WASHINGTON, April s.-The District
Of Columbia appropriation bill which
wasrecommitted to the committee by
the house because of the aid carried
by it to charitable institutions was to-
day considered by that committee and
remodeled so far as it applied to pri-
vate and semi-private institutions
which had heretofore depended largely
upon the government for support
being stricken out and a lump sum of
S04, 200, equal to the total of the vari-
Gus items added for the relief and care
of the poor and such charitable and
reformatory work as have heretofore
been provided for by direct appropria-
tions, to be expended by the district
commissioners, either under contract
or by employing the public institutions
of the district. The amendment ends
with this clause: THAT no part of
the money here appropriated shall be
paid for the purpose of maintaining or
aiding, by payment for services or ex-
pense, or otherwise, any church or re-
ligious denomination, or any institu-
ton or society which is under sectarian
or ecclesiastical control

WASHINGTON, April a.-Senatcr Hoar,
from the judiciary committee, yester-
day favorably reported the house bill
reducing the cases in which the death
penalty may be inflicted in the United
Sta4ae courts Mr. Hoar sought 10
have a time set for the consideration
of the report, but failed to secure
unanimous consent He said the bill
was of pressing Importance, as under
the existing law the death penalty
was imposed in many cases where
there should be a lighter sentence. lie
instanced the fact that in one district
in Arkansas there had been from $50
to 600 executions within the past few
years, and said there were 30 or 40
cases pending in the same district.

TilIman's Western Tour.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Senator Ben
iamin Tillman will leave Washington
tomorrow night for his western tour.
Among the cities in which the senator
is booked to speak are st. Louis and
Denver. This tour is designed to bring
Senator Tillman forward as candi-
date for the presidency. His aim is to
so arouse the silver sentiment in the
west that the free silverites will Sc
cure control of the Chicago cofTen-
ton. If this occurs, Senator Tillman's
friends believe he will be the nominee.
They have been doing some close fgur-
ing, and they claim to be ready to show
the Chicago convention that with Sen
ator Tillman as the nominee he will
be sure of 10000 populistic votes
and of 100000 silver republican votes.
Should the free silverites dominate the
convention and Senator Tillmau be Sc
lected as their standard bearer, a bolt
of the sound money democrats and the
nomination of a sound money candi-
date is expected. This, in fact, is
what is desired, for with an eastern
sound money democrat in the field and
a republican nominee ON sound
money platform, Tillman will then
have his opposition divided and his
own forces solidihed. Should the free
silverites fail, however, to GET .control
of the Chicago convention, the purpose
Of the Tillmanites is to maketh sill
YER vote as large as possible, and have
him put forward as the nominee of the
free silver and populistic convention

WASHINGTON April S.-The senate
TODAY discussed the clause OF the post
office appropriation bill involving the
matter of the consolidation of post
Offices The debate on the amendment
having been closed, Mr.. Allison moved
to lay it on the table, and this motion
prevailed-yeas, 4s; nays, Z.
Mr. Teller introduced a bill provid-
ing that all national banking associa-
tions shall keep their reserves in their
own vaults and moved its reference to
the committee on finance. He said
there was very general impression
that the congestion OF money in the
eastern cities grew out of the practice
of country banks keeping their re-
serves in the city of New York and
other reserve cities" The bill was
referred.
The Indian appropriation bill was
afterwards taken up.
The joint resolution issued by Mr..
Call proposing Intervention by the
United States in the war in Cuba was
advocated by Mr.. Turpie.
Acting under the operation of the
previous questions upon the engross,
ment and third reading Of the bill to
adopt the metric system of weights and
measures in the United States the
house proceeded Immediately after the
reading of the journal to vote on it by
nays and yeas The result: Yeas, ll9
nays, III. A motion was afterward
made to reconsider, which was carried
Mr.. Stone then asked to have the bill,
recommitted.

SO Low That He WAS Suspected
1t Turned Out That way-Mrs. West. a
Lady Who Had a High Sense of the
Principle of Right, Gave Him Away
He Escaped From Undersherin Dorsey
Here, Completely Vanishing.
Yesterday. James Heskett, sheriff OF
Sumner county. was in this city hunt
ing for the men who have been stealing
cattle in his county. He was unable 10
but got a very good clue TO his where
abouts, and there is hardly any doubt
but what he will be captured within the
next few days
During the past few months a great
many cattle and hogs have been stolen
from the vicinity of Zyba and Peck. but
it was almost impossible TO get clue
10 the thieves. Last Saturday Clarence
Robinson took four fat steers into Con-
way Springs and offered them for sale.
The man who bought them smelled a
mouse, because of the low price asked,
and instead Of paying for them in cash
he paid for them with check that
could not be cashed before next day. In
the meantime the purchaser found that
the cattle had been stolen from Jim Hol-
land and sent him word 10 that effect;
he also informed the sheriff. The sheriff
was unable to locate Robinson. but
made the neighborhoOd so hot for him
that he deemed il best to skip out.
Night before last a son of the widow
Vests brought Robinson and his
brother TO Wichita and after they had
left home Mrs. West felt that IL was her
duty 10 inform the officers. She could
not reach Sheriff Heskett, who was
hunting Robinson down in Harper
county, but she told Mr. Holland. Dan
Holland Immediately came to Wichita
and ran across Under Sheriff Dorsey OF
this county, who located the two broth
ers and West at the depot. Charlie
Robinson prevented the arrest by re-
sisting Officer Dorsey and in the mean
time Clarence Robinson made good his
escape. Dorsey, however, took Charlie
Robinson into custody and also cap
tured the baggage OF the brother who
had fled, consisting OF his clothing, a
Winchester rife, ammunition and other
things. He is now in Jail and If the Of
ficers are unable 20 connect him with
any of the thefts committed in Sumner
county they will have him punished
here for resisting an officer.

SOME nIEN ARE GREAT
How Harry Lopez of Wellington Has Hon.
ors Thrust Upon Him.

Some men are born great, some achieve
greatness and some have greatness
thrust upon them, but il remained for
Harry Topper of Wellington, to fall heir
to all three of them. He was born a
great fellow, he achieved greatness as
the greatest horse race starter in Amer!-
lea and he had greatness thrust upon
him at the recent congressional con-
Vention. 1t happened this way. Harry
came 10 Wichita the morning of the con-
vention to look at a span of mules and
it so happened that one of the Sumner
county delegates missed the train and
could not be here. Harry was invited
to take his place and the first thing he
knew he was elected the congressional
committeeman from Sumner county.
His luck was so great that he imme-
diately returned home for fear ne would
be elected chairman of the state con-
vention without having a speech ready.

ately called by all, was we'll and favor
ably known by a large number of the
citizens of Whichta, especially the mem

often visited with her and always re-
ceived lessons of patience. She had
been totally blind for almost twenty
years, and three years ago her husband
was accidentally killed while attempt

Notwithstanding her sad affection she
was never heard 10 murmur or COM

During the war she gave not only her
