Muy ne CI0rk'S ktOUYs
Kimball, June Is: Monday word c.,rc
that q dead man had been found in Bulls
Grove, about fourteen miles southeast of
kimball. Coroner Adams being sick,
Justice G. j. Maynard was notified. He
vent out, empanaled a jury and proceeded
to the spot, where the body was found sit
ting up against a tree, with a large hole in
the forehead, a revolver sitting up between
the legs, and a pair of saddle bags lying
near by. David Freeland testified that he
discovered the body by his dog making a
great fuss when passing by, and on going
near he detected a stencil which he fol-
lowed until he discovered that it was a
dead man. The dead man wore q drab hat
with a three cord band, a duck coat,
heavily lined, blue trousers and high cut
laced shoes. When his pockets were pulled
out another 3S-caliber revolver was found,
a tobacco pouch. a deer foot handled knife,
a pocketbook containing between s. and s.
of silver, besides several bills, probably
$50, but it cannot be counted until disin-
fected. The saddle bags contained about
400 44-caliber cartridges and $50 of 3S-cali-
Der. There were also II p0cketfull of ~
cartridges, besides IA belt full about the
body. h belt was not removed. In all
there We're as many as 500 cartridges. No
one was found who would take the body to
a burying ground, or who could hardle it,
SO he was given rs decent a burial as pos
sible on the spot. The jury returned a
verdict of suicide. The guns and other
property are in charge of the justice. 1t is
suggested that this may possibly be the
man Clark, who some weeks ago shot his
wife and daughter near Armour.

More Troops for Philippines.
Secretary of War Alger and Con. Corbin
had a consultation with the President
Wednesday relative to the question OF re-
endorsements for Otis. A definite decision
was reached to continue recruiting men at
all recruiting stations for service i'll the
Philippines. Alger said after the confer
cnce that Otis would have 10000 men when
the rainy season closed for the resumption
of active operations.
In recruiting the army it was first in
tended to make these enlistmcnts for the
regular army for three years, but later in
the day it was definitely decided to begin
eniistments for volunteers under the act Of
the last Congress, which permits the en-
listment " $4,000 for two years. This
change was made, as the inspection reports
show, taking into account all soldiers on
duty everyw where, that the regular army is
up to the full limit of 5000. The present
indications are that about 10000 volunteers
will be wanted.

Lake Steamer Goes Down.
Toledo, June 30: In the heavy northeast
gale Wednesday night the steamer Mar
garet Olwill, laden with stone, from
Kelly's Island to Cleveland, foundered in
Lake Erie of Lorain, Ohio. Nine persons
drowned. Four members of the crew
were picked up by passenger steamers and
brought into port. From the report of
the survivors the Olwill's cargo of stone
shifted while the vessel was laboring in
the trough of the sea. Shortly before she
went down the rudder chains parted, all
lowing her to fall OF into the trough. A
the helpless craft rose on top Of a heavy
sea the stone slid to leeward, the steamer
listed heavily and sank to the bottom.
The rescued members of tho crew were
found floating on tho surface of Lake Erie,
clinging to bits of wreckage. Their rescue
was attended by exhibitions of extreme
heroism, for a heavy sea was still running
when they were picked up.
The storm, according to marine men, was
one of the worst in years. Many boats
found great difficulty in getting through,
and the big Detroit and Cleveland passen-
ger boat, State of Ohio, from Cleveland,
was delayed twelve hours. The heavy
wind raised the water in the Maumee
River from four to six feet, and a lot of
material on the Ohio centennial GROUND was
washed away.

FlNALLv FALL v
Negotiations for NIodus vtvcndi on
Alaskan boundary Fail,

The negotiations for a modus vivcndi
regulating the Alaskan boundary have
fallen into a state that jcopardizes a sue
cessfnl outcome and causes grave appre-
hension among United States officials.
The last phase of the case was that the
Canadians had come back with a counter
proposal in place of accepting the detini-
tive proposition which had been carefully
drawn with the sole purpose Of preventing
any future controversy over the points
already agreed upon between Choate and
Lord Roseberry. Instead Of following the
lines of the American report and combining
the counter proposal to plain statement
of the points already roughly indicated as
marking the boundary, this last issue pro-
posed a radical change in the line on the
Dalton trail, and was OF IL character wholly
unacceptable to the American side, invOlv-
ing as it did, the transfer into Canadian
jurisdiction of the fortunes and claims of
many American miners. Unless there is "a
decided abatement on one side or the other.
the desired modus will be as unlikely OF
attainment as was the permanent agree
mcnt on the boundary question, and the
chances for Il rcassemhling of the Joint
high commission will fade away entirely.
