a Proposition to Utilize consu. Return.
for Such Publication.

Washington. March 14.-lt is proposed
mat q directory shall be issued which
ton of every person In the United States
as shown by the census office returns
Ihis could not be done without special
get or congress-. as all information relat-
ing to individuals is presumed to be kept
secret, but 1t is not anticipated that an
objection could be made To the publica-
ton of the names, addresses and occupa-
lions. Whether such scheme could be
executed by private parties would depend
on the favor of congress. but it could
be readily done by the census office. First
n card catalogue of the names would
haze to be prepared and arranged in
alphabetical order, and from that the
lists could be copied by minor civil divi-
sions counties and states. To prepare
lion dollars We're 1t not for the fact that
SO much of the preliminary work has been
done. The census office spent millions in
making the enumeration, which contains
little moro than the Information referred
to. A private firm could prepare such a
directory from data in the census office
and issue 1t at an estimated cost of less
than 100000.
Speaking on the subject Acting Director
Wines said he thought the information
would probably be regarded as confilen-
tial, and that congress would decline to
permit its publication. Before the census
was taken. he said. a card catalogue of
all the business firms in the United States
had been prepared and had been added
10 ana corrected 1FOm tne census returns,
until now the office possessed what 1t
thought was as complete directory of
all the business firms in the country as
could be had.
1t is proposed, in case the general d.
rectory scheme should be adopted, to
have a supplementary directory of all the
manufacturing and business firms in the
United States. with their capitalization
and business done during the census year.
published as an addition to the United
States directory. An advocate of the
publication of these directories. either by
the government or private individuals,
said today:
1T can be readily seen that such dircc-
tories would be of great value to business
houses and political parties, but. they
would be scarcely less valuable to the i'm
dividua citizen. Should full sets of these
directories be placed In each first, second
and third-class postoffice and custom
house In the United States they would
be consulted daily by thousands of per-
sons. Even the directories of the large
cities are rarely available in other cities,
and the searching for addresses is often
the cause for much delay and vexation.
To be sure these sets would cost some
thing, but I believe they could be pre-
pared and published by the government
for from 500 to $3.50 per set. and believe
thousands of sets and hundreds of thou.'
sans of parts of sets would be sold"

Evansville Ind, special: James Eads
How, Of St. Louis, the son of the late
James f. How, formerly vice president
of the Wabash Railway company, who
refused to accept fortune on the
grounds that he did not earn 1t, is in the
city as the guest of the Rev. Riley M.
Barrett. Mr.. How has been visited by
many people since his arrival here and to
all he explains his peculiar philosophy of
life. Mr.. How was asked upon what he
based his philosophy, and he replied:
"Oh, that is very simple. Suppose we
should walking down the street and find
500 note, and could not find the owner.
To, whom would that money belong? We
would have no right to It by the mere
fact of finding 1t. That note would rep
resent somebody's labor. Whoever that
might be would be the real owner, and he
should have the money. But hundreds
might have labored for 1t and to them all
1t belongs. and they should have It, The
wealth l have inherited represents the
labor of hundreds. aye thousands. l had
no part in producing 1t and hold today
that while the title may be vested In me,
am only the trustee for the benefit OF
these who produced 1t. The great work
of the new century, on whose threshold
we stand today, is a readjustment Of So
cial conditions, SO that absolute Justice
may be done to all.'
Mr.. How is at the head of the social
colony at Copville, 8. c., known as the
Brotherhood of Daily Life. He is on his
way to Copville to superintend the work
in the colony, and he expects to devote
most OF his time thereto.

East Randolph, n. ", March IL, 1901
Especial Mrs. L. A. Deacon of this
Town is Vice-President Of the local
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
She is lady Of splendid capabilities,
and these she has always directed to.
wards the uplifting of humanity.
What Mrs. Deacon says is accepted in
East Randolph without question. No
one has ever doubted her truthfulness
or honesty of purpose.
Mrs. Deacon says "My attention
was first called to the remarkable cura.
tive value of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
through the cure Of a literary lady who
was friend of mine, and who from
mental oyerwork was on the verge of
insanity. After the failure of her ply
stefan to help her, her husband was
advised to have her try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, which she did with gratifying re-
suits. She used five boxes before she
was completely cured, but at the end
Of two months treatment, she was her
own happy, brilliant self once more.
Feeling languid and worn out my
self, thought they would perhaps be
help to me, and am very glad to!say
that two boxes made a new woman OF
me. / feel ten years younger, am In
the very best of health. and appreciate
that 1t was entirely through the use Of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. give them high
est endorsement"
These cases are becoming very COM
mon in Cattaraugus County, and many
ladies have had experiences similar to
those Of Mrs. Deacon and her friend.
What Dodds Kidney Pills have done
for these suffering women they will do
for anyone who gives them fair trial.

PRESIDENT BELLAMY's ADDRESS

Des Moines. Ia. March 14.--Probably
20 per cent of all the telephone mileage
In Iowa today outside of the cities has
been built within the past year This
was the estimate of one of the best
informed members of the independent
telephone association in convention in
this city today. The growth of the
rural telephone lines and the indepen-
dent toll lines has been phenomenal.
The president of the association. j..
S. lsellamy, in his annual address de-
clared that the year had been the most
prosperous in the history of telephone
business in Iowa He said that many
new companies had been added and the
old ones had reported prosperity. The
Independent telephone men are glad
that the supreme court of the United
States has decided favorably to the
Berliner patents so that there is no
longer any incentive on the part of the
Independents to sell out TO the trust or
monopoly to escape prosecution for in
Engagements. He recommended that
the Independent exchange companies
should not attempt TO manage the toll
lines connecting them but that work
should be carried on by Independent
companies devoted entirely to long dis
lance phoning. There We're about
forty independent companies repre-
sented at the meeting by about twice
as many delegates.

FOUR BIDS FOR WHOLE.
Board of Control Embarrassed In tho
Cherokee AsyIum Matter.

Des Moines, Ia, March IA The
board of control yesterday opened the
bids on the work to be done at the
new hospital for the insane at Chero-
kee, but will neither let the contracts
nor proceed further in that direction
until relieved of the embarrassment in
which 1T finds itself by reason of the
negligence of the board of trustees
which commenced the work at Chero-
kee. The bids have been opened, but
they are not yet made public. They
are being tabulated and arranged 50
that they are intelligible.
There are but four bidders on the en-
tire construction work, Messrs. Geo,ge
A. Grant, ST. Paul; Bentley, Ryan q
Co. st. Paul; Northern Building COM
pany, Minneapolis, and the Congress
Construction company, Chicago. These
four big concerns made offers on the
entire work With the exception of the
electric wiring, heating and ventilation
and the plumbing. The amount of
their offers was not stated by the
board but it is known that they will
take up most of the 100000 available
for the purpose of erecting these build
ings.
The bidders on portions of the work
We're numerous. Some bid on the
plumbing, some on plastering, some on
a few of the buildings, etc 1t will be
no small task TO decide which bid or
bids are the best. The Work already
done there was by BENTLEY, Ryan & Co
The Chicago firm is one of the biggest
contracting firms in the west. But what
is worrying the board not little is the
fact that until the highways crossing
the tract of GOO acres owned by the
state al Cherokee are vacated no con-
tracts can be let without coming i'm d.
rect conflict with the criminal statutes
of Iowa. The board of trustees left
the matter in bad shape. The high
ways run across and through the tract
in way not compatible with good
management of the hospital The
board passed resolution yesterday
asking that the highways be vacated
and unless this is done the board is

His Letter Became Public.

His Letter Became Public.
Newport, r. l., March 14.-The fol-.
lowing is the reply sent by Rear ADJ
.niral Sampson to Secretary Long in
gegard to the matter of the publication
Of the letter sent to the admiral by
Gunner Morgan:
In replying to the departments let
ter of February rs, 1 have to state that
I did not give Gunner Morgan or any
one else copy of my Endorsement, nor
did l permit any person to see 1t ex-
cept those persons employed In the
preparation of official correspondence
In this office. After having received
my instructions In regard to the con-
tents OF the Endorsement my aide,
Lieutenant f. L.. Bennett, dictated the
Endorsement to the second clerk, =. Il.
Walsh The Endorsement was then
submitted to me for signature and was
then sent with the original letter
through the mail clerk. Arthur Il.
MackaN, to the press to be copied, the
latter mailing the correspondence. This
is the usual routine with official corre-
spondence of which the Endorsement
under discussion was considered to be
a part.

bic to the above persons and Messen-
ger Charles j. Thornton. The only
other inmates of this office are Ser

1t would be impossible for either of
