There are $3.50 people in Brookings
at the present time, according to a
recount Of the city's population taken
by the commercial club this week.
This number is the count Of the actu-
al residents Of the city and does not
take into account the transient popu-
ldtion whatever. 1t Is an increase of
410 or Is per cent. over the official
gove-1nsl: census take in lelG a.Dt
indicates that Brookings is growing.
An Increase of Is per cent in eighteen
months is something that Brookings
can be proud Of.
= The count was made inside of three
days and in the hurry and hustle Of
the work there may have been a num-
Der Of people overlooked. The list
will be checked over carefully again
and it is thought that the final figures
will show a population close to the
$500 mark.
In taking the count the city was di-
vided into districts, the club mem
bers being given m or two blocks to
count. The work was started Monday
and the count completed last night.
1t is probable that in the future the
census will be taken every year,

An appeal for aid in averting what
may be one of the most disastrous car

tons throughout the United States by

has existed since October, 1907, Just

Sermons Arouse Interest.

The sermon on The New Crusade,
or Retaking Jerusalem, by Rev.
Sharp last Sunday night drew a big
crowd. The subject tomorrow even
ing is Bargain Counter Religion"
Rev. Sharp believes there is no rea-
son for the churches to throw up their
hands in despair during July and Au-
gust as many have been accustomed
to do.
1t is only a bad habit for people to
get into the habit of neglecting their
church attendance during the summer
months. He calls attention to the fact
that nearly all the many pig forward
moves made by this congregation
have been made during the summer
months.
A very large hearing is anticipated
for all these seven special sermons
The six yet to be heard are: Bargain
Counter Religion Things Out OF
Sight" Burial and Resurrection OF
Christianity "Satan's Incubator, OIL
Sin Hatcheries." "A Young Man Ar
rested Serving Satan Unawares."

MAY PROVE
IMPORTANT
CAPTURE

Sergeant Mike German of the East
Chicago police force yesterday made
what may prove to be an important
arrest in the person of a man who gives
his name as John Fisher, but whom
the police believe to be Tony Horn of
Chicago, wanted by the police of that
city for the murder of George Hinter-
berger, Chicago saloon-keeper, who
was killed July 20.
Fred wanquist. the partner of Horn,
is now under arrest in Chicago charged
with completely in the crime, he hav-
ing been picked up In Milwaukee two
days after the murder.
Sergeant German at about six last
evening saw Fisher. as he calls him
SELF coming down the terminal tracks
from the direction of Chicago. He was
without hat and had the general
appearance of a hobo. Sergeant Cor
mans sleuth instinct got busy at once
and spotted Horn for a criminal. He
accordingly went out when the man
neared the station and arrested him.
While the prisoner answers in every
particular, according to the local police,
to the fugitive Horn, he tells what
appears to be a straight story. He is
about 20 years old and says he is a
brass moulder by trade and came to
East Chicago in search of work He
explained the absence of his hat by
saying he had lost it on a freight train
The police here have communicated
with the Chicago detective bureau and
will hold the suspect until such time
a detective from there can come out
and look him over.

OCTOBER 27 IS
TUBERCULOSIS DAY
National Observance Plan
ned in 100000 Pulpits
This Year.

Churches and religious societies. to
the number of at least 100000, will be
urged to give special attention to the
prevention of tuberculosis on Sunday,
Oct. 81, or on some day during the
week preceding or the week follow
ing that date. This season has been
set apart and designated as the third
national tuberculosis day by the ma
tional association for the study and
prevention of tuberculosis, which
makes this announcement today
tuberculosis day was originally set
on April %. but was postponed be-
cause of a conflict with conservation
Sunday of the men and religious for
ward movement, which was held on
that date. The observance of tuber-
culosis day In the fall this year will
be utilized by anti Tuberculosis work
ers not only for the general education
of churchgoers on consumption, but
also for the purpose of interesting
them in the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals.
Every one of the 500 ana more anti
tuberculosis associations allied with
the national association will be urged
to promote tuberculosis day in their
respective communities. While last
year over $4,000 churches observed
| this occasion. 1t is expected this year
that this number will be doubled. Mil
lions of circulars and other forms OF
literature will be distributed. The
support of every religious denomina-
ton will be asked for.
That tuberculosis is a serious prob
lem among church congregations Is
evidenced by statistics which the ma
| tional association gathered last year,
which show that 10 per cent of all
deaths among church members are
| caused by tuberculosis. Based on
| statistics of the census bureau, over
$4,000 of the 100000 communicates
in churches in the United States die
| from tuberculosis every year. rnfs
| figure assumes that the death rates
of 1.60 per 1000 population in the
registration area applies to all church
! goers. when, as a matter OF fact, the
rate would probably be higher.
