Captain B , W. Hlght yesterday received
his commission from the president ns super
visor of the eleventh United States census for
the third district of Iowa , which comprises
twenty six of the counties of the Seventh ,
Eighth ami Ninth congressional districts , or
nil of the counties lying south of the line
from Harrison to Polk and west from line
from Polk to the Missouri stuto lino. It will
now bo bis duty to recommend census enum
erator * for tuis largo district , and the prob
ability U that they will number between
four and five hundred. They will bo ap
pointed by the gonurul superintendent of the
ccuius , General liobort It. 1'ortor ,
upon the recommendation of Cap-
lulu UigUt , under c ruin conditions
and In compliance with the Intructlons from
tlio superintendent and the requirements of
tho. law. The present census net differs
from that of 1870 In the addition of certain
specified features. 'i'hcso consist , first , In
extending the classification of the colored
population no at to distinguish between
blacks , mulattocs , quadroons and octoroons ;
second , in the enumeration of a gpcci.il
schedule of tlio numcs of organizations and
length of service ol nil persons who served
In the nrmy , navy or marl'io corps of the
United States during the war of the robol-
llon.'aml tlm widows of soldiers , sailors or
marines ; and third , the collection of statis
tics of recorded Indebtedness of private cor
porations and Individuals. The biw pro
vides that In the formation of districts
the amount of territory assigned to any ono
enumerator shall not exceed 4,000 Inhabit
ants , according to estimates based on the
tenth census. In cities of over 10,000 t > y the
last census , whore Oio law requires the
enumeration to bo completed within two
weeks , the enumeration districts mav comprise -
priso an estimated population of from 2.000 to
3,000. The law docs not require that every
enumerator shall be employed nil the tlmo
allowed by law , but the Instructions suggest
that the more quickly the census Is taken the
butter it will bo tnkoti.
In tlio Important matter of appointment of
enumerators Captain Ilight will bu obliged
to follow specific Instructions , which arc , In
brief , that each person selected for each sub
division shall bo n resident thereof , atvl shall
bo selected lololy with reference to * Illness ,
nnd without reference to political nflllmtions ,
"provided , that In the appointment prefer
ence shall , In all cases , be given to properly
qualified persons honorably discharged from
the military or naval service of the United
States residing In tnclr respective districts "
Under thcso provisions the work will
about all bo done by old soldiers. In cities
like Councl' ' Bluffs nnd Dos Molncs two
enumerators will be required for each ward ,
and ono for each township in the couutlcs.1
The work commences on Juno 2 , and must
be ull completed before July 1.

J'ho School Election.
The school election yesterday was rrfther
tauio compared with the ono the week be
fore , yet there was sufficient Interest mani
fested to cause the polling of a vary large
vote. The only contest was between Messrs.
Wnlto and Elwoll , as Lawson was not In the
race , nnd Mr. Wells was not scratched at
all. There were several who voted the citi
zens' ticket who substituted Elwoll's name
for Walto , but there were many more who
voted the democratic ticket and scratched
Lawson for U'olls. The only effort was to
defeat Lawson. and when that was assured
everybody was apparently satisllod. The
only contest was made in the Second ward ,
Where several challengers were at work
during the day , but there were very few
illegal voters who tried to deposit a ballot.
It was very quiet and orderly around all the
polling places , and oxcout in their immediate
vicinity there was no indication that an elec
tion was in progress.
The returns came in early nnd but little
time was required to count tlio vote on ac
count of the little scratching that was dono.

A Boy's Trick.
Some of the readers of TUB BEE wore
yesterday morning surprised at finding
folded in their paper the democratic ticket.
The well-known policy of THE Bun in sup
porting the citizens' candidate for the school
board seemed hardly consistent with this
kind of a scattering of democratic tickets.
It appears that ono bf the sons of Lawson ,
thu democratic nominee , took advantage of
his position as manager of the carriers nt
that early hour In the morning , nnd had the
papers thus packed ut the Council Bluffs
office. It is evident that the young Lawson -
son is rattier ol a chip , and the old
block doubtless was not far away. The
only harm done by the boyish trick was to
the beardless politician himself , who will
now hunt for some new Job. It seems that
the scheme wan not con lined to Tin : linn , as
not only young Liwson but several others in
the employ of the boy's father were engaged
In n conspiracy to float the tickets. 'Taking
ndvnntage of his position on the school
board , the older Lawson required thu Janitors
of snmo of tlio school buildings to turn
out ut an early hour for tins purpose.
They were K'VOII ' tickets and ordered to
waylay the cnrrium ot other morning papers
as they loft their various oftlces , and bribe
them to distribute the tickets with their
papers , The pitm worked lu nearly every
instance , and the regular newsboys were
also Included ( n the scheme. U simply
shows whttt desporalo chances Lnwson was
willing to take to bo rn-olootod , and the cit
izens of the Hindu may well congratulate
themselves because when the votes were
counted thu Individual who would stoop to
such despicable work was overwhelmingly
snowed under.

the motor company bud expressed Its deter

was In favor of letting the citizens Interested
tight the motor company for the recovery

In the murder trial yesterday the defend
ant nnd n number of witnesses were exam
ined on some minor points. The Interest of
the day centered in the testimony of the defendant -
fondant , Hov. Mr. Holmlck , who told his
story of the shooting of Palmer.
Ills narration was in accordance with the
dofcnso as already outlined In Tun HUE. Ho
had been native In the suppression of sa
loons in Neola. Numerous throats against
him had reached his oars , among which was
one that he was to bo attacked when -his
family was away from homo. Hn had been
warned that 11 ho did not keep still ho would
be made n second Haddock. On Satur
day night before the shooting bo
was alone in the house , his family
being in Taylor county. Ho stepped
out of bis house about 10 o'clock nnd was
nssailod by a shower of eggs. Ho yelled at
the egg throwers , who ran away , down the
street. The following night , August 19. he
was out in the country attending a wedding.
Returning oo horseback nboutlOo'ulook , his
horse shlod ns ho entered the alley in the
rear of his barn. As ho noarcd the barn he
noticed two forms moving about in the dark
ness Inside nnd ho called to them , "Who are
you ? What are you doing In my barni" Ko-
celvlng no answer ho ugain shouted , "Got
out of my barn. " Ho received no other re
ply than a missile , which struck him violently
on the shoulder. Ho did not knovv at the
time what the missile was , but It proved
afterwards to have been an egg. The min
ister at once draw his revolver and fired.
Ills horse startled and ran up the alley.
The defendant testified that he did not
know who the parties were at the time. It
was too dark for him to distinguish per
sons , though only eight foot away.
The state's attorney beean n rigid cross-
examination , but little was elicited of in
terest.

exploits were related in Saturday's BCK.
While residing hero Crowo was not a arink-
ing man , but would at times indulge In the
most irrational outbursts of temper that

mind. Sinoo reading the nccounts of his
shooting scrape in Chicago his South Omaha
friends are moro convinced that his mind
hns boon moro or loss unbalanced for some
time.

DBXVEH , Colo. , March 10. Tno Master's ,
report in the celebrated'coso of T , C. Henry'
ngalnst tha Travelers' Insurance company of
Hartford was filed today , Tbo report finds
u cash balance duo llonry of $02,500 and that
there should bo returned to him collaterals
aggregating ever $1,900,000 , and orders the
cancellation of Henry's ' obligations , The
muster finds ttmt these obligations have been
paid to the Travelers' Insurance company
by tbo reception of tbo bonda of various
irrigation companies of Colorado with which
Henry has boon connected. All claims made
by the Travelers' Insurance company for tha
misappropriation by Henry in Kansas nnd
Colorado are rejected by tha master. This
result affects most of the agricultural dis
tricts and changes the legal status of moro
than half of thn largo Irrigating canals of

day In the United States circuit court
against tbo Travelers' insurance company
for $500,000 damaged for tbo illegal solzuro
