give each person square yard to
stand on and have several townships
unoccupied. You could take the same
bunch and arrange them in subical
form, sort of box them in, and the
cube would measure only LAO yards
each way. A person could walk
around the square in an hour.
Just now there are but 81 persons
to each square mile. At the present
rate OF growth in the year 1000 there
will be SO to the square mile. In fact
we will not be comfortably crowded
until the year 1880 when there will
be 1901 to the square mile.

more unreasonable that many OF us

to support the library, pleading that
the Burns law prevents the council
from making any contract for the ex-
penditure of money that is not actu-
ally in the treasury at the time the
contract is made.
The common pleas court enjoined
the contract and the Circuit Court
upheld the Injunction. Now the,
Carnegie library trustees appeal the
case to the Supreme Court.
Lawyers generally seem to feel that
the Carnegie contract is a violation
of the Burns law and there is nothing
for the Supreme Court to do but affirm
the Lebanon decision.
In that event, Carnegie, should he,
see fit to demand back the money al.
ready paid, would have legal right
to do so in all cases where he has al
ready established libraries in Ohio.

registered at the Randolph. His wife
and child were with him, but they
went to the house of friend to spend
the night. Just after one O'Clock r.

dition, his head, face and body being
dreadfully cut.
Cox was Eighty at first and said he
had been engaged in fight, but later
when he had somewhat recovered
from the effects of the fall said he had
jumped out of the window.
Some days ago Cox's son, who is
nineteen years old left home and join
ed the navy against his fathers con.
sent. This has been worrying the
father a great deal and last night he
says he dreamed that he had found his
son just as he was going aboard a
battleship and he jumped for him,
going out the window and falling to
the ground forty feet below.
Cox landed among a pile of win.
dows which had been taken from the
storage room of the hotel when 1t
was torn down some weeks ago to
make room for the new addition. The
windows had been placed in a corner
OF the building and 1t was upon them
that Cox landed, his fall shattering
every glass in dozen large window
frames.
DR.. Fredlock was called and dress.
ed the injured mans wounds, and
says he will recover unless complica.
tons set in. Cox is said to be a good
man, popular with his business asso.
ciates and friends, and his untimely
accident is source of regret.
