The worst nali-storm on Record.

Farmers were in the midst of harvest and this last mis- fortune will almost ruin such crops as are not threshed.

Lucky Arkansas Farmers.

There may be some sections of Ar kansas where the farmers arc kicking, but if they read the reports from many of the Northern States they will thank their lucky stars that they reside in Arkansas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and portions of Iowa and Kansas farm CTS have not averaged one-third of a crop. They are in "a hole" and it will require several good years to pull them out

Startling Confessions by Boy Incen-
diaries.

Our community was startled Thurs
day by the arrest of a lad named joan
mes Schlueter, aged Is years, son of
Nicholas Schlueter, of the Fifth ward
charged with being an accessory to the
Lewis & Parks factory fire, April 10
last. Edward Weigel, the boy sent to
the Waukesha Reform school for steal
ing, some weeks ago, admitted to Mr.
Parks, who visited the Reform school
Wednesday, that he and the Schlueter
boy set fire to the Lewis & Parks fac
tory, causing the destruction OF, the
same, as well as the j. Chapman wool
en- MILL involving loss Of some $780,
600 worth of property-one of the most
disastrous fires that ever occurred in
our city. On his return from Wauke-
sha Mr.. Parks caused the arrest of
the Schlueter boy, and he appeared
before Justice Stacy Thursday after
noon for examination, resulting In his
being bound over to the Circuit court
for trial to answer to the charge of
arson, and was accordingly locked up
in jail. The Weigel boy confesses to
having set fire to George w. Evans
livery stable and the barns of j. T.
Herzog and DR.. Lange, the loss by these
fires amounting to about SIS, 900, making
a grand total of $25 900 worth of proper
ty destroyed to be charged up to these
youthful offenders according to their
own admissions, for young Schlueter
did not deny his connection with Wei
gel in the Lewis & Parks fire, but says
he had nothing to do with the other
fires, statement corroborated by Wei
gel. Schlueter says he wanted to see
one good fire, and the confagration on
the night of April 10 satisfied his crav-
ings in this direction. After that he
was afraid, he claims, to have anything
to do with any more fires.
