ERROR SHIFTS POPULA-
TON CENTER OF U. S.

Washington. Aug. 31.--The center
of population in the United States
was announced by Director of the Cen
sus Durand today to be in the western
part of the city of Bloomington, Mon
rec county, Ind. This is eight miles
west of the location announced July
Il, when Director Durand placed 1t
Az miles south of Unionville. in the
same county.
The exact longitude of the center
of population is eight miles from the
previous point. Ten years ago the
point of population was six miles
southwest of Columbia. Ind, 80 miles
southeast of its new location.
The change in the center of popu-
lation since July II is due to the dis
covery of an error made in the CEN
sus office. Two clerks worked sepa-
rately in compiling the geographical
point but both made the same error
and the wronS result was pub
lished. The movement of the CEN
ter of population sS miles westward
is due to the increase OF population
OH the Pacific coast. "The great in
crease in the population OF New York.
Pennsylvania and center states north
OF the 39th parallel has balanced the
increase In Texas. Indian Territory
and Southern California" said Mr.
Durand- THE greater advance toward
the west is to large extent due to
fhe increase in population of the Pa
eihc coast states. their distance from
the center giving them much greater
weight than the populous states east
of the center For instance San Fran
cisco. Seattle, Portland and Sacra-
mento with a population OF s0s.0I6
have as great an increase on the cen
ter Of population as Philadelphia. Bos-
ton and Baltimore with a population
of s.77s.O7s."
The new western movement Of the
center Of population since 1890 is 55s
miles.

At Wednesday mornings session of
the Knights of Pythias grand lodge
it was voted to hold the 1912 meeting
in Pueblo. The selection of Pueblo
for the grand lodge meeting next year
was not at all surprising as its rep
resentatives here made a strong bid
AID had back of them the support Of
most OF the lodges Of the order in the
southern part of the state. There was
little opposition TO Pueblo's applica-
ton for the honor of entertaining the
grand lodge as it was generally con-
coded that it was the logical place
for the next convention.

Complaint is made by residents of
East Canon of the dumping there Of
the surplus cats and kittens OF the
community to the annoyance and pre-
judice of the Inhabitants, who are
compelled to feed them to prevent
their starvation. \ few extra "mous-
ers" would not make much difference,
according to the obiectors, but the
liberation in one locality of all the
excess felines in the surrounding
county is benevolence gone to seed,

The thanks of the Knights of Py-
thias Of Canon City, and, indeed, OF
the public generally, is due to the
fifty members of Jaball Ali temple,
Dramatic Order of the Knights of
Khorassan, of Colorado Springs who
came here at their own expense at
the beginning of the week for the
purpose of entertaining the Pythian
grand lodge representatives and Wis
itors and the community at large with
a street parade Wednesday night The
D. o. K. X. members. or "Dookies" as
they are sometimes called, represent
the social side, of Pythianism and hold
about the same relation to that order
that the Ehriners do to Masonry.
They are jolly good fellows and their
membership is very largely recruited
from past officers of the Knights Of
Pythias grand lodge, although no re-
striction is placed on lay members
of the subordinate lodges seeking ad-
mission to it's ranks.
The parade here Wednesday night
was a highly spectacular affair, and,
in the glare of the rockets aSd red
fire of the marehers, the public was
offered a pleasing and romantic pic
ture of their Arabian costumes, and.
IN Imagination, of the origin of their
order. The fez worn by the knights
made a conspicuous headgear, and.
with the red, zouave-like trousers,
baggy waists and long scarlet sashes
combined to produce n scene as for
eign in aspect as it was attractive.
Following the parade there. was
a ceremonial session of the order at
Annex hall and class of nine nov
itiates initiated into its mysteries;
most of whom are members of Coeur
de Leon Lodge, knights of Pythias,
OF this city. While there is a sugges-
tion Of the humorous and grotesque
about the Dramatic Order of the
Knights of Khorassan there is back
of it underlying principles of those
Christian graces and virtues that con-
tribute to that high civilization and
universal brotherhood that humanity
is struggling to attain. Some of the
ritualistic work of the D. O. o. X.
temple is sublime in the extreme and
its exempliRcation in the affairs Of
life cannot fail to exalt those who
practice it. as Well as uplift those
brought within the sphere Of its
teachings.
At the close of the ceremonial and
initiatory session Wednesday night
a splendid banquet was served to the
visitors from Colorado Springs and
the members of coordinate temples
from other parts of the state in at
tendance on the Pythian grand lodge
