The growth Of population about the
Great Lakes will be one Of the impor-
tant revelations Of the present census.
Six Lake cities, Buffalo, Cleveland, To-
1edo, Detroit, Milwaukee and Chicago,
have added more than a million people
since 1890. an increase Of nearly fifty
Per cent The increase is directly re-
lated to the growth Of commerce Of
the Great Lakes, which has doubled in
the last i've years. The tonnage ca
pacity Of vessels passing through the
canal at Sanlt Sainte Marie is now half
as large again as that Of all the YES
sells which enter and leave the port Of
New York, and two and a half times as
great Is the tonnage which passes
through the Suez Canal The Great
Lakes certainly cannot be called "a
waste Of waters" They are teeming
with life and usefulness.

Mississippi OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The statehouse, which the State of
Mississippi is about to erect in its CANT
tai, jackson, will be, architecturallv
speaking the most important and the
most prominent public building in the
South. 1t will far surpass in beauty. II
not in size, all of the capitol buildings
OF the Southern States, and, with very
few exceptions, those in the United
States.
We herewith present to our readers
an outline perspective of the new build
ing as designated by Mr.. Theodore C.
Link, the architect, of st. Louis, which
Will give some idea of it's general ap-
pearance and proportions.
1t will be erected on the site formerly
occupied by the State penitentiary, a
rectaDgle about $50 feet square, on an
eminence overlooking the town and
country for a considerable distance.
and will be in full view of the trains
over the Illinois Central and the Queen
Crescent tracks. The main facade
is to be to the south, the main entrance
centering with Congress street. Two
squares south on this street the gov
ernors mansion is now located. The
length of the building will be 400 feet

This work contemplates considerable

BOTH ROBBERS ARE DEAD.
The Second One, Probably Badly
Wounded, Burned to Death.

Goodland, Kas., Aug. 1.-THE two
Union Pacific train robbers located
here yesterday morning, are dead, one
shot to pieces and the other burned
to death in the house on the Bar
tholomew ranch. After the fight in
the morning when the first one was
shot the citizens armed themselves
and went to the raLch. The man in
side the house was armed with a Win
chester and too near approach to
the house drew his fire. About four
o'clock some men, by crawling
through a cornfield, got to shed
near the house, and from this place
threw two railroad fuzes on the roof
of the house, setting it afire. 1t was
not many minutes until the entire
building was in flames, but the robber
made no sign, and if he was not shot
by bullet from the many that were
fired at the house from the outside he
found death in the flames.
There is no doubt about the men
being the train robbers. On the
body of the one shot in the morning
was found a watch, two black calico
face masks, a lady's watch and charm
and an open envelope, addressed to
some illegible name at Hugo, Col. He
was tall. with black mustache and
commonly dressed. The body was
brought to town last night.
The man in the house had a large
roll of bills, but these, with the rob-
bers' two valises, were burned. Both
were about 80 years old, and of the
desperate style, having threatened to
shoot several farmers who refused to
keep them.
The house on the ranch, with its
contents was valued at 81 200, and will
be paid for by the county. The two
citizens, Riggs and Cullins, shot in the
fight in the morning, are doing well
and will recover.

THE ONE MEDICINE

In the world which women may
rely upon positively. Pe-ru-na is
good for everyone, but particularly
for women. The various weak
nesses which afflict their delicate Or
ganisln spring from inflammation or
catarrh of the mucous lining, and Pe-ru-na
Is a specific for catarrh in any organ of
the body. Any congestion of mucous
membrane simply means catarrh of the
organ affected. This is why Pe-ru-na
cures all sorts Of troubles where other
remedies fail. If there Is a catarrhal
affection the matter with you anywhere
Pe-ru-na will cure you.

OVERSTEPPING THE BOUNDS.
He Wanted to Pay the Pnrson More
But the Rules and Regulations
Were Against Him.

"The first charge l ever held was in a
small town in the western part of the
state" said a well-known minister, who
was in a reminiscent mood. THE town
was not very large, and my congregation
was very poor and unable to contribute
much toward the support of minister, so
they made up what they lacked in cash by
holding donation parties now and then dur
ing the year to exc out the small salary that
they paid" says the Detroit Free Press.
The first infection of this kind that
had was called a pound donation party, at
which everyone was expected to bring a
pound of something or other Among the
congregation was a member who had more
worldly goods than all the rest put to-
gether, but he had the reputation of being
near, and l confess that | looked forward
with some interest to see what he would
bring.
Imagine my CONSERVATION when l un-
did his package and found nothing but
few small potatoes.
Il met him the next day and had hard
work to remember that was a minister of
the Gospel and treat him pleasantly. He
said that he wanted to speak to me pri
vately for a moment and drew me aside.

prohibited me from bringing more n a
