In only six states. Maryland. Michigan.
Ohio. Illinois. Kentucky and Indiana, did
the proportion decrease in each Of the
ave decades: and In only Delaware. Dis
trict Of Columbia, Wisconsin, Minnesota.
Iowa, oregon and Colorado did Il follow
the tendency of the country as a whole
that r. increase from 1850 TO 1880. and
decreased in the four succeeding decades.
In 1900. for the United states as a whole,
the proportion Of children was only two
thirds as great In cities as in the country
districts. In the north Atlantic division
however. It Was almost as great in the
cities as in the country. In the south
ern divisions II Is hardly more than half
as large in the cities as In the country,
while In the far west the difference Is
intermediate IN amount This" II Is ex-
planned. rs probably due in large measure
to the fact that the immigrant population
who have been swarming into the north
ern cities in recent years, especially into
the cities OF the north Atlantic states, have
been multiplying by numerous births with
much rapidity, while the corresponding
laboring class which has immigrated to
southern cities from the surrounding couu-
try districts has not been thus increas-
ing"
A comparison Is made between the pro-
portion of children born Of native mothers
to 1000 native women OF collaborating age
and the proportion Of children born to
foreign born mothers to 200 foreign born
women OF collaborating age. In 1900 the
former proportion was 462, the latter 10, the
difference indicating the greater fecundity
Of foreign born women.

Negroes Make Better showing,
The bulletin continues:


The compar ison also indicates that the
total decrease in fecundity Of white women
between 1890 and 1900 was the result OF
decrease for native white women partly
onset by an Increase for foreign born white
women.
In the Atlantic divisions, however, there
was a slight increase I'm the proportion
Of children born to native white mothers
and in the south central division there
was but a slight decrease The decrease
for the whole country, therefore, was
the result very largely OF the great de-
crease in the north central and western
divisions.
The decrease in the proportion Of children
born to native white women was confined
chiefly to cities
The proportion of negro children to Negro
women 10 to 40 years OF age was largest
! in 1880 and smallest in 1900. There has
been uniformly a larger proportion OF
negro children than OF white children That
difference more than doubled between 1866
and 1880, but In 1900 it was less thar
half what II was in 1880, and less at any
other census except 1860
Although the negroes have a larger pro
portion OF children than the whites, 4
has been noticed that the whites of tn,
south have a larger proportion than tn,
whites in other sectionssof the country.

(From a Stan correspondent

DIES MONIES Aug. 16.-Cspecial)-At the
request OF an eastern newspaper state
Librarian Johnson Brigham tonight sent
the paper $500 words explaining the loss
in population OF Iowa. Briefly stated, he
believes that the loss Is due to the fact
that there are a less number Of farms in
the state. Mr.. Brigham said today; II
have examined the statistics thus far gath
cred by the census department and find
that the farms are larger and there are
fewer OF them. This l believe TO be due
to the fact that with the prosperity OF
the state and the growth Of wealth farm
ers with money have bought up the farms
Of their neighbors and added them to their
own farms. The improvements In farm
machinery makes It possible for the farms
to be worked with a less number Of people
than formerly and hence the farm popula-
ton OF the state has decreased. At the
same time there has not been an increase
In the city population sufficient to over
come this loss In the rural population.
The loss is small and when the census
returns are all in will be found to be not
more than 10000 for the entire state"
Excludes Women from once.
1t was discovered today for the FIRST time
that women will not he able to hold ONCE
under the new primary election law which
was passed by the last legislature TO apply
to Polk county. Mrs. F. w. Dodson has
held the Office of recorder for two terms.
It was discovered today that every Office
holder must make affidavit to being a
qualified voter" and this, 1t is believed
excludes women from holding any office.
There is talk Of making an effort to induce
| the Legislature which meets next January
TO change this section so that women may
continue to hold the office Of recorder in
| this county.

are misconceptions, or a false sense OF
the real spiritual universe.
This false concept of God and His
universe will change as human thought
changes; in this way, we are being
transformed by the renewing of our
mind. AS the spiritual sense of God,
man and the universe appears, the
false or material concept of creation
will disappear.
AS this change from a material to
the spiritual sense of the universe goes
on, mortal man is brought in harmony
with divine Law, or the divine Mind,
and this heals him and saves him.
Knowing the Truth saves.
Humanity needs to be saved from
all that is unlike God or Good. Sin,
disease, suffering and death are phases
of the human mind; hence are no part
of Gods creation. If God has not ere.
ated them, He has not sent them, and
we have right to free ourselves from
them; and the effort to do so is con-
sistent with the fact that they are not
Gods creatures.
If they are real entities, God created
them; this makes Him responsible for
all sin and suffering known to human
| ity. If God has created them, we have
no right to try to destroy them; if he
has sent them, it is just for us to be
punished by them and He would GER
tainly take them away in His own good
time because He is just God. If God
has created sin, disease and suffering,
they exist in and of the divine Mind
and are eternal; then why should man
be commanded to rid himself of that
which God knows and has created and
sent upon him? Shall man be more
perfect than his Maker? =.
Thanking you again for past cour-
tesies and the space you give this let
ter, l remain.

YOUNG REPUBLICAN OUTING.

F. p. Hutchings, of Ogden, advises
Chairman Sanford, of the Young Mems
Republican club, that he and his sweet
heart, name Withheld, will be on hand
at the celebration at the Salt Palace
today to be welded by Judge Arm
strong. This news has so affected How
ard King, that he has decided to shave
smooth and appear in a dress suit,
which will be feature of the affair,
while Jack May is going to have his
beard trimmed Van Dyke fashion in
honor of the festivities, the wedding
ceremony portion of which begins at
six o'clock, sharp. Mr.. Hutchings will
receive free transportation from Og-
den, a free marriage license, a free
ceremony and bed room suite, all of
which ought to be enough to start
couple off pretty near right. 1t is eX-
pected that several thousand people
will be on hand to see this ceremony
performed. Judge Armstrong has been
coaching himself for several days now
and has the rites down pat" and if
ever a couple was tied hard and fast
it will be Hutchings and wife. In fact,
George expects to do the work so
thoroughly that it is doubtful if he
could pry them apart with one of his
own divorce DEGREES.
In addition to this event, a morning
paper, of alleged Democratic privi-
leges announces that several "coneys"
will be on hand. Truth is authorized
to say that this is untrue. The "coney"
has nothing to do with a Republican
celebration in the words of the man.
agement Described in the book of Le-
viticus as an animal that "cheweth the
cud, but divideth not the hoof," he has
nothing in common with an affair like
this. 1t is thought that the coney is a
Democrat and that the translation of
Leviticus is wrong and should read
"cheweth the rag" etc. Besides the
coney is rabbit and Republi, are
no rabbits.
Those in charge of arranging for

STEALS WIFE AND CHILDREN.
Frank Bishop Walks Way With En-.
tire Family of John Shines.

SEATTLE, Aug. 15:-After six months
spent in Alaska, John Shines, an east
ern Washington rancher, returned to
his home with a fortune taken from
mines in the north to find that his
wife had elOped with Frank Bishop,
supposed friend of mis-, taking with
her tine five children, issue of her mar
riage with Shines. Shines returned
home in April, and since that time he
has spent much money travelling
through the state in an effort to locate
his children. Not until yesterday did
he ask police assistance. The ages of
the children run from 1 year to 8.
Shines, when seen last night, refus-
ed to discuss the elOpement or to give
any particulars except the meagre
ones furnished the police to aid them
in finding the children. Shines does not
care to prosecute Bishop or his wife,
but he does want his children. He had
known Bishop for years and regarded
him as a friend until last April, when
he returned to his ranch to find that
he mad eloped with his entire family.
Shines has information that the wife
and the man with whom she ran away
are in Seattle.
Shines is reticent about discussing
the matter and would not tell the po-
lice in what part of the state he lives.
He mas plenty Of money, which he de-
clares he will exhaust in an effort
| to obtain mis- children. For months he
has done nothing but look for them,
and he says he intends to continue mis-
search until all the money and prop
erty he owns are completely gone.
