profound regret that VIC heard OF

were intimately acquainted with
him, aud knew him to be possess
ed Of many admirable traits of

cause of his death, and not thro'
any fault OF his. God In his intin-
ito wisdom saw ilt to aiilict him
with the most terrible malady that
1t Is possible to bcfall the human
race. His old time friends here
will cast the broad mantel VI char

On Worlds Fair Ground July I the
Boer Hero Welded Widow of
Former COmrade.

st. Louis, July AIN the free coun-
try whose independence the old Boer
hero, Piet Cronje, fought so hard to
secure for his own native land and on
the natal day of this country came to
a pretty climax, romance which had
its beginning only after bitter defeat

Colenso and Paardeburg, attended by
hundreds Of comrades and enemies-at-
arms, Gen. Cronje wed the widow Of
a former comrade, Mrs. Johanna Stert-
eel. whose loss in the war, which rent
the home of the Beers, was only
equalled by that of the old warrior
whose mate was also taken away dur
ing the bitter struggle for freedom.
At the Boer war concession, one Of
the most interesting features of the
worlds fair grounds, July 4, the cere-
mony took place. The couple had as
attendants the GOO and more Britons
and Beers who are gathered in St.

Of the battles of Colenso, a Boer vic
tory. and Paardeburg, where Gen.
Cronje had made his last stand and
was, after fierce bombardment, COM

WILL 1T AFFECT FoLKp
Indictment Against Col. ED" But.
Ter at st. Louis May Start Some
thing I'm Politics.

st. Louis, July 1.-Politicians are
wondering II the latest Indictment
against COL ED" Butler will affect
the nomination of Circuit Attorney Jo-
seph w. Folk for governor. Since the
supreme court a month ago released
Butler the "old man" has been say
ing pleasant things Of the prosecutor
and the belief was growing that har-
mony in the democratic ranks here
would be restored. However, the latest
confessions by Kelly and Gutke and
subsequent action by the grand jury
shows that Folk is pursuing Butler
with all the vigor at his command.
Butler Is charged with aiding Kelly
to escape and with furnishing him
money for his travels in Europe to
avoid turning up" men who furnished
the bride money for the lighting bill
steal.
Buffers indictment Is based on the
confession of Kelly, who says that But
Ter gave him $50, 1000 to silence him un-
I'll after the statute of limitations
would go into effect, $4,000 before his
flight to Canada and Europe and $685.
600 after his return. The probable in
dictment Of the politician who signs
himself Jim" will rest on the state
ment Of Kelly that this person sent him
$500 while he was in Canada to infiu-
ence him to stay away longer than was
at first thought necessary.
Butler, who has been the counselor,
bondsman and stout friend to the
boodlers from the beginning Of the ex-
pose, denying none of them succor and
standing by them hip, shoulder and
fortune, suddenly turned upon Kelly
and Gutke and hurried to the home Of
Sheriff Dickmann to order their ar
rest. II withdraw from the bonds of
Kelly and Gutke; arrest them at once"
said he. 1t was the first time he had
turned upon any Of the members Of the
ring. Always he has stood firm for
them and he has let them know that
come what could they could depend
upon the Colonel" Butler was the
principal bondsman of Kelly and
Gutke. having subscribed $4,000 upon
each of their bonds.

OVER NINE MILLIONS
America Has More Negroes Than
Any Nation Except Africa.
Census Statistics Show the south
Has Ninety Per Cent. of Blacks
white Blood in Many Of
Their Veins.

Washington. July 1.-The census
bureau has issued the final bulletin
on the negro population. The number
Of negroes in the United States, in
Guiding the entire area covered by the
twelfth census continental United
States, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico)
is 9,204,53l, perhaps a larger number
than is found in any other country out
side of Africa.
The report indicates that between II
and 16 per cent. of negroes have white
blood. The center of the negro popula-
ton is in DeKalb county, Ala, having
moved from Dinwiddie county, Va, 476
miles northeast, since 1890. More than
n per cent. Of the negroes live in the
country, against more than 81 per cent.
Of the whites Almost 80 per cent. of
the ngroes In continental United States
are in the southern states and three
tenths of them are IN Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. There was an
increase among the negroes Of 1,445,-
31S, or Is per cent, in continental
United States, but the rate of increase
declined steadily through the nine
teenth century. The negroes, unlike
the Indians and the native white, have
q slight excess Of females. Illiteracy
among them is about seven times
greater than among the whites. Their
death rate approximates 30 per cent,
while that OF whites under the same
calculation is II per cent.
The district in which the proportion
Of negroes is greatest lies in the Mis-
sissippi alluvial region along both
banks of the lower Mississippi, where
five-eighths of the population is negro,
the maximum being in Issaquena coun-
ty, Miss, with more than Is negroes
to each white person. Negroes form
one-third Of the population of the
south, while in the north they are
about one-fortieth of city and one
ninetieth of country population. Half
the negroes in the United States are
under 10 years old. this median age
being four years below the whites.
