HE is STILL AT LAKEWOOD.
Fact That Physicians Are in Close
Attendance Has Caused
Apprehension.
Watchmen Constantly on Guard Mt
Hotel Making it Very Difficult
To Obtain Information.

Lakewood n. T.. April 23.-At IL
o'clock this morning it was learned
that ex-Presdent Grover Cleveland
who is suffering from an attack OF
stomach trouble, was not quite so well
as he was yesterday. MIR. Cleveland Is
at Lakewood hotel, where his apart
ments have been kept open after the
closing of the remainder Of the hotel.
He has had similar attacks in the past
and It has always been his custom to
leave his home at Princeton for Lake
wood where his recovery has been aid
ed by the mlldness OF the climate. lie

GARDENER, of Lakewood, and DIR. JOS
eph d. Bryant of New York. DR.. Bly-
ant has been Mr.. C1eveland's physician

to Princeton yesterday. has returned
to Lakewood.
The fact that ex-Presdent Grover
Cleveland remains at the Lakewood ho-
tel after the hotel had been closed for
the season. while physicians are in
close attendance, has caused apprehen-
sion that Mr.. Cleveland's progress to-
ward recovery from q recent attack OF
illness has not been as rapid as desired.
Watchmen are constantly on guard
about the hotel and 1t is difficult to OBJ
tain information concerning the condi-
tion of the former president. Mr. Cleve-
land occupies a suite ON the second
floor of the hotel and DIR. GARDENER, tho
hotel physician Is In constant attend
attendance. DR.. Joseph ID. Bryant of
New York, Mr. Cleveland's physician

dent Cleveland was no worse than he

val at Lakewood Mrs. Cleveland

day but remained only short time.

Illinois Supreme Court Renders a
Decision to that Effect on
Act Passed Last Winter.
SALOONS ARE VERY HARD HIT.
On Decision Depend Effects Of Three
Elections--Thirty Six Counties
Barred out Dram shops.

Springfield, MS, April 2S.-The SUI
preme court today in a decision de-
clared the new local option law passed
last year constitutional.
Upon this decree depend the effects
of three saloon elections which have
been held under provisions of the pres
emit law. The elections resulted in SO
counties barring out saloons altogether,
while SO other counties turned the
liquor dispensaries out of all but one
or two towns In the county
Al least 100000 people in Illinois
who have lived in prohibition districts
would perhaps be put back into saloon
territory If the supreme court declared
the law unconstitutional
The decision of the court has been
awaited with great anxiety by both
sides because Of the wide range of pos
sibiliies. Attacks had been directed
against more than Il score of separate
divisions in the measure. The most
important Of these special assaults was
the claim of the liau)r representatives
that the people outside of u township
could not vote the saloons out of q
village or city lying wholly within that
township.

HANGED TO TELEGRAPH POLE
1t Was a Quiet Affair-No One
viii Admit Knowing Any
thing About 1t.
Simpsons Reputation Was Very Bad,
His Last killing Being Cold
Blooded Affair.

Rhyolite, New. April 2S.-shortly af-
citizens at Skidoo, a camp in Callfor-
MIA, So miles south of here, overpowered
the sherlff's guard in charge of Joe
Simpson, the gambler who shot and
killed James Arnold last Sunday, and
hanged the prisoner to a telegraph
pole where his body dangled this morn
ing as the citizens of the camp arose.
The lynching was accomplished quietly
and today no one in Skidoo will ac-
knowledge having any information re
lating to the affair. Simpson was
hanged from the cross arm of the pole
to which he was bound last Sunday
after he had made an attempt upon the
lie of Cashier Dobbs of the Southern
California bank at Skidoo.
simpson, who bore an unsavory repu-
tatlon, was intoxicated, and after
threatening Dobbs, shot and killed Ar
mold in what il said to have been
cold booded manner Arnold was
butcher and one of the most promi-
nent men in the camp. He located

simpson walked into Arnold's store
with the question, What have you
against me?"
on being told by Arnold that he had
nothing against him. Simpson pulled an
automatic pistol and said;
Prepare to die; | am going to Kill
you Instantly he fired, the bullet en-
tering below the heart
There was strong talk of lynching at
the time of the killing, but this feeling
died away and it was thought that
nothing would come of it. The hearing
Of Simpson was set for today and as
the time approached in view of the
fact that the killing was regarded gen
orally as cold blooded murder the PEG
pie OF the mining camp again became
wrought up and decided 10 take the
law into their own hands. There is no
Jail at Skidoo and Deputy Seller, with
strong guard, had been holding the
prisoner in a vacant building. pending
his preliminary trial About 8 o'clock
posse of masked men surrounded the
building demanding the murderer. In
less tan 10 minutes premature justice
had taken it's course.
Simpson was considered n worthless
character and the lynching, throughout
this mining section, is generally APP
plauded.
