OUR TEN YEAR CENSUS.
1t Has to BE Taken This Year and None +
Needed.


This is the year when the state beard
of agriculture is required by law to COM
pile the decennial census, and Secretary
Coburn will ask the Legislature for an
appropriation to pay for the extra clerks
necessary to compile the census.
Major Sims is the only living ex-secre-
tary who went drought with this work.
That was in 1885, when there were but
eighty-five organized counties in the
state. Major Sims estimated that the
clerk hire would cost 81, 300 year, aud
the legislature made an appropr. alton
for that amount, but when the work was
done, Major Sims had paid 2.10O out of
his own pocket, in addition to the amount
appropriated. for clerk hire.
Secretary Coburn thinks he can COM
pile the census this year from the 105
counties, if the legislature will allow him
$4,000 for that purpose, which would be
but $500 more than was expended on the
work ten years ago.
Major Sims was afterwards REIN bursed
by the legislature for his expenditure of
81, 100.

His Views on Both Parties.
LONDON, Feb. 2-The Times in its
financial article this morning says: "The
financial negotiations with leading Lon
don houses for the placing of the pro-
posed American loan are without result
as yet Much depends upon the price
the United States is ready to accept.
If the bonds are not specifically paya-
BILE in gold, probably 81 per cent
will be asked, the additional
half per cent representing the considera-
ton of the risk that the government
might be unable to redeem the bonds
with gold.
This is a contingency which the posi-
ton of the treasury and the attitude of a
powerful section of the senate make it
foolish to disregard. There is no ques-
ton that the government will pay in
gold if it can. Those who wish well TO
America, must have patience and faith

force his views on both the great parties

OMAHA, Neh., Feb. 2.-The Omaha
mill men claim to have just found that
they have been swindled by a shrewd
device of a cereal mill here. The mill is
alleged to have been grinding up corn
cobs and selling them for bran. This
sort of bran costs $500 per carload, while
the real bran costs $500.
The milkmen have been puzzled by
the small amount of milk produced by
their COWS since this bran was placed on

New HAVEN, Aug. 23.-Ex-Governor
Luzon b. Morris was found unconscious
on the floor of his office by caller yester-
day morning. How long the ex-governor
had been in that condition is not known.
The indications are that he was stricken
while reading his morning paper. Efforts
made to bring Mr.. Morris to conscious
ness failed, and 2:30 it was decided that
the attack was one of acute apoplexy.
From this time the pulse grew weaker
and the ex-governor died at exactly 3
o'clock. Mr.. Morris had been complain
ing of distress for a few days past, but.
attributed it to indigestion.
