There were about fifty applicants
for the position. The election was
held in chambers, and it is the un-
derstanding that Colonel Allen re-
ceived three of the seven votes on
the first ballot and was elected on the
second ballot.
Colonel Allen, who is about fifty
years of age and native of Kentucky,
has been active in Democratic State
politics for two decades. On several
occasions his friends urged him to
make the race for Secretary of State.
He has not only interested himself
in politics, but has been a familiar fig
ure at the annual and semi-annual
meetings of the Missouri State Press
Association. AS he comes from the
old home at Butler, Bates county, Of
Judge Graves of the Supreme Court,

There seems little ground for fear.
however, that a majority of the prop
erty owners will object, as the demand
has been a popular one. After the
remonstrances are heard the board will
proceed OF advertise for bids, these to
be opened within two weeks after the
first advertisement. The contract will
be let on q basis of 10000 square yards,
with the~ provision that each street
must be sprinkled twice a day. In In

ALL WANT
TO TEACH IN
HAMMOND
Sup't G. M. Mcdaniel Be-
sieged With Applications
for Positions from Pedog-
ogues Who Live ALI Over
the United States.

Hammond is~the Mecca to which
school teachers from all parts of the
United States flock in search of posi-
tions. Superintendent c. NJ. Mcdaniel
stated today that he has over 100 ap-
plications for positions in the local
schools.
The reason for the large number OF
applicants is said to be the fact that
the Hammond schools are known to be
among the best in the country.
Hammond is also located near Chf-
cago, and this is an attraction to a.
school teacher in search of employ
ment. The salaries paid in the local
schools are also comparatively high and
this makes a position here attractive
to teacher.
Next Tuesday the board of educa-
ton will make the annual selection OF
school teachers which will compose the
1910 corps. There will, of course, be
some changes in the corps after tho
of Superintendent Nc
Daniel are accepted by the board. but
the staff will remain practically as Sc
Iected and confirmed at the meeting
OF the, board next Tuesday.

CENSUS men
HAVE NO
EASY SNAP
One Enumerator Finds on
Visit to House that Blood
Had Been Spilled During
a Fight; Foreigners Easier
Than Americans.

The census enumerators in Hammond
are having a fairly easy time of it
considering some of the reports that
are received from Chicago. The census
takers are. of course. finding it diff
cult in some cases to get the informa-
ton they want, but, as a rule. they get
along all right.
Jacob Bodegraven is acting as an
enumerator when he Is not employed
at the postoffce, and has been assign
ed to one of the most difficult districts
in the city.
He is taking the enumeration in one
of the localities largely inhabitated by
foreigners. He says. however, that in
many cases it is easier to count for
eigner than it is an American
The foreigner will remember that
his mother was born in Austria or
italy, but the American sometimes does
not know where his parents were born.
Sees Finish of Fight.
Bodegraven said that in one place
he found that there had just been a
big family row and blood was spilled
all over the house.
He said that when he appeared at
the door the head of the house de-
manded, almost savagely, to know what
he wanted. He informed him that he
was the federal census taker and that
re-assured the fellow, and Bodegraver
got the Information he wanted.
The Polish priest has explained the
taking of the census to his parishion-
ers and they all seem to be prepared
for the enumerators and are ready and
willing to answer the qeustions thai
are asked.
The enumerators find the peopl.
friendly. as a rule, and they seem tt
like the work.
