One month ago this department officially stated that the flood damage to growing wheat was not of such severity as to affect the general prospect of the crop for tho state as a whole. This statement is fully verified by the present crop report.

There has been but a slight area of the original acreage abandoned. The prospect for a heavy yield per acre is quite optimistic. In many of the heavier wheat producing counties correspondents state that the yield will bo far above an average production. Tho state average production is estimated at 97 per cent compared with a normal yield. On corresponding date, 1912, tho prospect was estimated at 45 per cent.

The area remaining for harvest is estimated at 674,603 acres, in excess of the area harvested in 1912. One year ago rcverta conditions were true. The report then showed that 44 per cent of the original area seeded had been abandoned. Prediction was made that the harvest would result in one of the lowest productions in the state's history. Tho final threshing showed a state average production per acre of buften bushels.

The total state production was less than eleven million bushels. With the present splendid condition of the wheat crop, the 1913 harvest should be well up to an average. Weather conditions fore part of May were unfavorable to oats growth. The present, prospect is estimated at 89 per cent, compared with a normal yield. The present area is approximately 250,000 acres less than in 1912.

Corn planting was retarded by cool, wet weather. Warm rains latter part of May beneficial to all growing crops. Fruit prospects show a material de cline since last report. Present prospect estimated at 52 per cent. The crop suffered severe damage by late frosts.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS Perrysburg Couple Again Clasp Hands at Hymens Alter. Fifty years ago last Monday, being Juno 9th, 1863, at Holy Angel's church, in Sandusky City, Ohio, Miss Ellen Laden, a charming voung girl, and Ignatius Boff, just from the service of his adopted country, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock fby Rev. Fr. Boff, a brother of the groom, who later became one of the high dignitaries of his church. After fifty years, surrounded by children, grandchildren and a host of friends, this same couple, still young in heart, renewed their marriage vows at the altar of St.

Rose church in Per- among" the many friends and relatives and the ceremonies were beautiful and impressive. The choir1, composed of the children and grandchildren of the venerable couple, charmingly rendered Roswick's beautiful Mass. The Offer tory was sung by Mrs. G. Blanchard, with violin obligato by Miss Marie Frederichs, daughter and granddaughter of the golden bride and groom, with Prof.

Rossbach as the organist. Mrs. Boff has been a member of the Altar Society for 35 years, and as a compliment to her the society decorated the church in a most appropriate and beautiful manner. There was a large audience at the church to witness the ceremonies and extend congratulations to the "happy couple." In the afternoon a reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Boff and a large number of friends and relatives assembled to extend con gratulations and enjoy the hospitality and charming entertainment extended to the guests by the family, all of whom are musically inclined and most charming entertainers. On returning to their home- the bride and groom of fifty golden years entered the parlor to the beautiful strains of the Lohengrin wedding march played by Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. Friedrichs. One of the most pleasing and touching incidents of the occasion was that of four tiny grandchildren when they surrounded their grandma and grandpa bride and groom and sang "Put on Your Old Gray Bonnet." Among many gifts of especial interest was the amber and gold rosary presented Mrs.

Boff by the members of the Altar Society. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Boff composing the choir were Mrs. G.

Blanchard of Toledo, Mrs. Friedrichs of Perrysburg, Mrs. Wolfrom and Mr. Joseph Boff of Detroit and Mrs. Dr.

Comstock of Maumeo. It was a happy occasion and was one that will be a beautiful memory in after years to every member of the family. "I have been somewhat costive, but Doan's Regulets give just the results I desire. They act mildly and regulate the bowels perfectly." Geo. B.

CHAPMAN, 'Assistant Resources over i -J AWARDING I Appointed to Decide Who Shall Receive Improvement Prizes. Tho meeting of tho Perrysburg Civic Association held on Monday evening was attended by a largo membership and the proceedings were of unusual interest. President Clay presided and announced the appointment of the committee for the purpose of awarding the prize for best kept lawn, as follows: Dr. W. H.

Rheinfrank, Wm. Diebling, Mrs. R. C. Pew, Mrs.

Frank Hollenbeck, Mrs. R. P. Barton. It was decided to change the prize offer and give an award of $5 for the best kept lawn on each street from Front to and including Seventh street The question of a new freight depot for the C.

H. D. R. R. at Perrysburg was referred to the Traffic committee for action.

Tho Legislative committee was authorized to prepare and present to Council an ordinance regulating the care of lawns and destruction of weeds DRIVING A LOCOMOTIVE The passing of Mr. Archibald C. Rider, of Tontogany, account of whose death was published in this paper last week, marked the closing of a life that was most active and in which there had occurred many incidents of interest in the early days of railroading in this county. In the year of 185G ho accepted a position as locomotiveengineer for the Central Ohio railroad, now the B. his run being from Bellaire to Columbus.

He later went to the C. H. D. railway company and later went with R. B.

Shoemaker, general manager of construction of the D. then in course of building. At that time the new road was being constructed from two opposite points Toledo and Day ton. Mr. Rider was delegated the duty of bringing the engines from Dayton over the Mad river road to Sandusky, thence over the Lake Shone line to Toledo where they were put at work in the building of the new road and with Andrew Roach, formerly of Perrys burg, in charge of track building, the two men had active charge of the entire construction work of the new road until its completion when the two lines met at Wapakonetta, and were united, thus completing the first through air line road from Toledo to Cincinnati.

During the war of the rebellion he was drafted into the government service and was assigned to duty under Col. McGinnis, and was placed in charge of an engine running between Huntsville, Alabama and Chattanooga, Tenn. During this period his life was one of excitement and daring, as his line was constantly menaced by the Confederates and their unscrupulous allies and friends, the "bushwhackers," who were liable to appear at any time or place least expected, and they were experts with the musket. On one of his trips to Chattanooga his en gine tank had eleven holes shot into it by these gentlemen and he narrowly escaped with his life. Running an engine through the enemy's country dur ing the darkest nights without headlight or any assurance that the rails were not removed or obstructed, required more than ordinary nerve, but this was his every day and night experience until the close of the war.

A narrow escape from death or capture, or both (as one oftimes meant the other), occurred when he was pulling Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Every family without exception should keep this preparation at hand during the hot weather of tho summer months. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is worth many times its cost when needed and is certain to be needed before the summer is over. It has no superior for the purposes for which it is Buy it now. For sale by all dealers.

Advertisement. COMMITTEE and removal of rubbish from streets and alleys. The Publicity and Entertainment committees were authorized to arrange for a Home Coming celebration. The purchase of receptacles for waste paper was ordered. Among others who participated in the speaking and entertainment of tho members, President Clay introduced Mr.

W. S. Walbridge, who said ho was pleased tq be numbered a member of the association and desired to become identified with the village as a citizen and to do his part toward the upbuilding of the town and the welfare of its citizens and institutions. He paid a high ti-ibute to the beauty of the town and urged the members to be faithful and persevering in their efforts to make it a Greater and Better Perrysburg. His remarks were well chosen and received with appreciation by the members of the association.

FOR UNCLE SUM IN '61-4 the first section of three train loads of soldiers. As they neared a bridge spanning a river he discovered that rebel soldiers were attempting to de stroy the bridge and that the bridge was burning, but by close observation he saw that the track was still in line and that the only hope of safety was by crowding on all possible steam and making a rush for the other side. This he did and the last car had just passed over the bridge as it began to give way. The other two sections could not pass over and the soldiers were all made prisoners and many never saw home and friends again. Another incident of his service in the South was at a later date when he was made helpless by rheumatisp contracted in the service and was taken to the deserted house of a Southern planter.

Tho family had all fled to safer quarters, but an old negro woman was left in charge of the place and she had cared for him. One day a squad of rebel soldiers arrived and were about to make him a prisoner, while some of the party insisted that it would be better to shoot him than to be bothered with carrying him away on account of his helpless condition, and while parleying over the question the(ir captain came in, and after a few words of explanation ho ordered his men out of the house and away, leaving Mr. Rider in charge of the negro "mammie," whom he cautioned to take good care of the sick man. This she did and a few weeks later he was enabled to reach home. This escape was due to the fact that tho rebel captain recognized the helpless man as a brother.

After the close of tho war he returned to Ohio and again went to work at railroading for the C. H. later to the Wabash, and thence to tho L. E. W.

R. and later to the Columbus Sunday 'Creek road, and while on this line he had a remarkable escape from death in a collision which occurred in a tunnel, when a helper engine backed down on his train and the two came together with terrific force, Mr. Rider escaping with only a bad bruise caused by the lever of his engine striking him in the breast. Shortly after this accident he resigned and took up his residence on the farm near Tontagany where he passed his last days. A.

C. WINS AGAIN. Perrysburg won from tho strong Centrals of Toledo, Sunday, 18 to 7. The home boys piled up runs by clean hitting and good base running. Next Sunday the Portage team will bo present and as they are said to bo good players, a good game is anticipated.
