Reference has been made lately to the
unpappy domestic relations of Senator
Fair, of Nevada, which eliminated in a
decree of divorce ana alimony for his
wife. The girl in the case, who seems
to have completely captivated the old
man with $l0,0O0,00O, is "Annie Car
penter," plump and handsome blonde,
about twenty-seven years Of age, with
crushed strawberry hair. Annie has a
history and so have her mother and her
aunt. She is the daughter of J. H.
Smith, who was the editor and proprie-
tor of the Peru Free Press about thirty
years ago. In 1856 Mrs. Smith left her
husband in Peru and accompanied Mr..
and Mrs. joint T. Stevens to California
or at least was passenger on the same
ship with them. Mrs. Smith went to the
home of her sister. Mrs. Shultz, also a
Peruvian, who was then living with her
husband and keeping hotel at Young's

Francisco. Very soon after her arrival

A General Review OF Cr0Ds.

September returns to the department of
agriculture indicate lower condition of
corn than IN August in every section OF
country and in nearly every state. The
only gains in the west are in Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska, where slight i'm
provenlent is indicated. Minnesota stands
as in August. Arkansas makes gain of
point and Georgia and Alabama stand as in
August, but all other cotton states show q
heavy decline. The figures are also much
reduced for each OF the Middle States. The
corn surplus states show changes as oil
Ohio, reduction from 80, to 81; Michigan,
68 to 60; Indiana, IS to IS; Illinois, Sc to 49,;
Iowa, IS to so. The increase in Missouri is
from 50 to "a; Kansas, 80 to 1O1; Nebraska,
81 to 81. The decline in New York is from
80 to u, and in Pennsylvania from 80 to 80.
The general average condition on the LIST
of September was 81. a decrease of points
during the last month. The cause Of this
reduction, so nearly universal, is drought,

An Advance INF Telegraph Rates.

Advices in Chicago on the 18th lust,
were received to the effect that the Western
Union Telegraph company had issued to
the local managers of lis Offices throughout
the country copies of a circular, making
provision for an advance of the rates on ali
special dispatches to newspap ers sent after
Oct. l. It was thought to be a move on
the part of the Western Union to get even
with the papers that took sides With the
strikers. In order to learn the facts in the
matter reporter called on Superintendent
ClOvry. Mr.. ClOWry said the rates ha not
been raised, and would not be, so far as he
knew, Oct. 1. There had been some min "
changes planned for Oct. 1 but the raising
OF rates on special dispatches to NEWSPAPERS
had not been considered.

An IMPERFECT RETURN. con-

the total of the census roll of Thurs
ton county for the present year, and
find that Notwithstanding there has
been large and steady increase OF
population for many months past the
aggregate of population is placed at
500 less than that of last year. The
exact number enumerated is 2, 7G4, at
least one-third less than what t. fig
ures would be on full count. There
might be as shadow of doubt that
this assertion is warranted, had not
the duties of Assessor likewise been
so imperfectly performed, as to ex-
cite universal remark. Tue roll was
not presented to the board of equal.
