Merrill's Body Found.

Seattle, Wash, July 16.-The body Of
Dave Merrill, who escaped from the
Oregon penitentiary in company with
Harry Tracy, has been found near
Poor Farm, Chahalis, where Tracy
claimed to have killed his partner for
turning chicken-hearted.
Tracy's story that he had slain Mer-
rill was not believed, and it has sew
eral times been reported that Merrill
has been seen and presumably had a
rendezvous with Tracy. The finding
of the body confirms the bandits
declaration that he slew his fellow
fugitive.

REV. r. DEWITT TALMAGE DEAD.
Noted Presbyterian Minister Passes
Away at Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 14-Rev. T.
Dewitt Talmage, the noted Presby-
terian divine, died at O'Clock Satur-
day night at his residence in this city.
1t had been evident for some days
that there was no hope of recovery
and the attending physicians so in
formed the family. The patient grad
ually grew weaker until life passed
away so quietly that the members Of
the family, all of whom were watching
at the bedside, hardly knew that he
had gone. The immediate cause of
death was inflammation of the brain.
DR.. Talmage was in poor health
ton for Mexico for a vacation and rest
six weeks ago. He was then suffer
ing from Influenza and serious ca
tarrhal conditions. Since his return
to Washington some time ago he has
been quite i'll. Until Thursday, how
ever, fears for his death were not en-
tertained. The last rational words
uttered by DR.. Talmage were on the
day preceding the marriage of his
daughter, when he said: "Of course |
know you, Maud" Since then he had
been unconscious.
At DR.. Talamage's bedside, besides
his wife, were these members of his
family: Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage,
Brooklyn; Mrs. Daniel Mangam,
Brooklyn: Mrs. Allen E. Donnau,
Richmond; Mrs Clarence Wycoff and
Miss Talmage, Washington.

TO VOTE ON EXCLUSION BILL.
Senate Will Soon Reach Final Action
on the Measure.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-In ac-
cerdance with the agreement reached
on Friday last, the senate on Wednes-
day will vote on the Chinece exclusion
bill and the present understanding is
that the Philippine government bill
will be taken up Immediately after
ward
1t is probable however, that the
Philippine bill will soon be broken in
on by the calling up of the river and
barber bill, being an appropriation
bill, which is privileged measure and
can be taken up at any time, but it
is not the desire of the committee to
have it considered until there shall
have been 4 chance afforded to make
further amendments in the committee.
That opportunity will not be provided
until Thursday, following the vote on
the Chinese bill.
The opponents of the Chinese bill
will press their fight from this time

will concentrate their efforts on pro-

will be made to secure the adoption

There will be a number of short
speeches on the bill today and Tues

ASK FOR EXECUTIVE cLEMENcY.
Friends of Rhea Intercede to Save Him
from the GalioWs.


from the GaIloWs.
LINCOLN, Neb., April Ex-Governor
Savage listened to arguments for eX-
ecutive clemency in behalf of William
Rhea, who is under sentence to be
executed at the penitentiary on April
25 for the murder of Herman Zahn, q
saloon keeper in Snyder, about year
ago. In the morning Rhea's three at
torneys. George w. Loomis and w. J.
Courtright of Fremont and George A.
Adams of this city, appeared before
the governor and pleaded for mercy,
and in the afternoon Mrs. Callen
Thompson of this city had an inter-
view with the governor on the same
mission. Mrs. Thompson has been cir
culating petition among the women
OF the city and up to noon today had
obtained several hundred signatures.
The attorneys call attention to the
fact that Rhea, when the murder was
committed, was in the company Of
older men. They insist that he is only
10 years of age and that under the con-
ditions existing at the time of the
murder was unable to distinguish the
difference between right and wrong,
or that he was influenced by the older
men to do that which he would not
have done had he been alone. MIR.
Courtright, who is the governors cou
sin, was retained in the case yesterday
and today made his first effort in be-
half of the condemned man. Cover
nor Savage took the case under ad-
vlsement, but intimated that decision
would not be given for several days.

FRANKLIN, Neb, April ia

empty sack
William Carpenter, proprietor of the
Commercial hotel, received a letter
through the mail which contained the
following:
"As | want to leave and am unable
to get work, | want you to put $50 in
sack and place it on the corner post
one block west OF the hotel at mid
night. In case you fail to comply you
will be out of business IN less than
twenty days"
Mr.. Carpenter fixed UP a package
and placed it on the post, and in com
pany with Frank w Barber, James Nc
Courtney and several others laid in
wait to capture the culprit.
At O'Clock in the morning the fel-
low came for the money and as soon
as he had taken the package from the
post the watchers rushed after him
and ordered him to halt, but instead
he ran. Nine shots were fired at him,
but with no result.
