Ames, Sept. 2O.-Andy Ander-
son. living at 421 Boone street, is firm
~ Of the opinion that dog has saved
the life Of his young son, Orrie.
The boy has suffered for years with
the asthma and a change of climate
seemed to only intensity the suffering.
From east to west the family travelled
with him and then came back to Ames
to give him the best home care pos
sible. A friend wrote of the cure
used in some places in the east This
cure was the securing Of a good, clean
dog as a bed fellow which II allowed
to sleep on the pillow would in a short
time take the disease away. The An
dersons thought they would try it. A
nice fox terrier was secured and was
given a place to bunk with the young
man. After day or two the dog com
menced to- object but Mr.. Anderson
compelled submission and he was kept
close to the boys head In a short
time the asthma commenced to leave
the boy but It went to the dog which

Mine Workers by aspiring for this
high honor. 7 realize that there is a
great amount OF dissension and many
discouraging features in connection
with our organization at this time,
and know full well that it will re-
quire heroic effort to solidify our
forces and accomplish the great pur-
pose for which the United Mine Work
ers' organization was instituted, and
in this work my numerous friends
feel that l can contribute in a large
measure to the Accomplishment OF
these high aims
The emoluments of the Office have
little charms for me. 1t will be my
purpose to refrain from abuse and
SANDER in this contest, and if in the
judgment of the membership Of the
United Mine Workers / should be hon
ored with the Office of international
president, shall, with the co-opera-
ton Of those who might be chosen
with me, do everything in my power
to promote their interests by inaug-
urating such policies as will inspire
the confidence of the membership.

A glance at the census figures for

Council Bluffs are announced It seems
an even race between these two and
Waterloo for sixth place, with indi-

In 1905 Burlington was sixth, lead

1t is a peculiar fact, however, that
during the past twenty years, or more,
the state census has given Burlington
a larger population than that shown

eral census Of 1900, that city had just
23.201. Again in the state census OF
1906, Burlington leaped to 25,31S, vir-
tually the same as it was ten years
previously. If history repeats itself
Burlington will scarcely show $4,000
this year.
In 1895 Council Bluffs had 30.1S9:
in 1900 it had 25.SO2 and in 1906, only
24,239, loss of over 500. In 1906
Clinton had 1875; in 1900 it had 22,-
Cos and in 1905 virtually the same.
22.756. Ottumwa in 1905, had 16,761.
had 1887 in 1900 and 20,1S1 in 1906.
These figures seem to show that Coun.
Gil Bluffs promises to be the closest
rival OF Waterloo for sixth place.
