Editor at Helena Killed.

Helena, Aug. 4.-J. M. Scott, city editor of the World, was found in a dying condition on the sidewalk near theriver levee with two bullets in his head. He died without making a statement.
 Just a month ago, at the same hour in the morning, an attempt was made to assassinate him by the same means. At that time he was attracted by a noise in the rear of his office. Going out to investigate, he was fired on, the bullet passing close by his head. He returned the fire, shooting four times, but without effect. His assailant ran, and in the darkness, Mr. Scott was un- able to identify him, not being able to tell even whether he was black or white.
 That was on July 3, and while some of his friends advised him to leave, he remained at his post. He was a fearless man, and went about his work as usual without apparently being disturbed by the attempt on his life.
 There were witnesses to this mornings tragedy, so far as known at present MT. Scott was unconscious when found, and although he lived several hours, was never in condition to make a statement.

Census Report on the wecklr.

The aggregate weekly circulation
per issue was 36.732,O37 in 1906. In
1850 the North Atlantic States pro-
duced practically two-thirds of the
aggregate weekly circulation per is
sue, New England alone contributing
one-fifth, but in 1906 the entire geo
graphic group, including New Eng
land, reported but little more than
one-third of the total weekly circu-
lation.
From 1850 to 1860 the aggregate
circulation per issue of weekly pub
locations more than doubled, but at
no time since that decade has so
great a proportion Of increase oc-
CURED. 1t is likely that the period
or greatest increase i'm weekly cir
cuIation has passed. There has, how
ever, been more marked increase
in weekly circulation in urban than
in rural States, due probably to the
establishment or continued prosper
ity OF exceptional publications having
literary or pictorial character. The
production Of the weekly shows less
concentration locally than any other
class of publication.
The list of ten States contributing
the largest circulation OF weekly pub
LEGATIONS in 1906 differs somewhat
from that of the largest producers Of
dailies, and their total contribution
to the total weekly circulation is con
siderably less than that OF the ten
largest producers Of the other classes
Moreover, the proportion of total cir
culatiOn OF the weekly contributed by
the ten leading States Is decreasing
II is, therefore. difficult to escape the
conclusion that the weekly is primar-
ily representative of the rural sec
lions and that it will never be sup
planted i'm this capacity.
The weekly paper has performed
am undOubted service. Wherever pio-
neers pushed into the wilderness. or
newly developed mines or manufac-
turing enterprises attracted inhabit-
ants to new communities, the news
paper which followed i'm the wake of
population was inevitably the weekly.
