Our Totui rupuia,ion.

The total population enumerated by
the twelfth census was 76,303, 1897, but
while the area OF enumeration covered
Alaska and Hawaii it did not include
Porto Rico. the Philippines, Guam or
Samoa. The population Of these new
ly acquired islands has, however, been
ascertained partly by estimates and
partly by special censuses. Including
these estimates, the total population Of
the United States and its outlying pos
sessions in 1900 was as follows:

CUNNINGHAM AS A CxcL1sr.
Auto Thiers Hair Raising Race
Against Running Horses.

People will remember W. B. Cunning
ham. who stole Chester Woodward's au-
tomobile in this city, and was latef
suspected of the Nickum murder. His
real name is N. ]. Farrand, and he
toured the country as a professional
bicycle rider
When Cunningham was sent to the
penitentiary, Sheriff Lucas found the
following newspaper clipping among his
effects. Nothing about it indicates
what newspaper it had been taken
from. 1t follows:
''One of the most interesting events of
the fair was the one mile race between
n. J. Farrand and two running horses,
Mile X and Wheeler F., each horse to
be ridden one half mile while Mr.. Far
rand rode a mile continuous. James
Conway, the noted long distance jockey,
was to ride the horses, he being COM
PEELED to ride the half mile, stop, dis
mount from one horse and mount the
other horse; finish the last half and
beat Mr.. Farrand over the wire.
1.-THE bicyclist and horses appeared on
the track about Sis p m. and after
little preliminary warming up proceed
ed up the stretch and came down like
the wind. A prettier sight could not be
conceived than this, the noble beast
straining every nerve to gain the ad-
vantage. The man with head bent and
limbs working like the piston rods of
an engine, tearing past the grand stand.
The word is given, down around the
corner they go; down the back stretch
the horse is gaining inch by inch; the
killing pace is telling on the cyclist as
they draw near the grand stand: the
sight is one long to be remembered; the
horse with heaving sides, distended nos
trils comes tearing down the home
stretch 20 feet ahead of the bicyclist,
who is riding like a fiend. The horse is
jerked back on his launches, the
jockey dismounts and mounts his re-
serve horse and away he goes after the
stand like a fash of lightning amid
deafening applause.
The bicycle rider had gained over 300
feet in the change Of mounts and was
pedaling like mad. as he knew his only
chance to win was to place as much
distance between himself and the horse
when the change of mounts occurred.
Around the back stretch they flew the
horse gaining slowly, but surely upon
his human competitor, gradually de-
cre9sing the open space between them
When they turn into the home stretch
the struggle for supremacy was only
too evident as the jockey was using his
whip at every jump and gained steadily
TO within 100 feet of the wire when
Farrand, with a grand burst of speed
crossed the tape a winner by so feet
amid deafening applause of the audi
ence- The time was 2 minutes, 1O5k sec
onds, which is remarha bic time for such
race This race viii be repeated ev-
cry night this week and is worth going
miles to see"

ED HowEs SUGGESTION.
How He Would Campaign to Secure
Women's Votes.

Here is a suggestion from the Atch-
ison Globe that may help candidates
to get women to vote: The candidates
saw it is a hard thing to get women
registered. The candidates have hired
hacks and tried to coax them to the
polls by giving them rides, but have
met with Indifferent success. The
facts are that the work of the poll
ticians is coarse. They have not gone
about it right. They have already
spent three hundred dollars i'll hack
hire trying to get the women to the
CITY building to register. Let us see
at what price a woman would have
gained the same end. To one dozen
lemons IS cents; to one can pine
apple. 25 cents; to one dozen oranges,
20 cents: to one gallon claret, SO cents.
Total for punch, $1.10- To Lady
fingers and macarOons, rs cents
Grand total for refreshments, $1-S3-
Palms, spoons and glassware borrow
ed from the neighbors complete every
thing necessary for an elaborate re-
ception which would bring all the
woman to the city building, and the
only thing necessary to have them
register would be to tie the books
open with blue and pink ribbons, and
to have the pretty girls write down the
names. capitulation: Cost OF reg
istration to politicians, $500. Cost OF
same by means of reception, $1.85-

CROTON DAM MENACED
All Danger Is Now Believed to Have
Been Removed.

New York, March 2S.-No break
as yet occurred in the $50.00O.0OO
dam forming the new Croton reser-
vOirs, which was menaced yesterday
by a flood of water from the great
Croton watershed. Workmen are re-
inforcing the structure at all points
of danger and a patrol has been es-
tablished to give immediate warming
should a break threaten. The village
of Croton Landing, with a population
of LOO, is only mile below.
During the last week the water has
and for two or three days it has been
running over the spillway of the dam.
Yesterday. however, the gates were
opened and the water was allowed to
run into the Croton river. It is not
believed today that there is any dam
ger of a collapse of the gates of the
dam.

HAVE DROPPED 1T.
Police Acknowledge Inability to Solve
the Stanford Mystery.

San Francisco, March est was
announced at police headquarters that
every known clue in the Stanford
case had been run to earth and that
the complexion of the matter had not
changed in the least Barring con-
fession or something turning UP" the
police admit that they will never solve
the mystery of how on January IA.
in this city. strychnine poison was
placed in the water used by the late
Mrs. Stanford. That portion of the
mystery connected with her tragic
death at Honolulu the police say has
been solved on the theory that Mrs.
Stanford died of natural causes. and
that the powdered strychnine found
in the bicarbonate of soda at Homo
lulu was placed therein by some drug
gist and intended as a tonic.
The police detectives working on
the case have all turned their atten-
ton to other matters, and while nom
inaIly men are detailed on the case, in
reality the department has entirely
dropped it.

Denver, March 2s.-The News today
says: A counterfeiting scheme, gigan-

suits, which has as its field the whole
of the United States. has Just been IN
earthed by the federal authorities. A
number of government secret service
agents are now in Denver, following
clews which are said to have led them
to believe that the headquarters of the
gang are located in this city. The
operations of the counterfeiters are
said to extend all the way from New
York to San Francisco and so far it is
believed that something like $4,000
has been secured in the larger cities of
the country.

Too much care cannot be used with

of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. AS n rule II
is only necessary TO give the child n
dose of caster oil to correct any dis
order OF the bowels. Do not use any
substitute. but give the old-fashIoned
castor oil. and see that 1t Is fresh. as
rancid oil nauseates and has n tenden-
cy to grippe. II this does not check
the bowels. give Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then n dose OF castor oil. and the dis
ease may be checked In Its incipiency
and all danger avoided. The castor
oil and this remedy should be pro-
cured at once and kept ready for In
stant use as soon as the first indica-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This IL the most successful treatment
known. and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence. even In cases of
