The reports received Indicate that the
weather conditions of the past week have
been very favorable to oats, corn and
potatoes, and the crops have made splen-
did growth during the week. In tho
northern section the rainfall was light, and
only local and in showers, and some por-
tions of this section are suffering from the
light rainfall of the past two months. The
effect on the hay is serious, reducing it to
about one-third of a crop. The hay is
nearly all cut, and the wheat harvest is
now pretty general over the south half of
the state. The rainfall of the past week
In ST. Clair. Sanilac and Huron counties
has been sufficient TO greatly revive the
growing crops, and they are now doing
well. The rain came too late to help the
hay crop. In the southern portion of the
state the hay crop was secured in good
condition. and was fair crcp.

and hurried to the house of Dr. Taylor
The physician went to Stanwood. The

that Mr. Blaine had just sat down to "A late
luncheon wnen he had the attack. He
was helped to his couch and in a short
time grew better and talked some. He
himself declared, so it is said, that the
heat was too much for him. that he had
on too much wooden clothing for the rise
in the temperature.
A later dispatch says: The associated
press correspondent conversed with Secre-
tary Blaine few minutes Monday morn
ing. ~ am as we'll as usual today" he
said. ''The sensational reports about my
health sent TO the press all over the
country are lies. / am not a sick man.
They have magnifed slight illness into
something very serious. l am taking no
medicine whatever. go out every day,
and often twice a day. / have good
appetite; eat whatever 1 desire, rise at 6
o'clock and retire at 10 or IL. In fact,
live in my usual manner. There is nothing
more to say" MIR. Blaine spoke ia his
accustomed quick, unhesitating manner,
his voice showing no trace of weakness.
He took long ride Monday morning in an

assistance, sits erect, recognizes acquaint-
ances as in former years and does not seem

ing symptom. But IL may with at least
equal reason be interpreted as the very

are this year and they grow more clearly

Pork products are n shade lower. coffee

Another Census Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, July 10. - The census
onreau has issued a bulletin on the
distribution of pop ulation in accord
ance with altitude. 1t appears
that in the area below 500 feet it in
Guided nearly all that part of the popula-
lion which is engaged in manufacturing
and in the foreign commerce of the country
and most of that engaged in the culture of
cotton, rice and sugar. The interval be-
tween 500 and 800 feet comprises the
greater part of the prairie states and the
grain producing states Of the northwest.
East of the ninety-eightb meridian 1900
feet is practically the upper limit Of popu-
.ation, all the country lying above that
elevation being mountainous. The pop
ulation between 1000 and 5000 feet
is found mainly on the slope of the great
western plains. In this region the belt
between 2, 600 and 5000 feet is almost
everywhere the debatable ground between
the arid region of the Cordilleran plateau
and the humid region Of the Mississippi
valley. Alaska is about $500 feet. The
average elevation at which the inhabitants
lived, taking cognizance Of their distribu-
ton, was 6S7 feet in 1870; in 1880 it had
increased to 739 feet and in 1890 to 7SS
feet.
