    DECAPITATION IN SIGHT
Oonnty Attaches Wait Tremblingly for tlio
Commissioner's ' ax to fall.
HEADS FOR THE YAWNING BASKET
Dciiiotrntla Member * of tlic Itnnril ( let
Into n Hiiurl nnil Miiy Iliito to
Cull In it Uepiihllrnn to Help
Them Out.
Unless nil signs fall the heads of a num
ber of tbo county employes will drop Into the
ofllclal wasta basket with tbo coming hi of
next month. Cruel fata has maruod John
J , Mahoney , superintendent ot the poor
farm , Mike Leahy , engineer at the court
house , anil Oscar Slovens , clerk to the Board
of County Commissioners , for its own , The
cllo has boon cast and n light In the board Is
the only thing that will give these contlomon
n longer lease upon the positions which they
now occupy.
During the past month any number of
democratic slutos have boon made to bo
IT broken , the trouble bolng that Commissioners
| i- ' Paddock mid Van Camp each had a man for
each position. When the domocratlo caucui
was held some weeks ago It was agreed that
Mahoney , Looby nnd Slovens should hold
over until April 1. As soon as that agree
ment had been made tno three democrats
upon the board began to cast about for
friends to 1111 the position. Chairman
Tim mo was satisfied to roappolnt
the present Incumbents , but Paddock
and Van Camp did not feel thut way. Thov
argued that the retaining of the present In
cumbents would not strengthen the dome
cratlo party and that a change was neces
sary , After reaching that decision they
tried to agree upon the appointees , but so far
all attempts toward an" agreement hava
failed.
They object to Stevens and claim that ho is
too slow , and right In this connection County
Clerk Sackott Illcs an objection to Slovens.
The state law makes no provision
1,1 for a cleric to tha county board ,
IJ but Instead states that iho county
- clerk shall bo the responsible party. Sackott
argues that It ho is to bo responsible for the
acts of that man ho should have something
to say about who the party should bo ; therefore -
fore Mr. Sackott insists that the clerk to the
board should bo a dcputv county clerk , but
at thesamo tlmo ho declares that Stevens
can ncvor bo bis deputy.
\Vltb this state of affairs existing the dem
ocratic members are all nt sea and admit
that they can do nothing in the way of re
moving tbo men as the domocratlo bouao Is
divided against Itself ,
They , however , are figuring to got out of
the dilemma , and In so llguring they nro
about to take a republican Into their conll-
donco. Tills republican , if Major Paddock
can have his way , will not bo Judge Stcn-
borg , as tbo major and Stotibarg bavo had so
many bouts In commlttco-of-the-wholo that
tboy are not as friendly as two brothers.
Consequently the only hope rests with Ber
lin. While an understanding has not been
reached , a now slate is in couna of con
struction which Indicates that Paddock is to
nnmo ono man , Vun Camp another and IJor-
lin the third. Paddock and Van Camp will
selcctdomocratsforsuperlntondcntof the poor
farm and engineers at the court house and
jail , wbilo Berlin will confer with County
Clerk Sackett and agree upon iho clerk for
the board. _
PUREaFOOD IN CONOKESS.
Action Which Hns Itesultud In the Olllclitl
Ilctcrmlimtlon ol the llest linking 1'ondcr.
The act of congress authorizing the exami
nation of the baking ponders hns resulted in
a most unprecedented compliment to the
Royal Baking powder. The tests were made
in the government laboratory at Washing
ton , and the ofllcial report shows that the
Kov nils superior to oil others in leavening
strength bolng ovorSO per cent above the
average. The report shows the purity of the
Royal Powder and the wholesomeness of Its
ingredients.
This is probably the highest compliment
of an oflirlal character ever paid to n propri
etary article , though no moro than the great
army of baking powder consumers would expect -
poct In behalf of their old frioud and favor-
Uo.
Uo.Tho
The rosult.'of the ofllcial examination , as
thus determined will , of course , make the
Royal the standard for government pur
chases.
SCHEME FOB THE CONFERENCE.
Unvo Slnrcor Shown limy fiOO IclojiteH :
Can l\fi nntertiiincd Without Trouble.
"Of co'urso Omaha will entertain the Moth-
odlst conference , and royally , too , " remarked
Dave II. ftlercor yesterday to a representative
of THE BUB.
"I attended the mooting at the Grand
opera house on Sunday and was disappointed
in not seeing 5,000 Instead of 500 citizens
present : this did not augur favorably , and I
mot loss encouragement m tbo audience by
the conspicuous absentees. Many of these
who have grown wealthy out ot Omaha and
bavo little fear ot want in this world were
not present , aiding by their wealth a worthy
cause. But I still insist that Omaha will
glvo this exemplary boiiy a royal welcome.
" ? First Omaha has national
"Why , a rep-
utatlon as tbo homo of moro palatial bank
buildings than any other city In the union of
twice her slzo. In fact , sbo undoubtedly
ranks fourth In tnis rcspoct , bolng preceded
only by Now York , Philadelphia and Chi
cago. Tboso buildings are cbaractorlstlo of
the financial standing of these institutions.
Now these banks , national , state and savings ,
realizing that tbo pride of this magnificent
city U at stake , will gladly offer to entertain
100 dolegales a loss number would not re
ceive consideration. Then , the Methodist
people throughout the city will entertain a
like number , while members of other denom
inations will certainly ask the privilege of
administering to twice that number , The
hotels of the city , anxious to establish a rep
utation for Omaha as a convention city ,
thereby insuring to thomsalvos a largo in
crease of business year after voar ,
"
would surely entertain free of cost "fifty
of these di tlnguishod guests. Then , the
Omaha olub would like an opportunity to
how its generosity , and ton moro persons
would bo cared for , while the Board of Trade ,
Real Kstato Owners exchange ana
Mauufaciurcrs and Consumers association
would each entertain II vo gucsU ; then tboro
in our magnanimous sister city , Council
Blurts , only too anxious to ontorlaln fifty
moro. I have thus far located fJ'-ij persons ,
nnd very few people recognbod in the dis
tribution of these prUos. for it will not only
bo a pleasure but a privilege to entertain the
men ot character , ability and inlluonco who
attend Motbodtst conferences.
"Enterprising Kearney , a bundle of nerves ,
n corporation of ambition and enterprise ,
evorv corner lot bolng a monument to thilft
and Industry , has undertaken to entertain
000 delegates to a state convention , and she
will succeed even if obliged to appoint a com
mittee on entertainment of COO persons , with
each commlttooman to entertain ono guost.
In fact , the strife already among ICoarnoyltos
to see who can ontortaln the moil persons Is
to bitter that 1 fear the holding of the con
vention there will engender n very bad fool
ing among the citizens , for the reason that
ono person has the opportunity of entertain
ing more guests than his neighbor.
"Omaha should cease her doublings ,
'Actions speak louder than ivords.1 Immedi
ately obtain entertainment for 600 people for
the month of May , aud publish to Iho world
n complaint that 500 more were oxpeotnd , I
trust that all who como may bo royally enter
tained , and that Oraaba will establish for
nil tlmo to come her right and tlllo to the
the 'coavontlon city.1 "
