Army of 70,000 Will Take 1910 Census
Washington , July 3. It will require
jn army of 70,000 people to taUe the
thirteenth census In 1910. The tasl
of making the enumeration of the 90 ,
000,000 people In the United States
Alaska , Hawaii and Porto Rico am
iln Guam , Samoa and the Panama
uanal zone will 'be one of enormous
proportions. It will bo the most gl
gantlc work of enumeration that has
ever been attempted In this or nn >
ether country and It Is Intended to
icach the acme of correctness nm
-thoroughness. Not merely a conn
and compilation concerning the popu
titlon alone , It will Include a census
of agriculture , manufactures , mines
snd quarries.
Director S. N. D. North of the cen
sus bureau , Is already getting read >
lor the thirteenth census. Ho has beei
planning on It for a year or more.
A change that Is believed to be In
the Interest of accuracy and com
fleteness will require the enumera
Uon of population to be made as o
April 15 Instead of Juno 1 , as ha =
> ieen the case heretofore. The reasot
tor this Is Interesting. The popula
tlon of the United States Is exhibit
tng more and more a tendency to goo
\o the seashore and the mountains am
the lakes to nvold the hot weather
snd It is going much earlier than
lormerly. The result Is that enumcr
ators who are set to work June 1 arc
< ertnln to find ninny houses desertet
and their occupnnts gone away for the
summer. It Is thought April 1 will be
a much more satisfactory date for thl
teason. At that time of yenr , the
exodus to the resorts will not bo
fcegun.
Provisions will be made for 330 dts
trlct supervisors and there will be
several thousand persons In the cler !
cal force In the census bureau estab
Jlshment In Washington. The numbe
of enumerators will bo 65,000. As al
jeady mentioned , the total force
seeded to do the work will approxl
mate 70,000. The clerical force will be
under civil service , but It Is thought tc
te Impracticable to attempt to make
< the enormous force of enumerators
subject to the civil service require
ments.
It will cost about ? 14,000,000 to take
the thirteenth census. A census o
the Philippines will not be Included for
the reason that one wns taken In 1003
and It IB felt doubtful whether the
Philippine government would care to
boar the cost of another enumeration
BO soon.
Important chants In the taking nnd
compilation of the census nnd In the
method of publication of the returns
will be made. For one thing , the re
turns will bo greatly condensed. The
twelfth census required 10 volumes. It
Is the expectation of Director North
that the thirteenth census will bo
published In six volumes , or seven nt
the outside. The mortality statistics
of the last census will ho dropped.
They were found unsatisfactory as
collected at the lost decennial census.
The reduced number of volumes will
considerably lower the cost of the
thirteenth census.
BEAR STEAK FOR GREEKS.
Only Gun In the Section Camp Brought
Down Mother and One Cub.
Floodwood , Minn. , July 3. The sec
tlon crow at Casco on the Great
Northern's now line from Kelley Lake
to Fermoy Is composed of Greeks , who
are having the time of their lives with
the many bears thnt ronm the swamps
if the upper St. Louis. The whole
.rmnment of the gang consists of a
8.55 rifle In the possession of Tom
ComomyH , the foreman. But thnt
me rifle Is now a most Important ad
uncl of the gang , always lying on
ho hand car ready for notion , since the
appcnlngs of a few days ago.
Tom and his men were hard at
vork on a grade a few miles from
asco , when one of the men , on look
ng across the right-of-way , burst out
n Greek ejaculations. A largo , bacl !
icar , accompanied by her four cubs ,
lad emerged from the timber , bu
quickly retreated on seeing the men
Tom seized his rifle and plunged
nto the swamp , followed In Indian
file by some of his bravest Greeks
carrying their picks or shovels. They
found the bear at the foot of a pine ,
where she had taken her stand , afte
chasing her young ones Into the top
of the tree.
Two of Tom's men fled at the sight
of the growling bear , who stood on her
ilnd feet , facing the enemy.
But Tom was not so easily put to
rout. Taking a steady aim he fired ,
Iropplng the bear In her tracks.
Then ho hid In the brush to await
the appearance of the cubs. They
soon came down from their lofty
perch , and , Tom says , it made him al
most remorseful to see the little fel-
: ows whimper pathetically around their
whimper pathetically around their
mother , licking her face and tugging
at her ears to arouse her. Another
shot killed one of the cubs , the others
fleeing Into the solitude of the
swamps.
The big bear was taken on the hand
car to Illbbing In the evening and
sold to a merchant for seven cents a
pound. She tipped the scarles at 203
pounds. The fur Is , of course , use
less at this time of the year.
A THOUSAND MILES OF BOYS.
To Carry Message From New York
to Chicago.
New York , July 3. This month a
message is to be carried afoot from
the mayor of New York to the mayor
of Chicago. The carriers will be seven
hundred boys between fifteen and
seventeen years old. For a week erse
so , during the night as well as the day ,
some lad will be speeding across the
country at the rate of a mile run. The
first will start from the city hall in
New York and run northward. At the
end of a mile a second will be ciwaltln ?
htm , and on his arrival will seize the
message and carry It to the next mile-
post. There Is probably but one or
ganization that could select these car
riers solely from Its own membership
along the route , and , by representa
tives already on the line of the race ,
arrange for all details and guard the
race as it occurs. That organization
Is the Young Men's Christian associa
tion. Each city association along the
line will have charge of a certain
section. The New York association ,
for example , will have charge of the
route which extends through the city
until It touches the territory assigned
to Yonkers. The stretch over which
Buffalo has jurisdiction Is the longest
in charge of any one association. In
asmuch as the Young Men's Christian
associations have about a hundred
thousand boys under the care of physl-
cal directors , the material for such a
relay run Is ample. The boys selected
for this event will be under special
training. No boy will have any other
competitor than time , or receive any
prize other than the honor of wearing
his association's colors. A generation
ago no religious organization could
have attempted anything of this sort.
What the Young Men's Christian as
sociation has accomplished in uniting
with the Hebrew the Greek Ideal In
religion , Interpreting Christianity as t-
force for the welfare of the whole man ,
body as well as mind and spirit , Is
dramatically embodied In this pictur
esque undertaking.
WASHINGTON MINES REOPEN.
More Than 4,000 Men Effected In Re
sumption of Operators.
Spokane , Wash. , July 3. Reports
from various camps In the Cocur d'-
Aleno mining district , east of Spokane
are that all the big producers have
resumed operations , with more than
4,000 men directly employed. The op
erators are continually adding to their
forces and more first-class miners arc
required. When the smaller prospects
begin work several hundred addltonal
men will bo needed to carry on devel
opment In various parts of the district.
The tax-rate on carelessness Is as

UNANIMOUS FOR BRYAN ; DIVIDE
ON SECOND PLACE.
"
A PLATFORM BY LOCAL MEN
Gray , Johnson , Mitchell and Towne
Are Vice Presidential Favorites
Among Local Democrats How They
Would Like to Vote.
If Norfolk democrats were called on
to nominate a presidential ticket today
they would nominate Bryan with a
shout , but they would take more than
one ballot on second place.
In fact Norfolk democrats arc Just
, bout ns much at sen on the vlco
'residency ' as apparently are the dele-
; ates to next week's national convex
Ion.
Ion.A
A canvass of a score or so of demo-
Tats discloses a half a dozen or more
econd place favorites. It is Interest
ng to note that of the various mou
nentioned no one thought of Kern of
ndlana , whom Senator Halo of Atkln *
ion and several other north Nebraska
: lemocrats In close touch with the
situation , think Is a likely man to
and the nomination.
Virtually Unanimous For Bryan.
Norfolk democrats are unanimous
'or Bryan. Democrats who ordinarily
would bo expected to line up for Judga
Gray , If they were sitting In n na
.lonal democratic convention , would
nominate the "peerless leader" under
xlstlng conditions , they say.
Notions about the paramount planl
and the leading Issue vary. It Is liv
terestlng to note that Dr. A. Bear , who
s vice-president of the largest haul
n north Nebraska , Is for a govern
ment guarantee back of national bank
ieposlts , that B. P. Weatherby , who
Is an attorney and who holds a court
position , believes that courts assume
unconstitutional powers and that anti-
Injunction Is an Important Issue , and
finally that C. B. Durland , who as
mayor of Norfolk , put on the lid and
made law enforcement an Issue , Is
fearful less a prohibition plank bo In
serted In the national platform.
What They'd Do In Denver.
An off hand canvass of a score erse
so of Norfolk democrats nominated
Bryan and showed Johnson , Mitchell ,
Towne and Gray favorites for second
place. If Norfolk democrats were dele
gates they would vote like this :
Dr. A. Bear : Bryan and Gray , Bryan
and Mitchell If strength was needed
In Illinois , Indiana and Ohio , Gray a
splendid man for either president or
vice president.
C. S. Bridge : Bryan and Towne.
B. P. Weatherby : Bryan and Mit
chell.
J. B. Haase : Bryan and Towne.
C. B. Durland : Bryan and McClel-
lan.
lan.E.
E. B. Kauffman : Bryan and John
son.
son.J.
J. C. Stitt : Bryan and Gray.
Herman Gerccke : Bryan and Gray.
J. H. Conloy : Bryan and Mitchell.
S. G. Dean : Bryan and Johnson , If
second place goes west ; also Bryan
and La Follette.
H. C. Matrau : Bryan and Gray.
H. W. Winter : Bryan and Johnson.
W. C. Roland : Bryan and Towne.
Henry Haase : Bryan and some man
from New York.
Carl Wilde : Bryan and Chandler.
J. C. Bngelman : Gray and Bryan , a
; "winning combination. "
The Platform.
Dr. A. Bear , vice president of the
Norfolk National bank and at one
time democratic candidate for lieuten
ant governor of Nebraska , Is one
banker who bellves In a national guar
antee of bank deposits. Dr. Bear was
In fact one of the first men In Norfolk
to advocate such a scheme.
"The bank guarantee , " snld Dr.
Bear today , "Is unpopular with the
biggest banks because they think It
would aid the weaker and more care
less banks. But I think with Mr.
Bryan that there are more bank de
positors In the country than there are
bankers. I believe In a guarantee for
the benefit of the depositors. " Dr. Bear
has attended several national conven
tions as a delegate.
"Immediate revision of the tariff
and railroad regulations I think should
be Issues , " said B. P. Weatherby , "but
I believe that the anti-Injunction
planlc should bo strongly written. The
courts have been stepping over their
constitutional limits. There Is al
ways a tendency to extend authority.
Wo have seen Roosevelt do It but we
were not seriously alarmed for wo felt
that ho did It for the common good. "
"I would like to see the tariff a
prominent Issue , " declared ex-Mayor
C. B. Durland. "I hope too that Gen
eral Weaver does not get his prohibi
tion planlc In for I believe that would
be disastrous. As for vice president
I would like to see McClellan nomin
ated If he would not arouse too much
antagonism from Hearst. "
OUR COUNTRY.
Patriotic Inspiration of the Day by
Rev. Dr. Tlndall.
The Fourth of July should lead
Americans to think of both the birth
and Importance of their country. It Is a
day for reflection , and many believe
the most significant anniversary day
of our nation. When Israel crossed
the river Jordan dry shod 3,000 years
ago , they took twelve stones from the
river bed nnd heaped them on the
banks thereof so they should over
remind the visiting generations of
God's great dealings toward Israel at
that place. The Fourth of July Is a
monumental remembrance of God's
grent deliverance to the colonies of
America in giving them independence
Ours Is clearly a providential coun
try God planned and kept it for the
best people of earth for n people who
would carry out his purposes In the
world. Even the birds of the air wore
made to assist Columbus In discover
ing America. This fair land was not
Intended to bo settled by the material
istic nnd atheistic Chlncst , the
crude Norse , Indolent Redman , skep
tical French , cruel Spanish , but by
the anglo-saxon , the best blood of
earth. The stars of heaven fought for
this grent fnct , destroying the Armada
and preventing Spain from dominat
ing Europe and America , and leaving
ur country to bo settled and devel-
ped by the best of peoples. No land
.vns . ever so fortunate In the class of
copies settling It as ours. Greece was
ettlcd by the Rolnsgl , Rome by
narauders and even grand old Eng
nnd by savages ; but America wns
ettled by Pilgrims , Puritans nnd Hit
inienots , the very cream of Europe's
est.
est.Ours
Ours Is an all round great country.
Greece stood for learning , Rome for
aw , Pnlestlno for religion , but ours
xcels In nil of these. But thnt for
which wo are especially noted , and
hat for which this day stands , is
reodom. The great historian Rid-
> ath , whom It was my honor and
[ ileasure to know , said freedom was
> orn in the hills of Greece ; but It
certainly hns renched Its greatest per-
'ectlons on the soil of America. The
'rcedom we enjoy is not that of a
nonarchy , such as Is found In Rus'
sin or Turkey ; nor that of an arlsto
cracy as Is found In England where a
few are free ; nor even such as flrsl
seen under the Declaration of Inde
icndonce where all but the black man
were free ; but that freedom we now
lellght In In these United States since
the emancipation proclamation whlcl
makes all men free regradless of color
race or previous condition. This Is
the most consummate llower of free
lorn which ever grew In any soil o
earth. Hero woman Is free. America
; llscovered woman and set her free.
Ours Is a peaceful country. It has
had fightings within and fightings
without , wars at home and abroad
But Its motto is peace with all na
tlons. Its object with Its great nav >
now circumnavigating the globe Is one
of peace and good will to all men ant
nations. Our nation devotes Its time
chiefly to the arts of peace rathe
than the tricks of war.
Our country has a great future be
fore It if only true to Him who has
so grandly led us on to this day. Our
territorial and numerical growth has
been truly marvelous. Early In our
history It was thought we would never
need to spread out farther west than
the Alleghany mountains ; but now wo
reach fiom ocean to ocean and beyond.
We are now twice as long as the ter
ritory the Roman eagles flew over In
the time of the Caesars. Our people
have grown in number from 3,000,000
when they gained their Independence
to about 85,000,000 In this year of
1908. We have discovered larger ,
wrought better and grow faster than
we dreamed of doing. Columbus
started out to discover a short route
to India and found a continent. Saul ,
first king of Israel , started out to find
his father's flocks and actually found
a kingdom. It is the unexpected
which comes to pass. On a rock along
the Spanish coast was the Inscription ,
"No plus netra , " meaning no more
beyond. But Columbus did not shnre
that view , and sailing by the rock
chipped off the word "ne , " leaving the
Inscription to read , "plus ultra , " more
beyond more land beyond , and sail
ing westward found It. As a nation
wo have but begun to grow and be
great.
We are just at the door of wonder
ful developments. There Is every
reason to believe we have just begun
a civilization which will eclipse any
thing of the past and surpass our
most sanguine expectations or fond
est dreams. Our future Is over-arched
with the brightest bow of promise.

ONLY FIFTEEN DEATHS HERE IN
SIX MONTHS.
CITY IS GREAT HEALTH RESORT
At Present Death Rate Norfolk Popu
lation Would Survive Until . .0/4 ,
Without a Single Addition Figures
Are Unusual.
The wind from the northwest
prairies which blows over Norfolk is
a healthy wind. In fact Norfolk has
a right to figure as a health resort.
The Norfolk death rate Is astonish
ingly low. Few cities In the United
States can boast a rate so low.
During the first half of the present
year , the six months ending last Tues
day , only fifteen people died within
the city limits of Norfolk.
The deaths were distributed during
the six months ns follows : January ,
two ; February , four ; March , two :
April , three ; May , two ; Juno two. The
six months represent a marked con
trast to the corresponding six months
of 1907 In the absence of vlolon or ac
cidental deaths. The only fatal acci
dent of the six months was the death
of E. L. Barrltt In April caused by a
fall while working on the Junction
eating house.
It Is no wonder that Norfolk's popu
lation Increases. If there were no
babies born In Norfolk nnd no one
moved In from away It would still tnke
denth ICC years to deplete the popu
lation nt the present death rate.
If the death rate does not Increase
many people living In Norfolk now will
be alive In 2074.
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR
RACE OPENING HERE.
NORFOLK DATES , AUGUST 12-14
Base Ball Tournament , Big Feature
Last Year , Will Be Repeated This
Summer Fourth of July Excursion
ists Will Advertise Meet.
Following close upon the Norfolk
chautauqun comes the opening of the
north Nebraska racing season In Nor
folk , August 12 , 13 and 14. These
are the three red letter days that
Norfolk race promoters want to Im
press on the minds of the north state
people.
Details of this year's racing meet
are still In the making. A big meet
is promised , however , a meeting cal
culated to equal the successful races
of last year. Towards the end of the
month the horses which are to cover
the north state circuit will begin to
arrive In Norfolk for the opening.
A base ball tournament will be one
feature of the races. That has been
determined. The ball games played
here last year were the best seen In
north Nebraska during the summer.
Fast teams on a par with Plalnvlew
and the Walthlll Indians will bo
brought here.
Other features of race week are
still to be outlined. A frontier pro
gram with a touch of the western
prairies In the cowboy days has boon
suggested. A carnival may be held
In connection with the races. These
details are to be passed on by the race
committee of the driving club.
The Norfolk band has been engaged
for the three days.
At the driving park repairs are be
ing made In anticipation of the racing
season.
It Is very probable that there will
be no race matinees held In Norfolk
this year. The matinee Inst year was
not a success despite the hugli crowds
which afterwards attended the races
proper.
As a part of their publicity cam
paign the driving club Is asking Nor
folk people to have an announcement
of the Norfolk races printed on the
hack of envelopes. The work is done
at The News office and the expense
met by the driving club. The club
has also had "Race week" tags printed
to be worn by Norfolk visitors to
neighboring Fourth of July celebra
tions.

ty in the following porportlon : Madi
son eleven ; Tilden ten ; Battle Creek
eight ; Norfolk seven ; Meadow Grove
five ; Newman Grove four. The stu

Ames , In. , July 2. A moving plctnro
show may ho responsible for Prof. J.
Wllkes Jones of the Iowa Agrlctilturnl
college , locating a new plant , similar
to alfalfa , which will become ono of.
the American foods for cattle. The
secretary of ngrlcnlturo has been lookIng -
Ing for such a plant for several years ,
and Prof. Jones may have secured a
' valuable tip. "
Prof. Jones wns Invited to the homo
of C. W. Mnrtln at Omnhn recently to
see some farm scones abroad , which
Mr. Martin Is taking for the national
eorn exposition. In one of ( lie scones
Pro ! . Jones watched a Russian farmer
feeding his cattle a grass or plant ,
which resembled alfalfa. The machine
was run slow and the picture showed
the leaves dropping off as the farmer
feathered up the bunches. "That's al
falfa , or something like it , " paid the
professor who has studied alfalfa
since it was first Introduced Into the
United States ns a practical stock
food. When Mr. Martin produced some
kodnk pictures showing the plant grow
ing on the steppes of Russia. It was
discovered that the planl > vas different
in sc mo respects to nlfaU'a as near
ns could be seen in fie photograph.
Prof. Jones is of the opinion : hal If
the pnnt : which the old Russian was
fredin.4 In the moving pictures , was
not nlliilfa It Is something just as good
and \ & \ \ start at once to ! lnd out what
the p'.int Is through the Amc''loai ) con
