she Is not too busy to spend many

frankly declares, she loves. she mo-

the restaurants, she shops in the
stores, she studies the people round
her, and comments deliEhtedly ou the
charming manners Of even rough
workmen.

Campaign Is eReaI Thing
There is no doubt that honest e.
forts are being made TO effect his
capture by Gen Ignacio Enriquez and
Gen Joaquin Amaro. but they are
making little or no Roadway
"Enriquez is making an active
campaign, and whenever he learns
where villa is he loses no time in
moving his command to that point
but never with the necessary rapidity
to gain a contact with the bandits
On such occasions as Enriquez has
succeeded in getting close TO villa,
the efforts expended in a forced
march have exhausted men and
horses, so that he has had to stop
and rest while villa romped away

The total number OF Omahans
missed by census enumerators has
reached $3.50, according to the
Chamber of Commerce. School
children Thursday reported 1872 peo-
pie missed, girls in the employ Of
the chamber who are calling every

In addition to this number Fort
Omaha officers say that the 800 Of
hcers and men at the fort were not
counted by census enumerators.
John H. Hopkins, director of fed

whether soldiers stationed at this
post can be included in Omaha S
population. Army officers, however,
declare that soldiers are counted and
added to~>~the population Of the
place where they are stationed.
