AN employe in the Census ofice at
Washington says that many ludicrous
misunderstanding occurred while the
count was inl rogress. Among the quer-
les on the blanks furnished 10 the enum-
orators was one which was indicated thus:
Length of residence" This was expect
ed to show how long each person had lived
in the place where he resided when the

the residences of the people they counted.

RESOLUTIONS.
We the teachers of Forest county, would
hereby signify our appreciation ofthe zeal
manifested by the Superintendent in his
effort 10 secure the highest standard OF
efficiency in the school system Of the
county, aud to which end the meritorious
program of this week has been arranged
and carried out.
We, express our warmest gratitude TO
the efficient corps of instructors whose
talks we enjoyed and who have led us to
see new ideals aud new realities in the
value of education; and to the citizens of
riOnesta who have been so courteous in
their treatment OF us we extend similar
gratitude.
We. recommend the adoption, by the
school boards of the various townships in
Forest county, of uniform course OF
study and system of grading as approved
by the superintendent; said course to be
supplemented by an approved high school
course, provision for instruction IN which
to be provided as suggested 10y the laws
of the commonwealth.
We recommend to the boards Of direc-
tors the election of township principals,
Who by their labor aud supervision may
nulify, systemic and harmonic the
work of the isolated schools by bringing
them into closer relationship.
Whereas, IT has pleased God in His
infinite wisdom to remove from our
number Miss Lissa Harkenrider, be il
therefore resolved, that we extend our
deepest sympathy to the bereaved friends
aud that we realize in her sad demise the
necessity OF closer fellowship and COM
munion with the Master Teacher.

A Tunisian girl has no chance of mar

pounds, and to that end she commences
to fatten when she is 10 years old. She
takes aperients and eats a great deal
OF sweet stuff and leads a sedentary
life to hasten the process. Up to 10 she
is very handsome, but at 20 what an
immense, unwieldy mass of fat she be-

BABY FALLS FROM
SECOND STORY WINDOW.

Headlong from the second story
window of the home to the brick pave
ment below the little 16 months-old
baby of MIR. and Mrs. Lillian Burke,
OF Davenport. plunged about o'clock
last evening No one thought there
was possibility of the child recover
ing from such fall. The little one
landed on its face and shoulder, and
those who rushed to pick the child up
expected to see a mangled corpse.
But baby was still alive, and what is
more strange. when DR.. Bracelin made
an examination not a broken bone
could be found. But there were pain
full bruises all over the little one.
The physician would not give final
opinion regarding the condition OF the
child for there is possibility that
today. will bring on indications of
serious internal injuries.

TO FINISH HARBOR.
Mai. Townsend Asks SIS, 900
For Rock Island Inn
proVement.
ANNUAL REPORT ON RIVER WORK
Total of SO, 566, 5H.72 Expended
So Far Between ST. Paul
and ST. Louis.

In the recommendation by Mas c.
Med Townsend for an appropriation
of 81, 900. 600 for the next year to car
/ ry on the Improvement of the upper
Mississippi district of which he is in
charge. $15 900 is asked for the COM
pletion of the work already begun on
the Rock Island harbor. The esti-
mated cost of opening up the harbor
| from Seventeenth to Twentieth streets
was originally estimated at $25, 900,
and the sum of $4,000 has been APP
propriated and expended on the part
of the river between West Seventeenth
and Eighteenth streets.
In his annual report for the year
ending June 30, 1901, Maj. Townsend
gives some general statistics in regard
To the commerce and Improvement of
the upper river. During the year
Just ended the commerce is estimated
ut z, 400 600 tons or GO, 600 900 ton
miles. This was a decrease of 500, 900
tons, or $1,000. 600 ton miles from
that of the year previous.
Improvement Begun In 1875.
When the work on the upper river
was begun in 1876, in times OF mod
erately low water boats could not run
above Lacrosse or Winona. June so
of this year a channel depth of f.
feet had been attained in moderately
low water all the way from st. Louis
to St Paul. The total amount ex-
pended to the end of the year was
IS, 500 571.72, of which $40S. 600 was
expended upon channel improvement
snd 1924 5o4 upon snag boat service.
Tue ultimate depth to be secured I'M
der the original plans is feet during
moderately low water, which is 1.5
feet above extreme low water. The
main agency for accomplishing this
end will be the narrowing of the chan
mel by means of wing ard closing
dams, so that the current will wear
within a confined space.
Last Years Work
Last year work was done on the
Rock island aud Des Moines rapids,
between st. Paul and Dubuque, and
between Hannibal and the missouri
river by the hired labor plan. Work
was done between Winona and La
Crosse, Lansing and LeClaire, Rock
Island and Montrose. Ham burgh and
the Illinois river, and in the vicinity
of Keokuk under formal contracts
This year, of course, on account of
the failure of the passage of the river
and harbor bill, river improvement is
at standstill.
