TBE TWELFTH CENSUS
Congress Preparing For the
Next Counting of Noses.
/ j!
1 CHANCE FOR THE SPOILSMEN.
The Census Bureau la Not Under the Civil
Service Rules and Affords a Convenient
Asylum For Political Hacks—Obstacles
to the Whalers* Relief Expedition.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—[Special.]—In e
little more than two years the twelfth cen
sus of the United Stateswill be taken, and
congress is already making preparations
for it. It has been decided that the em
ployees of the census bureau shall not be
selected through civil service competitive
examination. The friends of civil service
reform were anxious to have the merit
system applied to this important work,
but they knew it would be useless to make
the effort. Such a large part of all the
government employment is already undei
the civil service that very little is left foi
the spoilsmen and politicians, anti these
gentlemen have been waiting for the cen
sus work to find places for their bench
men. In taking the last census some 3.00 C
or 4,000 persons were employed here in
Washington alone, and they were appoint
ed through political influence. Although
the character of the men who made the
census enumerations out in the country
appears to have been pretty good, such
was not the case in the office of the bureau
here. It is within the mark to say that
the census cost $1,000,000 or perhaps $2,-
000,000 more than it would have cost if
the merit system had been adopted in hir
ing clerks here.
Eleventh Census Scandals.
The bureau was made a sort of hospital
for the poor relatives of senators, con
gressmen and others possessing influence.
Men were employed at good salaries irre
spective of t.heir usefulness. Women were
given places to please their patrons and
friends in f official life, and if all the scan
dals that lurked underneath . the roof of
the census office had been laid bare the
good public would have had a great shock.
The eleventh census cost the government
About $11,500,000, which in the opinion of
experts is several millions more than is
necessary to secure the proper result.
One reform which congress seems de
termined to make is to limit the number
of subjects which the census shall inves
tigate. In taking the eleventh census
pretty much every sort of inquiry known
to the investigator of industrial and social
conditions was made, and often at an ex
pense wholly out of proportion to the
value of the material secured. The primary
and constitutional purpose of a census is
to ascertain the population of the country, i
and while many other things of impor- I
tance may properly be inquired into the j
feeling is now very strong in congress
that there should be a limit upon the -
number of special inquiries made. Some ;
of the statistics gathered at great expense ■
in the last census have not even yet been .
published, though it is nearly tinrti for a
new enumeration. Senator Carter, chair
man of the census committee, pertinently
suggests that statistics 8 or 10 years old
cannot have much value.
Limitations of Reindeers.
In the opinion of competent authorities
the government is making a mistake in
depending upon reindeer as the motive
power for the relief expeditions which are
being sent out to succor the crews of whal
ing ships caught in the ice to the north of
Alaska and the miners on the Yukon
river. The reindeer is a good draft ani
mal when the conditions are just right,
but he is a queer beast in that he balks at
the slightest provocation. He is contrary,
prankish and ugly. When he has a fit, he
is difficult to control. He may go along
for a day or two all right, and then he
will turn and give so much trouble that
only native drivers can do anything with
him. The reindeer has an unfortunate
habit of running away at night. Twenty
years or more ago Baron Nordenskiold of
Sweden took a herd of reindeer to north
Spitsbergen and wintered there, intend
ing to start with a sledge expedition over .
the ocean ice toward the north pole dur
ing the next spring. But one stormy |
night all his deer escaped to the mountains
and none of them was ever recaptured. I
This is a risk which the relief party that
is now on the way to Alaska in the Bear
will have to run. If they succeed in land
ing their supplies and getting away on
their long journey to Point Barrow with
their reindeer herd, the first thing they
know their animals may conclude to stam
pede to the mountains. If this happens,
the expedition will be ruined. Another
difficulty with reindeer is that they can
not live on the country unless grass or
moss can bo found, and it is difficult to
find grass and moss in winter when the
snow is so deep. Practically all the prov
ender will have to be taken along, and as
a reindeer must have four or five pounds
of food per day it is easy to see that he
Will soon eat up all he can draw.
Advantages of Dog Power.
With dogs as the motive power there is
the advantage of being able to feed them
whatever can be shot —bear, walrus, seal,
foxes, anything. If worst comes to worst,
dog can be fed to dog. In case of emer
gency a dog can be kept alive and in har
ness on less than a pound of food per day,
and even with this small ration be will give
good work. The experienced men here

They Cure Stomach Troubles and Indiges
tion Anyway, Whether You Have Faith in
Them or Not. %
AU physicians agree that the ele
ment of faitb has a great deal to do in
the care of disease
Firm belief and confidence in a fam
ily physician or the same confidence
and faith in a patent medicine
have prodace remarkable cares In all
ages.
This is especially true in nervous
troubles and no field offers so prolific
a harvest for the quack and charlatan
as the diseases arising from a weak or
run down nervous system.
Nevertheless, the most common of
all diseases, indigestion and stomach
troubles, which in turn cause nervous
diseases, heart troubles, consumption
and loss of flesh, requires something
besides faith to cure.
Mere faitb will not digest yoar food
for you, will not give yoa an appetite,
will not increase your flesh and
strengthen your nerves and heart, but,
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will do
'these things, because they are com
posed of the elements of digestion,
they contain the juices, acids and
pepstones necessary to the digestion
and assimilation of all wholesome
food.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets will di
gest food if placed in a jar or bottle in
water heated to 98 degrees, and they
will do it much more effectively when
taken into the stomach after meals,
whether you have faith that they will
or not.
They invigorate the stomach, make
pure blood and strong nerves, in the
only way that nature can do it, and
that is, from plenty of wholesome
food well digested. It is not what we
eat, but what we digest that does us
good.

these two relief expeditions.
There is also doubt as to the advisability
of sending the expedition toward Point
Barrow to relieve the whaling crews. A
well known arctic traveler said today it
would be easier to reach the north pole in
the spring, as Lieutenant Peary proposes
to reach it. than to take a sledge expedi
tion from St. Michael’s to Point Barrow.
If the crews of the imprisoned whaling
ships have not enough food to last them
through the winter, about which there is
some doubt, they can easily save them
selves by marching south along the coast
till they reach the natives and the mission
stations. It is much easier for them to
march south with little to carry than for
a relief expedition, heavily laden with
stores, to go north to them. Besides, if
the whalers took the matter in hand early
enough they could have started on their
southern journey as early as last Septem
ber, while the relief expedition will not be
able to set out overland till about Jan. 1
or in the dead of the dark arctic winter.

CLAY AND HIS GTRL WIFE.
Aged General's Younu Bride at the
Home of Her Brother.
Valley View, Ky., Dec. 21.—Gen
eral Cassius M. Clay’s girl wife Dora is
still here at the home of her brother,
Clell Richardson. So is Willie Bryant,
the young friend of Clell, who recently
made an unsuccessful attempt at sui
cide because, it is said, of his love for
Dora. Willie continues to buy her
candy and other things she wants with
the money General Olay sends her.
Eldred Haden, the young merchant,
accused by Clell Richardson of trying
to bribe him to keep Dora away from
Whitehall, is furious over Oleh’s
charges. He thinks Olell has been put
up to making these charges in order to
injure him in his business. *
Dora seems less anxious to return to
the general than she did a week ago.

K*i«er Murdered »*le Wife.
Norristown. Pa, Dec. 2L The
hearing of James A Clemmer and Eliz
abeth K. DeKalb, the two alleged ac
complices of Charles O. Kaiser, in the
murder of his wife, Emma P. Kaiser,
on Oct. 28, 1896, took place before Mag
istrate Leuhardt. Mrs. Kaiser wa* shot
while riding with her husband on a
lonely roan near here. The alleged mo
tive of the crime was the desire to se
cure SIO,OOO insurance on her life.
Kaiser has been sentenced to death for
the murder.
Miss DeKalb, the notorious "Woman
in Black,” went on the stand and told
the story of her life ana the plans of
the conspiracy. Her story was of a
startling nature and most damaging to
Clemmer. She told of a plan which
Clemmer and Kaiser had .-greed upon
for getting Mrs. Kaiser out of the way.
This was to chloroform the woman and
then set fire to the bed. This plan,
she said, was not carried out, because
Kaiser lost his nerve, Miss DeKalb
told of several carriage rides she had
with Mrs. Kaiser, the majority of which
were planned by Cietnmer.
Her description of the drive which
ended in murder was minute and was
attentively listened to. It is believed
the commonwealth will allow her to
enter a plea of accessory after the fact.
It is said to be impossible to convict
Clemmer without Miss DeKalb’s evi
dence, hence the abandonment of the
original intention to prosecute both as
principals.

Story to Mff ct Hint >->teri,otra’i Wife
Will Be Snubbed in Spain.
Washington, Dec. 21.—Stories have
been current recently that ihe mission
of the new French ambassador at Mad
rid, M. Paternotre, who recently closed
his service here, would be considerably
embarrassed from the fact that he had
married mi American girl. It is stated,
however, that when a similar story
gained circulation in Madrid a few
weeks ago, it was promptly and with
apparent authority denied.
The report, which was originally
printed in a French newspaper, was
copied in Madrid. Thereupon The
Epoca, the most conservative paper in
Madrid, the editor being the dean of
the journalistic community, took un
the matter and gave assurance that the
American wife of the French ambas
sador would be received with every
mark of consideration. It instanced as
a similar case that of the wife of the
Marquis Apezteguia, who was formerly
Miss Vincent of New York, and as wife
of the well known Spanish leader, has
been made a Spanish grandee and a
close associate of the queen.
These American wives, the Epoca as
serted, in no way shared the sentiment
of certain radical elements in America
favorable to the Cuban insurgents and
they would be shown every mark of of
ficial and social favor.

just as much as when I was a boy,
though perhaps in a different way.
But I know that it is the same Youth’s
Companion with which I grew up,
for my boys and girls like it as well as
ever I did. It is a good paper to grow
up with.”
The Youth’s Companion will con

stories of absorbing interest, and the
tales of adventure. The various de
