Here in Cavalier county the bulletin
gives some interesting figures that show
how The population of the county is dis
tributed. The census of 1890 does not
admit of comparisons with that of last
year except in the cases of Langdon
aud Milton, which make showing in
the proper direction. Particularly so in
the case Of Langdot,, which outreaches
the older town of Park Riverin population
by an even hundred. The older townships
naturally are the cen,ers of population,
Olga, Hope, Montrose, Loan, Linden
and Harvey, all being we'll to the fore
front, figures giving C mparisons of their
population to-day and ten years ago
would make interesting reading had they
been obtaipable. A glance at the list of
Townships organized in the south and
western paris of the county shows where
the incoming of new settlers has doubled
our population in the last ten years. The
figures below tell the result OF the census
taken in Cavalier county last June:

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.


1t Is easy to keep well If we would only
observe each day a few simple rules of
health.
The alI-important thing is to keep the
stomach right. and to do this il is not
necessary to diet or to follow set rule
or bill of fare. Such pampering simply
makes a capricious appetite and feeling
that certain favorite articles of food must
be avoided
Prof. Wicchold gives pretty good advice
on this subject. He says: Il am sixty
eight years old and have never had a Sc
r1ous Illness, and at the same time my
life has been largely an indoor one, but
early discovered that the way to keep
healthy was To keep a healthy stomach,
not by eating bran crackers or dieting of
any sort; on the contrary. / always eat
what my appetite Graves. but for the past
eight years | have made il a daily prac-
tice to take one or two of Stuart's Dys-
pepSia Tablets after each meal, and at
tribute my robust health for "A man Of
my age TO the regular daily use of STU
arts Tablets.
my physician first advised mo TO use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not secret patent
medicine, but contained only the natural
dlgestiVes, pepton"s and diastase, and
after using them few weeks | have
never ceased to thank him for his advice.
Il honestly believe the habit of taking
stuart $ Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is
the real health habit, because their use
brings health to- the sick and ailing and
preserves health to the well and strong"

sides were excluded from the courtroom,
those summoned for the defence being
sent to one of the ante rooms and those
for the Government to another The
greater number of the witnesses for the
prosecution are women. and il was these,
it was said, that AN effort WIS made to

SMALLPOX TRACED TO RAWLs.
Another Victim of Exposure at
Frceamcn's IiesDital

Another case Of smallpox has been
traced to the presence of the colored man
Rawls, who was confined for two or
three days in one of the big wards of
Freedmen's Hospital Walter Jones was
confined there at the time, but was dis
charged before Rawls was removed. He
was found yesterday suffering with the
disease at 4ul X Street southwest and was
removed to the smallpox hospital The
house was placed under quarantine
one of the precautions taken by the
Health Department when it was learned
that Rawls had been in the ward mt the
hospital with other persons was to take
the names of all who had been in the hos
pital at the time and to keep watch over
them. This was tho manner in which
Jones was kept track of and removed to
the hospital rs soon as he showed signs
of the attack.
