POPULATION NOT GROWING FAST
Local Census Figures Likely to Prove
Disappointing.

Disappointing.
'"The census of 1905 in Council Bluffs
will not show as big population as was
given by the government census in 1900.
was the authoritative statement of City
Assessor w d. Hardin yesterday. That
such will be the case will undoubtedly
prove a surprise to the people of this city,
but It is a cold, bare fact, nevertheless,
said Mr.. Hardin
When during the early part of the work
of taking the census Mr.. Harding expressed
a doubt of the population being over 1900
there was an outcry from certain quarters
and the claim was made by certain persons
that everything indicated that Council
Bluffs had at least a population Of 10000.
This, Mr.. Hardin says, a careful canvass
Of the city has shown to be not the case.
The government census OF 1900, which
was conducted by former City Assessor
Frank F. Everest, gave the city a popula-
ton of 25,SO2. Mr. Hardin said yesterday
that the census this year would show a
population OF something over 1000 but few
hundred below the 1900 mark The only
explanation Mr.. Hardin said he was able
to volunteer for the supposed shortage was
that the people are not in the city and
that Council Bluffs is In the same position
as many other cities throughout the state,
where this years census has proved a great
disappointment

Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy,

Mr.. G. W. Fowler of Hightower,
Ala, relates an experience he had
while serving on petit jury in a
murder case at Edwardsville. county
seat of Clebourne county, Alabama.
He says: while there l ate some
fresh meat and some souse meat and
it gave me cholera morbus in very
severe form. / was never more sick
in my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture, but
the druggist sent me a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy instead, saying
that he had what l sent for, but that
this medicine was so much better
he would rather send it to me in the
fix l was in. / took one dose of it
and was better in five minutes.
The second dose cured me entirely.
Two fellow jurors were afflicted in
the same manner and one small bot
tie cured the three of us. For sale
by all druggists.
