The Population Of China.

During the European difficulties
with China no little divergence Of
opinion was expressed as to the popu-
lation Of that great Asiatic empire.
A new census of China has just been
completed and the returns indicate
that the population has been rather
underestimate than overcalculated.
At least it shows the enormous total
population of 426, 447, 900, according
TO the cabled reports. The number of
inhabitants in Manchuria, Mongolia,
Thibet and Turkestan was only esti-
mated. Thus more than one-fourth
of the world are contained within the
Chinese empire. Even the British
empire, with its vast possessions on
every continent, has 10000, 900 less
inhabitants than China. In 1890 E..
G. Ravenstein estimated the inhabi-
tants OF the earth at 1,4e7, 600, 900.
Since then the number has increased
at least 62,lOO, 900. making a present
total of 1850, 600, O0O.-Leslie IS

The board of commissioners have
been in session since Monday morning,
but as the record is not yet made up
we cannot give full particulars.
They. however. made the usual al
lowances, let the contract for building
the Strawde. man and Knoll bridges to
the Rochester Bridge Company, and
decided to erect six stone arch bridges
in Bourbon and Tippecanoe townships,
but the Specifications have not yet
been made.
These stone arches over small
streams, when properly constructed
of nigger-head stone will last almost
forever and 1t costs no more to put an
arch over a small stream than an iron
bridge.
In fact it has been proven in this
county that they can be built over
streams of considerable size.
The arch at Bremen is said to be
the largest ''niggerhead arch in the
world and it looks like it would stand
500 years.
Besides the regular routine business
and the bridge business, the commits
sioners have granted Robert Kinkade
a.license to retail liquors at Bremen
and have visited the county farm and
found the crops, the buildings and in
mates in good condition.

Additional Local.

The annual state encampment of
the Sons of Veterans and the Ladies
Aid Society was opened at Peru
Tuesday afternoon at the Webb
Theater. Mayor Odum made the ad.
dress of welcome, and Judge Advocate
Ira Christian, Of NobleSville, re-
Sponded. James F. Statesman, of
Peru, made felicitous address to the
ladies, to which response made by
Miss Addie Williams, of Indianapolis,
national president of the organization.
Business sessions of both organiza-
tions followed.
From all parts of the country come
reports of Fourth of July accidents Of
all sorts, and from everywhere walls
and protests against the free use of
of explosives on this patriotic ami

cessive year, but next Fourth will see
an equal number of disasters and be
filed with an equal amount Of nerve
destroying news. 1t is the American
fashion to protest at the wrong time
and in the wrong way, to forget all
about the evil when something might
really be done to remedy it.

years messenger of the Adams tx
press company, was badly hurt at the
Vandalia station in this city Tuesday
evening. He was helping to load a
heavy box of meat, was standing in
the car pulling with all his strength
at the end of a rope which broke and
caused him to fall with great force
out OF the opposite side Of the car.
His back struck tie and the side Of
his head struck rail. He was badly
bruised and was taken at once to his
home at Terre Haute. He is about
20 years old.

What Shall We Eat and Drink.


Not long ago student in one Of our
universities died and inquiry was
made of his roommate as to the cause
of his death. ''He tried TO live on
health principles, was the answer,
land he couldn't stand it,"
The reply was not so naive as ap-
pears at first glance. There was pro-
found truth in it, in spite Of the con-
tradiction. If the advice Of various
physicians and other authorities on
matters pertaining to health were fol-
lowed there would be nothing left to
eat or drink. DR.. Wiley, chemist for
the department Of agriculture, says
1.-THE devil turks Ia the soda water
fountain and iced tea is simply sui
cide." In the same breath he calls
attention to the danger that Turks in
vegetables grown on or under ground
which has been exposed to contamina-
ton by sewage, city waste or garbage.
The free use of meat is condemned
in hot weather, and even the vege.
tables grown under healthy conditions
are denounced as watery and innutri-
tious. Milk is dangerous. even though
the COW is known and her environ
ment declared favorable for who
knows what latent seeds of disease
Turk In her system, the Inheritance
from remote ancestry! Cereals are
condemned as satisfying the appetite
and fiesh-producing, but affording
little vitality and not to be depended
on as a steady diet.
What are we to drink? Nothing
containing alcohol. Of course. and no
soft drinks, for who can tell what
poisonous concoctions are hidden in
the sparkling fluid. On no account is
one to drink water before it is analyz-
ed, for If the devil turks in iced tea
the deadly microbe is waiting his
chance in the water. The only safety
seems to lie in total abstinence from
eating and drinking.
Fortunately humankind was born
with propensity for forbidden fruits.
and there is little danger that the ad-
vice of chemists and physicians will be
followed too strictly. Most people will
defy "health principles" and live in
spite OF the doctors. enron

There was no occasion for this wild
race disturbance In Evansville, other
than that a drunken negro had
killed policeman. OF course, this
was enough to create undue excire-
ment, but it was not sufficient to turn
a large proportion of the irresponsible
whites in the community against the
whole negro population and start a
race war that not only brings shame
upon the whole city, but causes death
and desolation among those who are
wholly innocent of any wrong doing.
The entire city was practically In a
state Of anarchy, and the local author
tiles being unable to control the vi
cious mob, the state militia was called
into requisition with the result of the
order, "Shoot to kill" being given
after all other efforts towards pacify-
ing the turbulent masses had failed.

Last Confederate Warship.

1t stirs curious thrill of memory
to learn that a powerful iron-clad
monitor, built ia England for the
Southern Confederacy and intended to
lay waste New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, has just been sunk off
the Newfoundland banks. She went
to Bermuda in 1854 to refit for her de.
scent on the American coast and was
seized 10y the British government.
She had been lying IN Bermuda har-
bor ever since and of late years has
been used by the British navy as a
target for gun practice. Having been
sunk in this sport, she was sold to a
Boston firm, which was towing her to
st. John when she sank at sea in a
storm. 1t is an ignoble end for the
last rebel ship Minneapolis Trib-
une.

morning after long illness caused by
cancer.

with watching and taking care of her
husband. but during the night she
was taken suddenly i'll and died in a
few minutes.
Mr.. Mcfarland was about "a years
old and his wife was about four years
younger. The funeral was held at l

Evansville Disgraced!

The Evansville situation is a good
illustration of a race riot, pure and
simple. For this reason it is more
serious matter than the kindred Of
Tense of lynchiDg.
Had the Evansville mob broken in
to the jail, taken the negro murderer
out and hanged him, Indiana S second
city would have taken her place
among the numerous other disgraced
communities of the last few years.
But with the possibility Of sum-
mary vengeance on the murderer re-
moved, Evansville committed an even
graver offenSe. because there was less
plea of justification for it. by turning
against the negro population Of the
town. The mob attempted the wan
ton murder of innocent citizens to
satisfy feeling Of bitterness that was
aroused 10y the crime of one colored
man.
We hardly know where to look now
for immunity from race prejudice. 1t
breaks out everywhere. 1t is the most
serious problem in this country today.
1t has been argued that education will
solve it.. but the fact that the white
people, with their superior education
are usually the .aggressors IN these
race riots, tends to the belief that if
it is education that is needed, it must
be along entirely different lines.-In-

Allison says: There is an ample sup
ply of home capital and banking ia
cIIities TO furnish money to run the
business of the state. We are borrow
ing very little western money. The
old mortgages have been paid off, and
whatever new ones there are have been
created for productive purposes ana
can easily be met at any time, so that
a general condition Of prosperity re-
mains.' The same is largely true in
Indiana, and probably in every state
Of the central west. 1t has not been
many years since western farmers were
begging for loans OF eastern money:
now eastern capital has hard work to
ind borrowers.

Dear Sir: The annoyance caused by
short measure in pants. that are sold
by the gallon" is worse than the
loss by the shortage. Misled by the
makers representations as to how far
gallon will go, you buy too little of
every sort, and must send for more in
the midst of the work.
Besides, a short measure man is,
doubtless, also cheater in other ways:
his paint is likely to cover perhaps
two-thirds as much as he says. This
also you find out while the work is
going on. and the painting must wait
while you send for more.
Even this is not all, nor the worst.
II it wears half as long as he says, you
are lucky. You have the whole job to
do Iagain in year or two.; and per-
haps your paint is not really good for
that short time.
One law Of lying is that liars lie
most where it's hardest to catch 'em.
Another is that a liar lies wherever he
can.
Look out for short measure. Itin-
cludes all the rest. Devoe Ready
