of Col. Estill, although they have
been more conservative an have
not placed the county certain for
him.
In the judgeship race, Glynn is all

the gentlemen, Col. Hitch, Of
WaycDss and Judge Parker. OF
Baxiey are anxious to capture it.
There are number of Guerry

A compilation of considerable inter-
est has just been brought out by DR..
R. N. Gust, LII. D., the we'll known
oriental scholar It takes the form
of complete list of the languages and
dialects spoken and written in the
British empire at the close Of the min
teenth century.
The total number of these Is 204, OF
which eighty-five are furnished by
Asia, fifty-eight by Africa and thirty
by Oceanic. Among the tongues in
cluded in this list are many which are
decidedly unfamiliar to the man in
the street." India, for example, fur
nishes Khowar (ChitraD, Kortha CAS-
sam), and Lepeha (Tibet frontier) ;
then from the Celebes islands comes
Alfnor from the island Of Zanzibar
Pokomo, from Sierra Leone Bullion,
and from the Niger territory Igbira.
The language spoken in the Hudson
bay district is called Kri, in New
Brunswick Malist and in British Gui-
ana Acawoio. In the Friendly islands,
says the London News, the inhabitants
wish one another Merry Christmas
in Tonga. while at Port Moresby they
do so in Roro.

down to quiet life for time, for the
only reason that he was unable to
commit any more deeds Of villiany.
His acquaintance sheltered him, and
he remained with the family, under
the plain name of John ]. Smith, until
his death last week, when, by his re-
quest, his remains were shipped back
to Tuscarawas county, and buried near
the place where his boyhood days were
spent. This was the only indication
of sentiment the man was ever known
to develop, and this came only with
the approach Of death, for which he
evinced not the slightest fear, nor did
he manifest the slightest repentance.
He died as he had lived. one of the
wickedest men Of earth since the days
Of Nero.

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.

The Territorial Government Reports
show Results beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
l0th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories. for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year. owing to
the extensive crop and the delay In
getting 1t threshed. The Department
Of Agriculture is leading the way In
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces. crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion Of per-
sons interested In the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
well posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
OF opinion, in which mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system Of returns Of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy Of the reports
cannot, therefore. be gainsaid. for
they represent compilation Of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
1t might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system Of
growing crop returns, which will be In
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given Of
crops of wheat running from 40 to As
bushels to the acre.
j. A. Smell, Of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres,
an average of GO bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
w. r. LIotherwell, of Abernethy,
threshed 1850 bushels Of wheat from
a 5O-acre field, an average of SO BUSH
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district. T. T.
Hutchings threshed 728 bushels Of
wheat from a ten-acre plot, al average
Of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels Of
oats from 60 acres Of land. an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication Of the actual yields
or grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabff-
tiles of the Western Canadian prairies.
