TO STOP HAZING.
Presidents Of Various Classes of Ca
diets mt West Point Agree to
End Practice,

West Point. N. Y. Jan. 21.-Hazing
at West Point military academy is at
an end. The Investigating committee
of congress, aided by the wide publ
cation of the reports of the testi-
mony given at that trial, has brought
forth from the upper classmen of the
academy voluntary letter affirming
that, owing to the feeling which is
evident throughout the country
against the practice of hazing, the
custom would be abandoned. This
communication is signed first by the
president of the first class and after
by the presidents of the classes of the
years following.
The letter. while announcing the
intention of the upper classmen to do
away with the customs which had
been prevalent in the institution for
many years, at the same time COM
ments upon the fact that the aboli-
ton of the practice is approved not
because the cadets deem that aught
of Importance has been charged
against the system. but rather be-
cause it appears to be the opinion
of the American people as a whole
that it be done away with. The text
of the letter is as follows:
"West Point N. Y. Jan. 10, 1901-To the
superintendent of the United States Mill
tary Academy-Sir: Having become cog
infant of the manner in which the system
OF hazing, as practiced at the military
academy is regarded by the people of the
United States, we. the cadets of the
United States military academy, while
maintaining that we have pursued our
system from the best motives, yet realiz-
Ing that the deliberate judgment of the
people should in a country like ours be
above all other considera tons, do reaf-
firm our former action abolishing the ex-
ercising Of fourth class men, and do
further agree to discontinue hazing the
requiring of fourth class men to eat any,
thing against their desire and the prac-
t1ce of calling out fourth class men by
class action, and that we will not devise
other similar practices to replace those
abandoned.
Respectfully submitted.

Tradition says woman must suf-

There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Growth of the State.

Director Merriam has completed the
computation of the population of Min
nesota, and he has issued a bulletin
which says:
The population of the state in 1900
is !,7ol :''94' as compared with a popu-
latlon I'm 1890 of 1901, 1926, showing an
increase since 1890 of 449, 56s, or 345
per cent. A part of this increase is
due to the fact that there were s20s
Indians and 249 other persons. or a to-
tai of s,457 persons, on Indian reserya-
tons, etc., in Minnesota, who were
specially enumerated in 1890 under the
provisions of the census act, but was
not included in the general population
OF the state at that census. The in
crease OF 34.5 per cent, though materi-
ally less than that of earlier decades,
represents in fact large accession to
the population of a state which has
been distinguished for its rapid growth
throughout its brief history. Atten-
ton is particularly arrested by the in
lux OF population this territory dur
ing the decade from 1850 to 1860, when
the humber Of inhabitants increased
from 6,977 to 1908, ore, $780, per cent.
The population of Minnesota in 1900
IS more than 2sS times as large as that
given for 1850, the first census in which
the population of the territory, now
comprising the state, was enumerated.
The total land surface of Minnesota
u.s. approximately, 9,2o5 square miles,
the average number of persons to the
square mile at at the censuses of 1890
being as follows: 1890, 1874; 1900, %. /.
All of the eighty-two counties in the
state have increased in population dur
ing the decade, the counties showing
more than 100 per cent of increase be.
ing Beltrami, 8, 1853 per cent; Cook,
1858 per cent; Cass, 5237 per cent;
ltasca, 5155 per cent; Hubbard, 365. 6

Mlllelacs, 1885 per cent. and Altkin,
1889 per cent. There are also twenty.
four counties which have increased in
population more than so per cent but
