FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1901.

CANADA'S population has increased less than 10 per cent in the past ten years. This is such a slow gait that it puts the matter of annexation entirely out of consideration on this side.

THI cotton crop of Texas this year is estimated at 2,000,000 bales, or more than a fourth of the world's total production. And the empire state of the south is just beginning to show what it can do.

THE New York Herald says that if the Democratic party had stuck to Cleveland "it would not now be up to the chin in vain regrets." And Mr. Cleveland has never said that he is not the logical candidate for 1904.

THB 9tates of New York and New Jersey alone have a population nearly equal to that of Canada and Australia combined. Confederation in the British colonies is not as large a subject as some of its advocates imagine. •.*.•••

AUSTRALIA, like Canada, is disappointed with the results of the census. The increase in the population of Australia, including Tasmania, in the last ten years has been only 600,000, against 1.000,000 in the preceding decade. The recent three years' drought was a serious setback to Australian prospects.

ANNEXATION sentiment in Cuba, we are told, is steadily on the increase. This is not surprising. The Cubans realize that the United States connection has brought them some advantages, and many of them see that if this connection were made permanent the benefits would be vastly greater than any which they have gained thus far. The chances are that Cuba will try independence for a time, and that annexation will come afterward. The Americans, in any case, stand ready to carry out all their promises to the Cubans. The Americans, in fact, have done many good things already for the Cubans which were never promised.

PROBABLY Oklahoma will have nearly five hundred thousand inhabitants by the end of the present year. Her admission to statehood will be one of the most interesting questions which will come before the congress in December. Of course, if any arrangement could be arrived at whereby both Oklahoma and Indian Territory could be

united, there would be an additional incentive for admission to statehood thiB winter. Their united population by the time congress meets will be fully 900,000. As a state they would have four representatives in tne house. But whether Oklahoma comes in singly or with the Indian Territory annexed, it is likely to come in early enough to put another star on the ilag on July 4 next.

ACTING SURGEON GENERAL FOR"\YOOD of the army has just received a report of the medical department of the »Philippine forces. "Johnny be-hind-the-gun" is exceptionally healthy, as army health goes, and the number of sicknesses has decreased rapidly under strict sanitary regulations. Enteric and malarial fevers are most to be feared, but the small percentage of '•non-effcctives" to the entire fighting strength is so low that it is plain these disp.asesare.{not making any serious ravages among the troops. A remarkable fact brought out by the report is that heat stroke, generally so much feared in the tropics, is practically un known in the Philippines. Men often drop out on the march, temporarily overcome by the heat, but fatal stroke is very rare indeed.

THERE is a. lethargic reaction and a general feeling of disgust arising from the persistent ollorts of the yellow journals to makej political capital out of the Schley court of inquiry. Most persons who have anything at all to say on the matter regret the widespread advertisement that the papers have given to the case, ana echo the sentiment of Chauncey Depew who has just returned from Europe. He regrets it on account of the serious reflection on o*r navy. In Europe he says it is hurting the reputation of the American navy among circles which formerly had great admiration for it. The victories over Spain, the remarkable run of the Oregon from the Pacific to Cuba, and perhaps more than all the value 6et on the naval writings of Captain Alfred T. Mahan have made all Europe look on our navy with much respect. But now these internal dissensions are dividing opinion.

A Pretty Home Wedding.

On Wednesday evening, Aug. 28, at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Jeffries, one-half mile west of Alamo, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Ina, to Clayton S. Elmore. The house was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and growing plants. Pink and white were the prevailing colors. Satin ribbon in these shades were drawn from the coiling of the dining room to the four corners of two large tables and the lights were shaded to match, consequently the effect was most charming.

Promptly at 8 o'clock the first strains of the beautiful wedding march were sounded on the piano by Prof. Edward Brandkamp with that melody and harmony so characteristic of that skillful musician. To thi.s music Dr. Wallace Tharpj followed by the bride leaning on the arm of the groom, came grently down the «broad winding stairway. They passed to the spacious archway between the double parlors, where beneath a large wedding bell of sweet scented roses and in the presence of seventy-five relatives and friends they were made husband and wife.

Dr. Tharp's ceremony is oneipeculiar to himself and is always so beautiful and impressive that it seems to add strength to this the most sacred vow taken on earth.

The bride was most handsomely attired in a gown of white silk mull with a waist almost entirely of white satin ribbon made decollette. with elbow sleeves and with a train. In her arms

At the conclusion of the ceremony the newly married led the way to the

served by Miss Lulu Hall and Irene Horner, in white and pink. After refreshments the bride and groom received the congratulations of their many friends, and the evening was pleasantly spent in conversation and music. Delicious punch was served in the spacious hall by the little Misses Janie McJunkins and Stella Elmore during the entire evening.

Many handsome presents were receivedibylthe young couple, consisting of costly silver and rare china.

There was but one thing to create gloom over the evening's pleasure, and that was the death six months ago of a lovely sister of the bride, who would have been married at the same time had she lived. Out of respect to her memory, which the family so much cherish, every wish of hers was carried out in full and every detail of the wedding was just as she had directed. Mrs. Elmore is the youngest daughter of Robert Jeffries, and is a young lady of rare physical charms as well as charming personality. She graduated from the public school at Alamo last year and has some musical ability, while Mr. Elmore is a thrifty, industrious young farmer of good habits. Their future looks bright. The guests away from that community were Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Ballard, of Logansport: Mrs. Alice Homer and daughter, Irene, of Lafayette: Rev. T. E. Ballard and family. Dr. ,1. R. Etter's family,

Prof. Ed Brandkamp and wife,and John McClamroch and wife, of Crawfordsville. Mr. and Mrs. Elmore will at home to their friends at the home of the bride's parents until spring.

Government Crop Bulletin.

The crop bulletin of the United States department of agriculture for

the week ending Tuesday says for Indiana: "The rainfall during the week was fairly well distributed except in some districts of the southern and central portions, where the showers were scattered and moisture insufficient. Corn is in various stages of advancement, from silking to ripening grain, and a late fall, with seasonable weather, will materially aid in maturing much of it that is still green the bulk of the crop will be safe from frost by Sept 21 to 25. "There is noticeable improvement in the condition of tobacco in the southern portion: cutting continued in Randolph and began in Elkhart county.

Tomatoes and pickles, where grown for canning purposes, as well as other late vegetables, are promising. Fairly good apple prospects continue, and peaches, pears and plums are plentiful. Sorghum cane is improving. Plowing continues under generally favorable conditions Some rye was bown, and about the usual wheat acreage will be prepared
