.'. contract U entered Into last night
by the mayor, city lerk and the council on
one "lda anS T"arfcs, Johnson A Parks o.i
th other1 for tha paving of Twenty-fourth
trect from A to Q street. It was an
adjourned meeting of thi council and upon
a motion 'made by Adkin the contract
for tho pavement wn mad with the Parka
firm at tha rate of tl.9S per cubic yard.
At the contusion of the meeting the con
tract wa slgnee by tha mayor and clerk
and a representative of the Parks firm.
It Is understood that the bonds for the
payment of this work will be advertised for
ale within few lays.
When the bids for this paving were
opened an order of the district court pre
vented the mayor and council from enter-
Ins; Into contract with any of the bidders.
Wednesday afternoon the attorney forthe
plaintiffs In the Injunction suit filed an
order of dismissal. This order was tiled
shortly before 6 p. m. with the clerk of
the district court.
The representation was made to the
plaintiffs that the levy for the speclel tax
would be adjusted so that the property
owners- would pay two-fifths of the cost
and the. city three-fifths. While there Is
nothing- In writing to this effect promises
seemed- to go and the suit was dismissed
This -left the council open to so ahead
and awafd the contract, which was done
without delay.
Plaintiffs In the Injunction case had pre
viously stated that the council sitting as
a board of equalisation could assess the
taxes for the Improvement so as to make
abutting property twners pay two-flfth of
the cost Instead of three-fifths as Is now
provided by law. Speaking on this sub
ject City Attorney Lambert said last night:
"The board of equalization cannot make
any. agreement or bind Itself to do any
thing but assess the property according to
the benefit."
When the contract was signed Parks,
Johnson parks produced the necessary
bond, and ' unless there Is an Injunction
against the city selling the bonds the pave
ment may be laid this year.
' fnder a suspension of the rules the
council passed . ordinances, giving to the
Union Pacific the privilege of running a
track With switches on the west side of
the M. C. " Peters feed mill at Twenty
ninth and A streets. This track Is to cross
C; D and E streets.
Dw'orak suggested that an effort be made
to renew the lease en the ground now
occupied by fire hall No. 8 In Brown park.
This will most likely be done, as the city
haa ho 'rroDerty In sight to move the
building where this fire company Is now
Quartered.
' An ordinance; for the grading of Twenty
eeoond street from 8 to T street was read
tor the first time and referred to the
Judiciary- committee.
Scarcity of Laborers.
Bmjerlntendent at all of the packing
bouses are complaining about the scarcity
Of laborers. They say that a big majority
of the old-time packing house men have
drifted away, from South Omaha and that
ordinary laborers are now employed on
railroad work or In the harvest fields.
Within ft short time the packing houses
will have big consignments of live stock
and there Is a casting about for men to
perform the work. Very few Idle men
are to be found on the streets and those
who are working are staying pretty close
to home after. Working hours. There la
a. chance that When the harvest time is
over that there will be an Influx of men
willing to work In the packing houses dur
ing the busy .season. As tt Is now most
all of the applicants for Jobs at the pack
ing plants are boys and unskilled In pack
ing house work. The statement Is made by
emi)oyers that laborers can secure good
wage, here now and men are wanted.
Sanitary "ewer Repaired.
The break In the city aanltary aewer
Oa Railroad avenue has been repaired,
CSty Engineer Beat reported last night
that the aewer had been cleared of ob
struction and that the pipe had been
flooded and Is now In good working order.
Later en the details aa to the cost will
come up for consideration, the first object
Of the city officials being to get the sewer
tn working order. This aewer la atated
to be large enough for the purpose at this
time - and for soma time to come. The
only complaint . now is the open sewer
South from Swlft'a commonly called Mud
creak. ".

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINE8, Aug. 10. (Special.) At the
request of an eastern newspaper State
librarian Johnson Brlghnm tonight sent
the paper i.snn words explaining the loss
n population of Iowa, Briefly stated
. .. . . . . . , .h
believes that the loss Is due to the
, he
fact
that there arc a less number of farms In
the state. Mr. Brlgham said today: "I
have examined the statistics thus far gath
ered by the census department and And
that the farms are larger and there are
fewer of them. This I believe to be due
to the fact that with the prosperity of
the state and the growth of wealth farm
era with money have bought up the farm
of their neighbors and added them to their
own farms. Th improvements In farm
machinery makes it possible for the farm
to be worked with a less number of people
than formerly and hence the farm popnla
tlon of the state has decreased. At the
same time there has not been an Increase
In the city population sufficient to over
come this loss In the rural population.
The loss Is small and when the census
returns are all In will be found to be not
more than ),000 for the entire state.
Rirlndee Women from Office.
It waa discovered today for tho first time
that women will not be able to hold office
under the new primary election law which
was passed by the last legislature to apply
to Polk county. Mrs. F. W. Dodson ha
held the office of recorder for two term
It was discovered today that every office
holder must make affidavit to being a
"qualified voter," and this. It Is believed,
excludes women from holding any office.
There is talk of making an effort to Induce
the legislature which meets next January
to change this section so that women may
continue to hold the office of recorder In
this county.
. Appeal Fish Case.
An appeal was made to the supreme court
today In the case of the state against Ed
Denhardt for seining seventy-five fish. The
Information was filed against Denhardt In
JefferHon township in Greene county In a
Justice court and he was found guilty.
The case will be a test of the game law
as applying to fish.

BIRTH RATE IS DECREASING

tilj Smaller Iombt of Children.
DECLINE MARKED IN NORTH AND WEST
Sonthern State Keep Nearer the Pro
portion of Earlier Tear and
Hegroea Do Better Than
Whltea.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-That "there
ha been a perata'ent decline of the birth
rate in the United Statea since IW Is th
conclusion reached In a bulletin Issued by
the census bureau. The bulletin waa pre
pared by Prof. Walter F. Wilcox of Cor
nell university and It Is explained that
although an analysis made offers many
suggestions as to prob.ible tendencies in
the birth rate of the United States, It Is.
primarily, not a study In birth rates, but
a study In the proportion 6f children to
the total population or to the number of
women of child-bearing age.
The result of the study shows that at
the beginning of the nineteenth century
the children under 10 year of age consti
tuted one-third and at the end lee than
one-fourth of the total population. The
decrease In this proportion began as early
as the decade 1810 tn 1SP0. and continued
uninterruptedly, though at varying rates.
In each successive decade. Between 1K0
and 1!M0 the proportion of children to
women between IS and 4 years, the child
beating age, Increased, but alnce lfV) It ha
constantly decreased. It Is stated that
the decrease haa been very unequal from
decade to decade, but that If the compu
tation Is made upon the basis of twenty
year periods. It has been regular. In 1M0
the number of children under t years
of age to 1,000 women 16 to 49 yeara of age
waa 644; In 1900 It waa only 474. The pro
portion to potential mothers In 1900 waa
only three-fourths as large aa In 1K0.
I.lttle Data to Work Upon.
No attempt Is made by the author of
the bulletin to determine the probable
causes of this decline. An extended ar
gument by General Francis A. Walker Is
given suggesting that It Is largely due to
the influx of foreigner and the resultant
shock to the popular Instinct of the na
tives. But Prof. Wilcox does not express
a definite opinion, claiming that the vital
statistics of the United States are not
sufficiently developed to afford a sound
bals of Judgment. He notes, however,
that there haa been a similar marked de
cline In the rate of Australia, when there
haa been no such torrent of Immigration.
Considered sectlonally It la round that (
in the north and west there has been a,
more or less regular decline, while in the
south the change haa been lea regular
nnd the decline less marked. In 1K0 the
proportion of children to 1.000 women in
the north and west was five-sixths of what
It was in the south; In 1900 It was less than
three-fourths. In 1900 the smallest pro-
portion of children was In the District of
Columbla. where the number of children
under 6 waa hardly one-fourth the num
ber of women of child-bearing age. The
next smallest proportion was In Massa
chusetts, where It was slightly more than
one-third. The largest proportion waa In
North Dakota and Indian Territory, in each
of which It was two-thirds.
Decline Pronounced In Cltlea.
In the general decrease between 180
and 1900 not a single state of the north
Atlantic division took part. In seven
other state, also, there wa no decrease.

ern divisions It Is hardly more than half
aa large in the cities a In the country,
while In the far west the difference I
Intermediate In amount. "This," It is ex
plained. "Is probably due In large measure
to the fact that the immigrant population
who have been swarming Into the north
ern cltlea In recent yeara, especially into
the clles of the north Atlantic atates, have
been multiplying by numerous births with
much rapidity, while the corresponding
laboring class which hss Immigrated to

ing." A comparison is made between the pro
portion of children born of native mothers
to 1.000 native women of child-bearing age
and the proportion of children born to
foreign born mothers to 1.000 foreign born
women of child-bearing age. In 100 the

difference Indicating the greater fecundity
of foreign born women.
Negroes Make Better Showing-.
The bulletin continues: -The
comparison also Indicates that the
total decrease In fecundity of white women
between irw and 19iO sua the result of
a decrease for native white women partly
offset by an Increase for foreign born white
women. .
In the Atlantic divisions, however, there
was a slight Increase In the proportion
of rhlldren born to native white mothers
and In the south central division there
was but a slight decrease. The decrease
for . the whole country, therefore, was
the result very largely of the great de
crease In the north central and western
divisions.
The decrease In tha proportion of children
born to native white women was confined
chiefly to cities.
The proportion of negro children to negro
women 15 to 49 yeara of age was largest
in ISM and smallest In 1900. There has
been uniformly a larger proportion of
negro children than of white children. That
difference more than doubled between 1R00
and 1RW, but In , 1900 It was less than
half what It was In 1HW, and less at any
other census except ISfiO.
Although the negroes have a larger pro
portion of children than the whites, It
has been noticed that the whites of the
south have a larger proportion than th
whltea In other sections. of the country.
