THE CROPS ARE BOOMING
The Week Has Been Favorable in
the West.

The weather crop bulletin for the
week ending Saturday, April %, says:
In all states west of the Mississippi,
from the west gulf northward to Min
nesota and Dakota, the weather during
the week was favorable for all crops
and fruit, which are reported in splen-
did condition, and corn painting is pro-
crossing rapidly. The. deficiency in
rainfall from Kentucky northward to
Michigan has retarded the growth OF
crops, which are greatly in need Of
rain. The crop condition in Tennessee
is good, although more rain would inn
prove the condition. Cool nights and
a deficiency in rainfall were unfavora-
Bile in the central portion Of the cotton
region, including Arkansas, MISSISSIPPI
pi and Louisiana, although no serious
injury has resulted as yet, and cotton
and cane are reported in good condi-
ton. In the south Atlantic states the
weather was favorable, the crop pros
pects were never better and the fruit
is considered free from frost. In New
England and the middle Atlantic states
the weather was generally favorable
for all crops, although heavy rains and
high winds interrupted planting and
caused some damage TO fruit in New
Jersey.

WOULD RATHER DIE.
Mrs. WHEELING Not Grateful for the
Governors Respite.


The action Of Governor Beaver, Of
Pennsylvania, in granting respite
until June 25 TO Mrs. White 'ng was
due to the intercession OF n number OF
sympathetic ladies, who urged that IL
would be an act Of barbarity to hang
the woman without an opportunity
being afforded for testing her mental
condition. The recipient OF his elem
ency, however, is anything but happy
over the result. On the contrary, she
has been almost continuously in tears
since she was notified that she had
eight weeks instead OF four hours 10
live. She had made up her mind that
on Wednesday night she would be with
her husband and children In heaven,
and says that she is more than sorry
the Governor interferred. "Do not do
anything more for me- she said to
her counsel. ~ want to be hanged,
and even such death / shall consider
as but slight punishment for the crime
against my family" Notwithstanding
this request, however, II move will at
once be made for the appointment OF IA
board OF insanity experts, five men and
one woman, to be chosen outside Of
Philadelphia, this body to finally de-
termine whether the woman Is sane or
insane. DIR. Alice Bennett Of the
State Insane Asylum Mt Morristown.

the case, claims that the crime was

under these circumstances the State
itself would be committing murder lift

OVER THE BORDER.
Scenes and Incidents ofthe Opening
of Oklahoma.

The gates Of Oklahoma were swung
open at noon April 22nd, and resist
less torrents OF humanity began to pour
over its soil. From the Cherokee strip
came the great fleet OF prairie schoou-
ers; across the Canadian from tho
Chickasaw Nation came troop after
troop Of sturdy ponies, each one car
rying boomer; from Arapahoe and
Cheyenne reservations on the west
came yelling mob OF horsemen, who
fired volley after volley to celebrate
their final victory, The Kiowa of the
southwest and the Cherokee and Creek
nations on the east, also furnished con-
tingents Of boomers. AT the starting
signal they moved all together, great
waves OF cheering breaking upon the
air. The wagons continued on over
the level green plain until they were
about half way across the northern
tier OF claims, and then upward OF n
hundred Of them were brought to'a
standstill. The others rolled on to the
lower tiers. Men, women and children
poured from the stationary schooners,
and in an incredibly short time the
foundations for the pioneer homes Of
Oklahoma had been laid with willing
hands. Every farm had more than one
claimant, all ready to swear that they
crossed the border first and that theirs
were the first improvements, So II Is
all over the territory, and especially
on the sections adjoining Guthrie and
Oklahoma City. Between 10000 and
$4,000 people were dumped ut Guthrie
by the Santa Fe road which ran twenty
immense trains from Arkansas City.
The trains moved across the Cherokee
strip slowly and arrived here scarcely
more than five minutes late. As they
approached the land OF promise thous-
ands OF heads protruded from the
windows and curious eyes fastened on.

seemed to be dazed by the vastness of
their surroundings. Many of them
gazed stupidity to the north, south,
east and west, and then moved ahead
like men who were lost. Others start
ed for the hills, and still others bent
themselves to the task Of raising tents,
which they brought along to open
various kinds of business. Those who
went for the hills were after claims.
just how we'll thoir explorations sue
ceeded is not known, for very few OF
them have returned. II is safe TO say
every farm is now in possession Of one
or more claimants, and besides there
are from 10000 to 80, 900 more wander
ing aimlessly about in search Of land.
The rush at the Land Office Is terrific.
The building is surrounded by mob
which is being constantly augmented
by horsemen, who arc constantly gal

THE SAMOAN CONFERENCE
The Delegates Warmly Welcomed
by Bismarck.

Messrs. Kasson, Phelps and Bates,
the American delegates to the Samoan
conference, called upon Prince Bis
marck on the afternoon of April 9th.
The delegates TO the Berlin conference
are delighted with the reception ac-
corded to them by Bismarck. The
Chancellor was especially cordial to
Bates, who explained that the article
on Samoa in the Century Magazine
was written long before he was nomi-
mated as delegate to the conference
and that after his nomination he tried
to withdraw the article, but in vain,
us thousands OF copies had been print
ed. Bismarck showed perfect familiar
ity with the Samoan question. He ex-
pressed the hope that the conference
would be brief. He frequently referred
to the diplomatic and parliamentary
experience Of Kasson and Phelps.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Moberly, Mo-, Councilman's Life
In Danger.

Information has been received from
Moberly, Mo-, to the effect that an at
tempt was made to assassinate City
Councilman Howard Jennings. AS he
entered his gate about $3.50 few nights
ago, after being up town, an assassin
concealed in the evergreens not five
feet away, fired on him. The bullet
missed its mark, but the powder burn
ed Jennings face and the flash dazed
and blinded him. He ran for the
house and another bullet whistled past
his ears, crashing through the bow
window. 1t is thought the attempted
assassination is due to political ami
mostly.

COLLISION OF STEAMERS.
An American Vessel Wrecked In the
WiIIpmettc River.

A collision occurred in the Willamette
river, few miles belaw Portland. Or
egon, between the British steamship
Danube and the American steamship
Alliance. The latter steamer began
to sink rapidly, but was quickly beach
ed. All the passengers from the Alli-
ance were safely transferred to the
steamer Durline, which Fortunately hap
pened TO be near. The Alliance was
valued at $40, 900; insured for $40, 900.
Most OF her cargo will prove total
loss. The damage to the Danube was
light. Both vessels were backing hard
when the collision occurred, or the
consequences would have been most
disastrous.

Milton sat missing IN the porch,

Milton sat musing IN the porch,
The bright blHe sky above him,
But cannot see the light of heaven,
Or smiles of those who love him;
But though the utter darkness hides
The earthly from his vision,
He sees the bowers of Paradise,
And splendors of the Elysian;
He learns from angels at his side
Creations awful story,
And looks upon them face to face,
UndazLled by their glory.
Beethoven, music's great high priest,
Whose heaven born fancies capture
Tho tangled skeins of harmony
And weaves them into rapture,
Hears not the verse of human kind
Nor sound of life and motion;
Nor tempests on the echOing hills
Nor moan OF restless Ocean-
And vet in silence of his mind
Can hear the throb and thunder
OF iubilant by mus and solemn chants,
And lays of love aud wonder!
THUS, though relentless fate may close
The gateways of our senses,
Immortal spirit Ovelle"ps
Their balries and detenses.
Aud with celestial recompense
For harm and loss durnal,
Yields greater joys than flesh affords,
In foretastes of the eternal!
To blind old Millions rayless orbs

And deaf Beethoven hears the hymns
And harmonies of heaven.
