COLUMBUS, O., Oct. l2.-The Ohio
state board of agriculture's report Of
the crops for October. 1894, in Ohio,

30, 152, ,433 bushels; oats, 81, 1855, 300 bush
els; barley, 455,687 bushels; rye, 775,-

toes, So: tobacco, 20 per cent.
The present wheat crop is the largest

bushels. The big crop of 1880 showed

a decrease in value Of $29, 1868, 400. While
there is much talk Of splendid wheat

WILL HAVE TO GO TO
THE PEN.
End ofThe Public Career OF Well
Known Man.

DRFIANCE, o., Oct. 12.-The circuit
court yesterday afternoon rendered
its verdict in the case Of G. E. Bron-
son VS.. the State OF Ohio, Judges
Seeney, Moore and Day were on the
bench, and Judge Seeney delivered
the finding. Judge Day dissented on
the ground that the verdict in COM
mon pleas court was not supported
blythe evidence.
The verdict of the common pleas
court was sustained, and execution of
the sentence ordered.
Bronson was Immediately locked in
the county jail, and will be taken to
the penitentiary at Columbus as soon
as special order is given by the com
mon pleas court.
Bronson's career has been remarka-
BILE and has ended in way that no
one would have dreamed of ten years
ago. For many years he was the
leading real estate and loan agent of
Defiance, and enjoyed the confidence
of everybody. -
He came to Defiance when quite a
small boy, and received his education
in the public schools of the city. He
then kept books for various firms, and
soon began the study of law. Short
ly after being admitted to the bar. he
was elected prosecuting attorney and
served three terms.
Retiring from Office, he emerged ac-
lively in the practiceo his profession,
but soon merged into the real estate
business. He loaned money for sew
eral firms, and in short time was do
ing the business of the town. Every
body had confidence in him. He had
a smooth tongue, and knew how to
use it to the best advantage.
1t became known few years ago
that Bronson was doing crooked busi-
ness, and his defalcations have been
coming to light ever since. The ex-
tent of his sharp practice is remark
able. 1t is thought that he has gotten
away with not less than 800, 200.
The crime for which he was convict
ed was embezzlement. He was tried
at the June term of common pleas
court, found guilty, and sentenced to
four years in the penitentiary. He
was granted stay of execution until
the present term cf circuit court, so
that motion for new trial might be
argued before that body, one having
been overruled in common pleascourt
Hon. Frank Hurd argued the case
for Mr. Bronson before the circuit
court, but his eloquence and logic
were of no avail, and Bronson will be
imprisoned in the Ohio penitentiary
for four years at hard labor.

During the fall months, or during
a time of drouth, many farmers find
themselves short of water and have
to drive their stock a considerable
distance. 1t is possibly not generally
known that the township trustees
are allowed to expend $50 Il year to
construct public watering places. If
this was done at cross roads at promi-
nent points in each township, it would
not only be O convenience to the far
mers, but also to the travelling public.

Review of the Grain and Cattle Market
For October 16.

COOLED CODFISH.

Lifted from the Water, Stuffed with Edi-
 blcs and Returned to the Pool.
 At Logan, near the null of Gallo way, there is most interesting tidal fish pond. A rent in the cliffs facing the Irish channel admits the salt water through a narrow Assure, protected by a grating, into circular rock basin, some thirty feet in diameter and twen- ty feet deep. The cliffs rise high all around; stone steps descend on one side to a ledge leveled into a footpath at the waters edge. No sooner does the visitors footfall resound on the stairs than the green water, hitherto motionless and apparently lifeless, be- comes peopled with large brown fish, rising from the depths, gliding and dashing about in a great state of ex- citement. These are cod, lythe and saithe, which, caught on lines in the sea, have been transferred to this pond to be fattcned for the table. They are fed daily by the keeper, says the Ma tional Gnglish) Magazine, and expert ence has taught them to connect the sound of footsteps with their meal time.
 Formerly clapper used to be rung to summon them, but this was no more than trick of the stage; the footfall on tho stone is quite enough to awaken them to activity. Most of the cod. be- ing deep water fish, become totally blind in captivity from excess of light, but they become so tame and accus- toned to their keeper as not only to feed out Of his hand, but some of them allow themselves to be lifted out of the water. One may witness the strange sight of huge cod, more than an ell long, dangled on the knee like baby, hisl mouth stuffed with nlussels and hmpets, after which he is returned to the water with mighty splash. On the table these fish, thus tended and fed, prove much better than fish brought straight from the open sea.

NAPOLEOM'S DAINTY TOILET.
After His Morning Shave His Valet Secured
 Him with Eau De Cologne.

After His Morning Shave HIS valet secured
 Him with Eau De Cologne.
 One of the most interesting articles found among the recent numerous es- says upon tho private life of Napoleon is on the toilet of the emperor, which, it appears, was most important mat ter and regulated down to the smallest details with mathem atical precision. When awakened it was Ia poleon's GUS tom to glance over the paper while the fires were lit. He was sensitive to cold, and a fire was prepared in every room even in midsummer. Then of distin- guished people awaiting an audience he would designate those whom he wished to see, after which he would rise and take hot bath, lasting about an hour. The daily shaving was the next duty. Ordinarily his physician, Corvisart, would be present, chatting and securing favors for his friends. Napoleon's greeting was usually some badinage, such as: ''Ah, charlatan! How many patients have you killed this morning?" And the physician would reply in kind. Two valets were neces- sary for shaving, one holding the basin and another the mirror. The emperor, in flannel robe, de chamber, then covered his face with soap and began to shave. Throwing off his robe, No poleon was next deluged with eau de cologne and subjected to a thorough scrubbing with a rough brush. The valet then rubbed the whole body with linen rolls saturated with eau de coli ogne-a custom that Napoleon had ac- quired in the east. The scrubbing was none of the lightest, either, for he would call out from time to time: ''Harder-rub harder" When the scrubbing was over the emperor dressed himself. A curious detail of his custom was the religious care with which he kept hung around his neck the little leather envelope, shaped like 6 heart, which contained the poison that was to iberate him in case of ire trievable reverses of fortune. This poi son was prepared after recipe that Cabanis had given to Corvisart, and after the year 1908 the emperor never undertook campaign without having his little packet of poison.
