The Winter Wheat Crop.

TOLEDO, O.. June ls.-C. A. King & Co., dur
ing the past three days, have received 1.600 re-
ports from grain dealers and mIllers, covering
almost every important wheat county in the six
principal winter wheat States Prospects are
very favorable, except in Kansas and Michigan
Missouri has excellent prospects, Illinois nearly
good, while Indiana and Ohio are almost as
favorable Michigan has fair prospect but
the outlook in Kansas is poor. Michigan reports
the present prospects about the same as June l,
when the Agricultural Bureau report was gath
cred. The other States all show a material i'm
provement during the past two weeks, being
greatest in Missouri and Illinois Harvest Is in
full blast in Kansas and Missouri. Next week
it will be general in most of Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio but not in the northern sections until
the last of June, and in Michigan the first part
of July. Harvest will average nearly two weeks
earlier than last year Nearly two-thirds of the
reports say farmers will be disposed to sell freely
Immediately after the threshna Even Michigan
reports that over half will sell. Many wall be
compelled to, owing to the crop failure of last
year. while others say that farmers are disposed
to accept the situation, as those who sold early
the past two seasons have done best

MURDERED BY A LUNATIC.
The Manager of the st. Joseph Herald Shot
Dead in His Office by Dr. S. A. Richmond.

ST. JOSEPH. No., June 1S-At III o'clock this
morning, while Col ]. w. Strong, manager of
the Herald was sitting in the counting room.
with his back to the door, DR.. S. A. Richmond
entered, and, drawing revolver fred one shot,
which struck Strong in the left side of the neck
Colonel Strong jumped up and staggered to-
wards the back Office. Richmond fred two more
Shots and Strong FELL Richmond then turned
outside, and going some twenty feet from the
door, placed the revolver to his temple and fred,
dropping instantly to the sidewalk. At the time
of the shooting, Colonel Strong was engaged in
conversation with some unknown man, and WAS
totally unconscious of the approach of an enemy
until he was struck by the bullet Richmond
drove up to the front Of the Office in his carriage.
He is said to have alighted coolly and walked to
the Herald Office door without exhibiting any
signs of excitement. When he came back. after
shooting Colonel Strong, he found the carriage
had been driven away and it was then that he
shot himself. Colonel Strong fell, struck by
two bulets, one of which, as stated, struck him
In the neck, ranging upward into the brain.
The other struck in his back, and is believed to
have penetrated his heart He died five min
utes after the hrst shot was fired ieichmonds
bullet took effect in the left temple bat it is i'm
possible to tell whether it will prove fatal
not 1t is believed, however, that he will not
recover.
The trouble that has resulted so fatally is solely
OF Richmond's own making. He has long been
known tc the newspaper fraternity the dis
coverer and manufacturer of Samaritan
Nervine," and has been an extensive advertiser
and has had an enormous business in his nos
trum. Some five months ago he disappeared
from this community and left lot of papers,
evidently the work of either knave or hopeless
lunatic. He charged Colonel strong and other
prominent attorneys of this city with having
ruined him, and indicated that he had ended his
noN nnM in fhn win thnff lima Ninfnn
fered as to his condition. some regarding him
insane and others believing him simply working
ruse TO obtain $50, 100 insurance on his life.
Since then he had become hopslessly insane, the
deed of to-day proving his lunacy beyond
doubt Colonel Strong leaves a large family.
consisting of wife and three sons, the eldest of
whom is John P. Strong, edtori n-chief of the
Herald. The Colonel was sixty one years old, a
lawyer by profession and man who has been
very prominent in the Republican party of
northwest Missouri for nearly thirty years. His
home was originally in Jacksonville, Ill, where
he has large number of friends and relatives.

The eyes arc always in sympathy with
the body, and afford an excellent index
of its condition. When the eyes become
weak, and the lids infianed and sore, it
is an evidence that the system has

which Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best
known remedy.

fanmation in my eyes, caused me much
suffering for number of years. BY the
