and Plainly States His Position.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The conference
report Of the agricultural appropriation bill
was agreed to Ivy the House This is the
first general appropriation bill which has
finally passed the House.
The House then passed tho Senate bill
granting 80 days leave of absence to the
employees of the bureau OF engraving and
printing.
Mr.. Tarsney called up the bill to enforce
the eight hour law, and explained that the
bill extended the benefits OF the eight hour
law in plain terms to laborers in the employ
of contractors on government works. 1t
made it unlawful to permit laborer to
work more than eight hours anil 1t imposed
penalties Tor wilful violation OF the eight
hour law.
Mr. Powers of Vermont was opposed to
tho eight hour Inv. II the laborng man,
he said, by working 10 hours day could
earn 81, 30 and by working eight hours a
day could earn s., he should have a right to
take the alternative. Every man should
have the right to work as many hours as he
saw fit.
After further debate the bill was passed
and motion to table a motion to recon
slider was agreed to, 100 to 10.
The House then took recess.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Body of Il Woman Found Cut in Twain
on the Long Island Railroad.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The body of Lizzie
Bieler, cut diagonally in twain, was found
early Saturday morning on the Long Isl
and railroad at Naspeth, l.. |. One half
Of the body was lying on either side of the
track Miss Boiler was 22 years old and
attended a dance at the home of James
O'Gorman on Maspeth avenue the pre-
vious night. She left O'Gorman's about
midnight, and it is surmised shat she took
short cut for home along the railroad
track, but whether she had company or
not, is not known. 1t is generally believed
thatshe was assaulted and killed and her
body afterward placed on the railroad
track. 1t is supposed that the body was
run over by the 2:30 train. Edward Worth
ington, the engineer, says the body must
have been laid lengthwise upon the track

HOW WE'RE THEY DONE.
Herrmann's InexpIicabIe Tricks Mvs-
MY His Audience

The visit Of Hermann afforded a large
audience unalloyed pleasure and amuse-
ment last evening at the opera house.
Many OF Herrmann's slight OF hand tricks
are old but are none the less interesting
on that account. His aDtness and clever
ness of hand and manner and his witty
accompaniment of speech make old tricks,
as well as new ones, a source of enjoyment
to the audience. The ''black art" while
something new on the prestIdigitateur's
programme, is not as mysterious as the
slight OF hand performances of Hermann.
Strobeika is a strong card, and just how
it is done neither the investigating COM
mittee or the audience can exactly tell.
Hermann will always be sure of good
audiences in Cheyenne.

kingen and the Money.

You've been kind to me" said Miller
to Cook Colloum, so I'll give you a tip.
Kingen had $500 given him bv his lawyer
a few days before he left the jail. He
rave me S. to stay with him and rave
johnson $50 to stay with him in making
the break. Now if you don't say my
thing about 1t you can get that money!
Colloum at once reported the matter to
Mr.. Van Tassell, but no money was
found on Kingen. Capt. Smith had
searched the body before 1t was left on
the prairie. He was looking for the Jail
keys, He found the large brass key for
the combination lock of the upper cage
and all the keys for the individual cells in
that cage. He also found a new pair OF
shears and II few other things but no
money. The IS alluded to by Miller was
found in the watch pocket of his trowsers
at the hospital yesterday by Sheriff Kel-
ley. The superstition is that the balance
was stolen by the colored man-that is, of
course, if Kingen ever really had that
sum Of money.

The Mysterious Horses.

On the Hillsdale ranch property there
are two ranch houses. The main ranch
and that usually referred to when speak
ing of this place is two miles north of
Hillsdale station. The other ianch house
is on Pole creek closer to Egbert and
eight or ten miles from the main rauch.
The windmill is four miles from this latter
or lower ranch as it is called. On a mar
the three locations would form a triangle
with the lower ranch and windmill at the
blunt end and the main ranch at the tip
OF the point. This lower ranch is not
generally known for 1t is seldom occupied,
although it will be regularly after the
first of the month. 1t is furnished and
the stables adjoining are always kept well
stocked with hay. The windmill, which
contains a l2xl2 room over the well, is on
the contrary. generally known and is very
often confused with Van Tassell's lower
ranch. On Friday one of the men reported

Miller was finally loaded into a cart
which had been provided for that purpose,
while some exploded cartridges were
thrown around the body of Kingen to
keep the wolves away and there it was
left on the bleak and barren prairie to
await the visit of the coroner on the fol-

Kingen was headed for Nebraska by
the most direct route consistent with
safety. He knew the country through
which he was travelling, and at the time
he lay down for his fatal sleep was about
twenty miles from the Nebraska line. He
headed for Pumpkin creek, which
was about forty-seven miles from where
he lay, so that he was probably fifty miles
from home.
1t is very surprising to everybody that
Kingen should have played put so soon.
The conviction was general that he would
have stood the trip better than any one
of the party. Kingen was a powerful
man physically, but he had been out of
sorts for a couple of weeks before he left
the Jail. He was a man who had been
used to vigorous outdoor exercise and
plenty OF fresh air. His fourteen mouths
confinement, therefore, softened his mus
cles and rendered him less capable of
standing extreme fatigue thar though he
had been a man of sedentarv habits.
Besides, he was not used to walking.
While still at large he was like the geuer-
atty of cowboys-capable of standing an
extraordinary amount of hard riding with
its incidental ~fatigues, but a very poor
walker. This will go far to explain why
he rave up so easily. Miller, on the
other hand. although under confinement
longer, had been used to roughing it all
his life and was well used to walking.
Besides. he is not OF the kind to worry
him.

Atthe IL ID Ranch.

Miller was carried into the Van Tassell
ranch house and placed upon a bed impro-
ylsed for him. 1t was close to one occu-
pied by William Colloum, the cook, in
whose charge Miller was placed for such
attention as he might require during the
night. When he first reached the ranch
Miller was still stiff from cold and appar-
emily unconscious. he was not a pleasant
object to look upon although it was soon
discovered that except for a badly cracked
lower lip his face had not suffered much
from the wind. In. about two hours he
come to, restoratives and heating appl-
ances having been utilized under the di-
rection OF Mr.. Van Tassell. To have
closely watched Miller during the remain
der of his stay was an interesting pro.
ceeding. Miller is by no mean such an
idiot as he has peer credited with being.
He is a criminal in every instinct and
possesses a good deal of low grade cum
ming. He was very particular in having
himself carefully looked after and was
able to converse well enough in regard to
his condition but whenever he was spoken
to about his adventure and didn't van to
talk he was suddenly siezed with flight
ness and his mind began to wander. He
was probably more open in his conduct
with William Colloum, the cook, than any
other man because that gentleman had
the entire care of him during Saturday
night and fed him a little soup, the only
thing OF the sort he was able to eat. Mil
ler's constant cry was for water and this
was given him but not in too great guam
titles. He could not eat anything solid.
During Saturday night he slept very
little and was quite restless. During Sun
day forenoon he slept soundly for a time
but did not talk verv much. He could
not retain anything on his stomach.
