THE NEW BERLIN BAND
The New Perlin band, under the
le- dership Of Prof. Frank Kolp, gave
splendid satisfaction at the fair and
the quality Of the music furnished re-
fleets credit upon the leader Of the Or
ganization.
MOORE & MAURER.
One of the most tasteful displays in
the art hall at the fair is that Of Messrs.
Moore & Maurer, druggists. The booth
is presided over gracefully by two
beautiful and accomplished young la
dies, the Misses Ina Wingard and
Grace Detmering. The display has at
tracted much attention and shows the
same skill in arrangement as that dis
played in their store, 223 South Market
street. They carry full line of the
puIest drugs, and pay especial atten-
ton to their prescription department
They carry complete line Of East
mans Photographic goods and have the
finest soda water fountain in the city
and it is literally patronized. Mr..
Maurer was formerly in the drug bus
mess in Greentown and Bolivar and his
20 years experience qualities him to look
after the wants of the trade. Mr.. A. L.
Moore is graduate of the Scio school
of pharmacy, which insures his compe-
tency. They are successors to Ed. H.
Young, druggist.

not been extended since 1890. There
has been very little increase in the way
of building, although, of course, there
have been a number of buildings
erected in this city. The territory built
up was not of any great consequence
in the way of increasing the number OF
the inhabitants. The increase in popu-
lation was mostly outside of the cor
porate limits

caused an increase in the census IL the

probably were correct and that the CEN
sus enumerators did their work care

caused by people moving out Of the city
who were employed in our large snors,
such as the rolling mill, The bridge

Deputy City Clerk Harry Schaub

much smaller than he hal figured.

at least 10000 or more people in this

George w. Irwin, passenger agent Of

as to his views on the census, said:

NINTH IN THE STATE
Is Probably Where Canton Will
Stand---AkrOn May Be the
Sixth City.

A special to the Cleveland Leader
from Washington, Wednesday night,
commenting on the census returns from
Ohio cities, says:
Unless Youngstown and Springfield
have made gains of about 30 to IS per
cent respectively since 1896, Akron will
stand sixth in the list Of Ohio cities in
point Of population. Ten years ago
Youngstown contained 1920, and
Springfield 31,805 inhabitants re-
spectively. Canton is the ninth city In
numerical strength in the state.
Dayton continues to retain its posi-
tion as the fifth city in point Of popula-
tion in Ohio. It's growth during the last
ten years, while not as large relatively
or absolutely as that of Cleveland, To-
ledo, or Columbus, has been far above
the average Of cities throughout the
country. Moreover, it's per cent of in
crease is four times that Of Cincinnati.
while numerically the growth almost
equals that Of the Queen City, the lat
ter's gain being 2S.994, as against 24,113
for Dayton.

census, together with the growth be-
tween 1890 and 1900 is shown in the

BANK CLEARlNGS INCREASED
In Eight Years Almost 60
Per Cent---What the City
Bankers Think of 1t.

The bank clearings for the city show
an increase Of ever six millions Of dol
lars, or 59.2 per cent, since 1892. In
1892, the year that the clearing house
was established, the clearings were IS,
549. .OsS27 in 1899 they were s12,S11. .401. 80
and they will be about s14,272, ,OS1.20 in
1900, at the same ratio of increase.
Cashier Loichot, of the First National
bank, which bank runs the clearing
house for Canton is authority for the
above figures. Mr.. Loichot was asked
by News-Democrat man what, in the
light Of the big increase in the bank
clearings in the eight years since the
clearing house was established, he
thought Of the figures given out We'd
nesday on Canton's population.
Mr.. Loichot said: There has, no
doubt, been a mistake made, and a big
one in the taking Of the federal CEN
sus for this city. The big increase In
the bank clearings and the small per
cent in increase in the city's population
do not agree and there is no doubt in
my mind that the figures given out
yesterday seriously misrepresent the
city,"

After the senate had considered the
matter behind closed doors, the

The debate for the day was con-
cluded by Vest, who made a notable
speech in opposition TO the assumption
in some quarters that every man
