the time and. meeting in a saloon. they
had clash. Hutchens drew his revolver
and tried to Kill Brennecke. His shot went
wild. The men were disciplined and al
lowed TO remain with the department.
THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE.
This evening Hutchens was assigned TO
duty at the fair grounds. He said he was
not well and asked to he excused. The
request was refused by both Capt. Bren-
necke and the chief and the detective took
the assignment. 1t seems that from his
conversation with Grove that he blamed
Brennecke for his assignment and stated
that he would get even with him. mo-
ment later his superior officers entered
the place and the sight Of Brennecke caused
Hutchens to fly into frenzy and the
shooting followed.
Brennecke and Heuke are members of the
Elks and have been prominent in the ranks
of the order locally. Hutchens also was
member Heuke and Brennecke each has
a wife. but no children. Hutchens had
wife and two children. His family is away
from the city and knows nothing of the
tragedy.
The men are all popular in the community
and the shooting tonight has created a de-
cided sensation.
Lutz. the Boonville man. is thirty-fve
years old and unmarried. He came here
to-day to attend the fair with party of
friends.
Physicians say that the three wounded
men have little chance of recovery, al
though Heuke's injury is the least dan
gerous

Qualities Of an Entertaine,

Cooking Club: A Hurried hostess OF
nervous host whose countenance but bad
ly concea.s the worry felt, can do no more
toward making the guests uncomfortable
than If the soup We're stone cold and the
salad dressing was ruined by a too boun-
tiful quantity of vinegar.
An imperturbable calm and a ready tact
are the two important factors in the
making of q model hostess. Secure these
and you need never fear for the sue
cess of any of your entertainments.
There is no quality more to be desired
to make a woman a social success than
that of tact. Its possessor knows the
right thing to do and the right time for
doing lt.and thus gains a reputation for
cleverness and for many Virtues which II
~tactless woman would never win from her
circle of acquaintance, no matter how
excellent her qualities of both heart and
head.
The tactful woman Is not only a patient
listener, but she is a thoroughly good one.
She knows no WEAKNESS even when she
has heard the same story more han once
from The same person, ard she smiles in
the right place, and appears to enjoy
hearing jokes as much as her companion
enjoys telling them. Tact is a weapon
guided with a multitude of precautions
and feminine wiles by the wise woman,
and 1t is only tire wise who possess it.

Mistake Of Women Who Are Always
fiuhtino Dust.

From the Cooking School,: The trues,
ZONES are often in houses not especially
well Kept, where the comfort and hap
piness of the inmates, rather. than ex-
IRENE tidiness and the preservation of the
furniture, is first consulted. The object
of the home is to be the center, the pivot
on which the family life turns. The first
requisite is 10 make ii so attractive that
none of its members shall care TO linger
long outside its limits. All legitimate
means should be employed to this end and
no effort spared that can contribute to
this purpose There are many houses
called homes. kept with such waMy neat
ness by pa~instaking. anxious women, that
are so oppressive in their nicely rs to
exclude all home feeling from their spot
less precincts. The very name OF home is
synonymous with personal freedom and
relaxation from care; solid comfort.
Eut neither of these can be felt where
such Il mania foi external cleanliness per-
vades the household as to render every
thing else Gubservicnt thereto. Many
housewives. If they see Il speck on floor
or wall, or a bit of thread or paper on the
iioor. rush at it as if it were the seed of
pestilence, which must be removed on the
instant. Their temper depends upon their
maintenance of perfect purity and order.
III there be any failure on their part or
amy combination of circumstances against
Ntf>s e"aA aAAtC ~ -" '''f''
can hardly be lifted out. They do not see
that c~heerfplncss is more needful to home
than all the sDotlessness that ever shonc.
Their disposition to Wage war upon mac
ulateness OF amy sort Increases until they
become slaves Of the broom and dustpan.
Neatness is one thing and Il state of per-
letual housekeeping quite another.
Out of this grows by degrees the feeling
that certain things and apartments are too
good for daily use. Hence, chairs and
sofas are covered and rooms shut up, save
for special occasions, when they are per
mitted to reveal their violated sacrcdncss
in a manner that mars every uretense OF
hospitality. Nothing should be bought
which is considered too tine for Tie iu!l-
est domestic appropriation. Far better is
the plaincst furniture on which the chill
dren can climb than satin and damask
which must be viewed with reverence.
When anything is reserved OF secluded, to
Disguise the fact is extremely difficult. "A
chilly air wraps it round, and the reiul-
sion of s~trang.ness is experienced by tic
most insensible.
Home is not Il name, nor Il form, nor y
routine. Material and method viii not
and cannot make it. 1t must get its light
| and sweetness from those who inhabit il.
from flowers and sunshine, from the sym
| pathetic natures which. in their exercise
of sympathy, can lay aside the tyranny
