Tele graphic advices from corresponds nts of Thf Isteb OceaS at every point of importance in Illinois lastnight indicated that a rain that as general throughout the State fell all day yesterday. At some points the rain had begun the night before, thus securing a rood start in its mission to "break the drought." The result of this steady downpour lasting from twenty-four to thirty-six hours has been, to esc the idiom of the crop correspondent, "to make the farmers jubilant." At Blooming too and other points there has been no rain of any consequeuce for six months and toe spring: seeding bad be pTin is most inauspicious circumstances.

The ground was very dry and dusty aad in neighborhoods that hare been swept by March pales the seed was literally blown out of the soil and carried through the air with the dust. This his madV reseeding necessary in many cases. The rain has put an end to this trouble and has jriven all crops a pood start. The ground has also been put in excellent condition for plow in? for corn. In the farming region tributary to Fair-bury the long continued dry spell has bt-en productive of unusual hardships for the farmers.

For several weeks hijrh winds ap-proxin ating in violence a hurricane have Kept the atmosphere full of blindiDg dust, and farmer were obliged to neglect all out tne most urgent outdoor work. At intervals the terrific rale, in sweeping over tne tilled fields, abated long enough to deposit dust that it was carrying. The result this has been the formation in the fields irregular banks of dust, similar in form i drifts of snow.

Nearly all the counties in that district report the conditions excellent, though In the Western portion of the valley there is a complaint of lack of seed to sow a fall crop.

Cohen provided well for all her children and gave each a liberal financial start. Edgar was a member of the commission firm of Walter B. Clark St in liquidation.

"Honesty and desire for the good of country and city should dictate your ballot next Tuesday." Such were the last words of Anton C. Hesing. wbo died at his home in this city yesterday-morning. In times of peace men are not called upon to make a sacrifice of life upon their country's altar. Not less imbued with trne patriotism, how.

ever, is this plea for tbe parity and sanctity of the Dallot than was the err of Arnold Wlnkelreid, "Make way for liberty!" It is a sentiment that stands above party, beyond nationality, and embodies the loyalty and love tbat one of foreign birth may have for his adopted country. Like tbe glory tbat spreads upon cloud and sky after the sun has dropped behind the western line, so coma the words of Anton C. Hesing, penned a few hours be- ANTf C. life drifted fore his life drifted into tbe shadow. Strong in his own integrity, he appeals to his friends and countrymen to rise to the -measure of true citizenship and refuse to subvert the sacred right of the ballot to improper ends.

Writing at his desk late into tbe night, this in domitable man of 72 years finishes what be has to say, signs bis name, and retires to the couch from which be never rises again. His words will fall deep into many a heart. not alone of his own nationality, but of his countrymen, for we are all his country men. abroad Stroke of Paralysis.

He was brought his home in this city and within a short time bad almost entirely recovered. Since tbat time he had been in fair health and during the past sixty days bad felt so especially well tbat be contemplated and was actually planing a trip abroad, with the intention of spending tbe summer at Kneipo water cure. On Wednesday night of last week his son. Mr. Washington Hesing, returned from Wash in ton, D.

At 7:30 o'clock she sent for Mr. Washington Heaing, who arrived at fifteen minutes after 8, only to find his father had breathed his last An examination showed that death resulted from a second stroke of oaralysis.

The end was peaceful and serene, so word was spoken or message left other than the manuscript upon his desk. Mr. Washington Hesing. present post master of Chicago, is an only son, and the. relations existing between them were ex ceptionally intimate.

Not only was there a deep filial attachment, bnt their close re lations bad been carried into business and commercial matters, and in all the years had never known the slightest breach.

Speaking of Mayor Strong's administra tion in New York Mr. Depew referred in most praiseworthy terms to its effective ness and success.

"There is a strong trend toward non-partisanship in our local affairs." he continued; "in fact we do not regard municipal matters as politics. We are heartily in favor or civil service of the effective sort and want all power as regards the police vested in the mayor. It was the startling revelations made by tbe Lexow committee that started and stimulated tbe movement toward reform. Dr. Park hurst's work would have amounted to naught if it had not been for tbe disclosures of this commit tee.

When tbe Lexow committee bad finished its task, tbo Republicans, being in power in tbe State, proposed to give the necessary legislation.

Aadrewc For Coaataola. CUrcca a oove is toe victorious ueaet, aingea ev Swift and reform, which the Bepabiieans and public-spirited ei Ulcus of Chicago will elect tomorrow by at least 30,000 majority. When the eaaipaign practically closed Saturday night it was generally eeexedeel tbat Mr. Swift's method of eon acting Us battle had won for himself aad the party the. major portion of tbe independent rot- era, wbo choose the best men In muaieipal affairs, regardless of their national polities.

In reviewing the situation last night James B. Van Cleave who besides being the Republican candidate for city clerk is a maa with good insight late) political matters said that George Swift had done more Tor placing- the local Republican party on a high plane thaa any candidate wbo baa ever been before the people for mayor. "I have been In tbe heat of public affairs for many said Mr. Van Cleave, "but I must say that Mr. Swift has touched tbe people aa no maa ever did.

His campaign has been the embodiment ef dignity, decency, fact. aad principle. Hi has demonstrated his ability to all the people, and his advocacy of reform has been businesslike aad straightforward. I have been with Mr. Swift nightly for three weeks.

Ia a Instance has a failed to Im press his sincerity and" his for the trust of all eitiaeas. I cannot see twwaay'Mr-mhided ataa wbo baa heard Mr. Swift during the campaign. eaa vote against him. Certainly I cannot see how any oae who advocates eivil-eervice reform aad a business man's administration of the City Hall eaa afford to do so.

Mr. Swift, has been a world ef strength to the ticket, and will be elected by tbe Be-publican, majority of. last fall. As the country towns cannot vote for Mr. Swift, I think such a she wing wiu be moat credit able." Adam comes next on the ticket aa tbe candidate for city' treasurer.

ill. defeat Mr. Weoter's claims oa the German vote. Mr. Wolfs promise to turn ever all interest oa public money aa well aa his standing as a business man invite, tbe suffrages of the publie-epirited voteik.
