The sad news was received here last
week of tie death of Miss Tina Am
brosch which occurred in Spokane, Wash
ington, during the previous week. Miss
Ambrosch was 20 years of age and grew
from babyhood to womanhood in this
city where .she was very popular. Her
death was primarily caused by an acci-
dent to her hip received by being thrown

the past two months she has been re-

but without avail. She was buried at
Spokane.
The center of population Of the Uni
ted States, as announced by the census
department Saturday, is about seven
miles southeast of Columbus, Ind. Ten
years ago 1t was twenty miles east of the
same city. The first census, that of 1890,
fixed the population center near Balti-
more. In the past 1 10 years this pivot
al point has moved west ward 523 miles,
but at no time has it been more than
twenty miles north or south of its orig1-
nal latitude. Maryland had it twice,
Virginia twice, West Virginia thrice,
Ohio thrice and Indiana twice.-Tracy

P. II. McHale last week resigned his
position as manager of the Western In
ion telegraph company's Office in this
city to acceptla more lucrative and res
ponsible position with the Eagle Roller

graph are sorry to lose him from that
office but are equally pleased to know
that his new occupation opens for him
much broader field and far greater
prospects for advancement. The West
ern Union is now in charge of W. r.
Powell of Mankato, gentleman whom
we feel certain will give tie patrons Of
the office the best of satisfaction.
