NEW SPRING GOODS.

A Rare Chance for the Ladies'.
1t has been our firm determination
to close out shop, lock, stock and bar
rel by the end of the year, at most,
and we fully expected to do 50.
Without doubt our extreme low
prices were great incentive and
would nave contributed more largely
to the end we sought, but the mild
winter has not alone precluded our
selling out, in the specified time, but
has found us with a goOdly portion of
our stock, carry over.
Coupling this with the fact Of hav-
ing placed our importation order"
for new spring goods prior to our re-
solve to sell out, and the new spring
goods in question having arrived, we
continue TO the end of the season.
Every piece and yard of goods, hOwev-
er, will be sold without reserve at cost
price
Among the new arrivals we might
mention Wooden Dress Goods, Sateens,
White Goods and Lawns, Ginghams,
House Furnishings, Domestic and
Sheetings, Van Dyke Neilings, Van
Dyke EmbrOideries, Van Dyke FlOun-
cings, Van Dyke Laces, all at cost

Our Nations Growth.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 31.-The po-
pulation of the United States, as shown
by the census bulletin issued to-day, is
81, 4S0, $40.
This is exclusive of white persons in
Indian Territory, Indians on reserva-
tons and Alaska These figures may
be slightly changed by later and more
exact compilations, but such changes
will not be material. In 1880 the popu-
lation was so, 155, 7S3. The absolute in
crease of the population in the ten
years intervening was 1924 ,757, and
the percentage of increase was 24.57.
In 1870 the population was stated as
80, 556, 81. According to these figures,
the absolute increase in the decade be-
tween 1870 and 1880 was II .597 ,412. and
the percentage of increase was 3008.
Upon their face these figures show
that the population has increased be-
tween 1880 and 1890 only 726, 345 more
than between 1870 and 1880, while the
rate of increase has apparently dimin-
ished from 3O.O8 to 24.57 per cent. If
these figures were derived from correct
data they would be indeed disappoint-
ing. Such a reduction in the rate of
increase, in the face of the enormous
immigration during the past ten years,
would argue great diminution in the
fecundity Of the population or a cores
ponding increase in its death rate
These figures are, however easily ex-
planned when the character of the data
used is understood. 1t is we'll known,
the fact having been demonstrated by
extensive and thorough investigation,
that the census of 1879 was grossly de-
fcient in the Southern States, so much
~ 10 fOI
rate ra e' Of iii increase Of the population be-
tween 1870 and 1880 in these states, but
to effect very materially the rate of in
crease in the country at large.
The population of Wisconsin is given
at ,693, 697 against 1 1916, 497 in 1880 and
|. O51 $40 in 1870.

A Youthful Culprit and Fire Bug.

Edward Weigel, aged II years, whose
home is on North First street, Second
ward was taken before Justice Halliger,
October 81, under criminal complaint
for having stolen watch, the property
of G. Boehm, and the youthful culprit
was committed to the Reform school at
Waukesha. Other ofenses came out
against him in the examination, such
as stealing dinner pals from the chill
dren of St. Henri's school, from which
it was evident that he required to be
taken care of. Some time before the
boy had been charged with attempting
to set fire to ST. Henri's church, having
sprinkled oil, obtained in the church,
on the floor and then scattered matches
over the surface so that person walk
ing might ignite the matches and set
the blaze going. But Justice Halliger
from his proofs decided that there was
no cause of action and discharged him.
And now comes a startling denoue-
ment. When Deputy Sheriff Graewe
was leaving the Reform school to return
home, young Weigel confessed to him
and the keeper to having set fire to
Paul Herzog's barn and since then
the astounding intelligence is received
that in addition to this burning he adj
mits that he set fire to the factory of
G. B. Lewis & Co. and Geo. W. Evans
livery stable, involving destruction of
some $25, 900 worth of property It may
be this boy is trying to make great
hero of himself, and that his admis-
sions must be taken with some grains
of allowance, but that he is an evil-dis-
posed youth whose presence is danger
Gus to society and should be made to
pass through lengthy penitential
period, will not be disputed.
