THE OMAHA D/VILY BEE ; . THURSDAY , JANUARY H 38 2. THREE DEMOCRATS DID IT , County Employes Chosen by tbo Commis sioners at Yesterday's Session. NOTHING 'THERE FOR A REPUBLICAN. lclRO Stcnbrrg Mulcr * u I'ow tin HID Molt * , hut the Hlnto Went Tliroiifili-.r. J. Miihonry nnil \ VlfoVorc Ito-clcctcil. The two republican members of the Board of County Commissioners put In their tlmo yesterday afternoon In helping to shulco the political fruit trees , while the throe members with democratic proclivities stood around and gathered upovory one of the plum * . The meeting was opcucd by County Clorlt Sackutt reading a petition asking that Dr. R. W. Council bo appointed county physi cian. The petition wont to the table , there to slumber during the far-reaching future. Dan Dailoy VIM on hand with on appllca- tlon and was appointed constable of Union precinct to fill a vacancy. Judge Stan berg scented game and In speak ing upon n question of privilege stated that it had not been the custom to call upon the chairman to vote , unless It was to decide u lie. lie wanted the chair to bo placed on record in order to shuro the responsibility equally with the other members. Major Paddock could llnd no law to excuse the chairman from voting , and It was decided that In the future his vote should bo recorded for or against each and every proposition. .Some Koittlno Work. Tbo oniclal bond of John P. Henderson , member of the Soldiers'Relief commission , was presented and approved. County Treasurer Irey in a com- municqlion informed the board that ex- County Treasurer Snyder had drawn the full salary of the oil Ice to January 0 , but hud failed to comnleto the records to that dnto. Iroy asked the board to in vestigate the matter and take some stops in the promises. The whole matter was re ferred to tun committee on judiciary , to re port at the next regular mooting. Thn clerk stated that ho had two petitions and Mr. KOI lln asked that they bo road for the Information of the board. Ono was asking for the removal of John J. Mahouoy from the position of superintendent of the county poor farm , and the other xvos requesting the board to till the vacancy by appointing Daniel Burr. Kaeli petition was signed by TOO taxpayers ot the city and county. Major Paddock moved that they lay Jipon tbo table. ' Mr. Berlin wanted them considered , but upon the table they wont , assisted there by the votes of Messrs. Paddock , Van Camp and Chairman Tlmmo. Following the disposition of the motion was where the three democratic members got in their clcvor fruit picking , leaving Mr. Berlin and Judge Stonberg to hold the sack. Major Paddock started the political ball to rolling by moving that the board proceed to tbo election of eou.ity employes. ConinioiUTtl the Clrciift. The motion was carried by n strict party vote , and reaching into his pocket Chairman Timmo drew forth a paper , llosald that the auditor would bo the llrst man to bo elected. Mr. Berlin suggested that the chairman read his entire slate , as it would save tlmo. The remark not calling for any reply , Mr. Van Camp placed John T. 10vans in nomina tion for the position. Major Paddock took time to second the nomination , after which Mr Berlin stated in emphatic terms that the statutes of the state did not provide for a county auditor. i ' That makes mo tired , " remarked Chair man Tiuimo. ai ho rested his elbow upon the table and looked out over tub atTdlenco. Mujor PnddocK opining that the chair was in deep water told Mr..Beriln that the chair man was not holding down his position to bandy , wtrds with u member of the board. "Will you s'hojv mo tlio authority for ap pointing an auditor } " asked Mr. Berlin. "Wo had one before and I see no reason vrhywo do not need one now , " responded the chairman , "and besides , wo have nn opinion from the county attorney. In which ho Informs us that wo have authority to cmnloy all the help necessary thut the trans action of public business tnav bo expe dited. " "I grant that it 1s true that wo need an auditor , " continued Mr. Berlin , "but will you show mo the law , or oven that opinion to which you rofori" "I demand the reading of thut opinion , " exclaimed Judge Stenhorg. The clerk wont on n tour of exploration , but returned without the law or the opinion. Juxt u T.lttlu lilt t'urson.il. Mr. Berlin offered to eat and digest the hat of any member who would show him cither the law which had been referred to or the opinion spoken of. . Major Paddock did not want to take up the time of the board , but thought the law implied that the board bad a right to elect its auditor when the books spoke nf employing help. The - - necessary npnolnlmont-Ol- audjtor would rgCCfe with public approval and * "uo person would roiso the question of au thority. The major wanted to ask ivlr. Berlin n question , but Mr. Berlin would not answer without it came through the chair. Major Paddock grow oxcltod. The two men glared at each other and discussed the question of who said tbo most when they opened their mouths. Major Paddock Insisted that the old board had done many things without authority of law. The members bud voted transportation to paupers , when there was not a word of law to justify such an expenditure of monoy. Mr. Berlin admitted the truthfulness of the charge , but explained that It was cheaper to transport than to keep thorn in the poor house. Mr. Van Camp Insisted that the two mem bers hire a hall and there continue their de bate. bate.Tho previous question was moved and Chairman Tlmmo asked , "how will you vplo ! " "I want a yea and nay vote , that every man may go on record. " answered Mr. Berlin. "I suppose that Is the quickest way out of this , " mused the chairman. All of the members except Mr. Berlin voted "yea' ' on Evans' appointment. THO ( 'oiiiity Doutoi-N Chosen. "The next on my sheet is county physi cian , " spoke the chairman. "I nominate J. W. Kitig , " sold Major Paddock. "I nominate Dr. Conuell. " responded Mr. Berlin. "What has become of the application- the other doctors ! " aslicd Jndiro Stonborg. They are on file , " answered the clerk. "You will now vote for your choice , " com- tuanded the chair. The veto was called. Berlin and Stonborg voted for Council , while Paddock , Van Camp and the chairman voted for King , "Declare the result , " Interposed Major Puddocv. as Chairman Timmo hesitated. "Ktiib's got it , " smiled the chair. Chairman Tlmiiio snict that assistant county physician wus next upon hU slate and Van Camp nominated Dr. Wllcox. Judge Stonborg declared that there was no necessity for the county physician having in UBtlstnnt. If ho did the physician would draw hl talary , attend to his private prac tice and the assistant would look nfter the county slclc. To him It looked like creating an oflica In order to give some man a job , Times were hard and it was tlmo to retrench Instead of adding more tax-caters tu the county pay roll. Chairman Tlmmo Insisted that the board did the tame thing last yoar. "Don't put that up at us , " retorted Judge Stonberg. "Lost your you hod n democratic board and jou have bankrupted the treasury. " More dlscusvlon followed , after which tUo election ot Wllcox was currlou by the three democratic members voting "yea. " Mr. mid Mr * . Muhouey ItetiiluiMl , Major Paddock sugcentod that the remainder - , der of the ofllcors bo elected and continue to serve until April 1 , IbW , The suggestion was adopted. Major Paddock nominated Mike Leahy for engineer at the court houto. Leahy wus elected , the three democrats standing by lilm. lilm.Then came the election of a superintendent At the poor fuirn. Mojorl'aadocU nornlnatsd J , J , Mnhonev and Mr. Berlin presented the name of Dan Burr. ' Shall wo vote for tbo matron nt the name tlmo ! " asked the chairman , Major Paddock thought not. If Burr was elected Mrs. J , J. Mabonoy , who was n can didate , might not care to remain out there Under bis administration. Judge Stonberg InsUtcd that the petition aiklng for Mahonoy's removal should bo con sidered. Five hundred of tno heaviest tax payers In the county had asked It and they were entitled to some consideration. Besides this , ho wat elected upon an issue demand ing the removal of Mahonoy. The talk counted for naught when the roll wus called , Paddock , Vnn Camp and Chairman Tlmme voted to retain Mubonoy. The vote to retain Mrs. Mahoncy an mlitron was the same. Paddock nominated Thdttus Mullen as clerk at the poor farm. "Do you propose to elect oil of the dUh- washnrs mid chambermaids out at the hos- plta'.j" asked Judyo Slcnbnrir. There was no reply , but when the roll was called Mullen wus elected by the same democratic majority that had existed during the whole after noon. Cutting Dounh.iliirli-H , That closed the election of employes and then Mr. Berlin offered n resolution reduc ing salaries In the treasurer's ofllco. It provided for cutting the deputy from $ .2,100 to f IbOO per annum ; the bookkeeper from 51,800 to tl.SOO ; thu llrst assistant from J1.SOO tofl00. with ihu same cut upon the second nssHtant. Ho said the udvanco of salaries took iilaco on February 'Jl. IS'JI , under dem ocratic rules , ur.d ho simply wanted to place them where they wctu prior to that date. The resolution was leferrod to the commlt- tco on ( limnco. Mr. Boilin offutcd another resolution , which was adopted , reducing the salary of the matron of the county hospital fiom f 10 to ? ; . " > per month. Vnn Camp wus the only man who voted "no. " The resolution to reduce the salary of the deputy county cjerk from flOO to $ S3 per month was referred to the committee on llnanco. The salary of this onicer was raised from $ S3 to * IOO per month on February 21 , IS'JI , and under di'iuncratlo rule. Mr. Berlin called up the communication from the Real Estate Owners association received r.nd placed on lllu January C , 18SU. It referred to salaries and supernumeraries employed about the court house , and de manded a g'nncral weeding out of unneces sary clorxs. The document not being found , Its consid eration was postponed until this afternoon , when the board will hold another meeting. i.rrr : \Vluit It If ) nnil Why U 'Must Do raid for at n Tnlr Itsitii. Ill your resolutions inurkinp out dif ferent lines of good conduct for thoonrly year , Imvo you included tlio determina tion to insure your life in ca&o you are not already a policy holder ? If not , you have overlooked the gravest mistake in your catalogue ot errors to bo reformed , nnd should hasten to rectify the wrong sit onco. It setting about it do not , because you can recall instances where men's fami lies have lind largo sums of money paid them in return for n very small outlay , enter upon the matter with an idea of getting something for nothing. Dlsa- bubo your mind of tlio idea of cheap life insurance. There is , in u certain sense , no such tiling. It is a commodity of specific value that must ho paid for if possessed. It is n system not hasod upon chance , hut on the unaltorahlo laws of nature ana mathematics. Tnkinir the uvorago longevity of men , rhathematic- ' ally demonstrated from youth to ex treme ago , as a basis , it says that a cer tain sum is necessary to bo deposited against the payment of your own policy , or 'that there must bo an over increasing rate of premiums , else the total amount iigrced upon caiinot bo pafd. It is ttrub it dms not deal with 'individuals as sepa rate integrals , but with each individual as an aggregate of his cluss , who is always figured to live out the fullest ex pectation of his ( riven longevity ; there fore the aggregate individuals pay the full. sum assured to each integral mem ber , howoyor hricf his term of life may ho. In this wise the companies are able to meet the exceptions to the general rule , nnd sometimes nay largo amounts of money for the very small sums re ceived from the shorter-lived insurants. Depend upon it there can ho no cheaper trustworthy life insurance than this. If there was. or could ho , the active competition of the regular Amer ican life insurance companies would have found it , and their enterprising agents would have boon soiling it long before this.

In factthoy do not intend to return li at all , ana thereby tilings a tiilo. It appears from the stories of both sides that Norton Bros. , about a month ilgo , had their last final cstlmalo for $10,403.70 al lowed lor graillng. It was speclllcd , how ever , thut Sl , 4l.lf > , the amount uue for the KrnUliiK of Intersections , .should bo paid out of the special fund for that purpose , which conies from the county. This latter fund is now exhausted and will not bo replenished until July or August. Tuesday Norton Bros , presented their final estimate to City Clerk Kynti , mid glanelnn at the total , * 10,40 > .70 , he turnoJ over Hint amount , not noticing that It was marked "loss $1.741. 15. " ' The Nortons smilingly shoved the bulging rolls of bills into their pockets and said nothing. Yesterday In looking over the , bills al lowed yesterday Hyan noticed that ho hid overpaid the proper amount and throwing on tils coat and hat liu rushed out breathlessly to llnd Norton Bros. Ho found them , but when ho explained the mlsiako to thorn and asked for a return of the tnorK'y they coolly Informed him that thay Know of the error , that they had the money and nropotod to keep It. "Why I will have to pny this out of my own pocket , " suld the city clerk. "No matter. The city engineer has cut down our estimates futiy thauuuuh and that nmkos us about oven. " 'But you will get your ontmato allowed ' for tho' intersections nil right , " continued Uyan. 1 "yes , but the money is several months off and a bird in the hand Is worth two In the bush. " ' 'So you won't return this $1,7411" "Not mucn. " Arguments , entreaties , threat ? , all availed nothing. Consequently Ityan rushed to the police court and caused the arrest of the two contractors on tlio charge of grand laroony. They were arraigned and pleaded not guilty. The hearing was sot for today and tlio jutlpo fixed their bonds at 91,000 each. They refused to give any bonds and the jailer es corted them baclc to a cell and prepared to unlock the door to incarcerate them. At this juncture Mavor Sloano interfered and declared that the prisoners must not be locked up but must remain in the court room Bunder guard. Consequently Ofllcor Loonoy was delegated to keep watch over them. Friends of the person concerned dcclaro that the matter can bo settled with out any trial and recommend that tno coun cil allow the bill and when the money docs como from the county to transfer it to the fund overdrawn and thereby protect the cleric from a loss of Si.TM. Other persons oppose this move and say it Is unbusinesslike and establishes a bad precedent. That the Sutont of Norton Bros , was wrong and that they should DO punished for it If the money Is not returned. _ The IC.iron'H Suit. J. D.
