Osceola people were shocked beyond

nesday morning that Dee Hubbard had
been found frozen to death. Later de-
yelopments however, indicate that she
probably dropped dead just inside the
door Of her home, some time on Tuesday.
She lived alone in little house on Nc
Lane street which she has owned and
occupied for about fifteen years. The
front room is her living room and the
back room, south Of it, was used for

-neighbors, Mrs. G. G. Hargis went in to
see if she was sick. She found the poor
woman lying in frozen heap just in
side the open door Of the south room,
holding her broom, with the snow drift
cd around her. She seemed to have
been wrapped up warm, had on hood
and overshoes and had been sweeping
snow out doors. 1t looked as if she had
fallen on returning to the house. There
was no appearance Of her having been
hurt in falling or struggling to get up,
hence the belief that death had over.

Ellis Overholser, aged II years, was
shot in the back and died within an
hour, at Knowlton in the northwestern
part Of Ringgold county, just before
noon last Thursday. The fatal injury
was from the shotgun Of Will Christy,
aged 16 years, and was the result of an
accidental discharge. -Four boys,
Charles McGinty, Roy Parkins, Will
Christy, and Ellis Overholser, were out
hunting about quarter of mile from
town. Two of the boys had shot at a
squirrel, and young Christy was raising
his gun to shoot, when in cooking it the
hammer slipped and the contents of the
gun were discharged into Overholser's
back, at a distance of eight or ten feet.
The other boys were right in line at a
short distance, but the charge of shot
did not go clear through Overholser' S
body. His backbone was shot in two.
He was taken to the home of Frank
Marsh and doctor was summoned, but
the injured boy speedily lost conscious
ness and died within an hour. The dead
boys father is Jacob H. Overholser, a
farmer who makes his home in Knowl-
ton.

The people Of Jefferson county are
getting quite reputation for paying
their obligations. This year the tax
list comprised the sale Of eleven tracts
of land, and this includes town lots and
farm property, the unpaid taxes amount
ing to only $54.O4. Some of these tracts
were permitted to go to sale for the
purpose of perfecting the deed. When
Jefferson county issued bonds few
years ago to build new court house in
Fairfield, the farmers came to town and
subscribed and paid for the county
bonds. Not bond was sold outside of
the county. Jefferson county certainly
stands at the head when it comes to a
financial standing.

WAYS OF CONGRESS.

The disposition of prominent Wash ington correspondents is to tangle things up. They are on the alert for any kind of a scrap, and when they cannot find a fight in progress they content themselves with forebodings.
 There is always a lot of pulling and hauling in Congress, and there is no reason to anticipate. and at no time has there been reason to anticipate, that this Congress would be an exception.
 The poorest place in the country to take impatience Is Washington. The good home people get to thinking about one thing and they carry the impress sion that it must be the same way in Congress. But it isn't. Things come in on from all directions. It is a gath ering place for cross purposes; and
The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-12-30

that is as much as saying 1t a gatha ering place of statesmen. Thl present Congress is not So very diffesnt from its predecessors, and it's predecessors have insisted upon time ia thrash things out. At no time has there been reason to believe that the Senate would be in a hurry. It is d matter of dis courtesy to the Senate to ask it to be in a hurry, and some of the older sena- tors get so mad about it in the early days that they give notice that nothing will be done until they gst good and ready. In the course of time the usually get good, and then the House complains that sufficient time is denied for consideration.
 It is well to reflect that it is unusual for Congress in the long sesion, and in the short session as well, for that mat ter, to do very much. as the public un- derstands action. in advance of the hol- iday recess. It is certainly too early to take on a lugubrious feeling over how the session of Congress is going to come out; and it is well not to be made game of by the correspondents. who spend much of their lives in a struggle to make somebody unhappy.
 The Congress has important work to do, and it will be unfortunate if it does not do it decently well. Senators and Representatives who come home for the holidays will be again reinded of the fact.-sioux City Joumrnal.

A COSTLY DROP CURTAIN,
The One Meissonier Didn't Paint for a
 French Theatre.

The One Meissonier Didn't Paint for a
 French Theatre.
 The contemplating manager of a theatre called upon the famous French artist, Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier, on one occasion, says MT. Robert Kenpt in Pencil and Palette, and asked him to paint a drop scene for a certain theatre and name his own terms.
 "You' have seen my pictures, then?' asked Meissonier.
 "oh, yes," exclaimed the manager, ''but 1t Is your name want! It will draw crowds to my theatre" 'tAnd how large do you wish this curtain to be?' inquired the artist.
 "Ah, well we will say 15 by IS meters.i' |
 Meissonier took pencil and proceed ed to make calculation. At last he looked up and said with irnperturbable gravity:
 1T have calculated and find that my pictures are valued at S0,000 francs per meter. Your curtain, therefore. will cost you just 21,000,0OO francs. But that is not all. It takes me twelve months to paint twenty-five centimeters of canvas. It will therefore take me just 190 years to finish your curtain. You should have come to me earlier, mon sieur. I am too old for the undertak- ing; now Good morning"

 In Boston yesterday the market was exceedingly broad and buoyant in cop per specialties. Parrot was the leader, but others also showed pronounced strength on a heavy volume of deal- ings. Parrot rose to fl, it's highest point in years.
 Steel common and Union Pacific were well taken in London yesterday.
 The contracts for new Metropolitan Street Railway shares were not much changed on the curb yesterday. The common stock was fairly firm, selling up to 61, but the preferred seemed to be pressed for sale, with recessions com- pared with Thursday prices. The bonds were scarcely traded in. Interborough held around Wednesdays prices most of the day.
 The feature of the trading was the heavy buying of Steel common. It opened at a. new high price for this movement, at 411A, and later crossed AZ In London it was up point. There was enormous buying of it. Strong, sturgis X Co. took 35,00O shares around the opening prices. This was regarded as very good buying.
