When ready to leave your order for a spring suit, you will naturally wish to see the latest styles, the largest variety (that your fancy may have unlimited range in choosing the materials). Avoiding deceptive cheapness and exorbitant high prices, you want value for your money in the material, trimmings and making of a suit, no matter whether the price is 25 or $50. And above all you want a becoming style of cut and perfect fit.

To say that we have the biggest line in the city of worsted, cassimere, and cheviot suitings, proves nothing. Let us rather request that after you have seen other stocks of woolens we may be allowed to show you ours. Our position, at the head of fine tailoring in this city, warrants the statement that if you want quality in the fabric, style in the cut, ease and grace in the fit, in fact, the best of everything pertaining to high class tailoring at moderate prices, come where you will not be disappointed. Our experienced cutter is now cutting the new style two-button cut-a-way coat with complete success.

The Majority Scheme Reported to the Full Oommittee. IHE MINORITY ALLOWED TEN DAYS. Tax on Hides Tin-Plate Tax Doubled-A Tax on Silver Lead Ore Extension of the Free List. Washtkgtox, April 1. At a special meeting of the Ways and Means Committee yesterday Chairman McKinley presented the Republican Tariff bill.

The minority will be allowed ten days in which to offer amendments and prepare their views before the -bill Is reported to the House. The bill, according to Chairman McKinley, will effect a reduction of $45,000,000. The only change of special significance made in tbe Tariff bill since those already noted within the last week is in hides, which, have finally been placed upon the dutiable list at the rate of fifteen per cent, ad valorem, with a proviso allowing a drawback on exported goods made from imported hides equal to the rate of duty paid. The imposition of a duty on hides causes the greatest dissatisfaction among the Massachusetts members. They will oppose this clause to the utmost Two items of especial interest to Kansas City and vicinity in the Tariff bill as finally completed by the Republican members of the Ways and Means Committee are tin plate and silver lead ore.

Kansas City packers asked to have the duty on tin plate reduced. This bill doubles it The Kansas City Board of Trade asked to have silver and lead ores from Mexico admitted free. This bill imposes a duty of 1 XA cents a pound. The committee justifies its action on tin plate by claiming it will build up the manufacturing interest in tin. The additions made to the free list are as follows: Acids used for medicinal, chemical or manufacturing purposes, not spec ally provided for; agates, unmanufactured; amber, unmanufactured or crude gum; anallne salts; any animal Imported especially for breeding purposes, provided that no anch animal shall be admitted free except It pure bred, of a recognized breed, and has been duly registered in the book of record established for that breed (the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe regulations for tbe strict enforcement of these provisions) animals brought into tbe United States for a period not exceeding six months for the purpose of exhibition or competition for prizes offered by any agricultural or racing association but a bond shall bo given in accordance with the regulations prescribed by the Secretary ot the Treasury; also teams of animals, including heir harness, tackle and tbe wagons or other vehicles actually owned by persons emigrating from foreign countries to the United States with their families and in actual use for the purpose of such emigration under such regulations as tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury may prescribe; articles in a crude state used in dyeing or tanning notBpeciuliy enumerated for, in the sack, barrel or hogshead.

Oberijn, April 1. About five years ago Frank and Grocian Chleboard, a couple of Bohemians, settled two miles southeast of At wood and were afterward joined by their father and mother, two sisters and Joe. In 1887 the mother died suddenly and was buried by the family in great haste, the neighbors knowing nothing of the affair until after the burial. This excited much comment, but they were excused on the ground that they were an ignorant set and unlearned in American customs. About a year later the father disappeared and was gone several weeks before it was known in the neighborhood.

When the Chleboard's were asked of his whereabouts they said he had gone back to Bohemia and that he had started on foot. December 25, 1880, Mary, the wife of Grocian Chleboard, whipped. Joe severely. He complained to a neighbor boy, saying that if they punished him again that he (Joe) would tell how Grocian and Mary had. killed his mother.

It is supposed that this threat reached Grocian and his wife. On the afternoon of December 26 Mary went to a neighbor's, Hoseenick, and while there got a couple of apples, one of which she at herself, bringing the other home to Joe. It was now about sunset and Mary and Joe went out to do the chores. Grocian soon followed them and Joe was told that there was an apple in the house on the table for him and, boylike, he went in, ate the apple and in fifteen minutes was taken sick and laid down on some chairs. Then he was seized with convulsions and the rigidity characteristic of strychnine poisoning was manifest.

Then Grocian took the boy. on his back and was met by a neighbor on the Atwood and Oberlin road, of whom he inquired: "What is the matter with my brother? lie is as stiff as a board." When asked where he was going Grocian replied that he was going to Mr. Harper's for medioine. On this same road near Harper's house which was about one mile from Chleboard's, was an old well known as the "Horn well," long since abandoned and 180 feet deep. Grocian at length reached Harper's honse with his brother suffering terribly but unable to speak.

He at first refused to send for a doctor, but afterward yielded and Dr. Mulugra, of Atwood, was called and soon pronounced it a case of poisoning by strychnine. The coroner was notified and an inquest heldwith the result that the jury found that Joe Chleboard died of strychnine poisoning administered by Grocian Chleboard, an elder brother, and his wife, Mary, and both were held for trial for murder in the first degree. Apost mortem examination was made under the supervision of the coroner, and Matthews took the stomach of the deceased and sent part of the contents to Prof. Bailey, of Lawrence, who upon applying the tests found strychnine.

Prof. Bailey came to Atwood and gave testimony, taking part of the contents of the stomach which had been preserved by Dr. Matthews and finding strychnine again. The trial of the couple began last week and took five days, and the jury was out eighteen hours and brought in a verdict of acquittal for Mary Chleboard, but found Grocian guilty of murder in the second degree. Grocian will be sentenced to-day.

The theory of the prosecution is that Grocian intended throwing his brother into the old Horn well and was on his way there when intercepted by a neighbor on his way to a lyceum. This view of the case is strengthened when it is remembered that three families lived within half a mile of Grocian's house. Many believe that the old man Chleboard was thrown into this well, but whether he was or not may forever remain a matter of conjecture, as the well has been filled up since the Chleboards were arrested. body of the old lady will be exhumed and new developments are promised. A Feeling: of Confidence.

Memphis. April A special to the Appeal from Helena, says the river is at a stand still and stands 47.7 feet in the gauge, three inches and a half below the high water mark of 1886. The steamer Houston Combs and barges, loaded with provisions, donated by the people of this place, reached the Laconia Circle yesterday morning. The unfortunate people of that district are being relieved as fast as possible. The levees around Helena are still in good condition and the feeling is one of confidence.

Fatal FaU From a Horse. Kansas City, April 1. Edward Reliford was thrown from a horse at the corner of Twentieth and Wyoming streets yesterday afternoon. The animal kicked him on the head after he had fallen upon the pavement, rendering him unconscious and injuring him seriously and probably fatally. He was taken to his home, corner of Eighteenth and Dripps street.

Perished In the Storm. Chetesne, April 1. Edward Happy, son of a rich merchant, has been lost in the mountains for three weeks and' is believed to have perished. His horse, with blankets and saddle, was found Saturday twenty miles from the road on which Jdappy was traveling when overtakenby the storm. Vice Admiral Rowan at Rest.

SEVERAL AMENDMENTS REJECTED. Republican Speak -Against Profligacy in Pension legislation Th Montana Election Css Taken l. Washikgtox, April 1. In the Senate yesterday th Dependent Pension bill was taken the first- question being on Mr. Plumb amendment as to the arrears of pensibna making1 pensions on account ot wounds.

or. injuries dis ease commence from death or dis charge-of the soldier when Jtfr. Berry-inquired of Mr. Plumb whether any estimate had been made of the coat of rer moving the limitations of the arrears of pensions. Mr.

Plumb replied that the. Commisr sloner of Pensions had stated some weeks ago that the cost would be about 5478,000,000 and that the chairman of the House Committee on Pensions had estimated it at 9500, 000,000. It would be somewhere about these figures. Mr. Frye regretted that the amendment was before the Senate, not that it placed him in a position where he had to vote for or against it, but because he should regard its adoption as a terrible menace to the soldiers of the country.

He had held for a long time (and he had undertaken to show it in addresses to bodies of soldiers in his own State) that there was a pace too rapid altogether for their welfare and for their good. There was a danger of overleaping in the matter of pensions. When Mr. Cleveland commenced to, veto pension bills the Democratic party ratified what he did, and not only the Democratic party, but many of business men of the Republican party too. He said to Senators who were pressing the amendment that they were imperiling the truest interests of the soldiers and were creating great prejudice against pensions.

If the amendment were adopted and the bill enacted into a law the soldiers who looked forward for a Service Pension bill would look in vain. He dare not vote for. a proposition that would be absolutely destructive to the soldiers' interests, and he should be compelled to vote no on the amendment. Mr. Hawley expressed bis personal obligation to Mr.

Frye for telling the serious truth in the matter. He did not believe that the American soldiers asked for the amendment. He would stake his political standing on the assertion that out of any 500 old soldiers there would be found a majority against it. Headlong extravagance would bring men Into power who would stint and squeeze and deny the soldier. There was a limit in the matter of pension legislation.

He appealed to every old soldier. He appealed to every old soldier to be reasonable and just. The American Nation had certainly-not been stingy. Pension expenditures for the next year would amount to No Nation in the world had -ever appropriated for its soldiers a sum that could be compared that. lie begged- the old soldiers to remember that the objection to getting into another war would be not the cost of carrying it on, but the consequences of it.

And he also asked them to remember that those enormous sums of money came out of the pockets, very largely, of people as poor as themselves. He told an anecdote of General Grant on the occasion of his last visit to the Capitol. With his characteristic modesty he kept out of the chamber, and sat in one of the cloak rooms, where almost every Senator visited him. llesat with the accustomed cigar and talked freely on the very question introduced. He said that on his way to the Capitol a clergyman went to him asking him to sign a memorial asking that every man who had ever been a prisoner of war should be pensioned.

He had told the clergyman that he ought to be in better business; that there were all kinds of prisoners some whotlet themselves be caught easily, some who had a stomach ache or sore toe when a oattle was in the air and who were caught by a squad of rebel cavalry, and some who were caught ahead of the skirmish line. Some of them had a good rest and were all the better for being prisoners. "I will tell you," said. General Grant, "what I would do if I were President. I would sign any reasonable bill to relieve the distress of an honest old soldier, or of his widow 'and children, but I would not vote oneollar to the able bodied men." "The last expression," said Mr.

Hawley, "sank into my, memory. I live up to that. That is my platform. I do not believe that my State asks me to add $500,000,000 to the debt of the Republic. The theory of a pension is that it takes care of a man who is to-day a sufferer by reason of his service in the army; but not that it shall go back ten or fifteen or twenty years (when a man did not apply for a pension) and pay him 55,000, 56,000 or 810,000.

If we are going to spend 5500,000,000 it would be better to divide it pro rata- and not throw it away at random. Aim as sharply as you can at. actual necessities and take care of the old soldiers, but do not be stampeded by claim agents. Do exactly what you think is generous and right and the country will sustain you in it." After further discussion Mr. Plumb's amendment was rejected.

Yeas 9, nays, 46. Mr. Call offered an amendment to include those who served in Indian wars prior to 1870. It was rejected 20 to .28. Mr.

Vest offered -an amendment providing that the money necessary to meet the appropriation under this bill should be raised by an income tax of 6 per cent. on incomes between 53,000 and S5, 000, 7K per cent between $5,000 and 510,000 and 10 per cent over It was laid on the table; yeas 20, nays 17. A strict party vote. Mr. Plumb offered- an amendment to pay a pension of 58 a month to all who.

erred ninety days in the late war who Plumber's Strike. Chicago, April One thousand plumbers' will strike to-day in Chicago. They will postively refuse to touch new work and wiJl leave such work as they are engaged in unfinished. This course was determined upon as a meeting of the Journeymen Plumbers Protective and Beuevolent association of this city, held last night in hall. The strike was brought about by the refusal of the master plumbers to concede a demand for general advance in wages for both skilled and unskilled journeymen and a half holiday Saturdays.

The men profess to be ready for a long seige if necessary. Toils lightning Around ohn 3Iatteman. Kansas City, April 1. A special to the Star from Leavenworth, Kansas, says: The officers and detectives seem to have more than an idle theory to support their belief that improper rela-lions have existed between John Matte-man and his daughter, and the discovery on the part of Mrs. Matteman that such relations existed led to her murder.

Each hour appears to strengthen this view of the murder. The Times says this morning that a neighbor of the Mettemans and one who ha known them for some time is -responsible for the statement that when Mrs. Matte-man returned home Sunday night she discovered her husband and daughter in a compromising Matte-oinn, so the neighbors stated, felled his wife to the fluor and death, disraem-berment and mutilation of the body followed. It is questionable to suppose that robbery was the cause of the murder. Bobbers do not.

as a rule, commit a thft und then remain to cut in pieces and place in bags the different arts of their iciiua. That theory, therefore, is well nigh exploded. Matte-man is still held in custody. Nuws From the Flooded District. St.

April 1. Information from the flooded districts in Arkansas where the levees broke last week, is to ihe effect that the breaks occurr-ed so suddenly that the people had barely lime 10 save iunr mes, oemg ouimeu to witness the de-tniction of their property and much of their live stock. These "breaks occurrea in what is knwn as the Laconin Circle, which is between Helena and Arkansas City. In three hours the circle was filled even ith the surface of the river.avfragin' eight feet deep. On Thursday the steamer -Newark was sent from Helena to aid the people.

A correspondent on board writes that when the steamer arrived at the circle a number 01 houses were found to have been blown off their blocks or stilts and careened over into the water. Several people were blown into the water and swam to trees where they remained all of last Thursday night, and a number of cattle were blown from the levee and drowned On Friday men went over the whole circle in skiffs and transferred the peo pie from the trees and roofs to the gin nouses, which are generally large- and substantial buildings. Ail of these houses are now packed with people, two hundred persons being in some of i hem. The Coombs brought 130 people and took them to Helena, arriving ihere yesterday. When the Coombs came out of the circle the steamer Titan, with barges, was going in, and it is thought that they can bring as many of the people as desire to get away.

Many of the planters are utterly ruined and the remainder have no seed to plant, even- should the waters subside in time to put in a crop. Tlu--uiffering has been and will be great, and aid of all kinds will be necessarv t' carry the people through their affliction.

Greexviixe, April 1. The protection levee north of the city gave way at noon yesterday, despite the most heroic efforts on the part of the people, and the waters poured in upon a city which since its existence has been above the waters of the Mississippi at its greatest height The flood is a tremendous one, and the volume of water that is pouring in from three breaks above is spreading out in all directions, inundating plantation after plantation which in the flood of 1882 were above water. It is estimated by engineers that a large portion of the city will not be flooded, and the greatest height tho water will reach in the lower portions will be three feet A break in the levee of about fifty feet occurred at Austin, and it has widened to 300 feet. There is no possible way to close the gap and as the levee is on a sandy foundation for a mile from that point the break may increase to an unlimited extent All the plantations in the vicinity of the break are being rapidly submerged and the tenants are leaving without saving any of their effects. The water from the break will have an outlet into the Yazoo river and inundate large sections of country in Sunflower and Yazoo Counties.

The water here has reached Washington avenue, one of the principal business streets of the city, and the people are navigating in stiffs Xo lives are reported lost and no actual suffering is anticipated unless the flood is continued for some time. Two white men and one negro, going from Stoneville to Greenville in a skiff, were drowned by the upsetting of the boat Their names have not been learned. A number of casualties have occurred from skiffs coming in contact with wire fences and other hidden obstructions. At Rolling Forks Deer creek is rising at the rate of three-quarters of an inch an hour and the back water on the west side has completely covered all the land between there and Steele's bayou, with the exception of about a half mile strip of high land along the bank of the creek.
