M. Meyer Alleges That Justice Nichols
is P~rejudiced.

Mr.. Meyer wants Justice J. M. Lewis
OF Walkerville to send the case of the
state versus M. D. Elderkin to some other
court besides that of e. A. Nichols of this

it up with an affidavit in which he alleges
that Elderkin is charged with assault in
the third degree n he is the prosecuting
witness; that no ffidavit asking for a

case is to be sent to- 2. A. Nichols, who is
greatly ~prejudiced against him; that he,
Meyer, has reason to believe n does be.

the fact that he is so prejudiced againat

Meyer says further that he is very
much interested in the case because he
is the one upon whom the assault was
made. and that the justice may tax him
up with the costs in case a verdict is
rendered in favor of the defendant. He
says Lewis has refused to send the case

ECLIPSE WAS OBsCURED.
Clouds Prevented Butte's Early Risers
From Witnessing Phenomenon.

The great eclipse of the sun which was
by the Butte Miner and Ana
conda Standard to arrive in Butte at an
ealiy hour TINS morning was a huge fiz-
zle SO far as Butte was concerned. and
une dozen or more scientists of the city
VINO remained up all night to view it
.nrough the bottom of a beer glass were
doomed to disappointment, owing to the
murky condition of the heavens.
:. There was probably an eclipse all right,
put nobody could be found today who
mad observed it. S. Robert Fair had a
nuge telescope trained on the eastern
horizon from his bed room window an
before the sun was due to arrive. He
also had a d ready to take a snap
snot at the phenomenon, but the clouds
inter vened. It is said that several gen
tlemen climbed the Big Butte at mid
night armed with telescopes and a few
bottfes OF powerful stimulant. They
claimed to have seen not only the eclipse.
but several new stars hitherto unknown
to astronomers.

THE QUESTION OF THE CENSUS

The objects OF the federal census are
of three kinds: To furnish q basis lor

numbers. wealth, and industry; ana to
investigate the social organizations and
institutions which determine the growth
nf nnnn,ation and wealth. The first IS a
constitutional necessity, the second a
study of facts, and the third a study OF
causes. a
Probably no social institution Is SO
Intimately connected with the grown u
population as that of marriage. IN IN
y%estigating martial conditions the law
reouires about ach person a statement
whether he or she is single, married,
widowed, or divorced: if married, now
many years the marriage has lasted; II a
mother, how many children she has had.
and o many of these children are no"
living. 80,
From the answers to the questions it is
possible to determine the birth rate, the
prevalence of marriage, the proportion OF
women and children to the whole popu-
lation, the duration and fruitfulness OF
marriage. So far as the power and I'M
portance of nations are dependent upon
the size of the population, to that extent
is the accurate determination of these
questions a matter of public necessity.
In the United States there would seem
to be little danger of a decline in ne
population. But even when we are sure
that the population is growing, it is still
necessary to know how it is. growing.
The millions of India are increasing, but
it is by a process of many births and
many deaths. In good years millions are
born: in times of famine millions die, the
population increasing because a rev more
are born thar die. 1t is growth, but saw
age growth. There is a more excellent
kind of process, that resulting from the
combination of a moderate birth rate
and a small death rate.
The marital statistics collected by the
census are in many respects very inter-
esting. Thus, the extent and power OF
the anti-martail forces a be estimated
in a way by ascerta1ning the proportion
of people between IS and "a years of age
who nave never been married. Census
statistics show that the proportion of UNI
married females " these ages is
greatest in the east, in North Carolina,
Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, for
instance, while the proportion is smallest
in the west, South Dakota, Utah, and
Oklahoma bringing up the rear in the
order named. Men, on the contrary, are
far more likely to remain single in the
west than in the east. The proportion
of unmarried men between SIS and "a
is lowest in the southern states, e. g.,
Arkansas. Alabama, and Georgia, and
greatest in the block of western states
west of the Mississippi. In Nevada 1872
per cent of the males between SIS and 81
have never been married, Idaho coming
next with 32.4 per cent, Montana next
with 29.5 per cent, etc.
That marriage is still pre-eminently the
sphere of women seems to be eradicated
by the fact that more women marry han
