Active Preparations Ho Commence
Work on the Task—Several
Officials Selected Qualify.
THE POLICY THAT WILL BE PURSUED.
So Clfrhs Wanted Tnti! the
Come from the Kihiiiht .torn —'"•iiper-
vUiim to Appoint 40,000 Knuuieriatora
to Do the Actual Work Throughout the
Country.
Washington, March 1*3.—The policy
that will govern the task of taking1 the
census of 1DUI) was outlined in an of-
ficial statement made to the Associa-
ted press to-day by Director Merriam
*nd Assistant Director Wines. Di-
rector Merriam started for Minnesota
this afternoon, leaving Assistaut Di-
rector Wines in charge. On Gov. Mer-
riam's return Dr. Wines will go home
to settle his private affairs. Several
of the officials selected have qualified
and the active preliminary work will
begin at once. The statement of
policy follows:
As to prospootfvo apoolntmcnt* to office, the
services of no more staff ofQ -crs can be uttliz 'd
at present, and there will bo no oth -rs selected
within certainly 30 days. Prof. Henry Gannett,
the well-known geographer of the geological
survey, who was th* political and statistical
geographer of tho last census, has been asked
to take charge of the same work for the com-
ing census, and if the geological survey is
willing to spare him sufficiently to undertake
this woric ho will be intrusted with it and
given absolutely free hand. Until tho schedules
coma back to the offi e from tho enumerators
in July. 190J, thero will be no clerks wanted
save such a small skeleton force as will be nec-
essary to take care of tho correspondence and
office work preliminary to the taking of the
census. When the schedu es come back there
wi.l be a large force of employes appointed.
All applications f .r office will rtvoive consid-
eration and a large number already havo been
received and placed on flic. While the im-
pression has gone abroad that, the census is to
be a refuge for incompetency, the truth and
tho actual facts are that all anplicants will bo
subjected to examination before appointment,
which will be as rigid as the examinations before
tho civil service commission. No political in-
fluence will be sufficient to put tin employe on
the census pay rods of whose competency to
do the work to be assigned him the directors
are not satisfied in a ivance. And. furthermore,
if any employe is found to bo incompetent on
trial such employe will be discharged regard-
less of his or her political backing. The ex-
aminations of employes will b° directed not so
much for the testing of their general in-
formation and capacity as it will be to their
fitness for tho work to be done. a«, for example,
no copyist who cannot write or spell satisfac-
torily will be appointed nor calculators who
cannot calculate. First of all. after the general
administrative officers are • elected, there must
be 300 supervisors appointed an I in thoir selec-
tion consultation will b-> had with senators and
representatives in the resp -dive status. These
supervisors will be appointed by the president
and conllrmed by tho senate. None of
these as now contemplated, are to bo
rocess appointments, but the list will be ready
for submission to the sonate at tho opening of
the next session. The supervisions In turn,
will appoint 40,u00 enumerators to do the actual
work throught the country, but tho list of ap-
pointments of enumerators first must have the
approval of tho director of the census. After
approval they will be immediately furnished
the necessarv blanks and instructions. This
will be no small task. Assuming the popula-
tion of the United States at this time
to be, In round numbers. OO.oOO.OMJ peo-
ple. there must be 4UD.OO) sheets
issued for the population schedules alone.
Adding to these the other schedules, there will
have to be in the aggregate not less than 500.000
svich sheets iu printed form issued. All this
mass of paper will have to bo manufactured
anil printed without delay. In counting tho
population every individual will be represent-
ed by a separate card, and there will have to be
manufactured and printed not loss than 100,-
CK o.ouo Of these cards. The probabili-
ty is that a system of machine calcu sit-
ing which admits of counting facts in
combination and which worked so well in th"1
last census will be adopted for that of 1000
The -vork will be pushed with all possible
speed consistent with accuracy and every effort
made to avoid dragging the worK alonir unnec-
essarily. Taken all in ail, the complcto num-
ber of appointments that will b ' m ulo in the
course of tho census will be over 4\000. These
Include 18 or 20staff officers, :?K) supervisors
40,000 enumerators and about 3,0)0 clerks an<J
other employes here.
NEW MAIL SERVICE.
The Post Office Dop rr merit Has Neirotl«
ated for an Afternoon Trnlii from St.
l.onih to Itanium City.
St. Louis, March 13.—Negotiations
between the post otfice depurtment and
the Wabash railway management for
new mail service between Uutfalo, St.
Louis and Kansas City have been
brought to a favorable conclusion.
One part of the arrangement is a new
afternoon train over the Wabash from
St. Louis to Kansas City. The depar-
ture from St, Louis will be at two p.
m., and the arrival in Kansas City
will be made at 9:45 p. in., making the
night connections out. On its return
east the new mail train will leave
Kansas City at 6:15 p. in., arriving at
Buffalo at eight iu the evening of tho
following day and New York early
the next morning.
The Rook Island Advanced Wage*.
Chicago, March 12. —More than 3,009
employes of the roadway depart men t
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railroad are to be made happy by an
increase of pay. Vice President and
General Manager Harper, of the com-
pany, gave notice yesterday that every
section hand of the roadway depart-
ment on every line of the 8,000 miles of
the big system would have his wages
advanced from five to ten per cent
Tlier Mont Go to J*il Again.
Kansas City, Mo., March 12. — Again
the St. Clair county (Mo.) judges have
been called upon by the United States
court to pay the historical debt of that
county. And as those who are now
supposed to be in office ~re pledged to
the voters of the county against satis-
fying the legal claim against theii
county, it seems probable that St.
Clair county judges will again serve
terms in jail, as bome of them have
done twice before.
The Flrarea Were Chancer}.
Topeka, Kan., March 12.—The legis
ature passed an appropriation bill al
lowing Secretary Coburn, of the state
board of agriculture, 93,500 salary per
year, but the figures were changed
after the bill had passed and before it
reached tho governor, making th<
salary 82,000.

It does not come that way.
It creeps its way along.

then the fever and the night

you have a hemorrhage.

Washington, March IJ.—Chairman
'annon, of the committee on appro-
priations, has prepared for the Con-
gressional Record a more extended
statement f the appropriations made
by the Fifty-fifth congress than he
made the day after adjournment, lie
places the total appropriations for the
entire congress at $1,5(10,890,010, and
the appropriations authorized for fu-
ture congresses under the continuing
contract system for battleships, river
and harbor improvements nnd public
buildings at 870,000,000. lie cites the
defeat of the provision for the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal, which
the senate attempted to get through
in connection with the sundry civil
appropriation bill, as an instance of
the success of watchfulness on the
part of the house and savs:
if tho senate bill or any measure proposed
had been enacted the United States would havo
paid '5,000.(MM for a worthless concession und
would have been committed by law to the eon*
st ruction of u canal along the Nicaragua route
i under such conditions it would havo boon
compelled, before we threw a spadeful of earth
or in unv way began actual construction, to
have acquired by treaty from Nloaravua and
t o>ta Iticn the territory whereon to construct
the canal and the right to construct it
Such legislation would have delayed and em-
barrassed the construction of an Isthmian
canaL Tho United States cannot afford to en-
ter upon this great work until it has acquired
by treaty a zone of territory whereon to
struct the same. Fortunately the house of
representatives resisted the enactment of tho
proposed legislation and the contest
between the senate and house resulted
tlnally in tho only practical pro-
vision possible, vl*a, the appropriation of #1,-
000.D00 to enable tho president to make full
and complete Investigation of tho isthmus,
with a view to the future construction of a
canal across tho same, particularly tho Panama
anil Nicaragua routes, aud report to congress

CONCLRNING ADMIRAL DEWEY.
I'nleHH the Hero of Manila A*kn to lie |{r<
llevetl Wttr Depart inent Ofllelal* De-
sire Him to lt«>inalii There.
Washington, March 12.—The state-
ment can be repeated on the authority
of the detail of the otlice of the navy
department that Admiral Dewey will
not be relieved at Manila until he
chooses to make application for such
relief. So far he has not given any in-
timation of a purpose to apply for re-
lief in the immediate future and from
the few declarations he has let fall
tho department has every reason to
believe that he docs not contemplate
any such action. Consequently there
is no foundation for the story that Ad-
miral Schley or any other admiral
has been selected to take command of
the Asiatic station. So far as the
navy department is concerned the
directing ollieials are not only willing
but anxious that Dewey shall
complete his task and they de-
preciate the circulation of such
stories as those alleging that he is to
be relieved because by reason of con-
stant reiteration the impression might
be conveyed to the admiral that tho
department would like to relieve him,

Dallas, Tex., March 12.— Col. William
J. Bryan completed his lecture tour
in Texas at Dallas yesterday. He ad-
dressed a packed opera house in the
afternoon and spoke to about 500
laboring men at their hall. His lec-
ture was in opposition to terri-
torial expansion, which he said
would be checked by the American peo-
ple lowering the stars and stripes in
Cuba, Porto Itico and the Philippine
islands. He arraigned trusts and syn-
dicates, holding that, while the gov-
ernment could tear the husband from
his wife, the son from his mother and
sisters and force them to face the dan-
gers of war, it was powerless, under
republican administration, to strangle
the trusts.

Henry Collins, after a conference last-
ing several days, have decided not to
appeal the case to the supreme court.
Judge Ha/en will sentence the young
man in ten days or two weeks and that
will end the most remarkable murder
case in the annals of Kansas. Two
considerations—the hopelessness of an
appeal and the tremendous expense
Involved—caused the determination to
drop the ease.
PERFECT
WOMAN
MOOD
PERFECT womanhood depends on perfect health.
Nature's rarest gifts of physical beauty vanish before
pain.
Sweet dispositions turn morbid and fretful.
The possessions that win good hus- ,
bands and keep their love should be guard-
ed by women every moment of their lives.
The greatest menace to woman's per-
manent happiness in life is the suffering
that comes from derangement of the
feminine organs.
Many thousands of women have realized ' —
this too late to save their beauty, barely in time to save their
lives. Many other thousands have availed of the generous in-
vitation of Mrs. Pinkliam to counsel all suffering women free
of charge.
Mrs. H. J. Garretson, Bound Brook, N. J., writes "Dear
Mrs. Pinkham—I have been tak-
ing Lvdia K. Pinkham*s Vegetable
Compound with the best results
and can say from my heart that
your medicines are wonderful.
My physician called my trouble
chronic inflammation of the left
ovary. For years I suffered very
much, but thanks to Mrs.
Pinkhatn's Vegetable Com-
pound and kind advice, I
\ am today a well wo-
man. 1 would say to all
H * suffering women, take
Lydia E. Pinkhatn's
medicine and your suf-
erings will vanish."
Mrs. Macgie Phil-
lipi'e, of Ladoga, Ind.,
writes:
•' Dear Mrs. Pink-
ham—For four years I
suffered from ulcera-
tion of the womb.
I became so weak I
could not walk across
the room without help. After giving up all hopes of recovery,
I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkhatn's Vegetable Com-
pound and wrote for special information. I began to improve
from the first bottle, and am now fully restored to health,"

Style of Dewey'* Uniform.
Washington, March 12.—Admiral
Dewey has been instructed to pre-
scribe his own uniform for the exalted
rank to which he has just been ap-
pointed. His uniform, under former
regulations, when the navy had an
admiral, would be four stars on his
shoulder straps, the end stars being
on an anchor. Upon his sleeves he
would wear two very broad bands of
gold, between which would be a band
of yellow half the width of the out-
side bands. The yellow on his sleeves
would extend nearly to the elbow.
Dropped a Foriime In the Ntreet.

which he had just drawn from a bank

I "Blank's uglier than a bear," complained
one board of trade man to another, recent-
j ly. "What's the matter with linn, anyhow
! "Haven't you heard? I'll tell you on the
; quiet, but never intimate to him that you
know a thing. It would be ail your life's
worth. You Know he owns a fine home out
north of the boulevard?"
"Off to the right near Highland Park?"
" That's the place, lie has a neighbor on
either side anu one of them owned one of
these cows that never wants to stay where
she's put. She was constantly breaking into
Blank's back yard, tramping the lawn to
pieces, breaking the shrubbery and using
the side of the house, in lieu of a straw-
stack, to rub against. No fencethat would
not deface the property would keep her out,
and Blank decided that something must be
done. He could not bear the idea of a
neighborhood row, so he went to the owner
ol the cow, t old him that she had become an
intolerable nuisance and that lie would glad-
ly give $20 to have her disposed of. The of-
fer was promptly accept en, and the money
paid. \ morning or two later the cow was
in the yard again, destroying things just as
of old. Blank hunted lip his neighbor and
said1: 'I thought you promised me to get rid
of that cow at once.'
'I did and I have. Sold1 her to your
neighbor on the other side for $.'10. Pretty
good deal, wasn't it. $50 for n $25 cow V
Blank's been mad enough lo shoot ever
since." Detroit Free Press.

The pleasant method and bencficiul
effects < f the well known remedy*
Svhup op Fiiis, manufactured by the
California Fio Svhup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining- the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
tliem in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub-
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufact uring tigs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna ami
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please

printed on the front of every package.
