The complaint waa sworn to by ll 8. Italian and A. H. Blakesley, and the examination took place More Judge Doho, and Felber was adjudged insane and com mitted to lb asylum. When ques tioned by the physicians Felber said be knew it was wrong lo steal but de clared that, being aul of work, he was obliged to do so in order to live. He also slated that be had been confined in the Joliet penitentiary In Illinois, from October 1891 to 1894 for stealing 600 feet of lumber. lis said it did not make any difference to him whether he went to the asylum or to tbe peni tentiary, for in either case be would ba cared for Instead of gelling his Hy ing In th way ha had heretofore. His ess is a peculiar one, and he will probably not remain in th asylum long. . Tbb 8amb Hkhb.

Dabokb AhbadI Strange as It may appear, there has been considerable apprehension among th farmers and fruit growers In Ibis locality for the safety of next ssasoo's fruit crop. Thoir concern grew out of Ibe faot that for sevsral days past, up to the first of the present week, the buds on fruit trees were rapidly swelling, and In some esses were almost ready to bloom, Tbis was noticeable, too, on many kinds of shrubs, and bad the warm weavher continued another forty eight hours there would have been many fruit trees W nearly full bloom. Had this been the ess there certainly would have been soothe, short fruit orop for this section, a thing which could not profitably be experienced again, as the orop last year was an al most total failure. This condition of such early budding was experienced a number' of years ago, whan, on Christmas day of that year, there were two cherry trees on R. Cox's place, at Warren, In full bloom. The result was that ths cherry crop on that place was a complete failure. However, if there should prevail colder weather for a lew weeks yet, there may naturally be expected an abundant amount of iruit next season. Hew la lreve Cran.

Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the causj, nrst symptoms and treatmeat is tbe object of tbis item. Tbe origin of croup is a oommon cold. Children wb are subject to it take cold very easily and croun is almost sure to fol low. The first symptom Is hoarseness ; tbis Is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which Is easily recog nixed and will never be forgotten by one wbo has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse.

CUBAN LEADER MURDERED General Maceo and His Staff Horribly Butchered. Under Pretense of Making; Peace th Dastardly Outrage Wae ' Committed. Through the Associated Press reports the details of the murder of General Antonio Maceo and bis stuff bas been made known. Following are the details as reported by s Cuban in a letter written to a friend at Jacksonville, Florida s . "Havava, Deo. 0 Dear Friend Justo: Our bravs general, Antonio Maceo, and tbe greater part of his stuff bave been mur dered by tbe Spaniards, the Spanish major. Ctruje la, acting the part of assassin, with Dr. Maximo Zertucba as an assistant in tbe horrible drama. "Convinced that, notwithstanding his enormous army, bs could do nothing against our gallant lesder, wbo had so re peatedly defeated tbe Spanish generals in Finer del Bio, Weyler conceived tbe Idea of appeasing his beastly instincts by cold blooded murder, and making tbe best of tbe secret relations between Dr. Zertucba and tba Marquis Ahomada, he planned with the latter his hellish scheme. "Weyler took the field, and in bis ab sence Ahumada proposed through Maceo s physician, Zertncba, a conference with Maceo, to take place at a certain point in tbe province of Havana, with tbe view of arranging plans for tbe cessation cf hos tilities. Tbs basis was to be Cuba's inde pendence, snd a monetary Indemnity to Spain, together with certain advantages that should be agreed npon for Spanish commerce and Spanish capital Invested there. " "Tocsrryout the plan, tbe agreement was tbat orders should be given to tbe de tachments of troops stationed on the troche on the section between Martel and Guana Jay, to allow Maceo, with bis staff, to pass the military line unmolested. Time was required to mature tbese arrangements, and to give them all the appearance of truth, Ahumada feigned that before acting he must make tbem known to Weyler for previous approval. "Tbis sxplains Weyler's sndden arrival in Havana and his prompt departure for Pioar del Rio. The conditions and place of meeting having been agreed upon, Maceo crossed tbs trocha, over the road to Guana- jay, without being molested by tbe forte, but as soon ss ha arrived at the place de cided upon, he and bis party were greeted by a tremendous volley from tbe troops nnder Major Cirajeda, who lay conven iently in smbnsh. -"Most of the officers of his staff fell with General Maceo. Zertucha is alive, because he was aware of tbe scheme and remained In tbe rear." In a letter from another Cuban ws find the following: "Maceo erossed tbe trocha, gaing to the place appointed for the meeting. He passed tbe Spanish sentinels nnder Spanish pro tection, and they presented arms in his honor. Going forward some four miles from the trocha, Maceo snd his staff, nam. bering35 men and officers, came to hill side thickly stndded with small pines and underbrush. Here a Spanish outpost was observed. Maceo sent forward his flag, and in a tew minutes was signaled to advance. As be did so, hundreds of 8panish soldiers arose out of the nnderbrnsb, surrounding ths party. Major Cirujeda galloped op and demanded Maceo's surrender. "Never," shouted ths intrepid Cuban leader, drawing bis sword. "Forward, my men; death to tbe cow ards," shouted Cirujeda. At this the Spanish soldiers poured in a fir of leaden bullets. Maceo fell at the first fire and young Gomes next. The fire was continued nntil every man was killed. except Dr. Zertufcha, whom the Cubans say Is a traitor. Ths bodies of Maceo and young Gomes were then lied to the tails ot the soldiers' horses and dragged over the field, so as to disfigure them, as the Span iards did not wish to have (hem discovered and identified at first.
