Tom CoRwIN AND Mrs. SHANNON
st. Clairsville people tell an amusing
story of the late Mrs. Shannon, widow
of Ex-Governor Wilson Shannon, who
died last week at Leayenworth, Kansas
In 1910 Gov. Shannon was candidate
for reelection as Governor of Ohio on the
Democratic ticket, his opponent on the
Wing side being the famous Thomas
Corwin, who was successful in the can
vass, and became Governor, though
| ;,,Iausiuu was again cnoseu at the bIen-
NAL election in lS42. During the can
vass of 1910 Mr.. Corwin was announced
to speak at st. Clairsville, where Cover.
nor Shannon resided. Possibly there
was to be joint discussion between the
two candidates-at any rate the meeting
was looked forward to with absorbing
interest, and Mrs. Shannon, who was Wis
ltlng friends in this city, took the morn
ing stage to go out home on the day of
the occurrence. There were in the stare
quite number OF st. Clairsville ladies.
and man, apparently very dark mulat
to, who seemed to be of retiring dispo-
sition, and occupied corner as remote
from his fellow passengers as possible.
Arriving at watering station, near the
foot of the "Big Hill," Mrs. Shannon.
who was accompanied by babe in arms.
desired to procure some milk for the
child, and requested the dark man in the
corner to hold the infant for her. Upon
returning with the milk, having fed the
baby, and the stage being again in mo-
ton, the babe was once more consigned
to the care of the ''mulatto," and the
ladies proceeded to discuss the great
event of the day.
When the stage arrived at the hotel at
st. Clairsville, the nurse deferentially ip-
formed Mrs. S. that he was at the end of
his journey, and transferred his charge
to her care, not, however, until she had
rendered him quarter in payment of his
services, which was, much to her surprise
declined with much dignity, though very
withal.
The sequel transpired in the afternoon.
What was Mrs. Shannon s surprise, upon
reaching the grove in which the meeting
was to be held. to see her mulatto nurse
OF the morning occupying seat of honor
upon the platform; surprise scarcely in
creased when the dark gentleman arose
and was introduced by prominent local |
politicion as Thomas CoTwin, the xext |
Governor of Ohio" The great orator
was introduced TO the wife of his oppo- |
nent later in the day and enjoyed her
over the affair hugely.
but Mrs. Shannon never quite recovered
rom the modification she felt when she
discovered what mistake she had made

CENSUS FACTS.

Twot thirds of the population of th
United States is in the old free states.
The eastern states New England an6
nddle) include little less than two
sevenths of the population, the western
states and territories little more than
two sevenths, the southern states and ter
ritories. taking in New Mexico, It'll,
more than one third, and the Pacific
coast about one fortieth. As between
regions the South has increased more
rapidly than the North, the West thar
the East, the Southwest, along the Gulf,
than the Northwest, along the Pacific.
On the Atlantic sea board the largest in
crease Is on the South, on the Pacifi,
board at the north; in the Mississippi
valley the new growth rs evenly distribut.
ed. and on the broad western slope of the
great valley it is greatest of all in Nebras-
ka and Kansas, New England loses most
relatively, the Pacific coast gains most,
and the largest actual increase is among
the states and territorie' grouped on and
about the upper half of the Mississippi
valley. At the South the negro is in
creasing more rapidly than the white
man, and, generally speaking, the great,
er the negro population, the greater its
growth since 1870 and the stronger the
signs that this growth is permanent and
increasing. All the states gain little;
Vermont the least of all, Colorado most
of all; the one growing / per cent, the
other 312 per cent. Utah, Dakota,
Washington, Idaho and New Mexico ter
ritories each have a larger population
than the smallest of the states, Nevada
OF all the states and territories the only
two which show asdecrease are Montana
and Arizona. The United States has GA
cities of over 10000 inhabitants, with a
total population of s, ,234, 030; no country
in Europe of the same size has half as
many. Only IA of these cities are in the
South and only 10 are within the lines of
the confederacy. Nearly one-half the
city population is in the New England

Oh, no, bloss your soul, but [ only

Condition of the President.

The prediction of the surgeons that President
Garfields course toward health would be
marked by succession of crises, was verified
on the night of the 22d inst. when their illus
trious patient developed certain serious and
ominous symptoms. He was seized with a
severe chill which lasted some time, and his
muscles became rigid with what the surgeons
ward to 100 and his temperature to 101. The
flow of pus from the wound ceased, and this
with the other symptoms led the physicians to
fear that ryamia or blood-poisoning was about
to ensue. consultation was held at which it
was decided to summon DIR. Hamilton, of New
York, and Agnew, of Philadelphia, which was
accordingly done by telegraph, and these
distinguished consulting surgeons reached the
sick room in the evening, having Travelled on O.
special train. On Sunday Ohe 24th) the several
physicians held lengthy conference, at which
it was decided to make an incision in the Presi-
dents back about three inches below the wound
for the purpose of facilitating the flow of mat
ter. The operation was successfully performed
the patient undergoing the cutting process with
out tlinching. drainage tube Wa inserted in
the new opening, and the pus cavity relieved of
its accumulation of matter, after which the
President began to improve, and the physicians
are almost confident that their patient has sue
cessfuly passed one serious point.
Bulletins early on the morning of the 25th
inst. represent the President as resting quietly,
with no recurrence of bad symptoms
The President was aware of the serious phase
of his condition, but did not exhibit any great
degree of depression. He was forbidden to
talk and much of the time lay in partial
stupor. His family were naturally overwhelmed
with anxiety and distress at the sudden and
serious change of affairs.

ifampant Elements.

New Ulm, Minnesota, and neighborhood was
the scene of one of those terrible atmosphere
cal commissions termed cyclones, on the 18th.
which in the twinkling of an eye converted
order into chaos and dealt out death and de-
struction to everything in its track. In the
village of new Ulm there is not building but
what is more or less damaged, while many Of
the finest structures are complete wrecks. Four
persons were killed and many wounded. 1t
can be safely said that S250,000 to $500, 900
will not put the town back to where it was be-
fore the awful calamity. At Cairo. RenviIe
county, four and one-half miles northwest,
four persons were killed and at West Newton
five bodies were found. There were many
wounded ones at this point also. Crops in the
path of the destroyer were ruined beyond re-
dempton.
Ldter-As reports from the country around
New Ulm come In the list of dead is yelled I'M
I'll now it reaches thirty-two in the town and
vicinity. The dead have been buried, the
wounded are being cared for, and the work of
rebuilding the city is being actively pressed
Subscriptions are being poured in from all over
the country,
