The ELKINs MURDER MYsTERY.--Although
Govern or Larabee, of Iowa, has offered a
reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction
OF the murderer of John Elkins and wife, on
the night Of July IL, at their home near
Edgewood, no new clews have thus far been
obtained. Those most thoroughly conyer-
SAINT with the facts in the tragedy hold firm
ly to the opinion that Wesley, tho li-year.
old son, committed the deed without assis-
tance. He has not yet been seen to shed a
tear or display the least emotion over the
terrible affair. 1t has been thought best to
place him under arrest, and he II now
closely confined.

Inc maturing grain In the spring wheat
sections has progressed enough toward ma.
turity that II is p ssible to form something
Ike fair estimote of the yield. That It will
amount to more than was commonly fgur-
ed lew weeks ago there is Dot the least
doubt.
t',c greatest trouble is In arriving at ap-
proximations of acreage that are below av.
erage and abo @ average. 1t will be about
to offset the increase in acreage with the
amount plowed up and that not plowed up
that viii not be cut, leaving the acreage
about the same as last year. If Minnesota
gets 10 bushels, which many think not to
high, the total would be some 100000
bushels, and for both Dakotas eight bush
els may not be to high, or roundup of 35,-
100000 bushels making sO.OOQ0OO bushels
for both.
The last crop, while called 1900 600 total,
was more than 7O,0OocoO bush Is, perhaps
100000 bushels of all sorts. 1t is quite
generally conceded that the promise is for
some 100000 bushels more than year
ago, which concession, ifcorrect, would in
dicste 100000 to 100000 bushels this
year. Cuttings getting quite general in tho
South, and will be so in the next week. nj.
though great deal in the South is not ripe
enough now and much will not be in the
North next week. So far very little shrunk.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.
Hig friouda sav ssHa Eflled Him self


New York, March IL, 1ss9.-When the death
of a prominent broker was announced last
week, the sorrow of his friends was deep
ened by the knowledge that his death was
as much a suicide as though he had blown
his brains out with a revolver Intense ap-
plication to business made his fortune but
dug his grave at the same time. His sad
ending brings up thoughts of many who
have gone the wrong way. An interview
with leading physician developed the fact
that overwork and overworry, the American
characteristics, are hurting many men
down to destruction. Unconsciouslv
to themselves their nervousness, head
aches, sleeplessness and discomfort are
the warnings of the nervous system
that it has been worked too hard.
Insanity, sOftening of the brain, and the
grave stretch out their CHASTITY fingers and
are throttling their victims daily. English
writer's claim that Paine's celery compound
will really cure all of these nervous troub-
les. DR.. j. w. Small, 122 Park avenue,
| corresponding secretary of the New York
County Medical Association, whose opinion
| is most weighty, says this remedy 10 valu-
| BILE therapeutic agent, and he has used il
| with excellent success in nervous prostra-
| ton complicated with severe facial neural
| gia and insomnia. Such a commentator
as this, from "A man like DIR. Small, force
| into mems minds the conviction that Paine's
| celery compound is the remedy for the ner-
| vous diseases which threaten to fill our in
| sane asylums with those who now laugh at
! the suggestion thatthey are breaking down.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
Routine Business and New Committee of
Conference as to the Board of Health.

At the meeting of the Board of Aldermen,
last night, the ordinance for the twelve
inch-pipe sewer on Pratt street, from Della
ware street to the east line of Alabama
street, was reconsidered and stricken from
the files. The resolution from the Council,
relating to the Improvement of Garfield
Park by setting out shade trees and the
making of walks and drives, was concurred
in. The council resolution calling for
contract for 500 vapor street-lamps,
was not concurred in. The COM
mittee on public light reported
directing the immediate discontinuance of
400 street gas lamps. mere CT less, in the
district lighted By electricity; adopted
The report of the committee was adopted
recommending the adoption OF the Council
resolution directing the water company to
lay mains in Morris street from Meridian
street to Madison avenue, aud from Morris
street southwark in Union street to Hill
street; also. to extend mai1ls on Union
street from the present terminus to Phpps
street, and to locate firt bydraDts.
Some time since tho Board passed an ordi-
nance from the Council reOl ganizing the
board of health. Tho ordinance named not
three health officers, Z. E. Hedden for
clerk in the board Office; John. r. Folse,
meat inspector, and Leonard Crane, SAM
tary officer. When the ordinance was
reached by the Board that body amended
it by striking out the names of these three
officers. This action was certified to the
Council and that body adhered to its for
mer action. A committee of conference
was appointed, and this committee report
ed asking the Board to recede from its
amendment The report was not adopted
and the entire matter was referred to a new
conference committee consisting on the
part of the board of Messrs. Tousey, Rail
and Taylor. There appears to be consider
able feeling in the matter as the naming of
these officers. in the opinion of some of the
the members of the Board of Health.
An ordinance for threc-fOot sewer on
Agnes street was passed. and one to i'm
prove Michigan street and sidewalks, from
Meridian to Pennsylvania street. The
board then adjourned.
