SUNDAY SCHOOL CENSUS.
Compilation of Statistics ON the North
Side Completed.
From Wednesdays Daily.

The compilation OF statistics re-
ceived by the Sunday school census
taken recently in ottumwa has been
partially completed, by which it is
shown that the population OF the por-
ton of the city north of the river is
10,7S5. The work on the South Side
has not been completed. or at least NO
returns have been made. According
to the figures pertaining to the north
side it is evident that the canvass was
not as complete as was intended, ~
else former estimates OF the city's pop
ulation were in excess of what they
should have been. II is admitted,
however, that the Sunday school cen
sus is probably not as complete us the
government count will be.
There are 2,612 families on the
North Side; 5000 persons over 21
years old;e 5000 from 5 to 81 years old
and LILY under years of age. The
census shows that there are on the
North Side 4.050 church members;
1880 in Sunday schools, and that there
are 455 families without Bibles.

William Greedy, bartender at John
Lunkley's saloon on South Market
street, sustained a complicated frac-
ture of the bones of the right ankle
last evening, caused by jumping sew
eral feet onto solid platform. He
was coming down the stairway at the
rear of the SALOON, outside of the
building, when the bannister gave
away precipitating him to the plat
form 10 or 12 feet below. Mr.. Greedy
jumped and most of his weight came
on the injured leg. He is a very heavy
pan, weighing about $50 pounds, and
the bones of his ankle were crushed.
DR.. A. 0. Williams dressed the injury,
after which Mr.. Greedy was conveyed
to his home on North Moore street.

IN WAR.

The position that the balloon must oc-
cupy to insure the complete safety of its
staff has been quite accurately deter
mined by experiments. 1t is evident that
there are two Reconsideration and dis
lance. In round numbers it may be said
that a balloon is absolutely safe at a
distance of four miles n at a he1gh.
of 2,G00 feet. With every mile that the
balloon is brought nearer to the enemy's
batteries it is necessary to materially in
crease the height of the balloon. English
artillerists fired without effect twe-ve
rounds of shrapnel at q balloon distant
about 5000 yards and at a height con-
stantly varying from 1900 to 1.500 feet.
Under wind conditions favorable to the
gun it required Is rounds of shrapnel to
hit a balloon distant $500 yards and at
an elevation of 100 feet. The Germans
practised with shrapnel at Cummens7
dorf on two balloons distant three miles;
the first, at an elevation of 900 feet, fell
pierced in some % places after 10 shots,
but the second balloon, at an elevation
of 500 feet, was disabled only after 20
discharges. French experiments at Pol
tiers prove that neither artillery nor
mitrailleuse fire can affect a balloon at q
moderate elevation and distant more
than $500 metres (three and ore-third
miles,. Even at distances of one or two
miles, it requires considerable time and
effort to get the range of a balloon,
which should be frequently raised and
lowered and changed from place to place
when within easy range. - General

HOW TO FORGET HOW TO SPELL.

men of affairs said a New Orleans
merchant. "and it's death on o%rthogra-
ply. l defy any man who has dictated
TO a stenographer for as long a period
OF time as two years to sit down and
write an ordinary business letter with
out making at least four or five Hidicu-
lous plumbers in spelling. Skill in Eng
fish photography is purely an arbitrary
accomplishment. It's a feat in Mnemon-
les. and doesn't necessarily
the possession OF any special intellectual
gifts. The only way that the average
man retains his ability to spell with rea-
sonable correctness is by keeping con-
staatly in practice and seeing written
words before his eyes. Let him suspend
that mental exercise for a short time
and first thing you know he'll be spelling
eleahants with two rs. The stenog-
raoher habit is as bad as cocoaine-when
