A verdict of murder and a recommenda

how, ware returned by Coroner Heaf ey'a
Jury which investigated the death of little
Othello Ratllff, the colored boy found dead
at the KeJlom.ach.6ol Tuesday morning.

In company with Batliff a aiater on the
day before and the night of Buffalo Blll'a

Imial Tfcoorto Addoee.
Numerous ideaa of how the boy met his
death wera breaurht out by the testimony
at the Inquest. ' Doteetrrea Malonoy and
Van, Deusea and also r. A. D. Dunn,
who' made the autopsy, declared they
thought the wounds on the lad's head had
been mado by the shoe of a home. The
detective went further with the theory
and aald that perhaps after the boy had
been hurt, ha had been taken from where
the aocident happened and plaoed on the
school grounds so that his Injury or death
would not be' charged to the show people.
The cry of a man near Twenty-third
and Nicholas . streets, within a block of
where Othello Ratllff was found dead.
was heard by Policeman Dudley at 11
o'clock Monday night while, he waa walk
Ini his beat, on Cuming street
"Don't, do that!'.' Uje voice exclaimed
with an oath. ,
Officer Dudley thought little of It at
tbe time and said nothing of the matter
until he reported , for, duty at, ,th police
station Tuesday afterooon-, ' Ha aaya that
from the sound of the voice, It belonged
to a colored man, , as the voice waa of
negro accent and deep. . . ,
That the boy did not die at once, but
lingered' some time, was ascertained by
the examining physicians. They, ventured
the opinion that perhaps the boy ' had
been left half burled In dirt, bricks and
rubbish While he still lived.

No arrangements will d made for taking
the census In the Second congressional dis
trict until the fore part of October.
Assistant Director of the Census Hunt,
from Washington, called on Charles L.
Saunders, supervisor of the census for this

aa the census will not be taken until April
of next year, and Mr." Saunders will wait
until he gets his commission and has re
ceived the . necessary documents' and
blanka for taking the censua.
The supervisor does not as yet ' know
how many enumerators will be required,
or what each numerator will be paid. Mr.
Hunt told him that' the department would
furnish the plan of the last census and
that he could follow that as to the ar
rangement of districts or not. aa he chose.
Interpreters of several languages will be

of $8,904,537 over a year ago.
The comptroller of the currency has la

Omaha banks are becoming the wonder of

country, and has passed many larger

A comparison of the deposits of the
banka for the year shows that the Omaha
