Mccoy and O,Brien Will Fight
Tomorrow.

Dick O'Brien thinks he is going to give
the public a big surprise tomorrow night
at the Palace Athletic Club show. He
says that he will beat kid" Mccoy in
less than twenty rounds and they are
billed to box twenty-five rounds. O'Brien
and his friends claim that he had Mccoy
all but out twice in the twenty-five round
draw they fought in Boston two years
ago, and they say if O'Brien lands once
or twice on the Kid he will forget his
cleverness. The men are to fight at
catch weights. This is in O'Brien's favor.
1t is rumored that he was given a tip
that a match with Mccoy was probable
after Creedon went to Europe and he
has been preparing himself quietly for a
month past and the public will see him at
his best tomorrow night. O'Brien had
Creedon all but out at the Broadway
Club a few months ago, and he was in
bad hap and no one can deny the fact
that O'Brien is a wicked, nervy fighter.
quick to a advantage of anofher's
weakness, and he hits like a trip ham
mer. Mccoy evidently does not under
rate OBrien's chances, as he has been at
Asbury Park nearly three weeks prepar-
ing. Tom Lansing, who is training with
Tom Sharkey, has been substituted for
sick to train for his preliminary bout with
Pat Doggett. Lansing is a hitter. He
stopped a big fellow at the Arena Club
recently in 40 seconds. Mike Sears and
Jack O'Brien will furnish the other pre-
lminary.

Earl Kiser clearly demonstrated at Man
haitian Beach on Saturday last that he is
without doubt the fastest professional
cyclist in the ranks today, as his victory
over Bald proves. Kiser is now a mem
Der of the Spaiding racing team, and with
Manager Eek and his team-mafe. A. c.
Mertens, he left last evening by the Fall
River boat for Boston. Mass. They will
make their appearance there on Decora-
ton Day. They will then journey to
Philadelphia and race there on the 5th,
and start on the national circuit and fol-
low it until the end of the season. Tom
Eek is in great glee over Kiser's victory,
and much of Kiser's success can be at
tributed to the way he handles his men.
At first Eek was a little afraid of sending
Kiser against Bald so early in the season,
but after the wonderful showing made BY
Kiser and Mertens in their preliminary
training at Hot Springs and Cincinnati he
decided to start in as soon as possible and
gain all the laurels he possibly could.
Those at Manhattan Beach last Saturday
appreciated the wisdom of Eck's move
ments.

WHEAT OUTLOOK.
Opinions from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois.
 Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas.
KANSAS SHOWS UP THE BEST
The Prospective Yield in the sunflower State Likely to Be Greater Than in 1896 Missouri Not Partlcu-
 iarly Bad or Promising.

CmcAGo, March 2s.-The Tribune publishes a summary of opinions bv wire from the various counties of ohio. lndiana, the southern two-thirels of Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Kan- sas. These six states, according to tho government figures, produced one-half or last winters wheat crop. Figured for the entire field the predictions of nearly half the correspondents are foy crop as large or larger Chan that of last year. Twenty per cent of the re- ports claim that the yield will be half ot last years crop or even less, many of the reports in Illinois practically suggested partial crop failure. By lar the worst showing is made by Hi nois. Over so per cent. Of the cor respondents reporting say that the out look is poor, none reported good and only about l6 per cent admit that it is any way promising.
 The showing in Ohio is much more favorable. The damage by floods is referred to frequently and occasionally q statement of damage by Hessian fly last fall is made. The great majority ot the correspondents say that the yield will be much greater than that of i596 and one-third claim d full average crop. As might be expected the showing of Indiana is fair aver age between Illinois and Ohio. The two-thirds of the Indiana dispatches say that the crop will be as much or more than last year.
 Of the Kentucky dispatches about two-thirds of the correspondents pre- dict greater yield than that of 1896, and there are no reports suggesting anything like crop failure.
 In Missouri the reports summarized do not color the situation as being either bad or particularly promising. The summarized report is rather on the fence. There are great many claims, however, of yields of q half crop or less.
 The Kansas showing is the best Of any oi the states covered. Two-thireis of the dispatches state that the outlook is excellent and the prospective yield greater than for iS06. There arc few reports claiming total failure and a few claiming Il yield barely equal to that of last year.
 In Texas and Tennessee, where the season is further advanced, the grow ing crop promises we'll. Growth and stand is good. There is an abundance of moisture for present needsand while there are local exceptions where the promise is less satisfactory, the state average of yield will be moderately high. The winter on the Pacific coast has been exceptionally favorable. the acreage largely increased and the present prospect leaves little to be desired.

MURDER MOST FOUL.
Terrible Quintuple Tragedy Enacted Near
 Orrlclz Mo. by Eee Rainuater.

1errAoie Quintupie Tragedy Enacted Near
 OrriclS Mo, by Bee Rainwater.
 RICHMOND, Mo, March 23.-A terri ole tragedy was enacted Saturday evening near the little village of Or rick in Ray county, Mo. Bee Rain water, farmer of morose and jealous disposition, cruelty murdered his wife, his mother-in-law, one of his wife's children by a former marriage and a step-brother and then made good end ing of his awful work by blowing out his own brains.
 The Rainwaters and the Artmans live within quarter of mile of each other near the bank Of the Missouri river, about three miles south of Or rick. Last week Mrs. Artman became ill and sent for her daughter, Mrs Rainwater, to come and stay with her. Saturday night Rainwater went over from his place to the Artman house to visit his wife and children. Rainwater was annoyed by some dogs barking in the orchard and said to Thurman: Johnny, let's kill those dogs"
 Thurman took a shotgun and Rain water revolver and they left the house. When they had gone about 50 yards Rainwater, without having said word, stepped behind Thurman and placing the revolver to his head sent a bullet crashing through his brain. Maddened by this first taste of blood, Rainwater hurried back to the house where his unsuspecting victims were all in bed Rainwater brought back with him the gun young Thurman had taken out and with it and revolver he mercilessly killed his wife and his mother, and Fanny Gentry, his step daughter For some unaccountable reason he spared Mir. Artman and the younger Artman girl. Walking into the front room of the house the murderer coolly reloaded both barrels of his gun and went out in- to the orchard again. Here he met Thurman, still alive, and crawling to- ward the house. He fired two more shots into Thurman's brain, and then going few feet further, he leaned leaned against the fence of the orchard and, placing the muzzle of the gun against his head, blew out his own brains.
 Rainwater and his wife did not live happily together, and during their married life frequent separations had taken place. The murderer was a man of peculiar temperament and of few words. He did not get along we'll with his neighbors, and to many of them, with whom he had quarreled, he had not spoken for years.

 KANSAS CITY, Mo, March 23-The question as to whether or not hus- band is liable for islanders uttered by his wife without his llno4vledge or con sent was appealed to the Kansas City court of appeals for settlement, but that tribunal could not agree in the matter and referred it to the supreme court of the state. The question arose in the suit of Amanda c. Taylor against Gilbert Pullen and his wife. Rebecea. Pullen is a farmer in Holt county and Amanda Taylor was q domestic in his home. Mrs. Pullen. it is claimed, talked scandalously about Miss Taylor, and she sued Mir. Pullen for damages. The trial caused quite sensation in Holt county. The court of that county held that although Mir Pullen did not know of his wife's al- legged slanderous utterances, he was liable for them, because she was his wife, and judgment was rendered against him. He appealed to the Kan sas City court of appeals, with the re- suit above noted.

The Dingiey Tariff BnI's Provisions stirs Up the Hostility of Exportcrs-A Block Destroyed and Woman Miss

CHICAGO, March 23. "A boycott against beer made by the Chicago Brewers association has been declared by the Chicago Federation of Labor, to take effect April 1. Union men who wish to drink beer will be expected to buy the product of Milwaukee or St. Louis breweries and to refuse to patronize any saloon supplied by any of the 70 members of the brewers com bine. The grievances of Coop CTS union No. l against the local brewers precipitated the action of the federation. John Me Pherson, the delegate from the coopers, who was present at the meeting, ex- plained to the federation that the coopers had vainly tried for year to induce the brewers to use barrels and kegs made by the union worlmen, and now asked that decisive measures be taken at once to force the manufac- turers to comply or to place their pro duct under the ban of united labor
 Canada Wiil Retaiiate.
 MONTREAL, One, March 23 Since the provisions of the Dingley tariff bill were announced they have been considerably canvassed here and the concensus of opinion seems to be that the measure is hostile to the interests of Canada. The lumber trade has been mostly to the front and there has been a general demand for an ex- port duty on saw logs and all kinds of pulp wood. The indications are that the government will accede to this de- nand, and that the forthcoming revi- sion of the tariff will not be so much in the line of lower duties as was promised before the elections Alder man Prefontaine, M F., who has just returned from conference with the ministers at Ottawa, has intimated pretty plainly that this will be the case and that retaliatory duties will be imposed against the United States all along the line.
