BY the middle OF October. but
scarcely before, the people OF the

and minutely verified. and by that

II so disposed he could ascertain ap-
proNimately the number OF people
somewhat in advance OF his announce
ment 10 the public.
This could be done by means OF the
preliminary count OF the schedules
which is made necessary for the pay
ment of the enumerators for their ser
vices. The enumerating districts for
each supervisors area are numbered.
and Il is intended that each of them
should contain 100 names AS soon as
these are received they are turned
over TO counters and a virtually active
statement is thus made possible. Up

not having the figures totaled ard he
says that IL Is his purpose not to do
so. He Is not curious as to the out
come of his work. Nor will be make a
prediction as TO what the result should
be. Il is known that the census Off
cials generally fall in with the idea
that there are about 10000. 900 people
In the United States.
Between the census Of 1890 and that
or 1900 there was an increase of
about 100000. and only a slightly
larger Increase would now be neces-
sary TO bring the figure up TO the 60
100000 mark. This result is arrived at
by purely arithmetical calculation,
and not by any compilation OF the 1g-
ures recently taken.
The first announcements will cover
only enumeration figures, and these

and half. The sociological and indus
trial figures viii come later and will
be announced as rule in special bull

So far about 100000 have been
expended upon II. and IL is probable
that :he total cost viii be about s15.-

of the war looked darkest, that Lin

Others who had the means, butwere

Staples served with homer until the
end OF the war, and lived until about
two years ago. lis grave is marked

STEAMER VIRGINIA
KAY not BE Complete Loss, CAN BE
HOaTED YHsa HIGR WAFER CJaES.

According to the story of Eugene
Campbell. engineer on the Virginia,
the boat is not broken in two, though
the hull is badly twisted, and the
loss incurred will not be more than
sl,oov, except Of course, the loss of
business occasioned by the boats en-
forced inactivity.
whether the Virginia IS a wreck
or not, the indications are that the
music of her whistle will not be
heard 10 the valley for long time
for she is high on the bank and can
only be aoated by food stage, such
as which would damage property
worth infinitely more than the big
and beautiful steamboat.
Despite favorable reports on the
matter, however, many here believe
that the boat is j hopeless ruin.
Only one hog chain is broken ac-
cording to engineer Campbell, whose
story was told to Captain Kimble, the
local wharfmaster yesterday after
noon.
While discussing the virsinia's
accident this morning Capt. Kimble
recalled similaraecident which hap
pened to the old St. Lawrence many
years ago. The st. Lawrence, big
side-wheeler, went into field at
Augusta, KY, and remained there
until foated by another food stage.
An interesting feature of the affair
is that the crew ofthe Virginia blame
the accident to jonah which the
men say was passed on the Queen
City which was 'jonahed' on her
Mardi Gras trip by two crossed-eyed
men. The Queen recently makes
the trip in fourteen days. This year
it required a month and the big
steamer stopped in Cincinnati and
transferred her passengers to the Vir-
GINA, including the two men with
cross-eyes.-Huntington Advertiser.
