DUG COAL FOR A BRIDE.
The Novel Contest Two Men Entered
 Win a Miners Daughter.

An Illinois coal mine and the mine owners daughter was the stake in { novel coal digging contest a fortnight ago.
 It was a romantic fight for love, though the sooty and begrimed men looked anything but romantic while al their task.
 Willis V. Hill. the successful man. is a graduate of the University of Penn sylvania. His opponent was James Andrews, a hardy coal miner-known as Big Jim" among the miners.
 The father-in-law who figured in this affair of hearts. is Robert Smith, one of the wealthiest men in the southern part of St. Clair county. III. The bride Miss Mona Smith. was the prize that Hill won as the victor in a contest with pick and shovel.
 few months ago Willis V. Hill's : interests took him into the southern part of St. Clair county, where he met Miss Smith. In a short while the two young people were sweethearts. and soon afterward Miss Mona told her father that MT. Hill had asked her to become his wife.
 That dude?" he stormed. Why, a dozen of him would not be worth as much as one of old Big Jim Andrews. Now. if he could do what Big Jim does work for a living, and work lke q man ought to work. why. then. maybe l would think about it. But
 And the irate father ceased for the Jack of words.
 Miss Mona tald Hill sadly what her father had said. Hill laughed.
 "So he thinks I can't work. does he? All right. We'll fool him and he sought MT. Smith.
 What would you think of match coal digging contest between Big Jim Andrews and mysslf?" he asked. If I win will you give me your daughter?'
 Mir. Smith was surprised and then amused.
 "You-you dig more coal than Big Jim? Well, if you can, you can have Nona"
 The contest was set for SIX weeks later. It was to be a seven days race. Hill quietly went tO d coal mine near BeIleville, and spent more than five weeks in careful training.
 On the first cay Of the contest. Hill and Big Jim met at one of Mr, Smiths mines. They stripped and went to work in the same pit. but in opposite shafts Big Jim tried for spurt. hop ing to so discourage his antagonist that he would quit. Hill plodded along. At noon Big Jim had twice the amount of coal that Hill had. At night he was two loads ahead. The second day he gained another carload. Then he felt sure of winning. and began a celcbra- tiun in advance. It cost him heavily. for the third day Hill wiped out the three carloads advantage. and was on even terms with him a, nightfall.
 note of congratulation from his sweetheart and the news that her fath- CT was already proud of him because of his grit, was good tonic for Hill. He continued to dig until the sixth day found him one carload ahead.
 Both men spurted on the seventh and last day and when the whistle sounded the end of the race. Hill fell to the ground, exhausted. But he was slight

EIGHTY MILLIONS OF US
The Census Will Show a Population
 of Over 75, 100000.

With the announcement of the pop ulation of Detroit the census bureau has completed the count of the inhabi- tants of the thirty largc st cities in the United States, showing a total of 13,- 243, 515. Already over 3OO0O.O09 have been counted, and Director Merriam is certain that the entire population re- turns will be ready for congress whl n it meets in December. Enough has been counted so far to give some idea of the result of the census. For some years the idea has been prevalent that the census of 1900 would show a total population of 75.000, 900. The returns from the thirty cities show an avera ge increase of almost 30 per cent. which, if maintained throughout the country. would mean that the population is in the neighborhood of S0,0O0O0O. But it is characteristic of all countries that the towns grow faster than the country districts, and the larger the city the more rapidly it grows. In New Eng land. for instance. is Boston, with an increase of 25.O7. Providence with 32SS per cent: but no one would be led to believe from this that the rural popu- JdtlDH Ol NeW cNSldIu ndS increased an average of 29 per cent. during the past ten years. The great increase in the farming communities has been from the central states, beginning from Ohio westward to the Dakotas: but even in Ohio. Indiana and Illinois and other middle states 1t would doubtless be found that the largest increase has been in the cities.
 During the period between 1880 and 1890 the increase in the population of thc United States was phenomenal. The tide of immigration was strong and practically unchecked. The great west had just commenced to attract the at tention of European immigrants and the country was recovering from the ci- vii war and the panicky times between 1870 and 1880. Chicago doubled it's pop ulati n and the wesle cities grew like mushrooms. New states were admitted to the union and new territories opened to settlement. But between 1890 and 1900 immigration has been discouraged rather than encouraged. SOme care is exercised in extending the welcome hand to the incoming Europeans. Chi nese immigration has been stopped. Most of the immigrants now go to the cities and stay there. The older farm Ing communities being well settled the farmers sons and daughters go to the cities. with the result that the urban population is swelled al the expense of the country districts.
