g NOT A VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

Yesterday the day on which the taking of the
eleventh United States census was ordered
commenced.
A repirtor started out bright nnd early to
intercept some of the enumerators and note
the remit of their inquiries as to the comll-
tlon of tlio pcoplo In the several local district
trict- * .
Several bottles of liniment and rolls of
bandages wcro carried to be used In cuso of
emergency.
1' . J. Barrett , the ox-jailer , had been ap
pointed to canvass the Fifth district , lying
between the river antl Thirteenth street , and
Hickory and Dorcas streets.
Thinking 'that this district would bo a
aourco of Interesting information , Mr. Bar
rett's residence was visited where It was ai-
cf'rtnlnod that the gentleman wns in Chey-
cnne earning an honest living nnd there was
no probability of his returning to court death
ut ttio hands of his neighbors.
Nat.I. Kngllsh.llvltiK at 1207 Martha street ,
had boon assigned to the district next north
of Mr. Harrott's.
A call at his house revealed the fact that ho
had received his appointment only yesterday
morning nnd had gotio up town to ascertain
what were the duties devolving upon him.
Arthur 11. llrlggs , the hatter on Fourteenth
street , had been assigned to the district
bounded by Ninth street nnd the river und
Douglas and Jackson streets.
It was learned that Mr. JJrlggs had de
clined to bo sacrificed on the attar of his
country und had refused the- lucrative posi
tion of census enumerator to assume the moro
onerous ono of collector for himself , a duty
upon which ho entered with some Interest
yesterday morning.
An attempt was made to find Thomni Cook ,
the supervisor of the census In this district ,
but that gentleman was in Lincoln.
At the postonieo it was learned that the
documents and blanks for the enumerators
had been received by mail this morning and
thiriy-uightrof these gentlemen had called for
their packages. As there are instructions
enough in theso'paekages to keep a man busy
reading for three or four days it Is not likely
that inueh work In the way of canvassing
will be done before the latter part of the
week.
A few of the enumerators received their
papers last week , but the majority did not receive -
ceivo theirs until yesterday.
Nearly all of those who received thctrblanks
went to work at an early hour vesterday
morning. Among those was Seth Cole , who
has been assigned to District 10 , bounded on
the north by Cass , cast by the Missouri , south
by Douglas and west by Ninth street.
"How much are you going to make out of
111" was asked of the general enumerator.
"There Isn't u ten-dollar bill in it for mo. "
"How sol Don't you get a certain amount
for every name and every manufactory ! "
"Yes , but 1 can't populate the bottoms.
You know how many people thcro are down
there. Uesldes I've ' just received an order
that I ahull not bo held responsible for
enumerating tlio manufactories in my dis
trict bncuu.su it has bceu decided not to re
cord them. "
Mr. Uolo showed the order , which also
stated that It had been decided not to make
Inquiry into social affairs.
The moaning of the last clause could not bo
definitely ascertained in the absence of the
instructions ami Superintendent Cook who ,
It scums , has no rcprcdcntativo in this city.
Tills gentleman stated a week ago that his
headquarters would bo at Lincoln but that
ho would probably visit this city twice a
week at which times ho would stop at the
Millard.
The experience of Leo Hartley , the enum
erator who lias charge of the Twenty-llrst
district , which is bounded on the north by
Douglas street , on the west by Fifteenth , on
the south by Jackson und on the cast by
Twelfth , was somewhat varied.
When the clock in the tower of the high
school building pointed its index linger nt the
figure seven. Mr. Hartley was ou his way to
list tlio people of his district , thinking tnat by
starting early ho would Hud them at home.
To get his hand in his Ural stop was nt
Drexel it Maul's , where Kll Gish was just
- a corpse for shipment east. Mr.
isli answered nil the questions in a highly
satisfactory munnoiv > nnd now enjoys the hon
ored distinction of being the first Omaha man
whoso name was put upon the census roles' of
l&'JO. Having broken tlio leo Mr. Hartley
next tried Orchard's carpet store , but ns no
ono was nt homo ho Journeyed southward ,
trying the ofllces of the professional men in
Q rani to block , but these men were out nnd
after climbing to tha top of the building and
then down again ho was inclined to throw
up his job nnd return to his
printing. In this frame of mind ho sat upon
the steps of the Kamgo building during the
space of ten minutes , when upon looking up ,
ho spied Judge Julius Cooley coining down
the street. Cooley was halted , and after
answering the questions regarding his age ,
birth , nationality und future prospects for a
hereafter , the question , "What is your occu
pation ( " was propounded. This struck the
Judge in u tender spot , but striking a tragic
attitude , ho braced up anil responded , "An
actor , bo gad. " and so It was recorded , and
so It will go into the archives of the nation.
Once moro Hartley started on his weary
roundsthis time going to the topmost floor of
the itanigu nlock , where thirty telephone ) op
erators had Just congregated. In making this
trip Mr. Hartley's idea was to make money ,
and a * he is paid 2 cents for each name ho
enumerates he counted on W ) cents as tlio re
sult of thii venture , but again he was doomed
to another bitter disappointment , for none of
tlio operators were residents of his district ,
and down live flights of stairs ho wearily
trudged , fully realizing that if ho made any
money ho would be compelled to work for it.
The next stop was made on Jackson street ,
nnd walking up to the front door of rather a
line looking house , ho rang the door bell. This
brought the servant to the door , nnd in
a boiler factory tone of voice she informed
the employe of Uncle Sam that map peddlers
were not ullowcd on the premises , and if he
did not get out the bull dog that had not
lasted blood for seven days would bo un-
tctheml. Hartley vainly tried to argue the
point , but it was no use , mid was about to
give up In disgust , when the man of the
house came to the rescue , aud live names
wcro recorded on the sheets , each Individual
answering correctly , though ouo young
woman , who might have passed for thirty ,
averred she was only sixteen past.
Down the street n boarding house was
struck , and at this point Hartley eaiiturod
twenty-live persons , whoso ages ranged from
twelve months up to sixty years. Every
question was answered according to the
schedule laid down iu tlio printed form ,
though one young man stated ho would not
answer u question , If the WOO ho hud In the
bank was going to bo assessed. Ho was as
sured that It would not bo , after which ho
talked trcoly and oven went so far as to ten
der the information that while ho was not
the head of a family just then , ho expected
to lie before tlio end of the month , if the
girl's parents did npt object.
Hartley was not dealing In futures , so the
young man , whoso iiiuno might bo James C.
Hatter , was recorded us single.
The balance of tlio day was put In by working -
ing the block , and at six o'clock the enumer
ator returned to his homo hungry and foot
sore , and in costing up his accounts for the
day bo llgurcd out that ho had earned just
The questions regarding the various dis
eases to which llesli and blood sometimes be
come subject were touched upon very lightly ,
and the usual qusctlon , "Aro you in good
health ! " covered the entire ground.

A HOUUUJLU INCIDENT OP AVAIL
What One MUM Told ami What More
May Silently Kcmembcr.
"I had just sold my commission as
lieutenant in the British army when the
Franco-Prussian war opened , " said an
Englishman a few elays ago to some
irionds at the bar of the Hoffman house ,
says the Now York Sun. "I had still
seine pretty strong hankerings after an
active military career , and , as I had
boon disappointed in the business pro
ject that had induced mo to relinquish
the liono of seointr further service with
tlio reel coats , I joined the Foreign
Legion of tlio French army , and in the
following half year any craving I might
have had for lighting was amply grati
fied. I had many adventures , some of
them startling enough , but ono , to
which no personal danger was attached ,
stands out at times with unpleasant dis
tinction in my memory.
"A few weeks before all French hopes
of final success were buried at Sedan a
portion of my corps was dotae-hed to en
gage a party of Prussians that had been
harmssliig sonic villages near MotVo
found the enemy readily enough , but
they had boon strongly reinforced , and
though wo drove them back after sev
eral hours of very hard lighting , wo suf
fered severely.
"Night had fallen before the firing
ceased , and I was sent with an order to
an otllcer on a distant part of the field.
The moon was shining as I returned , and
1 was walking .my horse , as the animal
was very tired , when I roincd him in
quickly , because a fcoblo voice called to
me.
" 'Sir , ' it said , in very good English , 'I
rccogni/.o you as an olllcor of the foreign
legion. You are an Englishman , I think- .
Will you do me a very great favor and a.
last favor. '
"I dismounted and found a young
French ollicor lying at my foot. His
sword and pistols wore gene and ho was
desperately wounded. His eyes wore
almost clewed , the death damp lay cold
and heavy on his forohcad , and little
specks e > t foam ami blood wore on his
lips. Ouo bullet had passed completely
through his body , tearing his lungs in
its passage , and ho was gashed and per
forated in half a dozen other places.
" 'What can I do for you ? ' 1 asked.
" 'I am sulToring horribly , ' ho gasped ,
'and I may live for tin hour yet. Will
you have the great kindness to blow out
my brains and end my agony ; "
"I looked very closely at the poor fel
low. 1 know something about gunshot
wounds tint ! It was as clear to mo as as is-
the sun at noon that ho had no earthly
chance of living until the dawn.
" 'I cannot take your life , ' I said , 'but
if you deslro it I will lend you my pistol
and turn my head away. '
" 'Thank you , ' ho muttered , gratefully -
fully ; 'that will do just as well. I have
still enough strength loft to pull the
trigger. You will llnd a llask of eau do
vie and a bundle of cigars in the pewkot
of my cloak- . They are yours , mou ami.
Talco them , I entreat you. Adioul'
"Silently I handed him the weapon
and turned away. A sharp report rang
out. When I looked again at the French
man ho had ceased to suffer. I took Iho
pistol from liis hand and rode away
quickly.
"I have boon condemned for the part
[ playoel in this tragedy , but I have
never blameel myself. "

to look as though there might bo an

ANOTHER MURDERERS' ' DAY
The OhronUtar and Nistol SucpaoU nrc
Brought Into Court ,
ONE THINKS HE MAY GET MONET ,
Tlio Other Hag Money TliriiHL Upon
Him , an Also n Lawyer Who la

Yesterday was nn alleged murderers' day li
district court , with Judge Clarksou presid
ing.
ing.Tony
Tony Frank , the lovc-bralnod young fellow
with a bronze of hot foreign skies upon his
face , was arraigned on the charge of murder
In the Hrst degree.
As tlio county attorney went through the
formality of rending the information , charg
ing him witli premcdltatedly taking the life
ot Wllllnui Cronlstor , the peddler , Frank's
treacherous looking eyes watched his dark
skinned lingers play nervously with an old
straw hat which ho had worn from tlio Jail U
the court house.
When information had been read and the
court asked the prisoner what would be his
plea. Frank glanced up in a startled way and
replied :
"O , I plead not guilty not guilty you
know , Judge. "
"Havo you any money to employ counsel ! "
nsked tlio court.
' No , " replied the prisoner , and then after
considerable hesitancy ho added : "That Is ,
1 haven't no money now , but then oh you
know but you see , Judge , I expect somo. "
The court then told him that the best thing
ho could do was to arrange his matters
as speedily as possible. If lie know ho
would get money from somewhere ho had Ixjt-
tcr employ counsel immediately , the judge
said , as it would ho necessary to try the ciso ;
at no very distant day.
The county attorney said Unit ho had set
the case for Juno 11.
Frank was then led back to his cell , and
James Heynolds took his place before the bar.
Hoynolds is the young elmp charged with
shooting Nistel , the faithful young clerk of
Mr. Hamberger on South Thirteenth street.
It was n matter regarding counsel that
Reynolds was brought into court to discuss.
County Attorney Mahoney addressed the
judge and said that the attorneys which the
court had appointed to defend Reynolds , had
declined in favor of Judge Baldwin und that
the latter would explain.
Judge Baldwin then came forward nnd
said that It- had been discovered that Rey
nolds' parents resided in London , Eng.
Through n London attorney of well known
stuudlng the parents had cabled retaining
him , Judge Baldwin , to take the case. Ho
said that lie had no idea how his name hud
reached London and ho was very sure that ho
had no cappers in the county Jail. Ho said
that the. cablegram also stated that although
Reynolds' parents wcro in but moderate cir
cumstances , yet ho had bccu assured that ills
fee would bo paid promptly.
Judge Baldwin then asl < cd the court that
the trial bo postponed until next September ,
as it would bo impossible for him to prepare
for it In the short time remaining in this
term.
The request was granted , Mr. Mahoney
also being of the opinion that a postponement
would bo well as , in the meantime , Reynold's
companion on the night the crime was com
mitted , might bo caught.
It was learned that the arguments for n
now trial for Ncal would not be made until
the last of Juno or tirstof July , Mr. Gurley ,
of counsel for prisoner , going away to bo
married.
George Brown , charged with snatching n
purse containing a small sum from Mrs.
Anna M. Kenan's hand on May II , was put on

Judge Groff occupied the bench with
Judge Dutuly tills morning for a short while ,
and after the criminal cases had been dis
posed of went among Ids friends in the
court shaking hands.
Morris Robinson of Lincoln , was arraigned
for sending obscene matter through the
mails. Robinson , it seems , suspected his
wife's fidelity and sent her letters accusing
her of it , which embodied some rather racy
language. Since the receipt of the letters ,
tlio wife has sued and obtained a divorce
from him. Robinson did not deny the charge ,
and was lined $100 and costs.
Peter Sweeney of Children , a youth , ac
cused of selling liquor to Indians at the Rose
bud agency , pleaded guilty to tlio
charge. IIo was fined $10 and
costs and remanded to the custody of the mar
shal for live days' imprisonment.

Judge Doano heard tlio ease of John
Thomas against Thomas Kirk. This was a
case in which Kirk had given Thomas a note
for SOO in 1837 for money loaned. Kirk paid
interest ut the rate .of 510 jicr month for
nearly two years on this note and then con
cluded ho had paid enough. Thomas did not
ngrco with him and foreclosed a mortgage on
Kirk's team of horses. The horses were ro-
plevined und Thomas brought suit to recover
the team. The c.tso was given to the jury
last evening and a verdict returned giving
Kirk possession ot the horses and assessing

recently , la constantly doing un egg
( Inn cu between "gross misdemeanor" ou
tlio ono sldo nnd "insult of majesty" or
"disrespect of atato institutions" on tlio
othor. Two cases of brutal abuse of
editors imprisoned for political ollonses
Iu Germany huvo , however , aroused a
storm of indigimiion in all the radical
newspaper ollices of Germany and Aus
tria.
llorr Boshart was editor-ln-chlof of
the Gotlni Gazette , n radical daily in
Snohson-C'oburg-Gotlw. IIo was a keen
nnd courageous writer , and consequently
had no end of trouble with the little
princeling of his province. Some tlmo
ago lie was condemned to imprisonment
for the ! Uth or sixth time , nnd was in
carcerated lii the Iclibcrhaiison
penitentiary , near Erfurt. There
ho waa barbarously maltreated.
A few weeks after the be
ginning of his confinement his wlfo was
admitted to him. She found him with
head and face close shaven and in the
cast-olT , patched , and unwashed prison
suit of the previous occupant of his coll.
When ho perceived the horror of his
wife on account of his pitiable appear
ance lie began to weep. She bogged him
to dry his tears. lie answered Hint ho
could not , us the jailer had taken all his
handkerchiefs , lie had nlso boon de
prived of all his linen , underclothes , and
overgarments , na well as of eoap , towels ,
bniMies und slippers. Although ho had
nil abundance of money the privilege of
till ether prisoners to buy a place at the
keeper's table was denied to him. Frnu
Boshart was carefully watched through
out her visit iu her uusuaud'u cell iu
order thft aho she might bo provcntci
from lonvlng with Jilm any Articles o
oomfort.
The Klborfoldor Froio 1'rosso tolls

August Bolgor , editor mid proprietor c

Bolgor was imprwoned last mimme
under the drag-not press law , which con
templates "gross uusdemcanor. " Whoi
his term was about to expire ho wn

unable to toll anyone outside of prtsoi
concerning his luo in confinement , ant
so , despite the protests of the court , hi
partly freed his mind ot the complaint ;
that hud boon Accumulating in it ovei
since ho began "doing time. " Ho was
shaved clean , ho said , his hair was cu
close , and ho was put into a convlct'i
unwashed suit , although men in tin
BAtno prison for felonious assaults wen
permitted to wear a hoard and tholi
own clothes. Ho was kept in Bolltarj
conllncment , without a word to read ,
When ho complained the turnkey would
give him a pile of blockings to darn
Loiters that ho wrote to his wlfo were
overlooked by prison olllcials , and ovorj
line referring to the maltreatment he
wius receiving was stricken out.
The most aggravated feature of the
maltreatment of Boshart and Bolgei
was that it was unlawful and could take
place only with the connivance of high
olllolals who could have no interest in
aiding and approving mich acts of bar
barity unless they had boon inspired by
superior authority.
General Dix'n Faiuons Order.
Concerning General Mix's famous dis
patch : "If any man attomps to haul
down the American Hag shoot him on
the spot ! " General Sickles said to a re
porter a day or two ago : "On receipt of
the news from Now Orleans that an
attempt had been made to seize a reve
nue cutter , General Dix impulsively
wrote that splendid dispatch with the
true ring of patriotism and fight in it.
But ho no boonor saw it in black and
white than he began to hesitate mid
doubt. IIo lirst consulted the attorney
general , and the result of their delibera
tions was approval by the latter , but
Until resolve was had on Dlx's part to
submit the message to the presi
dent before sending it. On the way to
the white house I .met the two ollicors
and General Dix showed mo the dispatch
as ho had written it , and , stating the cir
cumstances , added that the attorney gen
eral approved it. 'Then send it at once , '
I said. 'The attorney general's approval
is sullicient. ' Still General Dix hesi
tated , when I said to him ; 'General , if
you send that dispatch the president
will approve of it as highly proper and
in the right-if ey. If you show it to him
it will never bo sent. ' It was sent , Bu
chanan did approv6 it and the north was
wild ever it for ivookn. General Dix
narrowly escaped imperishable fume on
that occasion. " ' >
A Second "Bleak House" Tjilo.
This week thorc > dled and was buried
hero a character that would make the
story of another "Bluak House. " This
wow Mr. Samuel Strong , an old man who
spent his life , from sixty to eighty , bat
tling with the worst of debtors the
United States government , says a Now
York letter. IIo was a contractor bore
for many year.3 , and under the pictur
esque regime of .Governor Shepherd ,
when Washington had a local govern
ment , a legislature , etc. , ho performed
much work for the government. The
amounts alleged to , bo duo went way up
Into $500,000 and $ GOOOQO. The old man
hud to put up witJi the law's delay.
General Butler got mixed up in it , and
his last act against the old man was an
indictment for forgery. Mr. Strengthen
then over eighty years of ago , for it only
occurred a low months ago stoutly refused -
fused to give bail and went to jail. After
spending several weeks in prison , his
family and friends induced him to give
bail and como out. But this last blow
was too much for him. He broke down
and died after a brief illness. In his will
he loft instructions that tlio suits should
bo prosecuted by his heirs to the bitter
end. A great crowd of the most respect
able citizens attended his funeral. No
body believed him to bo a forger.
A Wonderful Transformation.

UNLIKE TEA & COFFEE-GOOD FOR THE NERVES.
The claims of cocoa as n useful article of diet arc steadily
winning recognition. Unlike tea and coffee , it is not only a
stimulant but a nourislicr ; and it has the great advantage of
leaving no narcotic effects. Hence it is adapted to general
use. The strong may take it with pleasure , and the weak
with impunity.
