the Vincennes, Ind, immigrant, who
had been missing for several days. His
body was found in the weeds about a

MITCHELL is PREPARING.
M%arshaling Forces for the Final Re-
movaI fiqht.

Sioux Falls, May 12.-Mitchell has
completed its organization for the cap
ital fight by the election OF officers
who will have charge Of the campaign.
II. L. Bras was made chairman and
former Assistant Public Examiner Lee
Claire, secretary.
The committee has chosen Clate r.
Tinan OF the Kimball Graphic to take
charge Of the newspaper end Of the
campaign, and it is admitted Mitchell
could not have made a better choice.
Than In addition to being n of the
cleverest writer's In the state, is very
popular among the newspaper men, and
his work for Mitchell will doubtless
help that town much in it's ambition to
become the capital Of the state.
Fight Will Be Tame.
It is now generally believed the fight
will be a tame one, because the Mil
waukee and Northwestern railroads
have decided to put little or no money
into the campaign. Mitchell and Pierre
boomers have agreed to use but a small
campaign fund, although it is likely
when the fight wakes warm discretion
will be thrown to the winds and the
"needful' will appear in large guam
titles.
Nevertheless. it is stated on good au-
thority that the railway people realiZ-
ing little can be accomplished by put
ting money into the campaign, for one
road would see the raise of the other
in the game, thereby ~neutralizing the
effect, have decided to stand aside and
let the towns fight it out. The North
western wants Pierre to win and Mil
yaukee favors Mitchell.

~ lra E.E
New York, May 13.1Statistics COM
piled by the board of health show the
population Of the city of New York is
increasing at a remarkably rapid rate.
Births reported in Manhattan Borough
alone during the first four months of
the present yea are 1000 in excess of
those reported in the same period Of
last year..
1t is pointed out that the cosmopol-
itan population and large proportion of
foreigners In the city may account for
the high birth rate. At the same time
that the increase in birth rate is shown,
there has been a falling off in the per-
centage Of deaths. Taking all things
into consideration the board Of health
estimates the population of the city has
grown from 3.437, 202 at the time of the
last federal census in 1900, to 1882, $50
at present.

Manila, May 1O.--Captain John ].
Pershing has completed the circuit OF
Lake Lanao via the east coast from
Camp Vickars. He had a sharp fight
at Taraca, captured ten forts, many
prisoners, thirty-six lantacas and six
rifles. All other Dattos are friendly.
Liberated prisoners destroyed the hos
tile forts and lantacas. Our loss is
two killed, four wounded. Every hos
tile Lanao Datto has now been chas-
tised.
"All Moros know our friendship is
valuable and is freely extended to all
who deserve it. No property save hos
tile forts has been molested. The troops
are returning to Vickars via west
coast. Moro labor is eager for employ
ment on roads and shelter buildings.
The former are about finished and the
latter progressing rapidly. The troops
have behaved splendidly, not only in
~contending with the savage, fanatical
foe, but with dreaded disease; and, be-
sides, the troops had. to construct many
miles of road through the tropical jun
gle. No more hostilities are anticipated
beyond occasional sniping.'

Ing cable to General Davis: "Congrat-
ulate you on work one in Mindanao.
