Here you have the figures of a
basis of calculation. The problem
now is: What will be the population
of the United States, excluding recent
acquisitions. The result is usually
announced in July of the census year.
The WEEKLY ENQUIRER is anxious
to engage all in a study of their coun-
Try. To this end it will distribute
cash amounting to $z5, 900, for solu-
tons received of the population of the

We copy the following from the
Amanda Herald, and feel sure the
plan is certainly original: Francis
Reichelderier, clerk of the Amanda
school board, has originated a plan,
which he thinks an excellent one,
and asks the cooperation cf all in
the district. He advocates buying
leo acres of land adjoining the school
grounds, then have the boys work as
well as 60 to school; and for the
girls, build Kitchens and have them
learn dOmestics az we'll as study 10
school; then everybody in the dis
trict is to 50 there each day for a
free dinner. He thinks the plan, if
carried out, will increase the popula-
ton of Amanda to 5000 or 10000
in a year or two. Tarlton, Oakland

Mr.. McCleary says that there was
much INSTRUMENTATION in regards to
the aims and purposes of the Porto
Rico tariff measure, and that he be-
lieved that.when it was understood
by the people the opposition to 1t
would subside. He added that in
conversations with persons in Wash
ington who should know of the terms
of the bill he found that many peo-
pie believe that It imposes taxes
upon the Porto Ricans for the oene-
fit Of the United States, while, in
fact, the bill is to raise revenue
which will go into the treasury of
the island. Mr. McCleary believes
the bill provides the best means for
raising the revenue needed for the
island.

When the obnoxious Is per cent.
Porto Rican tariff law passed the
house Senator Nelson at once an
nounced his determination to oppose
the tariff with all the vigor that he
could muster, and he has since been
loading himself for the occasion.
Senator Davis, the more profound
student, has appeared with an
amendment to constitution that
will take in Porto Rico asa territory
of the United States, and place it on
the same footing with Alaska. New
Mexico, Arizona and other United
States divisions. This is regarded
as clever bit of craftsmanship by
all who have read the amendment,
and Senator Nelson favors giving it
the right-of- way in the Senate.
Senator Davis is now on his third
term in the United States Senate.
and for years past has been a power
in the Senate. Senator Nelson is
serving his first term and his rec
ord is one to be.envied by his en-

A DIRTY ATTACK.

Our esteemed Jail contemporary,
edited by the postmaster at Red
wood Falls, made an outrageous and
unjustifable attack upon Mr.. A. E.
Hutchinson of sVesta, secretary of
the Redwood. County Land Co. of
Vesta, in the issue of that paper last
week. simply because Mr.. Hutchin-
son saw fit to give the publication
of the articles of incorporation of
his company. private corporation,
to THE GAZETTE.
Our Jail contemporary editor and
publisher was asked for price on
the publication of the articles of
Incorporation, before the same was
submitted to the publishers of The
GAZETTE. With that business in
telligence for which he is so we'll
known by his associates, he offered
to do the work for one-fourth of
legal rates. The members of the
company wanted.the articles pub
lished in The GAZETTE and after con
sidering everything in connection
with the two papers Mr.. Hutchin-
son decided to turn the articles
over to this paper for publication.
But the'postmaster editor became
aware of the fact that he was not to
publish the articles, and decided to
libel Mr.. Hutchinson for his actions.
Ignorant of the facts, he accused
Mr.. Hutchinson of being in league
with this paper to defraud the vii

THEepRIMARY LAW.

The attention of voters of all par
ties is called to that portion of the
primary law which provides that
mo person shall, during any one calendar
year, vote at the primary election OF more
than one political party"
This means that if you are a Dem
ocrat this year and vote at the first
Democratic primary that you will
not be allowed, under pain of in
dictment and trial, to vote or offer
to vote at any other political party
primary. It means that if you are
a Prohibitionist and participated in
a Prohibition mass or delegate con-
vention, or at a Prohibition pri-
mary, that you cannot vote at the
primary of Democratic, Republi-
can or Populist party. The same
rule applies to Republicans and
Populists, and inasmuch as the law
on this matter is very strict, the
precinct voters anxious to vote at
the primaries Of all parties, and es-
pecially the Republican party,
should bear the fact well in mind.
It is well-known that at the pri-
maries of two years ago there was
quite packing Of members of oppo-
site political faith, possibly to pro-
mote the interests of this or that
candidate. Every honest candidate
will see that the primary law is en-
forced this year.

Sunshine and influenza.

In view of the known bactericidal
Influence of sunlight it would not be
surprising to learn that an inverse re-
lation exists between the amount of
sunshine and the prevalence Of infec-
tious diseases. providing, however, the
temperature is not excessive. Some
observations recorded by Ruheman
appear TO indicate that influenza is
more prevalent when the amount of
sunshine is less, and it is not impos-
sible that a similar rule would be
found to apply to other infectious dis
eases also. In the eight years from
1893 to 1900 the number of hours of
sunshine during the month of Janu-
airy, when influenza was exceedingly
prevalent, was between 9.8 in 1900,
and 1878 in 1899-the mean being
1854. A similar state of affairs was
observed in Madgeburg, where from
1882 to 1900 the number Of hours OF
sunshine varied during the same
month between 10 in 1900 and 86.3 in
1883. Similar figures were obtained
in observations made in other cities
of Germany.-Philadelphia Medical
Journal.

a horror of small boy ~confederates,
and no wonder. On one occasion he
was performing in London, and, Dor.
rowing half a crown from one of the
audience, he placed it in the center Of
an orange. The idea of the trick was
for the coin to disappear and find it's
way into the pocket of a youngster at
some distance from the stage. Mr.
Hertz, at the proper moment, called
upon a boy in the crowd to produce it.
Fumbling in his pockets for a moment

The value of q good-natured laugh
may be rated low by some people,
but many writer's have attested its
worth in no measured terms.
= is not surprising that the merry
Charles Lamb should have said, "a
laugh is worth q hundred groans in
any Market" but from the lips of the
sombre Carlyle one is scarcely pre-
pared to hear, mo man who has
once heartily and wholly laughed can
be altogether or irreclaimably bad"
It was Douglas Jerrold who boldly

but q succession of laughs, a chromatit
scale of merriment reaching from
Garth to Olympus"

OFFICIAL CROP REPORT.
Reduction Of Area of Winter Wheat-Con-
ditioh 60 Points Above the Average.

WASHINGTON. D. G., observation-disclosures
to the Statistfcian of the Department OF
Agriculture, made up to May /, show the
area under winter wheat In cultivation on
that date to have been about 26. 585. 600
acres, or 5 1865, 600 or 11.8 per cent. less
than the area estimated to have been sown
last fall. The reduction in acreage In the
principal States, owing to winter killing
q the ravages OF the Hessian fly. is as
follows: Indiana, 1850, 900; Ohio, 969, 900:
Michigan, 81, 900: Pennsylvania. 1853. 200.
and Illinois, 49,, 600 acres. For the area
remaining under cultivation the average
condition on May / was 1873. While this
average Is 81 points above the mean OF the
averages OF the last ten years and has been
exceeded only three times In fifteen years
1t must be remembered that the acreage
plowed up or cut for forage, except in
California, where 1t Is not yet definitely
ascertainable, or otherwise abandoned, has
been entirely eliminated.
Spring blowing Is more or less late In
almost every State In which its condition
Is q matter Of any special Significance.
The only notable exceptions are Pennsyl-
vania, Kentucky. Illinois. Kansas, Missouri
and Arkansas. The work already done in
the country at large Is estimated at 68.4
per cent. OF the total contemplated, the
proportion usually done by May ! being
about rs per cent. of the whole. In South

The copper mines OF Sinai are the

from about 5000 years B. O., until
1900 or 1900 B. @. They had been
abandoned for 5000 years on account
of poverty of the ore. From these
mines Pepi L., a King OF the sixth

wear brooches, are of the decided pear
shape. They are very loose about the
hips and thighs and fit snugly under
the knee. The knee buttons are
closely spaced and the vent is in front

shin bone. The breaches are made
of tweeds or rough cheviots and are
best in dark grounds with a neat hair

Novel Method to Prevent Collapse OF q
Prisoner Awaiting Execution.
WILLIAMsPoRT, Penn. (Special).-Sherif
Miller has taken an unusual course to pre-
vent murderer William Hummel from
breaking down while awaiting execution.
Hummel is to be hanged on June S. Some
time ago bis appetite left him and the jail
physician had doubts OF his living until

Sheriff. Miller acc ordingiy arranged a
system Of exercise for the prisoner. Daily
ne jumps over a broomstick three feet
from the floor, and occasionally he turns
forward and backward handsprings and
walks on his hands from one end OF the
corridor to the other. Hummel's appetite
has returned under this treatment and he
is In good spirits.
