S, Su­ preme Court on the income tax has had the effect of increasing the deficit in the U. S. Treasury to $40,000,000. It will f>robably reach $47,000,000 by June 30, ht end of the fiscal year, especially if the rehearing of the income-tax question, now pending in the supreme court is de­ cided in the affirmative. The case will be argued next week. tSf Judge--iTipton, of the McLain county circuit court, has called the at­ tention of the sheriff of that county to the fact that sheriffs have no legal right to appoint bailiffs and clothe them with authority, this being a duty incumbent upon the Circuit Judge. This ruling is contrary to a practice that has been in vogae for years throughout the counties in Illinois. / -... Speaking ofthe death of Jas. W. Scott, Kate Field says: "Of such stuff are we mortals made. We fuss and fume and slave ourselves to death to attain our purpose, and just as we are in sight of the promised land, the angel of death bears us away to that unknown place where, let us hope, truth needs no daily press to make its clarion voice rewound throughout eternity."

He is a native of Ohio, the eldest of eight brothers who rendered ser­ vice in the civil war and by their bravery earned the sobriquet of the "fighting McCooks." Major General Thos. H. Ruger, of the department of th* Missouri, will no doubt succeed him. ELGIN, ILL Wr& are the people on ladies' garments, njj^ses' and children's. Jackets.
