CENTER OF POPULATION.
In 1790 the center of population
was 23 miles east of Baltimore; 18
miles west of Baltimore in 1800; 1G
miles north of Woodstock, va., in
1820; 19 miles southwest of Moore-
field, W.Va., in 1830; 1G miles south
of Clarksburg, W. Va., in 18-10; 23
miles southeast of Parkersburg. W.
Va., in 1850; 20 miles south of Chil-
licothe, O., in 18G0; 48 miles east of
Cincinnntti in 1880: 20 miles west of
Columbus, Ind in 1890. This rep
resents a western movement of 505
miles.
An explanation as to how the cen
ter of population is obtained was re
cently given by a wnler in the
"Nortwest Magazine, who sai.l :
"When the late General Francis A.
"Walker was superintendent of the
census, he explained the method of
ascertaining the center of population
somewhat as follows : Upon an im
aginary board shaped exactly like
the map of the United States, nnd
having no weight, the population is
grouped in accordance with the dis
tribution shown by the census re
turns. ISach inhabitant is supposed
to have exactly the same weight.
Then the point at which the boaid
balances is the center of population."
The movement of the center of
population towards the West is what
Las made it a matter peculiar inter
est. Just where it will be shown to
be by the census of 1900 it is hard
to say, but it is not likely it will cross
the Mississippi. There has been an in
crease in the population of what was
termed the "far West," but it has
.hardly been asjargc proportionately
during the past ten years as it was
during the previous decade.
It is not known whether the Puerto
Iiicans and Filipinos nre to be taken
into account in determiner the new I
. ...i ... n i e '
CCnlcr; if they die, It Will be found
, .
to be considerably to the southwest
Of the point named 111 1890. But
, , . .
tlie Westward movement in 1000 IS
not likely to be as ren!)' pronounced ,
us that shown by the center of popu
lation in 1910. Tor the next ten
years the largo growth of tho United
States is to be on the Pacific coast '
nnd ut the end of that time it is like-
Jy (hat the center of population will
be found to be in that section which
only few years ogo was described
as 'twihl and woolly." Spokcsman
Eeview. Tbe Ea8tbs8 recently suffered from
hot spell. While the Pacific North
west has been soaked with too much
rain tbo East lias had too much heat.
Tbo beat in tbe big cities in tbe At
lantic states recently bas been so in
tense tbat number of persons have
been driven to suicide and madness.
Tbose wbo are desf ondont or ilow
piriled lose all hopo in an atmo
sphtre that taps tbe vitality. Weak
minds become unbalanced under the
added strain of physical suffering.
While it is estimated that the in
crease of population in the United
States has been about twenty-three
per cent during the past nine years,
statistics indicate that the increase in
the output of industry for the same
period lias been about forty-two per
cent. And it is to be remembered
that most of this increase has taken
place since 18UG. The prowling and
howling of all the world's malcon
tents cannot malic much impression
against such a fact as this.

It may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the riht to
publicly recommend any of tho various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it a duty to say a good word for
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family tor
twenty years ami have always found it
reliable. Inlmany cases a dose of this
t . . . m I
icnicu, nuum ac. .iui.ia ui cuuciuig
while a physician is awaited. We do
not believe in depending implicitlv on
any medicine for a cure, but we do
believe tnat if a bottle of Chamberlain's
Diarrhoea Remedy was kept on hand
and administered at the inception of an
attack, much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required. At
least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For sale

"DeWitt's Littie Jariy Risers did me
more good than all blood medicines and
other pills," writes Geo. H. Jacobs, of
Thompson, Conn. Prompt, pleasant,
never gripe, they cure constipation,
arouse the torpid liver to action nnd
give yon clean blood, steady nerves, a
clear brain and a healthy appetite.
