Indian War Veterans.

Washington, April 16.-There seems
to be an impression in some sections Of
the West that the bill of Representa-
tive Hermann to pension the soldiers
and citizens who participated in the In
dian wars between the years 1882 and
1856, passed at the last congress I'm
fortunately for mnay citizens of Oregon
and Washington, this was one of the
bills that failed. 1t did not receive con-
sideration. Mr.. Hermann says that he
hopes it may be put through at the next
session. The bill would pension sur
vivors and their widows of the Rogue
River and other Indian wars in Oregon
and the early Indian wars in Washing
ton. The bill was reported favorably
from the house committee on pensions,
and the report stated the reasons why
it should not become law, but about
that time the Democrats of the house
were too busy voting away $4,000, 900
or 5000, 900 to the sugar men of Lou
isiana to heed the calls for justice in
other directions. The bill was recon-
mended by the authorities, and there
seems to be no reason why it should
not become law.

NELLIE BLY, WAS Welded.
The Man Of Her Choice Aged and 8
MultimilliOnaire.

Multimillionaire.
New York, April 16. - Nellie
Bly," who is one of the best known
newspaper women in the country, is
no longer Miss Elizabeth Cochran. She
is now Mrs. Robert Seaman. Her hUs-
band is one of the directors of the Mer-
chants Exchange bank and multi
millionaire. He is nearly 70 years old.
In financial and business circles he is
as we'll known as his wife to the de-
voices of the Sunday newspapers. The
reports of the marriage, which came
from Chicago, were quite correct. 1t
occurred April at the rectory OF the
Church of the Epiphany, on Ashland
avenue of that city. The Rev. I. ID.
Morrison performed the ceremony.
The contracting parties had met at a
dinner in the Auditorium hotel two
weeks before, and formed an instant
attachment.
Miss Cochran did her first newspaper
work on the Pittsburg Dispatch, which
was when she was Is years old. She
has been engaged in similar work In
New York for eight years and became
famous for the sensational character OF
her contributions to the papers. One
of her first exploits was to feign insan-
ity and have herself incarcerated In the
Blackwell island asylum for the pur-
pose of describing her experiences. Her
trip around the world in seventy
days in 1890 gave her considerable no.
toriety. -

A QUEER COMPLICATION.
Baby Oelrichs' Contest Against His
Mother, Uncle and Niece.

Baby Oelrichs' Contest Against His
Mother, Uncle and Niece.
San Francisco, April 17.-Another
queer complication has arisen in the
Fair will contest. The Fair children,
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, Miss Virginia
Fair and Charles Fair have instituted a
contest of the first will of their father,
which left his immense properties in
the hands of the executors appointed
by him, and they have petitioned the
court to have the will produced by Mrs.
Craven, which leaves the property to
the children without reservation, de-
clared genuine. Now comes Van R.
Paterson, who was appointed by the
court to represent the minor heirs,
among whom is Herman Oelrichs, jr.,
grandson of James G. Fair, with a pc
tition to have the Craven declared
fraudulent and to have the first will de-
clared the only original and proper will.
Although this application on behalf of
Baby Oelrichs is against the interests
of his parents, they have nothing to say
in the matter, as Paterson holds the au-
thOrity of the court to represent their
child, as well as the other minor heirs.

THEINCOME TAX RULES
Supplemental Instructions Is.
sued to Collectors.
CONFORM WITH THE DECISIONS
What the Taxpayer Is Authorized to
Deduct In His Returns as Not
Subject to Taxation.

Washington, April 13.-The treasury
department today issued to income tax
collectors series of supplemental in
structions to conform to the recent de-
cisions of the supreme court. The in,
structions follow:
Interest received from state, coun-
ty and municipal bonds or securities,
and rents from real estate, are not tax
able as income, but persons or corpora
lions receiving such interests or rents
shall include in their returns as re-
ceipts the full amount thereof received,
or recorded within the year, for which
return is made, and shall deduct the
same as not subject to taxation.
2.-The amounts actually paid for
taxes, insurance and repairs on real es-
tate may be deducted from the income.
3.-All the persons and corporations
that have heretofore rendered income
tax returns for the year 1894 to a col
lector or deputy collector, including in
terest received from the state, county
or municipal bonds, or from rents from
real estate, may have the amounts of
said interest and rents deducted from
their incomes by duly making an aft
davit and delivering the same to the
collector, or deputy collector to whom
the original return was rendered Per-
sons making returns in the future shall
show clearly that the rents included
and deducted were received only for
real estate and that the deductions in
clude nothing whatever paid for rent
or the use of personal property or fran
chises
So far as payments are concerned the
decisions of Commissioner Miller will
probably be final. Aggrieved citizens
may pay the tax under protest, bring
ing suit to recover their. money.

SUICIDE is EPIDEMIC.
Tacoma Again Startled by q Murd er
and Suicide.

Tacoma, April Lett seems as
though suicide is epidemic in this city;
but If those who think the woes and
cares OF this life are more than they can
bear would only kill themselves, and
not drag innocent creatures into an un-
timely grave, the circumstances sur
rounding their demise would not be so
distressing.
At 9 O'Clock Easter Sunday morn
ing Mike Pfeifle, German laborer,
aged about 80 years, shot and killed his
sweetheart, Maggie Kronder, Ger
man girl, some 26 years of age. Miss
kronder was domestic and worked
for family residing at 500 G street.
According to what can be learned
from friends of both parties Miss Kron-
der has kept company with Pfeifle for
about three years, and it is only within
the past few months that another
(WhOSe name cannot at present be
learned), supplanted him in her affec-
lions. She tried to make Pfeifle see
that he was no longer her choice, and
that her affections were conferred ON her
new lover, but he would not release
her from her engagement to him. Her
father says that only few weeks ago
Pfeltie came to him and told him that
he would never marry any other
woman, and that if he could not marry
her no one else would; that he would
die if he did not marry her, but would
not die alone. Miss Kronder had Pfeifie
arrested several weeks ago, on charge
OF threatening her life, but on his ap-
pealing to her and promising to leave
her alone, she withdrew the charge.
The judge in dismissing the case took
occasion to read Pfeife lecture on
prosecuting girl with his attentions
when he saw clearly she did not care
for him.
The murder was very deliberate
one, for from the evidence of a 12-year
old newsboy, who saw the shooting,
the murderer was hidden in the wood
shed. When his victim went there for
wood he waited till she had her arm
full, when he stepped out of his hiding
place, and without a word of warning
fired point blank at the girl The first
shot went wide of it's mark, but the
second, which was fired Immediately
after the first, entered the left eye,
crashing through the brain and lodging
in the skin back of the skull. Directly
after firing the second shot he turned
the pistol ON himself and sent bullet
into his head. He died instantly. The
girl lived, though unconscious, till
1880.
The news of the murder and suicide
spread rapidly and a large crowd of
people were drawn to the scene of the
shooting, and constant stream of visi-
tors passed the morgue of Slayden &
Roberts, where the body lay.
The murderer is connected with sew
eral secret societies, being Mason and
and Odd Fellow. Very little else is
known of him, though he has lived in
Tacoma several years. The murdered
girl has also lived in the city several
years, having been engaged as domes-
tic in several families, all of whom
speak very highly of her, both as a
good worker and virtuous girl.

WARNING CLERGYMEN.
Great Row at Lecture in San Francisco
Over Religious Matters.

San Francisco, April 17.-Turmoil,
Kisses and cries of ''shameP' prevailed
at the meeting of the Congregational
Monday Club today, in the auditorium
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building, when the Rev. G. O.
Brown, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church, told the Rev. George
Heron, professor of applied theology,
at Iowa college, Grinnell, Ia, that he
was an anarchist So tumultuous grew
the audience, composed Of clergymen and
laymen, that the reverend gentleman
had to cease his address of excoriation.
The clergy of the Protestant denomina-
tions of San Francisco had been in
vited to be present at Professor Her
ron's lecture on the christian State, !"
when the latter said:
''In spite of all we can say, Protest
antanism is losing and ROmanism is
gaining ground in the United States. :"
''That's not true,' exclaimed DIR.
Brown, who was sitting near the plat
form. There was a visible sensation
among the audience at these words, but
Professor Heron continued calmly:
''In spite of all statistics, Romaaism
is gaining. 1 tell you, friends, that
God will curse this divided Christian
ity."
The Rev. Brown then obtained per-
mission to make an address. He start
ed in with personal illusions, which
provoked another row. Finally vote
was taken, and it was ruled that the
Rev. Brown must leave the platform,
but before doing so he made the follow
ing sarcastic remarks:
81 anticipated this, and thank you
for your advertisement of my next Sun
days sermon. 1 will then and there
revive the teachings of DR.. Heron,
whom deem an anarchist.
With these words DR.. Brown with
drew to the accompaniment of cries of
shame and loud misses.

CONFUSION IN PEKlNG.
American Ladies Assaulted on the

Street by Chinese Soldiers.
Vancouver, B. c., April 13.-The
following mail advices have been re-
ceived by the steamer Empress of ia
pan, which has arrived at Vancouver:
All is confusion in the city of Peking
and threatens to eliminate in a panic.
Scores of cowardly officers, fearing the
approach of the japanese army, are ap-
plying for leave to visit sick and aged
parents. The government has refused
them all. Two American ladies were
walking on Legation street in Peking
when they were assaulted by soldiers.
while the native guard posted ON the
street for police protection looked on
and grinned. The ladies garments
were badly torn, but they managed to
free themselves, and run into the house
Of the Persian legation, close by. The
soldiers who assaulted the ladies were
afterward caught and nearly beaten to
death by the angry husbands of the
women.
Particulars of an attack by pirates on
the camp of two young Frenchmen,
near Triangular, are given. Messrs.
Hearle and Sabot were engaged in su-
perintending the construction of tel
egraph line between Chomoi and Thain-
guyan. Hearle was on horseback, and
Sabot in 'ricksha. There were thirty
in the party. Suddenly the pirates ap-
peared, and, surrounding the party,
demanded their surrender Sabot re-
fused and he and the guards fired The
fire was returned. Hearle was killed by
a shot in the neck and nearly all of the
laborers fell mortally wounded. Sabot
was seized alive and carried off.
The Buddhist priests have been ex-
PEELED from Formosa by order of the
emperor of Japan, owing to numerous
Chinese spies being captured, disguised
as members of that fraternity. Other
provinces are to follow Formosa's
lead. The Buddhist church threatens
to indict punishment in retaliation
similar to accommodation.
