REMARKABLK TRAGEDY.

la East St. Lroula~h*loon K**p«r Kill* Business Rival ud Shoots Himsalf While His Wife and CKUd, on Their notified Knee*, Beg Him to DeslHt.

ST. LOUU, July 34.—A murder and suicide with some remarkable features occurred in East St. Louis Thursday. George Anderson, a well-known sport and 8c.loon keeper, shot three times and killed Thomas Ryan, the koeper of an adjoining saloon. Joalouay of Ryan's more prosperous establishment led to the crime, Anderson loaded up with fifteen drinks of bad whisky, entered Ryan's saloon, drew a 44-cnliber Colts' revolver and began to shoot. One bullet took effect over the heart and Ryan fell dead. The murderer then walked into Ills own saloon, put the revolver to his head and fired, but on account of nervousness the bullet entered the cheek, ranged upward and lodged under' the right eye. Then followed a strange spectacle. With the blood flowing from the wound Anderson, who was a man of iron nerve, went behind the counter, threw out the four old shells, and put four new cartridges in the revolver. He fired one shot into the floor to see if the cartridges were all right and theu came from behind tho counter and sat down in a chair. His wife on bended knees in a pool of blood begged him not to take his life, and while he sat stern and resolute, asking his wife not to interfere with him, a beautiful little girl—his daughter—also knelt by his side and with childish pleadings intermingled with sobs implored her father not to kill himself. Without uttering a word Anderson held the revolver to the right of the left nipple and firod, falling back on the floor a dead man, •hot through the heart.

TO CORNER WHEAT.

•llianoe Farmere Engasred la Forming- a Big Grain Trust.

TRYING TO CREATE HIGHER PRICES.

The Headquarters of tho Movement Are in St. Taut, Minn.—National Officers Deny Taking Any Tart In the Plan.

AN IMI'OHT.VNT CIRCULAR. PATL, Minn., July 24.—St. has been made the lieadquarof a national movement by United States Farmers' Allito corner the entire wheat crop of the United States. At 817 Wabasha street for several days a large force of employes has been engaged in sending out circulars with a view not only of having the alliance men of the United States but all classes of farmers keep back their wheat crop until the bears have all been killed off and prices have been advanced to a high point. other words, the alliance press buieau and state press bureau are working together, endeavoring to unite the farmers of tho United States in a gigantic wheat trust, in which the producers shall be the stockholders, and by which the speculators and wheat buyers will be squeezed to the wall.

ST.

Paul ters the ance

At the head of the movement is George M. Muller, editor of the State and a prominent alliance man. The circular, which recites the benefits of combination and urges the formation of the "trust," estimates the wheat crop of '01 in the United States at 500,000,000 bushels. The promoters of the farmers' wheat trust believe that four-fifths of this wheat can be held back by the farmers for four to eight weeks, by which time it is thought that prices will have gone skyward. Lists bearing the names of secretaries of every alliance in the United States are now in the hands of Mr. Muller, and the circular has been sent to the alliances of all the eastern wheat growing states.

President Ignatius Donnelly, of the Minnesota alliance, has issued a circular to the members of the Farmers' Alliance of Minnesota in which he disclaims any connection with the Mueller move for withholding part of the wheat crop to raise prices. By covert allusions to Pillsbury, \vheat ring deals, etc., he casts cold water on the movement and leaves the inference that it is unauthorized, at the same time expressing his sympathy with any move to raise the price of wheat.

WASHINGTON, July 24.—The statement is again made that a huge corner 011 wheat is being manipulated by the Farmers' Alliance. The national officers assert that the}' have no part ib the plan, as it is a subject wholly with in the local alliance bodies. It is undoubtedly true, however, that the "reform press bureau," which is a sort of adjunct to the alliance, is sending out circulars concerning the wheat crop The circular closes thus: •'No crops that can be raised this year can change the (net that the world's supply Is immensely below the requirements. The American (armor is intelligent enough to know that whoever mnrkets his production late in a year like this receives the best prices and there is really no danger that many will show enough sympathy with the epeculttlor to come to his rescue

Mr. II. XV. Aycr, secretary to President Polk of the Farmers' Alliance and manager in this city of the "refrmo press bureau," which is also known as the "alliance press bureau," said that the work of sending out circulars de' signed to show the farmers of the country that it was to their advantage to hold back the wheat crop was actively proceeding in this city as well as In St. Paul, Minn., which was chosen as one of the seats of operations because of its location in the great wheat belt. Mr. Ayer said that there have already been 400,000 of these circulars sent out from Washington, and that during the next few days an average of 100,000 a day will be mailed until more than a million circulars altogether are issued. The circular, he said, will also be published in about 2,000 weekly papers with which the bureau is connected.

Mr. Ayer said that the information that the issue of such a circular by alliance men was in contemplation became public prematurely about two weeks ago when a circular in course of preparation was published in a newspaper. A final decision to issue the ch-oular had not at that time been reached and many leading alliance men were unaware of it, but it had since been finally determined upon. He explained that the executive committee of the alliance had not acted on this matter and that by the circular no order was given to alliance men to hold bBck their crops, this being contrary to the methods of the alliance. What Is done by this circular is to give the farmers information as to facts in regard to the world's wheat crop, with the suggestion that wheat some weeks later than the present time will bring a higher price.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., July 24.—News of the|assassination of Rev. Mr. Williams, a Methodist clergyman, near Ileber, Ark., has been received He was shot from Ambush while riding along the country road.
