Attention is directed to the circular
from Supt. Porter, of the census office,
which we print today. The subject
matter will prove Of special interest
to the medical fraternity, and of gen
eral interest to the public at large. In
this same connection Supt. Porter
writes:
1t is equally important to the coun-
try that thereturns in relation to farm
products and live stock should be full
and correct. This enumerator i'll the
house to house visit he will make dur
ing the month OF June, 1890, is con-
stantly met with the fact that farmers
keep no books and hence returns are
not infrequently guess work. The
census year begins June lst next and
ends May 3lst, 1890. Ii farmers
throughout the country would note
this fact and keep account of the pro-
ducts of their farms during the census
year it would be of material aid in So
curing reliable returns for the Eiey-
enth Census.

WHAT THEY SAY.

Yankton Press: 1t has been stated
by several Washington correspondents
within the past few days that propo-
sition has been submitted to President
Harrison TO the effect that Gov. Mel
lette, who is member of the republi-
can national committee, Delegate
Mathews and the man who may be
chosen chairman Of the Sioux Falls
constitutional convention, which con-
venes July 4th, be accorded the joint
privilege of recommending appoint-
ments for South Dakota 1t is stated
that this proposition is likely to be ac-
cepted. though there is no evidence
that the statement is true. Delegate
Mathews has done we'll enough SO far.
Argus-Leader, democratic: Such an
arrangement might be very gratifying
to Mr.. Harrison, but if he makes it
there is sure to be one of the biggest
free-for-all political rows ever wit
messed in these parts. There WON'T be
anything left but a few tufts of fur
and q reduced republican majority.
Aberdeen News: y cock and bull
story is telegraphed from Washington
to the effect chat the politicians OF
South Dakota are in turmoil over the
distribution of their federal offices.

The recent visit of the Omaha rail-
way officials to this city may have
had some connection with the report
that accompany is planning great
transcontinental line. The Sioux Falls
Press says, concerning this rumor:
This move is unquestionably stimu-
lated to Offset the project of the Sioux
Falls and Pacific Short Line, reference
to which has recently been made.
There is going to be some big hust-
ling before many moons in the matter
of railroad extensions from this re gion

WASHINGTON, ID. e., May 1, 1889.
To the medical profession: The va
rious medical associations and the med
ical profession will be glad to learn
that Dr. John S. Billings, surgeon
United States army, has consented to
take charge of the report on the NOR
taiity and vital statistics of the United
States rs returned by the eleventh
census.
AS the United States has no system
of registration of vital statistics, such
as is relied upon by other civilized
nations for the purpose of ascertaining
the actual movement OF population,
our census affords the only opportun-
ity of obtaining near an approximate
estimate of the birth and death rates
OF much the larger part Of the country,
which is entirely unprovided with any
satisfactory system Of state and mu-
niclpal registration.
In view of this, the census office,
during the month of May this year.
viii! issue to the medical profession
throughout the county "Physician's
Registers" for the purpose of obtain
ing more accurate returns Of deaths
than it is possible for the enumerators
to m axe. 1T is earnestly hoped that
physicians in every part of the country
will cooperate with the census Office
in this important work. The record
should be kept from June /, 1883, to
May 81, 1880. Nearly 260OO OF these
registration books were filled up an(
returned to the Office in 1880, anc
nearly all OF them used for statistical
purposes. 1t is hoped that double this
number will be obtained for thu
eleventh census.
Physicians not receiving register.
can obain them by sending their name.
and addresses to the census Office, and
with the register, an official envelo)
which requires no stamp will be pro
vided for their return to Washington
/ If all medical and surgical practi
tioners throughout the country will
lend their aid, the mortality and vita
statistics of the eleventh census will
be more comprehensive and complet
than they have ever been. Every ply
sician should take personal pride i
having this report as full and accu
rate as it is possible to make it.
1t is hereby promised that all il
formation obtained through thi
source shall be held strictly conlidel

No surer indication OF the steady
growth and ulti nate supremacy of
Sioux City can be found than in the
jealousy betrayed toward her by Des
Moines, Dubuque, Council Bluffs and
Omaha. Sioux City has what neither
of them can boast of-direct connec-
tion with the invigorating life currents
which flow though Dakota. Therefore
she gets there.

The Sioux Falls Press is Of the opin-

Bijou Hills Times: The Mitchell
REpUDL1cAN is published at the home
of Judge Edgerton. Judge Edgerton
aspires to represent the state of South
Dakota in the U. S. senate. 1t is an
honorable ambition. We believe the
REPUBLICAN is doing the canvass of
the Judge great injury in taking the
course it has been pursuing for some
weeks towards President FL. L.. Loucks,
of the farmers alliance.
We belieye the editor of the Times
has no desire but to be fair in his
treatment of matters of public inter-
est, and we think with a clear under
standing of the position of the REPUB-
/ L1cAN on the question under discus
sion he will see that the above COM
ment is unjust and misleading.
5 In the first place, Judge Edgerton
can in no wise be held responsible for
the utterances of this paper concern
( ing Mr.. Loucks or any one else. There
{ fore his canvass for the senatorship
will not be embarrassed because the
REPUBLICAN sees fit to express its
4 sopinions, when and in what manner it
Yis deems proper.
Secondly, the REPUBLICAN is not
I attacking the alliance-unless the
4 Times would have US infer that Loucks
V is the alliance-nor is it antagonizing
the interests of the farmers, OF whom
4 it has ever been a consistent friend.
I'VE are simply attacking the preten-
sions of a man who occupies a place
as the business head of the alliance
and is using it to further the political
ambitions of himself and q little hand
s full Of his satellites. We are doing
Y this in the interest of no individual
but in the interest of the farmers
themselves. We deny that Mr.. Loucks
Is the embodiment of everything that
can conduce to the advantage of the
Il farming community. We believe thai
there are hundreds of menin Dakota,lr
all the walks of life, who are justas eff
ficient advocates of the farmers rights
u sand far more disinterested than Nr
Loucks. We believe that Judge Edg
Nksrton-so long as the Times invites th'
scomparison-can point to career a
:S thoroughly and consistently favorable
s TO the farming interests as can MI
Loucks.
3s3 If to criticise the latter is to attacl
H n, the alliance, and if the alliance has th
power to resent such criticism VIII
4 was 1t that the efforts of this sam
Loucks to defeat George A. Mathew
last fall met with such dismal failure
Because the farmers of Dakota ar
reasonable and reasoning men and ca
not be led bllndly by any schemin
politician or any combination G
scheming politicians. On this yer
point the Times conyicts itself Of Try
Ing to raise false issue, as follows:
"A very large proportion of the farm
ssrs Of the territory are republican, an
3a8 IN sympathy with the national repul
b lican party. They are the majority i
Xthis territory:

The Yankton Press has this to say
Of the proposed extension Of the
Northwestern system through TO the
coast:
If this has happened it is the con-
summation of an arrangement long IN
view. In pushing westward through
Nebraka and Wyoming the North
western has had Boise City, Idaho, as
its objective point, under an under
standing that it would there torn a
connection with the Oregon line, the
purpose being to make the two a
through route from the lakes to the
Pacific ocean. These facts were given
ITO the writer some three years ago,
while travelling in California, by
gentleman occupying confidential re-
lations with the railroads interested.
Inthis event, the Omaha line through
Mitchell would either become the
main line, or would be pushed south
west to connection with the Elkhorn
and Missouri Valley branch in north
ern Nebraska, In either case, Mitch
ell would be largely benefited, because
| it would bring to her doors rich Sec
tion of country now without railroads.

NORTHERN PAGIFIC'S NEW LINE
Work on the C9ur d'Alene Branch Under
VI Great Op~portunIty.

Work On the Coeur d'Alene Branch Under
w~ay-Butte's Great Opportunity.
Thomas Hathaway, of Missoula, arrived
in the city yesterday. He informed a
MINER reporter that work was now in
active progress on the Northern Pacifc's
branch to the Ceur d'Alenes. The road
leaves the main line at De Smet, six miles
west of Missoula, follows the Missoula to
the st. Regis, and then strikes across to
the Ceur d'Aienes, the objective point.
Grading was begun about ten days ago,
and as it is the company's intention to
complete the line as o as possible, dirt
is made to fly at q lively rate.
A resident OF Butte, and who, by the way,
has more push and enterprise in him than
ia contained in a dozen OF some other men
.ruch richer than he il, and whose names
could easily be gwen, heard Mr.. Hathaway
make the. statement. At once his face
lighted up and he remarked, Now here is
Butte's chance, if it only knew it. Some
thing should be done at once to secure the
business which will become tributary to
the city upon completion OF this road. Not
only can Butte easily become a supply
point for the entire section OF country
which the road will open up. but it can also
treat the ores from the mines OF the Ceur
d'Alenes and other mining sections in that
locality. By acting promptly and properly
Butte can make itself a formidable rival to
Spokane Falls in bidding for the business
which the latter city o monopolizes, and
upon which much OF it's future hopes are

Several Persons Cinched for Having Lifted

Judge Newkirk disposed of a number OF
petty larceny cases yesterday which grew
out OF the recent big fire. A majority of
the offenders were discharged upon pay
ment OF nominal fines and costs of prose
cution. One man, a gam was ar
raigned Yesterday and pleaded guilty to
having taken aquantity OF intervention
Hennessy's store, bat said he did not take
tire goods with any criminal intent, that a
number Of persons saw him take them, in
fact some of those present were also help
ing themselves, and that he only took
them after somebody had told him the
goods were valueless and would be carted
to the city dump anyway. After having
picked up the goods he walked down street
with them in his arms and made no
attempt to conceal them. The
mans appearance as he related his story
WAS such as to impress any person of its
truthfulness and when he wound up by say
ing that he was no petty larceny thief, no
matter what else he might be. tears were
scarcely speak. Judge Newkirk said that
only one cause remained for the court, and
that was to impose a fine, inasmuch as the
defendant had admitted tibet he had taken
the goods. He then sentenced the prisoner
to pay a fine of 81 and costs, the least
punishment allowed by law. .

THIEVES At GARRISON.
III Railroad Eating House Robbcd-A
Kid Under Arrest,

The Railroad Eating House Robbcd-A
Kid Under Arrest,
Tuesday afternoon about supper time
the railroad eating house at Garrison was
entered in the absence OF the proprietress,
Mrs. Dubry, and robbed of $50 ia cash and
a pin set with an oblong garnet. Suspicion
fell upon a middle aged man and a 13-year.
old boy who were together there and were
the Iast patrons before the robbery, and
who were particularly obseryant while
they ate their suppers. Officer Mcfarland
followed the pair to Deer Lodge, where he
learned tha5 the kid had bought q necktie
and a pair of shoes. When he arrived in
this city last night, Mcfarland succeeded
iI finding the lad and the shoes
and Decktie, but no trace OF the
man in the case was obtained up to a late
hour last night. The boy gives his name
as Willie Moore, says that he lives in Mis-
soula and that he has a brother working
as a bell boy in n OF the Butte hotels.
He is a most cool-headed youngster, and
tells that be saw the man in question
emerge from q window in the eating house
lat Garrison, and that said nan put q re-
volver to his (the lad's) head and told him
that if he opened his mouth he would be
killed. He describes the man rs middle.
| aged, ordinary size and marked by a
broad scar on the right cheek. The lads
nerve and presence Of mind are admirable,
but he was ocked up and will be taken
back to Garrison this morning.
