A dispatch from well-posted and relia-

not be learned that there has been any frost
in Kansas; at any rate not enough to do any
damage to corn. In most sections OF the
State the crop is out of danger of frost,
much of it being already in shock
IN NEBRASKA.
OMAHA, Sept. L.
There was no frost here on Saturday
night. owing to cloudy weather. Dispatches

A white frost resulting in terrible de-

this county The loss to farmers is paralyz-

$500, 900. The crop of tomatoes is almost
entirely ruined, three gardeners alone in
this city losing over Sc, 900. The corn crop
is almost worthless throughout this section,
and farmers say that the frost has rendered
it good for fodder only. Buckwheat beans
and squashes are almost destroyed. Fruit
is not injured. 1t is the most destructive
frost occurring in this city in ten years.

The frost was quite general throughout
Michigan Sunday night. The reports do
not indicate it to have been of heavy char
acter, but sufficiently so to cut down the
partly grown vegetables and iniure corn
somewhat. The latter is thought as yet not
to be seriously injured.
About East Saginaw the frost of the past
two nights was unusually heavy. Corn and
potatoes were seriously damaged, and in
many Instances entirely killed. In the
counties north and west of East Saginaw
serious injuries were done to crops, and in
consequence farmers are much discouraged
In the neighborhood Of Kalamazoo corn was
much injured, at least half of the crop hav-
ing been destroyed. In some localities it is
even reported that none will ripen. Grapes
lave been killed, while beans, garden veg
etables and late crops will amount to al
most nothing. Potatoes were mostly saved,
Near jackson, also, the corn crop was
ruined, while potatoes were much damaged

fatal stairs unassisted at the final
moment. The drop and its workings
was looked into with an air of NOR

asked, is that the placer After re-
turning to her quarters she was
visited by the chaplain and manifested

dictiOn to try such offense, he shall be

the question is, who are peace officers {?
Read, ON this, article A, criminal pro-
cedure: "The following are peace
officers: The sheriff and his deputies,
constable. policeman and any private
person specially appointed to execute
criminal process"
And then, especially. the scope of
the following, article 906, criminal
procedures: when a justice of the
peace has good cause to believe that
an offense has been committed, or is
about to be committed against the
laws of this state, he may summon
and examine witness, or witnesses, in
relation thereto; and if it shall appear
from the statement of any witness,
or witnesses, that an otfense has been
committed, the justice shall reduce
said statement to writing and cause
the same to be sworn to by the wit
ness or witnesses making the same,
and thereupOn such justice shall issue
a warrant for the arrest of the Cffend-
ers, the same as if complaint had been

How to. and Who Can Do 1t.

For the benefit of all officers who
are tender-footed on the subject of
"overstepping authority" ETC., we
give below the state law regarding
the duties of officers in regard to
gambling. 1t will be seen by all, that
with the proper vigilance on the part
of those elected or appointed to per-
form their duty, gambling can be
suppressed. 1t is all mamby-pamby
nonsense for any officers to say they
are powerless. Still, to make the law
little heavier as to penalty would be
more effectual. As it is, however, there
is no excuse left for heproper officers
not hauling up those keeping the
houses but also those gaming. In the
penal code, article 1868: "If any justice
of the peace, mayor or recorder shall
know the fact that an offense against
the gaming law has been committed
by any person, and shall fail or neg
Iect to cause such person to be arrest
ed and prosecuted for same, he shall
be punished by q fine Of not less than
twenty-five nor more than one hu1<

HOUSTON, March 30.-This morning
at Market square personal encounter
occurred, which has been the chief
topic of discussion to-day. AS John
Reichman, city secretary and treasur-
er, stepped off the street car on his
way to his Office, he was attacked by
CASTOR Ashe, of the city collectors
Office, and struck over the head sever
al times with loaded cane, leaving
some ugly marks Friends interfered
and the matter was dropped for the
time. Ashe says that Reichman in
suited his sister, a school teacher, say
ing in substance that he desired no
trouble with her family when the
school teacher made claim for ten
dollars which Reichman asserted he
had paid. Bad feeling has long ex-
listed between the treasurer's and col
lector's offices, and the present
affair is the outcome of it.
The collectors friends say that
the cause of Walkers shortage, the
investigation of which was lately
suppressed, was that Walker had paid
the money into the city treasury
without taking receipt from Reich
man. Ashe was placed in the coIlec-
tors Office by his brother, Sam Ashe,
county collector, who is on Walkers
bond, to fill Walkers place, presuma-
bly, until the $1,000 shortage is paid
back to the bondsmen. The citizens
are about equally divided as to the
justice of the attack, but the matter
is not yet ended, there being vague
hints about duel, as Ashe is not yet
satisfied.
Criminal court meets next Monday
and there are several important cases
to be tried.

moved to the gallows, where she was
seated in a chair, and evidently did
not like the crowd. After prayer the
sheriff handed her paper with these
words: "Emeline Meaker, if YOU
have anything to say why the execu-
ton of the sentence should not take
place, you have now an opportunity. -
This was done on account of her
deafness. She was calm and pale and
sat with closed eyes. Goodbye, Mr..
Hull, have nothing to say, only
forgive you for hanging me-" Her
legs were then tied, she standing all
the time. and showed no signs of
trembling. She said, MAY God for
give you all" The drop fell at half
past 1, and after hanging thirty min
utes she was taken down dead. She
died with scarcely a struggle. She
was buried in the prison cemetery
this evening.
