r1urder Suspect Sentenced.

If anything is ever done looking to
the unearthlng of the mystery sur
rounding the fatal assault upon Will
liam Humphrey, which occurred last
July, action will have to be delayed
for two or three years. A press
dispatch from Oconto, dated the oath,
says.
George Worthington and Joseph
Sinclair, who burglarized former
Governor Scofeld's residence last
March, appeared before County Judge
Jones yesterday morning and each
was given an intermediate sentence
OF two to three years at the state re-
formatory. No clue has yet been OBJ
tanned as to the whereabouts of the man
known as Pat Crowe,' who operated
with them"
Worthington is the person who Was
identified recently by a resident Of
this city as being one of the two
tramps who were known to have ap-
piled for lodging at the Humphrey
livery on the evening of the assault.
Nothing can be done to bring the sus-
pect to trial until he has served his
term for burglary.

Wisconsin Crop Report.

MILWAUKEE, May 2S.-United
States Department of Agriculture,
Climate and Crop Bulletin of the
Weather Bureau, Wisconsin Section,
for, the week ending May 2S.-The
latter part of the week was decidedly
cool, although the average tempera-
ture for the week was nearly normal
Heavy frosts occurred in the southern
and centrafportions of the state on Sat-
urday and Sunday mornings and kill
ing frost IN the northern. In exposed
localities the damage was consider
able, corr. potatoes, beans and gar
den vegeN bles-hh,,i;-,-- 7-e 20 he
ground and fruit more or less injured.
Barley, oats and peas were not much
injured. Tobacco plant beds we're
generally protected by covering and
escaped injury. Rain fell almost con-
tinuously from Tuesday evening until
Saturday morning, and, with the ex-
ceptlon OF few localities in the ex-
trome northwestern counties, the
ground is now thoroughly soaked
The rainfall was heaviest over the
west central counties, including La
Crosse, Monroe, Jackson, Portage,
Clark and Marathon, where the total
rainfall for the week ranged from
to a inches. The precipitation was
light test in the extreme north western
section. but generally sufficient for
present needs. Hail occurred in MANY
localities on Friday, but no damage
is reported.
The rains during the week inter
fered with the completion of corn
planting, but were very beneficial to
early planted, furnishing the much
needed moisture for termination.
With favorable weather planting will
be practically completed this week.
Winter wheat and rye: The rains
have greatly improved these crops,
but the straw is generally reported
short. Rye is heading out fairly well.
Oats and barley: The week was too
cool for rapid growth, but very gen.
eral Improvement in the condition of
these crops has occurred. The soil is
we'll stored with moisture, and with
warm weather rapid progress will be
made.
Grass and pastures have started
nicely since the rains, and the out
look for hay is much more encourag-
ing than last week. Pastures are
now furnishing an abundance of feed.
Fruit: The heavy frost during the
last OF the week undoubtedly resulted
In considerable damage to fruit, es-
pecially plums and Strawberries in ex-
posed localities. The prospect for
apples is only fair.

Eloquence at the Bar.

Sometimes it happens that the most
brilliant piece of 'spread-eaglen
oratory is answered in the most ridic-
ulous manner. A very good Instance
is that OF the time when the celebrated
legal orator, Elisha Williams. of
Northern New York, was completely
overshadowed.
= Williams was most graceful
speaker; his voice, particularly ia lis
pathetic tones, was melody itself.
His power over a jury was equal to
that of the great Choate. He swayed
as with a wand Of an enchanter. and
it was very seldom that he failed to
secure a verdict for his client. On
one occasion he failed, and in such a
manner that a crowded court and
grave judges on the bench were con-
vulsed with laughter at the burlesoue
of the result. The case was one of
murder, the scene a small country town
in the northern part of the state.
Mr.. Williams had been retained for tho.
defense, for the accused ha0 almost un-
I'm ed money at his command. Never
had orator been more eloquent, never
did jury look more convinced, and a
settled assurance of acquittal was Wis
IDLE on each face as the orator closed
brilliant speech with this exceed
1ngly touching peroration: Gentle
men of the Jury" said he, ..if you can
find this unhappy prisoner at the bar
guilty OF the crime with which he is
charged after the adverse and ire
fragable arguments which [ have laid
before you, pronounce your fatal.
verdict, send him to lie in chains
on the dungeon floor waiting the
death which he is to receive at
your hands, then go to the bosom of
your families, go lay your heads.
on your pillows-and sleep if
you can." The effect was electrical.
every one was sure of a verdict of ac-
quittal, but by and by the district at
torney's assistant rose to make the.
final speech. He drawled ana spoke
IN the vernacular; be was chewing as
he spoke. presenting marked con-
trast TO the great lawyer who had Just
sat down. ''Gentlemen of the Jury. T
should despair, after the weeping
speech which has been made to YOU
by MIR. Williams. of saying anything
to do away with its eloquence. he said.
q never heerd MIR. Williams speak:

he spoke it now. Once / heerd him

saw the effect he had made and them
closed with q single sentence: lie

Impor tant Life Insurance Decision

Our readers will be interested in
the following taken from The Milwau-
kee Sentinel, not only from the fact
that the decision is an important one
in life insurance matters, but that Mr..
Straw is well known here:
''An important insurance decision
has been handed down by Judge Lud-
wig in the garnishment suit brought
by John B. Ellison & Sons against
Alonzo W. Straw, with the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Insurance company
as garnishee defendant. Judge Lud-
wig held that the accumulated SUI plus
on the tontine plan under the pro-
visions of the policy of the North
western Mutual, is a garnishable
fund.
The decision is the first of It's
kind in the state, and may be far
reaching in it's results, as a large
amount of insurance business under
this form of policy has been written.
In 1885, Mr.. Straw insured his life
for $15, 900, for the benefit Of his wife
After his failure in business at Chi
cago Ellison. & Sons, of Phila
de,phia, secured a judgment against
him for $1,000, and began suit to
garnishee the tontine surplus Of
$3,S02.47, which had accumulated on
his policy. They also sought to gar
nishee a paid-up policy of $2,153 on
Mr.. Straw's life, in which also his
wife was beneficiary.
Judge Ludwig holds that the iu-
surance company is liable for the
amount of the tontine surplus. and
ordered judgment against them for
$3,802.47. He decided that the paid
up policy could not be touched by Mr..
Straw's creditors. The case will 90
to the supreme court, the plaintiff
having filed exceptions to the decision.
The defendants time for fling objec-
tions does not expire until June f."

COMMITTEES nEET.
Fourth of July Matters Discussed
Another nj Getting Sunday Afternoon.

The several committees appointed
to take charge of the Fourth of July
celebration met in the city hall last
evening to discuss the details of the
proposed event. The meeting was
we'll attended and everybody seemed
enthusiastic over the prospects for an
interesting celebration. Matters were
discussed only in an informal way and
it was the general sense that the COM
mittees should get together by them
selves, agree upon plan of action
along each particular line and arrive
at some conclusion as to the amount
of finances required. The meeting
was adjourned until 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, when the committees will be
ready to make definite reports. Every
member is urgently requested to be on
hand at the time stated, in the city
hall. The time for arranging the af-
fair is growing short and business must
be proceeded with in earnest.
