White Cap whipping In Indiana.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 3O.-A dispatch
from New Albany, Ind, says there was
another brutal whipping by white caps
in crawford county Sunday morning in
which a young woman of eighteen
years was one Of the victims. William
Mcclure and his eighteen year old step
daughter live near LeayenWorth, the
county seat of Crawford county. They
were reported to be living in adultery
but there was no proof of this charge.
About o'clock Sunday morning TWEEN
ty masked white caps, all armed with
revolvers went to McGuire's residence,
broke down the door and seizing Nc.
Guire, who is about fifty years old, and
his step-daughter dragged them to
the woods and tied them face foremost
to trees. Then the clothing of bot h
victims was lowered to the hips and the
white caps commenced the cruel work
of whipping them on their bare backs,
faying thsm from the shoulders to the
hips. The young woman shrieked for
mercy at every blow, but her appeals
were in vain until she sunk fainting
from pain. She received over fifty
lashes. Her shoulders, rae and hips
are frightfully larcerated. Old man
Mcclure was given about seventy-hve
lashes. He also fell fainting under the
savage punishment. After the whip
ping the white caps notified them If
they were found in the county twenty
days later they would be hung up by
their necks and left for the buZzards to
pick. This infamous whipping of a
helpless girl has created the most in
tense excitement in Leavenworth and
the neighborhood of that town and is
denounced with great bitterness.

Cotton Three Weeks Late.

The weekly weather and crop bulle-

vide, in cooperation with the United
States Signal Service for the week end

encouraging to farmers.
The rainfall for the past week has
been below the normal and badly dis
tributed. The temperature has been
above the average with very much of
sunshine, all Of which has been very
beneficial to all crops.
The cotton has improved very much

places which give it a ragged appear.
ance, and that portion OF the crop is
growing very rapidly and is now COW
cred with blooms. A considerable por-
tion of the crop has been and still is
very grassy, and farmers are making
every effort to clean it this hot and dry
weather, Tut labor is very scarce. The
yield of an ordinary crop will, to a great
extent, depend upon the success in get
ting rid Of the grass in the next few
days.
The corn crop is now fair average,
but II q drought should now set In,
which present appearances indicate, it
will be seriously injured.
There can be no doubt but that the
cotton crop is three weeks late, and it
will require good seasons from now on
to produce IN average crop.
The rice crop. whilst but one half of
it was planted early, all of it is now
growing finely, and good stands have
been obtained

Thirtx Skeletons ina Row.

CHICAGO, June 28.-Thirty skeletons
were found yesterday in an old ice house
at the corner OF Archer avenue and
Hough place.
For several days numerous COM
plants have been made to the health
office and to the Deering street police
by residents in the vicinity Of Archer
avenue and Hough place, who asserted
that q nuisance of most aggravated
form made life almost uncomfortable.
Investigation was made by both de.
partments, but without locating the
trouble.
Yesterday the mystery was solved.
Several boys found near the corner a
bleached white. The lads told the first
policeman they met Of their discovery,
and he notified the health office. DR..
Ware, with several assistants, visited
the scene and made q more thorough
search than had before been made. a
bad odor was detected from Schine-
mans ol ! ice house on the corner. The
searchers ripped up part of the floor,
and were Mortified to find rows of skel-
etons, to some Of which shreds of flesh
still clung.
Who placed them there is not known,
and the authorities will make every eff.
fort to find the guilty persons.
The theory advanced by the health Of
ficers Is that some attache Of q medical
college brought The subjects there to
bleach. The bones were allowed to re.
main until the matter can be more fully
Investigated.
ICMIoAao, June 28.-It is now learned
that Robert A. Hawes has been carrying
on the grewsome business of cleaning
human skeletons for the medical pro.
fession in the building. The board OF

He Discusses Current Problems in His
Characteristic Way.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-EX. Senator
Ingalls, made his debut as lecturer at
the National Chautauqua at Glen Echo,
near this city. His subject was '.The
problems of our second century," and
his effort was listened to by large au-
dience. The first problem which he dis
cussed was the danger of paternalism in
government, and he paid his respects in
his unique way TO that class of people
who want their debts paid by Act of Con-
gress and who would have money as
plentiful as autumn leaves in the forest.
He did not believe, he said, in having
the government doing everything and
the people nothing.
Refer lrlng to the problem of UNEQUAL
distribution Of wealth, he said that it
was not right that ten million people
should never have enough to eat in this
country from one years. end to another,
nor should il ever happen that man
went hungry when he was willing and
able to work. 1t was quite evident from
his talk, however, that he did not eX-
pect the present condition of affairs to
speedily change, for he said that all the
wealth in the United States were to be
equally divided now, in six months there
would be some people riding in palace
cars, some in buggies, some would be
walking, and some would be sitting in
fence corners watching the procession 90

reDressihle rpfOrmer oornino bic liyoIi

er than by tho sweat of his brow" If
some men were rich and others were
poor it was the fault Of the Creator. lie
would not disguise the fact tn the pre-
sent was momentous crisis in the his
tory of this country, and that all the
forces of decentralization were MARSHALL
ed for the contest. He had no doubt of
the outcome of the fight. There would
be in the future broader liberty, larger
opportunities for happiness and greater
prophesies for de velopment of the nation
than the mind of man eau now conceive. =.

He Showed No Signs OF HvdrophobiA Un-
til He Saw water-He Begged and Pray
ell to Die Before the spasms Came.
MONROE, Ca, June 26.-Mr. George
w. Malcom, Sr., one of the most promi-
nent men and one of the best citizens of
Walton county, meta horrible death at
his home nine miles from here Yesterday
morning. He died from hydrophobia
aud the scene at his death bed was terri.
bic.
On the morning Of the Sd o! June,
about daybreak, he started out to his lot
to feed his horse. In the public road
near the lot he met dog coming down
the road in run. Without the least
provocation the dog sprang at Mr.. Nal.
com, catching hun through tho nose and
face. He held on like grim death, and
only turned loose his hold after Mr.. Mall
com had checked him nearly to death.
Notwithstanding his mouth and nose
were badly torn by the bite of the dog,
and fhe blood was rapidly flowing from
his wounds, Mr.. Malcolm still held on to
the dog until he could get rock, with
which he beat the dog to death. He wac
brave. gritty man, and seemed to have
less fear of hyIrophobia than any of his
friends. lie would always say: ''I don't
think the dog was mad and 1 don't be.
lleve will have hydrophobla.
tuesday he ate a hearty dinner and
went out on the porch to get drink of
water. AS soon as the dipper reached
his lips he jumped high of the floor aud
screamed at the top of his voice.
AS soon as this, the first convulsion,
wore OIL, he announced to his family
that he was dead man-that he had hy-
drophobia. He sent at once for all his
children and had neighbor to write his
will.
This being finished, he began having
conVulsions, which were light at first
aud at intervals ofabout one hour. They
grew harder and harder and nearer and
nearer together until Wednesday even
ing, when he became exhausted aud IRA.
tional, and remained in this condition
until Thursday morning, when he died.
The physicians could do nothing to re-
lieve him. They gave him morphine,
winch made him deuthly sick, and from
tnls time he, refused to take any medi-
cine, and would go into commissions
when the subject was mentioned.
lie never drank drop of water from
the tlme he was taken until he died. He
wanted it and talked about it, and even
begged for it, but when it was brought
into his sight he would shudder and Or
der it carried away as quickly as possible.
He frothed at the mouth, and his
screams were hearrcnding. He would
beg to die, and often prayed to die be.
lore another spasm came.
He seemed to have superl.uman
strens Ia. Six men around his bedside
could not hold him down. Finally, in
convulson more terrible than any that
had preceded it, death came to his relief.
Mr.. Malcolm was sixty years old, and
deacon in his church. He leaves u
wife and ten children, most of whom are
grown and married.
