GROWTH OF INDIANA.

figures Furnished By the Census Bureau Last .Week. The complete and revised census figure for Indiana were made public last week in the form of a voluminous bulletin. Most of the ground covered has been gone over by piecemeal as the work progressed. The total land surface for the state as given is 35,910 square miles. The average number of persons to the square mile being 70.1. In 1880 it was 61.1. The present population is 446 times as large as the population reported at the first census in 1800, when it was 5,641. The popu^tion of Marion county is 197,227. The previous census reports were: 1890, 141,157; 1880, 102,786; 1870, 71,939; 1860, 39,855; 1850, 24,103; 1840, 16,080; 1830, 7,192. There have been no territorial changes in the counties of Indiana since 1890. # Of the ninety-two counties in the state all but fourteen have increased in population during the decade, the counties showing the largest percentages of increase being Madison, 93.1 per cent; Grant 73.7 per cent; Delaware, 64.7 per cent; Blackford, 64.5 per cent; Lake 58.6 per cent, and Starke 42.1 per ceut. The counties » showing a decrease in population for the decade are Boone, Brown, Carroll, Crawford, Dearborn, Franklin, Hendricks, Jefferson, LaGrange, Ohio, Putnum, Switzerland, Union and Whitley. Indianapolis gained 159.2 pei cent in population between 1880-1870, but only 55.6 per cent in the next decade, and 40.5 per cent between 1880-1890. During the last ten years its popula tion has increased from 105,436 to 169,164, or 60.4 per cent. Evansville has added only 16.3 per cent to its population since 1890, although during the decade immediately preceding it had gained 73.3 per cent. The least numercial increase has come to Terre Haute 6,546. . The greatest rate of increase is in South Bend, 65 per cent; the least, 16 per cent, in Evansville. Does it Pay to Buy Cheap? ' • x\ cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the 'more severe and dangerous results of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go to a warmer and more regular climate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in^either case take the only remedy that has been introduced in all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, “Boschee’s German Syrup.” It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflammation, causes easy expectonation, gryes a good night’s rest, and cures the patient.

We are aroused from nature's sweet slumbers, at the break of day, how beautiful are the mornings, how refreshing is the breeze, how delicate are the perfume of the wild flowers refreshed with the dews of night, and now we see the sunlight putting in its appearance from behind the mountains of the eastern horizon, and, as it slowly riles, apparently kissing the hills and far off mountain peaks that are capped with ice and snow. Beneath the heavy dews in the warm sun rays, among the dense green undergrowth we see many kinds of beautiful wild forest birds flitting about. How sweetly they warble their morning song while feasting on the delicious berries of the valleys and mountain sides. While passing through an arch of wild woodland we step into the deep shade of the pines and hemlock, the stillness occasionally broken by the echo of a distant

Dira s note as we pass between the ■talworth pines, we see the squirrels scrambling from out the jungles and dense undergrowth, darting up the majestic pines to its lofty perch far above our heads—as we wind our way down through the deep ivv shaded canon and valleys—we see the clear cool mountain streams winding their way through the moss covered stones, leaping over precipices the spray falling upon the glassy green leaves of the undergrowth. It leads us down between banks of moss and ferns into a deep ravine here; oft times the sound of our approaching footsteps disturbed a herd of fawns. We turn our heads and look far above the timber line some three to five thousand feet high? here we see the wild beasts of the forest such as black, brown and grizly bear grazing on the mountain ides. Mountains loom up in the distance clothed in rich colors of vegetation, while adjoining appears to stand ai a monument of granite and white stone glisten against their cliff fronts disrobed of any vegetation. We see the last ray of sun light apparently playing hide and seek with the far off mountain peaks. Night spreading before us soon the soft rays of moonlight fall about us and the stars peep out again and earth in her twilight is robed in the newly fallen snow which ij a picturesque sight; here are the

splendors of natures work; np pen can write, no painter can reproduce the beauties of nature as we really see it. [ The scenery of the north is grand. No tongue can describe. Saw Death Near. “It often made my heart ache,” writes L. C. Overstreet, of Elgin, Tenn., “to hear my wife cough until it seemed her weak and sore lungs would collapse. Good doctors said she was so far gone with consumption that no medicine or earthly help could save her, but a friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery and persistent use of this excellent medicine saved her life.” It’s absolutely guaranteed for coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma and all throat and lung diseases. 50e and $1.00 at Harvard Stearnes drug company.

The coroner took charge of the remains of Fluker and will hold an inquest. An appended report to Gen. MacArthur’s review of the civil affairs of the Philippines for the past fiscal year gives some rather startling facts regarding the intreduction and prevalence of leprosy in the islands. According to the estimates of the Franciscan fathers, says the report, there are no less than 30,000 lepers in the archigelago, the major portion of these being in the Vizayas. The commission is now engaged in the work of selecting a suitable island, or islands for the purpose of isolating all le'pfers in the archipelago..

Washington Letter. Will England accept the American-1 ized Hay-Pauncefote treaty which will start for London this week, or will it reject it, and invite something even less palatable? That is one of , the most discussed questions of the hour in Washington. Another is, will congress wait until England signifies its intentions, before passing the Nicaragua Cana| bill? No one | can answer either with any certainty at this time, but the prevailing opinion appears to be that the refusal of England to accept the amended treaty would arouse a very bitter anti-Eng-lish sentiment, which might result in legislation that would be disastrous to English interests, instead of merely defending American interests, as the amended treaty does. The canal question is really puzzling and becoming more so. Some of the senators who talk the loudest for the canal bill, are under suspicion of not be in sincere, and no one need be greatly surv prised if there is no canal legislation at this session, the canal bill was considered one of the certainties, and it is fully known that public sentiment of the country, regardless of politics, overwhelmingly indorses the Nicaragua Canal bill.

The extent of the fight for re-elec-tion that little Billy Chandler has on his hands may be judged from hishaving begged letters of recommendation from twenty-three of the republican senators, to be printed and circulated in New Hampshire, as an answer to the charge that he had lost the cori\ fidence and support of many of his republican colleagues in the senate. This would have been a shrewd dodge, if the indorsement of a sufficient number of republican senators had beep secured, but when the number is less than one-half of the republican senators, it seems more like a confirmation than a refutation of the charge, as it is certain that Chandler got all the letters he could. Senator Bacon, just before leaving for his Georgia home, where he will spend the holidays, laughingly said to a fellow senator with whom he was exchanging good-byes: “I wish you a merry Christmas* and a happy new year, but I cannot wish you a happy new century, because I believe the new century began on January 1,1900. I can demonstrate to you, mathematically, that I am right, but I won’t take the time to do it, because my view seems to be at variance with that entertained by the rest of the world.” Minister Conger is to be recalled on account of his alleged botch work in the negotiations at Peking, which have, at last resulted in the signing of an agreement by the foreign ministers on the demands that shall be made on China, if close friends of the administration know what they are talking about. Others say that if Conger is recalled it will be merely to make him a scapegoat behind which the administration may conceal its wabbling, which ended in a peremptory order to longer to sign an agreement -its full text was made public Saturday, containing demands that this government had over and over again said it would not agree to. Semi-offi-cial statements eminating from the state department, charge Conger with the responsibility of ha'ving placed this government in a false position by his blundering construction of instructions. The members of the diplomatic corps in Washington are all laughing at the whole business. According to a newspaper guess which may or may not be correct, but which carries not only the sign of cleverness, but of painstaking observation, the United States Supreme Court which last week heard arguments on one of the cases involving the constitutionality of the administration’s policy towards the islands acquired from Spain, now stands four in favor of the contention that the constitution follows the flag and four against it, with Chief Justice Fuller in doubt. If that be correct, the decision will really rest with the Chief Justice and he is a good old-fashioned democrat. While this guess may not turn out t*o be right, it was not wildly made. Members of the supreme court

are human, like the rest of us, and they indicate their belief by their talk, some of them by lecturing to law students, some by private conversation, and some by the tenor of tlu^uestions they asked of counsel while the arguments were being made. The justices put down as believing that the constitution follows the flag, are Brewer, Harlan, White and Brown, and those holding to the contrary^ McKenna, Gray, Peckham and Shiras. It is uncertain when the decision will be handed down, as morearguments on a similar case are to be submitted January “th, but it is believed in Washington that if it be adverse to the administration, Mr. McKinley will endeavor to have it held back until after the adjournment of congress. Mr. J. A. Wilson, a Boston lawyer, who is in Washington on business with the state department, said of the ship subsidy bill, against which a number of republican senators are threatening to revolt: “It is wrong in principle and if enacted into law will establish a vicious precedent. If

congress really wants to bt ild up our merchant marine, it will a mend the law, so that those engage d in the business may purchase the r ships or have them built in any coui try in the world and give them an American registry. This proposition to give a few favored individuals soi e millions of dollars for floating the American flag is a little short of stealing, and I am of opinion that Mr. Hanna’s pet measure will not become law at this session of congress.” In order to quiet some of the republican opposition to the bill, Senator Hanna has indicated his willingness to agree to its being amended, but it is not yet certain that any sort of an amendment will get the bill through.

Question Answered. Yes, August Flower sti 1 has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers’ and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendictis, j Nervous Prostration or He;.rt failure, etc. * They used August Slower to ! clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested f ood, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling ddll and bad with headaches and other aches.
