when she asked Lillian Nordica to
sing at her charity entertainment at
New York for the benefit of the En-

saying she favored the Beers and
would rather sing for them. which She
did later. 1t is understood the prince
has promised to see about it. which
may mean that Nordica is to get the

In 1899 there were 703 dogs and 675 in
1900. showing a decrease of q dogs.
In 1899 there were 29, COS acres in
wheat The falling off in wheat acreage
is owing to the increased business in cat
tie raising. The decrease is in the west
part of the county.
There was IL, ,629 head of cattle in 1890.
compared to 21 ,666 in 1900. There are
about the same number of COWS and
horses, but there are "A more mules and
asses, in 1900 than in 1899.
There was less attention paid to dairy
products in 1900 than in 1890, owing to
the greater attention paid to the rearing
of cattle. In 1900 there was 73, ,136
pounds of butter made in families and
1875 pounds made in factories. In 1899
there was 20, ,99S pounds of butter made
in families and 1913 pounds in factories.
The less number of dogs is an indica-
ton of the increased prosperity of the
county When dogs and fleas abound,
famine and drouth appear. The dog
population is the barometer of industry.
We look for decrease in the number of
dogs from this time forward.

The Inhabitants at the Soldiers Home.
Fort Dodge, are not included in the pop
uiation of the county.
There is a less acreage in wheat but
greater acreage in forage plants over last
year.
There is a notable increase in the live
stock.
Ford county is making more progress,
agriculturally- than in former years.
There is a large increase in tree culture,
aud throughout the county tree growth
is in evidence.
Cattle raising is largely improved and
all industries have been largely increased.
While t1le showing is not large, the in
crease is noted with a view of showing
tile tendency of improve ment.
Ford county farmers are in better con-
dition now than at any time sirce the
settlement Of the county.
There is no exclusive farming in this
county. but farmers find the diversity
profitable in cattle raising and the rails
ing of wheat forage crops. There is a
healthy growth on all lines
Ford county's population is gradually
increasing. In the '.boom days. the
population was nearly 5 900; but the
s-ca lamity" diminished the number of in
habitants TO about one-half. The grad
ua1ty increasing population, the demand
for ana fixed values of lands, is evil
dence of that recurring tide of prosperi-
ty founded on better and more per-
mament basis. The growth on all lines
is steady aud the Improvement is healthy.
Farmers are in better condition finan-
cially- The growth of alfalfa and in
creased number of stock; the increased
number of forest and fruit trees; the
Improvement in farm houses and farms;
the increased production in dairy and
poultry and many other evidences of

ENUMERATION OF INHABITANTS.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1900-08-23
BRYAN Gains Supporters.

John ]. Valentine, president of the
Wells-Fargo Express Company, with head
quarters at Chicago, strong supporter of
President Mckinley four years ago, has
declared for Bryan and Stevenson. The
following letter from Mr., Valentine was
given out August 49,
Believing that between the claim of
freedom that all men are entitled to equal
political rights, and the dogma of tyranny
that might makes right there is no middle
ground, therefore, whatever the indepen-
dents may do, / favor the Endorsement OF
Bryan and Stevenson, and straight support
of the Democratic nominees.
DR.. Henry Wade Rogers, ex-President of
Northwestern University, and recently
called by the Faculty of Yale, says he will
vote for b yam and Stevenson. In 1896 he
voted for Mckinley and Hobart. He says:
1.-THE Gold Democrats as rule are anti
imperialists. They declined to support Mr..
Bryan four years ago because they looked
upon the currency question as the para
mount issue of the campaign. The most Of
them, / believe, will be found supporting
Bryan in this campaign. They believe
that Imperialism is the most dangerous
possible policy for the republic to adopt
and that it is of the utmost consequence
that the American people should repudiate
it absolutely by defeating the party that is
responsible for it. For that reason they
