The last named company recently conveyed all Its rights and privi leges Under this franchise to the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge com pany, under a lease from which the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company Is operating tha s'.reet car system In Coun cil Bluffs. Following the recent visit of Attorney General Byera to this city, when he met with a committee from the West Council Bluffs and West End Improvement clubs, at which he made public the result of his and City Solicitor Kimball's Investigation of the status of the street railway com pany's franchise rights in this city, the matter was referred by the city council to the Judiciary and the city solicitor to advise what steps.

This report will be made to the city council at the adjourned meeting next Monday night, when It Is expected requisite Instructions will be given the city solicitor to Institute the legal proceedings. The committee decided that no attack would be made on the rights of the street railway company under the franchise granted the Omaha & Council Bluffs Rail way and Bridge company In October, 1SS6, which expires In October, 1911. "I do not know how soon I will be able to prepare the papers In the proposed suit, provided the city council should act In ac cordance with the recommendation of the Judiciary committee," said Mr. Kimball yes terday. "The report of the committee will recommend that the proceedings be Insti tuted as soon as possible and I shall do my best to get the papers ready for filing In a short time. The proceedings will prob ably be brought In the district court." "The city can bring suit as soon as It wants to," said Charles M. Hart of the firm of Harl ft Tlnley, attorneys for the street railway company. The franchise has been thoroughly Investigated by eminent lawyers to whom It was submitted. The company has no doubt whatever as to the outcome and It has abiding confidence In the validity of its franchise rights In Coun cil Bluffs."

The Thirteenth Census It Is probable that the thirteenth census will credit the United States, exclusive of the Philippines, with a population of 90. 000,000. an Increase of 14.000.000 over the rec ord of 1HO0. No one may venture, with confidence, to predict the results of a census which must take Into account the many marvelous changes of the first de cade of the twentieth century, yet so closely do certain tendencies of growth follow de fined rules that many of the Important showings may be discounted. For Instance, In 1K4. Mulhall, the eminent English statis tician, made a prediction of the probable results of the American census of 1890. The final results differed but a few thousands from Mulhall's estimate, the difference be ing less than 1 per cent. Although 14,000.000 Inhabitants have been added to our population In the past ten years. It Is relatively a smaller Increase than that of the previous ten years. Sta tisticians expect to see the United States continue to grow, but at a constantly dim inishing rate. As the country becomes more and more filled up, the opportunities for the poor of Europe to better their conditions here will become fewer and fewer, and Immigration will fall off more and more with each passing decade. The result will show In the Increased proportion of Inhabitants born on American soil. Of course the most Interesting result of the thirteenth census will be the relative showing of the states In the matter of population. Will they hold the same re lative position In congressional and elec toral college representation during the next ten years that they now hold. To the In dividual state that is an Important ques tion. And It means still more than that. Representation In the great national con ventions Is fixed by the number of senators and representatives In congress, and thus may party policy and the whole course of our future political history hang on the results of the forthcoming reckoning. The statea may show a change in the order of precedence as based on population. This has happened at every census, though with a decreasing ratio at the more recent ones. In IKK) Kansas ranked nineteenth In population, but by 1900 Minnesota, Missis sippi and California had forced It back. Into twenty-second place. Wisconsin moved up from fourteenth to thirteenth place, Washington from thirty-fourth to thirty- third, Oregon from thirty-eight to thirty fifth, Georgia from twelfth to eleventh, and Maryland from twenty-seventh to twenty-sixth. On the other hand Wyom ing dropped back three notches, Vlrglna two, Vermont four, Utah three. New Hampshire three and a number of other states on step backward each. It Is ap parent that In a close political campaign such changes as these may work wonders both In the complexl6n of the house and the control of the presi dency. It Is not Improbable that several of the states will have their representa tion cut down by the thirteenth census. Two of them, Virginia and Maine, narrowly escaped such a castastrophe as a result of the 1900 count. The returns will probably result In a remarkable shake-up among the cities of the country. While this will mean little or nothing nationally, to the Individual city It seems an Important proposition, and there are as many healthy rivalries for position In the ten-year endurance con tests of the cities as there are In a well matched horse race with a large number of entries. For Instance, Akron, -Ohio hold ing 109th place In ks90 forged ahead to 87th place In 1900, while Albany, New. Tork holding 28th place In 1890 slipped back to 40th In 1900. Butte, Montana Jumped from 169th place to 133rd. Cincinnati dropped back from eighth to tenth place. Cleveland hustled up a bit and landed In seventh place from ninth. Duluth climbed out of tlst place Into 72nd, Houston, Texas, from 110th to 85th and Los Angeles from 66th to 36th. Portland, Oregon moved up from 60th to 42nd and Seattle from 69th to 48th. It was a gruelling race In which only seventy-five of the 161 cities of over 26,000 In habitants, were able to keep ahead of the places In which they started. An equal number fell behind, and eleven simply held theli own. There will be a driving finish as the present ten-year race winds up. There Is much room for speculation as to what the figures will show as to the aggregate wealth of the nation. If the In dustrial progress of the first four years of Feud Country is Quiet on the j Surface Only Ed Callahan is in Hourly Fear of Assassination Trouble Probable Over Burning Ballots. JACKSON. Ky., Nov. 4. By dusk tonlsrht all the Breathitt county folk who live out side Jackson had heard enough election returns, and, after firing their pistols Intermittently for a while, rode out of town. The Cynthlana company of state militia left today. The presence of the Lexington soldiers has a quieting effect. They will remain here during the sitting of court, whlci ends next Sunday. Late returns give the democrats, headed by Circuit Judge-Elect D. B. Redwlne, a sweeping majority In the mountains. l ne cynthlana company. It was learned today, to have been without a single round of ammunition during Its stay In Jackson. Captain J. R. Sams or the Lexlnt,-t3n company reported today that on their way to Crockettsvllle Monday night the soldiers were fired upon by a band of men iirmin the Kentucky river. They returned the nre and a detail caught one man, who, when found to be unarmed, was released. Details of the fire at the Deaton home at Crockettsvllle Monday night also arrived today, and they indicate that there may be serious trouble in this vicinity as a result. Ed Callahan, say the soldiers, la agin In fear of assassination. He had a detail of soldiers escort him from the polls at Crockettsvllle Tuesday, and while he and his enemy, Govan Smith, and their follow ers were at the polls all day. they re mained peaceful. John Blanton admitted tonight that It was he and not his brother TUden who killed Demosthenes Noble at the Spring Fork precinct polls Tuesday. John said that Noble had shot TUden In the arm and after TUden had fired and missed John shot and killed. John was arrested at once. It Is stated tonight that $30,000 was spent In Breathitt county by the republican and democratlo commltteea during the earn palgn just closed. Judge Redwlne tonight declared that h would exterminate the 'blind tigers" In Breathitt county. Late tonight the town was deserted and quiet. See want-ads brlcg results. Some Probable Results the present decade had continued un checked to the end of the period, we would find ourselves a nation with an ag gregate wealth of more than $140,000,000,000. The Increase probably received a notable check In the panic of 1907, and I12&.000.000.000 may more nearly approximate the grand total of all our wealth In 1910. This Is ap proximately double the wealth of the next richest nation In Christendom. In manufactures. If the rate of progress that was shewn between 1900 and 1906 should be continued to the end of the de cade, the results ought to show an annual output valued at about 31S.5O0.O00.000. Wages paid In manufacturing Industries ought to amount to nearly $3,000,000,000 a year. A highly Interesting test of the accuracy of the estimates of the Department of Agriculture will be made In the analysis of the statistics of the farm. The depart ment makes annual estimates of the pro duction of all the Important crops and of the number of farm animals In the country. The figures are based on estimates made by crop correspondents of the percentages above and below normal a given year will show. The census figures will be based on actual returns from every farm, and Secretary Wilson will have the opportunity to prove that his estimating bureau knows Its business. His crop and stock figures for 1910 will be on hand first, and the world will have a' chance to know Just how well he has guessed. ThoaG who are cognizant of the methods pursued by the Department of Agriculture In estimating crop yields and crop acreage are aware that these esti mates cannot be as accurate as the actual farm to farm Inquiries of paid enumerators. It Is probable that the. returns will over state rather than understate the population of the country, even though there Is not a single Instance of padding them. Mttst of this will occur In the cities. For In stance, when an enumerator visits a house where a servant Is employed, it Is not im probable that the servant's name will be Included In the returns for that household. In another section of the city another enumerator may be enumerating the family of that same servant, and thus the servant Is counted twice In the final summing up. Extraordinary efforts will be made to make the manufacturing statistics reveal the true conditions of manufacturing. For Instance, In the matter of canned corn, the major portion of the value of the product Is the corn that enters Into It. The actual value added by the canning factory Is a very small portion of the gross value of the product. It Is possible to arrive at the aotual significance of the corn-canning; Industry only by showing the differ ence between the cost of the materials and the value of the product. As the census of fice goes further In Its investigations It Is gradually eliminating the duplication caused by counting the product of the fac tory twice. The automobile Industry Is another remarkable instance of how values tray be duplicated.. One factory makes the tires and reports their value to the census. Even that value may have been reported in part by the factory which made the coarse goods on which the rubber Is moulded. Another factory makes the leather for the cushions. The steel and Iron mills and foundries make the steel and Iron and reckons It in the value of their output. Another factory makes the ! glass, and another the woodwork, and an other the paint. Each .makes ua report of the value of Its outpuLAfter each Item has been counUjd Jn (heTcross., operations, , of one, two, or even .thrc either Industries they are all carried over JLo.the automobile Industry and counted again in the value of the output there. From this It will be seen that the only way to find the net re sults of manufacture Is to deduct the cost of the materials as they come to each fac tory that has a part In the production of the finished article. The thirteenth census will look more carefully Into this than any of Its predecessors. On the whole. It Is freely predicted that the great national snapshot of April 16, 1910, will show a picture that will gratify every one of the 90,000,000 patriotic hearts In this land of the free. It probably will show a higher degree of mental, moral and physical well being than any other census. It will tell a tale of progress that will be Justification for pride upon the part of every American citizen. - By rrederlo J. Kaskln. Tomorrow The Thirteenth Census. T History of Census Making. BIG STRUCTURE IS UNSAFE New York Building; Costing Two Ml, lions, and Only Nlae Yeara Old, Abandoned. NEW TORK, Nov. 4.-Abandonment of the criminal courts building, a 12,000,000 structure, only nine years old, was ordered by the police tonight, following a report by the superintendent of the building that Its walls might collapse. The structure Is of stone and apparently substantial, but It was built before the days of steel rein forcement and the excavations for the sub way caused Its foundations to sag. The criminal courts building has been the scene of many famous trials, Including the Thaw, the Molineux cases. Of late, new cracks in the walls and ceilings have been discovered almost dally and the Jus tices of the courts have been alarmed. One justice refused to hear a case today and temporarily excused a Jury. Welcome Words To' Women If, you arc an intelligent thinking woman, in need of relief from weakness, nervous ness, pain and suffering, then it means much to you that there is one tried and true honest square-deal medicine OF KNOWN COMPOSITION, sold by druggists for the cure of woman's ills. The makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of weak, nervous, run-down, over-worked, debilitated, pain-racked women, knowing this medicine to be made up of ingredients, every one of which has the strongest possible endorsement of the leading and standard authorities of the several schools of practice, are perfectly willing, and in fact, are only too glad to print, as they do, the formula, or list of ingredients, of which it is composed, in plain Enghsh. on every bottle-wrapper. Is this not a significant fact worthy of careful consideration? Women use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription in preference to all other ad vocated medicines sold by druggists for their peculiar weaknesses and ailments because it is THE ONE REMEDY which contains no alcohol or hablt-tormlng drugs, Is not anything like advertised secret compounds or patent medicines. THE ONE REMEDY tor women devised by a regularly graduated physician of vast experience In woman's ail ments and carefully adapted to her delicate organism. THE OSE REMEDY good enough that Its makers are not afraid to print its every Ingredient on Its outside bottle-wrapper. It's foolishoften dangerous to be over-persuaded into accepting a secret nostrum" in place of this time proven medicine of known COMPOSITION. World's Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y.

DINNER FOR THE JAPANESE Commercial Delegation Guests of Embassy Staff at Washington. ADDRESS BY SECRETARY KNOX Head of State Department Officially Welcomes Gneata to United Statea and Dlaenaaea Historic Friend ship of Nations. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. Stirring ad dresses bearing on the ties which unite the Japanese and American nations, the wonderful progrecs of the former country and the Importance of bringing about a perfect commercial understanding between the two, characterised the banquet given last night by the staff of the Japanese em bassy to the visiting Japanese commercial commission, the members of which are making a tour of the country as the guests of the Pacific coast chambers of commerce. Tables were set for 130 In the banquet hall of the Now Wllllard hotel, those present Including, In addition to the guests of honor, members of the cabinet and others promlnept In the official, social and busi ness ' life of Washington. ' In honor of the visiters the floral decora tloi.s were largely of chrysanthemums of various colors, with a liberal sprinkling of American Beauty roses, while the na tional colors of Japan were gracefully entwined with those of America. Toasts were drunk to the president of the United States and to the emperor of Japan. Secre tary of State Knox, In proposing the toast to the mikado, remarked that it was most appropriate on this anniversary of the emperor's birth and In the distinguished company of Japanesa present. Addresses were made by Secretaries Knox and Balllnger; Mr. Matsul, charge d'affairs of the Japanese embassy; Baron Shlbusawa and District Commissioner MacFarland. Addreaa of Secretary Knox. Secretary Knox spoke In p-rt as follows: It Is my privilege and a great pleasure to welcome you to Washington on behalf of this government and to express the sincere hope that your journeyings nnd observations and entertainments In this country have been and will continue to be comfortable and profitable and agree able to you. This Is an opportunity of which I gladly avail to speak of the ties which have contributed to unite our two nntlons In smlty and essential harmony ever since the days when to American representatives first of all you opened your doors for reciprocal exchange of good will and civil isation and trade. We have learned from you as you from us. We admire vou for all of your national gifts and virtues and not the least for those casualties In which you differ from us. The great modern movements of accord and good understanding between nations are after all the lofty achievements and the crown of all International relations. The controlling principle of these movements is peaceful and beneficial International inter course and the peaceful settlement by arbi tration of differences and controversies extending that principle, by friendly diplo macy, as rapidly as possible to embrace an Increasing number and variety of dis putes and ultimately by voluntary Inter national compacts make peaceful settle ments of all differences compulsory or prac tically so. I am confident that you will agree that It Is altogether In accordance with the honorable and enlightened attitude both of Japan and the United States, and that it It is an absolutely pure distillation of malted grain, great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly malted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predi gested liquid iood in the formation of a medi cinal whiskey; softened by warmth and moisture, its palatablity and freedom from injurious substances render it so that It can be retained by the most sensitive stomach. It is a gentle, invigorating stimulant and tonic. v should be the aim of true statesmanship, to continue to keep abreast of these benefi cent movements in which they have borne so distinguished a part. Thus the long and unbroken friendship of the United States and Japan, of which your visit and this occasion are such happy symbols, and the laudsble common purpose of Japan and the United States to respect each other's rights and with frankness, patience and good temper to adjust such differences as inevitably arise even between nations of sympathetic and common pur poses, will be exemplars which will bear fruit and aid in tha rrHritml raiitinn t the noblest Ideals for the unity, concord and piueircmjr oi me worm. In his brief remarks Mr. Matsul said that his countrymen had been able to learn of the enormous potentialities of American enterprise and he hoped that the meeting between them and the business men of America would conduce to a better under standing between Japan and the United Statea. Especially appreciative of the treatment that had been accorded his countryme.-. was Baron Shlbusawa. Life to Ihem had been perceptibly broadened by their visit to the United States, he said. "Japan," he said, "wants to do the best It can within Its power to pay the heavy debt It owes to America and one of the most effective ways to do this, I believe, is In promoting the trade relations between the two countries. That trado already is extensive. Japan's Intention Is to take part in America's trade to the utmost of Its ability and Its oppor tunity. Its Ideals not necessarily to benefit itself to the detriment of America and other nations. Japan wants to develop the trade so as to benefit both participants." Today being the anniversary of the birth of the emperor, the visitors assembled at the Japanese embassy, where they cele brated the occasion after the fashion of their country.
