EASTERN PART OF

COUNTRY

HOLDING

OWN AND GROWING Population j in the Eastern States the 'Census Shows, Is Growing as Rapidly as Western Country. POPULATION OF U. S. ABOUT 96 MILLIONS Center of Population, It Is Thouaht. Will Still Be in the Neighborhood of Columbus, ' Indiana, w Washington, Aug. 22. Columbus, Ind., ii not destined to lose any prestige it may have enjoyed during the a. a m . a . . - aecaae irom oems inarKea on me census maps as the place nearest tho center of, population. The center probably will continue to be in tbe vicinity of that mark -after the full developments of the thirteenth ... census becomes known, unless the estimates of the census bureau officers fall. The returns received to date indicate a fairly even growth, in all directions from the present central point, .the result of which must be to leave the point at Its, present general neighborhood. Only a small percentage of the total population has been announced, but enough is shown by tho general trend to Justify some generalizations. Probably tho most important of these is that the Eastern states are holding their own to such an extent as to indicate that the "pull" of west will not be sufficient to disturb greatly the present equilibrium. East Growing, Too. With some exception the east Is snowing as marked growth as the west. Probably there will not be as pronounced gains In individual cases, but the average promises to be almost if not quite, so good. . The eastern growth id attributed in the main to the development of manufacturing enterprises along the Northern Atlantio Seaboard. Up to date the full population of only two states, Rhode Island and Oklahoma had been announced. The increase In Oklahoma amounting to 100 percent over the population of the same area in 1900, is phenomenal, and is no indication of the growth either In the west or the country at large. That of Rhode Island is more characteristic of growth in other-sections similarly situated. Still, Rhode Island, with her 26.6 percent of gain, Is believed to be considerably above the average. ' v Should Total Nlnety-SU Millions. If the Rhode Island Increase sboald be maintained the country - would show a total of about 96,000.00 people whereas only about 90,000,000 are counted upou. 1 - Oklahoma's vast augmentation Is due to Its attainment of statehood and to the opening up of new and rich territory. The same conditions do not exist elsewhere, for even though Arizona and New Mexico are coming In as new states, neither of them presents the attractions of Oklahoma In the wayvof newly availbale soil. : Many sections of the west, however will do credit to the traditions of that region Western Texas, for instance, will make a marked gain, as will the state of Washington, in both uroan(ana rural districts, in Oregon. Portland is sure to make a' big showIng, as are Los Angeles, Berkeley and Oakland in California. The mining states of the lntermm .-mm LydlaEPinkham'sVegetahh Compound Cured tier Knoxrllle, Iowa.

mountain region will probably suffer somewhat from the failure to develop important new camps in the last decade. Mining has not fallen off as an industry, but as a rule it is boom conditions attending rich discoveries that swell the census in the mountains. Nevada alone meets these conditions and several new and Important towns will be added as a result of mining developments In that state. Colorado and Utah will show a healthy growth as will also the two Dakotas. New irrigation enterprises will help 'out' in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Comparisons will be in tbe interest of Nebraska, not only because there have been creditable additions, but because of tbe poor showing made in 1900, due to the padding of the census of 1890. . Iowa Lost , Heavily. Not so much is expected of Iowa, as this state has lost heavily to other western states and to Canada. , Portions of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois have suffered from a like cause. The high price of farm lands and the tendency of well to do people towards small families are the two principal reasons for this falling away. Tbe comparatively good showing in the eastern state's is due more to for

eign immigration than to natural addition to the native stock. There, as in the west, the disposition In certain circles, 'to hold the family down to tbe minimum, with the result that the census rolls show correspondingly more foreign than American names. The immigrant of the present day does not continue to the interior as did liis predecessors of 20 or 30 years ago. With so much of the desirable agricultural 'land taken up thfe greater attractions appear to be found in the coal mines of Pennsylvania and the factories of New England. To this tendency, more, than to any other circumstance, will be due the fact that the central point will not be greatly changed. t f Of all the southern states, Texas will make the best showing, but Georgia also will manifest a very creditable growth, as will also the two Carolinas. i The south will continue to be the most American section in that it will show the presence of fewer immigrants from abroad than any other portion of the union; BREAK IS ABSURD Cleveland, O., Aug. 22-John Hays Hammond, the mining expert, who has spent much of the summer playing golf with President Taft at the summer capital, arrived from Beverly and classed the rumors of a break between Roosevelt and Taft as absurd. "Mr. Taft bad absolutely no part in Mr. Roosevelt's rejection by New York Republicans," he said. "Tbe outlook in the east is good for republicans. Any misunderstanding there may have been between political leaders was cleared up." A THRILLING HIDE. The Piano Run Frenchman Gave a Locomotive Engineer. "I was (loiteriug arouud the streets last night." said Jim Nelson, one of the old locomotive engineers running into New Orleans. "As 1 had notbiug to do I dropped luto a concert and heard a sleek looking Frenchman play u piano iu a way that made me feel all over In spots. As soon as he sat down on the stool I knew by the way he handled himself that he understood tbe machine , he was runuing. He tapped tbe keys away up one end. Just as If they were gauges and he wanted to see if he bad water enough. Then be looked up as if be wanted to know bow much steam he was carrying, and tbe next moment be pulled open the throttle and Hallwl.on to the main line as if be was half au hour late. Yon could bear her thunder over culverts and bridges uud getting ' faster and faster, uutil1 the fellow rocked about in his seat like a cradle. Somehow 1 thought it was old 3G pulling a passenger train and getting out of the way of a special. Tbe fellow worked the keys on the middle division like lightning, and then be flew along the north end (of tbe line until the drivers went around like a buzz saw and I got excited. About tbe time I was fixing to tell him to cut her off a little he kicked tbe dampers under the machine wide open, pulled tbe throttle away back iu the tender, and bow.be did run! I couldn't stand it any longer, and yelled to him that be was pounding in the left side, and if be wasn't careful he'd drop his ash pan. But he didn't hear. No one beard me. Everything was flylnjr and whizzing. Telegraph poles. on the side of tbe track looked like a row of cornstalks, and trees appeared to be a mudbank, and all tbe time the exhaust of the old machlnesounded like the bum of a bumblebee. I tried to yell out, but my tongue wouldn't move. He went around the curves like a bullet, slipped an eccentric, blew out bis soft plugwent down grades fifty feet to the mile and not a controlling brake set She went by tbe meeting point at a mile and-a half a minute, and calling for more steam. My hair stood up straight, because I knew the game was up. Sure enough, dead ahead of us was the Leadljsrlit of a special. In a daze I beard the crash as they struck, and I saw enrs shivered into atoms, people smashed . and mangled and bleeding and gasping for water. 1 heard another crash as the French professor struck tbe deep keys away down on tbe lower end of tbe southern division, and then I came to my senses. There he was at a dead standstill, with the door of the firebox of tbe machine open, wiping tbe perspiration off his race and bowing to the people before him. If I live to be a thousand years old TO never forget the ride thst Frenchman gave me on a piano." -Life. , ' . Net Be Broken. Has your bun bund a strong will? "My dear, bis will Is Incontestable."

BLOT OUT DYNASTY OF. HAN NATION

And the Ancient Hermit Kingdom Will . Be. Merged with Japan Now. CHANGE MADE THIS WEEK GRAB OF THE EMPIRE FOLLOWS THE LITERAL OBSERVANCE OF PORTSMOUTH, N. H. TREATY OF PEACE. Tokyo, Aug. (22. Within the week "The Hermit Kingdom" and the empire of Korea will become historical terms, 12,000,000 of people will be add ed to the population of Japan and territory as large a? England will become rart of the Japanese emperor's dominions. The treaty of Portsmouth, which settled the war between Japan and Russia, provides that Japan shall have the "guidance, protection and control" of Korea,and the last stage of this agreement now is becoming an actuality after three years of experimenting to discover a practical method - for conserving the national entity of the Korean peninsula. The privy council of Japan was summoned to meet today and this is regarded by well Informed persons as practically the signal to complete negotiations between Lieutenant-General Terauchi, the Japanese resident general In Korea, and the emperor and his cabinet, which have continued for a full week. , "Mum" Is the . Word. While the negotiations are shrouded in absolute official slleiv3 there no longer can be any doubt that the Korean emperor has agreed to sign a convention by which in view of the untenable condition pertaining, be and his government and bis people consent to the absolute control of Korea by the emperor and government of Japan. Last night extra editions of the newspapers say the convention has already been signed, but whether or not this be so, some announcement is expected shortly after the meeting today of the privy council. .This probably will include the official proclamation of the conclusion of the convention of annexation unless all the prognostications of well-informed' persons are incorrect. The Yi dynasty in Korea has lasted for 518 years'; Seven branches of the family remain and the heads of these will be given rank as princes. A number of other Korean officials will be elevated to the Japanese nobility. Throughout negotiations the mass of the Koreans have been kept in ignorance of what has been transpiring. The newspaper censorship is complete, and Japanese newspapers have not been permitted to be sold in Korea. . It is not believed however, that an nexation by Japan will involve distubances in any section of Korea which is thoroughly policed. Certainly the court and cabinet officials in the peninsula are complacent. The majority of the people of Korea realize that conditions in their country will be improved, and it will be Impossible for the malcontents to arouse sufficient feeling to create uprisings. i The general belief is that Viscount Terauchi is prepared to give a practical demonstration of Japan's desire to help Koreans. HOT GEORGIA FIGHT Democrats in Primary Election Will Nominate State Ticket. ELECTION HELD TUESDAY j (American News SrvW Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 22. Democrats of Georgia in a primary election to morrow will nominate a state ticket and members of the legislature and ten representatives in congress. Nominations are equivalent to election. - The primaries will determine whether former Governor Hoke Smith or present Governor Joseph M. Brown shall be the next governor. The contest has been an extremely bitter one with former Congressman Thomas E. Watson, the erstwhile populist leader, looming up as one of the - dominant factors. It is generally conceded that the result of the primaries will mean the political annihilation of Watson or his elevation to greater power than he has yet wielded in tbe Georgia democracy. . ; Watson has refrained from . taking any active or prominent part in the bitter fight between Smith and Brown for the governorship. He has contented himself with waging a fierce warfare against some fit the democratic candidates for congress. All of the ten members of the Georgia delegation in congress are candidates for renomination. Watson is endeavoring to prevent the return of five members of the delegation. They are Congressmen Hardwicke of the Tenth district, Howard of the Eighth, Edwards of the First, Livingston of the Fifth, and Bartlett of the Sixth district. In his contest against the five congressmen Watson has been speak ing for the other candidates and in several instances he has met Hardwicke and other candidates 'in joint debate.

Boys9 Scout Will be

The Boy Scouts idea, originating in Engiiind and rapidly spreading to the English colonies and to America, has reached Richmond and is probably here to stay. At the Chautauqua th's week Roy Horton. of tho local Y. M. C. A., will organize a local company and Richmond youths will be urged to join. England, like the United States, does not depend on a great standing army for national defense. All AngloSaxons are fighting men the best in the world, and to be on a par with the best trained soldiers of foreign countries all the -young men of England and America, so experts say, need is a little practice in the soldier's art. The Boy Scouts develope sturdy lads and if their fatherland is ever plunged into war they will not take the field ignorant of the duties required of a soldier. When Lieutenant General R. S Baden-Powell of England landed at Quebec a few days ago and was met with the cheers of a host of sturdy boys he was paid a tributethe like of which no man had ever received. Vienna Students in Quaint Costumes Arrived in New York Today. RECEIVED WARM WELCOME (American News Service.! New York, Aug. 22. One hundred students from the University of Vienna, in black velvet jackets, black boots, white breeches and gayly col ored caps, attracted attention on the streets of New York today. They reached the city this morning and during their stay here they will be elaborately entertained by .the German singing societies of the metropolis. The chief mission of the student delegation is to start a movement that will ltad to an exchange of professors 'be tween Austrian and American universities such as has been in vogue for some years between this country and Germany. The visiting students are members of the Academic Singing society of Vienna and during their stay on this side they will be heard in a number of concerts, the first of w hich is to be given in Carnegie hall tomorrow night. From New York the students will go to Boston and later will visit Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Washington and Philadelphia. A BIG CELEBRATION (American Newi Service) San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 22.

It was really gentlemen- or, a tribute from rather, from little little men. '' - ' y' Baden-Lowell had worked out tho plan whereby plain, ordinary boys became alert, chivalrous, honorable, dim? inutive men fit to set examples to old and young alike and they appreciated it. It mattered not that Baden-Powell had worked out the plan at the suggestion and with the assistance of an American with whom the idea originated. The Englishman, had carried it through. He had wrapped his famous fingers around ihe heart of the English boy, and with sterling good sensa had caused, it to beat to a manly tune. He deserved the credit and he got it. Every American who has traveled in England within the last two years has seen the Boy Scouts there at work. All have returned enthusiastic over the activities and results of tho movement, and many have come back positively fascinated. It is gratifying to them to , the

J A Pr RUSSIAN AGREEMENT IS

ALARMING (American News Service ' London, August 22 The native Chinese Press cannot conceal, its alarm at the new agreement jurst concluded between Russia and Japan, of which it at once perceived the significance;, it goes so far as toexpress the opinion that, unless every care be taken, both Manchuria and Mongolia will be practically lost to China; it regrets that Cbina.Jias shown herself so unaccommodating to Russia In tbe matter of the Kiachta-Urga and Tsitsihar-Vladi-vostock railways the Sungari River navigation; to Japan in the Yalu River question, etc., and thiriks that China should hasten to settle all these disputes, even on comparatively favorable terms, rather than leave Russia and Japan o impose their own terms by mutual arrangement. Meanwhile Russian troops are massing on the Urga frontier, and the Russian authorities are endeavoring to persuade the Chinese that it is only a I question of "drill." The 8,000 (sic) j Russian troops hitherto quartered at or near Uliassutai (sic) have Suddenly marched no one knows whither, but it is believed towardVKiachta. , American policy is said to have now veered round in favor of Russian administration at Harbin, and United States citizens have been directed to submit to Russian municipal jurisdiction; this is supposed to be' because America hopes through Russia's good offices to have the loaning of money for the proposed Kinchow-Aigun rail-, way. The formidable Mongol rebel T'ao-shih-t'ao, who escaped ta Russian ter- , ritory, is said to have been tracked by Chinese spies whilst drunk and to "COMPLICATION OF DISEASES." How often one hears this expression. It means a condition in which no one disease fully develops, but 'symptoms of various disorders are present. Poisoned, impure blood would explain the cause in nine out of ten such cases. It matters not if the blood be poisoned by inoculation, or by the failure of one or more of the important glands of' the body to, perform their duties, a powerful alterative or blood purifier, is necessary to cleanse it, and in so doing removes the cause. Dr; A. B.

it has been started, that it has al-! ready spread to be a tremendous organization, and that it is growing in success every day. . Five points of organization were chosen, New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Mr. William Randolph Hearst delegated five men to get men of prominence interested and united in the plan, and this was quickly done. Prominent merchants, bankers, manufacturers, ministers, soldiers, workers amons boys and lawyers, gave the best of their time and effort to perfecting a complete and powerful organization. Consequently, the work is proceeding on practically an even basis from coast to coast. In the department of the middl) west, of which Chicago is the headquarters. General Frederick D.

CHINESE PRESS have been surrendered by tho Russians to China. The Chinese Government is very uneasy about Russia, The St. Petersburg Government declines to discufcs questions at issue With the Chinese Minister Sayentu and says they must be settled by the Foreign Board at Pekin in consultation with the Russian Minister there; one of the chief .difficulties is to find the frontier line in the center of the Aigun river, the islands in which are perpetually changing shape. A telegram from Tokio to the "Sben Pao" says that the convention or understanding just arrived at between Russia and Japan is admirably calculated to preserve peace in the Far East, provided that the jealousy of other Powers does not succeed in egging on China to be obstructive. - ' The Minister Sayentu telegraphs from St. Petersburg that the German Government has gone out of its way to show special attention to Prince Tsait'ao.
