crossties and cordWood, to say nothing
of the damage done to standing timber.
Farmers from the country to-day say
that the drouth has ruined the winter
wheat crop and nearly ruined the grass
prospect. These are the two principal
crops here. Forest fires are still burn
ing on every side, and the city is guar d.
ed by special watches.
The first rain here since April fell in
large quantities this evening, and pros

drouth have done many thousand
dollars damage in this county. The
principal crops here, grass and winter
wheat, have suffered greatly, but the
hay crop may yet be fair.

here tonight and will put damper on
forest fires, which have been terrible.

To Steal Senator BrIce's Seat.

LIMA, Ohio, Nov. G.-The Republi-
cans having captured the Legislature
at yesterdays election will have great
deal to do with Senator Brice taking
his seat. There is great strife be-
tween the Sherman and Foraker fac.
tions for the Senatorship, and .he Re-
publicans are confident that they have
found solution to the trouble which
Will smooth over all differences, and,
when Congress cOnyencs in December,
will carry 1t out.
The plan is for the Republicans to
leave Mr.. Brice's credentials to be refus-
ed in the Senate. This will throw the
matter back to the Ohio Legislature,
which will be Republican, and which,
when it convenes the month after Con-
gress opens, will be in the midst Of hot
warfare between the Sherman and For
aker cOntiDgcnts. After Brice's Gre
dentials are refused, it will be the place
Of the Legislature to elect two Senators
instead Of one, and both the contestants
will be elected. and the Democrats cheat
ed out OF their representative in the
Senate. This disclosure of the scheme
here to-day has caused much excite
ment, thus being Senator BricPs' home,
but the Republican fight in this State
is in such shape that something mnst
be done, and as they are desperate, Brice
viii he chosen for the victim.
