Our Exact. Geographical Center.

An army officer now in Chicago asked
the other day: do you know where the
exact geographical center Of the United
States is: Never thought anything about
l., probably Well. it's marked by a
grave-that of Maj. Ogden. of the United
States army. who died at Fort Riley, in
Kansas, in 1855, during the cholera epi-
nemic Of that year. Maj. ogden's .
mains were sfterward removed to Fort
Leavenworth and buried in the National
cemetery there, but his monument still
stands ON a knoll little to the northeast
Of the post-Fort Riley-and il lifts its
head toward the clouds in the exact geo
graphical center of the United States.
This isn't a conceit; it's a fact, though
probably Of the hundreds Of men now at
the fort not one in hundred ever stops
to think about it. Fort Riley is few
miles cast Of Junction City, Kan, and is
ene of the most important cavalry posts
N the country. Chicago Tribune.

Contract Labor Matters,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Represen.
tative Ford. OF the committee on con-
tract labor, returned to Washington
this morning. Speaking Of the results
of the "trip to-day Mr.. Ford said: IL
do not believe that we shall make re
port until the entire investigation is
completed, and We have more import
ant testimony to take, but what We
have taken has convinced the commit
tee that something positive must be
done. The laws relating to contrsct
labor have been violated TO an alarm
ing extent because of the lack Of ma
chinery to enforce them. The whole
of Italy is flooded with steamship
agents who are telling lies about the
United States TO induce emigration,
One of the facts brought to light incl
dentally was that naturalization papers
are being issued fraudulently TO an
alarming extent. Another fact devei-
oped was that the New England fish
ermen, about whose rights we have
had so much trouble, are really made
up Of aliens 10 the extent Of 75 per
cent. As to the remedy, although we
shall undoubtedly recommend some
legislation, the committee has not
agreed upon the form it shall take.
One form, which II appears to me
would be effective, would require a
man to declare bis intention OF becom-
ing an American citizen six months
before leaving his native country.
That would enable the nearest Ameri.
can consul or agent TO inquire into his
character and ascertain whether or not
be is criminal or psuper. Again,
some members favor tax OF about 500
on each immigrant, but can't agree
TO that plan.n
