Berlin Uecked in Gala Attire to Do Hon.
 nor to the King of Italy and His Son
 Clipped Ambition of Would-Be Orators.
 LONDON, May 21.-Tne decoration of Berlin in honor of the visit of King Hum- bert of Italy and his son, the Prince of Naples Is of the most elaborate descrip- tion. The railway station at which he will alight from the special train in which he is travelling is profusely draped with Italian and German flags, banners, streamers etc, and upon the square ad- joining the station Q magnificent arch has been erected, under which the Italian del- egates will greet the royal visitors. Di- rectly in front of the arch stands a colos- sal figure of Berlina; in the Potslamer Platz a superb temple has been erected, and in Opera Square, between the impe- rial house and the palace, has been placed an allegorical group, representing Germany and Italy in the closest bonds of friendship. The directors of the Italian Benevolent Society of Berlin de- sired to figure prominently in the recep- ton of the King, as did also the heads of several other Italian associations, but in pursuance of a suggestion from Rome, the police will only permit delegates rep resenting these societies to present writ ten addresses. This decision is sad blow to the vanity of several would-be orators, who had prepared and rehearsed speeches of welcome. As all of the prin- cipal streets will be closed after nine o'clock in the morning. traffic will neceS- sarily be suspended during the day.

TROUBLE IN IDAHO.

Tho Friction o2 the Neg Perces Reserva-
 ton Results in the Arrest. by the Civil
 Authorities, of Special Agent Heth and
 Two Employees.
 WASHINGTON, May 21.-A telegram was received at the Interior Department yes- terday from Lewistown, Idaho, saying that Special Agent Heth and two em- ployes of the Neg Perces Reservation had been arrested by the civil authori- ties. MT. Heth has been having trouble with some of the agency employees, and it is thought at the department that his arrest has been secured by an employe named Williams. There has been trouble on the Neg Perces Reservation between the agent and the employees for several years. It grew so serious that Special Agent Heth was sent to relieve Agent Norris about two months ago. This has not quieted matters, as the present difficulties show. Yesterday Special Agent Welton, who is now at Umatilla, was directed to take charge of the Nez Perces agency, and thorough investigation was ordered by the Indian Office with view to removing from the reservation every white person who has had any guilty part in the disturbances tbara

Iater-NeeIy Killed.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 19.-A telegram from Forrest City states that A. NJ. Nicely was shot down and riddled with bullets at eight o'clock this morning. The particu- lars of the killing are as follows:
 Nicely, his father and brother took refuge in the Advocate building when the killing of ID. M Wilson, Thomas Parham and Frank Folbre occurred yesterday evening. Every effort was made to get at Neely, but they proved unsuccessful as the negroes were well barricaded. Be- tween one and two o'clock this morn- ing several sbots were fired into the building, without avail, in the hope of soaring the negroes to a surrender At eight o'clock this morning Acting Sheriff Van B. Izard persuaded old man Neely and his other son to come out, promising them safe conduct to the jail and fair trial. A. M. Nicely did not appear. The sheriff'5 posse was not more than hundred yards distant with the two prisoners, when number of other members of the posse raided the Advocate building. A. M. Neelv was discovered secreted under the floor and was riddled with bullets, at least ten shots being fired into him. It was thought that others of the Nicely party were secreted under the floor, and the posse made an extended search, but found no more-
 This last killing created increased ex- element, and the people were afraid ot raid on the town by the negroes. Gov ernor Eagle took the first train for Forrest City, and will remain until quiet is re- stored. He is in constant communication with Adjutant- General John c. En- gland. It is thought now that there will be no further trouble. The feeling was so high against Nicely that his death was looked for every moment after the beginning of the riat

State Penltentiary Statistics.

During the first four months in 1SS8 there were 142 prisoners received into the penitentiary, of which number 10I were State prisoners and 3 were United States convicts. Of the State convicts As were white, 57 colored and ? Indians, and of 1 the United States convicts, 24 were white, 10 black and 1 Indian. During the first four months 100 were discharged, of which 19 were United States and S1 were State prisoners; leaving a total i'll the peniten- tiary on the first day of May 1888, 6D prisoners, of which 274 were white, 39i black and 12 Indians. There were If women in the number.
 During the first four months of 1889 there were 200 received of which number 124 were State and 76 were United States prisoners. Of the State prisoners fl were white and 80 black, and of the United States prisoners 90 were white, Is black and 13 Indian. During the first four months 12i were discharged, of which number 95 were State and 29 were nited States convicts, leaving total i'll prison May 1, 1889, of 715 of which 609 are State and 169 United States prisoners, and of the number 3l9 are white, 422 black and 34 Indian. There are l5 women i'll the number.
 During April, 1888, there were 45 State prisoners received and 9 United States prisoners, making a total of 54. There were discharged in that month 3i. Of the number of State prisoners received 20 were white and 23 black.
 During April, 1889, there were 4S State prisoners received and IS United States prisoners, making a total of 66. There were q scharged in that month B. Of the
 
 were white and B were black.
 It will be noticed that the number of convicts received in the penitentiary dur ing the first four months of 1889 is a little over fl 4 per cent. greater than the num- bel received during the corresponding period of 1888. Placing the increase in the population of Arkansas at ID per cent, which is, perhaps, an extremely liberal allowance, and 1t is seen that the increase in convicts is over four times as great.
 Crime is liable to fuctuation; at times in every State a wave of it seems to pass, and the increase is alarming. An inci- dent of this kind can not be claimed in explanation of the above figures. The fact of its seemingly phenomenal in- crease has not been noted, and the public is doubtless unaware of 1t. Yet figures show it to be true. It can, perhaps, be better explained by the assertion, quite probably we'll founded, that there is stronger sentiment in the minds of the public against crime, and that that senti- meut has made itself felt in the courts and in the juric5 of the land. It may, on the other hand be reasonably supposed that if four other months If the two years were taken comparatively diff ferent result might be shown.

- - A Reward for CrOnin.

CHICAGO, May 21.-The friends of Dr. Cronin, who so mysterlousiy disappeared two weeks ago, are so firmly convinced now that Cronin has been made the vic tim of conspiracy and foul play, and that he has been murdered, that they have offered a reward of s, 900 for information loading to the arrest and conviction of any of his murderers, principals or &C., cessories. To disabuse the public mind of the impression that the doctor is still alive, and that his disappearance was voluntary, his friends have offered a further reward of 5000 for any satis- factory evidence that will prove that he is not dead, and that would lead to the dis : coyery of his whereabouts.

PLANT 1T, GROW 1T, SAVE 1T.

Plant grass, grow grass, save grass,
is the motto of the successful farmer
Of to-day. Don't be afraid you will
get too much forage on hand. You
never saw a farmer in this country
who had more hay or fodder than he
could sell. You never saw horse,
cow or OK that complained that his
masters crop OF grass was too great,
but you have seen thousands OF hor-
SEES and cattle whose leanness was a
living protest against the manner in
which his master allowed good grass
to grow, ripen and die uncut.
1t is not too late to plant forage
corn or many varieties of millet.
Plant them, friends, and keep your
stock tat and happy all next winter
and start them out for the years
work in good condition. Every
farm has thousands OF grass on it.
Every little branch bottom has
either grass or wild clover on it and
all the moist places in your corn
field bring forth an abundant yield
of grass after the corn is laid by.
1t is not too late to plant peas for
forage, but the millet or corn will
pay you better. Don't let another
winter come without finding you
with an abundant supply of forage
to keep all your stock II months,
but try and have big lot of it to
sell. There is more money in grass
than there is in cotton. Plant it.
Grow it. Save it.-Alliance.
