HAVE WE 10000?
Two Census Enumerators Complete
Their Work.

Two Of the census enumerators have
completed their work, those in the
First and Third wards. While the
enumerators are probably not per-
mitted by the law to give the results
of their work, still it Is understood
that Mr.. Wakefield found about 1,s40
names in the First ward, and Mr..
Tompkins about 1,570 in the Third
ward. This is supposed to be an in
crease of about $50 in the First ward
and 25 in the Third, but there isnoth-
ing definite with which to compare
the returns, as the ward limits have
been changed since the last census,
and two wards added.
