BROTHER AND SISTER INSANE.

Peculiar Case of Two Children of a
Prominent Kansas Farmer.
WICHITA, Kan, Special. An inexplicable
case Of insanity is that of Simeon and Rose
Boilen, son and daughter of wealthy
farmer near Derby, who arrived here to-day
from Dodge City in charge the sheriff. A
week ago Rose left home for California.
Three days later word reached the parents
that she was i'll at Eel Paso, Tex, and her
brother Simeon was sent after her. Moth
ing more was heard of them until yester-
day, when the sheriff received a message
from Dodge City saying the pair
were violently insane. Simeon arrived
in shackles, and his sisters face
and eyes were black and swollen and her
neck horribly gashed where her brother had
struck her and cut her. The two were put
off train at Dodge City Tuesday and
handed over to the marshal. Not realizing
how violent they were, the Office failed to
handcuff his prisoners In few minutes
bedlam was turned loose in the neighbor-
hood, and it took large posse to recapture
the Boilens. They were placed in the same
room, but were left for moment when
the shrieks of the girl brought rescuing
party. On the floor lay the sister, her
brother beating and choking her and goug-
ing her neck with sharp iron. The whole
affair is mysterious. In his more lucid in
tervals Simeon claims that they were
drugged. >. .,t.s.

CUSTOMS UNION.

Report OF the Committee on That
Subject Adopted by the Pan
Americans.
WASHINGTON, Special The interna-
tional American conference to-day adopted
the report Of the committee on customs
union, which recomm ends that reciprocity
treaties be negotiated between the several
republics of the American hemisphere, each
making tariff concessions so that the pc
culiar products Of them all may be intro
L duced free into the others. This report is
in the same line of the amendment sug-
gested by Mr.. Blaine to the committee on
ways and means Of the house. The con-
ference also adopted the report of
the committee on port dues The commit
tee recommended that all port dues be
merged in single one to be known as ton
mage dues; that this be assessed upon the
gross tonnage; each government to fix the
| rate of tonnage dues with due regard to the
| policy of the conference whichis to facilitate
and favor navigation; that dues under un-
expired contracts with private com panies
be excepted from the provisions of article /;
and that vessels of less than twenty five
tons. transports and vessels of war be ex-
| empt flom tonnage dues. The report of

commerce could be extended greatly by ia
cilitating direct exchanges between the
money markets Of the countries represented
in the conference. The merchants OF the
United States now importing goods
from South and Central Ameri-
ca make these importatons almost
without exception through the use Of En-
| glish bankers credits The committee does
not think the governments themselves
should afford financial facilities. The best
means OF remedying the existing difficulty,
the committee thinks, is by the passage by
the United States of a law incorporating an
international American bank with ample
capital with the privilege on the part of
| the citizens O! the, several countries in the
| conference to take shares in the bank pro-
rata to their foreign commerce This bank
| should have all the powers now enjoyed by
| national banks of the United States. except
| power to emit circulating notes. The CON
ference did not conclude consideration of
| this subject before adjournment.

Smith was a trusted employe Of the Corbin
Banking Company Of New York. About
year ago, however, he fell in with a fascin-
ating woman Of questionable reputation,
and from that time his cruise was one Of

spent his money lavishly OH this woman.
When his own funds ran out he began his
speculations, which he succeeded in con-
cealing for several months. About three
months ago he decided that it was not safe
for him to remain any longer in the states,
and taking the woman with him he
started South, intending to go to Central
America. On his way to New Orleans he
stopped at Natchez, Miss, and cashed
worthless check on Koontz & Britton for
$4,000. He then continued his way. When

that Canada would be safer place for him
than Central America and he accordingly

Pinkerton force, followed the fugitives, and
on Saturday last nabbed his man at
Vancouver. They arrived here Tuesday, but
Smith showed an inclination to remain
in Canada and fight any legal proceedings
that might be brought against him. Hence
the delay here OF two days. The woman
purported to be Smiths wife and she
teigned sickness SO that Smith might have
time to consider the situation On seeing
Smiths motive, Wappenstcin Immediately
telegraphed to headquarters Tor instruc-
tons, and also conferred with Chief McRae
who is Pinkerton's representative here, and
arrangements were made to arrest Smith
and hold him for extradition. Before this
action was taken, however, Smith agreed to
go on with the detective without further
trouble Smith has spent nearly all his i'll

Recent Frosts Cut Down the Per:
centage in the Condition of Winter
Wheat.
WASHINGTON, Special.-The condition
of winter wheat on the first of April
as reported by the statistician of the
department of agriculture, averages 81
for the entire breadth. The general average
for rye is 92.s. In the states of the central
valleys, recent 1rosts have cut down the
growing wheat plants quite generally, and
in wet or submerged areas the roots have
been destroyed. There are reports of re-
cuperation by sprouting and renewed
growth in this region. Where the roots are
intact, great improvement will follow, with
good weather. The fact that the roots are so
we'll developed is favorableto improvement.
The averages OF condition of principal
states are as follows: New York, IS; Penn
sylvania, SO; Ohio, 81 Michigan, 81; In
diana, IS; Illinois, IS; Missouri, SO; Kansas,
81; California, II. The report Of the cen
dltion OF farm animals makes the averages
as follows: Horses, 97.4; cattle, 94.1; sheep,
50. Z; swine. 95.6 The percentage Of losses
of farm animals by disease, winter exposure
or otherwise, as estimated, average l.64 for
horses, 3.64 for cattle, rs for sheep and 10
Tor swine. The reports indicate the loss by
exposure throughout the country of more
than 1000, 600 cattle and still larger losses
of sheep.
