ROCK ISLAND ILLINOIS, WEDNESDAY MORNING JUNE H.

Lake The prospect is encouraging for an
average yield in central counties. Adams
Calhoun, Logan, Pike and Schuyler being
the only ones below average, with more
than half an average yield. The greatest
increase of acreage is in the southern part
of the state. The most marked improve
ment the past monthis in the central di-
vision. The prospect is improved IA per
cent. since May 1st, and the condition of
June 1st is per cent. better than June
1st, 1881. With favorable weather the
crop will be large. Frequent and continu
ed showers, however, would cause the
crop to lodge and largely reduce the yield.

RAILROADS.
PASSENGER RATES.

CHICAGO. June 13.-The seaboard trunk
lines recently proposed to Chicago lines
that instead of ticketing at a net rate of
$25 from New York to Kansas City, they
would collect $50. 40 from passengers, pro
rate it through, and require the terminal
line to refund $40. The general agents
of the Chicago railways met to-day and
passed resolution to the effect that the
seaboard lines should use net rates, but in
case they should refuse agreeing to the
rebate order, provided the total amount of
rebate is allowed to the line refunding the
same, and that all rebate orders be subject
to sight draft without notice.

GRAIN WAR

citement is caused here over the announce
ment that the board of trade of East st.
Louis had appointed a grain inspector to
inspect all grain arriving there by railroad
or going out by barge from elevators.
Heretofore all has been done uniformally
with such work on this side. Should the
new order obtain, grain will then be in
speeted by the Chicago standard, creating
endless confusion and greatly damaging
the grain trade of st. Louis. A bitter con-
test is imminent and the matter will prob
ably get into the courts. Elevator men
threaten to arrest any inspector who tries
to serve under the new arrangement.

Deciding the Assassin's Doom.
special to the Cincinnati Commercial.


= WASHINGTON, May 15-The Critic
says it is now pretty safe to assert
that Chief Justice Cartier, aud Jus,
tices Macarthur, Hagner and James,
who sat in hearing on the appeal in
the case of the United States against
the assassin of President james A.
Garfield, have harmonized their views,
and that decision will be given on
Monday next, affirming the Judgment
of the court below, and the assassin
will hang on June Both, next. The
consultation was prolong-
ed one, made necessarily so
on account of the inn
portant issues involved in the
cases, and which were examined and
discussed with great care, and final>
ly resulted in a unanimous conclu-
sion being reached by the judges.
They are very reticent upon what
passed in the consultation room, and
in giving the positions held by the
members of the Court upon the ques-
tions it is only proper to state that
it comes from outside parties. 1t is
said that from the outset there were
only two points of difference; the
question of the admission of Mrs.
Dummies testimony, and that of jus
risdiction. On both of these points
the Court stood three in the affrma
tive and one In the negative, and the
effort was confined to bringing over
the disagreeing member, which
it is said was finally accom-
plished. The question of eyi-
dence was first settled and
that of jurisdiction then considered.
The fourth member of the court,
after consulting a number of au-
thorities, and listening to the views
of his brethren, is said to have come
to the same conclusion reached by
them, and thus made the court a
unit on all points under considera-
ton. The Chief Justice, in conver-
sation with the Critic, in very forcible
words, pronounced the statement
untrue that want of harmony pre-
vailed among the justices, but de-
clared that the utmost good feeling
prevailed. It was true that they
were in consultation for four hours,
and the case deserved that time.
Important questions were involved
in it, besides it was capital offense,
and should receive the gravest and
fullest consideration of the judges
who sat in hearing upon it.

LIMESTONE, May Is, 1882.


MIR. EDITOR We have one good, SUBJ
stantial wagon bridge across Big Limestone,
in the center of our town, built by our
esteemed fellow-citizen j. B. Klepper. We
have another in process of construction,
and still another on the tapis. The con-
tract is also let to MIR. Croft to put one
across Nola Chuckey River at Col. VIM. B.
Glaze's, south of this, all of which will
add considerably to the prosperity of this
place.
o. nj. Brabson is spoken of as Repub-
ican candidate for fioater from this district
to represent us in the next Legislature.
Oscar is an intelligent, progressive young
man, and deserves encouragement and re-
cognition at the hands of the people.
The Republican convention of Greene
County gave us strong ticket of good
men fox county officers, men with whom
everybody is satisfied, unless it is Old Vim
egar Bitters, of the New Era. But it seems
he don't want to be satisfied with anybody
or anything.
We have few regulators in our part of
the world, but they are men who pay their
own debts according to the laws of the
land, and no other way.
The political caldron is beginning to boil,
and of course will have to say something
on the subject. Yours, as ever,
PETE HADLEY.

Indian Troubles.

WAsHNeToN, May 1.-THE Com
missioner of Indian Affairs has Just
received the following telegram from
Indian Agent Llewellyn concerning
the apprehended trouble with the
Mescalero Apaches in New Mexico !:
MEscALFRo AGENCY, May 16-By
carrier, via Fort Stanton, 17th, to
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Washington: In view of the fail
ure of Congress to make appropria>
tions for subsistipg the Indians, and
in view of the fact that the beef and
-four On hand will only last until
about July 1st, and that
these Indians have no means
of subsisting themselves, it seems
to me that it will be policy to trans>
fer them to the War Department,
who should take charge of them be-
fore starvation compels them to
commit depredations which will
naturally lead to great loss of life
and the. destruction OF valuable
property. As soon as supplies are cut
off the military will have to act /;
therefore / think it advisable for the
troops to take charge of the Mesca
lero Apaches at once. Nothing short
of force can compel them to remain
on the reservation and starve. The
action of Congress in this matter
simply means, to the Mescaloros, ex
termination.

Adjutant.

the majority of the parishes favored
the division, he would not oppose
such action, but until he was satis>

favored it, he assumed his preroga-

A plan will be offered tomorrow
