THE MISSOURI CENSUS FIGURES
The States Population Is Now 3,2e3,- 335, Gain of Six Per Cent In
 the Last Ten Yeara.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Census fig. ures for Missouri have been made public showing that the state has a population of 3,293,335 The popula. tion in 1890 was 3,106,665, making the increase for ten years 186,670. or 6 per cent.
 Figures on the population of four counties, Jackson, Buchanan, Jasper and Greene, also were given out. They show that the population of Jackson county Is 2S3,522, as compared with 195.193 in 1900 This Is an increase of SS,329.
 The biggest surprise in Buchanan county, where the population of 93.- 020 is a falling off of 2s,S1S in the last ten years. The explanation of this is that the census returns of 1900. which gave St. Joseph a popu. lation og 102,000 were grossly padded.
 There Is a possibility of a clerical error in the Greene county returns where the population of 63,831 shows a falling off of 20,1S7. Returns from Springfield, which is in the county. gave that town big increase and put 1t ahead of Joplin
 Jasper county, which contains Jop- lin, has a population of S9,673. the very nice increase of 26,960.

with the officials of Polk county, who seemed to be pleasant and cheerful, and worthy of the trust placed in them. Next we found ourselves at the Mena Star office, leading paper of the state, discussing the leading issues of the day with gentlemen worthy of the laurels they have mer- ited in the struggle for the develop ment of the natural resources of Grand Old Arkansas. We extend our thanks to the gentlemen of The Star for the courtesy shown us while with them, and wish them success in the future.
 From The Star office we went to the depot, saw the three o'clock train come in, then hitched our horses and pulled for Big Fork, a distance of 20 miles. When we reached headquar- ters on Butcherknife we found all the connection still having a good time.
 Every sweet must have it's bitter, so the time was drawing nigh when we must bid our friends and relatives at Big Fork good bye and return to our home. So we rested on the 23rd, and on the morning of the 24th we bade the people of Big Fork and pulled for home.
 Yours for the prosperity of Grand Old Arkansas, w. A. Talley.

gristmiil and blacksmith shop.
 Five miles west of Silver Center we came to Nunley, a hamlet containing Missionary Baptist church, school blacksmith shop and a store.
 Please excuse me for deviatine from the plot of my story and introducing an extra link. One of the most striking features of my journey from Beaudry to Mena, distance of LOG miles, was that there was scarcely a farm along the route but what had from five to fifteen acres of sorghum growing upon it. From crop obser- vations along the route am bound to draw this conclusion: Garland, Mont eomery and Polk counties are inde- pendent, so far as corn bread and sorghum molasses are concerned.
 One man remarked that Polk county had gone dry in the last election, but there was one conso- lation. they still had fine supply ol good spring water and sorghum juice.
 Leaving Nunley. we soon reached Mena, a first class city, noted for it's elevation, quick growth. fine water and mountain scenery. The first place of interest we visited was the park, and i am bound to say that it is natural beauty in the fullest sense of the word. Next we went to the courthouse and had a pleasant chat

4 BOMB IN HER YARD.
THE PALATlAL HOME OF MRS POTTER PALMER IN CHI
 CAGo THREATENED.
THE ACT OF A DEMENTED MAN
Fred Wahlenmeyer Confessed ts Placing the Explosive Where He Later Found ltASlashed Himself With Butcher Knife.

Chicago, Oct. Mrs. Potter Palmer's palatial residence at 1850 Lake Shore drive, one of the most beautiful and costly homes in Chi. cago, was in danger of being blown up w4th a bomb. The bomb was placed outside the house by Fred c. Wohlenmeyer at 2114 Belmont avenue. He was arrested.
 The bomb was filled with nitric smokeless powder and was powerful enough to have blown out the entire front of the building It does not appear to have been Wohlenmeyer's plan to have exploded the bomb, how ever, and the danger lay in the pos sible accidental ignition of the ex- plosivs.
 Used Knife on Himself.
 After placing the bomb beside the house Wohlenmeyer slashed his cloth. ing and flesh with big butcher knife and then told a story of a des- perate struggle with a man who had tried to blow up the house. Wohlen- AAOy OA AOpG0 lO OO A0h ACQ lOA AAc supposed bravery.
 Joseph Heating, night watchman at the Palmer residence, heard the front door bell ring shortly before 10 o'clock was a beggar. His hands were bleed ing from scratches, his coat was badly torn and he was in such an excited condition that he could hardly talk. Heating at first believed the visitor was a beggar and closed the door. Looking out later he saw the man still on the steps and went out to drive him off the premises.
 Insisted on Telling Story.
 The stranger insisted on telling his story, however. and to Keating's amazement told how he was passing the mansion on the Banks street side and saw bomb in the yard with the fuse sputtering.
 Heating became alarmed and called Judge Honore, Mrs. Palmer's brother, who telephoned the Hudson avenue police station. A wagon load of off cers was hurried to the home on Lake Shore drive and Wahlenmeyer was found in the front yard.
 Wahlenr eyer told the police that he was a mechanic and lived with his mother and sister
 Later his sister identified the knife found as belonging to a set that she had purchased two years ago. She did not know anything about the bomb, but said that her brother had been working in the basement of the house and acted as If Ill at times. He was 2o years old and single, she said.
 Confessed to Police.
 Armed with this information the detectives confronted Wahlenmeyer and he confessed
 Yes, took the bomb there, too. I might as well admit it." he said.

EMOTION SKETCH
At THE ORPHEUM

All lovers of emotional plays will
do we'll to see Leo Cooper and Miss
Van Brahm in The Operator" at the
Orpheum tonight. AS the name would
indicate it is a story of a railroad
telegraph operator showing the oper-
ator OH duty for 70 hours waiting i'm
patiently for relief to arrive. There
are strong situations all through the
play, which are very cleverly worked
out in the hands of Mr. Cooper and
Miss Van Brahm.
Toby Claude will appear in new
songs and dances, and will, no doubt,
create as big a hit as she did last
week. People never seem to tire of
this wonderful little woman. Besides
being a singer and dancer, she also
achieved fame as a story teller, and
may tell a story or 50 in her original
way.
The other members of the company
will appear in new numbers.
