OUTRAGEOUS FRAUD.
LINCOLN , NEIL , Oct. 14. 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.

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.

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. In fact , if
you want 10 uuuuiusuu wuu KUOU stories , learn
how to keep house and make it beautiful , how
to keep well , or anything else that you want
to know , take our advice and send your sub
scription ( only $2.00 a year ) to W. JENNINGS
