Congressman Sunset Cox died at his home

was quiet, and the dying man breathed his
last as peacefully as if falling into sleep.
Mrs Cox, who had been scarcely away from
her husbands bed side for the past two days
and nights held his left hand, while his old
friend Douglass Taylor held the other. He
had been conscious all day until about
quarter of an hour before the end. DR.. Lock

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram.
Judge Lewis A. Croft of Omaha was ap-
pointed commissioner of the general ana of
fee vice Strother NJ StocksIager, re-
eIgued. The appointment settles quite a
long-disputed contest. Ex-senator Chilcott
of Colorado, John r. Thomas of limos aud
Gov. Stone of Iowa were all candidates
Gov. Stone was made assistant commits
s!oner, and he hoped to be promoted. The
other gentlemen hoped TO be appointed when
the president got around to it. Judge Groff's
appointment dashes all Their hopes. The ap-
polntment is good one. Judge Croft is
Western man and thoroughly conversant
with the needs of the people of that section.
He is a good lawyer. and has been a popular
Judge. He now presides over the Third dis
Urict of Nebraska, and has been very popular
with all people who know him. He was
backed by the Nebraska senators for he va
cancv on the interstate commerce commits
sion, but when that appointment went else
where he was urged for com missioner aud
the place was promised. The appointment
was toregone conclusion. dispatch from
Omaha says that Judge Croft will accept the
position.
Judge Croft was born in Wooster, Ohio Dec.
81, 1S41. In 1867 he was admitted to the bar,
and Immediately aftcrward commenced practice
at Toledo. He at Onco became prominent fig
ure in politics and continued as such until 1870,
when he removed to Lincoln, Neb In 1877 he
went to Omaha where he has since resided. AL
though strong Republican, he was elected dis
trict judge in 1887 on the non partisan ticket
and has since attended to nearly all the criminal
business in the district.

As to Tanner.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Sept 10.
There are many wild rumors flying about
tonight in reference to the commissioner of
pensions, though 1t is impossible to trace
them TO any reliable source One says that
Corporal Tanners resignation is now in the
hands Of the president and will be shortly
accepted. Coupled with these statements is
the refutation of the rumor that Tanner is to
be given the post of register of the treasury
now occupied by Gen. Rosecrans The gen.
eral, it is said, must go because the president
has Just discovered that he Is drawing very
good pay as a retired officer of the regular
army, and he will not be charged with
unkindness to old Soldiers by CIV
ing his place to another man.
Another rumor about Corporal Tanner is
that Senator Hiscock of New York, Secre-
tary Noble and Gov. Foster called upon the
president to-day and that Senator Hiscook,
on behalf of the New York Republicans.
consented TO Tanners dismissal, the
only matter undecided being when
he should go. 1t is said that Gov Foster
represented the Ohio Republicans and gave
his views of the effect 1t would have on Re-
publican campaign In that state. Coupled
with Mr. Fosters visit is the statement that
Foster was also urging the claims of Gen.
Warner, his late associate on the Sioux COM
mission, for Tanners place

NAGLE NOT GUILTY.
He is Discharged from Custody under
Habeas Corpus Proceedings.

SAN Francisco, Special.-Judge Sawyer,
in the United States circuit court, has
rendered q decision in the ha5eas corpus
case of Deputy Marshal David Maggie, and
discharged Nagle from custody A bill of
exceptions fled by counsel for the state was
allowed by tie court, and pending an appeal
to the United States supreme court Nagle
was ordered released on his own recogniz-
ance, with bonds fixed at $4,000. Judge
Sawyer, in his decision, states:
Alter mature consideration we have reached
the conclusion that the homicide in question
was committed by the petitioner while acting
in the discharge of the duty imposed upon him
by the constitution and laws Of the United
States
Judge Sawyer says he has seen some ad-
verse criticism that Maggie fired too quickly,
and on this subject the decision closed as
follows
Nagle OF the scene of action, facing the party
making the murderous assault, knowing by per-
Bonal experience his physical powers and his
desperate character, and by general reputation
his lifelong habit OF carrying arms, his readi-
ness to use them, and his angry, murderous
/ threats, and seeing his demoniaC looks, his
steRlthy assault from behind, and remem berng
the sacred trust committed to his charge Maggie,
IN those trying circumstances, was the party to
determine when the supreme moment for act ion
had come, and if he honestly acted with reason
able JUDGMENT and discretion the law justities
him, even if he erred But who will have he
courage to stand up III the presence of the facts
develop ed by the testimony in the case, and say
he fired the smallest fraction of a second too
soon. In his own Judgment he acted under the
trying conditions surrounding him in good
faith and with cUnsummate courage, judgment
and discretion. The homicide was, in our opin-
ion, clearly Unsuitable In law and in the forum
of sound practical common sense was commend

The Minnesota State Fair.

The attendance OF the Minnesota State
Fair on the last day was materially lessened
by the threatening aspect OF the morning
clouds and the afternoons sport dampened
by rain and chilled by a coola and very strong
wind Ii the chief weather officer could have
held his charge off one day longer, it is
probably that a very large crowd would have
been attracted by the racing programme, the
cowboys and other special features and the
thirty first would have gone out in blaze Of
glory, instead of being snuffed out ignomini-
ously in somber, wet and chilly sadness Even
at that the fair may be called success, al
most unquaIifedly.
To the officers and managers the chief con-
siderution is the financial one. In this re-
gard President Bushnell said: I'VE have not
OF course been able to figure up exactly our
financial standing. We know however that
we have taken in enough to pay all our ex-
penses, clear up deficit which existed when
the present management took hold, and leave

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-The September
crop report of the department Of agriculture
makes the general average of corn 81, re-
duction OF nearly points; of winter wheat,
when harvested, 80. 4, from 90 on July l CT
spring wheat So 9, an increase from S1.2 in
Aus ust This makes tho general average of

of buckwheat, 90 l. instead of 95.2 OF to-
bncco, 1872, reduction from 81. 4 The
percentage of stock hogs available for fat
'ening Is 1O1, condition SO. The corn crop
is a week late IN q large proportion of its
breadth. On the Atlantic coast rains were
excessive, and foods injured fields
in bottom lands. Eariy in the season tenn
perature was low, interfering with germina-
ton and cultivation. The uplands enjoyed
conditions favorable to rapid growth In
the Ohio valley and lake r. gion there has
been u marked reduction of condition dur
ing the last month from drought following
the heavy rains Of early summer. In Ohio
and Indiana there was previous injury of
bouom-land crops by floods. In Michigan
and Wisconsin the effects of drought and
other influences are most injurious There
is complaint of drought west of the Missis-
sippi, too late In the season for serious re-
ductlon. West of the Missouri conditions
have been more favorable than in any other
part Of the country, and the crop ia very
large.
In the seven surplus states the figures for
condition are:
Ohio 81. loss of 6 points: Indiana 81. loss Of
6 points: Illinois 81, loss Of points; lows 81.
loss of 6 points: Missouri %. loss Of 8 points:
Kansas. 90: Nebraska, 90.
The reduction in winter wheat, as CON-
pared with the July report is in New York,
Pennsylvania, Michigan, California and in
some of the Southern states. The quality Of
Western grain, as shown by its grading, is
comparatively poor, and will affect weight
and intrinsic value. The condition of spring
wheat is reported higher than in August in
the northern portion of the belt, and slightly
lower in Iowa and Nebraska, as follows:
Wisconsin :. 90 Iowa .....93 Dakota 90
Minnesota. :. 90 NebrsskA".S SO
The local rates of yield in Dakota are ex-
tremely variable, ranging from to 20 bush
els per acre.
