WISCONSIN CROP REPORT.
Conditions for the Week Ending May

According to the Wisconsin report
the week, was slightly warmer than
the preceding, especially along the
w. estern border of the state, where
the mean temperature was about 81
degrees. Frosts occurred generally
on Monday and Tuesday nights and in
some localities ice formed a quarter of
an inch in thickness. Fortunately
vegetation was notA sufficiently ad-
vanced to be liable to great injury.
In few localities fruit is believed to
have been injured to some extent, but
generally the damage was compare
lively slight. There was practically
no rain during the week. A few light
local showers occurred, which relieved
the drought in some localities, but for
the state as aAwhole the lack Of rain
fall has now come to be very serious
menace to all crops, and especially so
to grass aid pastures. In the south
ern and middle sections corn planting
is nearing completion, and is well I'M
soil is prepared for potatoes and some
of the early varieties have been
planted.
The lack of moisture has retarded
the growth of winter wheat and rye
but they are still generally III promis-
ing condition. Rye is beginning to
head out in some localities but the
straw is rather short.
The frosts early in the week I'M
doubtedly injured fruit in exposed To-
calities, but the extent of the il jury
cannot be determined at this time.
Apple trees are not generally bloom
ing profusely and the general opinion
prevails that the crop will not be
large. The outlook for cherries and
plums is very encouraging.

BREscI KILLS HIMSELF.
Assassin of Late King Humbert Com
mits Suicide.


Rome, May 24-Bresci, the assassin
of the late King Humbert, has COM
mitted suicide at the penitentiary of
Santo Stefano. Bresci recently had
been suffering from extreme excite
ment, declared to be from remorse
Tuesday night he made a rope from
his blankets and strangled himself.
On the wall of Bresci's cell the word
Vengeance" was scratched with his
bloody thumb-nail. Bresci's violence
last week eliminated in his attacking
a jailer, in consequence of which he
was placed in straight-jacket Later
the prisoner feigned docility in order
to secure an opportunity to commit
suicide, which he accomplished by
hanging himself with an improvised
rope attached to the ceiling. In the
earlier days of his Imprisonment Bres-
ci resented ordes to keep silent and
threatened to kill himself.
At a cabinet council held at the
Quirinal yesterday, Signor Gielityi,
minister of the interor, informed the
king of the suicide of Bresci. His
majesty remained pensiVe for few
moments, and then said: 1T is, per-
haps, the best thing that could have
happened to the unhappy man."

Many Workmen.

sion of mine dust occurred in the New
Richmond coal mine Of the Dayton
Coal and Iron company yesterday
afternoon. The dead bodies of twelve
white miners have already been taken

known to be dead. 1t is stat
ed that thirtyfye men are
at work in the mine, all white. and it
is feared all have persisted. Relief
gangs are at work, but owing to the
immense debris in the shaft work has
been slow and tedious. The explosion
is thought to have been caused by an
open lamp carried by one of the min
ers. The mine is located several
miles from Dayton and details are diff
ficult to obtain.

Eliminating One District.
