which showed advances Tor the active list
of to : per cent, and which were about
the highest quotations OF the dey, there
was a persistent decline until the close.
At times the market was very active.
Several causes have operated to produce
to days results. Early in the day it was
reported that a new issue Of bonds,
amounting TO $25, O00, 900, wGs TO be
made by Lake Shore, the alleged
object being to take care of the bonded in.
debtedness OF the Nickel Plate. That
stock was decidedly weak, selling down in
the forenoon from 6St TO 6ii. Later
came a published synopsis of the Wander
bilt will. The Interpretation was made
that the bulk of the fortune had been left
in such q condition that it was liable to
come upon the street at any time, and old
conservative operators who have
been bulliDg Of late suddenly
turned and sold their stocks, especially
those in which Mr.. Vanderbilt was q prom

The Northwestern Rebellion.

BATTLEFRONT May S-Colonel Otter has not
decided on his plans for future attack on
Poundmaker. 1t must be renewed, but it cannot
be done without reinforcements. The scouts
sent out to reconnoiter the Indian position re-
turned to-day, and reported them still at Cut
Knife hill, where Saturdays engagement was
fought. 1t is believed their loss must have been
heavy, or they would have followed us up. It is
not known whether Big Bear has joined Pound
maker. The wounded all keeping well, in
comfortable quarters, with the best of attend
been received in the camp from priest on
Poundmaker's reserve, stating that the Indian
loss on Saturday was 125. Two seven-pounders
became disabled through the trucks breaking
down during the engagement, and caused their
withdrawal. Before that time the enemy was
almost completely silenced. The troops retired
imperfect order. The fight lasted seven hours.
The men had not slept the night before and had
had no breakfast Several fell asleep while lying
on the skirmishing-line, when the enemy had
been silenced for some time.

Democrats Delay the Canvass.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 8-Senator Merit
visited three towns in the Thirty fourth legis-
lative district yesterday, to investigate the
charges of alleged fraud which had been made,
and returned at noon to-day. He says that he
discovered in one place-Pennsylvania township
that the polls were not opened till P. NJ,
when the Republicans rushed in and obtained 20
majority. At others he claims to have discov-
cred that twenty FIVE illegal votes were cast An
other question which he raised is that the ticket
used simply read, ''For representative of the
General Assembly-W. A. Weaver" The point
he makes is that the words Thirty fourth
district should have been on it. A meeting will
be held this afternoon for the purpose of consd-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of contesting the seat
A private message from Virginia, ILL.,, says
that all arrangements had been made to canvass
the Cass county vote to-day, but that State Sen
ator Rhinehardt (Democrat) has arrived there
and that after he had consulted with the county
clerk, it has been given out that the canvass will
be postponed for seven days. in order to ascer-
tain if there were any Irregularities, and that all
the other clerks in the district have consented to
the postponement. Senator Rhinehardt had a

The Wheat Crop.

CHICAGO, May ga telegram from Milwaukee
says S. W. Talmadge, the crop statistcian, has
prepared the following information concerning
the present condition of the wheat crop, which
he has received during the past twenty -four
hours from the official authorities of the follow
ing States:
Kentucky, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Maryland, California Wisconsin, Iowa. West
Virginia, Dakota, Alabama, Georgia, New York,
Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Virginia, Nebraska
Minnesota and Tennessee. The reports, as q
whole, slow the winter wheat crop to be in n
very unpromising condition, and notwithstand-
ing that recent rains and warm weather
have given the plant better appear
the promise of the crop. On the contrary,
the good weather has developed the actual
damage done by winter killing and other causes
Thousands Of acres in the winter wheat produc-
ing States have been plowed up and sown to
other grain The decrease in area and damage
done by winter killing seems to be general in all
the winterwheat States, with but one exception
that Of Michigan. That State reports but a
slight decrease in acreage sown. and no winter
killing whatever, or damage of other kind
With this one exception the loss to the winter
wheat States is the greatest ever known, and
will prove serious blow to many Of the States
that depend largely upon their wheat product
The spring wheat States-Wisconsin, Iowa.
Minnesota, Nebraska, Dakota-have not yet
completed their spring seeding. but are far

Is unusually backward, and unless we have a

the Legislature from Sangamon county by the
Wings the Wing majority then being about
1000 When the Legislature met in 1854, the
Democrats and Wings were about evenly d.
vided, with five Free-soi Democrats holding the
balance of power. Mr.. Lincoln became the can
didate of the Wings for senator against General
Shields, the Democratic candidate. Not wishing
to vote for himself, and not caring to lose his
vote for his party Mr.. Lincoln resigned and a
special election was called. With 1000 majority
the Wings were confident of success. The De-
mocrats declared they would not nominate a
candidate, but the night before election John
Lamphier, who was then editor of the State
Register, and other Democrats set up job to
carry the election They put up a man named
Mcdonald. printed the tickets and sent runners
to all parts of the county The scheme worked
beautifully. and Mcdonald was elected to sue
coed Mr.. Lincoln over his Wing competitor. The
surprise of the Wings next day was something
like that of the Democrats at this time.

Report of the Condition of Cotton, Winter
Wheat and Other Grain.

WASHINGTON, May 8.-The May report of the
Department of Agriculture relates to the progress
of spring blowing, and of cotton planting. and to
the condition of winter grain meadows and
pastures. 1t also reports the prev ai.ing rates of
wages Of farm labor.
Cotton planting though comparatively late, is
well advanced fully four ffths of the proposed
area having been planted. The usual proper
ton seeded on the lst of May is probably per
cent greater. Last year but two-thirds of the
area was in termination at this date. Rains in
Texas have delayed work in planting. Every
whore it was begun late but the progress has al
most generally been rapid.
The spring blowing in preparation for planting
is everywhere late. Last year at this date it was
estimated to be two thirds DONE This year it is
scarcely sixtenths Less than half of this work
is done in the Eastern States. In New York,
Ohio and Michigan much larger proportion is
finished. The injury to the winter wheat crop was
greater than appearances indicated on the LIST
of April The roots were killed in the central belt
even worse than was supposed. In New York
the snow protection was ample, except in spots,
and in Michigan no material injury occurred:
but in the Ohio valley and in Missouri reports
of condition are much reduced. In the South a
slight Improvement In the prospect has occurred.
The average of condition in the principal wheat
growing States is as follows: New York, 95
Michigan, leo; Ohio, 80; Kentucky, as. In.
diana, TO- Illinois, AZ; Missouri co. Kansas, 62.
The general average is TO- instead of " in April
"a reduction Of about per cent reducing the
indicated production of winter wheat to about
240, 600, 900 bushels.
Tine condition of rye is also lower than re-
ported in April, yet much better than wheat
the average being 86.
The average condition Of winter barley is SO.
The moving lands promise nearly average
crop of hay the average condition being 49,
Pastures look nearly as well. condition 90

Hanging of Moses Cation at Morganfeld,
for the Murder of His Wife.
History Of the Crime. Showing Cation
and His Sons To Be Set Of
MatchlesS Sc0undrels.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
Mr.. VERNON, Ind, May S.-To-day has been
gala-day at Morganfeld, the occasion being the
execution of Moses Cation for the murder of his
wife, Hester, in Walnut Bottom, February FL
Citizens from the surrounding country began ar
irving last night. in buggies and wagons, on horse
back and on foot. They camped on the outskirts
of the town and around the court house At 10
o'clock this morning there were fully 5000 people
around the scaffold. 1t was decided to have
the execution private but the citizens hearing of
it sent word to the sheriff that they would tear
down every board he put up. Accordingly, the
hanging was in public. The scaffold was erected
in the rear of the jail. The crowd was kept
twenty feet away by means of fence.
Cation slept about seven hours last
night, and spent the remainder of
the night in prayer The mans
character lisa marvel to your correspondent This
morning he said that he was prepared to meet
his God; he was at peace with everybody, and
bore malice toward no one. He was innocent of
this crime but had been wicked man. The
sheriff bought new suit of clothes for him this
morning, but Cation refused to put them on.
saying he wanted the devil to know him, thus
destroying the iailor's belief in his repentance.
The death watch has been over him since Satur-
day, owing to an attempt by him to commit
suicide. He appeared composed this morn
ing and ate hearty breakfast, but
would eat no dinner About 1916 the sheriff
read the death warrant, after which the con-
demned man was taken to the cells Of his two
sons, where religious services were held He
prayed with them and advised them to reform.
He was then taken to the scaffold. While the
rope was being adjusted not muscle of his face
moved, though once, when the sound of his sons
weeping reached his ears, his hand clerched, and
he shivered perceptibly. He made no speech,
merely saying: II am ready" At Los the drop
fell, and Cation was launched into eter-
nifty. Ten minutes later he was pronounced
dead, and cut down. Death was caused by
strangulation. He struggled but very little, only
one or two contortions occurring The remains
were taken charge of by relatives, and taken to
Webster county. The spectators were very or
derby, and seemed to look upon the spectacle as
an everyday occurrence.
Cation was born May S, 1888, and celebrated
his forty seventh birthday on the gallows. He
leaves two brothers and one sister, in Webster
county, who are well-to-do, respected citizens
Cation was the first man hung in Union county
in twenty three years. the last hanging there
being negro, during the war;
