A Michigan Editor Falls Heir to
Couple of Millions.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Through-
out the monotonous proceedings of the
House yesterday there was one man
whose face was wreathed in a constant
smile. He seemed to be in the best of
humor with himself and the whole
world. The happy gentleman is Con-
gressman James O'Donnell, who repre-
sents the Third Congressional district
of Michigan. Mr.. O'Donnell has re-
ceived cablegram informing him that
he has fallen heir to a fortune of about
50, 100000 in Spain and that $1,000
has been placed at his immediate dis
posal in order that ne might go to
Spain and take the necessary legal steps
to secure control of his heritage. Mr..
O'Donnell does not know who Left him
the money, but he says one of his rela-
tives went to Spain and settled there,
but had been lost sight of. Mr.O'Don-
nell resides in jackson, Mich. He is O
vetran of the late war and has served
as mayor of jackson. He is the editor
of the Jackson Daily Citizen, and begun
his Congressional career in 1885.

The Buckeye State May Have TO Drop
Behind Illinois.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The census
returns from the postal card enumera-
ton makes the population ofthe Unit.
ed States a little under sixty-four mill
lions. This is exclusive of the public
institutions, penitentiaries, asylums,
soldiers homes, ETC., which are enum-
Grated separately. Supt. Porter belize
yes that when these and the corrections
are added they will bring the popula-
tion up close to the original estimate
a little over sixtyfive millions. The
congressional appOrtionment is now
made on the basis of 15l 900 inhabi-
tants to the district. If the number of
representatives in the house is not in
creased the basis of representation must
be increased to little over one hun
dred and eighty thousand, but if it
is deemed advisable to increase the size
of the house to 400, as has been suggest
ed, the basis will only be increased to
1852, 900 to the district. A very rough
estimate of Ohio's population places 1t
at close to three million nine hundred
thousand. This would give Ohio one
additional representative If the present
number in the house is retained and
three if is increased to 400. 1t is said at
the census office,that Illinois will out
strip Ohio in the matter of population
and that the Buckeye state will drop
from third to fourth on the list Of
states.

Girls shake Up Your Rustles.

Clara Belle, the fashion correspou-
dent of the Enquirer, in her last Sun
days letter says: '"There is a rumor.
but 1t is a rumor that you may depend
upon, that bustles are coming back
again. Women are no longer to look
as If they were not intended to sit
down. The first sign of the coming
change will make itselfapparent in the
slight draping of the skirt on the hips:
this will be the bud, and 1t will not
take many months for this bud to de-
velop into full-blown flower of pretty
generous proportions. Hurrah for the
pouf! There are many worse things
than the pouf. Men build out their
shoulders, why shouldn't we on our
pom my word 1 don't know what to
call II! Shakspere says there is divin-
ity that shapes our ends; no doubt that
divine instinct is at the present mom-
ent influencing the dress-makers, and
hence we may await with perfect se-
renity the publication of the autumn
fashion plates"

A Battle with Snakes.

T1FFIN, o., Aug. "a party of Sec
ton men on the Cincinnati, Sandusky
& Cleveland railroad while at work on
the line Of track two miles south of the
city this morning had an adventure
which will long remain an unpleasant
memory. They were engaged In their
duties when one of the party noticed a
large snake in the grass near the track,
and started to kill 1t when he was at
tackled by two huge reptiles of the blue
racer variety. These creatures are but
a variety of the black snake and as
harmless as kittens SO far as their bite
is concerned, but are second only to the
python as constructors. One of the rep.
tiles wound itself around the fellows
leg and the other was making progress
towards enveloping his body in its folds
when help arrived, and after lively
contest the two snakes were killed.
One measured eight feet two inches in
length and was nearly thirteen inches
in circumference, the other was small
er, being but seven feet four inches
long.

NORTH DAKOTA DEMOS.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA Grand Fork,

The democratic nominations include
choice material and best men of the
party. Democratic leaders of great
popularity heretofore, but who unfor-
tunately were involved. in the lottery
imbroglio of last winter, have been
moved to the rear and the anti-lottery
men of unimpeachable integrity and
honorable record are put at the front.

The present report indicates decline
of six points in wheat prospect since
the estimate of July 1. The result Of
threshing has been disappointment
to the farmers in most sections of the
state. The yield is not SO great as was
expected from the appearance Of the
growing grain. Many correspondent
report the wheat yield at from a quarter
to a third less than was anticipated
Reports of full or fair yield are very
few.
While no estimate was asked this
month for corn, correspondence in theil
general remarks refer to corn as being
badly injured and poor prospect
The indications are that only from &C
to rs per cent. ofa full crop can be ex
pected.
Oats were badly injured by blight Oh
rust. The crop is very short and not o.
prime quality.
The potato crop will be very
short, but little more than half an aver
age crop can be expected.

HAS THE WABASH BOUGHT THE
MIDLAND?

The Latest Bit of Railroad News
Comes From Tiffin.
TIFFIN, o., Aug. THE latest indi-
Gated railroad deal in which Tiffin may
feel an interest is the announcement
that the real purchase of the American
Midland railroad-at present q couple
of streaks of rust lost in the woods
somewhere west of Findlay- is the Wa
bash, and that the latter will complete
the road from Ft. Wayne to Pittsburg,
thus securing a trunk line to the east
and becoming independent of the To
ledo connections through which it at
present secures its eastern traffic.
Should the road be built, its logical
route will be through Tiffin.

Growing Walking Sticks,

Walking sticks are to a great exten,

number received from other countries
reaches nearly 100000 annually, with
a combined value of e25, 900 or so. Com
moner sticks, as those of beech, ash,
thorn and hazel, are to a great extent
grown in this country. In Gloucester,
shlre, Tor instance, many acres are de-
voted to no other purpose than the rails
ing of wood for the walking stick market
a peculiar branch of this business is the
importation of overgrown cabbage stalks
from the Channel Islands, where cab
bages are regularly trained with view
to being transformed into walking sticks
by process of stripping off each leaf as
it appears, and finally drying and harden
ing the stems.-London Tit Bits.
