GROWTH OF TUE NORTHWEST The
Chicago Post publishes the census re.
turns of Wisconsin by counties, with
the remark
Wisconsin has only been a state OF
the Union only Il little more than
twenty years, having been admitted
on the 10Th Of May, 1913. At the
taking OF her first United States cen
sus after her admission, the popula-
ton was 305, sol so that in twenty
years the people of that prosperous
tate have been more than trebled.
La 1860, there were three of the
Northwestern States, then numer-
ing much less than a million popula-
tian. Which, it was supposed would
show more than a million each in
1870. These were iowa, with GA, ola
people Michigan; with 749, lib; and
Wisconsin with 775,8S1. Expect
alton ia regard to all these states
have been fully justified. Both Iowa
and Michigan will go considerably
over million, and the published
figures make Wisconsin some fifty
thousand in exces of that number

How Indians do Business.

Up in the wids of Cattaragus
county, n. Y. on the Allegheny riv-
er in this State, there dwells the last
remnants of once large and power
fuLtribe of Indians. They live, hunt,
fish, make shingles and rustic chairs,
on which is termed an Indian Reser-
walton. They do business in their
own particular way worship in their
own particular style and evidently
die and are forgotten like the rest Of
mankind.
Not long since one of Erie's old
war horses, Ed, Barber, had occa-
sion to sell to one of the above de-
scribed Indians, whose whole name
was John Sims, a pump. Mr.. Indian
had not the necessary cash, but Of
fered his note for twenty dollars,
payable in twenty days for the prop
erty which Mr.. Barber accepted, and

n@- How respect Tor the old flag
grows in Europe, under the vigorous
administration of President Grant,
In Prussia it is everywhere saluted
with respect and oven affection
while in France it is greeted with
shout of enthusiasm. All over the
Old World it is hailed as a sign Of
hope and promise. Americans seem
to pass freely about in the midst of
war, while other nationalities are but
little respected, and meet with rough
usage. See Minister Washburne
opening the prison-houses for hun
dreds of Germans in Paris, on the re-
putation Of his country, and Minister
Bancroft doing some of the same
kind of work in Berlin. 1t is the
old flag that speaks, and it is heard.
Yet it is scarcely five years ago that
the largest part of the Democratic
party in this country was engaged in
open war to dishonor and destroy it
and even now they rail against its
defenders.

End of the Pope's Temporal Powe r.

After more than thousand years
of temporal rule, more or less exten.
sivo, the end has come at last and
the "infalible" head of the Roman
Catholic Church will hereafter, if be
is as wise as his infallibility would
indicate, confine himself to the spir.
itual needs of his people. At first
view, it may be inferred that the loss
of the temporal power will work in
Jury to the Catholic Church but
this is not, aud need not necessarily
be the case. We are inclined to
think that after the Church becomes
reconciled TO the change, she will
enter upon new and moro useful
career. As spiritual head of the
Church her authority is supreme,
and no political changes can in the
least affect her power in this direc-
ton, providing she keeps pace with
the advancing progress of civiliza-
ton. The Catholic Church possess
es elements of power which are not
exercised by the Protestant Church
es. While its forms and ceremonies
are looked upon with contempt by
enlightened Christians, it must be
confessed that they are, in the hands
of the Catholics, powerful instru-
ments for the conversion of unbeliev-
ers. Among heather and half civil
lied people, the Catholics make
much more rapid progress in gain
ing converts than do the Protest
ants. A part OF this success may be
attributed to the attractiveness of
the Catholic forms and ceremonies
of worship; they appeal to the phys
zeal senses Of the heathens, while
the purely spiritual food offered by
the Protestant missionaries is impal-
pablo to their touch, sight and taste,
and utterly incomprehensible to
their minds. The Catholic Church,
moreover, is probably the most per-
feet organization in existence Its
working poweris tremendous all its
votaries are heart and soul in their
work. There are no serious divis-
ions in it; all are combined to labor
for a common end. It's cardinals,
priests, aHd its members are Jealous,
and there is no turning to the right
nor the left in carrying out what APP
pears to be for the interest of the
Church. These advantages combin-
ed give them q strength that the ia
king away of the temporal power
cannot weaken. Now, If the Church
sees its opportunities, and abandons
the worn out, effete dogmas that
were suited only to the dark ages,
with its influence, it's organized ma
chinery, its jealous workers, it may
do more than it has ever yet done
toward the Improvement of the
world. 1t has the clements of great
er strength than it could possess by
any such temporal power as it has
enjoyed for the last century. 1t
should be content to rest its founda-
ton upon the rock Peter instead of
trusting to tho rock Napoleon

A TOUCHING INCIDENTAL CORES
pendent Of the Indianapolis Journal
relates touching incident that oc-
Cured at Evansville last Monday,
while Voorhees, was making a speech.
When he came to the soldier part of
his speech, he desired, if there were
any pensioners in his audience they
would rise. One solder who had
lost his eyesight arose. This gave
Dan chance to spread himself, and
in an eloquent strain ho spoke of
this poor soldier, who by the cas-
ulties OF war had lost his sight. The
light of day was shut from him, the
sun rose and set and he kenned it not,
&c. Getting through with the blind
man, and happening to drop bis eyes
we'll to the front, he discovered Phil
lips, the one-legged Democratic can
didate for Recorder, with one leg,
another illustration of the result of
the war. | do not know in W hat en-
gagement Mr.. Phillips lost his leg
but here he is MANNED for life. "Mr.
Phillips, where did you lose your
leg y 81 lost it in threshing ma
chine" 1t is said it was hard to tell
which was the worst wounded just
| then, the man or Dan.

ROBBERY In NEVADA.
A Passenger Train Seized by Eight
Masked Men.


Special Dispatch to the Missouri Democrat
RENO, November 5.-The Central Pa
cifc passenger train bound eastward,
due here at | am, arrived at Verdi, a
small station eleven miles west of Reno,
on time. Just as the train was starting
from the station three masked men
boarded the express car, and five more
Immediately came to their aid from the
rear. These five evidently came from the
west on the train. Six stepped on the
express car, which they detached from
the main train by cutting the signal
rope. Two jumped on the engine, and
placing pistols to the engineer head,
commanded him to move on, which he
did. Two brakemen tried to keep the
masked men off the car, but pistols
placed at their heads compelled their re-
treat. The conductor rushed forward,
but pistols stopped him. Finding a
hatchet, he came forward again in time
to see the engine and express car sepa-
rated from the train and flying down the
track.
The robbers then placed the fireman
and express and mail messengers in the
mail room and locked them up. When
within six miles of this city they stopped
their train, broke open the express boxes
and robbed them of 81 600 in gold coin.
A later investigation shows that they
put the coin in old boot tops and es-
capped to the mountains.
A double-barreled shotgun and pick
were left by the robbers at the quarry,
where they opened the boxes.
All the telegraphs were cut west of
Reno. Two of the Western Union wires,
however, we're repaired by daylight, and
business is not interrupted. Parties are
searching the mountains, and will prob
ably be able to throw more light on this
bold robbery during the day.
The railroad wires are still down.

Death of Governor shaner.

FROM the Otin hcporlcrs OctODer 81.
By telegraph in another column it will
be seen that his Excellency j. Wilson
Shaffer, Governor of this Territory, died
early this morning. This sad intelli-
gence was not altogether unexpected.
Since his first arrival in Utah it has been
apparent to all his friends that consump-
ton had marked him for his victim; and
though his health appeared to improve
in the early summer, 1t was but deluding
phase Of that tlattering disease. His
estimable lady died soon after he as
sumed the duties of his office here, and
on his return from the last sad offices Of
affection, il was too evident that few
months would suffice to rennite them.
OF deceaseds family we know but little
his brother and two children have been
with him at Salt Lake City for some
time before his death. But ten months
have elapsed since Governor Shaffer
first received his appointment, and but
six since he arrived and entered upon
his duties; yet in that short space of
time he has become endeared to the loyal
people of Utah, and his brief administra-
ton fills the brightest page thus far in her
history. He was at once firm and con-
ciEatory, and while all who approached
him personally could have none but the
kindest feelings toward him, he yet knew
the rights and duties Of his position, and
was dnyielding in his determination TO
uphold and perform them. Being human
he probably made some mistakes; but
suffice il 10 say that we never saw a Gov
ernor who made so few, or whose ad-
ministration gave such general satisfac-
ton. He was taken away at time when
his course had secured the respect Of all
parties; and we can but consider his
death, not merely a loss to his family and
friends, but a calamity TO the Territory
and TO the pablic service. To the orphan
children and relatives, we can only ten
der our sincere sympathy,

Translated from the French Of Millevoye. b,
Edward B. Heaton.
Autumn hath strewn earth's beauteous fact
With all the wardrobe of the woods;
The groves have no mysterious trace
The nightingale in silence broeds.
0'er Natures face, from morn to morn.
-. A deadly pallor slowly steals;
The woods So dear, of beauty shorn,
The stealthy ravager reveals.
Once more, to view the forest lone,
His feeble way youth pursued;
For Death had marked him for his own,
And chilled the current of his blood.
"Adieu, beloved groves. / fall! ~ Dffft l
In your sad fate my end i see; f
Each falling leaf doth solemn call
In syllables of death to me.
Stern, fatal. Epidaurean seer,
To me thou say'st The forest leaf
Shall golden in thine eyes appear
But once again, thy hour so brief.
Th' eternal cypress thee surrounds,
Paler than autumn's features pale,
Thou bendest to the tomb's dread bounds;
There soon thy ieeting youth shall fail
Fer yet the meadows verdant smile,
Or branching vines the hills adorn,
die Deaths touch shall ease my toll.
And life shall be no moro forlorn.
As a frail shadow have seen
Life's opening springtime fee away.
Or leaves that clothe the woods in green
And vanish in autumn day.
Fall, fall, brief leaves. hide the sad day.
My grave let not affection see;
In thickest shades obscure the way
In which to- morrow | shall be.
But If along the lonely walk,
When the day fees my love shall'come,
All desolate, to weep, U y talk
Consoling numbers round my tomb"
Thus mourned youth, and ere the trees
Disrobed were. his knell was rung,
And the crisp leaves stirred by the breeze
His requiem in whispers sung,
Beneath an oak they laid him down
The last leaf fell with mOurnful tune.
Nor love comes there, to weep, or crown
With cypress pale the lonely stone.
But stiffness reigns, nor sob nor moan
Wakes those dun aisles. funeral gloom;
The village pastor steps alone
Disturb the silence Of the tomb.

A bourbon manifesto.

The Bourbons still entertain hopes of
ascending the throne of France, and the
Count de Chambord, under date of 0cto-
Der 9th, and from the Swiss frontier, has
addressed a manifesto to Frenchmen,
setting forth that for the fourth time
within less than half a century, their
political institutions have collapsed, that
once more their .destinies are in their
own hands. The Count de Chambord
declares that he is ready to devote his
whole self to the protection and happi-
ness of his country, and asserts that
France will again lift up her head, if en-
lightened by the teachings of experience
and weary of SO many fruitless endea-
vors, she will consent to enter again on
the path which Providence has marked
out for her He counsels the French
people not to be led away by fatal illu.
sions, and alleges that republican insti-
tutions will never take root in the mon
archial soil of France.
In conclusion, he states that all his
ambition is to found a truly national
government, with right for its basis, hon
esty for the principle of its administra-
ton, and moral greatness for its end.
Henry, Count de Chambord and Duke
Bordeaux, is the Oldest son Of Ferdi-
nand, Duke de Berry, the second son Of
Charles Y. At the time OF the French
revolution of 1880, Charles X. abdicated,
and his eldest son, the Dauphin Louis,
renounced his rights 10 the crown Of
France in favor of the Duke de Bor-
deaux, whose father, the Duke de Berry,
had died in 1920. The French people,
however, declined to accept the new
monarch, and elected Louis Philippe
King of the French Charles X, his
son and grandson then withdrew to Ven
ice, and resided in that city and at
Frohsdorf, in Lower Austria. The Duke
of Bordeaux, in his exile, adopted the
title of Count de Chambord. He was
born on September %, 1920, and in lS46
was married to the Archduchess Theresa,
Of Austria, Este, the eldest daughter of
KrsHeis w, Duke Of Modens.

TaIing a Drink ConndcntinIIy.

A traveller in Nevada tells story of a
family which consisted of the husband,
his wife and two grown sons The old
lady was the only one of the family who
did not take little of the 20, be joyful. "
Sitting by the fire few minutes, the old
man tipped wink, and the visitor fol-
lowed him out. Stopping by shed, he
pulled out long-necked bottle, remark
ing: II have to Keep this hid, for the boys
might get to drinking, and the old woman
would raise the devil" " They took drink
and returned to the hreside. Soon Tom,
the eldest son, asked the visitor to see the
horses, and, taking him behind the barn,
pulled out flask, saying, Il have to keep
this hid, for the old man will get drunk,
and then the devil is to pay" and they
both took drink and returned. Soon
Bob stepped on the visitors toe and
walked off, the visitor following. As
they reached the pig-pen, Bob drew out
a good-sized bottle, remarking: You
know the old man and Tom will get
drunk, and have to hide this"
Our friend concluded he could not
stand it to drink confdentially against
the whole family, and started back to
Gold Hill.
