GREAT CORN STATE
IS OHIO ACCORDING TO FIGURES
MADE PUBLIC.
Yield This Year Nearly One Hun.
dred and Ten Million Bushels.
Conditions Are Excellent
for Growing Wheat.

Columbus, o., Dec. S.-Ohio this
year proquced 1OY,S41.4 busnels OF
corn. IL
lnis is shown by the state crop re-
port Just puDiished.
Although the corn area this year
was 400 acres less than the oiig-
inal area reported by the townsn. .p
assessors Tor the harvest of 1904, the
total production tor the state ex-
ceeds that crop by 17.S47,991 bushels.
This is due to the high average yield
per acre. which was more than sew
en- bushels per acre greater than last
year. Excessive rains delayed plant
ing. and the crop generally was late,
but with the excellent weather condi-
tions. prevailing 1t was cribbed In
good condition.
The report says that the weather
conditions during the past month
have been very favorable for the
growing wheat. and the plant now
shows gain OF one point over the
fine condition reported one month
ago. Its present estimated condition
is reported at 9S per cent of an av-
erage.
| Ibis excellent condition is very gen
eral over the state, there being but
six counties where 1t Is reported low
er than 80 per cent. while 81 counties
report the condition equal to or bet
ter than a good average.
Tho flslds are'.covered with a fine
stand. the plant being well rooted.
and is now In good condition to with
stand the rigors of severe weather.
The damage reported by Hessian fly
Is very slight.
Pastures are still green and farm
ers, generally, have not commenced
winter feeding. Hog cholera Is re-
ported ID some localities.

New York. Dec. S.--Andrew Carne-
gle. who was the principal speaker
ut the Immigration congress of the
National Civic Federation at Madi-
son Square Garden said:

a premium to every man who would

What we want is the mingling of
the bloods OF the world and through
that we will maintain and secure the
purest of American blood"
Looking over the audience, Mr..
Carnegie asked: "Is there anyone
here who is not either an immigrant
or from immigrant extractions?"
His remarks created somewhat of
sensation. The session out

practically devoid OF interest to out

HIS RUSE FAILED
sweeNEY WAS NOT AS LAME AS
~ HE APPEARED
Cane He Carried Held Enough Booze
to Keep Him Drunk an En-
i tire Day.

Why robust George Sweeney should
be forced to beg for q living. when
he appeared prosperous enough to
sport an elaborateiy trimmed cane
had Chief of D,.,e McCloud and his
force guessing until yesterday morn
Ing. when Sweeney and Albert Lynes,
his partner, were sent to the work.

which were imposed by Mayor Smith
for begging.
It appears that the cane which Swee-
ney carried was not the one that his
father used generously when Sweeney
was q boy. II belongs to some other
person, whom the police have not yet
located. Sweeney turned 1t over to
Turnkey Reigier when ne registered ut
the McCloud hotel. Afterward 1t was
tucked away In a corner. Yesterday
Sweeney pleaded 20 be given the cane.
He wanted to take 1t to the workhouse
with him, but the police insisted that
canes were only given persons who
were sent to the infirmary, so Sweeney
went caneless.
Yesterday, as one of the officers at
headquarters was examining the cane
the top of 1t flew open. Inside there
was little box, which was evidently
used by the original owner as re-
ceptable for snuff. But Sweeney used
1t to store away his tobacco. Further
examination revealed the fact that the
silver tip of the cane also screwed
OF, making a neat little cup.
THAT cane probably belonged to a
pedestrian, who needed it when he be-
came thirsty along the road" ventur-
ed an interested "copper""
But 1t wasn't prohibition cane by
any means. inside the hollow for
more than foot deep there is glass
tube which will hold enough genuine
booze to keep man well keyed up
for a day at least,
Its no wonder Sweeney wanted to
take the cane along" remarked po-
fceman. after the discovery had been
made. ac',S5 4

MORE OPTIONS
ARE SECURED
suRvEYoRs STILL MAKING PRO-
POSED ROUTES.
The Last is From Orrvilie and Ends
on a Route Running From Dsl-
ton to Navsrre-Use Of
the Land Mystery.

A report came from Justus and Ma
varre yesterday that the persons who
secured options on eight hundred and
fifty acres of farm land near Justus
several months ago, were still busy
endeayoring to secure options of two
other pieces of land this week. The
land now wanted lies west of the land
already held under option. John BIN
eler, of Zoar, is interested in obtain
ing the options, but will not say what
the land is to be used for.
II issthe impression OF those watch
ing the proceedings that the land is to
be used by the Wheeling & Lake Erie
Railroad Company for some purpose
Just what this will be has not been
suggested. The company has had sur
veyors on the ground for several
weeks and two or three routes have
been surveyed from Dalton to the
main line south of Navarro. The
line Is supposed to be a cutoff line
for through freight
The surveyors completed these
lines a lew days ago and on last Tues
day began to survey route from
near ,Orryille to a point on the new
line. The two proposed routes come
togethepSon land now held under op-
ton. The line from Orrville follow
ed the general course of the Sugar
creek until the route struck one OF
the proposed lines from Dalton. At
least four routes have been surveyed
across the land held under option, but
the persons who secured the options
nor the surveyors will give any in
formation.
If the promoters secure options on
the additional land for which they
are now working, they will hold about
one thousand acres subject to what
ever needs the future brings forth.
The only remark ever made concern
ing the use Of the land was made
by a person securing the option of
,one farm when he rmarked that the
land would be better suited for its
intended purpose II there were no
buildings on any of 1t.

Senator Morgan on Rates.

Washington, Dec S.-Senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, has written for the
issue of the Manufacturers Record OF
Baltimore, carefully a careful an
alysis OF the regulation of railroad
rates by the national government.
He reaches the conclusion that the
courts, through the channels of JUS
tice already established are the prop
er resorts for the correction of un-
reasonable rates and that the quick
est and safest way to establish bet
ter rates is to shorten, simplify and
lessen the cost of litigation.
To create new tribunals or pre-
scribe rates by action of congress,
he asserts, will accomplish nothing
towards reaching these results, is of
doubtful constitutionality and entails
grave dangers to the industrial and
political well-being of the nation.

some great hospital, never was man SO
waited on.
Yet, seeing that l embarked on a
semi-scientihc voyage with the pen, so
must | end my quest in similar strain.
The surgeon who described Karls in
juries SO 1ucidly became curious as to
the meaning of certain hints dropped
by Hooper and myself, more especially
when he CHANGED to hear the elder
Grier denouncing telegnomy and all its
arts.
Gradually, feeling my way with the
warineGs of a mole, | led him along the
underground paths of the sixth sense, as
far as | could track them He listened
with increased interest. Ultimately he
asked me to introduce him to Sir William
Macpherson. They discussed learnedly
for long time, and they agreed at last
in a mild definition:
The upper temporosphenoidal lobe
contains the cortica1 auditory center, "
they said 1.-The functions of the middle
and lower 1obes are not definitely ascer-
tanned Karl Grier is stated to have
exhibited abnormal manifestations of
unrecognized cerebral activities, and as
these seem to have ceased since he re-
ceived a blow, it is advisable to point out
that the resultant fracture of the skull
caused a lesion of the two 1obes in ques-
ton
They would go no further than that in
writing; but they went a long way
further in speech, and if any encourage
ment on the part of those eminent special
lists could have induced Karl to recover
his lost faculties, that encouragement
was certainly Forthcoming.
He has unhesitatingly declined to
attempt any such thing He is happy
in his wife, his children and his surround
ings, and he is not willing to tempt the
fates again. He has admitted to me that
he is still aware of tidal influence (Which
be it remembered, affects the solid earth
as we'll as the unstable water), and he
believes he has the power, if he chose to
exert it, of seeing and hearing far more of
other peoples business than he desires to
know
But he refuses to face the unknown
again. He carried the experiment far
beyond the bounds of present scientific
investigation. l have described some
part of the inquiry and its outcome
Both of us are content to allow others to
take up the threads of knowledge where
they have fallen from our hands.

lion's-head kilocker of the CASTILLO Rondo
to convey the glad news.
Other messages to hand in the morn
ing rescued our Journey to London from
the misery which must have attended it
otherwise The Italian count saw us
off from Como. did not grudge him
that happiness. 1t was his parting
glimpse of his divinity-and her for
tune
Slow as the mail train seemed to us
in its scurry through Italy, Switzerland
and France, we passed MANY a weary
hour in England before Karl recovered his
five senses, to say nothing of the sixth.
During four days he lay prone at the gate
of death, his breathing slow, labored and
stertorous, the pupils of his eyes dilated
unequally.
But splendid surgery saved him. The
injury was so serious that prompt
operation, carried out before his parents
were even aware of his condition, alone
pulled him back from the void.
Steindal's blow, delivered on the side
rather than on the back of the head,
caused depressed fracture of the skull,
a tiny bit of bone being driven into the
temporosphenoida1 lobe The resultant
concussion, too, passed rapidly into a
compression of the brain arising from
effusion of blood 1t was the breaking
of the bottle which delivered Karl from
instant death. Had such a heavy i'm
plement retained its solidity, the shock
must necessarily have been fatal.
The expert surgeon who carried out the
requisite trephining gave me these de-
tails after one of his visits. Karl was yet
unconscious, and this was the fourth
morning after the attack.
Maggie, frail ghost, waylaid us in the
corridor. Doctor" she whispered,
may l see him?"
Medical men are telegnomiSts in their
way. He had noticed her the previous
day, soon after our arrival, in fact, and
his professional eye was attracted by her
ethereal beauty. YES" he said That
will do no harm. But you must promise
to keep quiet
81 PROMISE she answered.
He led her to the room where Karl lay,
tended by hospital nurses. None him
dered, SO | went with them. Maggie
was Drawer than | thought She moved
noiseless1y to the head of the bed and
stopped over the recumbent form. Karl
was restless, almost fretful The light
was dim, yet distinctly caught the I'M
spoken question on Maggies lips as she
turned and looked at the surgeon. He
nodded.
She bent and kissed Karl lightly on
the forehead, where the bandages left a
little space. Then she murmured, never
so tenderly: Karl, mera piydrd, l am
herel"
What Heaven-sent inspiration moved
that maiden with the meek brown eyes"
to utter those Persian words of endear-
ment? Many year had passed since
Karl and she spoke Hindustani to each
other. She had almost forgotten the
language, yet the first gush of impulse
renewed the fount, and here was she
calling him her sweetheart as she was
wont to do in the isping childhood of
