Census Returns for Towns of Less
Than 1000 Population Make
Interesting Study In
Rural Growth.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The director OF
the census today made the following
statement in regard to the increase of
population of places of less than 1000 in
habitants east and weset of the Mssis-
sippi river and the counties which have
decreased in population:
The increase Of population in the states
east of the Mississippi river was 1877 be-
tween 1880 and $780, and 1872 between 1890
and 1900. In the same area the increase
in urban population, meaning thereby all
places of more than 1000 inhabitants, was
53.1 per cent between 1880 and 1890, and
only 37.2 per cent between 1880 and 1900
Both of these statements could not be
true unless the population of placeSe haV-
ing less than 1900 inhabitants had been
growing more rapidly in the last zen
years than in the preceding decade. Such
is the fact. Between 1880 and 1890 the
population east Of the Mississippi and
excluding places of more than 1000, in
creased 40 er cent, but between 1890 and
1900, 8. 7 err cent.
Analysis shows that a gain of popula-
ton in the last decade was reported from
every county of Minnesota and North Da-
kota and every county but one of Iowa.
In South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas,
on the contrary, there were large areas,
mostly in the western part and Sparsely
settled, for which a decrease of popula-
ton was reported. The tide of migration
in 1890 had ushed up the slopes of lne
great plains further than conditions war
ranted and in the last decade the wave
has been receding, depicting these areas
adm filling UP the rural counties of such
states as Iowa and Illinois. In Iowa the
per cent farea losing population fell
from 30 between 1873 Oand 1890 to 1.6 be-
tween 1890 and 1900.
In other words, over about quarter of
each state the opulation decreased be-
tween 1880 and 1890 only to increase in
the last ten years. In no other important
states has there been so marked a change.

POINT FOR OSTEOPATHS
IOWA JUDGE RULES THEY CAN
HAVE CERTIFICATES.

DIES MONIES. Ia, Feb S-District
Judge Holmes directed the issuance of a
writ Of mandamus today to compel the
state board of medical examiners to issue
certificates to graduates of the S. S. Still
College of OSteopathy in Des Moines, in
accordance with the provisions Of the
statutes. The board had refused to issue
certificates to graduates of any college
of Osteopathy on the ground that the
standard of the schools was not salts
factory.
The law provides that the board shall
issue certificates to graduates of those
institutions which are in good repute
as osteopathic colleges. An arbitrary
standard was fixed by the board which
then declared that no school Of osteo-
pathy could maintain a satisfactory.
standard.
@. T. Parsons, of Des Moines, applied
for writ of mandamus to compel the
board to issue him a certificate under
the law. Judge Holmes, deciding the
case, said that the action and refusal
Of the board were captious, arbitrary
