more intimate friends at once hur-
ried TO the residence to offer services
which, however, were not needed
The word was flashed from all the
bulletins of all the newspapers and
thus communicated TO the people on
their way home in the evening. The
announcement produced the greatest
sorrow. nearly everyone having nur-
tured the hope that Gen. Harrison

ments the flags on all the public
buildings and most of the downtown
business blocks were hoisted at half
mast and other outward manifesto
tions of mourning were made.
His Children Absent.
None of Gen. Harrison's children
was present at his death. Neither
Col. Russell Harrison ror Mrs. Mckee
had reached the city, although both
were hurrying on their way to the
bedside of their dying parent as IA. I
as steam would bear them. Eliza
beth, the little daughter, had .een
taken from the sick room by her
nurse before the end came.
The group at the bedside included
Mrs. Harrison, w. II. III. Miller, Sam
uel Miller, his son; Rev. NJ. l.. Haines,
pastor OF the First Presbyterian
church. which Gen. Harrison had at
tended for so many years; Secretary

this week which is Of. interest and
of prime imp rtance to the farmers.
The law,regulating the sale Of pris
on binder Irvine provides that il
the season S output is not ordered
in adyance .by farmers before May 1,
that the balance left on hand at
that date may be sold to dealers,
who will resell il to farmers at an
advance IN price Ieret ofore many
farmers have delay ed ordering the
Irvine until well along towards har-
vest, v hen they could better judge
how much they would require and
il this delay they requently found
that there was no prison Irvine left
to supply their wants, as the stock
remaining r On hand May had been
snapped i 3 BY dealers, and they
were obliged to buy from the latter.
Now the present board 81 mama
gers as az accomod ation to the
farmers, has decided not to sell to
dealers until after J une s, which
gives the farmers the excl elusive
priviil ege up to that date.

to the fact that it is Of the utmost
concern that all the people should

.curate census and should lend an.
eager aid to the agents Of the Gov

sired that an enlightened public
sentiment should induce Congress
to provide for a permanent Census
Bureau

persons will bess surprised toslearn Of
the magnitude and the enormous
difficulties of the census work of the
