It will now be his duty to recommend consus enum- erators for tiis large district, and the prob- ability is that they will umber between four and five hundred. Thoy will be ap- pointed by the general superintendent of the ceusus, Geueral Robert R. Porter, upon the recomwendation of Cap- talo daght, uader certain conditions 1013 Broadway | and in compliance with the intructions from the superintendent and the requirements of thelaw. The present census act differs from that of 1870 in the addition of certain specified features. These consist, first, in extending the classification of the colored populution so as to distinguish petween blacks, mulattoes, quadroons and octoroons; socond, 1n the enumeration of a special schedule of t names of organ lons and length of service of all persons who served in the army, navy or marine corps of the | States during the war of the rebel ud the widows of soldicrs, safiors or the collection of statis. tics of recorded indebtedness of private cor- porations d Indlviduals, The law pro- vides that in the formation of districts the amoant of territory assigned to any ono enumerator shall not exceed 4,000 inhabit ants, according to estimates based on the tenth census, In cities of over 10,000 by the last census, whore the law requires the enumeration to be completed within two wecks, the enumeration districts may com- prise an estimated population of from 2 000 to 2,000, The law does not require that every enumerator shall be employed all the time allowed by law, but the instructions suggest that the more guickly the census is taken the better it will be taken, In the important matter of appointment of enumerators Captain Hight will be obliged to follow specific instructions, which are, i brief, that each person selected for each sub-. division shall b a resident thercof, and shall be selected solely with refy nce tod fitness, and without reference to political afiliations, “provided, that in the appointment prefor- ence shall in all cases, be given to properly qualified persons honoranly discharged from the military or naval service of the United States residing in toeir respective districts Under these provisions the work will about all be done by old soldiers, In cities like Counci! Bluffs and Des Moines two enumerators will be required for each ward, und one for each township in the couuties.! I'he work commences on Junc 2, and must be all completed before July 1. - W, W.

The school election yesterday was rdther tawe compared with the one the week be- fore, yet there was sufficient interest mani- fested to cause the polling of a very large vote. Theonly contest was between Messrs. Waite and Elwell, as Lawson was not in the race, and Mr. Wells was not scratched at all. There were several who voted the citi- zens’ ticket who substituted Elwell's name for Waito, but there were many more who voted the democratic ticket and scratched Lawson for Wells. The only effort was to defeat Lawson, and when that was assured cverybody was apparently satisfied. The only contest was made in the Second ward, where several challengers were at work during the day, but there were very few illegal voters who tried to deposit a ballot. 1t was very quiet and orderly around all the polling places, and excent in their immediate vicinity there was no indication that an elec- tion was in progress. The returns came in early and but little time was required to count” the vote on ac- count of the little scratching that was done. st Ward—Citizens ticket: Wells 332, Waite 508, Democratic ticket: Elwell 184, Lawson 120.

Some of the readers of Tug Bre were yesterday morning surprised at fluding folded in their paper the democratic ticket. “The well-known policy of Tig Bee in sup- norting the citizens’ candidato for the school board seemed bardly consistent with this kind of a scattering of democratic tickots. It appears that ono of the sons of Luwson, the democratic nominee, took advantage of his position as manager of tho carricrs at taat early hous fn the morning, and haa the papers thus paclied at the Council Bluffs oftice. It 18 evident that the young Law- son is rather of a chip, and the old block doubtless was not far away. The ouly harm_done by the boyish trick was to the beardless politician himself, who will uow hunt for some new job. It seems that the scheme wus not coufined to Tiie BEE, as not only young Lawson but several oth the employ of the boy’s father were en in a conspiracy to float the tickets, “Taking advantage of his position on the school board, the elder Lawson required the janitcrs of some of tho school buildings to turn out at an early hour for ths purpose. They were givon tickets and ordered to waylay the carriers of other morning papers as they left their various ofices, and bribe them to distributo the tickets with their papers. The p.an worked in nearly every iustance, und the rogular newsboys wero also included in the scheme. It simply shows what desperate chances Lawson was willing to take to be re-oleoted, and the cit- izens of the Bluffs may well congratulate themselves because when tho votes were counted the individual who would stoop to such despicable work was overwhelmingly snowed under, LR Dross Making.

The city council met in special session lust night in the hopo of closing up so far as pos- sidle the busiuess of the old council prepar- atory of turniog over the affairs of the city tothe new sdwinistration. Only routine work was done during the first part of the session, and that wus confined to the reading and ullowiog of the bils left over from last meeting, Alderman Everett read a report from the city briage inspector concerning the dan- Kgerous conaition of the bridge over Indian creck on North Second streot, that the ridge was in a very uusafe condition and recommended that it be closed immediately for repairs Aldcrman Everett moved thut the street supervisor be instructed to stop traftic over the structure this moraing wnd employ an expert to examine it, Carried, and the briage ordered closed.

Mr. Helmick, who told his story of the shooting of Palmer. His narration was in accordance with defense as already outlined in Tne tSge. He had been active in the suppression of sa- loons in Neola. Numerous threats against him had reached his ears, among which was one that be was to be attacked when -his family was away from home. He had been warned that it he did not keep still he would be made a second Haddock. On Sawur- day night before the shooting he was alone in the house, his family being in aylor county. He stepped out of his house about 10 o'clock and was assailed by a shower of eggs. He yolled at the egg throwers, who ran away, down the street. ‘The following night, August 19, he was out in the country attending a weddirg. Returning oo horseback about i0o'clock, horse shied as he entered the ailey in the rear of his barn. As he neared the barn he noticed two forms moving about in the dark- ness inside and he called to them, *Who are you? What are you doingin my barn?” Re- ceiving no answer he ugain shouted, ‘‘Get out of my barn.” He received no other re- ply than amissile, which struck him violently on the shoulder. He did not know at the time what the missile was, but it proved afterwards to have been an egg. The min- ister at once drew his revolver and fired. His horse startled ana ran up the alley, ‘The defendant testified that he did not know who the parties were atthe time. It was too dark for him to distinguish per- sons, thouch only eight feot away.

New Youk, March 10.—~The most exciting incident on Wall street for some time oc~ curred today when the big New York and Philadelphia pool in Reading spryng a cor- ner on the shorts and compelled them to pay 2 per cent for the use of stock for one day. The pool, which had its headquarters in Wormsers' office, is said to have been dissat- od with tne resuits of its operations last week, and after a disagreement today sud- denly transferred its sccounts from Worm- sers to Moore & Schley. Then they notifiea Wormsers w0 deliver all pool stock to Moore & Schley. At the same time Moore & Schley and all other firms associated with the pool, called in ull the stock loaned thew and as a result the Wormsers, who were said to need 80,000 shares of stock to deliver to the pool in ud- dition to being short as much more on their own account, had to climb with the bear traders aud the clique that had put out short lines.

George Nicho'son’s Forgiveness for Her Murderous Husband. AFTER HE TRIED, TO KILL HER. More Candidat g Judgeshy for the Pollco Atese Political Gos- 8ip — Z mmerman Gots a Good Dose. The Women Always Weaken, The old story was repeated yesterday and a woman's forgiving nature got the upper hand and allowed a brutal hustand to go frec of punishment, At 2 o'clock Sunday morning George Nicholson’s wife walked into the police sta- tion alone and unattended and asked that an officer be sent to her home to arrest her hus- band. According to her story he was raising Cain generally and had threatened to kili the entire household. Oicers Hughes and Mon- tague went to tho place, which is down on the eastern bottoms near the Burlington tracks, There N rlaon was found sitting by tte fira complacently SmoOKINg o cigar. He went with the ofticers without a murmur, and at Mrs. Nicholson's request a charge of |l|slnult with intent to kill was placed agaiust him, When the case was called yesterday Nicholson failed to appear but his wife wag on hand. Although he had attempted to take her lifo Saturday night she wanted to bave the case against him dismi; i by paying the costs, As her testimony would be néces- sary to convict Nicholson Judge King could do nothing else but comply with ber request. And the next time Nicholson ussaults his wife the story will probably be repeated. More Folitical Whispers, “You didn’t mention all the political as- pirants Sunday morning, Mr. Bee man,” said o ward worker yesterday. There are mor3 men in the field for police judge than King, and he won’t have a walk-away in the convention.” Pressed for information the ward worker stated that H. H. Raven had a desira to wear the ermine in South Omaha's police court room for the next two years and would make a fight for the democratic nomination Failing in that he would try to get the place through a citizen’s ticket that is supposed to be in preparation, Ex-Judee E.

The vicket outlined Sunday in Tue Bee seems to ebe the wen- erally accepted one among the democrats and is supposed to go through without any preliminary boom or fuss. All elements con- cede that o short campaign, not exceeding a week, will be best, but just the same a pile of preliminary worls will be done by the pol- iticians during the next two weeks. The Election Proclamation. 1t 18 getting around to the time when the prociamation cailing the city election will have to be publishea and Mayor Sloane is busy looking up some legal points involved betore he issues it. The school boara ques- tion is the main oue, and the mayor wants to be thoroughly satistied, before the call is made, whether the board is to consist of nine or six members after April 1. On this point there is a difference of opinion among local legal lights, some contending that Superin- tendent Lane is wrong in his construction of the school law as applied to cities of the first class. When the question 18 settled to Mayor Sloan’s satisfaction the election proc- lamation will be forthcoming. Patrick Crowe's Sanity. The belief that has gained ground in Chi- cago in regard to the mental condition of Patrick Crowe is ghared by mostof the South Omaha people who were intimate with bim. Crowe is the man whose murderous exploits were related in Saturaay’'s Bee. While residing here Crowe was not a arink- ing man, but would at times indulge in the most irvational outbursts of temper that could not be accounted for in a man of sane mind. Since reading the accounts of his shooting scrape in Chicago his South Omana friends are more convinced that his mind has been more or less unbalanced for some time. Goes Back to Jail. A week ago Saturday night George Zim- merman got into a fight at the Keystone hotel saloon and received a knife wound in in the back. A trio of the participants were arrested and Zimmerman was fined and sent to'the county jail to board it out. Saturday ho was released and straightway got into another ruwpus which led to hus arrest. He visited the New York cigar store and or- dered some beer from the landlady, for which he refused to pay. He accompanied his refusal by kicking out a panel of a door. He was assesscd $10 and costs abd will have a chance for the next two wecks to ponder over his evil ways in the county jail.
