Burned Down.

Toledo, O.--The bodies of Ludwig

neighbors buried under the floor OF
the cellar in their home.
This morning the Kruger residence
mile west of Toledo was discovered
ablaze and there was no trace Of the
Kruegers. When the ashes had cool

but there was no evidence Of the aged
couple having been burned to death.
Later In the day two boys were dig

the brick floor had been tempered
with. One of them raised brick and
the face of the dead woman was re-
vealed. More of the floor was taken
up and the body Of Mr.. Krueer was
found, buried with his head at the
feet of his wife. Both had been
stabbed to death, presumably with a
butcher knife. }& "

Budget Of a Million.

The budget which the legislature
will be asked to pass within a very
few days will total $1,460 900 in round
numbers, so Chairman E. r. Moore of
the house appropriations committee
estimates. This is within $4,000 Of
the amount of funds at the disposal of
the committee which have in charge
the disbursement of the state money.
Chairman Moore explained that the
$4,000 must be left in the state treas
ury so as to keep the ship of state
from going on the rocks during the
period from July to October, when
there are no taxes coming in. The
house appropriations committee has
but three little bills left, and these,
while of little Importance, will be rec.

ment. The senate appropriations COM
mittee is taking similar actions with
