Ex-Pre.ident Arthur,s Decline.

The New York Times says: Ex-President
Arthur has been steadily growing worse
during the past week, but has not re,apsed
SO far as to have lost all the ground gained
during his unexpected rally OF ten days
ago. Some OF the more enthusiastic OF his
friends believed hat the turn fort III better
had come, but the steady decline since has
dampened this enthusiasm, and there are
few, if any, who now believe that the ex-
president will ever again leave his house
alive. Sudden and unexpected rallies, fol-
lowed by gradual but steady declines, are
peculiarities OF Mr.. Arthur's disease. we'll
known to physicians, and watched by them
with grave fears. The danger is ever pres
emit that the poisoned blood of the patient
will sufeuse the brain, and when that hap
pens the victim OF Bright's disease feels the
last OF his sufierings. Mr.. Arthur bears his
confinement patiently and bravely.

its statute book, which has seemed
practically to postpone hanging. The
murderer is condemned to an indef-
mite imprisonment inthepenitentiary,
the governor being given the right to
hang him whenever he chooses. The
whole responsibility for hanging is
thus thrown o thelatter's shoulders.
Governor after Governor has refused
to accept this responsibility and
passed the murderers over to his c
cessor. There are forty-one of them
now in the pe~nitentiary awaiting pun
ishment and who can be hung any
day the Governor chooses,

Arrest of the Murderous Anarchist.

The following additional particulars OF
the capture in Chicago OF Louis Lingg, the
young German who is supposed to have
thrown the bomb ut the Haymarket are
learned: Officers Lowenstein and Schutler
went in civilians dress to Gustav Kline's
cottage, on Ambrose street, ono going to
the front door the other to the rear.
Schulter advanced toward the young man,
but before he had advanced half Il dozen
steps the latter drew a ponderous Colts
navy revolver from his breast, and cock
ing the Misunderstanding Weapon, leveled
thirteen inches OF barrel at the officer. IF
l have to die, you'll die, too he shrieked
in German, as he placed his finger on the
trigger and took deliberate aim at the
officer. Schutler, seeing his peril, rushed
upon his would-be murderer, and n
lie and death struggle ensued.
Lingg fought with the fury of a wild
charge the weapon, the barrel OF which was
held byt he officer. The men rolled over
and over, upsetting tables and chairs, and
~rattling the window panes in the room.
While the fight was iiercest there was a
crash at the front end OF the cottage, and
Officer Lowenstein, who had heard the
struggle within and burst open the door,
tumbled in out OF the rain, and hurried to
his comrades assistance. The appearance
OF the second officer made Lingg d~elirious
with rage. He shrieked and cursed in his
native tongue, and refused to relax his
grip on the revolver until Lowenstein
seized him by The throat and chokeu MIN
Until his face grew purple md red. The
weapon, with it's cylinder filled with huge
bullets. was then taken away from him.
He vas thon handcufted and taken to the
central station. On the way he said:

Condition of tho Crops.

May 1.-THE following crop summary

Farmers Review, OF Chicago.
The heavy rains OF tho past week have
lessoned somewhat the former excellent
outlook for spring wheat in Nebraska
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota. Tho
great rainfall has also occasioned some in.
jury to the winter wheat in Winconsin,
Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, where, in
some OF the fields, it was beginning to head
out. The reportsdo not indicate, however,
any serious damage us yet. In other respects
the outlook for all the grains in all the
states and territories continues excellent.
The reports OF a poor showing for winter
wheat. or reports Of injury from insects,
with the exception OF the permanent dam.
age heretofore noted in various counties in
Kansas. are rare and isolated. The pres.
ence OF the chinch bug is noted in Morrison.
vile county in Central Illinois and several
Indiana counties. InIndiana winter wheat
has attained q growth OF from ten to
fifteen inches, and tho outlook continues
excellent. The generality OF the reports oil
Missouri indicate a crop Of 20 per cent.
above tho average. In Kansas some O,
the counties note improvement in the
winter wheat outlook within theIast thirty
days. Butler is to be added to the list Of
counties where the crop is an failure.

Ohio are generally OF a promising charac.

growing counties in tho Red River valley re-
ports that the outlook could not be i'm.

ports ron Minnesota are uniformly good.
The Nebraska counties still complain O
too much rain, and that wheat on all low

Boycottinr pnn,sbs1 in wisconsin

Milwaukecspecial: Judge Mallory in the
municipal court fined a hired boycottcr
SO and costs. 1t was shown that the
defendant, Seidel by name. and Others
distributed boycotting handbills in front
OF Adolph Ficnhold's bakery. The bills
requested everybody to withdraw patron
age from Mr.. Fienhold. as he was running
n ~"non-union' shop. The proprietor had
several times ordered the man from his
door, but without effect. Judge Mallory,
IN passing sentence. said: The b%oycotting
OF Mr.. Fienhold was an outrage, though
the defendant md others had been urged
on by demagogues. Such interferenccs with
u mans business were unlawful. Thejudge
was surprised that citizens had stood this
sort OF persecution as long rs they had.
Boycotting was nothing less than mob
law. The fine imposed was the extreme
penalty under the disorderly conduct
ordinance.

the marriage was performed by the Rev.

led the storm. In that vicinity it swept
clean a track hall IL mile in width and 8 miles
in length, not striking the town to any ex-
tent. William McIIlree, wife and two chill

%uprooted by the acre, and hundreds of or.
chards are completely gone.
The storm went in a n~ortheasterly di-
rection in Wyandotte county, doing great
damage also. The village OF LEVEL is re-
ported destroyed. Greatdamage is report
ed in Seneca county. One man says the
