HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE
Gay Drummers and the Pretty Wait
resS Create Jealousy.
OWYHEE's DENSE MYSTERY
Mr. and Mrs. Dick Thomas Cam
not Be Found Representation
OF the Counties to the
state Convention.

| Special Dispatch to the Standard
Boise. Idaho, April 2s.-Davfd Benz
nett made an unsuccessful attempt to
Kill his wife. The Bennetts have been
employed in the Capitol hotel. The
wife Is a waitress. She is possessed OF
striking beauty of form and face and
became very popular with the drum
mers The attention paid to Mrs. Ben
nett by the festive commercial Lotha-
rios rendered Bennett insanely jeal-
Gus. A climax was reached yesterday
and he made a dash for his wife with
a knife, crying. Il will cut your heart
out. He was pounced upon and dis
armed before he could carry his threat
into execution. The rumor ON the
Streets that he is hunting for the drum
mers with the same knife has caused
nasty packing of samples.
The mystery surrounding the sud
den disappearance of Dick Thomas
and his wife from their stock farm In
Owyhee county is sill enveloped in
gloom. Detectives learn that Thomas
secured $1,000 recently from a sale of
cattle, but have not learned that a
part, IL any, was in the house up to the
time Thomas and his wife disappeared.
Hobbery and murder are naturally
connected with the story concerning
the money, still there is absolutely no
evidence of any struggle in the house.
The only plausible explanation in the
line of the murder theory Is that Thom-
as and his wife were lured from home
and then killed. If murder was COM
mitted. IL stands as the boldeSit and
most artistic crime in the history OF
the state. Another theory is that
Thomas and his wife left the country
arter selling everything they had to
escape their debts, but this is not sup
ported by any showing of indebted
ness sufficient to cause them to leave
behind such a large amount of prop
erty. The officers are completely baf-
fed.

from Pocatello to Identify a man who

the hobo who stabbed and killed OH

was not the man.
Sentiment among members of the
democratic state central committee Is
strongly in favor of fusion with the
populists. The only trouble Will arise
over the division of offices. The popu-
lists claim they should have the lions
share. as the democrats are third in

tention. Certainly nothing will be
taken up which will lead to general de-
bate IL the committee on appropriation
can control the order of business
It is expected that there will be an
effort on the part of Senator German
and other senators to amend the naval
bill so as to provide for the construc-
ton OF only two battleships instead of
four, as the bill provides. There Is also
an element in the senate favorable to
increasing the number to six. It Is
therefore expected that this bill will
develop considerable debate.
The river and harbor bill will un-
doubtedly be made the subject Of q Sc
we're attack by Senator White and oth-
ers who stand with him on the South
ern California deep water question, un-
less there Is a change in pant of the
decision of the committee, which is for
Santa Monica
A large majority of the senators now
regard early adjournment as quite de-
stermined upon. If the democrats and
populists ever had any idea of attempt
ing to prolong the session beyond the
national conventions they appear to
have given 1t up, and few of them now
fix the date beyond the 1st of June.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon says
that, contrary to reports, he Is anxious
to secure vote upon the resolution to
seat Dupont from Delaware, and THAT
he is willing to take chances on the
result. The senators are taking the
possibility of a veto for the river and
harbor bill into account in their calcu-
lations on adjournment. Such a fate
for the bill has been considered among
the probabilities ever since its passage
by the house and recent expressions on
the part of those near the president
have increased the apprehension of the
friends of the bill. Hence there will be
an effort TO so arrange the business for
the session as to hold congress in ses-
sion during 10 days. which he is allow
ed TO consider a bill, In order to secure
an opportunity for passing the bill over
the presidents objections in case of dis
approval.

the session, except such portions as are

ity affords. This week promises action
on several measures. The Pickler gen.

week for three days, will be voted on

which case the debate may be allowed

hcan and quite a number of demo-
cratic votes.
1t has been agreed that the bill to
empower the president TO retire John
M. Quackenbush as a commander in
the navy shall be taken up on Tues
day. Commander Quackenbush was
court martialed and dismissed from
the navy in 1874 on charges of excessive
intoxication. He has now reached the
age when, had he not been SO dis
missed, he would be retired. The house
has also agreed to take up the bank
ruptcy bill uhis week and devote three
days to it's consideration. Should these
three measures be disposed of before
the end of the week there are several
contested election cases pending.
The Treasury Deficit.
Washington, April 26.-The treasury
deficit for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1896, will be. approximately, $685.
100000 This rs the opinion of officials
and others best qualified 30 make an
intelligent estimate of the result of the
fiscal operations of the year. In his
annual estimate sent to congress at the
beginning of the present session, the Sec
retary of the treasury estimated the
receipts from customs during the fiscal
year at $172. 100000 So far, with near
ly 10 months of the year gone. the Gus
toms receipts have reached about $751;
900, 900 with a fair prospect of increas-
ing to $165, 900. 900 by the close of the
year. The estimate of the receipts from
internal revenue sources was $15S 000,-
000 Up to this time they have reach
ed s120,000.000. and II is expected the
figures for the complete year will be
about s146.000.000. The receipts from
slightly exceed the estimates of $15,-
100000, making the total receipts for
the year about 1921. 900. 900.
The secretary's estimate for the
years expenditures which, according
to his figures, would leave a deficiency
of s17, 900 ,0000. The actual expendi-
lures, however, IL is now thought, will
aggregate about $685., ,000, 900. or $40, ,O00,-
600 less than Carlisle's estimate in De-
cember last. so the deficit, at the close
of the year. will not show any very
ures, S25. 1852, 423. This makes the total
