Something Dubious.

KANSAS CITY. May Cit seems to be
the general impression at the Post-Office that
the Mail Clerk Fiels story of his being
robbed early Saturday morning is somewhat
fishy. There is hola in the wall of the
POSt-office basement, ma. which battered
bullet was found. and Ficl shows cut on
the end of his ear, which he says was where
the bullet grazed him. These proofs
are not, however, regarded as very
convincing, but the clerk still holds to his
original statement 1t is said that Fiers
father always claims his sons salary when
it is paid. and one theory is that Fiel has
manufactured the story OF the robbery to re-
tain the money which he says was stolen.
The matter is being investigated.

Tho Garfield Monument.

CLEVELAND, May 9.-Forty-three designs
for the Garfield Monument, of which eleven
are models and thirty-two drawings, were
received by the Association on May 1, the
day fixed by an invitation issued to the ar
fists in October last. The designs are from
France Italy, Germany, England and the
United States. Their arrangement is now
in progress in the large art gallery of /. T.

plenty of space. Each design has a motto
or mark to identify the artist and his work,
and is accompanied by a sealed envelope
bearing a similar motto or mark and contain
ing the artists name. The designs will.
therefore, be examined and passed upon
without knowing the names OF artists who
made them.
