The school census just completed
at Chicago give the city popula-
tion of 703,S17, an increase during
the past year of 10000. This makes
Chicago the fourth city on this. con-
tinent, New York, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia ahead. The first APP
pearance of Chicago was in 1910
with population of 4,479. In 1850
she had 29,963, then she began to
grow. In 1S60-l09, 260, in 1870
27S,997, in 1SSO-5O3, ,1S5. No other
city has had such wonderful
growth. Twenty distinct railroads
now run into Chicago. No doubt
that in 1900 Chicago will be the
second city Of the western hemis-
phere.

is that the indictment upon which
CUTTING was convicted was for libel

which convicted him had no juris-
diction and CUTTING was right in

must be released, and no doubt will
be.
