u.n.aas Census All Wrong,

OTTAWA, Oct. T.-The accuracy Of the
census taken in April has been repeated
ly questioned by several cities and towns,
which, in several instances, have had the
census retaken at their own expense, with
the result that the population Is establish
ed to be from 20 to 80 per cent larger than
shown by the government census. Enum-
orators have been criminally negligent in
some sections. This is accounted for by
the poor compensation awarded them,
which was cents per name.

to Prosper.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, Oct a6.-The sub
treasury party, which is very strong in
Montague county, held meeting Friday
and adopted some remarkable resolutions
The preamble sets forth that, on account
of the scarcity of money and because of
the fact that prices are lower than pro-
ducers desire to take, congress be de-
manded to pass bill that shall embody
the following features:
SECTION /. That any person who owes more
money than he can pay and who makes affida-
Wit 10 that effect. properly attested by two of
the creditors who want their pay, and who
makes application TO the secretary of the inte-
rior shall receive from the secretary sufficient
money to pay all debts
Money at Your Own Price.
SEC Q Any person who owes more money
than he can pay. but who wants to hold his
property until he can sell at an advantageous
price, shall be entitled TO the privilege of Sec
ton one.
SEC 3. Any person owing nothing, but who
wants more money than he sees good chance
of obtaining on account of the prevailing
financial system of robbery and oppression,
who makes application to that effect and states
what rate per cent he is willing to pay, and if
he thinks he can pay at all, shall make such
application to the secretary, who shall refer
the matter to an advisory board to consist of
three. who shall fix the amount to be ad-
vanced the applicant In no case, however,
shall he receive less than three-quarters of the
sum applied for nor be charged higher rate
of interest than he is willing to pay.
An Unnecessary Section.
SEC. 4. The secretary of the interior shall
keep a record of the names of those making
applications the amounts loaned, etc, and in
case any one fails to pay he shall
not receive more than so per cent on next ap-
plication. But of course everybody win pay,
for money will be plentiful.
SEC 5. The secretary shall supply applicants
with blanks at each postoffice and the applica-
ton shall be forwarded free of postage.

A romantic story was revealed In
Boston In a contest over the $500, 600
estate OF the late Samuel WEIGH, who
lived In so many places that the Pro-
bate Judge doesn't know where to
locate his legal resideoce. For years a
fine-looking brick house on Elm street,
Somerville, has remained untenanted,
its windows and doors heavily barred
against entrance by any one except
the possessor of the key. ALI sorts of
ghost stories have been conjured up
about this house, and everybody who
lived In the neighborhopd was con-
WINGED that the house was haunted. II
had that reputation, anyway, and
tinlld women and children always
went q block out of their way to avoid
passing 1t at night.
The ghost stories vanished in the
light OF to-days revelations. The
house was built by Mr.. WEIGH years
ago with the proceeds of q lottery
prize which he had drawn. He was ell
gaged to he married to all estimable
young woman, and the wedding day
had been appointed. When the intend
ed bride heard that the foundation OF
his wealth had been laid through lot
terry Investment she refused to marry
him. Mr.. Welch Immediately barred
up the house, which had Just been
completed, and never would give his
consent to its being occupied. He then
led a rowing life in Massachusetts and
New Hampshire, where he passed the
greater part OF his time. Mayor Pope,
of Somerville, was appointed admins
TRAITOR OF the estate, which he will dis.
tribute among alarge number of heirs.

With view of improving the roads
OF his section Mr.. A. j. Cassatt became
a candidate some time ago for Road
Supervisor. At that time Philadel-
phia gentleman, looking for "a suburban
residence, hired q carriage and driver
in Lower Merton Township, which is
Mr.. Cassatt's bailiwick. He was being
driven over one of the inferior high
ways when u great portion of the
muddy road splashed up into his face.
The roads are bad,n he remarked.
Yes; but there's Il fellow running
for supervisor now that says he will
make them better. His names Cassatt,
| think, and he lives over there among
the big bugs, We poor people would
rather elect some poor man who would
look after the taxes, but the rich fel.
lows over there will elect him."
What does a man like him want an
office OF that kind FOL? There can't be
any money IN IL for him." said the
stranger.
Can't, chr said the driver, con-
temptuously. why, he can make a
