THE DAY AT LINOoLz


rapidly. Superintendent Lane yester-
day morning found that he had paid out
30 far S32, ,000 This includes payment
on blsnks and stationary, the payment
of all but about twenty of the enumera-
tors, expressage and some of the office
expenses, leaving him about $1,000 with
which to meet his copying and other
Office expenses. The superintendent
thinks he will have plenty to entirely
complete the work by being somewhat
economical. The population of Nebrasks
City is shown by the enumeration to be
5.597.
The stste militia will be ordered into
camp four days this year, which will
probably be soon after the state fair, and
1t Is thought the camping ground will be
in the vicinity of Lincoln.
An error has been circulate in regard
to the enumeration In Fillmore county,
which was given out as 10, 442, while 1t il
13,450, giving 1t an increase over the
census OF lSoU OF o,UlU.
The demand for notary public commits
slons Is again assuming large proportions
The proof on the journals of the last
legislature will all be In by Friday of
this week, and 1t Is thought the journals
will be completed and ready for dlstrlbu-
tion by the first of August.
The tower ON which will rest the dome
of the new capitol is now up to the third
story and the work is still progressing.
The citizens in the vicinity of crete
were considerably exercised few days
since over the elopement of Miss Emma
Lowe, daughter of prominent farmer,
with a carpenter named Cole. The mat
ter has been kept very quiet so far.
j. G. Bickle, one of the first settlers of
Saline county, has gone crazy within the
past few days, and Is kept under guard
continually. 1t is feared he will have to
be brought to the asylum.
Gen. John A. Logan has been invited
and is expected to deliver the oration on
next Fourth of July on the assembly
grounds at Crete, and an effort will be
made to make 1t a gala day for all the old
soldiers In this state.
The balance of the upappraised school
lands in Antelope county, consisting of
twenty-four gectlons have been ordered
appraised.
New difficulties are ariaing under the
new school law, and one of the questions,
which seems likely to give o large amount
of trouble and which the officers seem to
De in doubt about, is whether party
who has leased school lands prior to the
new law can prove up or purchase under
the law which his lease was taken or
whether he must prove up under the new
law.
There will soon be another mandamus
served on the auditor, as he has refused
to pay the county treasurers the fees on
school and university lands under the
law of 1873. AS the new law of 1879 makes
no provision for the payment of any
commission on thess lands, it Is quite
likely the supreme court will uphold him
in his refusal, as 1t did In regard to the
university funds. 1t will be saving to
the state of about $4,000.
The state auditor, FL. A. Bsbcock,
will visit Omaha to-day.
@. B. Allen, insurance clerk In the
Office, goes to Omaha tomorrow,
on business.
