POSTAL BILL is UP
BEING THE EIGHTH OF THIRTEEN
APPROPRIATION BILLS

Upon the Points of Postofice Inspectors
and Special Mail FaciIities-special Ser
vice at Extra Compensation Out Of Chi
cago and Kansas City-Attempts Made
at Getting the Salaries of Fourth-CIass
Postmasters Increased.
Washington, March THE house to-
day entered upon the consideration OF
tine eighth of the thirteen regular appro-
priation bills, that providing for the pos
tai service. It is the largest Of the sup
ply bills, carrying over $91, 100000. The
controverted items in the bill relate to
postoffice inspectors and special mail
facilities.
Mr.. Dockery Oem., MOI opened the
annual fight against the appropriation
of 1896, 500 for special facilities on the
trunk lines from New York to New Or
leans. Similar appropriations for this
service have been carried since 1877. The
bill also carries $S1. 900 for special SER
vice from Kansas City TO Newton, Kan
eas. and $780, 900 for special service from
Chicago to Council Bluffs. This COM
pensation was, Mr.. Dockery declared,
in addition to the regular compensation.
When the bill was read for amend
ments under the five-minute rule, Mr..
McRae Dem, Ark.) moved to Increase
the compensation of postmasters from
SIG, $4,000 to S17,00O,0O0 and increase the
compensation of fourth-class postmast-
ers S. per quarter. The latter provis-
ION of the amendment was stricken out
on a point of order. The amendment
was defeated, Al 10 50.
Several other attempts were made to
increase the compensation of fourth
class postmasters, but all went down
before points of order.
Without completing the consideration
of the bill, the committee rose and at
$40 o'clock the house adjourned until
Monday

u
outside of the body may look all right long
after disease has begun its dreadful work
inside. If a man looks well and doesn't

long time without apparent injury but il

nervousness, or insomnia, or undue fatigue
from ordinary work, when iTTitability takes

Abilene Business Men Want
JObber's Rates.
a Committee to Present
Claims
TO THE STATE BOARD.
Lightning Destroys a Depot
and Much Grain.
j. r.. Burton Addresses a McKin-
ley Club.

Abilene, July Pa well attended
meeting of the business men of Abb
lene was held in the parlors of the
Union Pacific hotel yesterday to fur
Their discuss matters connected with the
effort being made to secure full class
jobber rates for Abilene.
Reports were made by the several
committees appointed to make inquiries
and gather facts to present to the state
board Of railroad commissioners, who
have set next Tuesday, July %, as the
day for hearing Abilene's petition
It was shown that towns Of equal or
less importance around as have the
rates Abilene wishes and many of them
ship much less in most lines, and the
result is detrimental to our interests.
For instance, the rate from Salina to
Abilene on first class is 10 cents, sec
cond 10, third u and fourth 10, while
from Abilene to Sa1in the first class
rate is % cents, second 10, third II and
fourth IA.
The following committee was appoint
ed to appear before the board of com
missiOners at Topeka: D. L. Pisle, John
JOhntz, Benjamin Brenneman, I. s.
Hallam, J. S. Hollinger. J. 3. Case,
J. K. FOrney, w II. Iron. G. A Hodge,

DARKNESS SEEMS FAMILIRR
why the Young Woman Didn't Notice
That Her Lamp Was Out.


They were on a tandem, and a straight,
smooth road stretched away before them
through the park for a mile or more.
There was darkness all about, thick, inn
penetrable darkness, which lay heavy
among the trees and betrayed the fact that
the authorities had neglected the electric
lights, counting on moon that had failed
to keep her engagements.
But they did not mind the darkness. In
fact, they rather sought out the more shad-
owy portions. For there is something
about tandem, if it steers easily, which
softens the iron bound laws of custom.
The riders are so close together anyway
And if the one on the rear seat leans
slightly forward and the one on the front
leans just little back there is no need to
sigh for the best of hamnOcks.
The young man on the rear seat had
leaned slightly forward. Moreover, the
young woman on the front seat had leaned
just little back. And there was more on
the young woman's lips than microbes
Suddenly they were arrested - a shout

STETsON KILLS HIMSELF.
Son of the San Francisco Millionaire
Takes His Own Life.

San Francisco, July 25.-Albert L.
Stetson, general manager of the Yo-
semitic Valley Railroad company, and
son of James B. Stetson, millionaire
merchant and railroad president, shot
himself early this morning in the rooms
of his friend, Frederick Webster, and in
the presence of Miss Amy Head, a
friend of Stetson and Webster.
No reason is assigned for the suicide
except that Stetson had been drinking
large quantities of absinthe for several
days. His youth, wealth, social and
commercial prominence have made his
act seem dOubly sensational He at
tended a variety theater last evening
with some friends, Miss Head among
the number. After supper Stetson and
Miss Head went to Webster's rooms.
Webster had been in England and in
his absence gave the keys to his room
to StetSOn, his intimate friend, and to
Miss Head whose own apartments
were in the same house. Stetson went
into the bedroom of the suite and while
Miss Head was in an adjoining apart
ment, shot himself in the head, dying
an hour later.
Extraordinary pains were taken by
the Stetson- family to keep the affair
secret and physicians were INDUCED to
sign a death certificate stating that
the shooting had been accidental, but
Miss Head states StetsOn had been
threatening suicide all last evening.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Lawful Money of q. S. Must Give
Way-Only Gold Bonds Wanted.

Brazil, Ind, July 25.-W. H. Cutshan,
treasurer of this county, has been en-
deavoring for the past month to dis
pose of $91. SOC worth of county bonds,
issued for the construction of three
gravel roads in this county. The bonds
are made payable in the lawful money
of the United States, and this is where
the hitch comes in. Mr.. Cutshan re-
ceived a letter this afternoon from w.
J. Hays & Son, bankers of Cleveland,
O., notifying him that they would not
consider the purchasing of the bonds
unless they were made payable in gold.
Warren Leach & Co., bankers of Chi
cago, notified the treasurer that they
could not purchase the bonds until the
financial skies cleared up. Mr.. Cutshan
has received numerous letters from
bankers and brokers similar to those
mentioned above. AS a consequence Of
the trea surer's inability to dispose of
the bonds, 500 labOrers who would be
given employment on the roads are
idle
