The Total Yield Estimated By
Secretary Wilson at 2, ,40O..
600 Bushels.
LARGEST CROP ON RECORD
Long Continued Prosperity for Farm
ers in Sight-High Prices for
Meat VIII Continue.

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-"This years corn
crop will be one of the largest in our
history" said Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, who is in Chicago with
the Presidential party, today. ''The
total yield, it is estimated, will be be-
tween 2,3O0,0OO,0OO and $500, 600, 900
bushels. There will be plenty for manu-
featuring and feeding, and we will have
more corn to sell than anybody wants
to buy. To what extent the crop will
be shipped abroad will depend largely
upon the price it will bring. The high
prices offered for meats will incline
farmers to use their crop for feeding
purposes"
Commenting on the prospect for good
prices, Secretary Wilson said:
''Where stock is to be found, the corn
will be fed unless the price be high. A
large percentage of the crop will be
cribbed, as the farmers generally are
well off and are getting good prices for
their products, so they can afford to
hold their corn crop.
"Meats are likely to be high because
in the last few years our population has
grown faster than the meat producing
animals. Then, injudicious grazing on
the semi-arid regions of the West has
been destructive, and many of those
range States do not have over so pei
cent. of the animals they had fifty years
ago. A steady demand outside of the
United States for first-class meats ir
the quarter and on the hoof, and 6
growing demand, not only across the
Atlantic, but in the countries in ani
around the Pacific, for American can
ned meats, is playing an important par
in influencing high prices. The de
mand is growing in the Orient for ami
NAL products, and growing rapidly.
"The British in the Transvaal war
should it occur, will want our cannet
meats. They can not use refrigerate'
meats over there. All this talk we hav
heard about embalmed beef will no
change this order of feeding troops
They may avoid the kinds that do no
have salt in them, known as came
roast beef

COUNTY NEWS.
RUSHSYLVANIA.

After vacation of over a month it
somewhat puzzles US to know how to
begin our items.
One change seemed to have been
made since we left for our visit; it is
the flattening of the hills.
There were scarcely any apples in
Tennessee, but on our return we saw
barrels of apples in this locality. Lo-
gan county has certainly excelled this
season in that respect as well as in her
hay, wheat and corn crops.
The display at the fair was the best
we have ever seen. The exhibit of
live stock was fine, especially that OF
hogs. Perhaps they were made to ap-
pear to great advantage in our eyes. be-
cause we saw so many of the razor
backs while in the South. The hogs
there seem to be mostly nose. And as
one of the natives expressed it ''they
could drink slop out of Jug"
AS an evidence of returning prosperi-
ty we saw one of our brother correspon-
dents buy, for himself, three pairs OF
socks at the auction at the fair. So if
the editor observes an improvement on
some of the items in Fridays paper he
will know why.
Bart Hardness has severed his con-
nection with the Kenyon store and ac-
cepted position in the Annat store at
Bellefontaine. Mr.. Hardness is an ex-

and we are sorry to have him leave our

time visited her son, E. H. Vance, and
family, in Cedarville, returned last
Saturday.
B. B. Wood, of Bellefontaine, is put
ting down well for William Quay,
with his new Tiffin machine. He is
down over $50 feet, and can go $50 feet
if necessary.
There is great scarcity of cisterr
water in this community, on account
of the protracted dry weather
Miss Belle Cellar, of Prospect, who
has been visiting friends in this com
munity for some time, has been EN-
ployed as clerk in the Kenyon store

The weather is very dry, and wheat
will do no good until we get a good

AN INTERESTING RELIC.

Through Mr.. Claude Spellmrn, son
of Comrade Dan Spellman, deceased, of
DeGraff, corresponding with Major Jos.
Swisher, Eugene Reynolds Post, has ar
ranged to secure as war relic of in
terest, the anchor belonging to the gun
boat Benton, which was the flagship of
the Mississippi flotilla of gunboats in
1862.
At the breaking out of the war a
number of iron clad gunboats were con-
structed, principally at ST. Louis, for
operations on the Ohio, Mississippi and
and other rivers. Among these boats
were the Benton, Cincinnati, Caronda-
let, ST. Louis and Pittsburg. Com
modore Foote was made commander of
the feet which did most excellent SER
vice on the Ohio, the Mississippi and
the Red River. The Benton, one of the
largest and best of these boats, was made
flagship of the Commodore. His fleet
took part with Grants army at Bel
mont, Fort Henry and Fort Donelson.
At the latter place Commodore Foote
was wounded in the foot, and his in
juries were of such serious character
that he had TO retire from the service,
and died soon after. He was an excel
lent officer and was much esteemed by
Grant.
The anchor belonged to the Bentor
weighs 800 pounds, and will be placed
in front of Memorial Hall.
| Mr.. Spellman deserves the thanks o
all for his interest in the matter.

BAD ACCIDENT.
Mr.. Joe Berry Has Fearful Fall In
the Darkness.

Mr.. Jo. Berry, printer, who lives in
his Office in the third story of the Opera
Block, had occasion to visit the out
door closet, in the rear of the block,
about two O'Clock this morning. He
went out board platform walk from
the second story floor, and fell through
it, some sixteen feet, to the ground,
breaking his leg in two places, above
the ankle. He endeavored to get back
to the hail of the second story, as there
was no way out below, and in doing so
tainted and fell in the open cellar way,
where he was found about four o'clock,
by night watchman, VIM. McCoid, who
heard his groanings.
He says that one of the planks broke
and let him through, and it is evident
| that in his fall he knocked two or three
other planks out.
1t appears that two short planks had
| been out for several days, and stepping
into the hole thus made, very probably
caused his fall, breaking one board an(
displacing others, thus letting him fal
through to the ground below.
His injuries were treated by DR.
Wilson this morning, and Berry was
taken to the home of his mother, Mrs
w. FL. Clark, on North Detroit street

SINCE the Republican state conven-

themselves; but Monday he got back at
them again. He brought proceedings
in quo warranto against the New Pitts.

the state. The suit is in reality test
of the screen law of last winter, and is
brought by the Attorney General by
the request of the miners of the state
to test it's constitutionality.-
