WHEAT, OATS AND CORN.
The Yield Of wheat and Oats In the United
States This Yesr-Corn Prospects

The Yield Of wheat and Oats In the United
States This Yesr-Corn Prospects,
New YoRK, Oct. s.--The American
Agriculturist in its issue Of this week
says:
Actual threshing returns from all
winter and spring wheat states show
the total wheat crop Of the United
States for 1896 to be 100000, OOO bush
els against AGO. OCO, 900 last year. The
present returns Of yleid per acre, as
reported by actual threshing results
from the entire wheat belt, is 12 bush
els winter and IL bushels spring.
According to final reports, the pa.
pers says, the oats crop Of 1896 is 7l7,-
250,O0O bushels against 9O4, 900, 900
bushels in 1895. The average yield
per acre Is 2a.6 bushels. The general
quality is perhaps the worst on record.
Not only is the grain extraordinarily
light, but heavy rains at and after
harvest greatly damaged It, and the
proportion Of merchantable oats will
be unusually small.
The paper further states that the
general condition Of corn October /,
was so.3, and hints that the crop will
finally measure but little II any under
two and half billion bushels.

AUTHOR OF "TRILBY."
Death of George Du Maurier, Artist and
Novelist.

ktONthtsts
LONDON, Oct s. s-George Du Maurier,
the artist and novelist, who became
famous as the author OF "Trilby,s died
at 2:30 o'clock this morning. Ills end
was painless and he passed away sur
rounded by friends.
The illness of Mr.. Du Maurier was
pathetic in the extreme. For days he
lowered between life and death, at in.
tervals conversing with his friends re-
garding his work.
Upon one occasion a friend at the
dying mans bedside referred TO the
success OF "Trilby" as book and as u
play, whereupon Du Maurier replied:
Yes, 1t has been successful, but the
popularity has killed me at last"
One of Du Maurier's friends who was
present at his death said: "Hc died
almost as tragically as Svengali At
the zenith of Trilby's fame Svengali
became victim of an affection OF the
heart, and Du Maurier has gone the
same way"
At the zenith of his popularity the
author has succumbed to the heart
trouble from which he always suffered.
His suffering was accentuated by the
constant succession of exciting Incl
dents in which the closing few months
of his life were spent. Checks rained
in upon him us his old heart trouble
increased. This, complicated by an
affection Of the lungs, took him of.

1t was rot expected that Lord Rose berry

The Star, in comments upon the

Lord Rosebery has resigned and Sir
William Harcourt reigns in his stead.
The liberal party will never again be

Lord Rosebery as his successor to the

COLD-B loOpED.
A Chicago Physician stabs His wife
Watches Her Die and Kills Iiimsei.

CHICAGO, Oct a-Dr. Carl +. Nitz, a
German physician, murdered his wife
and then killed himself Wednesday
afternoon. The murder OF the woman
was done in the most cold-blooded
manner. Nitz and his wife have for
some time lived unhappily because OF
her constant efforts to obtain posses
sion Of his property. This provoked
frequent quarrels between them, and,
during one of their rows, he tabled
her in the abdomen with surgical in
strument,
The wound was not Immediately
fatal and the doctor, sitting down by
her side, stabbed her again, this time
in manner which insured her death.
He then, as is proved by notes that
were found after his death, sat by the
woman's side watching her die slowly
and, now and then, to note the effect
of another wound, he would lab his
knife into her again.
When satisfied that she was dead be
deliberately committed suicide.

For the first time in the recent his
