Matters In th census department are progrcssln rapidly. Superintendent Lane ycstor day morning found that ho had paid on BO far $32,000. This Includes pamen on blsnka and stationary , the paymon of all but about twenty of tbo enumerators tors , oxpreasago and some of the ofllc expenses , loavlcg him about $1,500 wit' ' which to moot his copying and otho office expenses. The anperlutondon thinks bo will have plenty to ontlrcl complete the work by being somowha economical. The population of Nobrask City is shown by the enumeration to b 5.597. The state mllttla will bo ordered Int camp four days this year , which wl ! probably bo soon after the state fair , an It In thought the camping ground will b in tbo vicinity of Lincoln. An error has been circulate d in rcgar to the enumeration In Flllmoro county which was given out aa 10,442 , while It i 13,450 , giving it an Increase ever tb conaua of 1880 of 3,010.

The balance of the nnappratsed scboo lands in Antelope county , consisting o ! twenty-four toctlona have been orderec appraised. Now difficulties are arising under the now school law , and ono of the questions which seems likely to glvo a largo amonn of tronblo and which the officers seem to bo in doubt about , is whether a ptrty who has leased school londa prior to the now law can prove up or purchase under the law which hia Icaeo wna taken or whether ho must provo up under the now law. law.Thero There trill soon ba another mandamua nerved on the auditor , as he has refnsac to piy the county treasurers the fees on school and university lands under the law of 1873. Aa thenow law of 1870 makes no provlalon for the payment of any commission on thesj lands , it la quite likely the supreme court Trill uphold him In hla refusal , as It did in regard to the university funds. It will bo a saving to the state of about $3,000. The state auditor , H. A. Babcock , will visit Omaha to-d y. 0. B.

Some of the Objects In Vloxv to bo Iiookctl After now the Appro priation UExpomlcd Eil- ucallonnl Matters , Etc , Etc. ; The Uolman , or rather the apodal congressional committee , appointed to Investigate Into the great Indian problem , and BOO what con bo doiio to solve it for the boat good of ovcry human concerned , will start out to day from hero on Ha journey , to the varloua Indian agencies , reservations and schools , scattottd around ever the western country. The mombcrs of the committee arc lion , William 8. Holman , member of congrcos fromlndlann , chairman ; lion , J. 6. Cannon , member of congress , from Illinois. lion , Thomas llyan , member of congress , from Kansas ; Raproaontatlvo Pool , of Arkansas , and Ropreeontatlvo Hatch , [ of Mlesourl. Onlythreo of them however. Messrs. Holman , Gannon and Kyon go out on the luvoatigatlon. Peel and Hatch are detained at homo , the latter by sickness in his farmiy and the former by business that compels hla attention. Messrs. Holman and Cannon arrived hero yesterday , and Mr , Rysn will bo In at G o'clock this morning. They Trill start on the noon train , golnfc from hero first to the Rosebud and Pine Bluff agencies. The committee la accompanied by Maj. J. P , Noodham , aergeaut-at-arms for the house of representatives , and J. C. Courts , clerk to the honso committee on appropriations. Mr. Cannon's wife and his charming daughter , Miss Helen Cannon , came thla far with him , and after remaining hero a few days will go to visit relatives at Kau nas City. Desiring to learn something as to the business and principal objects of the committee , a reporter for the BEE had his card elevated to Mr. Eolman'a room at the Paxton hotel , last evening , and w s granted a very pleasant Interview. Mr. Holman said , In reply to an Intero- gatlon from the reporter , that firat of all it trill bo the business of the committee to inquire into the manner in which public money appropriated for the use and benefit of the Indians Is being expended ; whether beneficially , economically , judiciously , and for the boat Interests of tno Indiana , or whether recklessly , extravagantly , or moro for the benefit of agents. The manner and mode employed to odncato the Indian children la also ono of the moat important questions the committee lias been entrusted with. It is ballovod by a great many men who have given the subject much attention and study that the present mode employed to odncato ; the . Indian children la not conducive of the boat r oa nit a. They are sent away to colleges whore the children of numerous tribes have boon col lected , and of courao learn rapidly ; eoemto readily accept all the re quirements of civilization and give prom ise of becoming good citizens , but just as soon as they leave school and return to their people , they at once adopt the ab original customs and customs , and return to the barbarian ways of their ancestors. Aa a remedy for this it la proposed that a system , of common schools among all the tribes would have such an influence on the older Indiana that their Interests would bo aroused to such an extent all inducements , for Indigence and barbar ism i ( among the young Indiana would be removed , In its rounds the com- mltteo will visit all the Indian schools in the country and 81II "nvestigato thoroughly into the way they are conducted , As matters are now when the Indian children totnrn to their homes from these schools , unless they sink back Into the barbaric and super- stlclona ' ways of their people , they are to a't certain extent ostracised. Much of the ) committees time will bo devoted to ascertaining how money can be expended atl adopting a plan which will produce the beat results for civilizing and adncat- Ing the Indian boya and girls. It Is also propoaed to inveatlgato the feasibility and'tho advantages of a policy , long contemplated , of finally getting all the Indiana in the country , except thoeo It who bold lands In severally , located with ItR in the borden of the Indian tenltory , \1 where they cm the moro easily bo cared la for and protected. It has become so lak now that these almost people are entirely 01 dependent upon the government , said 01S Mr. : Holman , for their support. The tl chances for hunting game ore almost la played out. But to give them the tup- laof port they require , It beoomea necotaary ofVI for the government to BOO that they VIB are concentrated as much as psilblo : tli and if they can ba Induced to aattlo in re the Indian territory that will bo made a tr atata expresaly for tholr own USD. Then trhe the reservations ucattored about bore and he thcro over the country can bs secured by at the government , opened for settlement , atal and the procoedo derived therefrom devoted - alm voted to teaching the Indiana agricultural m pursuits and educating their children. go connection with thta proposition to he concentrate the Indiana in the Indian fein territory , congreoa also has another mo in tive In vlow , and that la to stop the do- alro and determination of whlto mon co going in there and occupying the lands , co While It Ia Impossible now for white th people to Invade the territory with a vlow an making homes , still It la open to civilBI Izod Indians , and no ono can Interfere the with them going In and occupying the ru lands ) , Mr. Holman expressed himself as being re turprlaod at findlnghero such a great city , cli and ho thlnka that the future outlook for on Omaha la equal to , If not greater , than BO any other city In the country.

It was noted at head quarters yesterday that Charles Francis Adams will return hero about Saturday. There wcro no accidents , no unnshal fetes of fatter big trains , no rumors of strikes or wars. T , W. Blackburn's story about his trip to the irost with the Iowa editors , as been printed on Overs , and Is in great dcmvjd. NOTES FROM TUK COUNTRY. President Adams has diffused a cheer ful air throughout Cheyenne thick enough to cut. A delegation of business man called on him Sunday while in that city , nnd submitted throe conundrums regardIng - Ing the relations of the Union Pacific and the psoolo of the city , First , the snttlo- mont of a cloud on the title to lands sold under the Dodge regime ; second , build ing n now depot ; nnd lastly , building n road to the northward. In regard to the first , Mr. Adams Informed the committed that the land titles would bo settled on the return of Mr. Amos from Europe. Mr. Adams was heartily ashamed of the depot accommodations In the city nnd agreed that n now building to coat $75,000 would bo begun nt the earliest possible dato. As to building a northern road the In " company was "par- foot harmony with the Idea , but unfor tunately a law of congress precludes the company from constructing such n branch , which It would very much like to do. The law prevents the company from guaran teeing bonds , but It will assist in every way possible the enterprise in the hands of others. " Mr. Adams Interviewed the Laramlo- Itea yesterday. Iho first surveying party to locate the line of the Nebraska & Kansas railroad will start out next week. This la the narrow guago road mentioned heretofore in the BEE. The proposed road will start at Fairmont , Fillmore county , and run southeast to Burr Oak , Kansas. The business mon and farmers who are back ing the tchcmo , expect to get substantial returns for their Investments in reduced rates to Chicago nnd St. Louis. The Northwestern extension Is devour ing distance In northern Nebraska. The track will probably reach. Chadron by the 20th , but some delay la expe rienced with bridge building , the hard formation of the ground making It moro difficult to drlvo piles , The survey of the Chicago , Nebraska , Kansas & Southwestern railway , tbo pro posed route from Rei Cloud , via Dodge City , Kansas , to the Panhandle country in Texas , has already commenced and appearances Indicate that the projectors moan business. Nebraska City , It Is intimated , stands a good cbnnco of boln made the ob jective point of the Diagonal road of Iowa. This road is built from Des Molnoa to Rheinbeck , and the survey is completed to Had Oak. "What the pres ent plan of the company Is , " says the Nebraska City press , "Is unknown , but as it must strike the river somewhere- , nnd has abandoned St. Joseph , the re porter has It on good authority that No- braika City has as much of a chance to secure the road as she had In 1882 , and an equal chnnco with any other river point. A little sharp and energetic work at this time might win the prlz for the third city of Nebraska , and the "future roat" of thin section of Missouri country. Mr. David E. Breedlono nnd Mies Alice M. Crawford were married on Wednesday - day evening , July ICth , the llev. Charles W Savidge officiating. An elegant sapper was served. The wedding presonta wore handsomi j nnd mumerous.

Nothing of great Importance can bo said of this place , The railroad prjpcrty , Including depots , eating homy , ronnd honsa and dwellings for employes , la nil that can bo soon , The town Is situated on the Shoshone - shone Indian reservation.

A short time ago the Ban nocks were discovered stealing some ponies , which the authorises attempted to recover through the assistance of some Shoshonos.

The town is not of any grcnt importance in a business vlow , Eagle Rock la without donbt ono of the most prominent towns on the read.

I cannot rofraln from mentioning the manner In which the good loyal citizens of Eagle Hock cel ebrated the Fourth of July. The day was observed as only true Americans can. Harmony , loyalty and merry making were the greatest features of the day. Although comparatively a now country , Idaho presents opportunities enjoyed in the oast. It possesses many of the re ligions and social advantages of moro ad vanced eoctions. Its area Is greater than than that of .Now York , New Jersey , Massachusetts and Now Hampshire com bined. It Is being traversed by two of the greatest railway lines of the conti nent. The notable industry of Idaho is essentially the finding of precious min erals within its borders , and it owes Its first permanent settlement to these dis coveries. Many belts producing valua ble minerals have been only partially prospected , and many moro promising ones remain undeveloped , owing to the Inability to reach a market to distribute the products of one of the grotcut Ameri can territories. Snake rivermoandora through the east ern , southern and western parts for ever 1,000 miles , and next to Niagara Falls , boasts the most Imposing cataract on the continent. Through the southern portion tion Is the great volcanic belt , which averages fifty miles In width , nnd being an almost unbroken bed of lava. Ono of the most attractive features of the territory are the soda springs on the line of the railroad ( the Oregon Short line ) , about 145 miles west of Granger. Within radius of throe miles nro ecoros of largo springs , the waters ranging from Ice cold to warm , some of them being so highly charged with acids and gassea as to prove most pleasing beverage. Scores of invalids pay annual visits to this region take advantage of the curative poncra produced by those waters. A town of about 500 inhabitants , named cc after the springs , Is beautifully located in (1 ( what is known aa Spring valley. It la hi rapidly approaching prominence as one erwl the numerous western summer resorts , wl Going ! towards Granger the eastern in terminus of the Short line , MontpoHer , a la thriving little town of about 400 inhabi in tants , is passcJ , alter which ono travels through a barren , unsettled section until 50 Union Paslfio Is reached. 50W Western tourists need not hesitate to p3nd n season in Idaho and on joy n trip never ta beregrotio.1. The good cltizaus Bt Idaho are certainly tobe complimented the display of their good judgment In locating In the most desirable and ro tn mantic section of the United States. po Wii. 1 M.
