seFfous LDss IN POPULATION.
London, April 3. - The depopulation
OF India through famine and cholera is
assuming alarming proportions. The
latest advices from Simla say the GEN.
sus returns of the central provinces
show a decrease Of yer 1000, 900 since
1891. when under normal conditions an
increase of 1.50O. 900 might have been
expected. 1t is estimated hat 5000, 900
OF persons have died in India since
1896 from causes directly due to the
famine. In Western India things are
even worse. The Oodeypoor State re-
turns show a decrease OF 81 1000. or 45
per CEN of the population; the State
OF Bhopaul shows a decrease of $685.
600. and the District of sands shows a
decrease OF 124, 600. In Bombay city
the population has diminished by 3d.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. April 9.-OfHcers

a regularly organized band of horse
thieves who for several months have

practice to run stolen animals into
North Dakota, where they are disposed
of. Suspicion strongly points to cer-
tain individuals as being the chief
members of the band, and their arrest
will doubtless follow in a short time.
