For over a month the Prohibition State Committee has been conducting an investigation into the fraudu lent census of Omaha. Leading citizens of the crime-cursed city appealed to the commit tee in the interests of common decency and fair play. The committee made a thorough investigation and so rotten did the case appear that exposure .was agreed upon as a duty due the people. The newspaper prostitutes of Omaha will howl like impaled hyenas when the gigantic frauds they have conspired in covering up are thoroughly exposed. The Third Ward of Omaha was reported by Tom Cooke's enumerators as containing a popula tion of 21,944. The devil overstepped himself here and suspicion' ; of honest men became aroused. Experts were sent to take the cen sus informally and the Third Ward was found to contain on the most liberal estimate riot more than 7,500. This shows the astounding fnrud of over 14,000 in a single ward. This would not be believed until the % \ ard had been carefully gone over and estimated by disin terested parties , who arrived at the same re suits within a few hundred. The special enumeratois found only 6,336 bona fide inhabitants in the Eighth Waid , but Tom Cooke's accommodating liars returned 17,289 , nearly three times the actual popula tion. In the Seventh Ward there are only 5,500 inhabitants of all ages , sexes and conditions , but Cooke's bog-trotters turned in 8,657 a stuffing of 3,157. This ward was presumed by the committee to be substantially correct , but they were doomed to disappointment. The Second Ward is another rotten baili wick viewed from the standpoint of Cooke's nasty returns. This ward contains an actual population of 9,950 , while Cooke's beasts of burden collected sufficient names from the directories of the world to pile up 17,458 a reckless excess of 7,500. Five more wards are yet to be investigated and only the Lord and Cooke , the manipula tor , can faintly imagine what the end will be. The matter has already been brought to the notice of the superintendent of the census at Washington and will soon be laid before the U. S. district attorney. The investigation has gone far enough to warrant the estimate that Omaha's census returns are stuffed over 30- ooo names in four wards and probably 15,000 to 20,000 in the other wards , making the per jured returns foot up close 1045,000. The full notes taken by the special enumerators and detectives are rich food for thought. If some of the guilty parties do not land in the peni tentiary it will be a scandal that Nebraska's historian can never gloss over with a plausible explanation. SECRET OF THE CRIME. What induced this shameless debauchery of the national census. Even the liquor anarch ists feeling bold no doubt under assured pro tection in their hellish work , laughingly grunt between drinks , "Come and see us about No vember 5 and the rest of the chapterwill need no explanation. " Several of the enumerators were seen and much damaging admissions and testimony was obtained. The state cannot afford to lie down to sleep and let the Amendment be de feated by such unspeakable outrages on the ballot as has been planned in connection with this census-padding scheme. Let every work er get down to active personal work and assist in bringing the state to Douglas county with 40,000 majority for the Amendment. THE GRAND LODGE I. O. G. T. The Good Templars had the largest and most successful Grand Lodge session , last week , in many years. The meeting was at Grand Island and addresses were delivered Ex-Gov. St. John , Hon. M. J. Fanning and A. G. Wolfenbarger. Grand Secretary Watts' re port showed a net gain of twenty-five lodges for the year and an increase in membership of over 500. Hon. A. M. Walling was re-elected Grand Chief and Chas. Watts was again chosen Secretary ; the other principal officers chosen were : Anna M. Saunders , Grand Counselor ; Miss May Farmer , Grand Vice ; Edwin C. Haskell , Grand Supt. Juvenile Templars ; Mrs. E. A. Smith , Grand Treasurer ; A. G. Wolfenbarger , Grand Electoral Supt. Chas. Watts and L. B. Palmer Representa tives to the Right Worthy Grand Lodge , and Miss Saunders and Mrs. Alice Minick , alter nates. Col. John SobieskitheeloquentPolish prince is making a canvass of the state. Did you ever meet a college-bred girl who did not love her Alma Mater ? And why sh ould not sbe , as well as her brother , think her own "the dearest and noblest and best" ? After reading the charmingly written and magnifi cently illustrated article on "Student .Lifo at Wellesley College , " in DEMOREST'S FAMILY MAGAZINE for November , just received , wedo not wonder at the enthusiasm of the Wellesley alummc and students for the "Wellesley blue. " Every woman , and every man , too , will bo in terested in the illustrated article about "The Fur-Seal" : the women because every blessed one of them loves a handsome sealskin gar ment : and the men because they want to know what they pay their meney for , for "seal skin is sealskin" now , and costs a pile of mon ey. Indeed , this number of the Magazine really takes us all around the world. Starting at Wellesley , by simply turning the leaves , we are transported to "The Land of the Lapps , " and the beautiful illustrations and vivid des criptions make us quite familiar with these queer people ; then the illustrated serial story carries us to China , and we complete the cir cuit by visiting the seals in Alaska and Green land , taking a little diversion by the way in reading "Chat" about society doings , and en joying in imagination so many good things told about in "Household , " that we wish Thanksgiving were already come.
