THE SWEENY FAMILY.
1t is Said Its Members Have Declined
Employment.

A number of kind-hearted persons
have been taking food, etc, to a Mrs
Sweeny and her two sons, who occupy
a cabin on ground owned by James
Pearson north of the Pioneer Mill, and
who were reported to be in destitute
circumstances.
A citizen who lives near By the cabin
informs the Record Union that the
two sons, some II or IS years old, have
been offered employment at 81 a day
but could not be induced to accept it
Mr.. Pearson has allowed them to use
the cabin and stove, and gives then
free pasturage for their pair of horses
but having satisfied himself that the
boys do not want to work he intends tc
shorten their stay there.
The "Record-Union" does not wish tC
do the family the slightest injustice
but as reputable persons say that more
than one offer of employment has been
refused by the youths, it advises those
who are giving them supplies TO inves-
tigate the situation, lest they be inn
posed on.

MURDERER HOLMES
Will be Hanged in the County Prison
at Philadelphia To-Day.

PHILADELPHIA May Cat or
shortly after 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning Herman Mudgett, or as he is
Familiarity and UNANIMOUSLY known, II.
H. Holmes, will be hanged in the
County Prison for the murder on Sep
TENDER 2, 1894, of his fellow-insurance
swindler Benjamin F. Pitzel.
During last night Holmes slept only
at intervals He spent the greater part
of the long hours in talking to his death
watch or in reading. At times he would
read his Bible earnestly, and then sud-
denly with a petulent movement he
would throw the book from him and
busily go over the stories in the papers
relating to himself which he has so
often read.
The mans appetite continues good,
and he ate a hearty breakfast this
morning, and a long, busy day followed.
Father Daily, his spiritual adviser,
called four times to-day, and at one of
his visits received his penitent's last
confession and gave him absolution OF
course Holmes confession to Father
Daley was sacred, and all the priest
would say concerning his visit to
Holmes was that the man is ready and
prepared to die and is sincere in the re-
pentence of his sins.
This afternoon George Chamberlain,
the Chicago real estate man who at
tended to Holmes real estate business
in that city, was with Holmes for some
time. Lawyers Rotan and Moon were
present at the interview. What con-
illusions were reached is not known, but
it is thought Holmes has made no will,
but that he will leave the holders of
mortgages upon his property to fight
out their titles to the same in the courts
Holmes was much affected at part
ing with his visitors. He still main
tains a calm demeanor. There is nc
bravado about the man, but only the
composure of one who has left all hope
behind. The prison officials say that
Holmes composure is forced, and that
he is exceedingly nervous and has a
fearful dread of death.
Holmes may die in silence He said
this evening that if he felt tomorrow
morning as he does tonight he would
make no statement either in his cell
or from the scaffold, but that if he did
make a statement it would be a denial
of many murders with which he stands
charged. He said tonight that he was
innocent of the death of all the people
he is accused Of numbering save two
Mrs. Connor and Emily Cigrande In
the case of these two women Holmes
says that he caused their deaths
through accident, and not through in
tention, as both died from the results OF
criminal operation.
Sheriff Clement has been besieged
by several thousand applicants to see
the execution, and has been literally
driven from his office to evade the mob
Holmes will be buried in Philadel-
phia, but where cannot be learned to-
night. Immediately after Holmes is
cut down and pronounced dead Mr.
Rotan will claim the body, and will not
allow a post norton examination.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
CONDITIONS FAVORABLE EAS1
OF THE ROCKIES.
The Continued Heavy Rains in Oregon,
Washington and Northern Cali
fOrnia UnfavOrable.

CHICAGO, May 5-The reports as
to the condition Of the crops through
the country and the general effect of
the weather on the cultivation, growth
and harvest of the same, were to-day
made by the directors of the several
climate and crop sections.
Eastward of the Rocky Mountains
the week has been generally favorable,
although wet for farm wark in portions
OF the Upper Mississippi and Upper
Missouri Valleys. In the Rocky Mount
ain States and on the Pacific Coast it
has been too cool, and the abnormally
low temperatures have been attended
by very heavy rains in Washington
Oregon and Northern California which
have proved unfavorable. Further i'm
provement in the condition CT winter
wheat is generally reported.
North Dakota-The exceptionally
heavy rains of the past week have
stopped all work in northern and east
ern portions of the State. Consider
ahle seeding has been done in central
and southern portions. The grain first
sown is coming up.
South Dakota-The temperature has
been considerably above normal; show
ers frequent and copious and sunshine
ample. Seeding has been retarded
some in central and northern counties
by rain. Growth of all vegetation has
been rapid and healthy. Gardening
and corn ground blowing general.
Nebraska-Good growing week, but
the excessive rains and continued wet
soil have retarded farm worl. Corn
planting has progressed slowly, and
is about half completed in extreme
southeastern counties. Early planted
corn is coming up nicely in southern
counties. Small grains and grasses
have made exceptionally fine growth.
Missouri-The week has been favor
able for all crops. Corn planting has
been retarded by rains in the south
ern section. Early corn has q good
stand, and cultivation has commenced.
All grains and grasses are doing well,
but need rain in a few northern coun-
ties. Army worms are doing some
damage in the southeastern portion.
Iowa-Frequent showers, with ex
cessive rainfall and cloudiness in north
err and central districts, have retarded
blowing and planting. Planting is well
advanced in portions of southern dis
tricts. Winter and spring grain and
grass are making notable progress.
