WHEAT OUTLOOK.

Opinions from Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Ken
lucky, Missouri and Kansas.
CHICAGO, March 23.-The Tribune
publishes a summary of opinions by
wire from the various counties of Ohio,
Indiana, the southern two-thirds of
Illinois, kentucky, Missouri and Kan
Sas. These six states, according to the
government figures, produced one-half
of last winters wheat crop. Figured
for the entire field the predictions of
nearly half the correspondents are for
n crop as large or larger than that of
last year. Twenty per cent. of the re-
ports claim that the yield will be half
of last years crop or even less, many
of the reports in Illinois practically
suggested partial crop failure. BY
far the worst showing is made by Illi-
nois. Over so per cent. of the cor
respondents reporting say that the out
look is poor, none reported good and
only about 16 per cent. admit that it is
any way promising.
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 half
crop or less.
The Kansas showing is the best of
any of the states covered. Two-thirds
of the dispatches state that the outlook
is excellent and the prospective yield
greater than for 1896. There are few
reports claiming total failure and n
few claiming u yield barely equal to
that of Inst wear.

To His Excellency, the President Of the United
States:
Honored Ruler: AS an onicial representative
of the 800. 900 members OF the Women's Chris

earnestly entreat you to call upon congress to
prohibit in the District OF Columbia and
throughout the various territories the repro
duction by means OF the kaleidoscope or kindred
instruments of the Corbett-FitzSlmmons fight
or of any like exhibition at any future time.
We believe that in making this request we
are seeking the best welfare OF the citizens,
especially the youth of our land. who would be
brutalized by such lifelike representations OF
these degrading spectacles. We learn that pre-
parations upon the largest scale are being
made for invading not alone our gre at cities,
but every village and hamlet. with this spectac-
ular performances; that bad as was the in
fuence of the fight upon the comparative few
who witnessed it in person, it would be inf
nitely worse because SO much more far-reach-
ing IL thus produced.
We are making like request of the chief
officiaIs and legislatures OF the various states
and have strong hope that in the majority OF
them the necessary legislation may result We
are glad to feel assured at the outset that your
personal sympathy must be with and that
your official sanction will be given to this re-
quest so clearly in the interest OF morality.
Sincerely and respectfully yours.-Frances f.

tion of corn and other products II the farmers
enter on this policy of diversifcation they will
reduce these Improbable big areas and prod

would be much more money for the farmers.
The president will make the agricultural in

his administration and he will see that IL Is
properly protected and fostered. Whatever
our views are we will not combat congress
The discovery OF new and rare seeds will be
couraged and their efficacy tried in various eli

DEATH In IT'S PATH.
Terrible Devastation Mlde by a
Cyclone in the South.
Georgia and Alabama Visited by an Awful
Storm-Twenty School Children Killed
at Arlington, Ga.-FamiIy of
Eight Drowned.

EUFALA, Ala. March 23.-This city
was swept by n cyclone yesterday
morning, in which death and disaster
played a dreadful part. Hourly the
record becomes more appalling. Men
were almost caught up from the
streets before they could find shelter.
Shutters, roofs, etc. gave way and for
two hours thers was terror and desc
lation, when the cyclone passed off to
the northwest. coursing along the
Chattahoochie valley.
The reports soon coming in told of
the terrible devastation. The. town of
Blakcley, in Georgia. was almost
lifted out of existence, and people
seeking refuge indoors We're as badly
knocked around by cracking and fall
ing timbers as were those on the out
side, who were unable to dodge fence
rails and other flying missiles. The
most shocking story of all, however,
was that which came from Arlington,
Early county. Ga. An awful cyclone
swept down upon this place and ac-
compliShed work of horror that has
never been paralleled in this section of
the country. The bodies of eight chill
dren have been taken from the ruins
of the Arlington academy, and about
dozen others will die. Thirty-five
children and two teachers went down
in the wreck of the building, and the
work of removing the dead and injured
is not yet completed. The Arlington
academy, a fine structure, lay directly
in the path of the storm. 1t was
knocked into great heap, and the
work of death was done even before
the danger was realized. The structure
was smashed into kindling wood and
the broken timbers and dead bodies
mixed together in sicLening con-
fusion. The two teachers, Profs.
Covington and Walker, were re-
moved from the ruins and
they were terribly injured. Walker,
it is thought, will die. People have
not recovered from the awful horror of
the disaster. Nearly every home in
the community has been blighted by
the storms cruel work.

MURDER MOST FOUL.
Terrible Quintuple Tragedy Enacted NeaI
OrrIck. Mo-, by Bee RaInwater.

Terrible Quintuple Tragedy Enacted Near
Orrick. Mo-, by Bee Rainwater.
RICHMOND, Mo-, March 23.-A terri
BILE tragedy was enacted Saturday
evening near the little village of Or
rick in Ray county, Mo. Bee Rain
water, a 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 q
step-brother and then made a good end
ing of his awful work by blowing out
his own brains.
The Rainwaters and the Artmans
live within quarter of a mile of each
other near the bank of the Missouri
river, about three miles south of Or
rick. Last week Mrs. Artman became
i'll 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 u shotgun and Rain
water a revolver and they left the
house. When they had gone about so
yards Rainwater, without having said
a word, stepped behind Thurman and
placing the revolver to his head sent q.
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 Mr.. 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 n 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
man of peculiar temperament and of
few words. lie did not get along well
with his uoighbors, and to many of
them, with whom he had quarreled, he
had not spoken for years.
