusta
Busch, who was found with her pastor
few days ago, both dead in church
room. was held yesterday. There was
a sensational feature to the funeral,
when, upon carrying the coffin from
the hearse to the carriage, the handles
near the head broke and the casket
fell heavily to the ground. Among
the crowd were several Jealous men,
bers of the church, who felt that this
accident was personal protest on
the part of God against taking the
body within the sacred edifice. They
sought out the minister and begged
that the body be not allowed to cross
the threshold.
The sermon was delivered by Rev.
Thomas Anderson. He stated that he
had been approached by number OF
the clergy in the city who protested
against such funeral being held in a
church. Rev. Mr.. Anderson held,
however, that if no one was to be
buried from the church but saints
there would be no funerals held with
in it's walls.

G. Burdette of the Missionary School

The Morning Hour In he senate
Lasts For 1wo Houra.
The morning hour Is one OF the
queer things. of the United States SEN

hour" Is two hours long. though 1t may
be completed In ten or fifteen minutes.
In the second place, IL never occurs In
the morning, but begins ut II o'clock
noon, except on the rare occasions
when the senate meets ut 10 or IL
O'Clock.
Senator Hoar OF Massachusetts, is re-
sponsible for the elongation of the
morning hour 50 as to make 1t cover
40 minutes. Prior to fourteen years
ago the morning hour" while exist
ing In the afternoon, was but an hour
in length, but a resolution submitted
by Mr.. Hoar was adopted Aug. 10,
1883. mud that provided that the morn
ing hour should be two hours In
length, or that 1t should end at 2
o'clock.
This resolution provided that after
today, unless otherwise ordered. the
morning hour shall terminate at the
expiration of two hours after the meet
ing of the senate"
The morning hour is devoted TO the
presentation OF petitions. the introduce
ton Of bills, reports of committees,
ETC., and is the time when all sorts of
little matters of that kind are attended
to. At . O'Clock the presiding officer
lays before the senate the bill on the
calendar which Is set aside as having
precedence over other measures, and
that is generally the time for long
speeches unless unanimous consent Is
secured to consider pension bills for a
specified time or unobjected bills on
