Tho figures of the population aro the
result of a careful computation by means of
tho latest tabulating machines.
Bulletins will bo Issued shortly for tho
various minor civil divisions In tho illfter
ont states and territories as fast as pes
bU.o. Tho entire number, It Is hoped, will
bo roady for the public uao before tho lUst
of January.
The early completion of tho tabulation of
tho population of the states enables tits
census office to submit tho figures to con
gross us soon as It convenes in December;
thus giving that body the Information nec
essary to dispose of the question of re
appointment of representatives nt the com
ing session. All the rieldwork of the
twelfth census, so far as It relates to the
collection of the data relating to popula
tion, agricultural, vital statistics and man
ufacturers Is now complete.
It is tho aim of the officials In charge of
tho work to push tho tabulation of the re
turns ro as to give the complete reports
to the public In accordance with the law,
which requires that they shall be Issued
July 1, 1902. Un to this ilato the number of
schedules received relating to agriculture
Is about 5,800.000.
Tho chief statistician In charge of the de
tails relating to tho manufactures, report?
nt this time that his work Is practically
nlshed, and that he has collected something
over Ci'l.OUO HCnedules, as against 355,000, In
the former decade, thus showing n large In
crease In this part of the work. By means
or tho ' plan adopted in this census the
nffico has been enabled' to complete the
fleldwork concerning manufactures more
than a year earlier tnan'tvas done ten' years
ngo. It required nearly eighteen month
In tho Inst census to collect the manufact
uring schedules, but as a result of the
efforts of thoro In charge of this census,
practically all of tho data Is now In con
trol of tho office.
Tho enumerators' accounts, numbering
somuthlng over 53,000 havo all been paid,
with tho exception of fifty-five whoso uc
counts are held up for technicalities. In
tho last census It took eight or ten months
to pay nil tho enumerators. All tne super
visors havo been paid with the exception
of n. few, which have been delayed for
various reasons.
Tho cost of tho administration nf the
censun bureau un to this date, including
the expense Incident to tho preliminary
work, as well as the cost of the enumera
tion and supervision, Is $6,361,961, of which
over $4,000,0(10 has been expended for sup
ervision and enumeration.
The fleldwork having been completed,
every effort will now bo mado to comply
with the law regarding the publication of
the roports concerning the four general
topics as named. The bulletins thus far
lrsued have been given to the public al
most a year In advance of those given out

ARMY OFFICERS PLEASED
Appointment of General I'ltzhiiKh I,ee
la Wholly Acceptable at
lleadqunrters.
The appointment of General Fltzhugh
Leo to tho command of the Department of
tho Missouri Is especially gratifying to tho
attaches of tho army headquarters,
several of whom served with him
during the Cuban campaign. Tho
appointment will add lmportauco to
the department, for whllo General
Mcrrlatu, tho present commander, Is
his senior, he is looked upon as com
mander of the Department of Colorado,
with the duties of tho Department of tho
Missouri added to his work. General Lee
will bring wl(h him ono aide and It Is pos
sible that his appointment will cause
somo changes lu tho general staff, though
not In tho immediate future.
The officers who havo a personal acquaint
ance with tho general speak highly of him
as a gentleman and a commander. Cap
tain Arrasmith was commissary officer of
General Lee's command for a tlmo In Cuba
and was In his mess during that tlmo. He
says the general is a man who gains the
'admiration, confldouco and love of tho offi
cers and men under him. Captain Erwln,
also a personal acquaintance, Joins the
others In paying trlbuto to his high sol
dierly qualities. Among tho clerks at
headquarters several served immediately
uuder General Lee, notably Captain Town
send and Mr. Parmclco, who wero with tho
army in Cuba. They aro very well pleased
to come again uuder the command of the
general,
In addition to his own servlco General
Lee has two sons In the army of tho United
States, one In Cuba and tho other In San
Francisco, where he has recently arrived
from Manila, being sent to America on
sick leave. This son will soon arrive In
Omaha on his way east and If It is known
that his father will report at tho head
quarters of the department In time an at
tempt will be made by friends to have
father and son meet In Omaha,

moro than a passing glance wero thoso of tho
old colonial stylo In exact duplication of

of a number ot handsome pieces of furnituro
to the value of moro than $300. Each
woman upon entering tho store was pre
sented with a roso and a ticket marked
with n number. Certain ot these numbers
corieipsnded to numbers attached to article!

whero tho money came from, but I had
plenty of Intelligence that it was being
used In all parts ot tho state.
"From tho reports of our committeemen
last night I was relieved to learn that not
a single vote had been affected by this
eleventb-hour fuslonlst prodigality. Tho
Bryan voters who havo como to us are
moved by conviction and can't bo swayed
by any sudden show of silver. They aro

draws near. I havo no reason to alter my
estimate of a majority for McKlnloy In

Tho national committee was represented
by G. N. Wlswell, a promlnont Milwaukee

In the South.
At the mcctlne of thn Hlrtii u'r,i i
publican club last nlBht the principal
apeucn was aeuvercd by Dr. O. W. Bryant
of Washington, who devoted his time to
discussing tho issues of tho present cam
paign from tho standpoint of tho negro.
Ho stated that tho trnxt n
called upon by tho negroes to tako somo
acnoa in regard to the action of tho south
ern states in disfranchising tho negroes
and that It would be necessary for tho
negroes to obtain tuntl
llcans have, n majority in that body. "It
.n Uut a question or. men," said tho speaker,
but a question ns to whether the two sena
tors from Nebraska are to voto with 'Pitch

auurcsscs ana 1'rea M. Votings, candldato

MERCER AND OMAHA LABOR
Substantial Recognition fill en When
It Keully Counted for
Something;.
"I know Davo Mercer Is always, tho
friend of labor and especially of Omaha
labor," said B. J. Jobst, tho well-known
contractor and builder. "When I secured
tho contract for tho interior flniah of tho
basement, first floor, second floor and tho
approaches of the new federal building,
Mr. Mercer wrote me the following letter:
Washington, J). C Jan. 21, 1S97 It. J.
Jobst, Omaha. Dear Sir I trust that you
will give preference to Omaha men nnd
material! In fulfilling your contract with
tho government I used that argument In
your behalf. Such a course Is truly patri
otic and will bring Its reward. Tho only
way we enn build up Omaha Is by helping
her people. Yours, D, II. MI3ROBR.
The reader will obsorvo that this lottor
Is dated January 21, 1S97, nearly throe
years ago.
ALIi EYBS FIXED OX NEnitASKA.
Whole East Interested In Outcome of
the Voting Next Week,
John F. Hogan, who has traveled exten
sively through tho east during the last few
weeks, romarked to tho state republican
commltteo yesterday that the battlo this year
is ail in tno west and that Nebraska Is the
center of all eyec. "North and probably
South Dakota, Oregon, California, Kansas
and likely enough Nebraska will be tor Mc
Klnley this year and all the east, oxcopt
New York, shows no change from the con
ditions of four years ago. In Nebraska I
have found that populism, that creature of
tho hard times, Is dying out and a good,
healthy republican sentiment taking its
place.
"A straw showing that prosperity Is no
myth came up In a conversation I had last
week in Chicago with Vlco Prosldent
George B. Harris ot the Burlington sys
tem. Tho point arose ns to tho number of
tho road's employes this year and in 1806
and upon looking the matter up his secre
tary found that four years ago, on July 1,
the road supported 23,000 men and this year
35,000. Four largo systems entorlng Chl
cngo which Mr. Harris was familiar with,
would, altogether, he said, provide work
for 60,000 more employes in 1900 than In
189C.
"From lusldo Information which came to
mo in Now York a conservative estimate
Is that the democrat will not go up to the
Harlem river with over 20,000 majority at
the outside. Whllo Tammauy's Influence
may mako an Inroad on the 208,000 major
ity, tho stato la still wholly safe for Mc
Klnley. Illinois farmers will more than
make good for any stand-off or small ad
vantage tho democrats may bo ablo to se
cure, in Cook county and Ohio and Michigan
will roll up their old-time majorities. The
strike ma cause some defection from re
publicanism In Pennsylvania, but tho old
majority there of 305,000 will not be Hf
fectcd enough to do any harm,"
Speaker Henderson at Cincinnati,
CINCINNATI, Oct. SO. The republicans
had a parade with fireworks here tonight,
Muelo hall's Beating capacity of 5,000 would
not hold nil wanting to hear Speaker Hen
derson and Corporal Tanner and there was
a large overflow meeting In tbo adjoining
park.

ft general acquaintance among employes of

Moines and Rock Island, nnd I know of my
own personal knowlcdgo that only ono of

Standoff lu llnrlnn Onnntr.
Thomas Neff and R. Foss, republican
committeemen from tho populist county of
Harlan, whore crops have partially failed
and an adverse majority of 317 confronts
republicans, are lu tho city not a whit dis
couraged regarding their uphill labor.
"Wo mny not be able to show much of a
majority for McKlnley, but wo have actual
facts to provo that the result will be no
worse than a standoff. Although tho crops
havo been poor In our southwestern cor
ner ot tho state the farmers aro In no
distress. They havo money In the bank
nnd their mortgages have been largely
provldd for. We aro going back and
spend the time until election making per
sonal visits among the farmers, most of
whom aro Swodcs or Danes."

L. Frost, a young man who claims Pen

ablo to mako change, whereupon Frost
presented another bill of the' same denomi

aroused suspicion and Patrolman Story was
called. The young man could not toll n
satisfactory story and was sent to tho
police station for Investigation.
