board Of health on the subject of the

point beyond the Tennessee line.
Unless this is done the state quaran

STOP BUYING MULES AND HORSES
British Army officers Instructed Not
to Purchase Amy More in the
United States.

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 5.-The
British War Office will buy no more
mules and horses in the United States.
Orders to that effect were received
by the British army officers stationed
here, and who have had charge Of the
purchases and shipment Of stock
They have been ordered to cease all
further purchase, to ship all mules
and horses they have on hand, and tC
close the agency not later than May l
1t is denied that this action is due
to the suit in the United States Court
brought by the Boer agents, Generals
Pearson and Van Ness, to prevent, by
injunction, the shipment of animals to
South Africa for army use.
The shipments to date amount to
SO, 750 horses ank mules, and there are
1000 more head under contract in Mis-
souri, and Texas.
The total expenditures in this
country on the part of the British
War Department for the purchase Of
horses and mules, and their provender,
is in the neighborhood Of S25, 100000.

WHATS IN 4 NAME7
(Bensohs Plaster Is Pains Masisr.)

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur.
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary a cent in twenty years.
The very name Of Oliver Ames 4 Son, was
a synonym for honesty. 1t was current ali
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To saw ii is good plaster does
not describe it 10 is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as a matter of course.
Benson,s Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exAsperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds, lumbago
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc, are at Snos benefited and soon cured.
Cspsioum, Strengthening and BellAdonna
plasters have none Of the curative virtues
Of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson'i
Plaster as q remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in I

MRS. NATION DIsLIKEs ST. LOUIS
Saloon Smasher Says She Will Not
Lecture Again for Money.

ST.. LOUIS, April 2.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, of Kansas, spent another hour
and half In st. Louis this morning
and left in disgust at the things she
saw and the treatment she received.
She arrived from indianapolis over
the Big -Four at 7:3O O'Clock and left
at O'Clock for Kansas City over the
Wabash. She said she was going home
to attend to the cases that are pending
there against her. She says she will
never lecture for money any more, as
she did in Cincinnati. The lectures
did not pay, and she says she is glad
they didn't, and adds: "I'll keep on
talking and working. Maybe I'll
smash. Iexpect / will. But l won't
go on the lecture platform.
Mrs. Nations first act on arriving
in the city was to knock cigar from
the mouth of a man who permitted
smoke to blow in her face. Her last
act, as she was boarding her train,
was to give an American Beauty rose
to a man named Englehart, from Chi
cago, who had two black eyes.
Mrs. Nation ate a breakfast Of rolls,
sausage and coffee in the second-class
waiting-room, visited 2 Market street
saloons, engaged in heated fuments
with the bartender, and finally was
forced from the Nation saloon, which
she visited on her previous passage
through st. Louis. A crowd that
packed the saloon gathered about Mrs.
Nation when she began to talk to Jo-
seph Sauerberger, who stood behind
the bar. Sauerberger grew excited
and began to argue angrily. He
grabbed seltzer bottle and shook it
in Mrs. Nations face. She didn't
move. He drew his revolver and told
her to leave or he would shoot her and
somebody else, too. She made her way
to the street and delivered speech to
the crowd there.

that science has been able to cure in all It's
stages and that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now knowu to the
medical fraternity Catarrh being a oonstitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional treat

acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing Its work. The proprie-

CLEMENCY FOR AGUINALDo.
Permission to Allow Him to Take the
Oath of Allegiance is Viewed in
Washington as Generous.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Aguinaldo
was wise as well as smart when he
took the advice Of Chief Justice Arel-
lano and accepted the terms of the
amnesty proclamation and took the
oath of allegiance TO the government
of the United States rather than run
the chances of an investigation into
his treatment of American soldiers
who fell as prisoners into his hands.
The President and the officials of
the War Department feel that his
action has simplified matters consid-
erably, for they must apply to him as
to all others the terms of the amnesty
proclamation in good faith. 1t will
not be necessary now to investigate
his recod or try him by court martial,
not even TO spank him with shingle,
as Secretary Long suggested. He
goes entirely free, without paying any
penalty whatever, an example Of the
generosity Of the government, not
withstanding the simultaneous publi-
cation Of one Of his proclamations,
probably his latest, in which he
orders his generals to shoot their
prisoners, provided the American
commanders win not give three Fill
pinos in exchange for each Of them.
Aguinaldo will be kept under
surveillance, however. He will be
allowed to remain in Manila, and
will probably be required to stay there,
because an oath to a man of his char
acter is simply a matter of conven-
ience. But great good is expected
to follow his action. 1t is believed
that it will end the insurrection, and
that he will soon issue a pronuncia-
mento to his followers, recommending
them also to take the oath and submit
to the authority of the United States.

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.
Where it Has Been, and Where the
Next Census May Show 1t to Be.


By the first national census taken
in 1890, when the population of the
country was not much greater than Of
New York City to-day, the center of
population was twenty-three miles
east of Baltimore. 1t was still in the
neighborhood of Baltimore, though to
the west Of that city, in 1900. In 1910
it was near Washington. In 1920 it was
at Woodstock, VT, and in 1880, lS40
and 1850 in the present state of West
Virginia. In 1850 it was little to
the south of Chilllcothe, o., this be-
ing the first official appearance of
Ohio as the center of population,
though it has remained the political
center Of population steadily ever
since.
In 1870 the center Of population was
on line in Ohio between Chillicothe
and Cincinnati; in 1880 it was in the
neighborhood of Cincinnati, and in
1890, the year of the last national CEN
sus, it was in Decatur county, Ind,
near the Ohio boundary, and on line
between Cincinnati and indianapolis.
The government estimate Of the
present population of the United
States, exclusive of countries over
which it's sovereignty has been eX-
tended, was 75,000,0 600 on June !, and
all sections of the country have par
ticipated, though not equally, in the
growth Of population since 1890, when
it was $4,000, 900.
By the coming census the Ohio and
Mississippi Valley states will probably
be shown to have gained less from
direct foreign emigration than in any
previous decade, while the citizens of
the middle and New England states
have, relatively, gained more. There
has been a substantial increase in
population, larger, probably, than in
any period since the close of the Civil
War, in the Southern and South bor-
der states, and much larger increase
in those of the Southwest, most nota-
bly, in Texas, the total vote Of which
increased from 100000 in 1880 to $40, :
600 in 1890 and $4,000 in 1896. The
population Of Texas (2,2OO,0 900 in 1890
is probably near 100000.
A state census taken of Kansas in
1895, on the other hand, showed the
population of that State to be less
than in 1890, while in the same period
the population of New Jersey had in
creased 16 per cent. Between 1890
and 1895 the population of Florida in
creased from 100000 to 465,00O, while
the population Of South Dakota $685.
900 in 1S9O) was returned as 100000
five years later.
The growth of population in Amer
ican states between 1890 and 1900 will
be in accordance with the increase of
the urban population in each rather
than with the gain in agricultural
districts. AS a majority of the cities
are in the North, it appears likely
that the "center of population" in
1900 will be on or near the banks of
the Wabash in the State Of Indiana,
at some point northwesterly from
the present center and nearer the
Illinois than the Ohio state line.
