Is A matter OF general interest and Importance
that an accurate statement Of the number OF
persons in each district should be obtained,
together with such other information as is
proper to be sought for public use. In order
that the figures shall be reliable it is obvious
ly necessary that the enumerators should be
furnished with careful answers to their ques-
tons, and that their work should not be ham
pered or delayed by refusais to answer or by
evasors or msstatements. We trust the peo-
pie of this county will render cheerful and in
teIligent assistance to the enumeratOrs, so that
full and accurate information for the census

"Jest you all go over into the cabin
there and make yourself comfable,
while l tend to gettin' this stuff un-
packed" said Long Tom; "there amt
no one there. My pardner, he's down
below"
"The cabin appears to be two cabins"
said the Colonel, as we approached it.
THAT is for economy in ridge-poles,"
said the doctor; sleeping apartments
on one side and kitchen on the other. In
the space between, you keep your fish
ing-tackle and worms."d
We entered the right-hand section of
the twin cabin, which proved to be the
kitchen side. There was not much fur
niture-a table of hewn logs, chair of
bent saplings, and a rough bench.
However, we did not notice such fur
niture as there was, for each member of
the party, as he stepped over the high
threshold, had his attention instantly at
tracted by the stove, and brief rounde-
lay of CALCULATIONS went along the group.
"Well, that staggers me-" said the
stock-brolier.
"H'm," said the professor, in mystic
rious tone, and rubbing his chin.
The stove was a plain, small cooking
range, rather old and rusty The strange
thing about it was it's position. Its alb
breviated legs stood upon large cedar
posts, which were planted in the floor
and were over four feet in height. This
brought the stove away up in mid-air,
so that the top was about on level
with the face of the Colonel, and he was
six-footer.
We formed in circle about the stove
and stared at it as solemnly as group
of priests around a sacrificial tripod.
We felt of the posts-they were firm
and solid, showing that the mysterious
arrangement was permanent, not a
temporary, one. Then we all bent our
necks and opened our mouths to look up
at the hole in the roof, through which
the stove-pipe vanished.
Suddenly the stock-broker burst out
into laugh.
"Oh, understand it now," said he.
Understand what?" asked the
Colonel, sharply.
"Why Long Tom has his stove hoisted
up so high from the floor"

The stock broker drew small yellow
coin out of his pocket and dropped it on
the table.
HE has the stove up there" he said,
ito get better draught. In this rare
fed mountain air there is only small
amount of oxygen to the cubic inch, and
combustion is more difficult to secure
than in the lower latitudes. / have

den confusion by the discovery that the
professors eye was fixed upon him with
4 sarcastic gaze.

manded the professor.
WELL" said the stock-broker, dog
gedly, never mind the reasons. Ex-
perience is probably good enough for
Long Tom. He finds that he gets bet

IN mid-air, so he has 1t there"
"The right explanation" began the
professor, "is the simplest. My idea is
that"
Excuse me-" Interrupted the stock
broker, tapping the table; "are you in
this pot?"
The professor made deposit, and pro-
ceede6:
Have you noticed that our host is a
very tall man? Like most men of his
height, he hates to bend over. II the
stove were near the floor, he would have
to stoop down low when he whirled a
fap-jack or speared rasher of bacon.
Now he can stand up and do it with ease.

"A BIG COMBINATION.

independent Oil Refiners In Ohio Consol-
idate-A Formidable Opponent of the
Standard Oil Company Brought Into
Existence.
FGNDLAY, O., Oct. 29.-It is stated on
the best authority that consolidation
of the independent refiners of Ohio has
taken place. The recent drop in the
price of oil is given as one of the rea-
sons of the combination for their pro-
lection. The combination is nearly per-
fected and will make the most formid-
able opposition the Standard Oil Com
pany has ever had. The parties inter-
ested in the combine are the Manhattan
Oil Company, the Paragon Refining
Company, the Pluto Oil Company, the
Crystal Refining Company, the Sun Oil
Company, the Craig Oil Company, o. A.
Browning IL Co., n. L. Baumgardner,
Noah Bolus, Lancy Bros. and probably
one or two others, representing in all
over twenty-five thousand acres of de-
veloped producing territory. These
parties not only control and operate the
territory named, which is some of the
best in the field, but they have three
refineries, pipe lines, tank cars, etc.
The principal office will be in Toledo,
with branches in Findlay and Lima.
The refining will be done by the Para
gon, Manhattan and Crystal refining
companies, the latter of which is to be
at once tripled in capacity. An effort
was made to get the Peerless Refining
Company to join the combination, but

NATURAL GAS FAMINE.

Citizens of Pittsburgh and Allegheny In
Bad Wny-Iron Manufacturers Greatly
Inconvenienced, 500 Furnaces Being
Rendered Idle.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29.-The order of
the Philadelphia Natural Gas Company
withdrawing fuel from pudding fur
naces, which goes into effect to-day, is
hard blow to the iron manufacturers.
1t is estimated that 500 furnaces will
undergo enforced idleness by the order
until they can be prepared for the use
of coal 1t is rumored that the gas sup
ply may be again furnished, but the
opinion expressed by the manufactur-
ers is that unless they can secure their
gas supply from other sources they must
return to the use OF coal perma nently.
Several manufacturers have already
commenced to arrange their furnaces for
the use of coal.
The shortage of gas was general
throughout Pittsburgh and Allegheny
yesterday. A large proportion of the
people who use gas fires were compelled
to burn wood or coal. In some parts of
the city there was no gas supply. The
mills and furnaces consume about two
fifths of the gas furnished. When this
supply is cut off from the mills the gas
will be turned into the mains for domes-
tic purposes, and it is believed will fur
nish a sufficient supply for all require
ments.
All the coal operators are greatly
pleased over the prospect that the mills
will return to the use of coal. The de-
mand will be heavy and a revival of bus
mess and increased prices are expected.

A CLEVER DOCTOR.
Knocked His Opponent Down and Then
Charged for Treating Him.

CnarSeu iOr ttin.
A well-known South Brooklyn surgeon
was passing along Butler street shortly
before midnight, when the air was sud-
denly rent by woman's screams of ter
ror and cries for help. In the fourth
story windows of tenement house op-
posite he could see the outlines of strug-
Cling forms.
Dashing into the dark hallway and
cropping up the stairs, he reached the
scene of contention and found burly
teamster in q frenzy of intoxication
beating and kicking his wife. The doc
tors eye instantly noticed heavy whip
| standing at the foot of the sofa. Seiz-
| ing it and ''hefting" it for moment, he
brought the loaded butt down upon the
skull of the wife-beater. The man who
delivered the blow had thorough
| knowledge of anatomy; the man who
received the blow went down as if
thousand volts of electricity had hit him
in the neck.
AS soon as the wife saw blood trick
ling by the husbands ear she began to
blubber out that he was killed.
Don't be alarmed, my good woman"
said her visitor. 81 am Doctor So-and-
So, and I'll repair the slight damage L
have done"
While he was putting some stitches in
| the wound he had inflicted the sobbing
| wife explained that her husband was
| naturally kind man, but that he had
that day won little money on the races
and had become crazed with liquor.
When the surgeon brought the man
back to consciousness he made the pa
! tient hand over 81 for medical services
just to impress the occasion on his
memory, he said. The injured man
grumbled and protested, but he had to,
