Tangier, Oct. 1.-THE release of Caid
Harry MacLean, who for some time
has been held captive by the bandit,

measurable distance.
1t has been authoritative1y stated

TRUTH NOT LIBEL
Demurrer in Case Against centervilIe
Daily Citizen is Sustained by Judge
Roberts Plaintiff Referred to in
Scornful Terms.

Special to Times-Republican.
Centerville Oct. Judge Roberts
Saturday sustained the demurrer in
the libel case of O'Neill, against the
Daily Citizen, holding that 1t was not
l,belous for the newspaper to refer to
C,Neill as dirty little whisky man.
The case may go to the supreme court.
The case was brought last May by
O'Neil. after the Citizen had copied
news article from a Seymour paper re-
sarding the purchasing of certificates
of deposits of the Seymour bank that
failed for a Centerville banker, In
which O'Neil was referred to as
dirty little whisky man" The court
said that to call person dirty and lit
tie was not libelous, as it charged him
with no crime and would entitle him
to no general damages. The case was
hotly contested before the court, the
ruling being on a demurrer OF the de-
fendant to the plaintiffs pleading.
This case has been watched closely
by many Iowa newspapers, as 1t is OF
special interest to them. ONe1l also
has case against the Seymour Leader
in the Wayne county courts for pub
fishing an article about him about the
same time, which he alleges was Ii
belous, and the ruling in this case will
doubtless have much bearing on the
Seymour papers case.

CITIES ARE GROWING.
interesting Facts Noted Regarding
Ponulatjon and Expenses.


Population and Expenses
washington, Oct. 7.-An interesting
!. fact brought out by a census bureau
report is that the people of the cities
of the United States support one sa-
loon or club for every 315 people.
The United States has 154 cities
with q. population of over 3o,ooo each'
Fifteen had over 100000 inhabitants
in 1905, twenty-five between 1oo'ooo
and 100000; forty-seven between 5o,ooo
and 100000, and sixty-seven under oo'-
900 but over 100000. New York city
has the largest land area, 2OS,2lS
acres; New Orleans comes second, with
125,60O, and Chicago third, with H.
447. The city having the smallest land
area was Hoboken, N. j., with s25
acres. Duluth, Mimi. with 64,942 in
habitants, takes in more territory than
ST. Louis, with s636,s77; and Salt Lake
City, with a population of 6.554 less
than IiobolSen, covers an area thirty
five times as great.
The percapita net Indebtedness Of
these 1874 cities which was $51.14 in
1902. had risen to s5S.4S in 1905.
Corporate payments, which exclude
all temporary transactions and pay
ments of one department or fund Of
the city to another in cities with
population of over 100000, were SMALL
est in Milwaukee and largest in Bos-
ton. Cities with small relative cost OF
government were New Orleans, Detroit
and Chicago, which in the order named
closely followed the record set by Mil
wauk,ae. The cost of government in
the large cities constantly increases,
and in 1905 was 21.o per cent greater
than in 1902, while the receipts in
1908 were only pol per cent greater

The coming of age of Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt and the payment to her OF
s.t2. .00O, 900 inheritance has brought OUT
a new crop of anecdotes about the
Vanderbilt fortune. One OF the latest
illustrates the democratic spirit OF the

Sitting on the porch Of fashionable

occasion, it is related, the commodore
saw lady approaching with whom
lie was acquainted. His wife and
daughter, who recognized her, could
scarcely contain their anger when ne
arose and politely addressed her.
"Don't you know" asked the daugh-

HARTMAN EXPECTS CONTROL.
He Thinks He Has About rs Per Cent
of the Stock.

Chicago, Oct. 7.-When the annual
meeting of the Illinois Central con-
venes Oct. 16, Edward H. Hartman
expects to have power to vote at least
Is per cent of the stock which will be
represented. This statement was made
by one of the Hartman ieutenants
who has had partial charge Of the hunt
for proxies.
At the last annual meeting there was
voted approximately 10 per cent of the
1000 shares of Illinois Central out
standing. There should be a like
amount this year and should Hartman
have IS per cent. he would be able to
vote about $4,000 shares as against
Mr. Fishs 17S,000 shares.
One effect of the concentration of
railroad systems upon the distribution
of stock is shown by the fact that dur
ing the last three years of the Fish ad-
ministration there were nearly $4,000
holders Of Illinois Central stock who
were scattered thruout nearly every
state of the union. Today the num-
Der of stockholders has decreased, ap-
proximately, to 5000.
