The Congressional Bathrooms

The coolest place IS down in the bath
rooms in The low st basement of the
Capitol, says a Washington letter to
the Philadelphia Telegraph. Both the
Senate and the House are provi led with
the most perfect bathing facilities. The
bathrooms arc well patronized. The
tubs are spacious, and of cool, white
marble. There are attendants to pr,-
pare the baths and to rub the statesmen
down on to wipe them of, if they de-
sire it. Scented soaps, bay rum and
cooling toilet waters are at their con-
iaand. They can get In tub Of cold
wltsr and soak for al hour if they de-
size. They can even hav, ic, in the
water if thy desire it. They hlv> the

or the stockyards.
Parties are negotiating for ground short dis

to lay out in lots and grade and gravel the
streets.
Lots in Hauehvil'c Traubsvil1e and the
south of the Vandalia tracks are selling at an
advance of so per cent over prices which pre-
vailed one year ago.

An impression is out says OF the real

numerous houses going up at Haughvile and
south OF the Vandalis tracks built with
money borrowed from the building and loan as

are built through such means. but more are

DAMAGE TO THE WHEAT.
A Prediction that the Yield This Year viii
Fall Much Below the Average.

A Representatives, the Chicago Board Of
Trade, who claims 10 have made extensive in
quiries as to the prospects of the wheat crop in
this State, has written Secretary Heron. Of the
State Board Of Agriculture, stating that the
crop in the southern portion of this
State is the poorest for FIVE years.
The Chicago gentleman's name is Mr.
J. q. Werst. While in this city, about
ten days ago. he called at the Office of Secre-
tary Heron. and the latter yesterday re-
ceived letter from him, in which he says:
II have now completed my early observations
