Bacon Clashes with Aidricih.


Next in order came the vote upon
the corporation tax provision upon
its own merits. Before this ballot
could be reached, Bacon sought to
obtain action on two amendments to
that provision presented by himself.
both of which Aldrich moved to lay
upon the table with successful re-
suit.
The first of these provided for an
exemption of educational, charitable,
and religious Institutions. against
which Aldrich made his first point
of order.
Because he did so, he fell into a
sharp clash with its author. The eff
feet of the point of order was to cut
off debate, but Aldrish CHANGED to
'allow" Bacon to proceed. The form
of expression seemed to incense the
Georgia senator, and he rctcrtcd
sharply to the effect that he was
not surprised that Aldrich should
assume such manner, because he had
been debating to the senate SO long
that he was accustomed to use lan-
guagc of that kind"
When the amendment was laid aside
on the table by a vote of 81 to 80,
the Georgia senator Immediately
presented another amendment re-
quiring the taxation OF bonds, which
was rejected, by a vote of IL to 81.

The debate was somewhat more
animated than Thursday and there
was a steady fire of oratory from the
, beginning of the session until Use.
During that time Hepburn, Hughes,
'ummins, NewlandS, Rayncr, Bran

Ill phases of the income tax QueS-
ion. OF these Newlands was the
asst speaker, and when he concluded,

equeSt for an unanimous agree

AK amendment tomorrow at
o'clock. Previous to presenting this
equest, there had been much con-
errinS between Aldrich and Bailey,
'ummins, Borah and other oppOn-
nts of the amendment, and it was
generally supposed that they had
cached an understanding that the
yote should be taken tomorrow as
suggested by Aldrich When il
ecmed that such compact was prob

First Vote Taken.
The first vote was upon the mo-
ton to substitute the corporation

tervaiing duty amendment, and this

vote was cast entirely by republicans

The house had been closed some
months before by the owners on their
departure for Europe, but the place

CARSON'S FEAT

II Just want to have look about,
explained Carson. Il will go over the
roofs, so you need not wait for me.
Carson dropped down on the other
side of the wall and made his way
across the garden. In spite of the
warning, he boldly raised the window
on the lower floor and slipped in, lock-
ing the catch after Tim.
Through an arrangement with the
protective people one of the inspectors
had visited the house that afternoon,
and the catch had been left open and
the switch of the alarm had not been
thrown back into an active position.

Mrs. Trevor was an ideal hostess

DIR. o. O. SUTHERLAND.

Dr. Quincy O. Sutherland, one of
the leading physicians of GAINESVILLE and
a member of the state board of health,
died shortly before IL o'clock Tuesday
morning from an acute attack of neu-
ralgia of the heart. He was in his u.s.
ual health the previous day, having Wis
tied patients in the country, and his
sudden death was a great surprise to
many friends.
The deceased was the second of a
family of six childred. Born in the
town OF Fitchburg, Dane county, in
1848, he graduated from the state uni
versity in 1871 and three years. later
from the Hahnemann medical college,
Chicago Excepting a brief period
spent at Edgerton and Monroe, he has
ever since practiced medicine in James
ville He was married Dec. 10, 1873,
to Miss Ada Green, daughter of T. E.
Green, former resident of Fulton.
The widow and three children, two sons
who were associated with their father
in the practice of medicine, and a
daughter, survive.

Ringlings in Winter Quarters.

Ringing Bros circus in four sections
and retinue of some 125 hustlers ar
rived in Baraboo Monday. 1t did not
take long to unload the cars and trans
fer the stock to place in winter quar-
tiers. The rain made the job sloppy
one, but the men, CARRIED in garments
of protection, worked speedily, and
nothing of Importance occurred to him
der. The season has been most sue
cessful one for the Ringing Brothers,
few losses of any Importance having
been sustained. One rather large loss
was that of the giraffe, some time ago.
The show closed at GAINESVILLE, Miss.
Some of the animals object to an i'm
mediate transfer to their winter quar-
tiers, but, after being coaxed, cajoled,
and forced, with many roar, the
beasts enter the movable cage and are
rolled into their respective dens.

One of Senator Cores Stories.

Thomas P. Gore, U. S. senator from
Oklahoma, who is to open the lecture
course in Edgerton Nov. 22nd, tells the
following:
There was in that state an accom-
plished hen with brood of chickens
five roosters and five pullets. The
chicks matured and went their various
ways, while the mother hen busted her
self with new brood.
In the course of time Methodist min
listers came into the vicinity of Chick
enville to hold conference, and, as
might be suspected, the five young
ROSTERS, fat, acknowledged and ex-
tremely tender, were Toasted upon by
various. and sundry preachers. The
young pullets left behind were met by
the mother hen a day or so later.
my children, she asked, sswhere
are your brothers,
They have entered the ministry"
was the reply.
Brscing herself from the shock of
disclosure, look of resignation spread
over Biddie's countenance as she re-
piled: 'sWell, my dears, perhaps it is
all for the best; they would not have
made very good lay members, anyway.

Shocking Death of CLAUS Lewton.

The horribly mutilated remains of
man-so mangled as almost to defy
identification that were discovered
near the railroad scales by the train
crew of the Chicago stock freight at 10
O'Clock Monday night, proved to be
those OF CLAUS Lewton of this city,
who, after returning on the o'clock
train from trip to Edgerton, must
have walked down amongst the tracks
and there met his death, presumably
under the wheels of the last passenger.
Marshal Erdahl was notified and the
remains were picked up and taken to
Halverson' s undertaking establishment,
where they were identified shortly af-
forwards by VIM. Lewton as those of
his brother CLAUS.
Together with Clarence SkilleStad,
Roy Bartlett and Wallace Atkinson,
Lewton had gone to Edgerton on the
4:37 passenger, and there had purchas-
ed two pint bottles of whisky. The
four returned here on the 8:04 train,
which was a few minutes late, and en-
route most of the contents of one of
the bottles was consumed, although
how much was drunk by Lewton him
self is not known. When last seen by
Bartlett, who with Wallace Atkinson,
got off at the east side of the track,
Lewton carried jug also, and was on
the platform of the smoker. AS to
where he was during the interval be-
tween getting off from this train and
his death, nothing is known, but it is
surmised that he walked back to the
railroad yard and after a while, per-
haps, sat down on the main track.
That he was killed by the last passen-
ger, which pulled out from the depot at
9:43, is conjectured from the fact that
his watch was found to have stopped at
GAL. When discovered at 10 O'Clock
the remains were yet warm. AS the
nature of the accident seems to be ap-
parent, there probably will be no in
