How Il Happened.

1t was app parent from the first that tho bill
to extend the bonded period of whisky would
be defeated, The enaoting clause was
stricken out yesterday while the house was
in committee of the whole by vote of l3l
yeas to 81 nays, and the house sustained the
action of the committee by vote of ls5 yeas
to 81 nays. 1t is but fair to say that the
question of giving the dstillers further timo
in which to pay their taxes was not decided
on its own merits. If it had not been COM
plicated with the tariff question, there would
have been much larger vote in favor of the
bill.
Many of tho FREQ traders opposed the bill
because they thought its ultimate effect might
be to bring ABOUT the abolition OF the whole
internal revenue system, If tho government
should give up SO considerable portion OF
its revenue no reduction Of the tariff would
be possble, because tho whole revenue would
then have to be drawn from duties on inn
ports. The thOrough-gOing free traders are
in favor Of taxing whisky and tobacco, and
cutting down tho tariff. For this reason
they voted against the extension of the
bonded period, They want the whisky men t.
pay their taxes aud increase the surplus Ia
the treasury so that they can have the more
reason for demanding a reduction of the
tariff
On tho other hand. some of the tariff men
notably Mr., Randall--professed to boliev
that the effect Of the bill, if passed would b
to perpetuato the internal revenue system
and for this reason they opposed it, II

reported to the jury, after an examination
that the death was caused by strychninc, and
recommended that the stomach be subjected
to chemical analysis. The analysis was or
dered and the stomach has been sent TO DR..
Clark, at Sutton, for the purpose.
On Tuesday forenoon the jury made the
finding of facts and conclusions. The find
ing was:
THAT death was caused by poison, not
self administered nor taken 10y accident, by
whom administered the jury from the evil
dence are unable 20 decide"
On Tuesday afternoon the body was taken
to Wetmore, Kansas, for burial. II was ac-
companied by Mr.. Lee and by Mr.. E. j..
Woodman. a brother of the deceased.
At the time of her death, Mrs. Lee was a.
years. months, and II days old. She was
born in Michigan, October sth, 1889, and
had been married 25 years.
There is some testimony that sustains the
theory that Mrs. Lee administered poison to
herself, but there is great deal more, and
stron ger testimony that points to her hus-
band AZ the one who gave her that fatal
dose. 1t il evident that the evidence IL not
clear of doubt, as the coroner's jury were
unable to satisfy themselves of thai fact
OF course, the action of coroner's jury
is not final. The district court meets April
10, and 1t il natural to conclude that. in q
case so important, involving individuals of
such character and occupying so largely tlg
public attention az does this case, will be
sent to the grand jury for denomination.
The Globe joins all its readers in the hope
that in whatever event, the guilty shall be
