IS, ,459, ,e2s. has now risen to 81, G0eoo, with
out taking into consideration the immi-
grafton, estimated at an average of 15O,-
900 a year, making an addition in the
last seventeen years of 2,55o,0 COO The
population is almost evenly divided be-
tween the sexes, there being a majority
of about $4,000 men.
The area of the kingdom being 2S6, GAS
square kilometers, there is an average of
10 souls to each square kilometer which
is one of the highest averages in tbe
world. When one thinks that in the last
twenty years births have diminished for
every 1,000 inhabitants in France from 26
to %, in Switzerland from A-3 to 27-7, in
Sweden from 30.4 to 2S.4 in Belgium from
31.3 to 293 in England from 35-3 to 3l.3.
in Holland from 35.1 to 1874, in Bavaria
from 37.5 to $50, and in Prussia from 3i-9
to 37.2. it is surprising that in Italy,
which is much poorer, the births have
increased TO BIG per 1,000. and show ten
dency further TO increase. This excess
of population. when the means of living
are less than are required. constitutes a
painful phenomenon from the humani
tartan point of view. and very danger
Gus one from the political and social
points of view.

IN PREACHERS GARD
Sam Smith and Tom Wynn
Brought Here From Nowata
CAUGHT IN MUD HOLE
Smith Makes Desperate Effort
to Escape,

Marshal SID Brakeman, of Leon, with
Wells-Fargo Special Agent Harding. ar
rived here yesterday with Sam Smith and
Tom wynn, the outlaws who are wanted
for stealing horses in Sumner and Sedg-
wick counties and attempting to rob the
WeIls-Fargo safe at Andover on Saturday
night. July Is. The train stopped at An
dover for few minutes and the people
who witnessed the attempted hold-up
came to the train and identified both the
men. An old white hat which the men
lost on the night of the robbery on the
prairie near Andover was put on Smiths
head and instantly he threw his hand
over his mouth and refused to look at the
crowd. When Smith was caught he had
on a plug hat and was dressed TO initiate
a clergyman as nearly as he could. Mar
shall Brakeman, who lives at Leon, beyond
Andover, was the man who first suggested
the clue that led to the finding and cap
ture of the men. He was accompanied 20
Nowats, twenty-four miles south of Cot
feyville, by the Frisco and Wells-Far2o
special men. Wynn, the half-breed, was
captured while riding though an alley,
and damned into jail. Smith, as Rev
Blank was IN a private house and the
officers had located him. When the man
of the house was notified that Smith was
wanted he told Smith that they were
after him and he would have to get out
as some OF his family were sick and he
didn't want any shooting. Smith few out
at the back door with double-barreled
shot gun and ran headlong into a creek
some 200 or 800 yards away. Several shots
were fired. Smith lost his gun in the
water of the creek. When he saw that he
could go no further without being caught
he lay down in mud hole and attempted
TO get out sight in the slush and bushes.
He is a short, straight fellow with almost
no mustache, though his mustache was
always mentioned in connection with his
scrapes. He Is not a pleasant looking
man in any respect. The Indian looks
very little like an Indian and is even
smaller than Smith.
Today they will be taken to El Dorado,
the Frisco robbery having occurred in
Butler county. Both men escaped from
the penitentiary on June "A.
