THE WHEAT CROP.

While Logan county has an extra
good wheat crop, the crop throughout
the State is not up to an average. The
State Board Of Agriculture reporting
on the crop in the State, says:
''The wheat harvest is about COM
pleted, being the earliest in many
years. The present prospect indicates
a crop OF II per cent. as compared with
a fair average. The crop in Central
and Southern Ohio has been greatly
damaged by fly and grub. Some cor
respondents report that fields have
been left standing as not worth the
cutting, but such reports are few and
have.no great bearing on the general
result for the State. The result OF
threshing will be required to know the
real wheat product, but it is certain
the crop will fall 25 and more per
cent. below the average"

The ordinance was repealed in 1897,
before the levy was made. This gives
an average levy for the poor fund,
when we had saloons, o; 65 hundredths
Of mill on every dollar; and an aver
age levy of q little over IS hundredths
of mill per year, during the seven
years when we were witho It the saloon
or in other words, the levy for the
poor fund during the time we have had
saloons, was nearly four times what it
was when we had no saloons.
1t will be observed also that in the
years that there was a levy of only 20
hundredths Of mill for the poor fund,
there were two years when there was
no levy at all for the poor fund.

MT. VICTORY LAD DROWNED.

James E. Littler, who graduated in
the High School class at Mt. Victory,
this spring, went to Cleveland to get a
situation, and failing to secure one, ac-
cepted position as deckhand on the
steamer Olwill, that was lately wreck
ed at Lorain, on the south shore of
Lake Erie. He was reported lost, as
an unknown deckhand, and no one
knew who he was, until letter was re-
ceived from Mr.. J. Edison Gordon,
Superintendent of the Mt. Victory
schools, who had learned that young
Littler had shipped on the Olwill, from
young companion named Guy Will
liams, who went with Littler to Cleve-
land. Littler was the son of widow,
who was visiting another son, in Marion,
when James left for Cleveland.
Mr.. Gordon sent photograph OF
young Littler, which was at once iden-
tilted by the engineer of the boat. The
engineer recognized the likeness,
though he did not know the young
mans name. N
| 'He seemed to be out of place." said
the engineer, 'sand he was different
from most of the deckhands one sees
on the lakes. His hands were soft, as
though he had never done any hare
work, and while he was at work help
ing to load stone for our trip home they
became sore, but he made no complaint
1 took quite an interest in him.
He was a well-educated, well-spoken
and mannerly young man, andas have
boys of my own l took more notice o
him than might have done otherwise

identity, and have written to the schoo
superintendent in Mt. Victory to know
what they want done with the bod.

The Taxes We Have to Pay to Keel
Up the Saloons.

The Township Trustees levy each
year, what is called the tax for the
''poor fund.-, to help needy individuals
and families, temporarily--generally
during the winter. 1t is interesting to
note the tax rate for. this fund, as bear
ing upon the saloon question in our
city.
The ordinance was adopted in 1889.
The township tax levy was made be-
fore the effect of the ordinance could

old basis. The rate from 1888 to 1898,
has been as follows; the rate being on

DROWNED AT BRUSH LAKE.

Mr.. j. c. Harvey, of North Lewis
burg, was drowned at Brush Lake, the
4th of July. He was fishing in boat
with Mr.. D. H. Kennedy, and was
standing in the boat trolling for bass.
Mr.. Kennedy lost his balance and fell
overheard, upsetting the boat, and
throwing Mr.. Harvey out. The latter
could not swim and drowned before any
one could reach him.
Mr.. Harvey was raised in Quincy and
lived for several years in Bellefontaine.
He was manager of store for Mr.. E. J..
Short, of this city, at North Lewisburg,
and was man of high standing in his
community. He leaves a family, and
his untimely death caused deep sadness
throughout the community.
| Mr.. Short and Mr.. N. w. Corbett
went to North Lewisburg, Wednesday
morning, on hearing the news.
There is lesson in this to all person!
who go on the water in boats, and are
not used to it. Don't stand up while il
a boat. A person has to learn t.
stand and balance in boat, just a
when babe, they learned to stand ant
walk. A person who is used to boat
unconsciously balances, and meets ever,
movement of boat, as if glued to it
but the person without experience i
almost sure to make the wrong motion
and upset the boat or fall out. If yo
are not used to being in beats, kee
your seat while out upon the water
and if you have occasion to chang
seats with any one, let only one be o
his feet at one time, and be very care
full, not standing erect.

CAPT. MERRILL MILLER.

Captain Merrill Miller is in COM
mand of the U. S. war vessel Badger,
at Samoa, and his vessel will leave that
island on the 14th, to bring the Com
mission to San Francisco, and will
reach there about the 10th of August.
Captain Miller was unfortunate enough
to be on "shore duty" during the late
war, but he is one of the most popular
men in the navy. He is too modest,
however to push himself to the front.
