It is olliclully admitted that Minister Loomls will not return to Veno.nolu. There are two reasons for this decision In the first place, Mr. Loomih lias suf fered in health in his uncongenial post, and in the second place, the president is not disposed to expose him again to the merciless attacks he has Mitfercd in Veneucla as a result of the execu tion of the orders of the state depart ment.

Conductor Irwin Montgomery's injuries may prove fatal. Canter County Kuncliinuu Dead. A. A. Stuckey, a prominent citizen of Ansley,Neb., and well-known ranch man, died uud was buried here. The cause of deuth was erysipelas. WIFE MURDERER CAUGHT. W. II. Klenauilre Unit Nrrlmi Ctinrgfi to Aiumit to Tell SlnuiKe Tiito. On the night of May IS, Mrs. V. II. Klensmlro disappeared from her home in Holton, Kan,, and until Sunday her whoroatamts were not known. Her iKMly was found burled in a dlteh on her husliund's farm one mile north of Holton. The discovery was mnde by the oldest daughter, who had been searching over the place for some evi dences of her mother's body in the belief that foul piny had been the cause of the disappearance. The gully in which the Ixidy was ex humed is an open Held on high ground. Appearances indicate that the body was thrown into the dlteh without any excavating, and simply covered over with dirt to a depth of two or three feet. On top of this was piled a heap of hedge brush, which had recently been piled near. The grave was reason ably well concealed and would not have attracted ordinary attention. Marks of a heavy blow were found. After his wife's disappearance, Kiens mire told his children that he and his wife hud quarellcd during the night and that she had left home and prob ably had gone to some friends in the north pari of the county. The children appeared to accept tills explanation and made no further in quiry. Some days later Klensmlro told his children that he had received a telegram from Tcvns stating that his wife had the yellow fever and that hu would leave that day to take euro of her, saying that if she died he would bury her remains there. He refused to hIiow the children the telegram. Thev later learned he had not re ceived a telegram. Then his daughter began the search of the farm. Detectives wore placed on the ease and Klensmlro was arrested at Kansas City, Kan., and was taken to Topeka. He declares his wife committed suicide and that lie burled the body because he feared the disgrace. It is also be lieved Klensmlro murdered a brother-in-law in 18U'J in order to secure insur ance money, and he may have to ans wer to both charges. DUTIES ABOUT FINISHED I'uhi'M lime l.lttlo Left to Do In China l'liiu Indemnity Payment. China's uncondltoinal acceptance of of 150,000,000 as the indemnity to bo paid the powers has caused great satis faction among the foreign ministers at Pekin, as it only leaves, practically, u few minor details to complete the ne gotiations. The phrase in the joint note "to the satisfaction of the pow ers,'' may cause some delay in the evac uation of China, as the ministers fail to see how China can guarantee pay ment, as all the ministers believe it would lie a mistake to have a large body of foreign otlicials collecting rev enue. Were revenue thus collected over S.000 ofllcials would be required and the aggregate salariesof these men would be very large and amount to more than the ordinary Chinese squco.o. The majority of the ministers now favor raising the customs to 10 per cent and taking 5,000.000 taels yearly from the likin tax. Tills method would give, after the payment of inter est on the foreign debts now existing, about ail, 000,000 taels a year. The ministers would agree to this system if China will discontinue the collection of all likin duties on foreign goods.
