CENTER OF pePuLATIon.
Recent Census Shows Star of Empire
Still Moving Westward.

Westward the star Of empire still
wends is way. The census of 1900 will
show that the center Of population of the
United States has moved some distance
nearer the Pacific coast. Officials of the
census office say the pivotal point OF the
great American population is still fol-
lowing the sun in its course and keeping
pace with Bishop Berb aley's star OF
prophecy.
The westward movement of this most
interesting mathematical spot has not
been as great during the decade Just
ended as in past decades, but it is high
~ important to know that the trend OF
the past hundred years has not come to
a full stop with the close of the nine
tenth century.
From data already in hand it is rough
ly estimated that the center of popula-
tion during the last decade has been
about twenty miles to the west and
eight miles to the north of the center in
1870 Ten years ago the center was near
the town of Greensburg, Ind. It Is
now in the vicinity of Columbus, Ind,
probably no more than six or seven miles
from that city in northerly direction.
Only the official calculations upon the
completion of the census can accurately
locate it, but this is near enough for all
practical purposes.
The westward march of the center o.
population since the foundation of the
republic is shown in the following table:

my consists of 1885 officers and 63,S61
enlisted men, and the volunteer army OF

A FIRE accompanied with terrible fatal
ity occurred at Poplar Bluff, No, result
ing in the total destruction OF the Clifford
House, n large three-story frame build
ing. Four persons are known to be
dead, two were fatally injured and one IS
missing. The fire originated in the rear
Of the hotel, and in few minutes
the building was mass of fames
There were in the neighborhoed OF
forty-five guests in the building. and
the porter, the only person awake in the
hotel, was unable to give an alarm, the
smoke and flames driving him back. The
guests on the second and third floors were
caught like rats in trap, the flames pre-
venting their escape by the stairs, and
they leaped from the second aud third
story windows Many of the guests had
hair breadth escapes and ran from the
doomed building clad only in their night
clothes, losing everything they possessed
in the world. Numerous feats Of hero
ism are recorded, and if some Of the7tnale
guests had not aided the women the
death list would be larger. The Clifford
House was one of the oldest hotels in
southeast Missouri, and had been cen-
sidered a death-trap for a number of
years. w. +. Norrid was the proprie-

the town marshal in jail and proceeded TO
rob u bank. Marshal Thompson accosted
the men, four in number, and asked them
10 explain their presence, and they as
serted that they were looking for hotel.
He was thus thrown off his guard for a
moment, and the robbers. taking advan-
tax. Of the situation. overpowered the
officer and took his keys and other eff
fects, including a few dollars. Marshal
Thompson made noise enough to awaken
a regiment. but his alarm was interpret
ed to be only the wall of a drunken vic
tim, SO but little attention was given to
him. After having disposed Of the only
guardian on duty in North Bend, the rob
bers, by means OF skeleton keys, entered
the Bank Of North Bend and made their
way to the vaults. There they unexpect-
eddy set off burglar alarm, which drove
them away. They fed precipitately, leav-
Ing their tools behind.
