FindIay, Ohio, Declares War.

Findlay has declared war against To-

Company, supplying Tiffin, Toledo and
Detroit with fuel. The gas trustees have
ordered the immediate erection of pump
stations at Stuartsville, costing $50, 900, for
the purpose of preventing the rival compa-
MES from robbing the city. Stuartsville is the
heart of the heavy gas belt, and Findlay,
Toledo and the Northwestern have 500
wells The last two companies spent $780,
900 for pumps last fall, and Findlay has
since had low pressure Now there will
be war, and, as the latter city has the adj
vantage of forcing fuel only seven miles,
the new movement is menace to Toledo

covered and is now able TO play with her
companions The child, with its mother

severe attack of scarlet fever. When
that disease was conquered Mar
thena's right arm, side and leg were

speech SO that she could not talk plainly.
and her case seemed hopeless few days
before the inauguration of President Cleve-
land they concluded to goto New York and
place the child under electrical treatment.
Mrs. Harrison. with Marthena In her lap,
sat in an insulated chair while the cleo

ence of the mother gave the child conf
dence TO undergo the ordeal. SO that she
was no. frightened even when the big
sparks leaped from the conductor to her
arm. The doctors say the treatment is
practically the spraying of electricity upon
the parts of the body affected.

COTTON CROP REPORT.
Planting Well Up to the Average at This
Season of the Year.

The cotton report to the Department Of
Agriculture for May relates to the progress
of cotton planting and contemplated acre
age The proportion of the proposed
breadth already planted on the first of May
was S53 per cent, which approaches
very closely the area usually planted
at that date, which is estimated at
So PER cent. The returned estimates for
the several States are as follows: Virginia,
II; North Carolina, So; South Carolina,
90; Georgia, 90; Florida, 90; Ala bama, 90;
Mississippi, IS; Louisiana, 81; Texas, 81;
Arkansas, II; Tennessee, 76. These figures
indicate that planting is well up to the aver
age as to time. The only States that are be-
hind in planting are Virginia. where the
delay was caused by the cold, backward
spring Texas, caused by extensive drought
and backward spring, and Arkansas and
Tennessee, where extensive rainfall and
cold weather retarded operations.
