and the place of birth of the father and

those who can not speak English the par-

the case of mothers an inouirv will be

family visited the question will be asked
,ts to the number of persons in the fam
ily, and whether his home is owned or
hired; also, :f owned, whether the home
is free from mortgage incumbrance. If
the head of the family is a farmer, simi
lar innuiries will be made concerning
a
the ownership of the farm. In addition
to these inquiries, all of which are made j
on the population schedule, the law un-
der which the census is taken makes pro
vision for special inquiries concerning
such of the population as may be ment
ally or physically defective in any re
spect, that is, insane, feeble-minded,
deaf, blind, or crippled, or who may be
temporarily disabled by sic kness, disease,

Everybody is astonished to think that
such a minstrel company as the Cleve
land- Haverly 'a would come to our city.
But it was through the efforts of J. P.
Young that they were secured, and they
should have a large patronage. Their
actUal daily expenses are over $350 and
jrr Waterman has consented to give his
patrons the best and largest company of
the season, at a large expense to himself,
to cloge tbJ thfcatricai seaSon at the opera

our citizens will appreciate it, and let
the evidence of their appreciation be a
'packed house" next Saturday nights
We learn from the telegraph that non
R. W. Furnas, who was so ably presented
to the president by the Nebraska delega
tion for appointment as commissioner-atj
large to the world's fair, was today ap
pointed an alternate commissioner to act
in the place of Hon. R. E. Kerins of St.
Louis. Ex-Governor Furnas is especially
fitted for the commissionersbip, and the

Nebraskans here are exceedingly anxious

dent deemed it advisable to recognize
Missouri. Mr. Kerins is a very promi
nent republican in his statu and a busy
man, and it is more than likely that Mr.
Furnas will have an opportunity to take
an active part in the management of the
fair after all.

Ticket agent Latham is selling on an
average of ten tickets per day to St

cheap fares.
We noticed last evening. Mr. Will

found the cause to be a fine 12 pound

County court is engaged this after
noon in hearing the case of Henry Voss,
architect of Omaha, against Julius Pep-
perburg. The difference in controversy
is $50, growing out of plans and speci
fications drawn by Mr. Voss for Mr.
Pepperburg.
We have ileard considerable complaint
on our streets lately about the way in
which the Omaha Republican was being
delivered in this city. It seems that the
boy that has been delivering it has 1
better job and the new boy does not un
derstand the ways yet.
Next Monday, June 2, the United
States census enumerators start out on
the war path, and the fur will fly before
he gets through; for he will ask a "girl"
of 30 her acre. He will ask old maids
whether they have ever been married.
and if you ever were divorced, and a
host of other questions. And he will do
well if he returns with his life.

Veterans of the Civil War.
As a part of the census of the people
to be taken during the month of June,
special provision has been made by
Congress for ascertaining the names of
surviving soldiers, sailors, and marines
who were mustered into the service of
the United States during the war of the
rebellion, and of the widows of soldiers,
sailors, and marines who have died. In
connection with this special census of
veterans, the organization or vessel in
which they served, the term of service
in each case, and present residence will
be taken by the census enumerators. In
the case of widows, information regard
ing the service of their deceased hus
bands is also required.
The importance of accurate statements
concerning the military record of each
participant in the late war should not be
underestimated. It should be the duty,
moreover, of pvery veteran soldier or
sailor to see that the enumerator is plac-
in possession of tho neccessary infor
mation concerning his own service. If
he cannot be at home when the enumer
ator calls he should leave a proper mem
oranUum in the hands or his wile or
other member of his household, so that
the work of the census may not be de
layed, and also that there may be no
doubt as to the accuracy of the state
ments concerning his service which may
be given to the censns enumerator.
That there may be no question as to
the points to be covered by this memo
randum, it may be well to state that th
special inquiries to be made concerning
veterans of the civil war include the
name, the company, and the regiment or
vessel in which they served, their late
rank, the dates of enlistment and dia
charge, the length or seryice in years
months, and days.and their present post
office address. Where a soldier or sailor
re-enlisted or served in more than one
organization er vessel, he should be care
ful to give the term of service in each
instance, and to cover each enlistment,
In giving the organization care should
be taken to distinguish the arm of the
service, as infantry, cavalry,'! artillery
etc-, ana it a person seryea under an
assumed name, his statement should be
made to cover both the name under
which he served and the true name by
which he is now known.
Veterans of the war generally wTil
recognize and appreciate the value of
this special census to them, and they
should aid the census enumerators in
getting true statements in every way
possible. Without their co-opera
tion correct results can not be reached.
This personal appeal is made to them,
therefore, in the hope that their attention
may be specially directed to the import
ance of this work and the necessary in
formation may be promptly supplied to
the enumater when he calls some time
during the month of June.

An Important Case.
Judge Chapman 13 holding court at
Lincoln this week, and at present is try
ing the very important case of Wm. Hen
ry Webb against the Burlington and
Missouri R. R. for damages receiyed dur
ing the strike. The following in regard
to the case we clip from the Lincoln
Call:
The petition in the case of Wm. II.
Webb vs the B. & M. R. R. that was
published a year ago, in which Mr.
Webb, an engineer who came from Con
necticut at the time of the strike, seeks
to recover damages from the company
for breach of contract. W. H. Smith
prosecutes the case and Marquette, Dew-
eese & Hall appear for the defense. This
morning the court called the case before
a jury and the forenoon was occupied in
bearing the testimony for the prosecu
tion. The tesfmony was mucn tne same
as recited in the petition and the testimony
of Webb showed that he was hired at New
Mr. Haven by agent of the company seek
ing engineers to take the place of strik
ing men. That he had previously been
a locomotive engineer for years; that he
came west under an agreement to work
for four dollars per day until schedule
time was adopted and that then his
wages would be from one hundred and
twenty-five to one hundred and forty
dollars per month. That after two
months' work with no complaining a
gainst him he was furnished transporta
tion to bring his family to Lincoln,
which he did; that no sooner had they
arrived than he was transferred by rapid
stages downward as if to freeze him out

and into rc-nignincr, and finally his wages
per month ran uud'-r fifty dollars and he
was ftdsely accused of burning engines
etcetera until he was not furnis led with
work enough to earn a living and was
forced to resign when he brought the
suit. The defense; in the case lias a lartje
Ust o witnesSes who will probably at-
tempt to prove Webb's incompetency.
The defense has the floor this afternoon.
Improvemets.
Editor Heuald: To my way of
thinking, the suggestion of councilman
D. M Jones, to vote $30,00 for nee ied
city improvements, is worthy of more
than passing notice. The finest impetus
this city ever receiyed, was at the hamls
of public improvements, and in order
to keep up the present gait, we must do
something beside talk.
Washington Aven ue will be the main
thoroughfare to the new depot, which
will make necessary the t-x'.ention of
the sewer along the west side of the
street.
We need more paving and we need a
city hall badly. Let the people back up
the council and their part of the work
will be done, and then it will be for the
public spirited citizens to sy whether
we shall improve or stand still.
