Census Supervisor.

Director of the census Merriam has issued
his first official bulletin. 1t announces
the division of the country into supervisor
districts, each district to correspond as
near as possible with the congressional
districts, tho of course they cannot in all
The Hawaiian islands are designated as one
district.
The duties of supervisor of the census
will be of the most important character
and that official will have many respon-
sibilties. he will have to appoint one or
more enumerators for each township and
ward, according to the population, 1000
inhabitants being the limit an enumerator
is supposed to take. The supervisor for
the eighth congressional district the cOun-
ties of Clinton, Saginaw, Shiawassee and
Tuscola will be called upon to appoint
about 125 enumerators, and will be held
responsible for the correctness of their
work. He will be required to inspect the
work of each enumerator and forward the
compilation of all statistics to the census
bureau at Washington. 1t will require
nearly year to complete the work of a
supervisor in making and correcting reports
to be forwarded to the census department.
The selection of Michigan supervisors
will soon be announced by Senators Nc.
MILAN and Burrows. In this district but
two candidates seem to be in the field, Fred
Edwards and Otto l.. SprOgue, both of this
city, Both have strong support. The COM
pensation of supervisors Is fixed by the
number of inhabitants in the district, in no
case being less than $1,000, which would be
the amount for this district.
The enumeration will occur In June,
1900, the entire month being allowed for
the work i'm townships, while In cities hay
ing over 5000 inhabitants the work must be
done within two weeks.
Enumerators In this district will receive
not less than two nor more than three cents
for each living inhabtant and for each
death reported; not less than fifteen nor
more than twenty cents for each farm; and
not less than twenty nor more than thirty
cents for each establishment of productive
industry enumerated.
The population of this congressional dis
trct in 1890 was 172, ,242; in 1894, IT'S, 5,375-
Shiawassee county increasing 1902, TuscOla

an increase or decrease?

Not Used to Cavalry.

Under date of Manila, Mar. 16, Sergt.
II. p. Winkler writes his sister Miss Mary
e. Winkler, of Owosso township, that he is
well and enjoying his work with the U. 3.
troops, altho he Is anxious for more
active efforts to capture the enemy all along
the line. His company was to leave for the
front on the 18th and he expected to take
part in some lively battles, the boys all
going we'll armed for most any kind of an
encounter. In speaking of one engagement
with the natives he says: "The 4th Cav
made charge on them day before yester-
day at Paranacua and killed about 500 of
them. 1.-THE 'Nigs" had never seen any
thing of the kind before and they stayed in
their trenches and never fred shot till
the cavalry got to within SO yards of them.
Then the troopers let out an Indian yell and
went after them. The natives couldn't
stand that and they hit the dust but
couldn't get to the brush quick enough"
Mr.. Winkler says the rainy season had not
yet commenced when he wrote, altho there
had been enough rain to make roads almost
impossible. The heat is intense and many
of the boys are unable to staDd it.
