NO CONCERT ON GREEN
 TOMORROW NIGHT

No concert will be given by the American band on the green tomorrow night. notwithstanding all announce ments to the contrary. No permission has been given for the concert. Chler Egan was informed to-day that Mayor Elton, who issued permission for the band concert last week, has not grant I'd any permission for concert on tne green this week. The mayor was out of town to-day and consequently nus reasons for refusing to grant perm1s- sion could not be ascertained. The public. which turned en masse at the meeting last week. will be disappointed when they hear that 10 concert will be permitted tomorrow night. The large crowd last week acted orderly and It was thought that half dozen or more band concerts would be permitted on the green.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Republicans Simply Getting Party in
 Shape for the Fall Election.

One of the nabobs of the republican party told Democrat reporter to-day that the article published in this paper the past week with reference to re- publican politics was a tride oyer- drawn. s4The legitimate work of the canvassers," he said, 'sis to get the party in shape for the fall elections, and while 1t is true that some little feeling exists among those who have the matter in hand regarding leader ship, still in general way all are aiming at the same end. suppose a time will come when the KeIloggs and
 Burpees will have to step aside for younger blood but I think it is a long ways off, and besides I don't think they have much to fear from the Du- rants and Kelseys. To be honest with you think you people have been
 misinformed so far as the Kelsey and Peasley influence is concerned Neither of these men would do any thing that would leave them open to censure from a party standpoint and when the time comes you'll see them
 lined up with the regulars. Durant is out against the field, but his work won't amount to anything because the people haven't faith in him.
 Notwithstanding this, and 1t comes from very reliable source, others who are in a position to know what is going on, claim that already Ducant has his foes beaten to a standstill in the first ward, has them on the run in the fourth and fifth, and that unless all signs Of the times fail he will give them close brush in the second and third. The canvass is being conduct ed with such vigor by all factions that many are growing tired of it and in one or two instances the workers have received a very scant reception. They are overriding 1t and people are beginning to suspect that there is more selfishness than party loyalty behind the scramble to induce folks to enroll for the preliminaries.

Census Eiaures.

wise decision by the United States
Census Bureau is that OF making annu-
al estimates of our population, In order
hat a correct basis for the computation
of bi,ths and deaths may be established.
In that connection our census figures
always have fascination, showing as
they DO the marvellous growth of Our
country. The bulletin just issued gives
the estimated population of the Cnitel
States for 1903, exclusive of Alaska and
the insular possessions of the United
States, as 79.90O.3S9. This is an in
crease of S.905.S14 since the census of
1900. This is reckoned on 43S cities
having 10000 or more in 1900.
The chief cities are classified as fol-

Keep still. When trouble is brew

ting OH his legs, keep still. When
your feelings are hurt, keep still. till
you recover from your excitement at
any rate. Things look differently
through an unagitated eye. In COM
motion once l wrote a letter ana
sent it. and wished | had not. In my
later years | had another commotion,
and wrote Il long letter: but life rubbed
n little sense into me and | kept that
letter in my pocket against the day
when l could look it over without agi-
tation and without tears. I was glad l
did. Less and less it seemed necessary
to send it. l was not sure it would do
any hurt but in my doubtfu!ness
leaned to reticence, and eventually 1t
was destroyed. Time works wonders.
Wait till you speak calmly, and then
you will not need to speak maybe. 81
