DEATH OF CHARLES HINE.

sIr Hine passed to his rest early Thurs. day morning and his funeral occurred on Saturday afternoon. He was member of the Congregational church here for 50 years. He was born in Ohio, but came here in boyhood. He attended school at the academy, now the town house. For 10 years he was postmaster, and for long years ill the mercantile business. He was leading man and most esti- mable citizen. His death creates a vacancy hard to fill. We feel reluctant to give him up, yet we are compelled to do so. We trust our loss is his gain. Just five weeks to a day from the death of his beloved wife, he died, and at the same hour of the day, just five weeks later occurred his funeral.

Raid of the Sheriff on the Den
of the Pretended "MeS-
Siah."
Grand Jury Indictments Returned
Against the Leader of the
"HeaVen."

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, April 2.-The Grand
Jury, after an investigation of week, re-
turned three indictments to-day against
George Jacob Schweinfurth, the pretended
Messiah" who lives near this city, charg-
ing him with living openly with Mary
Walden, Isabel Tuttle and Marguerite Teft
Weldon. The women were also indicted.
A capias was issued for Schweinfurth.
The indictments caused general rejoicing
among the people, who hope to break up
the place.
Sheriff Oliver went to the "heaven" this
afternoon with warrant for the arrest OF
G. J. Schweinfurth, indicted by the Grand
Jury. The alleged messiah" did not
come out of the house for an hour after the
arrival of the officers, but finally accepted
service without resistance.
The Sheriff also had an execution to levy
on his personal property on account OF
George w. Coudrey's $4,000 judgment OBJ
tanned in Chicago, but every door and
window was kept closely locked and
guarded and he was unable to get in to
make the levy.
Schweinfurth was under arrest and in
custody of the Sheriff in Rockford in six
hours, but was finally bailed out, the bond
being signed by the Weldons. The bond
is only good until Monday morning, when
Schweinfurth, Mary Weldon, Isabel Tut
tie and Margaret Weldon will probably
enter pleas to the indictments returned
against them The investigation of the
place has created great sensation.

heavy rains during January, however, this
lack of precipitation will have no bad
effect on the crops, which are promising

est in quantity and better in quality than

CULLOM At Los ANGELES,
The Illinois Senator Talks on
the Deep-Water Harbor
Question.
He Has Always Favored San Pedro's
Candidacy, but Wants to In
vestigate More Fully.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April 27.-United
States Senator Cullom of Illinois is COM
fortably lodged at the Westminster Hotel
in this city. He arrived this morning, ac-
companied by his wife and daughter. The
immediate object of his visit is to investi-
gate the respective merits of Santa Monica
and San Pedro harbors as site for the
harbor of Los Angeles, over which ques-
ton there has been and still is so much
wrangling. Senator Cullom is member
of the Congressional committee on COM
merce, before which the discussions on the
harbor question have been made. In an
interview this afternoon he said:
81 have always favored San Pedro, be-
cause I relied on the statements of the
Governments engineers. Whenever l adj
duced this argument before the committee,
those members who had been out here and
favored Santa Monica declared they knew
something about the harbor matter as well
as the engineers, as they had been out here
and looked over the matter for themselves.
In order to have the same advantage as
they possessed, l made up my mind to
come out here myself.
NEARLY all the members of the Com
mittee on Commerce will be out here some
time during the summer. They will not
come in body, but will come struggling
along, as / have done. We would have
come out in the early part of last year,
but the Democrats wanted to be on deck
to see to it that no patronage passed by
them. There were other reasons why the
committee has not been out here, but
before the next session convenes most of
the committee will have inspected the two
places, and some action will be taken on
the natter
Speaking about silver, he said the senti-
ment of the country was growing in favor
of it, and some definite action on the mat
ter would have to be taken in the next
session of Congress.
