An Ohio girl who was married 10 a
man after an acquaintance of three days
complains now because he turns out to
be convict and not the naval captain he
represented himself to be. While she
undoubtedly has cause to mourn, it is
hardly right that she should receive all
the sympathy. The man, on his part,
ran some risk. lie was probably led 10
believe that he was getting wife who
possessed reasoning powers.

rOr, in a communication in support of

The census enumerators will begin
work June /, and must finish in thirty
days. Cities $4,000 or more inhabitants
as shown by the preceding census must
he completed in two weeks. The four
principal reports on population, mortali-
ty, agriculture and manufacture must be
printed by July l, 1902. After that the
tabulation of special inquiries will be
taken up. There is no time fixed in
which these latter reports must be COM
pleted. The enumeration appointments
for tho district have not yet been an
nouced, but will be shortly.
Many farmers in various sections are
being victimized by a swindler, who rep
resents himselfas a census taker. He
takes notes of the family and secures the
signature of the farmer to paper which
turns out to be contract for a lot of
worthless books. These are sent to a
farmer as result of the contract, for
which tho sharpers demand payment.
Census enumerators will be furnished
with badges by the government which
are to be worn in conspicuous place so
as to be plainly seen, and which will be
their credentials for gathering statistics.

Frank Zahniser of the south ward
came very near loosing the sight of one
OF his eyes last Saturday. He and his
brother were playing about the house
and yard and the younger one had an
air gun. Frank was looking out of a
window and his brother pointed the gun
at him and told him to get his head in
the house or he would shoot him, and
then pulled the trigger, thinking of
course that Frank would dodge, but lie
didn't, and the shot struck him on the
brow of the right eye. DIR. Bovard was
called to extract the shot and says that if
it had struck halt an inch lower it would
have resulted in the boys losing the
sight Of the eye and possibly more seri-
ously.
