ty for saying he he'd just got q dis
patch from "Red," John McElwel)
who committed suicide last Thursday

and he will probably be on hand for
next weeks sports at the race track.

CLAY CENTRE, Kan, June 3.-Domestic
infelicity and jealousy wrecks another fami-
ly, lays one of the principle actors in the
grave and makes an outcast with a price on
his head of the other. On account of OK
cessivc attentions to his wife James Seeley
became intensely jealous of Carl School
craft. There has been intense feeling grow
ing out of the matter some time which cul-
minated last evening about 10 o'clock.
Seeley and wife were talking over their
troubles when Schoolcraft came along. An
alteration between the two men resulted
and the latter was shot through the body,
the ball entering Just below the heart. He

DoDdE CITY, Kans.. May 29.-The execu-
tive committee Of the Western Kansas Cat
tie Grower association were in session at
this place to-day and as result of their
meeting definite action was taken In regard
to the drive Of southern Texas cattle into
that portion Of the neutral strip or''no mans
land" 20 largely occupied by members OF
the association, and who have SO
jealously guarded their local interest
ever since the threatened invasion
OF southern Texas stock over that portion
Of the territory not reached by the Kansas
quarantine law passed at the last session Of
| tho state legislature. At the late stockmen's
convention held at Dallas, Texas, q commit
tee of conference was appointed, composed
of prominent drovers and like number Of
north Texas ranchmen. who were to agree
upon route over which the southern cattle
might pass without hindrance or delay
What this committee has done aside from
mapping out trail remains yet to be seen,
In the meantime the members Of the West
ern Kansas Cattle Growers association COM
mittee have in measure endorsed the major
portion of said trail, SO named, with certain
restrictions as to latitude embraced, and pro-
pose to at once fully define the route to be
traversed by southern cattle by having a
iuIEoW vi bIc uoEtil VI Outcf VI suCi
trail, and have appointed NJ. S. Culver, Of
Dodge City, Kas., as their agent, who il
fully authorized and empowered to direct
through herds from n point
| in Texas on the old Dodge
rail through and along the north line of
the state of Texas to the southern line Of
California, their objective point. Bridges
will be constructed at once for the passage
of cattle across the through trail at various
points along the route as they may be
needed, at which point the trail will be very
limited, not to exceed the width Of an ordi-
nary highway, which bridge or crossing is
to be fenced on each sice of said trail OF
crossing. A southern boundary line fence
is also proposed and may at once be put up
which, if done, will make trail of upwards Of
| fifteen miles in width and leave all the range
stock north of said trail. This measure il
fully carried out, which it is almost sure
that it will be, will give the protection asked
for by local stockmen and the through
drover if he will keep on the route defined
will also be enabled to pass through, which
in juctice he ought to be allowed 10 do and
thus receive the aid and assistance of hi:
northern neighbors, all of which will at
once settle what was at first feared would
lead to clash of arms between these seem
ingly conflicting interests, now so amicably
adjusted

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, June 3.-Sam
Lang, an aged Chinaman, called at Love:
saloon at o'clock yesterday evening and
had glass of beer and refused to pay for it
on the ground that Loves son owed him for
laundry work. An alteration ensued and
the Chinamsn was pushed out. He turned
and broke vile compound in Allie Loves
face. He was taken sick in less than two
minutes with commissions. A canvasser OF
rubber stamps happened in, saw the trouble
and at once procured an antidote, which I'M
dOubtedly saved the life of the young man,
though he is still very weak and the pupils
of his eyes are extended in size. Two doc
tors were called and said they would not
have known what antidote to have given.
Lang will be arrested on the charge of as
sault with attempt to kill. The fumes made
every one in the room sick. The compost
ton is poison known only to Chinese and

Crop Cuttings.

PAoLA, kas., June 3.-There is great
Misunderstanding as to the actual condition
Of the crops in eastern Kansas and western
Missouri, and all over Kansas for that mat
ter. In this county Of Miami wheat Is abso-
lutely total failure and to-day / am in
formed by three large farmers that they
had turned cattle in their wheat fields which
two weeks ago were expected to yield fifteen
bushels per acre. Others have been plowed
up for corn: II is found to be all chess.
From our neighboring counties of Cass, in
Missouri, the same reports come. Linn,
Franklyn and johnson counties in Kansas
are no better, and from the large wheat
counties of Sedgwick, MCPHERSON, Sumner
and Dickinson, these facts are cleaned:
The stand is thin, small and yellow,
the acreage one-third less than last year.
The fly is at work in those fields which have
not been turned to chess and not half crop
is expected. The secretary Of our state
board will, on Friday, issue q synopsis for
the associated press showing a decrease OF
30 per cent in the wheat condition since the
April report. Corn prospects are not
bright. Much of the seed has rotted in the
ground, and many of the fields have al
ready been plowed up, and many more will
have to be replanted, The season is late
and there is yet no corn in Kansas present
ing fair stand.
Topeka, June 1.-The secretary of the
state board of agriculture will give out no
information as to the bushels of the wheat
crop although he has his report ready for
the printer. From private sources learn
that the Hessian fly and chintz bugs are
making sad havoc and it is not believed now
that we shall base a net harvest Of over l5,-
100000 to 20,0OO,OOO bushels of that crop.
ST. LOUIS, June 3.-In reply to an inaui-
ry regarding the alleged ravages of the Hes
sian fly in Missouri, Mr.. j. w. Sanborn,
secretary of the state board Of agriculture,
furnishes the associated press with the fol-
lowing statement: Hundreds of reports
haye come to me within the past few days
and are now coming in, but only two cor
respondents, one each for St. Louis and st.
Charles counties, mention the Hessian fly.
If there are any ravages they must be of a
later date than mail reports Only a few
cases of grasshoppers or of locusts are
named, and / do not think the insects are
very troublesome.
CINcINNATI, June 3.-The Cincinnati
Price Current of tomorrow will publish the
result of special Investigations in regard to
winter and spring wheat crops, the corn
area and condition, and the June supply of
hogs. 1t places the outlook for wheat at
$4,000 600 bushels for winter production
and 150,OO0,OO0 for spring, making the total
las, 1000 900 less than the amount harvested
last year. The corn area in the western
states. representing over Il per cent of the
production last year, averages per cent in
crease over last year. The condition is
generally favorable though somewhat back
ward. as rule the poorest outlook being
in Kansas and Nebraska.

The HesSjan Flv.

Topeka, June 3.-There is now no doubt
the Hessian fly is doing much damage and
the surplus wheat of Kansas will dwindl,
down to small proportions. Fields which
five weeks ago promised one-half to three
fourths of a crop are ruined and will be
turned over and millet put in. The fly i;
not confined to any one section and if OBJ
servable more in one place than another that
place is within the great wheat district
where there is more wheat for the insect to
thrive on. Before the ravages of the insect
became SO bad, some conception of the
wheat crop could be formed, now no one
can form an estimate and all guesses are
wild ones. In the great wheat valley OF
Kansas gypsum, in Salina county, where
wheat never fails, entire fields are being
plowed and millet sown. This is repeated
in all parts of the state

Chicago Gram and Produce.

| CHICAGO, June J, 1885.
Considerable life was injected into the grain
markets to-day. the excitement running high
at times, particularly in the middle of the ses-
sion. Wheat ruled stronger and higher, the
fluctuations were wide and rapid and the nerv-
| business was attributed in a large part to the
outcome of the crop situation. The market
rose lie upon reports of ravages by the Hes
sian fly in the southwestern fields which was
deemed a strong advance in view of the recent
depression shown by the market and 1t was
ascribed to the action of large number of
bears who were sent into a panic by the news
and impeIled into covering their short sales.
More outside orders are reported however, as
coming from people who entertain the belief
that the crop outlook is a particularly gloomy
one and that a short crop means higher prices
than have PREVAILED during the present crop
year. The cables continue to quote dull and
weak markets, though public adyices were in
dicative of a little steadier feeling abroad
There was very little demand at the opening
and under pretty fair offerings prices declined

sprang up and with a higher and advancing
market at st. Louis prices improved Ike. The
bad crop news engendered the first evidences
of bull feeling shown for some time. A de-
