BRUTAL !: MURDER.
Whole Family Of -Four Kill
led at Barnard, Mo.
Murderer Then Fires House to
Conceal The Crime.
.lhdIsailen Of Struggle with Muir
derer--.Man Arrested.

Maryville. Mo, Nov. 21.-Oda Hub
bell, farmer near Barnard, Mo, and
his wife and two children, were shot
and killed at their home last night by
an unknown person, who set ire to
their house to conceal the crime
Hubbell and his wife were each 80
years old and the children were a girl
aged and a boy aged 4. This con-
stituted the entire family.
Early last night neighbors heard
shots at the Hubbel home but made
no effort to investigate.
At midnight it was discovered that
the Hubbell house was burning and
all the neighbors hurried to assist in
extinguishing the flames. When this
was accomplished the charred remains
of the two children were found in bed
in their room where it. was evident
they had been killed while sleeping.
Hubbelrs body was found lying on the
floor of another room and his Wife's
body in her bed, where she had been
shot.
1t is believed Hubbell had a struggle
with the murderer. A pool of blood
outside the house indicated that he
had been shot there and his body was
dragged inside after he was killed.
There is no clue to the identity of
the murderer, although one neighbor
recalled having heard Hubbell say
that gambler from whom he had
won money had threatened him. Of
ficers are searching for the murderer
but they are as yet completely badled.

Some Englishmcn seem to think all
meats coming in should he marked
either foreign or "colonial'' to show
the buyer that he was not getting Eng
lish meat. Every one of the chic
joints would have to be stamped, and
the exporter would have to do the
stamping. Further. the butcher deal
ing in foreign as we'll as English
meat must announce the fact on his
shop front so that his customers may
know he deals in both foreign and
English meat. Some Of the farmers
complain that much foreign meat is
passed off as English to bring down
their prices.

hardly necessary to add that she Wilt
be the first woman to hold the posi-

advanced so far to the front in the
profession of teaching as has Mrs
Young
1t was last year that Chicago as
tonished the country by electing Mrs
Young to the Office OF superintendent
of the city's schools. The very idea Of
a woman superintendent OF schools
seems not to have suggested itself
previously to the boards of education
of the country's big cities, and the
election caused a sort of shock The
magnitude of the Office. with Its super
intendency Of more than 5000 teachers
and nearly 100000 pupils, its super
vision of the disbursement annually of
more than $4,000. 900 and its com
mand OF a salary of $40, 900, all sent a
thrill of interest through those who
are interested in the nations school
children. A woman superintendent of
schools in big city was to the pub
lie an unheard of thing. for no one
could even remember the suggestion
of such a choice. Since then another
