Washington, Jan. 8.-The census
bureau issued report today giving
the population of the continental
United States, Alaska and the insu-
lar possessions, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
the Philippine islands, Guam and
American Somoa
The twelfth cersus extended over
only two Of these outlying districts,
Alaska and Hawaii, but the census
office has obtained the best available
information regarding the population
Of the other portions Of the United
States and prepared the following
table, showing the present popula

The estimate for the Philippine
Islands is made by the statistican to
the Philippine commission in a let
ter to the census Office.
The total population of the United
States at the close of the nineteenth
century was about 84,250,000. As
the population Of the United States
at the beginning of the century was
about five and third millions, the
nation has grown nearly sixteenfold
IN one hundred years.
There are only three countries
which now have "a greater population
than the United States, China, the
British Empire and the Russian EN-
pire. China and the British EN-
plre have each of them probably be-
tween 35O,000,000 and 400,O00,OOO,
or together nearly one-halp of the
total population of the earth The
Russian Eihpire, with about 131 ,000,-
600 people, has more than as many

been increasing during the century
just closed with greater rapidity than
any other European power.

Brockway Course.

The indianapolis News says OF George Riddle,
who comes to the l.yceum next Monday night:
''Nr. Riddle mtods each succeeding action
and motive OF the tragedy with dramatic intensity
and fascinating power. As his pcrsonagcs are to
grow before us, he does not at first characterize
them too strongly, but beginning with a shadowy
portrait that is wonderful only in the possibil-
tiles of which it seems capable, lie throws more
and more light upon them with each sentence lie
utters in their persons, and with each gesture or
facial expression that apparently is made with
such ease. Mr. Riddle is, perhaps, peculiarly
adapted to read the dramas OF the great French
writer, the terse, epigrammatic style seeming to
be not an unnatural mode of expression to him.
In none of his previous readings has Mr.. Riddle
shown kecncr appreciation"

| 1t Is true the most annoying symp-
| toms, like stoppage of the nose ana
| throat trouble, are purely local, but
| they are simply symptoms and the real
seat Of disease is far removed
Catarrh is constitutional disease,
blood disorder complicated usually
with disease of the liver, and to sup
pose that local applications of sprays,
powders, inhalers, could ever reach
the real cause of the trouble is ridicu-
lous.
The sensible and successful treat
ment is to remove the catarrhal poison
from the system by regulating the
liver and purifying the blood, and this
can only be done by an internal REM
edy, which should consist of antisep-
ties and remedies to act vigorously on
the blood and liver.
The best preparation of this kind
which fills all the requirements of
safe constitutional treatment is
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, composed Of
Blood Root Red Gum and similar
wholesome antiseptics, which are abb
soutely safe to take into the stomach
and which act upon the liver stomach
| and mucuous membrane.
| Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
| pleasant tasting lozenges, to be slowly
| dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching
| the mucous membrane and wi1id-pipe
and finally reaching the stomach.
DR.. Edmondson, in speaking of the
| new treatment for catarrh, says: Il
have accomplished the most satisfac-
| tory results in all forms of catarrh Of
! the head, throat, bronchial tubes as
| we'll as catarh of the stomach and
liver, by using nothing else but Stuart's
! Catarrh Tablets. | long since threw
aside sprays and inhalers as being in
convenient and at the best mere tenn
porary male-shifts.
| Stuart's Catarrh Tablets act imme-
diately upon the liver and blood and
clear the whole system of catarrhal
poison. They are pleasant and very
| convenient to use, and they are not
| only the latest but l believe them to
be the best and certainly the safest
treatment for any form of catarrh."

Tablets at 80 cts. for full sized pack

ABOUT CATARRH CURES.
The Reason Why Inhalers and Local
Applications Are Useless.

For many years catarrh was con-
sidered to be a local disease and was
treated entirely by local remedies,
salves, ointments powders sprays
and inhalers, and nearly all of these
gave temporary relief, but genuine
permanent cure was very rare.
