penditures against a deficit last year of

ury department today. The total deficit

day $25, $4,000 against $11S, 795, 900 last

month s76,270, 900 and for the fiscal year
just closed 1868. o64 900. The corporation
tax receipts, which are included in the
last named figures, aggregated ST, S62,-
000
The total ordinary receipts for the
last year stand against $500, 589, 900 for
the year before. The customs receipts
during the last fiscal year reached
1892, 1000 against $500, 900 the prior

Bristow, it is true, voted against the
Payne-Aldrich tariff in obedience to his
convictions of duty to his constituency.
In the late session he pertinaciously
opposed, too, all the worst features of
the Taft Wickersham railroad bill. To
his strenuous efforts are largely due
the long and short haul clause of the
bill, which encountered the administrs-
TONS opposition to the last. But this
is no reason for the exercise Of the
party vengeance of the big president in
dominating a postmaster in Salina in
opposition to his modest wish.
Senator Bristow does not need the
Salina postof1ice. But President Taft,
Postmaster General Hitchcock and
Senator Curtis will find that they need
the people of Kansas. who will not fail
to resent the indignity put upon their
popular champion. Besides, as this
nomination for postmaster will require
confirmation by the senate. the magma
nimity or Indifference of Senator Bris-
tow will alone prevent its rejection.
THE incident in itself has no inter-
est save in it's betrayal of the spiteful
disposition Of President Taft and his
Observation-Disclosures Republican SEN

courage to exercise their own judg
ment in matters of legislation

CHOKED TO DEATH.
Body of Young Woman Found i'll
Missouri River.

Jefferson City, Mo-, July 1.-Coroner
o. E. Amos of Cole county held an m
quest over the body of MISS Anna
Wendler which was found in the Mis-
souri, river yesterday. He examined
witnesses on the theory that the young
woman was murdered.
The sheriff is aiding the coroner in
the investigation. .....
Examination of the body today
showed that the young woman was
choked to death with a piece of wire
clothes line. The wire was imbedded
in the flesh of her neck and was at
first thought to be her watch chain as
her gold watch was attached to the
end of it.
Annie had a watch chain and could
not have been wearing a wire for that
purpose.
The state will offer a $500 reward
for the capture and conviction of the
murderer and an equal or larger sum
will be offered by Wendler.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict that Miss Wendler, who was 80
years old. came to her death at the
hands of persons unknown to the jury.
Coroner Amos decided that at least
two men took part in the murder of
the young woman. According to the
coroner the murderers met their vic
tim near the Rising creek bridge
where her effects were found. Then,
according to the coroner, the men at
tackled the woman and later made her
walk three miles with them to the
river, where she was thrown into the
water after having been choked by a
wire.
The worn out stocking feet and torn
clothing are cited by the coroner to
confirm his theory.
