OUR POPULATION INCREASING.

The school Census Reveals That Mitchelrs
Population is on the Gain.
There has been decided gain in the
population of Mitchell in the past two
years as indicated by the school census
just completed by Clerk Wallace. Ac-
cordiug to his figures there are 951
school children in Mitchell up to date
as against SS7 in 1898 and SO4 in 1897
Taking the same method of figuring
the town population from the school
census employed by all other towns,
which is five times that of the school
population, it is shown that Mitchell
has 4,755 people. There has been q
gradual increase from year to year
that puts Mitchell right up in the front
rank. In making his house to house
canvass in taking the school censue
Mr.. Wallace said he was not surprised
at the increase of population for there
was not habitable house in town but
but what was occupied. People have
been coming in gradually and the
gro With has been steady so that now
there seems to be limit for further in
crease in population unless more houses
are erected.
In speaking of the apportionmen
Mitchell will receive from the per
manent school fund of the state Mr.
Wallace said the amount would b,
much larger than last year owing tt
the increase in pupils and to the fac
that there is larger amount of mono.
in the fund. Figuring on the SAM
basis as year ago of s4.20 per capit
the amount this year will be SO, 994, bu
the per capita without doubt will b.
increased.

tlemen responded to Invitations to at
tend a piano recital at the home of Mrs.
Maude Silsby Nichols Friday evening
when delightful program music
was rendered by one of her pupils
Florence Leora Winsor, little miss
barely ten years of age. The piano
was placed in the diring room and the
little pianiste was in full view of the
company in the two adjoining rooms.
Those two rooms were without lights,
while the little performer sat in flood
OF light which radiated from over the
piano. She was dressed in q pretty
costume of pink and white silk and
when she appeared for the opening
number she was warmly greeted,
There were ten numbers on the pro.
gram that was played by Florence, one
double and one a triple number. Her
selections were as follows: "Cabaletta,
by Lack; "The Complaint" by schmoll
"Mazurka,' by Chopin; "Funera
March," Hunting Song" by Heller
"Allegro from Sonota in c." "Alleg
retto," by Haydn; "Valkslied, ""Echoe

by Schumann.
These selections gave her quite
range in Interpretation and playing, ant
the little lady rendered each in
charming way. She is possessed Of
remarkable talent in music, and play
with skill not often developed in

was the "Allegretto," by Haydn an,
this, as all others, was rendered in
capable and confidential manner. On
remarkable and praiseworthy featur
was that she played every number O
