Tlio general opinion expressed in regard to the census enumeration as given for this city is Unit there has been some woeful mistake made. It is pointed out that the vote at the last city election was the largest ever polled, and that our school rooms are crowded. There are mom children in our schools than ever hefore, and that ought to point to n much larger popu lation. We might do as they do in the old country, and take our census in one dny Ten mini could easily do it, and we would be willing to be one of tlio ten. So long as wc feol that wo are larger than tlio government, gives us credit for, wo ought to got at it and verify or disprove the count. Suiely 1, 118(5 seems small compared to tho way we feel.

KO0 00 .7ri P8 Kl 000 H 000 Tuesday morning about r.3() n gang of bank robbers broke. Into the State Bank of Rosemont and robbed the safe, netting thorn $1000. Three charges of nitroglycerine wore used to blow the safe open and it took them about thir ty-livc minutes to do the job. RIoodhouudH were brought from Lincoln on tho morning tialti and put on tho robber's trail but they lost the scent. The job was evidently the work of professionals, and it is biHieved that they are tlio same men who robbed the Naponeo bunk last week and got away with SUOOO The interior of t he t'rntuu bank build ing was wi coked by the explosions, of which there weic thice. coining about 10 minutes apart. John Hnnlicck mid H. .1. Kohmet schnr woro sleeping in tlio rear of Mr. Kohmctclior's saloon about a 100 fcot from the bank building when they were aroused by tin explosion about 1:15 a.m. They guessed at once that the bank was being robbed but woro afraid to voiituro outsido the saloon. It was not until 10 minutes after Uio first explosion that they nerved them selves sudloiently to notify Cashier Doos, who lived nearby. Tho banker went at onco to the bank and summoned others. 'Die interior of tlio place was badly wrecked. Tlio door of tlio sate had been blown oil' and landed on the opposite side of tho room, a distance of about eight fcot. Tho windows were broken and the counters were ovcttiirned. Near the safe were r. grubbing hoe, railroad pick and a carpenter's hammer, both left behind by the robbers. Resides $1,000 in gold, silver and currency, constituting nearly all the cash in tlio safe, the yeggmen took a bundle of notes. Records left intact show just what notes are missing All morning a crowd of several hun dred persons was assembled about tho bank building. This interfered with the dogs taking the scent. Searchers found $5(1 in gold and sil ver in tlio wreckage in the bank build ing in the afternoon. Sheriff Hedge was called and went to the scene early Tuesdny morning. Detective Malono of Lincoln and Shei ill' Jones were also on tho scene No clue was left by the robbers to which direction they went or how man' there were in the gang. , On Tuesday Slierill' Hedge arrested three suspicious characters at Cowles, and after an examination by a Lin coln olllcer they were released. On Wednesday the same three tramps wore located at the stock yards in this city and on advice of interested parties were taken into custody by the sheriff and lodged in jail on suspicion of being connected with the Rosemont bank robbery. Tho bank had a capital of 65000 and deposits of nearly SiiO.000. Tlieolllcors are: President, Henry (Jund. Vice-President. C. F tJuud. Cashier, O. .1 Iloos.
