Assay Returns From Car Load Lots.
Av. in platinum .O.80

Nos. l, 3 and 4 are covelite ores.
There were also two other tests;
the first was an average sample of ore
carrying 0.5 ounce in platinum, and the
second a sample of matte carrying 1872
ounces of platinum to the ton.
The Rambler company has never
gotten gold enough from the ore to 70
ceive pay for. Usually it has assay
ed a little less than O.05 ounce per
ton. Just how the platinum has been

1t had been limited that the game
would not be played for all there was
in it by the Gannetts on account of a

the result eventually had the Nickerys
won. But those who expect the Gan

when they are at the tail end of the

certainly showed no such desire. Sat

most perfect. But il is question wno

Commander NJ. b. Davis and Adj
Jutant General George A. Newman
have issued their last Grand Army
order tor the year. 1t relates to
Memorial day, and, in part, follows:
Each 3Oth of May we have more
graves to decorate; each year fewer
comrades to discharge this sacred
trust; and the time will soon dawn
when this loving task must fall into
hands of IL fellow citizens, of
whom is demanded a deep and loyal
love OF country. 1t is the duty of
every man to love and protect his
country and keep in remembrance
her dead heroes, for the dead so
honored, died to insure a govern
ment tor the people, and to render
the pursuit OF happiness universal.
beg OF you, then, comrades, look
to 1T that this duty is performed
with all reverence and subli1nity;
that this day is not d~esecrated by
games OF sport and holiday amuse-
ments; let all the business houses
and shops be closed; every flag at
hall mast-the symbol of a nation
mourning for a nations dead. Let
there be special services on the Sun
day preceding Memorial day, and
every post commander extend an
invitation to the Women's Relief
Corps, ladies of the 6. A. r., Sons of
Veterans, Iowa National Guard,
Spanish war veterans, and all kind
dred organizations, to attend these
services. Enlist the children in
this duty. Let them assemble to
honor the dead; let them chanttheir
sweetest songs; let every child
place a flower on each grave, re-
membering the sun never matured
a rose too sweet or too lovely to
decorate these lowly mounds. Here
let them learn that great lessons of

The census bureau at Washing-
ton has issued a bulletin
cling that the center of population
OF h United States, not including
Alaska and other territorial access
ions, on June LIST last, was six miles
southeast of Columbus, Batholo-
NEW county in Southern Indiana.
1t is described as latitude 80 de-
grees, 8 minutes, 36 seconds, and
longitude So degrees, As minutes. "a
seconds. In ten years the center of
population has moved westward
fourteen miles and southwark two
and one-halt miles. This is the
smallest movement ever noted by
the census bureau. 1t shows the
population of the western states has
not increased as rapidly as in form
er decades. The southwark move
ment is due largely to the great in
crease in population of the Indian
Territory, Oklahoma and Texas, and
the decreased westward movement
to the large increase in the popula-
ton Of the North Atlantic states.
The center of area of the united
States, excluding Alaska and
Hawaii, and other recent a~ccessions,
is IN Northern Kansas. The center
of population, therefore, is about
three-fourths of a degree south, and
more than 13 degrees east of the
center of area.
