Rolls Than a Year Ago.
In II Months Past There We're 43.S91
New Claims Allowed and $1,000 In
creases-43,S74 Spanish
War Claims.

Washington, June 4.-The commits
sioner of pensions states the work of
the bureau for the II months of the
fiscal year ended May 81 to be as fol-
lows: Original pensions have been
granted: For account of war of 1912,
widows, 2; for account of Indian
wars, widows, 112; survivors, z; for
account of Mexican war, widows, 1926;

there have been pensioned for disabil-
ity incurred in service: Invalids, l.,
o51; for disabilities as provided by
act of 1890, invalids, s16,S52; for widows
under old law, 1901; for widows under
act of 1890 and amendments, 14,479;

issues on account of the civil war of
35,3oS. In addition to this number
there have been restored to the rolls
4,10O names that were previously
dropped or suspended for various
causes.

cient with the exception of that for
medical examinations. In this item
there will be deficiency. Congress
appropriated 100000, but the de-
mand for medical examinations dur
ing the fiscal year has been so great
that the appropriation will not be
sufficient to meet the requirements
of the law under the established prac-
tice.
In addition to the number of orig
inal pensions granted as set forth,
for the II months, there have been
issued for increases, rerating and &C
crued pensions, 50,6S0 certificates, or

Friend of Mrs. Mckinley says Her Heart
Is Gradually Getting FeebIer and
Brain More CIouded.

Washington, June "a close friend
of Mrs. Mckinley asserts that hope
is now practically abandoned TIE
physicians have not yet admitted this,
but they gravely acknowledge that
Mrs. McKinley's strength is decreas-
ing with each sinking spell which
attacks her. As she RECEIVERS from
this complete exhaustion her vitality
is lowered in every particular, the
temperature higher, her heart feebIer
and her brain more clouded. For the
first time since her serious attack
she has failed to recognize the pres

inquiries about her health. She has
been kept almost constantly under the
influence of choral since her relapse.

SPARED HIS YOUNG BOY.
James Stacey, an Insane Railroad Engineer
at Clarence, Mo-, Killed His Wife,
His Daughter and Himself.

Macon, Mo-, June 6.-James Stacey,
IN engineer, aged 81, living ten miles
east of here on the Burlington road,
n a fit of mental alteration killed his
wife and daughter, aged 10, and then,
after relating the fact to neighbor,
shot himself to death. James, an
eight-year-old son, was spared. The
tragedy occurred when the victims
were asleep.
Stacey, who for the past 20 years
had been a trusted engineer at the
Clarence water tank, arose at three
4. m. to go to work. 1t is known that
he loved his family, but it seems that
when he awoke he was seized with an
uncomfortable impulse to commit the
horrible deed. The wife was the first
to suffer. With a clock weight Stacey
sent her into eternity with blow on
the left temple. His daughter, Alma,
aged 10, beautiful girl, was asleep
in a room upstairs with James, her
brother. There the father next went,
and, picking up the boy, laid him on
a cot in an adjoining room. Then,
with the clock weight, the crazed
man ended the life OF his daughter as
he had that of his wife. Stacey was
a mason in good standing. He was
addicted to no bad habits, and had, it
is stated, amassed quite a fortune.
His home life was peculiarly pleasant
and in the village of Clarence no fam
lily was more highly respected than
was Stacey's. Until this tragedy
Stacey's sanity has never been ques-
toned, but now it is thought long
hours of work and loss of sleep unbat-
anced his mind

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
NNNNWNNnNMNNNM NORTHUMBERLAND Observation-Disclosures
Kansas Bankers at Lawrence.

Kansas Bankers at Lawrence.
The Kansas Bankers association
held a largely-attended meeting at
Lawrence last week. Congressman
Bowersock welcomed the bankers to
the city. In his annual address Pres
ident Chandler said that only nine
Kansas banks failed to show earnings
in 1899, of which seven were new
banks. In 1900 no national banks and
only two private banks went into re-
ceivers' hands. The total deposits
of the Kansas banks for 1901 is $7O,-
11S,2S6, an increase of As per cent.
an two years. The report of Thorn
ton Cooke, of Herington, showed that
the work of the association in insur-
ing banks that belonged to it against
burglar losses and in furnishing bonds
for bank employees and officers had
been a successful feature of the work
of the past year. There are 315 banks
in the state that belong to the asso-
citation. a feature of the gathering
was the address of James II. Eckels,
comptroller of the currency under
President Cleveland, in University
hall, and it was listened to by bank
ers, professors and state university
students. Mr.. Eckels considered the
question of the monetary standard
settled forever, and passed it quick
1y by. He urged the bankers to take
II greater interest in politics and to
study political questions carefully. In
regard to recent acquisitions of ter
ritory by the United States, Mr.. Eek
els said that the welfare of the new
possessions should be considered
rather than the interests of the Unit
ed States, and urged the introduction
of American schools, laws and finan-
cial systems. Mr.. Eckels did not think
that combinations of capital are
menace to the American people, but
rather a benefit, and he hopes to see
perfect harmony between labor and
capital.
