Notes From Hewitt.

HEWITT. Oct. l6 The school at
Hewitt opened this morning under
the Management of Miss Emma
Majors, of Z Idly.
Several new buildings are in
course of erection on Warren street.
A Grange was organized at
Hewitt short time ago. This is
the right step in the right direction,
for through organ'z alton the far
mers must be heard, if heard at all.
The Grange is the oldest and most
consistent farmers organization.
Its principles are liberal, its frater-
nifty binding and aims progressive
1t is worth, as school or educa
tIonal ms tuition, great deal more
than the small yearly pittance of
81 20 thai it costs its members,
and we are satisfied that amount
could not be more profitably invest.
ed. If the farmers could only rea-
lie what the Grange has already
done and what it is yet capable of
doing, they would certainly come
out aud unite with this grand or.
ganization. Next Thursday night,
October 10 h, is the next meeting.
A large attendance is expected.

WASHINGTON. May 4-Reports received
by the Chinese minister within the past
few days indicate the probability of out
breaks on the Pacific coast against the Chi
pese residents. The tenor Of the reports was
communicated to Acting Secretary Adee,
and upon the return of Secretary Gresham
from Chicago, kilograms were sent to the
governors Of several western states, ad-
vising them of the existence Of these re-
ports, and requesting them to take meas
ures to prevent any serious infractions Of
the peace. The authority for the report
is not disclosed, but the action of the Chi

case there was trouble and the Chinese
suffered, the United States might properly
be held for indemnity for losses sustained.

and carrying everything In its way. The
big covered bridge, 15o feet In length, was
swung completely round and then torn
loose and swept away.
In the course of the flood stood the
houses Of Jack Smith and William De-
vault and large number OF tenement
houses and souatters' and bachelors
homes. All these are submerged. though
Everybody Managed to Escape
from danger People ned in terror from
their homes, while the swift food rushed
on down the valley.
The first town along the course Of the
flood is Port Jefferson, where the dam
throws the water into the Miami canal. A
portion of the town Is very low, and 1t was
badly flooded. Quincy, Logansville, De-
graf, Piqua, Troy and Dayton are also In
