Such Is the Finding Of the Commit
sion Before Which he Appeared.
FARGO, N. d., Special Telegram,
The insanity commission, after a two
weeks session, has announced the follow
ing as Mr.. Fulton's condition: First, great
bodily weakness nervous prostration, and
absence of vital force; second, q change in
his physical and mental habits and charac-
ter, showing deterioration, has occurred
during the last year; third, that his acts in
his official capacity as postmaster at Cassel-
ton present SO many instance OF lncon-
sistcncies as to lead us to grave doubts as to
his soundness of mind; fourth, we deem it
for the best interest Of the pa
tient and the state, and we do
hereby find that said patient should have
immediate medical treatment for his pres
ent deranged system and condition. Fifth,
not finding any evidence of violence on his
part, we find that said patient might be
treated, as aforesaid outside of the hospital
for the insane for a special time, and it such
treatment should not result in cure or
Improvement of his said condition, then it
is our best Judgment that he should there
upon be sent to the hospital for the insane
for treatment therein. DR.: Darrow, mem
Der of the board, reports he believes him
insane and should be confined to the
asylum. Fulton was arraigned on the ad-
ditional charges and bound over to the
United States court He made no effort to
obtain bail. His case will probably come
up at Bismarck next week.

Recent Frosts Cut Down the Per-

Wheat.

Recent Frosts Cut Down the Per-
centage in the Condition Of Winter
Wheat.
WASHINGTON, Special.-The condition
of winter wheat on the first of April,
as reported by the statistician of the
department of agriculture, averages 81
for the entire breadth. The general average
for rye is 92.8. In the states of the central
valleys, recent Irosts have cut down the
growing wheat plants quite generally, and
i'll wet or submerged areas the roots have
been destroyed. There are reports of re-
cuperatlon by sprouting and renewed
growth in this region. Where the roots are
intact, great improvement will follow, with
good weather. The fact that the roots are so
well developed is favorable to improvement.
The averages OF condition Of principal
states are as follows: New York, SIS; Penn
sylvania, 80; Ohio, 81; Michigan, 81; In
diana, 70; Illinois, rs; Missouri. So; Kansas,
81; California, II. The report Of the cen
dltion OF farm animals makes the averages
as follows: Horses, 97.4; cattle 04.1; sheep,
93.7 swine, 95.6. The percentage OF losses
OF farm animals by disease winter exposure
or otherwise, as estimated, average 1.G4 for
horses, 364 tor cattle, 7.3 for sheep and 7.6
for swine. The reports indicate the loss by
exposure throughout the country of more
than 1,0O0,000 cattle and still larger losses
of sheep.

There lives in a smoky-swamp neigh

pretension.
The negroes who live in old Bluke's
neighborhood have great faith in him,
and even Sandy Gray, the pastor of Oak
Flat Church, stepped down from the
pulpit and heartily shook hands with
the celebrated physician.

election Of J. w. Keifer. He was all outspoken
advocate of q judiciously adjusted protective
cept when monopoly and not protection was the
object sought to be attained. The free trade
papers were unanimous in their antagonism to
his candidacy for speaker OF the Forty eighth
congress, and Carlisle Of Kentucky was chosen
to the position. In the early part of 1886 Mr..
Randall made tour of the South, and was re-
ceived with much enthusiasm. Mr.. Randall was
q man who would attract attention in any COM
pany, and was of extremely imposing appear
ance. He was q little above medium height but
a slight stoop reduced his. stature to the aver
age. He. was broad-shouldered and loose
limbed. Wearing no beard and always close
shaven, his Napoleonic face was almost as
smooth as q child's. His eyes were large,
black and piercing But his most prominent
feature was his mouth. which, while inclined to
snap and assumed the frme7t sort Of expression
under the impulse OF atagonism. The sunshine
OF boyish frafkness which usually dwet upon
his countenance was obscured in an instant by
a cloud as black as thunder. The massive

q frown fell upon the brow. and the whole head
was thrust forward in defiant fashion. 1t was

ne sauiftered down Pennsylvania ave-

few chosen friends talking over the affairs OF the
day. There he was all smiles, and nobody who
has seen him laugh heartily will ever think o
him with that other look. AS to dress he was
somewhat careless. He was always seen in a
complete suit Of black broadcloth the coat be-
ing the long tailed frock which is still considered
full dress in some parts OF the country.

SPAIN ASAREPUBLIC
Predictions That Freedoms
Standard Will Float Over
Another Monarchy.
Hon. Sam J. Randall Passes
Peacefully Away at His
Washington Home.

LONDON, Special.-There is little doubt
that the present Spanish cabinet will be
overthrown shortly-befOre the July recess
assuredly. The GOODNESS and deliberatiOn
with which the leaders of the Republican
party are acting. and the subordination of
the rank and file give hope of a revolution
as complete and bloodless as that in which
the Brazilian monarch was deposed. There
are no signs ofgeneral rioting by preconcert,
nor is there any promise of threatening
prOnunciamento, but there is a calm con-
spicuousness of strength underlying all the
republican movements that shows a pro-
found belief that the people are with them
en- masse. For the past year legislation and
the force of public opinion have strength
ened civic force in Spain, to the anger and
dsmay of the military officers of the
old school. These latter have remon-
strated with the crown, and several
of them have resigned in consequence of
the replies which they received. Two ex
marshals at least, have put their property
into portable shape and are prepared for
exile when the storm bursts. The conf
dence of the workingmen may be judged by
the fact that they have put the day for their
grand demonstration at Barcelona so far
ahead as May, as if to show that nothing
hurried or violent is intended. At
or about the same time the vote
up1~ the universal suffrage bill be
reached unless something unforeseen
induces its promoters or adherentS to force
the question upon the country before that
time. Sagasta will be ousted from the pre-
miership-so much appears TO be settled
and, although CanovaS Del Castillo is con-
fidently spoken of as his successor. Martinez
Campos will probably be selected to fill the

parts of Spain it is believed that the royal
infant died of his attack of influenza, and
that pretender is being foisted upon the
Spanish people.

LYONS, Iowa. Special Telegram,
Death to-day has ended a famous law

mental strength and flowing white hair. He
looked as he was remarkable man. His
death occurred suddenly in this city to-day

RIvalIng the Renders

Judge Betram of Atwood, KAN, has sens
fenced Gracian Chleborad to fifty years in
the peniteItiary for murder. Chleborad is
about thirty years old, and will probably
not live to serve bis time out. The crime OF
which he was convicted was poisoning his
younger brother Joseph last December
Strange to say, although there was proof
positive Of strychnne in the dead mans
stomach. and every circumstance pointed
to Gracian as the murderer, the
jury returned verdict of murder in the sec.
ond degree, acquitting Mrs. Cheborad, his
wife, who was indicted with him. The Judge,
however, made amends for the jury's action
by pronouncing a sentence that virtually
amounted to life imprisonment. II the evil
dence of Chleborad's neighbors is to be be-
believed, the poisoning OF Joseph Chleborad
was the last of q series of murders that, if
vestigated, will prove as horrible as the in
infamous Bender crimes. The Chleborads
lived on claim that was originally
iously disappeared. Evidence indicated
that he was murdered for his
money ;and his body thrown into on
abandoned well on the ''divide" not far
from the Shaw dug-out. After while the
Chleborads, consisting of O man and his wife
Oldest, took the claim. In the course OF
time Mrs. Chleborad died mysteriousIy,
and her place OF burial wns never known.
! The event ocGasioned comment, but the
people seemed to he afraid of the Chlebornds
and it was never investigated. 1t was gen.
orally believed, however, that she was mur-
dered and her body thrown into the well.
Later the old man died suddenly and the
neighbors again suspected poisoning. This
was followed by a fresh burial in the well.
This crime was charged to Grncian Chlsbo.
rad and his wife, May. A few months later
! one Of his brothers disappeared and Gracian
said that he had gone to Nebraska, but the
boy never came back, and it is supposed the
we'll received another victiiA. Last December
young Robert was poisoned, and the mur.
derer was detected by a party OF neighbors
on his shoulder, making straight for the old
well. He was arrested and the murder
proved. -

WRECKED ON A ROCK.

Steamship Suetta Strikes a Reef In
Antipodean Waters and Sinks at
Once.
SAN Francisco, Special. By steamship
Mariposa, from Australia, additional details
have been received Of the wrecked steamer
Suctta, off Thurdah island. About 8
o'clock on the evening of March the pas
scngers, who were holding an impromptu
musical, were startled by the sudden stop
ping of the engines and the grating of the
vessels keel on the sunken rock. In
less than three minutes the Suetta
had sunk out of sight leaving 291 people
struggling in the waves. Some were borne
under by the tangled rigging and others,
more fortunate, clung to the floating
wreckage. One hundred and thirteen lives
were lost. Of one hundred and twent y-six
whites only thirty escaped, while of the one
hundred and sixty-five negroes, eighty-two
survived, many of the whites being i'm
prisoned in the state rooms. Capt
Sanders states that he was
on the bridge when the vessel
struck. He rushed forward and ordered
the boats out. He found the ship already
settling. He had just time to climb the rig
ging and jump into the water when the yes
sci seemed to stand up on end for a mo-
ment and then sunk. After halEhour he
was picked up. The rock on which the
vessel struck is not on the chart and is
right in the track of the course recon-
mended by the admiralty which states that
there are twelve fathoms of water there.

tai wounding Of the burglar the loss of an

cred the burglar and six shots were ex-
changed at short range in the dark. Two

eye and lodging in the brain. The burglar
escaped, but was found i'll the ccllarway OF

This act gave the State of Mississippi 5 per
cent of the proceeds Of all present and
former Indian reservations as If sold at
81 % per acre The effect of the act is to
put Indian reservations in the same class as
public" lands, so far as this per cent do
nation is concerned. Under the terms OF
this act Minnesota will derive from the
Chippewa lands alone $175, 900 on the basis
OF 2, 500, 900 acres in that reservation. AS
now stands there are other lands which.
have formerly been Indian reservations
which will swell the amount to some
what larger figures. The acts directs the
commissioner of the general land office to
state an account between the several states
and the United States and certify it to the
secretary of the treasury Tor settlement. Hc
is to pay it directly from the unappro--
priated moneys, rather than from the actual
proceeds of the sale of the lands, for by the
terms of the acts under which the Indians
cede their lands to the government the en-
tire proceeds are to be held by the govern
ment in trust for the Indians and could not
be available for donations to the state.
