absolute repose and contentment.
Cowlo appeared weak and nervous udgrty,

PREPARING FOR THE CENSUS
.Major Wheeler Talkn About tin Itc

Dlrrntur AVllie.
Major D. H. Wheeler has returned from a
trip to Dea Moines, whero ho went to con
sult with tho asslHtant director of the
census, Fred II. Wines, relative to the work
of the next census, which will be begun June
t. At tho Des Moines meeting there were
present mipcrvisors from Iowa, tho Dakotas,
Minnesota nnd Nebraska, wllllnm K. I'eeblc3
of Tender and Major Wheeler of Omaha
representing Nebraska. The other Ne
braska supervisors met tho asoistant director
at Kansas City. The supervisors were In
structed in tho work and wero nhown the
methods best approved by tho department.
"Tho work of taking this censuo will be
more thorough than that of any previous
decade," says Major Wheeler, "and the
method adopted for tho selection of enumer
ators will place tho work In the hands of
competent men. When tbo application for
an appointment Is received It Is filed, and
as soon thereafter an possible, In the ease
of Omaha somo tlmo next week, tho ap
plicants nro furnished with a sample census
blank with tho work of an enumerator in
narrative form. The applicant Is expected
to fill tho blank from tho narrative and re
turn tho papers to the supervisor, who wnds
them to Washington for examination. The
appointment Is based upon tho grado made
by tho applicant In tho examination of tho
papers.
"Tho census bureau hns taken tho greatest
earo to prevent padding of the returns by
tho rnurneratorf In cities which dcslro a
hotter bhowing than they deserve. Mr.
Wines told mo that, for example, the bureau
has listed every houso In Omaha, with Its
location, and If any attempt Is made to pad
It will appear on tho face of tbo returns
nnd tho papers will bo sent back by a special
offlccr for rovlolon. Thero will bo about 1 15
enumerators In tho Second Nebraska dis
trict, und so far thero havo been filed 2.'n
applications, which, with the blanks yet out
will bring the number up to 275 or 2S0. Tho
question of appointing female enumerators
In this district will bo decided In Washing
ton. All such applicants will bo furnished
examlnatlcn papers nnd will be treated tho
same as their brothers."
MURPHY HIS OWN MASTER
No Truth In Report Hint Hp Huh lleen
Klpctcil 1'rcHlilcut of An
Iihult TriiKt,
Hugh Murphy, tho well known contrac
tor, has returned from Now York. Referring
to tho statement published a fow days ago
that ho had been mado president of an
asphalt trust at a enlnry of $23,000, Mr.
Murphy puts an emphatic quietus upon It.
"Of course," said he, "l have no Injunction
against tho newspapers to restrain tho
publication of Items concerning me, but this
statement Is much In error. I am, as I long
havo been, a contractor for public works.
That is my business, and nsphaltum Is
merely a sldo Issue with roe. As far as
tho salary of $25,000 por annum Is con
cerned, I havo had no trouble for years In
cleaning up that amount annually out of my
business, nnd that salary could, therefore,
hardly bo on Inducement for mo to enter
Into any complicated buslnesa Interests. I
havo been able to clean up that amount an
nually and bo at all times rny own boss, and
I would not bo likely to throw up all
chance of doubling It ineroly for tho privi
lege of drawing my salary and being u
figurehead. I expect to contlnuo In busl
new as a contractor for public works., and
nny propositions looking to my debut In tho
lolo of a trust magnate havo been turned
down. I have no divided lutoresta with

Notwithstanding tho revolution In senti
ment appuront In the Hoard of Education
relatlvo to tho closing of tho outlying
schools, tho special committee appointed to
Investlgnto complaints will report In favor
of tho new system nt tho meeting called
for tho purpose Monday night.
"Wo havo gono into the subject ex
haustively," said one of tho committeemen,
"and aro satisfied that tho new plan Is for
tho best Interests of all concerned. It Is
plain that tho Ambler, West Sldo and Kcker
tunnn districts, each with about twenty pupils
scattered through six grades, aro nothing
moro than country schools, and pupils who
havo attended them nro not prepared to
enter downtown schools In the samo grades.
When thero nro only two classes In a room
tlio training Is necessarily much moro uni
form nnd beneficial generally.
"Tho remonstranco Is mado primarily by
parties Interested In real estato who wish to
mnlntaln a school In their neighborhood at
whatever cost to tho city as an Inducement
to purchasers. As far as tho patrons nro
concerned, they aro receiving better school
facilities nt tho brick buildings to which
their children aro transported. We find tho
wagons used for the purpose in overy way
comfortnblo nnd adequate. If tho system Is
onco adopted It is probable that wagons will
bo specially constructed by order of tho
board. Wo consider tho saving effected by
tho new plan noarly 100 por month suffi
cient to Justify somo slight Inconvonlenco
nnd tho committee will mako no change in
tho report originally agreed upon."
Co nie Left In Pence.
In tho opinion of several mombers of tho
board no stops will be taken nt the meeting
Monday night toward tho expulsion of Mem
ber Cowie, although tho sentiment has been
previously expressed that further associa
tion with hlni would bo Intolerable, Tho
truth Is that something has happoncd to
alarm tho Investigating committee. It was
its intention to submit Its report last Mon
day night, rocomuHiidlng, among other
things, that Cowlo bo Immediately cast out.
At tho last moment, however, tho committee
held a consultation nnd begged for moro
tlmo. Attorney Jefferls, representing Cowie,
had already assured tho board that a resigna
tion would bo forthcoming after the trial,
but that at present such action wight work
Injury to the case of his client. The com
mlttco, however, would not coiment to any
delay and promised to use force. It is bc
lloved that tho attorney has taken stos In
tho direction of securing u restraining order
and has so notified tho committee. The lat
ter Is advising with tho hoard's attorney and
will probably submit n plan of action nt tho
regular meeting on March S. Cowle's attor
neys will glvo no indication nB to their prob
ablo course, but point out tho absurdity of
attempting, threugh the agency of Roberts'
Holes of Order, to oust a man who has been
elected by tin. people,
