It is learned from the census bureau that the scarcity of appilcations for the positions of enumerators s giving the cen- sus department some concern, as only a few weeks remain before the date for olos- ing the consideration of applications. It will be impossible generally to extend the application time limit) The direc of the census therefore urges all persons desiring places as enum- erators to make application as quickly as possible. No applications at all have been received from some portions of the Second Ne- braska district, of which Charles L. Saun- ders Is the big boss, but it Is expected that this deficiency wlll be overcome be- fore the date of the close of the appli- cation limit, January 25. About 68,000 cLumerators will be required throughout the entire country. Each will work In his own locality Any competent | person 1a entitled to apply for this position and will be fairly considered for appofnt- ment. At the meeting of the census superintend- ents held in Omaha yesterday in which practically ali the Missourl valley states were represented, the same story of the| scarcity of applications was given from all | the districts. The enumerators will earn about $60 each. thelr work within thirty and those cities of 5,000 and population at the preceding census within two weeks from April 15, 1910. FUNERAL FOLLOWS REPLEVIN G.

Wade Obee has been awarded the jcb of burying the body of Louls Harper, (he colored man, who drank carbolie acid. The grave did not open for its dead, howe until courts of law had been brought Into play ! Coroner Heatey, following his custom as a county officlal, took possession of the body for the purpose of holding the in- quest. All this happened on the last day of the year, shortly after Harper dramati- cally ended his life by raising a vial of poison to his lips and exclaiming, “Good- bye; this will finish me.” When Undertaker Obee called for (he body of the suicide the coroner refused 10 surrender it unless notice was forthcoming from relatives of the dead man. There were rumors afloat, too, that Harper had killed himself because his wife deser.ed him a year ago. Undertakers Obee and Heafey could not agree, so the colored embalmer obtained a writ of replevin from the court end placad the Instrument In the hands of Constablo J. A. Woods.

It was quite a large audience that faced the frosty countenance of the January night, and the equally forbidding and aus- tere appearance of the Omaha Auditorium, in ‘order to pay respects to Mme. Schu- mann-Heink, the well known operatic contralto. The gallery was filled in fr quent spots, and made a& generally good showing. The lower floor was two-thirds | occupied and. the wit, beauty, culture and wealth of the local aristocrary was in evi- dence very completely and addéd lustre to the scene. The audience was enthusiastic and heart- tly welcomed the good things, as well as those which were of lesser import. The greatest applause of the evening wa at the end of the “Daanza,” a song by Mr. Chadwick of Boston, an eminent American musical luminary. This applause was duc to the very original ending of the song, in which Mme. Schumann-Heink's humorous singing of the lines "By Inez I was taught' called forth unmitigated merriment. The third group of songs, the German Lieder group, songs by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Welngartner, Strauss, Steln, Hil- dach, were probably given the most gener- ous expression of thanks and appreclation on the part of the audience to the singer. In these the great contralto was at her best. Many are called to sing these great German Lieder, but few are chosen. Mme. Schumann-Helnk is one of the chosen. Per- haps, on the occasion of her next visit, she may elect to give more of those, too tamiliar blossoms, and give the great tone- poets a chance for a more extensive ac- quaintance. Robert Franz wrote a few beautiful things, too, at least a few. It was an unmixed pleasure to hear the encore songs which the singer generously added to the evening's contribution, and they were completely characteristic of the singer in her actual living personality. The “Waltraute” music from the “Twi- light of the Gods" (Goetterdaemmerung) by Richard Wagner, gave an opportunity to hear some wonderful tone-qualities and in this Mme. Schumann-Helnk did some of her best work, and when this artist s at her best, where is her equal in that direc- tion? The wonderful weaving and inter- weaving of leit motiv with leit motiv the suggestions of the Spear, Walhalla, Distress of the Gods, Anger of Wotan, etc, which surround this wonderful ap- peal of Brunnhilde's sister, neces. sarilly were too much in the - back- sround for distinct hearing, as a plano ls atter all only & plano, and the Auditorium is & vast space. Excepting the lact of car- rying power, owing undoubtedly to the just-mentioned vastness, ~ the accompani- ments were played with a true spirit of artiste comprehension and musiclanly adaptability by Mrs. Katherine Hoffman, The five songs in English were not the best that could have been chosen and it seemed strange that with a group of five American songs, or rather, songs by Amer- \can| composers, MacDowell was not repre- sented. The Omaha audlences will, probably with thelr usual good grace, take a kindly sug- gestion from a musical reviewer, and that |18 to the effect that a little consideration will probably prevent the too-sudden burst of applause at the end of the singing, in a good song; some of the best songs have an instrumental ending which 1s & real part and portion of the song. These were spolled last night {n several instances by the 1o hasty plaudits of enthusiastic voice- lovers. The accompanist deserves as much courtesy as the singer. K. POLICE HOLD CHICAGO GIR Anna Saultee Arrested on Complaint of Detective Working for Jewish Organisation: Anna Saultee, 21 vears old, is held at the police station pending the arrival of an officer from Chicago.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT STARTED Sum of $50,000 Asked in D Court for Blind and Paralytic Little Boy. rict The Glencoe mills is being sued for $50,- 000 in district court by Francis Cottey as the next friend of Charles W. Cottey, a boy of 10 years. The child 1s blind and paralyzed in his lower limbs as the re- sult of an accldent which happened two years ago. A driver for the Glencoe mills had a light wagon attached to the one he was driving and the Cottey boy, running out, seated himself on the tongue of the second wagon. When the driver called, “Get out of there,” the child,. startled, fell under the wheels and, agcording to the petition, was terribly injured. =4 Our Letter Box Oontributions on Timely Bubjeths, Not Bxeesding Two Hundred Words, Are Iuvited from Our Readérs.

For the informatfon of the public I wish to state that never, at any time, was a protest. Hied against the so-called consolidation of ‘ho Omaha and Winnebago agencles until we had learned.the true and correct nature of the plan, and the opposition was never Jdae to any misunderstanding of the part of the whites or Indlans“in Thurston county: Never at any time did any representatiye of the Walthill Commercial club glve Nls “hearty and unqualified endorsement" 10 Mr. Abbott's present plan. Never, at at any time, could Mr. ANbOtt or any of the departmental representatives find a supporter of his new plan of con- ducting the affairs of the Omaha Ifdians in Walthill or on the Omaha reservation. If necessary these statements can bé en- larged upon considerably. We feel that in some _instances the Omaha-Winfiebagy agencf®controversy has not been placed Le fore the public correctly. Up to the present time we have refralned from giving say wide publieity to our side of this matter, desiring first to place all the facts beforo the office of Indlan affairs for its consid- eration. However, unless,justice is done o the Omaha Indlans shortly we will f3el compelled to give the true facts publica- tion. Very truly yours, v ’ WALTHILL COMMERCIAL CLUB. NOAH TAYLOR, President.
