Oscar l.. Overholtzer, who has been
appointed census enumeration for Leroy
township, including Audubon, is the
son of j. A. Overholtzer and twenty
years old. lie is bright young man,
a good scholar and in every way com.
petent to perform the task. We are
informed that he was candidate for
the township outside of Audubon only,
but the supervisor preserved the town
ship In one district, although two vet.
Grams and a son of a veteran had ap-
piled for the town appointment. The
junior Oyerholtzer has struck an Ell
gait, and will make the enumeration
properly.

a back number.
The doctors and others are in receipt |
of numerous inquiries from the census |
department with relation to statistics, |
vital and otherwise. These inquiries
have been frequent since the first Of |
the year, but burden the mails more re-
Gently. They demurely state that the
department Is unable to offer compen-
sation, but that replies will be received
with thanks. This Office has been re-
quested to publish matter which would
fill about three columns, on the same
basis of remuneration. There Is deep
founded conviction that the govern.
ment is much more able to pay for this
service than are individuals to perform |
1t gratuitously.
Your business, public and private, is
the business of the census enumerator.
Tell him everything, because he must
know. You must tell him your sex,
color, whether single or married, age,
constitutional frailtics, and whether
Chinese, Japanese or Indian, mulatto,
quadr0on or octoroon. But in the
name of the thousands of manageable
young women we protest against com
pelling them to divulge their age. For
centuries this secrecy has been a con
coded privilege, and we do not believe
the revered custom should be dishonor.

Let the sweet old maid preserve this
gratifying uncertainty. Let the con-
undrum remain unsolyed.
Forty-two thousand enumerat0rs
will commence the work of taking the
census next Monday morning. The
questions to be asked farmers compre-
bend the business of 1889, rather than
1880, and each man will be required TO
state the amount of each cereal raised
acreage, crop and value, the number of
head of live stock, poultry, etc, fruits,
and the number of acres devoted TO
each. If each person will enumerate
these items at his leisure and be pre-
pared to unbosom himself to the emu
merator, the work will be greatly facili-
tated. An important part of the work
will be the compilation of military sta
tistics, and to this end 1t is recommend
ed that all veterans make record of
their service and leave at the home in
the event of their absence when the
enumeration calls. Without their
hearty cooperation the best results
cannot be obtained.
