aking of the Census.

Many people who have encountered
the census enumerator find how easily
1t Is to be imprepared to furnish the
facts in relation to the history of ones
own household in answer to questions
that are asked by the man with the
blanks and pen and ink. 1t often
happens that in the matter of deaths
ia the family history the mind is not
sufficiently charged and the enumera-
tor is put to unnecessary delay by the
hasty search that is made for books
and papers or something that gives
the record. This is one of the great
est hindrances that is met with by
the enumerator and his task would be
considerably ghtened if people would
go to the trouble to prepare them
selves in advance in order that they
could answer intelligently and quick
~ all questions that are to be asked
All questions are willingly answered
and in all cases the enumerators have
been very kindly received. Mosques
tions are asked but what can be an
swered at once if little thought is
given the matter in advance. Only
the month and year of birth of each
person enumerated is wanted, as we'll
as years of marriage, number of child
rem, the state or country where each
were born. These are simple ques-
tions but many people find them the
hardest to answer. There is no use
in waiting until the enumerator comes
around but write down the answers
and anyone at home can then give
them to the census taker when he
calls; it will save time and annoyance
to all concerned
The information desired is EN- braced
in twenty-six questions as follows:
/. City.
=. Street, and nImber.
3. Name.
4. Relation tc head of family.
D. Color of race
6. Sex.
I. Date of -month-year-
s. Age at last birthday.
9. Whether single, married, Wild
owed or divorced.
10. Number of years married.
il. Mother Of how many children.
-. Number OF these children liv-
ing.
ID. Place of birth.
II. Place of birth of father.
10. Place of birth of mother.
10. Year of immigration to the
United States.
H. Number of years in the United
States.
| IS. Naturalization.
10. Occupation, trade or profession.
20. Months not employed.
p. Attended school lin mopths.)
%. Can read.
%. Can write.
"a. Can speak English.
%. Is home owned or rented.
20 If owned, is home free or mott
gagged.
Very title that may be regarded as
official impertinence is included in
the score OF the inquiries OF the enum-
orator. But the people have full
protection as against everybody but
the census taker. Every body's an
swer TO his questions is under his
oath Of secrecy. If he divulgcs any
secret in his official possession he is
punishable by greater pains and pen
alties than person shall suffer who is
recalcitrant under his inquiries
1t is not only a Lawful! duty, it is a
civic duty TO answer every official
question OF the census taker. His re-
ports will illustrate the growth and
prosperity OF the country. Ii they
are accurate they will form record
OF the highest value for the present
and for history.

Sixteen years have elapsed since last the citizens
Of Lancaster accorded the privilege of entertain

cratic convention. The fund is
growing rapidly and already mo unit
ed up to the sum of S7I,77o.

The contract has been awarded for

firm which furnished the steel for
the old building and they are now

II now seems settled fact that
the hall can be made ready for the
Democrats by July 4, unless some
unforeseen delays occur. The work
is being pushed with all possible
speed. A much finer and better
hall will take the place of the old
and it will be as nearly freproof as
possible.

THE Republicans of the Second
district met at Garnett Thursday,
April 5, and made their various
nominations. Congressman Bow
ersock was renominated by accla-
nation as were the delegates to the
national convention and the presi-
Dental electors. The national del
egates elected were Grant Horna-
day, of Borboun county, and w. G..
Holt, of Wyandotte county. w.
Parker was selected as elector. The
resolutions indorsed the national
and state administrations and in
dorsed Charley Scott, Congress
man Bowersock and Senator Baker.
1t would be hard to get Neosbo
county Republican to say that the
first two sections of the resolutions
were not exceptionally good.

but in the meantime it had been sold
to the Union Broom Supply 20.
M. G. w. were then sued by the n.
B. & b. Co. for $3,S75 damages for re-
fusal to deliver the brush, but the
plaintiffs dismissed the case at Erie
Tuesday at their own cost, and M. &
w. are out an attorney fee to @. A.
Cox for their share of the bluff game.
Mr.. Kleinle, the president of the Bal
timore company, deposed as follows,
and it is no great wonder that his at
torneys, Messrs. Jones & Brewster, re-
fused to 60 to trial:
1.-THE market was in a great state uf
excitement and we could not decide
whether it was going up or down.
Fearing that it might go down we
sent this telegram to countermand
our order.'
1t would seem by this that the Bal
timOre firm wished to have kind of
fast OF loose contract by which they
could take the corn if 1t went up or
not take it if it went down.
That is a very safe kind OF con-
tract to have in exciting times but it
is necessary for both parties to agree
to it.. In this case MeSsrs. Morey &
Winfield very wisely concluded that
they were no longer held and as Mr..
Lang, of Pittsburg, Pa, was here,
they sold the corn in question to him,
feeling much relieved to get rid of the
corn that had been bought at prices
ahead of the then ruling market and
which was left on their hands by the
Baltimore firms refusal to take 1t.
A big bluff sometimes wins in other
games, but in this it did not. The
Norman Broom & Brush Co. are out
their attorney fees and all costs.

rhe Great BROOM Corn suit.

The Norman Broom s. Brush Co. VS..
d. E. Morey and S. Winfield is the
title to case that was set for trial In
the district court OF this county for
the April term. The issues were all
made up, but when the attorneys for
the plaintiff saw the evidence OF their
clients they very wisely dismissed the
case. The facts are about as follows:
The Norman Broom & Brush Co., OF
Baltimore, Nd, placed an order with
MoreY & Winfield for $50 tons OF
Broom corn on the 5th Of last October.
Two days later on the 7th, Morey &
winfield reported by mail the puT-
chase OF 30 tons and asked for ship
ping instructions. On the same day
n. & W. received a message revokina
the order. Then. two days later, they
received another message demanding
the shipment Of the 30 tons bought,

SENATOR CLARK, charged with
having bought up the Montana leg
islature which elected him to the U.
S. Senate, will not be permitted to
warm his cushioned chair in that
body. The committee on elections
has decided against him by unan-
imous vote, and his seat will be de-
clared vacant. The case has been
pending for long time and the re-
suit is satisfactory to the average
American, who has little patience
with an amateur politician who can't
cover up his tracks any better than
Clark did.

A Turn in the Tide

The war in Africa seems to have
turned in favor of the Beers lately.
The Beers seem to be concentrat-
ing in large numbers around Lord
Roberts army at Bloemfontein and
the British are now entirely on the
defensive.
There have been several sharp
engagements lately between de-
tachments of the British troops and
bodies of the Boer soldiery. These
engagements, while not decisive in
any way, show that the Beers have
rallied from their seeming panic
and become aggressive. They re-
Gently attacked five companies of
British regulars near Lord Roberts
headquarters and after a sharp fight
compelled them to surrender, cap
turing between five and six hundred
prisoners with their supplies and
equipments and walking off with
them right under Lord Roberts
nose. The British played one re-
turn game by drawing two hundred
Beers into trap and capturing
them. This gives the Beers two
games out Of three in the series
around Bloemfontein, but the Beers
scored much heavier in their two
games.
The indications now are that the
Beers will make desperate effort
to retake the town. They seem
very active and determined, and a
severe engagement may be looked
for soon. 1t would seem that Lord
Roberts with his much superior
force to anything that the Beers can
bring against him, would be abun-
dainty able to more than hold his
own, yet there seems to be Goo
of destiny that controls the battle:
and what mortal can predict the
end?

Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel.

CONSISTENCY, lnOu Art JeWel.
The inconsistency of our dear
Democratic friends on the tariff is
showing up rather glaringly in their
talk on the Porto Rico tariff bill. 1t
has been the life long plea of a
good old simon pure Democrat that
the tariff is tax on the consumer
and that he alone paid it, and all
arguments of the protectionists here
to-fore have been futile to convince
him of his error.
Now, in this Rorto Rican matter,
he has reversed himself and is argu-
ing against the small tariff placed
on Porto Rican goods to raise the
necessary money to carry on the
government of the island on the
ground that it is oppressive to the
poor people of that island and that
their goods should be admitted free
to this country in order to help
them out in their poverty stricken
condition.
Consistency has never been q
part or parcel of Democratic stock
in trade, bu, il IS rather amusing TO

The recent automobile show tx New
York contained two exhibits, each OF
which gained an interest by the pres
ence Of the other. One was a practical
automobile made in this country forty
years ago, still serviceable and in use
rs a pleasure vehicle. It was built by
Richard Dudgeon of Locust Valley,
Long Island, and is really a steam To-
connective for 8 on ordinary roads. II
weighs two and three-Quarters tons,
yet 1t develops Lighthouse power and
has frequently attained a speed OF
forty miles al hour. Beside this classic
automobile was shown the electric
hydrant" OF '.electrant," designed t.
stand on a street corner or by country
roads, from which the owner Of
modern electric vehicle can draw 8
certain amount Of electrice 'juice" by
dropping a quarter In the slot.
