A Shooting Match to Finish Between
Two Kansas Men.

TOPEKA (Kan.), March 22d.-A terrible
tragedy occurred here at o'clock
last night, resulting in the death of two
prominent business men. ]. j. Spendlove,
a broker, and August Werner a merchant
tailor, who have for some time occupied
the same business house, had conference
that was terminated by five pistol shots.
No one was present at the time, but the
shots were heard by people across the
street. On entering the room Werner was
found dead and Spendlove was dying.
The broker said that Werner had shot
him and then committed suicide. Both
were shot in the neck, and the fact that
Spendlove's revolver was the weapon used
led to the belief that he did the shooting.
Spendlove died in fifteen minutes.
The men held a joint lease on the build
ing, and quarreled over possession. Wer-
ner claimed that Spendlove had no interest
in the lease and was preparing to eject
him. The broker asserted that be owned

Tue SURPLUS.
1t Is Growing, Because People Like Their
Bonds

WASHINGTON, March 22d.-The Treasury
surplus has been steadily increasing for
several days past. 1t now amounts to $50,
100000, or S5,000,000 more than it was ten
days ago. This increase is due to the great
excess of receipts over disbursements since
the 1st of the month. The receipts to date
aggregate $23, 100000 while the eypend-
itures during the same period amount to a
little over $4,000, ,000 including 81 COO 600
paid out on account OF pensions. Until
recently the receipts and expenditures had
been pretty well balanced by the purchase
of bonds, but this method of applying the
surplus has been considerably hampered of
late by light offerings.
Secretary Window has announced his
purpose of continuing, for the present, at
least, the system of purchases adopted by
his predecessor. and that he would will
ingly increase the purchases if the offers
permitted it. He has been urged to re-
sumo the purchase of a per cents. as a more
profitable use of the surplus than the pur-
chase of AZ per cents. He declines, how
ever. to make known his views on the SUBJ
ject, beyond the statement that his policy
as to the As must be determined by his re-
ceipt of offers.
