Vermont lias honored herself in honor

tain hero, Ethan Allen, of Revolutionary
fame. She a!o cboe wisely in select

Not the leat impressive of the many
figure in regard to railroad mileage, pas
sengers carried, etc., are those which
show that 10.04(5 person lost their lives
on American railroad lat year. In
other words, the railroad annually kill
as many people as perih in a great
battle.
New Orleans seem to tie doing a
healthy buine despite the yellow fever
quarantine. A'-eording to Jiradstreet.
the clearing of the Crescent City for
the pt week amounted to $13.G0",S!3,
leing 23 per cent in excess of the' clear
ings for the corresponding week of last
year. The clearings were also in excess
of the clearings at Minneapolis, Mil
waukee, Buffato and Lonisville, and only
a trifle les than the Hearing in Cleve
land and Detroit. Apparently yellow jack
i not the terror to business now that
he was in former times.
British 4 pathologists, humanitarians,
economist and beau have uiyted in a
crusade against ice and ice cream. The
pathologist eonteud that by auddenly
reducing the temperature of the diges
tive tract such food tends to weaken
the heart and inflame the tomach. The.
humanitarian declare that dirty water,
impure cream, . adulterated ingredient
flavors and poisonous phosphate, served
up in sodas and ices will in time debili
tate tlie races. The economist declares
that Indon' middle, and lower classes,
are come to spend almost a much on
such tuff a they do and have done on
liquor, aud the bean opposes buying
soda iu addition to beer for pecuniary
reasons. The beau, Wing the most di
rectly concerned is likely to have most
weight in the controversy and the soda
and the ice will go from Kngland if tiie
beaud do not demur. For it would appear
that the English girl has learned from
her American sister to hem! suggestive
ly every time a soda fountain i sighted.
But the ii-ed drinks have their good side.
They have caused, it is said, a marked
decrease in the quantity of wines and
liquors consumed in England. The home
consumption's decline is shown by the
following table, compiled from ex i-"

Consequently the British brewer and
his brother, tlie distiller, add their cry
to the pathologist in the dicusion of
sodas and ice
Dr. Briggs of Nashville, Tenn., advo
cates race suicide for the poor." That
would mean fewer people to work for
the rich. But a race suicide is now prac
ticed almost exclusively by the rich and
well-to-do classes, who are constantly
Ving recruited in blood and stamina
from the ranks of tlie poor, what is to
liecome of the race! Last year out of
S'XI children born in Chicopee, Mass.,
only 102 were 1orn of American liorn
parents. Of the others, 519 were the
progeny of foreign born parents, while
the other 11!) were the fruit of unions
between foreigners and natives. If the
loor imitate the self-destruction of the
rich, the human race will immolate itself
in an effort to defeat the law of nature
in defiance of the commandments of
God. "
Norway now presents the interesting
spectacle of a kingdom in search of a
king. In it act of disunion it commit
ted itself to a continuation of the
monarchial form of government, but
thus far it has not been able to find
GOOD NEWS.
Many Astoria Readers Hare Heard it
and Profited Thereby.
'Good news travel fast," and the
thousands of bad back sufferer in As
toria are glad to learn that prompt relief
i within their reach. Many a lame and
weak ami aching back i liad no more,
thank to Poan's Kidney Pills. People
are telling the good news of their esu
rient with the Old Quaker Remedy.
Here is an example worth rending.
Mr. .1. O. Steams, of Mt. Ta1or, Port
land. Oregon, 'living on West Avenue,
wife of J. O. Stearn, real estate dealer,
with office in the Washington block, on
Morrison Street, says: "The merit of
Doan's Kidney Bills is beyond question.
My huband procured a oox for me and
their use relieved me of backache and
other symptom of kidney complaint,
which had given me considerable annoy
ance for some time. Any one suffering
from this most prevalent ailment, judg
ing from my own exieriencc and from
the benefit I received, will con-ult their
own hf-alth and comfort by giving
Doan's Kidney Pills a trial."

ria people. Call at Charles Rogers' drug

Present Center a Few Miles West of
Columbus Indiana.
Washington. Aug 23, Already tiie ex
pert in the government eenu Wurcau,
are wondering how milch further wet
than it present location' i south cen
j Hal Indiana the center of American pop-
ulation will be found In lIUO.
In 17!H thi center was in enstern Ma
ryland, and a century later it waa in
Indiana, twenty mile from Colnmbu. a
city forty mile south of lndiunapoli.
In l!HW it had moved still further wet-
'ward, though, owing to the marrelouly
'rapid growth of the large eastern cities,
'the industrial awakening of the south,
and the fact that most of the public do
j main available for immediate cultivation
j had Wn taken up prior to 1800 the dis
tant covered was less than in any pre
vious decade since 1S10,
The preent center of population i a
few mile west of this same city of Co
lnmbu. The belief that 1010 will take
the center toward the west boundary
line of Indiana is led largely on the
rapid growth in population of the south
west and the mountain country fartiiert
north.
A illustration of the way this growth
i progressing, it may be noted that
from 181H) to l'.KiO the population of Ok
lahoma increased from 01.834 to 301,331,
or more tlum 5rt per cent; Arizona's
lipulation increased front 32,052 to 101.
772. The most of this increase ha Wn
due to immigration, which is still un
der way, and it i entirely probable that
the census of 1010 will show in the lo
calities named a growth which i almost
a great as that between the year 1S!H
and 1000.
In proHrtion a thi growth continue,
the center of population will lie affected.
Tlie great eitie of the Ent continue
to develop in population, owing for the
most part to foreign population and thi
will lie their conditio for many years
to come.
The only thing, therefore which can
prevent the center of population from
turning tail and moving eastward will
be the continued growth of the country
beyond the Mississippi and tlie Missouri.
In this connection it may be said that
the rapid strides made the Puget sound
country during the kt census contrib
uted its full share to holding the center
of imputation toward the wet. and the
same section will perform quite n im
portant scrvii in l'.HO.
And what i tme of Puget sound i true
also of southern California. .
