CENSUS EHUNERATORS.
TEEY WILL COMMENCE THEIR
DUTIES THIS MORNING.
Appointees of the Board of Educa-
ton Will Make a House-to-hous
Canvass and Complete It By
July so.

The % census enumerators appointed
by the board of education will COM
mence their duties this morning. A
house-to-h house canvass will be made
to ascertain the number, residence, etc,
of children of school age in the city,
and the enumeration must be COM
pleted before the 30th inst. The EMU
merators were called together yester-
day afternoon in the board of education
session room by Clerk Mcreton, who
instructed them as to their duties and
supplied them with the necessary
blanks. The census will be taken by
blocks, so that whenever it is desired,
the center or centers of school popu-
lation may be determined. Clerk More
ton expressed the hope that parents
would courteousiy receive the enumer-
ators, and. whenever practicable, in
vite them indoors to a seat for writing
down the required data. 1t is espe-
cially desired that the name of every
boy or girl between the ages of and
Is years, residing in the city, be en-
rolled. The advantage of this is APP
parent when it is known that the tax
payers of the city annually pay over
100000 in taxes to the state school
fund, and the city schools receive back
from this fund less than half of this
sum. The state school fund is dis
bursed on a basis of school population,
and, the amount being approximately
81 per capita yearly, it behooves every
person interested to see to it that a
full enumeration of the children of
school age is made
THE COUNTY CENSUS.
The enumeration in the school census
in the districts of the county outside
of the city is under way and will be
completed by Monday. County School
Superintendent Van Colt is likewise
anxious that, for the financial benefit
of the schools, the census in his domain
be full and complete The superin-
tendent also desires that trustees and
enumerators make prompt returns to

CAPTAIN DODGE ALL RIGHT.
Gallant Officer of the Twenty fourth
Not Wounded

The happy news that Captain Dodge
of the Twenty-fourth infantry is well
and active in the Santiago campaign
was received at Fort Douglas yester-
day.
Captain Dodge was among the Off
GERS of the Twenty-fourth who was re-
ported wounded in the battle before
Santiago, but the report has never been
confirmed. Yesterday Mrs. Brett, wife
of Captain Brett, who was wounded
and is now in the hospital at Tampa,
wired her husband, asking for partic-
ulars concerning Captain Dodge. A re-
ply soon came saying Captain Dodge
was alive and well and as active in the
campaign against the Spaniards as
when the operations began. The news
was, of course. hailed with the greatest
delight, especially by Mrs. Dodge, who
has been anxiously awaiting authentic
news concerning her husbands condi-

COLD WATER ENGINES.
a New Motive Power, the Invention
of a Salt Lake Genius.

of a Salt Lake Genius.
Utah is not at all behind her sister
states in the possession of inventive ge-
MUS, and The Herald is informed that
a resident of salt Lake has brought
out an invention which promises to
revolutioniZe the question of motive
power. the Invention being in the ma
ture of a cold water engine, which, if
as successful as claimed, will do away
entirely with fuel or water in the gen.
Grafton of power, whether electrical or
otherwise.
The inventor and patentee of this
engine has a ten-horse-power machine
in his shop in an unknown portion of
the city, which, according to Colonel
Nat Ward Fitz Gerald, the patent at
tOrney for the inventor, is being sue
cessfully operated. the generating pow
er being nothing more than a quart of
cold water, which is used over and
again ad finitum, the lifting power be-
ing 1000 pounds.
Within a few days this cold water
engine viii be on public exhibition, and
should it come up to what is claimed
for it, a greater wonder than the dis
covery and application of electricity
will have been brought to the notice
of the people and the expense hitherto
attendant upon the generation of power
viii forever be done away with.
