WASHINGTON OPINIONS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Sit has been
thought here that Mr. Blaine would not
come to Washington until his relation to
the incoming administration had been as
certained and semi-ofiicIally announced. AS
Representative Springer said to-day, Mr.
Blaine is expected here to mash the admin
istration if he does get in. aud to smash it if
he don't. So it is thought that he will wait
till the question Of his future role is settled
before coming to the scene Of the drama. The
announcement this morning that he had
left for Washington disturbed calculations
based on this theory, and for seve al
hours there was considerable excitement
among politicians and newspaper men until
it was ascertained that Mr.. Blaine was still
in Augusta.

cabinet assignments so far seem to be pro-

lieved that he viii in some way announce
his intentions respecting Mr.. Blaine very
soon, if for nothing else, to relieve himself

from indianapolis agree in representing as
exceptionally strong.

The Lucky Number.

Steubenville (Ohio) Herald, June o,
Mention was recently made of Thos. VIII
liams' great luck in holding ticket which
drew the So, 600 prlze at the May drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery. A repre-
sentative of this paper this morning found
Mr.. Williams at work in the jefferson Iron
Works. He was at first rather adverse to
saying anything about his good fortune,
but finally said: II had always un.
derstood that the Louisiana State Lottery
was straight about awarding the prizes
drawn, and two or three months ago / sent
for one tenth ticket. I was unsuccessful
in capturing anything, but kept on until be-
fore the May drawing, when l sent two dol
lars and received q one-tenth ticket, num-
bered 1885. The drawing took place on
May 14th, and on the 18th learned that
ticket 1885 had drawn the $25, 600 prize.
It was pretty good news, and the NEXT morn
ing placed it in the hands Of the Adams
Express Company for collection. May oath,
or only ten days after the drawing, / re-
ceived draft for $500.
Mr.. Williams has been in receipt OF many
congratulations upon his good luck, and
many who had not tried their chances were
surprised that the ticket was cashed 50
promptly without any deducegbn. That,
however, is the way in which the Louisiana
State Lottery Company invariably pursues
upon presentation of successful tickets.

STOCK AND FARM.

sharon Springs Times: Mrs. Mo-
rams nne farm, one mile and half west
OF Weakan, has fine, large buildings,
the erection of which shows faith in the
coming greatness of this country. The
Iarm shows great care and labor; and
wnen we consider that the farmers are
only two young boys, we wonder at
the success they have had. II all Wild
ovs who were holding down claims,
we're blessed with two such boys, they
would be in luck.
Medicine Lodge Index: Many farm
ers in this county have listed their
wheat ground to corn after harvesting
the wheat. Prof. Blake advised this
and many farmers in southern Kansas
are following the advise. When it is
remembered that the wheat crop of this
county will average twenty-five bushels
to the acre, the thought of a second
crop, on the same land, will be pleasant
for the hard working farmers of Barber
county.
Harper Sentinel: Sam. s. Sisson's
mammoth rye field contains 125 acres
of the finest kind of grain that will
thresh out at least Is bushels to the
acre. The rye was planted for pasture,
only, Mr.. Sisson never thinking of cut
ting it for crop. One hundred and
fifty head of stock roamed over it until
within six weeks of harvest time. which
seemed to make it better than worse. It
stood thick on the ground, and the
heads were all we'll filed. Rye is a
profitable crop, owing to the pasture it
furnishes in connection with the price
it will bring in the ma ket.
Junction City Union: M. Z. Bitter
man, the veteran wool-dealer. is just

something like $4,000. He did his
business in the counties of Gearv.
Dickinson, Norris, Clay, Saline, Otta-
wa and Marion. Mr.. Bitterman informs
us that owing to an increase in the
price of mutton, and to 4 cents added
to last years price Of wool the sheep
industry begins to look more promis-
ing, and sheep men are correspondingly
encouraged. Many farmers are contem-
plating keeping small flocks in the flu
ture, and many who sold out two, three
and four years ago, are making prepa-
rations to buy some sheep this year.
Large focks, owing to the constant
shrinkage of the range, are decreasing
in number. During the last four years
the number of sheep in the counties
uamed has decreased so per cent. Bet
ter sheep, finer wool and smaller focks
seem to be the tendency.
