ELDoRADo, Kan, Sept. 2l.-Last
Tuesday farmer named Dudley, who
lives three miles from Rosalia, this
county, engaged a Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
wards to assist him in gathering his
crops. While walking to the farm that
afternoon they were joined by Mr..
aud Mrs. Bloomer, who were
on the way home from Rosa
liza, accompanied by their three-year-
old child. Arriving at the Dudley farm
Mrs. Bloomer placed Ter child in Mrs.
Edwards charge while she accompanied
her husband to the field to see Mr..
Dudley. When they returned to the
house the child was missing. The
neighbors were summoned to institute
search. but the child could not be found.
Mrs. Edwards strange actions aroused
suspicion and she was finally charged
with having murdered the child. She
denied the charge Indignantly and the
search was continued. The child could
not be found. Mr.. and Mrs. Blo0mer
were satisfied in their minds that Mrs.
Edwards had made away with it, and
to test their suspicion they pro-
posed to extract confession from
her. Accordingly she was told that she
was to be hanged and had better confess
the crime. She obstinately maintained
that she knew nothing OF the cause OF
the ehild's disappearance. A rope was
found, one end placed about her neck
and the other thrown over the limb OF
tree. Just as the body of the alleged
murderess was about to leave the ground

ehiId's dlsobedience of her commands
she had killed it and given the body to
her husband to dispose OF 1t. he car
ried it to the creek near by and threw
it in the water. Her husband denied
any completely in the crime and the
same means were resorted to to
force confession from him that
had been employed so successfully
upon his wife, He was strung up for
minute or two and then cut down. He
t5ien confessed that he had seen his
wife herself carry the dead body OF the
clIiid to the creek and dispose of 1t there.
He, himself, he said, had nothing to do
with the crime, except to witness the
disposal of the body. a committee OF
the neighbors was then formed
to make systematic search of
the premises and creek Mr.. Bloomer,
the father of the missing child, was
made chairman the committee, and he
is directing all the details of the affair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwards have been given
into the charge of the committee. If
Mrs. Edwards story is verified, both
she and her husband will doubtless be
lynched by the committee, as great ex-
citement prevails over the affair. So
long as there is any doubt as to the
guilt of both, or either of the accused,
Mr.. Bloomer refuses to take any action.

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
Frost Has Done Little Damage Ex-
cent to Fruit.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending Sat
urday, Sept. 21, issued from the signal
Office, war department, says:
The reports from tine Northwest and
the states of the Ohio valley Indicate
that an excellent corn crop has been Sc
cured and that only slight damage has
resulted to the crops in that section
from recent frosts. In the winter wheat
states the ground is generally in good
condition and seeding is progressing rap
idly. Young wheat is well advanced in
Kansas where the Weatherwas favorable
except the extreme northwestern por-
ton of the state. In Kentucky and
Tennessee the tobacco crop was i'm
proved, but slight damage resulted
from light frost on Wednesday and
Thursday, of which timely warning
was given by this service. About one,
half the tobacco crop is cut in Ken
lucky. In Pennsylvania portion OF
the tobacco crop remains uncut. the
weather being too wet for curing.
The weather during the week in the
cotton regions was generally favorable
except in Tennessee, except where rain
caused some damage, and in Alabama.
where drought and rust proved INJURIOUS
ing rapidly. The weather was generally
favorable for picking, but in Texas the
cool weather retarded the opening OF the
bollS. In Arkansas. leaf and boil worms
injured many fields, and in Mississippi
the second appearance of worms has
proved very destructive in several To-
calities. Id the east portion of the cot
ton region the weather was favorable,
and planters are encouraged. Rice is
being harvested in Louisiana, but rain
would improve the cane crop,
the present crop conditions in this
state being reported as very good.
In New Jersey the weather was de-
cidedly unfavorable. and all growing
crops were injured by the daily rains in
this state. In New York the weather
was favorable for the corn harvest, and
winter wheat is reported as good and
pastures fair. In New England wet
and cloudy weather proved injurious to
corn in shock and caused the. sprOuting
of oats and buckwheat. the fruit crop
was also injured, and apples are drop

OSHKOSH, Wis, Sept. 21.-After a
trial lasting nearly all the week the eel
ebrated church case of Rev. R. II.
Fischer against S. Churi. John Ryf and
J. NJ. Beglinger was concluded in the
county court this afternoon by the jury
bringing in a verdict for the defendant.
In 1882 Fischer was pastor of
the German Lutheran church
here, having signed a contract for
ten years. Complaints were made by
members that he used language unbe-
coming clergyman, and PLAYED cards
in saloons and preached politics. The
defendants in this action were trustees
of the church in 1885, and in order to
get Fischer out were compelled to nail
up the building. This had the desired
effect, but it also broke up the society,
and no meetings have since been held.
Fischer commenced suit for $15,-
OOO damrges against these trus-
tees, alleging violation Of contract
and conspiracy to injure his character.
The case, which has been in the courts
for years, has created widespread in
terest because of the prominence OF the
parties engaged. The gentlemen sued
are among the best known German resi-
dents of the city. Fischer has acquired
