INDIAN LOVER.
Shoots His Sweetheart Just Like q
White Man.

Amherst, Mass, Aug. Eugene Palza-
puer, a graduate from the Indian school
at Carlisle, Pa, shot and killed Edith
AIorell. aged IT years at the home of Mrs
J. F. Moreu in South Amherst, early last
evening. The Indian had been employed
on the farm for about year and during
that time he had paid much attention to
the result of Miss Morelfs refusal OF his
attentions. Until recently the Indian and
the girl had been quite friendly the Tor
mer taking the latter to parties ana on
drives. OF late it was noticed that Miss
MOrell had repealed the Indian attentions
because she said they were obnoxious
haViour around the farm was very dis
agreeable and in the mirning it was found
necessary to pay MIN on and give MN
his discharge. During the afternoon the
Indian came to Amherst and bought p
calibre revolver. He returned INN lately
to South Amherst and while on the way
he did a little practice with the weapon.
He was seen by neighbOrs of Mrs MOrell
while practicing. 1t is evident that Paka-
puer went into the cellar Of the Moreli
house and saw Edith at the refrigerator
1t is not known what was said between
them, but the Indian finally discharged
the revolver twice, one bullet going
the brain. The Indian then went upstairs
and told Mrs. MOrell that he had shot
Edith and he was going to set the build
ingS on nre and then ShOOt himself he
went into the barn and a few minutes
later flames broke out there and the fire
which followed destroyed the house,
After the Indian informed Mrs MOrell
of what he had done she went down stairs
and found Edith on the floor. In her
fright she ran to a neighbOrs house and
got the assistance IOf two men, who re-
moved the girl to nearby building,
where she died in a few minutes.
No trace has been found of the Indian.
The police think he is hiding in the woods
and they have begun a search for him

COMPARISON OF ENGINES
Three on the Santa Fe, Standing Near
Each Other Cause a Story.
TFrom the Las Vegas Optic.l

Engine No. 945 puffed out of the
roundhouse late yesterday afternoon
and stood for a few minutes on side
track close by the turntable. Innocent
ly enough, engine No. 945 furnished for
the moment a demonstration of the ad-
vance or change that has been made in
the manufacture of engines in the past
20 years. It was turned out from the
Baldwin works in the fall of 1898 and is
one of the heavy engines on this di-
vision.
Right close by it-so close, in fact,
that one could jump from its tender to
the pilot of another engine-stood en-
CINE No 712, recently turned over to
the Santa F'e from the Santa Fe-Pa-
cific. Engine 712 was made just ten
years befOre-in 1888 The difference in
weight, size and height between the
two was plainly perceptible.
But this was not all Still a. few feet
further south standing cold and silent,

and more ago. When compared with the
Baldwin it was hardly more than half
as large. All of the engines mentioned
are in good condition. The engine made
in 1873 is apparently permanently out
of service on account of its limited ca
pacity: the engine made in 1888 is avail
able in times of emergency and is val

THOUGHTLESS TOWNS.
They Arrange For Celebrations on
Date of Reunion.

For several years Topeka has always
had the last week in September for her
fall festivities. 1t has become a fixed
habit with her to celebrate at that time.
Kansas City tried to run opposition to
the state fair once years ago, but she
never tried it the second tine-Kansas
City has never since encroached on the
last week in September. Wichita once
announced a celebration for that week.
but when her attention was called to
the fact that Topeka has a copyright on
that week, she generously changed her
dates.
This year the celebration will be the
g. A. r. reunion, and as usual it will
be held during the last week in Sep
TENDER. But other towns, unthought-
edly perhaps, propose to run opposition
to the reunion. Both Salina and EmpO-
ria have fixed on the last week in Sep
TENDER for their street fairs. While
this viii not hurt the reunion so much
as it viii hurt the street fairs, it will
detract a little from it and a great deal
from the street fairs. It is unfortunate
that all three attractions should have
been placed at the same time
Major Anderson, of the reunion COM
mittee, has written w. A. White, who
is one of the leading spirits in the EN-
pOria street fair, asking If the date for
that attraction cannot be changed. He
states that some of the members of
Marshalls band wish to go to EN-
pOrla, but they also want to be in To-
peka during the reunion week, and they
cannot be in both places
Not only will people come to the re-
union from central Kansas who would
attend one or the other of the street
fairs if they were at some other time,
but it is probable that Topeka would
send delegations to each of them if the
dates were not as they are
President Mckinley will probably be
at the reunion and it viii be difficult
for either Salina or Emporia. to hold
their own people in that event

General Lee as a Ohaperon.
IFrom de Chicago Tribune.l

From the Chicago Tribune.
General Robert E. Lee, the famous
confederate commander, was as kind
hearted and simple hammered as he was
brave and able. While president Of
Washington and Lee university, Virginia.
in the latter years of his life, he was
greatly beloved by the children, whom
he loved in return. It was his delight
to give the little ones pleasure. Profess
SOr Nelson's two little girls were great
favoritieS. The general would turn and
ride with them when they met, encOur-
age them to talk of their dolls and play
things, and then escort them home with
as much gaIlantry as if they were young
ladies. He would alight, and helping
them down from the gentle old horse
they both rode, he would part with a
kiss from each of them.
Once the strict Pres yterian rule OF
the Nelson household was rudely shock
ed by the general A circus was coming
to town, and as Professor and Mrs.
Nelson left for a visit of several days
they charged the children on no account
to go. So the two little girls hung over
the fence, listened to the music. and
envied the children that passed on their
way to that tented paradise. but they
never once hoped to go. Presently a
larger crowd of children than ever came
along. and in their midst was General
Lee, keenly enjoying the happiness OF
his little protegeS- The little Nelson
girls Joined the party without a word
when he asked them to come along with
him. Soon they were all in the tent, and
when the performance began all were
given reserved seats by the owner of the
circus. Mother, we went to the circus
was the greeting of the children on their
parents return. why, children. dfdn Z
I tell you you must not go2" said their
mother. But General Lee took US.
20, WELL" said their mother, ''if General
Lee took you, that's all right" After
that going to the circus was a legitimate
amusement for the children.

A BIG DEFICIT
For July, Though War Expenses
Have Been Greatly Reduced.


Washington, Aug. 1.-The monthly
statement of the government receipts
and expenditures shows a deficit for
July of about IS, SIS, 900, which is slightly
IN excess of the estimate made by the
officials one month ago.
The total receipts for the month are
4S,O54 ,259, as follows:
From internal revenue, $2S, 322, 514;
customs, $16,971,4 54; miscellaneous, 81
l6O,229- The expenditures amount to
So6,of3,OOO- Internal revenue shows an
increase Of about 81 900, 900. For July
1898, the total receipts were $43, S47, 1OS.
The expenditures during the same
month were $74.263.475, showing a de-
felt of about $50, 200, OOO During that
month the expenditures on account of
the war alone were about $35, 00O. OOO
which amount has been reduced to
about $19, 300, 900 for the month Just
closing It is expected that the expen-
dltures during the month of August will
be quite heavy on account of payments
to returning volunteers and the cost of
equ1pping and sending out others.
