Worlds Population is 1,544,5 $40, 900.

In a census of the world recently
published by the Government Sta
tistical Bureau at Stuttgart, Germany,
Doctor Zeller, the director, who is
one of the most eminent of statisti-
clans, estimates that the population
of the world is 1,544,51O,OOO, of
whom 534,940,OOO are Christians,
300,000,000 are Confucians, 214,-
are Mohammedans, 121, 100000 are
Buddhists, 10,S60,000 are Jews, and
the remainder belong to other relig-
ious denominations or are pagans.
These figures have created some
surprise, particularly with reference
to the Buddhists and the Moham-
medans. The authorities usually
credit the Buddhists with the greatest
majority of the Inhabitants of China,
and do not accept Confucianism as a
religion, but consider it merely, a
moral philosophy.
For the United States, DR.. Zeller
accepts the figures of the census of
1908, which show that there are 3D.
2S3,542 church members in the
United States, an increase of 13, 1884,
236 since the census of 1890. The
numbers of ministers in the United
States in 1890 was Ill, 036. Now it
is 165,725, an increase of 1851, or
more than 40 per cent within the
eighteen years. There are now 213,-
049 houses of worship, an increase
of 70,416, or little more than 40
per cent. Therefore the net gain of
the several denominations in the
United States in eighteen years has
been &C per cent in the number of
communicates and 40 per cent in the
number of ministers and houses of
worship.

JOHN w. CONVEY DIES.
Former Kellerton Man Died Easter
Suday in Kansas City.

John w. Covey was born in 184S
in Gloversville, New York. His par
ents, Cyrenius and Margaret Covey,
moved to Sandwich, Ill.,, during his
infancy and he grew to manhood
there. In the year 1859 he became a
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church in Buda, ILL.,, to which place
he had moved. Here he was married
on the 10Th of May, 1870, to Mar
garet Daugherty. To this union
were born two children, Florence A.
and Cyrenius R. Cyrenius R. pre-
coded his father to that better land,
departing this life in 1894. There
survive Mr.. Covey two sisters and a
brother, the daughter and devoted
wife.
After residing in Buda, ILL.,, for a
short time Mr.. and Mrs. Covey came
to Iowa and have resided here for
about thirty years, twenty years of
the time their home being in or near
Kellerton. Theil home for the past
two years has been at Creston, Iowa.
Mr.. Covey was well known in this
community and all who knew him
honored him as man and citizen
and esteemed him highly as neigh
Dor and friend. For the past twenty
years he has been an almost con-
slant sufferer, but there was never
a complaint. His suffering rather
endeared him to all who were near
him. He knew how to lean on Him
who Himself suffered.
He died at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. C. A. Stroll, of Kansas
City, Kansas, where he was visiting,
on Easter Sunday morning, March
q, 1910, at the age of sixty-two
years -Keller:on Globe.

FOR CATARRH.
Medicine Free in Every Case Where
it Fails to Relieve.

Neglect or pessimism, we believe,
is the greatest enemy the public has
to contend with when applied to the
loss or recovery of health. Prac-
tically every case of consumption
might have been cured if hope had
been maintained and proper treat
ment had been resorted to at the
first symptom of the disease. Until
the advanced stage is reached con-
sumption is durable. Catarrh is re-
sponsible, we believe, for many cases
of consumption. 1t is about catarrh
we want to talk to you today, in
cidentally consumption, since the
two are SO closely allied.
We have medicine made from a
prescription of one of the most sue
cessful catarrh specialist known. We
believe it is positively without an
equal. We are so satisfied that we
are right, that we will supply the
medicine free in every instance
where it is used according to direc-
ton for reasonable length Of
time, should it fail to give satisfac-
ton in every particular. We want
every one to try this medicine at our
risk. There are no conditions at
tached to our offer. We put the user
under no obligations to us what
ever. (
The medicine we want you to try
is Rexall Mucu-Tone. 1t is catarrh
remedy that goes direct to the seat
of trouble. 1t is carried by the
blood to every part of the system. It
purifies and enriches the blood, tones
up the mucous cells, and brings
strength that tends to prevent the
germs of consumption from getting
a start. Besides this, Rexall Mucu-
Tone is wonderful appetizer, di-
gestive aid and flesh builder. Its
good effects are often felt from the
first dose. 1t is one of the largest
and most satisfactory selling medi-
cines that we have ever had any
thing to do with.
We know SO much of the great
good that it has done that we per-
sonally back it up with our reputa-
ton and money, which fact should
be ample guarantee to satisfy any
body. Rexall Mucu-l one comes in
two sizes, SO cents and $1.0O. We
urge you to try it. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remeules in Leon
only at our store,-The Rexall
Store. Bell & Robinson. !.

such a long and tiresome railroad
Journey. Then the court they played
in was new to them and they labored
under some difficulty in this respect.
All Of the other teams had played
before at Mt. Vernon and knew the
ground. Also. this was Cairo's first
trial in tournament basketball, and
it is certainly far more trying
proposition than just an ordinary
game.
So. everything considered, our boys
did very well. They played clean
straight game, and this was often the
cause of favorable remarks by specta,
tors. The experience the fellows
gained Is worth much to them and II
was the best thing that could have
ever happened for them to go up and
play real basketball.
All things taken into conside-ra-
tion one man Of the bunch
really played star and was consid'
cred as one of the few in the whole
tournament. This was Reed, 10, who
held down one of the guard positions
for G. Fl. S. He worked hard the
whole time and all of his efforts
were of a stelRr nature. In the three
games he played only three baskets
we're thrown and that certainly
speaks well for the excellent guard
ing he did The Association doesn't
have an all-star team, but If there
should be any such team Reed would
be the guard chosen from Southern
Illinois.
All together the work the local
boys did is highly satisfactory and
should they enter the tournament
next year again the tale will be
somewhat different.
The fellows who went to Mt. Yer.

of that city displayed every courtesy,

Cairo tied with Benton and Gen
tralia for third place and so after all
the c. H. S. boys made decidedly
creditable showing.
Yesterday Coach Allen gave C. H.
S. students short talk, giving a
synopsis of the trip and the games
played What he said is in part as
follows:
The boys left here early Friday
morning and after travelling all morn
ing they arrived at noon at Mt. Yer
non. This trip was very hard ON the
boys and they were tired as a result
They had something harder tc
contend with when the games were
tossed for and it fell to their lot tc
play the first game with Mt. Vernon
This putting a team that really was
physically unfit for that afternoon, al
least right then, to playing so soor
after their arrival seemed indeed
cruel. But it was the law of con
quest, anl the Cairo lads had tc
make the best of it. They went al
II, and of course lost to their heavier
and more fit opponents.
The g. II. s. team showed their
fine mettle that evening. When still
a tired bunch they went in and sim
ply walked away" with the Du Quoir
team
The Cairo boys got a much needed
rest the next morning Saturday
but it would have come into much
better advantage if they could have
claimed it Friday afternoon.
