Under the dome of the capitol he executed a skirt dance, with all the gyration of a premier kicker in a variety show. The state house- attaches gathered to witness the performance, and Gorby suddenly flopped from burlesque to tragedy, chasing the spectators out of the building, and threatening them with death. Gorby then went to his room on the second floor, saturated the carpet with a can of gasoline and went through his pockets for a match, but fortunately was unable to find one. He broke one of the windows and was about to j ump out when the state house authorities came in and overpowered him. He was given ten grains of morphine. which quieted his nerves, but failed to put him to sleep. The storm that raged at Brazil the other night did considerable damage.

SUNSHINE IS NEEDED. HI Eff<*ct« of the Backward Spring on Crop Condition*—(iloomy Reports From the Farmers—The Wheat Fields Generally in Very Poor Condition and Few Oats Have Been Sown Thus Far—The' Fruit Crop Has Suffered Also. Chicago, May 1..—The country for the last week or two has been waiting: with anxiety to see the clouds roll by and give forth the greatest need —sunshine—not only for the crops which are in the ground, but for theteie which are yet to be put in. Everything in nature has been at a standstill. The month of April closes np in many respects almost identically with that of a year ago. Still ^lere is this encouragement. that in 189*2 it was not. until the first week in June that the crop conditions of the country took a favorable turn. ; Nebraska reports that so far this spring the season has teen dry. They have had some rain this week, but need much more. The oat stand is fair, tut the weather since the rain has been cold and vegetation has made little if any progress. Iowa reports that ever since. April 15 they have had nothing but rain, snow apd cold weather, and no farm work has been done for some time. The early-sown oats are all up. but the late sown have not yet made their appearance. No corn has been planted and will not be for ten days. The grass is short and farmers are obliged to feed both hay and grain almost as freely as in winter. In Illinois in the central portion of the state, devoted largety to corn and oats, there has not teen a furrow turned except on thoroughly tilled lauds for ten days. All the early-sown oats have come up and the ground begins tp look green,' No damage to the crop has resulted from the' effects of the cold weather which has extended over so wide a section of the country. Of course under the conditions which have prevailed no one has even thought of plowing or. inhere the lands are ready, of planting corn. There is need of favorable, clear and milder weather for at least a week to put the ground |n condition for planting. Both Ohio and Indiana report favorable conditions to the oat crop, but so far no corn has been planted, and there is no immediate prospect of any change in that direction. In the southern part of Kansas probably half to two-thirds of the corn is planted. Oats have made a fairly good stand, but have suffered recently from the wind storms. Missouri reports that the cold, wet weather has delayed corn planting very much. The oat -rop is doin^fairly well. Northern Minnesota report that not more than 5 per cent, of the seeding is done. In Southern Minnesota no seeding has been, and th^re is no prosDect that any will be done before May 1.

Reports from North Dakota Jin the Red River valley, show that no seeding has been done yet, and it does not look now as if much wheat wpuld be put in before the middle of May. With a late spring it is necessary to have a g0od, hot. forcing season to grow and mature the crop before frost. With a continuance of present conditions the low, wet land, will not be seeded this season. In South Dakota seeding so far has only been done in patches, and the conditions which existed ten to fourteen days ago have all been changed by the snows and rains and cold weather, which have been the order of the day. Some correspondents think it is the worst season they have seen in thirteen years. It may be as late as May 14 before seeding will be finished. The prospects for a wheat crop sown ifter the 1st of May are geaerally very poor. South Michigan reports that the weather has been cold and backward. The crop has as ypt made little if any growth, and the harvest will be much larger than usual. Some areas report a little improvement, but taking the state as a whole has about held its own. Ohio reports that wheat is now about 6 inches high, with condition fully as good as thirty days ago. South Ohio reports quite a change for tho better in appearance in the last two or three weeks. The conditions are fully as good as they-Vere last year at this time. 1 he height of the crop is from 6 to 10 inches. Southern Indiana reports that wheat is now from 4 to 12 inches high. It does not need any more rain, but on the contrary wants dry, warm weather. Central Indiana reports five days of snow and rain, and weather so cold that it has given little growth to the wheat. In the north portion of the state, notwithstanding the wet and cold weather of the last weex. wheat seems to have been doing well, and taking the state as a whole there is a slight improvement over thirty days ago. In southern Illinois wheat has had rutlier an over abund ance of rain, in fact more than is cood for it at this ime of the year, and there is no improvement in its general condition. Ihe height is all the way from 2 to 10 inches. The growth has -been almost nt a standstill for the last month and is not making that advance it should at this time of the year. In central Illinois the weather has been' cold and wet for nearly fourteen days. A large area of the lowlands has been under water and th« wheat is so thoroughly water-soaked that it is either dead or will be. Northern Missouri reports that there is no improvement in the wheat crop in that section. The high-ground wheat is poor. Some of the Missouri river bottom wheat from a distance looks well. When examined closely it shows that it is not starting off right. It is sickly and spindling. In southern Missouri wheat is from 6 to 18 inches in height. Much of it is thin on the ground, with nothing now to indicate an average crop. In Kansas, taking the state as a whole, wheat is not improving as it should at this season of the year. The crop has made little progress during the last, tea days, and has suffered greatly from the winds, which in many instances have nearly wiped it out. The crop at this date is certainly not holding its own. It would look as if the Kansas winds had blown over into Tennessee, as the reports show that, on account of. the cold weather and strong winds, wheat is not making much growth. The late-sown wheat is from 3 to 4 inches high, while the early-sown iis from 16 to 20. Kentucky reports that until the last ten or twelve days wheat has made fine growth. Tike weat her is cool enough to keep off the rust, and the average height of the wheat is about 14 inches. Texas reports that there is no improvement in the condition of the wheat as compared with a month ago. Wheat is about 10 inches high and heading out. Prospects of oats ars poor. The weather for the last three weeks has been cold, frosty and dry. Rains are greatly needed at the present time, otherwise the wheat and out crop will not come up to ar average. In some localities, particularly in the states of Kansas arid Missouri, the recent cold, freezing* weather has injured the fruit seriously. With this exception this most important crop to \ the country, up to this time, has come out fairly well. A good many correspondents. however, say in the more northern latitude that warm weather must come before it <^an be determined definitely what has been the effect of the backward, cold spidng of 1S93. The Hostile Navajos to be Taught a ILe*Washington, May 1.—The commissioner of Indian affairs yesterday morning received the - following telegram from Col. Plummer, agent of the Navajos: “It is my intention to use the troops asked for j to compel the surrender of the murderers and other outlaws and tc bring the Indians into the reservation. The necessity for a large force immediately is mere urgent than reported yesterday. Abe Navajos along this border practically rule everything, defying all authority and disregarding j all rights of white settlers.”
