factures and their finished materials,
and such other things as will enable
the census officials to secure complete
information as to the financial and in
dustrial condition of the country.
The information sought by the CEN
sus officials will not be made public as
to individuals, firms and corporations
affected, and no one should hesitate to
answer every question promptly and
truthfully. A correct census will serve
useful public purpose, and the in
formation secured cannot be used to
the detriment of any one. The enum-
orators are required to treat all infor-
nation secured in the exercise of the
duties of their Office as of confiden
tial nature, and the government will
publish only statistical results, omit
ting all personal particulars.
For this reason every householder
should treat the census enumeration
with the utmost consideration. His
visit will be a purely official one.
There will be much in the complete
census figures to make our citizens
proud of their country, and every citi.
zen should take pride in helping to
make these statistics as correct as pos
sible.

The empire of China is in the midst
of a great deal of trouble. For some
months there has been an evident in
tention on the part of the "great
powers" to partition the empire among
themselves on the grounds of making
"open doors" for commercial purposes.
A faction or mob who hate foreigners
called Boxers" seem as insur-
rectionists, to be beyond the control
of the emperor and his army. The
other nations are determined to pro-
tect their subjects now in China.
The detachment of over three hun
dred international bluejackets has ar
rived at Pekin.
Twenty-three warships are now at
Taku, nine Russian, three British,
three German, three French, two
American, two japanese and one Ital-
ian.
In addition to their crews the Rus
slams have on board their warships,

field equipment. Fourteen thousand
Russian troops are held in readiness
at Port Arthur. Bussia's big army is
exciting the attention of the other ma
tions, as to what is their design.

THE Constitution of the United

The first census under our existing
form of government was taken in 1890.

the twelfth in that number, and will
doubtless show that the country DOS
sesses a total population we'll above
70,O00,000. The population of the
country in 1890 was 1923, 900.
Congress has seen fit to provide that
the census statistics shall include
much more than a mere enumeration
of the men, women and children in the
United States, and the census enum.
orators will be provided with blanks
containing inquiries as to the age,
nativity and calling at each resident in
every household, and also, as to the
ownership and value of the home, the

How Mccullough Lost n Bet.

Nlllam =. crane. tie actCi, once
told this story on his old friend McCul-
Tough. He said that one night in San
Francisco he was awakened from a
sound sleep by Mccullough pounding
on the door of his room and in response
to his sleepy inquiry as to what was
wanted responded: Let me in, Billy.
| want you to decide a bet"
Once in, Mccullough told Crane that
he and the man who accompanied him
had bet $50 goldpiece as to who could
stand the longer on one foot and that
Crane must referee the contest. The
preliminaries being arranged and the
stakes deposited, time was called. and
each contestant, lifting a foot from the
floor, stood like crane. while the real
Crane lay back in a recumbent posi-
tion with a drOwsy eye on the contest
ants. The seconds dragged into min
utes, which again threatened to extend
into the hour without either disputant
giving up.
Suspecting something was wrong,
Crane walked himself up and examined
his men more closely. The other man
was wavering a bit. but Mccullough
was standing like a rock. Another five
minutes went by, and then Crane, hop.
ping out of bed, discovered that McCul
Tough had one foot resting against an
adjacent sofa and could have stood
there for a week, If necessary. The
other man won the bet, but the joke
was on the referee.

CONGRESS has acted in the direction
of checking trusts. This was on Sat-
urday by the passage in the House of
Representative Littlefeld's bill amend
ing the Sherman Antitrust law.
There was but one vote against it in
274. Democrats and Republicans
united in demonstrations of pleasure
when the first success of the measure
was announced.
Republicans leaders claim the bill
goes to the limit of the authority of
Congress under the Constitution, and
for that reason defeated all Democratic
amendments except the final one, which
the Republicans accepted, only eight
votes being shown against it.
The bill, as it goes to the Senate,
makes violations of the law a crime in
stead of a misdemeanor, as it was un-
der the Sherman act. The term of
Imprisonment is doubled in the new
bill, the maximum now being two
years instead of one, though the min
imum of six months still holds.
In the five new sections lies the meat
of the bill. The use of the mails is
prohibited to associations, joint stock
companies or partnership such as are
forbidden by the bill, and more than
that, common carriers are barred from
transporting and products and con-
Germs under the ban. Any person, firm,
corporation or association can institute
proceedings instead of being compelled
to await the United States officials tax
ing the initiative. The bill also pro-
vides that any persons summoned
must testify and produce any books or
papers demanded.

WHETHER Congress adjourns to-day
or not, depends upon the Senate. If
not to-day it will be this week. The
chief thing in the way was the case of
Senator Clark of Montana, but this
is likely to be disposed of by the Sen
ate committee on privileges and cleo
tions which has reached an agreement
with the friends of Senator Clark of
Montana, to allow the Senator's case
to rest where it is, with the under
standing that no further steps shall be
taken to have either Mr.. Clark's or
Mr.. Maginnis' credentials referred to
the committee, and no further action
shall be taken on the resolution of the
committee concerning Senator Clark's
original election.

GEN. Otis has came home and Gen.
Macarthur is now the Governor of
Luzon. He reports different rebel
commands coming in and laying down
their arms, and believes the rebellion
about over. There is no question
about this, if the report is true about
the killing or capture of Aguinaldo by
Major March. Gen. Otis has no doubt
of the end of the Tagalas rebellion, if
Aguinaldo is out of the way.

deep toned voice Of Lee Ransom. the

parlor OF The late Lewis w. Bell. This
well known and popular barber shop could
not possibly have gotten into better hands
Lee IS as popular as was the former pro-

Lee rs not an expert tonsoual artist. he
Nlll find plenty to do at the shop and will
