DISEASE ON TIE HICKORY TREES.
There seems ~ be Il disease which
this ear las become far more serious
than last Year with walnut tees.
About six weeks ago many trees show
ed what appeared spotsof rust on their
leaves, these have increased SO as to
affect all the leaves to such an extent
that fully one half the trees are with
out any foliage. As the crop of nuts
is large this season it will most likely
mean much immature fruit. The
nuts are generally of ordinary size but
will be likely To show Shrunken ker-
nclS when cured.

NEGRO SCHOOL TEACHER HANGED

Death by the Mob.

BELLEVILLE. ILL.,, June CIV. T. Wy
att, a negro school teacher, of East st.
Louis. was lynched tonight for shooting
School Superintendent Charles Hertel, Of
St. Clair county. Mr.. Hertel was in his
office this evening when Wyatt, whose GER
tificate to teach Hertel had refused to re-
new, shot him. Wyatt was Immediately
arrested and taken to Jail. Superintendent
Hertel was removed to hospital. where
the physicians probed for the bullet. but
they stated there was no chance for his re-
covery.
A mob soon formed, forced entrance to
the Jail, took out Wyatt and hanged him
to a telephone pole. While his body was
Jerking in the throes of death from stran-
gulation members of the mob began to
build a fire at the foot of the pole. The
flames 1ared up and licked at the feet of
the victim, but this did not satisfy the
mob, and another aid larger fire was
started near by. When it had begun to

cast into the fire. Means of pain were
heard from the half-dead victim and these
served to further infuriate his torturers.
They fell on him with clubs and knives and
cut and beat the burning body almost to
pieces and not until every sign of life had
departed did they desist and permit the
flames TO devour the body. AS the fire
lighted up the scene the members of the

body had been reduced to ashes the mob

GOVERNOR NOT PLEASED
PROGRESS IN BLOOMINGTON WHITE
CAP CASES TOO SLOW.
He Thinks an Indictment Could BE
Prepared That Would Stand
Test of the Courts.

Governor Durbin Is by no means pleased
with the progress of the cases against the
Bloomington whitecaps. The cases have
twice been dismissed ON technicalities, be-
cause of flaws in the indictments, and the
defendants are succeeding in accomplishing
just what they desire-postponing the trial
until next fall.
1T would SEEM" said the Governor yes
terday, that the prosecuting attorney Of
that county should be able to prepare an
Indictment that would stand the test OF the
courts Or, at least, he might secure as
sistance from other attorneys If he is not
capable of handling the cases.
Another State official who is interested in
the Bloomington case said yesterday:
..It will be recalled that at the time of
the whitecapping affair the excuse was
made that the men who perpetrated the out
rage were wholly irrespt/1sible set Yet
these men when arrested were able TO fur
nish a $50 bond promptly, employ the best
freely in other ways in preparing TO fight
the charges against them. The State mas
been worsted at every point in the legal
fieht SO far, and 4 looks now like the white
cappers would escape punishment. 1t oc-
cllrs to me that they were not such a wholly
Irresponsible set after all. They seem Ia
have abundant means and to command now
erful influence. Strange. isn't it?''

COMMITTEE DISMISSES noel.
Attorney Summari|y Discharged for Disobedience and
Alleged FIagrant Disrespect to the Members.

by special delivery to the Meyberg agency:
This letter is only one OF hundreds OF
others secured by the detectives, they say,
but is claimed to be conclusive evidence
that the Meyberg agency was known oy
other ticket brokers throughout the country
to be firm that changed and altered tick
cts. A raid was also made on the office
of A. l.. Messing and much material OF the
same character, il is said, was FOUND there,
and on the strength of the evidence secured
a warrant was issued for the arrest OF
Samuel Click, the head clerk, and IT Is SAID
other arrests will be made to-day.
For the last six months Captain Gerber,
Colbert and Hauser and the Pinkerton de-
tectives have been accommodating evidence
with a view to the arrest of the brokers In
this city.
WATCH ON TICKETS.
Careful watch has been kept of all tick
cts issued at this station and received here
by the auditors of the railroads. and in
some instances tickets have been found to
have been changed from the date of the is
sue and expiration to the originating point
and the destination and many forged pass
es, ii is claimed, have been discovered.
1t is said that the brokers here have
agents in various parts of the country and
arrests will follow in nearby cities. The
evidence produced thus far Will involve a
number of prominent railroad employees
and officials, ii is said, from New YORK
to San Francisco. Attorney John >. Dun
can represents the Railway Ticket Pro-
tective Bureau in this city and will assist
the State in the prosecution of the cases
in Indianapolis. 1t is said that suff1cient
proof has been gathered by the detectives
here to warrant the arrest and conviction
of a chain of ticket scalpers and brokers
who cooperate in nearly all the cities OF
any size in the country. Many surprises
will be sprung, it is said, before the pres
ent cases come to trial, but the evidence in
all the cases is not ready for the public
+hn nnf arrnn
speaking of the arrests, said he believed
that some of the most clever frauds ever
perpetraoed would be exposed in the course
of a day or so. Friends of Meyberg claim
that his arrest is due to persecution by the
railroads and that a preliminary trial will
fully establish his innocence.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE. Ind. June 6.-Testimony of
the most sensational order was given in
the Chase trial at Fowler by William Ca
dogan. a former coachman of the Duhmes
this afternoon. The story he told was vir-
tually a charge that the Duhmes were re-
sponsible for the mental condition of Moses
Fowler Chase.
Cadogan recited Incidents that occurred
in September, $685. One day young Chase
came out of the house with blood on his
hands He said IL was red paint TO paint
his airShip. Five days later he went
driving with young woman. He was
dressed in old clothes and looked dirty

lawyers have this letter Of apology in their
possession.
the middle of September, 1898. when young
Chase called him into the yard and asked
him for some ice cream The boy said his
uncle had sent him from the house. Mr.
Duhme then came out. and. according to
Cadogan's story. ordered young Chase to
go into the house. When the boy refused
Duhme struck him in the face and knocked
him unconscious. There was a large lump
on the boys head, and the coachman. a
servant and the Duhmes carried him up
stairs and put him in bed. While there
Young Chase told Cadogan that the Duhmes
abused him so that his reason was affected
Mr. Duhme heard the boy tell this, and
rushing into the room, choked him. Young
Chase refused TO take back what he had
said Cadogan said he believed that the
Duhmes were partly responsible for the
boys insanity
The case probably will go to the jury on
Wednesday, after two days of argument.

HANGING OF COPENHAVER
INDIANAPOLIS MAN WILL MEET
DEATH WITH THE NEGRO JACKSON.
Warden Reid I'm the City, but Does Not
Care to Talk Much of the
Executions.

Warden James D. Reid, of the State
Prison at Michigan City, was here yester-
day to look after some business matters
connected with the institution. Mr.. Reid
says the prison is IN excellent condition
at present and that some Of the improve
ments provided for by appropriations made
by the recent Legislature are well under
way.
On Friday morning of next week there
will be double hanging at the prison. Ora
Copenhaver of Indianapolis, and the ne
gro Jackson, of Evansville. will be exc
cuted. Mr.. Reid was averse to speaking
of the coming event, as he said he did not
want to begin to think of ii until at the
last moment. when he would lay hold of
the unpleasant task and get through with
it in the shortest possible time. Prior to
this there have been five executions at the
prison under Mr.. Reds administration. No
other prisoners are now under sentence OF
death aside from Copenhaver and Jackson,
and the prison authorities hope TO escape
affairs like that of next Friday for some
time to come.
