MAsE COLLECTION OF BICYCLES

Night patrolmen ]. E. Wimsett
started collection of bicycles Sun
day evening. He showed special
fondness for wheels that carried no
headlight and was not happy Gntil
he had secured and stacked up in
the city hall at least four of them.
His pleasure caused considerable
grief to the boys however and one
of the older lads complained to
Chief Van Sandt that the wheel was
necessary for him to use in going
to his work in the morning. Mr..
Van Sandt thereupon explained
that the Chanute police had an
irresistible desire to enforce the city
ordinance requiring that all bicycles,
motor cycles and automobiles carry
head lights after night. The boys
slept on their sorrow and then had
their wheels returned to them in the
morning. The police still have
hankering for autos and pop pop
machinesthat disobey the,ordinance.

PAID FAIR PREMIUMS

The Directors of the -Four County
Fair Association met in he city hall
Monday AFTERNOON to pay the prem
iums which were awarded during the
fair the last week In September. A
number of the prize winners were at
hand tc receive the money due them
but many did not remember the an
nouucement as made in the premium
list. The directors will arrange to
leave checks for them at the First
National Bank. The Association
granted cash premiums amounting to
about S1700 ou which eighty per ce1t
pro rata payments are being made.
The twenty per cent reduction was
found necessary not because the fair
was not successful but because Of the
extraordinary expense incident to
housing and otherwise properly taking
care OF the exhibits. Even with the
reduction the premiums paid this
year were liberal especially in COM
parison with those which other fairs
we're able to offer The S17OO amount
is simply of the cash prizes aud is ex'
elusive of the merchandise premium:
that were given by merchants ant
business men.

more in possession of his bicycle
which was taken from in front OF
the Air Dome one night in June.

wheel in the hands of a boy on Main
street. The stranger who gave his
name as Clarence Tomllnson said
that he had hired the bicycle that
morning in Humboldt from a negro
for the sum of ST. McGinnis re-
ported the situation to officer H. /.
Randall and brought in his father
and neighbors to prove that the
wheel was the same he had lost in
June. A peculiar patch on the rim
made by a riveted iron clasp was so
distinctive that Randall acknow-
ledged ClSnde's probable right to
the wheel Tomlinson made no.

CENSUS BULLETIN
SHOWS INCREASES
Comparison Of Population Per:
centages According to Sta
tistics of Government

The advance Thirteenth Census
bulletin on the population of kan-
sas just recently issued by the direc-
tor of the federal census gives some
data not hitherto published. The
total population of the counties has
previously been given but The de-
cennial increase for a number OF
years, the density, and the number
of inhabitants in rural and urban
territory is now given for the first
time.
The population of Neosho county
for the last five census reports as
follows: 1910, 23,754; 1900, 49,
254; 1890, IS, SOL; 1880, 1871;
1870, 10, 2o6. The percent ct in
crease in tae last decade was 23.4
and for the decade from 1890 to
1900 was only 81 per cent. lhe
land area of the county is $50
square miles; the average population
per square mile in 1910 was Al as
against rural population per square
mile of Is. The Census Bureau for
purposes of discussion has d' tlned
urban population as that residing IN
cities and other Incorporated places
of 500 inhabitants or more, and
rural population as that residing
outside of such incorporated places
The urban population of Neosho
county is therefore confined to-. IAle
city of Chanute with population
of o,272 according to t7e federal
census for 1910. As the cfty%had
but 4,aoS in 1900 the per cent. Of
increase in the decade is I2o. g.
The rural population which neces
sarily includes the remainder of th'
county was "A 49, in 1910 al
against IS ,o46 in 1900 thus showing
decrease Of 81 per cent IN tn
decade. The per cent OF es(e ssptlr
population of the county in place
of $500 or more was SO as agaius
2I.9 per cent in 1900.
Similar data for Allen count
credits it with population of 27,
64o In 1910, 49, 5o7 in 1900, 13,
500 in 1890, 1893 in 1880, an.
only 7,o72 in 1870. The increase il
the last decade of S,T33 was a pei
cent of Al 7 which is distinctly
greater than even the increase in
Neosho county. TIE Increase PEI
cent in the decade between 1893 to
1900 was still larger or 44.4 per
cent. The per cent of increase in
urban territory in Allen coun-
ty in the last decade was however
only about half of that of Neosho,
being 6I per cent. The per cent
of increase in rural territory IN the
same period was 3o.4 per cent.
The per cent of the entire popula-
ton of Allen county living in places
of $500 or more in 1910 was Al 9
as contrasted with but 29.7 per cent
in 1000.

SEWER CONTROVERSY
AGAIN UPpERMOST
Report Of City Engineer Re-
newed the Discussion in
Council Meeting.

City Engineer Pratt reported to
an adjourned session of council
meeting concerning the sewer In
the alley between Lincoln and
Highland and connecting Third and
Fourth streets. After careful in
vestigation when no water was in
the ditch which occupies the place
of the alley, he found bnt one leak
in the sewer and it was at a private
connection at the south end OF the
block. Upon motion of Bldeau the
report was placed on file and on
further motion of Nation the coun-
Gil voted that the property owner
whose connection had been reported
to be leaking be instructed to have
it fixed at once. On this last prop
osition Johnson and Hays voted no.
Councilman Johnson stated that ne
was Absolutely confident that the
report made by city eng'neer Fratt
was in error in saying that there
was but one leak in the sewer 1nder
discussion and therefore that the
anere instruction to have 'oHe leak
repaired was an inadequate method
of fixing the trouble. The question
of recoustructing the sewer, which
as stated by city attorney Evans
would be at the expense of the
property owners IN that sewer dis
trict, was thus brought up. 'Bideau
was opposed to the reconstruction
if it met further depletion OF the
general fuod of the city. The
matter was broGght TO further
focus by motion made by Nation
and seconded by Hays thatthe sew er
be reconstructed. Atter further dis
cussion the vexatiops question was
temporarily disposed of by motion
made BY Bideau and seconded BY
johnson that the previous motion
be laid ou the table until the next
meeting which was later decided
should be Monday October Is
Nation and Hays voted against the
tabling proposition.
The council approved the appoint
ment by Mayor Beach oftkree men
to appraise aad apportion the eE-
pense of the paving that has been
ordered on WestFMst from L,afay yette
to Western and East Second street
between Lincoln and Highland.
The APPRAISERS naned are f. N

the electric light proposition, and
the cemetery fountain complication
was deferred by agreement of the
councilmen present until such time
