Mrs. Robert Colton's picnic in honor
of her guests, at Lake Ridge Friday,
was great success from every point of
view. Seventy-one sat round the table
and every one had all they could eat,
and enough left for several meals. The
day was ideal. The light shower only
furnished an excuse to enjoy the spac-
ious enclosed veranda at the hotel. Some
of the party started as early as a. m,
and all came home in time to attend the
Kings Daughters entertainment in
the evening.

The entertainment given in the OPP
era House, Friday evening, was sue
cess, 30 far as beauty was concerned,
but the audience was not sufficient to
pay Miss Yeo's expenses. The stat
uary and posing were beautiful, and the
effect when calcium liget in colors was
turned on the young ladies in Grecian
gowns, with draping of filmy white
wells, was charming.
Miss Florence Butler made her first
appearance on the stage, since her re-
turn from Boston. Her singing was a
delight and her selections well chosen

Mr.. Levi Lime, after a pleasant call
on Mr.. Josiah Shuffelton, Friday, left
for his home in Ligonier, Indiana.
When Mr.. Lines was young man,
living at Bellefontaine, he took it into
his head that he could do good busi-
ness at huckstering; SO he hired horse
and spring wagon of Mr.. Shuffelton,
and sailed forth. After two days
trip, he returned to Bellefontaine with
the wagon broken, and two lone chick
ems, as the result of his two days labor.
Mr.. Shuffelton took pity on him, re-
paired the wagon gratis, and charged
him nothing for the two days use of the
horse and Wagon. The young man felt
so kindly toward Mr.. S. that his graft
tude has lasted through the 80 years OF
his absence from our city, and he
sought out Mr.. Shuffelton to return
anew his thanks for the kindness done
nearly fourscore years ago.

Committee Reports That Balance of
Funds Has Been Raised.
The Ottumwa street carnival is as
sured. The $3.50 which the fund
lacked yesterday morning has been
subscribed, and at o'clock this morn
ing Manager Hamilton was so mott
fed. Inquiries are pouring into Mr..
Hamiltons office from farmers in this
and surrounding counties in regard
to the, premium list which is now in
press and will be ready for distribu-
tion Thursday. Farmers are also
asking for space in which to
place their exhibits. The railroads
are taking hold of the matter in better
shape than they ever have, and are
distributing carnival literature among
the towns within radius of 100 miles.
The funds which have been con-
tributed by Ottumwa business men,
are in the sole charge of the eXecu-
tive committee. Each subscription
blank is deposited with B. P. Brown,
cashier of the Ottumwa Savings bank,
and the amounts are collected by
him. Each check is signed by Judge
Hall and endorsed by Messrs. j. B.
Sax, Stephen Barnes and ]. w. Gar
ner, SO it will be seen that every cent
can readily be accounted for should
contributors desire to know where
their money has been placed. Man
ager Hamilton has been placed on a
salary for managing the show end of
the carnival and does not have charge
Of the funds, as many people seem to
think. Mr.. Hamilton further says
that the streets will not be blockaded
and no booths will be erected in
front of any business house without
the owners consent. Everything
will be conducted fairly, and the ex-
ecutiye committee will see that value
is received for every cent expended
Upon the success of the present carni.
val depends future events of like
character, and it is believed that mat.

sEvENTY-slx MILLION PEOPLE.
United States Will Show Enormous
Gain in Population.

Washington, Sept. IA conserva-
tive estimate of the total population of
the United States, based upon twelfth
census returns already reported, is
76,OOO,000.
The census bureau, up to and includ-
ing yesterdays reports, has given out
the population of thirty-eight cities
and the District of Columbia. This in
cludes the thirty largest cities in the
country, which means that the great
centers of population must necessarily
be the basis for all present estimates.
Results already tabulated and given
to the public make grand total of
13,824,9SS. In 1890 the returns of the
eleventh census showed the same
places had but 10,477 1888 inhabitants.
This is gain of 3,347,S0O. The per-
centage OF, gain is therefore slightly
over "a.
If the rest of the country makes the
same showing as have the most thick
ly settled portions upon which the per-
| centage is based the population of the
United States will be officially fixed at
| 1861 $50.

Senator Dolliver Opens the
Campaign in Evanston.
FLAWS PARTY OF BRYAN.
Hard Knocks for the Democrats Civ.
en- in Speech to a Great Open
Air Audience-Story of Cen
fury.

Chicago, Aus. Ex-senator iona
than Prentiss Dolliver of Iowa opened
the republican campaign in Evanston
last night under the auspices Of the
Young Mems Republican Club. Chas.
8. Cutting, nominee for Judge of the
Probate court, assisted. Two thou
sand people assembled in the open
air to hear them.
E. S. Taylor, in assuming the chair
manslip, expressed the disappoint-
ment of everybody in the unwilling
absence of General John M. Palmer,
who had been expected to speak brief
ly. The old soldier sent word that
the excitement of the G. A. r. en-
campment had been too much for lin
and so forbade his attendance, but
he said his heart was with the meet
ing in its purpose to promote the
reelection of President Mckinley.
I'VE are a nation of politicians, "
said Senator Dolliver, land we ought
to be, because our government is the
product of everybody's politics.
Good Work of Republicans.
''In one century of experimental
government" he said a moment laLar,
we have put more practical good
sense into the management of human
affairs than can be attributed to any
other century of which history has
record And l think the best part Of
it is that the best has been done in
the last forty years, and by the re-
publican party. The democrats lave
only occasionally put in a punctua-
ton mark-a comma here and a
semi-colon there, a colon here, an eX-
clamation point once in while, and,
in 1892, a full stop. | have made up
my mind that they will not be per-
mitted to mar the first four years Of
the dawning century"
The beauty of the democratic par
ty, he said, coming down to issues,
is that it never bores anybody. 1t
does not tire the world by sticking
100 long to any one thing"
Senator Dolliver then told how the
democrats, after hammering at free
trade for many years, got their chance
in 1892. The succeeding four years,
he found, gave the country such a
university extension course that the
people fully mastered that subject
for all time.

HAS FoRsAKEN BRYAN.
Rev. N. P. Nystrom Will Take Stump
for M'kinIey This Fall.


Des Moines, Sept. 1.-(Special.)-
Among the recent converts in Iowa
from the support of Mr.. Bryan. one of
the most marked, perhaps, is Rev. NJ.
P .Nystrom. This gentleman has been
the pastor of the Swedish church at
Sac City, Iowa. -Four years ago he
took the stump for Bryan and spoke
in Swedish in Minnesota the two Da-
kotas, Iowa and Nebraska. He follow
ed the Swedish republican speakers
sent out by the national committee,
and as a large percentage of the vot-
ers of the states referred to, except
Iowa. are Swedish, his work was very
noticeable in the results. Mr.. Ny
strom called himself the free silver
prohibitionist and supported Mr.. Bry-
an enthusiastically on the issue of free
silver. He has now, however, come
out for President Mckinley, has re-
signed his pastorate to take the stump
in order that he may speak before the
same people he addressed four years
ago and tell them, that at that time
he was mistaken. Mr.. Nystrom went
to Chicago Wednesday night, armed
with letters from National Committee
man Hart, Hon. g. S. Gilbertson and
others and also with the endorsement
of the state central committee. Be
fore leaving, Mr.. Nystrom said at head.
