Prominent Merchant and Ex-Sherim
Is FOuiIy Murdered.
Newton, Iowa, Feb. 24-This com
munity was greatly shocked this
morning, when the news spread that
J. r. Sollinger, a prominent merchant
and an ex-sheriH, was found dead,
probably murdered.
Mr. SolIinger left his place of bust
ness about $3.50, and when re reached
home his wife noticed blood flowing
down his face and on enquiring what
was the matter he stated that he had
fallen or had been hit. These are the
last words he said. a physician was
summoned and; on examination, a
large cash was found on his head. He
never regained consciousness, but died
between. Il and l a. m.
It is generally believed he was way
laid and the thug. failing to bring
down his victim, fed without accom-
plishing his purpose, that of robbery,
nothing on his person having been
taken Two clubs were found near the
spot which the first blood was visible
Mr.. Sollinger had been a captain in
the army and was a Mason and G. A
r. man. He leaves a widow, one son
and one daughter.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The Senate
programme for the remainder of the
session. which will close at u o'clock
tomorrow week. is tovfollow the sundry
civil bill. the consideration of which
viii begin tomorrow, with the legisla-
tive. executive and judicial bill and
then to take up the naval bill and
lastly the general deficiency appropria-
ton bill.
While it is understood that there
will probably be spasmodic attempts
to get up other measures of general
Importance, the best opinion is that
none of these will be successful, in
cases where there is objection. 1t is
possible that Senator Butler will re-
new his efforts in BEHALF of the pooling
bill, and that Senator George Will also
again attempt to restore the bank
ruptcy bill to its position as the un-
finished business; but it is not in the
least probable that the efforts of either
will be successful
Senator Falkner is also hopeful of
securing brief consideration of the
Territorial Admission bills nm order
has already been made for a night ses-
sion Tuesday for the consideration of
bills to which there are no objections.
The probabilities include night ses-
sions every night after Tuesday, con-
tinuing virtually through the nights of
Saturday and Sunday, and also g, ses-
sion next Sunday during the day
These, it is believed will be held to
dispose Of the appropriation bills, there
being many provisions in those re-
naming two considered which lead to
prolonged debate. There is also a prob
ability of debate over the next report
/ of the conference committee on the
diplomatic bill, involving the appro-
priation for the Hawaiian cable
There is not much in the legislative
bill to lead to debate, but the other
/ three bills all contain provisions which
( if they are Withdrawn, are sure to
cause sharp debate. 1t is intimated
/ that the certificate amendment to the
sundry civil bill may be withdrawn
( If it is, this will simplify the f5itua-
! ton. but these will be material for
many speeches and resolutions for pro-
| longed sessions. Senators do not con

/ they predict that the bills will all be

stitution for adjournment on the 4th
