DFTROIT GOES
 TO THE FORE Has Population of 465, 5,766, Far Surpassing Milwau
 kee's 373,857.
GROWTH 63 PER CENT
Championship Not to Be Awarded Till Buffalo and Cleveland Have
 Been Counted.

Washington, Aug 23.-The welter- weight championship in population among cities is about to be decided. Of Milwaukee, Detroit, Buffalo and Cleveland, Milwaukee was the first to enter the lists, and made score of 373,857. Now comes Detroit, accred- ited with 465,766 by the federal cen- sus. Will Buffalo and Cleveland please speak up?
 Milwaukee made an increase of 31 per cent, and that looked good till the recent bulletin. But Milwaukee is hard loser Here is the eXplana- ton. Detroit covers more ground than Milwaukee. If Milwaukee would expand and take in all the sur rounding towns it would be as big but what's the use? That's too late now.
 Gan Milwaukee. Come Back!
 Detroit's $ growth represents an in crease of 63 per cent in the decade. In 1890 that city boasted of only 2S5,704 Milwaukee will have to wait it can come back.
 The city by the straits, on the oth- CT hand, explains her large growth by pointing to the automobile busi- ness. According to these claims the auto industry of the United States has been practically centered in De- troit in the last few years, this movement bringing with it dozens of large factories and some offices. This added to the city's population a re- sponsible class of well-paid men with families.
 27,S71 in Danyille.
 The population of Danville, H., is 27,S71. The metropolis of Vermillion county, which is i'll tie public eye at present, owing to the sensational political developments, as the home of Joseph G. Cannon, increased its population 11,517 during the last decade, or 704 per cent. It's increase during the proceeding decade-from 11,491 to 16,354-was 1868, or 42.3 per cent. The population figures for Vermilion County as whole are 77,996, as against 65,6 ,635 in 1900 and 49,9o5 in 1890.
 The population for Madison coun- ty, Illinois, also was announced, it being S9,S47, as against 64,694 in 1900 and 51 ,535 in 1890.
 The information as to Illinois counties was furnished under the requirements of the state law govern ing elections, and the work in the census bureau was hastened in order that these figures might be supplied in advance of the announcements of the population in regular course.
 The population of Sioux City, Ia., announced is 47,S2S, as compared with 33,111 in 1900 and 37,SO6 ir 1890 The increase from 1900 to 1910 is 44.4 per cent, as compared with a decrease for the proceeding decade of 2.4 per cent.

A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes specialist with the hammer So when you hear a fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step- ped on his toes.
 You will find this the case with professional men-Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- |ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Con- pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell.
 At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have a new company in the field. We'll you have had them before. have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they pay their claims? Yes, that is the trouble and they, are offering a s100 reward fer proof of any unpaid just claim.
 Well why don't you get that $10o and quit knocking. I can't find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims. Yes, all the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and go to their office and receive drafts in full
 Well, if this is the case. I see no reason of so much unwarranted knocking. We'll on the 0. T. I am going to confess to you their policies are so liberal. and they give their policyholders such square deal, they are putting us out Of business and we have to do this to hold some of our business. We feel encourag- ed over the above as our president lassures us that knocking on the part of competitors means greater success Your for Business KIMBALL & SAUNDERS Gen Mgrs. 113 Pine St. Old Phone 2q6
