800 MILLIONS OF CHINESE.
Yellow Empire Has About one-fifth Of
Globes Population.

The interesting question of the pop
ulation Of the Chinese empire has
often been discussed, but it is still
impossible to say with any degree OF
certainty what the figures are.
AT the beginning of the Christian
era it is tolerably certain that there
We're at least SO000,OO0 inhabitants,
and it must be remembered that the
empire then was much smaller than
1t is at the present time.
Most of the censuses taken in China
during the last 1000 years. says the
North China Daily News, have not
protested to take in the whole popula.
ton. Young children and old men, for
instance, We're sometimes omitted, the
main object of the census being to as.
certain the number of taxable persons
BY common consent the most reli.
able consus ever taken in China was
that of 1872. This gives the figures
as more than 1000 900. In 1868 the
population was estimated nearly 40S,.
100000: but in 1881 it had fallen to
oS.OoO.OOO, the great TAPPING rebellion,
in which so many millions Of people
lost their lives, being one of the prin.
cipal causes undoubtedly for this great
decline.
Travellers, missionaries and others,
who have visited the region devas.
tated at the time of the TAPPING rebel.
lion. express the opinion that the loss
OF life during the great CONFUSION has
generally been estimated at too low
figure, and it is question also
whether the terrible famine more than
score of years ago in the provinces
of Chilli, Shansi, Shensi and Honan,
with population of 70000,0O0, is not
responsible for the loss of more lives
than it is usually credited with.
1t is still more certain that the Mo-
hammedan uprising in the northwest
destroyed more lives than it is gen.
orally supposed to have done. A very
moderate computation of the loss of
life incurred in these three calamities
makes it to be fully 60,O0o,000 And
In this connection it would be we'll.
perhaps, to remind ourselves that the
habitual use of opium by such a
large number of the people has tended
to act injuriously on the recuperative
power of the nation.

A'1H0USANO PEOPLE.
VISITED NEW
BANK
Formal Opening Was a Grand
Affair-Visitors Loud in
Their Praises.

The formal opening OF the First
state bank occurred Monday morning
in its new home on the corner of De
NIers avenue and Third street. The
opening proved to be great success
even greater than the highest eXpec-
tations of the officials OF the institution.
The reception commenced at s O'Clock
and continued for three hours, dur
ing which time a continuous line Of
people passed in and out of the superb
ly furnished building. II. \. Bronson,
one OF the banks directors and a
prominent attorney of East Grand
Forks met the guests at the door and
performed the part of passing out the
cigars in a creditable manner. 1t was
a case OF the gentlemen a smoke.
and the ladies a souvenir. N. ]. Nell
son, cashier of the new institution, en-
planned and showed the visitors the
smaller vault in which is contained
the private safety deposit boxes. He
explained the details of the deposit
boxes in an interesting manner. The
next place OF interest was the larger
vault in which is contained one of the
celebrated burglar proof safes with a
screw door. This safe has no COM
bination. but opens by the time lock.
On the upper floor light refreshments
We're served. which were greatly
enjoyed by the many guests. No count
was taken of the people who took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to visit the
new bank, but rough guess, given
by Mr.. Bronson, places the number at
over thousand.
The building which is the banks
home is two-story structure with
high basement. 1t is made of pressed
brick and has frontage of 26 feet,
and depth of 65 feet. The trimmings
are of white stone. making it the finest
institution of it's kind in this part of
the country. The rooms inside are
furnished with quarter-sawed white
oak set off by ceiling of oxidized
copper metal. The fixtures are also
made from quarter-sawed white oak
with a golden finish. The same fine
finish is seen throughout the entire
building, and those who have offices
over the bank are indeed lucky in
securing such fine places of business.
Editor Stoughton and his Valley View
printing plant occupy the basement;
the bank occupies the first floor, while
the offices CT the second floor are oc-
cupied by the law firm of Collins g.
Bronson, 'and DR.. j. 3. Gilbert.
AS a result OF the appreciation of
the citizens for the erection of build
ing OF this kind, the bank is already
enjoying a large and we'll merited
business.
Following is list of the officials and
directors:
President, c. ]. Lofgren.
Vice president, o. NJ. Hatcher.
Cashier, y. j. Nelson.
