THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , DECEMBER 4 , 1808 ,
Donglu County Agricultural Society Holds
lU Annual Election ,
PICKAFjD FINALLY LANDS AS PRESIDENT
Difference ! of Limf Year Are Patched
Up , a New Confutation In Adopted
nd the Election of NCTT
Officer * Completed.
The Douglts County Agricultural society
net yeiMrday for the first tlmo since the
( esaloh one year ago , when the annual elec
tion of offlcers resulted In differences that
nearly broke up the organization. Yesterday
the member * patched up their dissensions ,
lected new offlcers with practical unanimity
and adopted a new constitution and by-laws
that are designed to avoid a repetition of the
trouble of the previous election.
The meeting was held In Board of Trade
hall and was attended by nearly 100 mem
bers , most of whom wcro sure enough farm
ers. There was a general Impression that
the fight of a year ago would break out In
a new spot , and this aroused more than
ordinary interest In the election. At the
preceding election G. R. Williams was elected
president of the society In opposition to
Oscar'J. Plckard. It was a fight between
the city and the country and the country
won. But Plckard's friends took the matter
Into the courts on the representation that' '
Williams' election bad been secured by j
fraud. No decision was ever reached , but
a deadlock was created that has prevented
any meeting of the society during the year.
Yesterday Plckard was ngaln a candidate
for the presidency and * the Omaha members
started out to boom H. F. Mclntosh ns an
opposition candidate. But before the meetIng -
Ing tbo differences were harmonized. Me-
Intosh was slated for treasurer and a slate
was made that went through without a I
break. I
Andrew Klcwlt called the society to order. I
The report of Treasurer B. D. Sullivan ,
I
showed that there was $284.93 on hand at' '
( he beginning of the year. The receipts
were $46.87 and the expenditures were
$ 158.94. This left a balance of $172.86 on
band , against which warrants aggregating
$28.49 are outstanding. The amount received
on account of the exposition was $1,000.
Of this $633.10 was expended and warrants i
mounting to $93 are still outstanding. The' 1
auditing committee , which consisted of
Philip Mergcn and Charles Wtttlg , reported
that tbo accounts of tbo secretary and treas
urer were correct.
Change the Conciliation.
Tbo election of officers was ordered and
O. J. Plckard's effort to spring the new
constitution and by-laws ruled out of order.
Mr. Plckard was then elected president
without opposition and be at once reversed
the ruling of bis predecessor and the report
of the committee on constitution and by-laws
was considered. The most notable change
In the constitution was a provision * that
three of the nine directors should be elected
for three years , three for two years and
three for one year , and that three should bo
.elected each year hereafter Instead of
, electing an entirely new board as hereto
fore. . This was fought on the ground that
elnco there would be six holdover members
on the board each year It would operate to ' '
develop a close corporation and to head off
any desired Investigation Into the manner
, ln which the business had been handled
during the preceding year. But the country
was in the saddle and the amendment was
, adopted. ,
t The new by-laws were adopted .without
opposition. They are similar to those pre
viously in force with the addition of a , sec
tion which prohibits members from paying
( be entrance fees of new members In order
to secure votes toward the -election of of
flcers.
The election of officers was then completed
ns follows : Vice president , E. H. Walker of
Florence ; treasurer , H. F. Mclntosh of !
Omaha ; secretary , G. W. Hervcy of Omaha ;
board of directors , for three years , Robert
Douglas , Elkhorn ; J. R. Watts , Waterloo ,
and George Drcxcl , Elk City ; for two years ,
John Armour , Florence ; P. P. Mergen , Ben-
eon , and Charles Qrau , Jefferson ; for ono
year , Fred Schroeder , Mlllard ; Herman
.Hoesslg , Douglas , and A. P. Akerlund , Val-
'ley. '
'ley.The
The florists made a vigorous appeal for
representation on tbo board and pushed
Lewis Henderson for the place. But It was
impossible to break the slate , and Hender
son was only able to show thirty-three votes ,
as against forty-nine for the ninth man
> elected. Other candidates received votes as
follows : W. J. Scott , 18 ; Frank Emerson ,
9 ; Richard Engelmann , 3 ; A. Davidson , 1.
KEY'S PAINTINGS ON SHOW

tlon Free to the 1'ulillc.
To those who delight to recall to mind
the beauties of the Transmlsslsslppl Expo
sition as they existed In the height of that
undertaking's popularity , a visit to tbc dis
play of John R. Key's pictures In oil of ]
the exposition will be a rare treat. But if the I
Impressions of the exposition were not suffi
cient to create a desire to see its principal
features reproduced on canvas , the beau >
tlful and artistic work shown Is of itself
worth the tlmo of those who love to look
upon tbc harmonious blending of color by a
recognized artist's band.
* Entering the court of The Bee building ,
and leading off to the right , you will find
the room in which Mr. Key is making his
display. The four walls of the room are oc
cupied by the pictures and the visitor has
an opportunity for making comparisons
with the pictures of the buildings and
scenes at the Omaha exposition and some
of those of the World's fair , which Mr. Key
also displays. Among the views of the
Tranamtsslsslppl Exposition shown are the
following : The Grand Court from the cast
end ; view from the west end of tbo Mines
building , bringing out the architectural
effects of some of the buildings and with the
gardening landscape clearly set out ; the
Midway procession on July 4 ; the Govern

SICK SCHOOL
A Teachrr Sprnka of the L'nnir.
I have charge of the second grade in the
public schools here and trace nearly every
case of headache among there children to
Improper feeding. When a sick child is
asked what was had for breakfast , the re
ply almost universally Includes a cup ot
coffee.
An Illustration is that of my sister's oldest
boy , Will Wilson ot Lennox , la. For a
lone time be had no appetite for breakfast ,
but insisted on coffee , which they would give
htm , weakened some with cream ; but no
matter how llttlo coffee ho bad , it brought
on bis bad spells. Since they have been
using Postum Food Coffee In their family ;
the boy is well and can have all ot the
Poatuui Coffee he wants for breakfast.
I was ordered by my physician to quit the
use of coffee some time ago , for my sick
pells were Directly traceable to It. but I |
could not quit its use until I found Postum. [
Then < he change did not disturb me in the
X slightest. The old troubles have disap
peared.
1 have a long list of friends who use Pos
tum and enjoy It very much , but in every
case they have had to learn that Postum
IB only good when It la bolted long enough !
to bring out the flavor. Margaret Scroggs ; ,

cither side by the state buildings ; Marino
band at the Grand Plaza ; Arch of States ,
with the Government building In the back
ground and at the right an approach to tbo
bridge over the Lagoon. These pictures are
all In the color work which ban made Mr.
Key's work celebrated and with the superb
lighting effects In the room seem almost real
In .their naturalness. In addition to thrco
pictures there arc portraits In color of sev
eral of the celebrated chiefs at the Indian
congress.

WOMEN'S MEE1INGS COMING

The Transralssleslppl Exposition managers
wcro In favor of paying more attention to
the Interests of tbo home aa represented by
woman's work than they gave outward
evidence of , so says one of those in author
ity. Certain things along those lines would
have coat a good deal and It was abso
lutely necessary from the outlook , at first ,

How the Connecticut Mutual Fay * .
OMAHA , Neb. , Nov. 2S. Mr. John Sylvan
Brown , General Agent Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Co. , Omaha , Neb. : Dear Sir
I acknowledge receipt of Now York draft
for $5,017.85 to tbe order of my daughter ,
Mrs. Offutt , In full payment of claim under
your policy No. 218,702 , Charles Offutt.
It having been said at times tb.it the Con
necticut Mutual would not pay suicide
claims , I am much pleased to state that it
Is the first company to mttle paying nut
only tbe face of the policy , but tht annual
dividend earned during the current y. ar as
well. The position your coainauy taies if-
carding suicides is , in my opinion , entirely
- ' . . ' that 'suicide
correct ; that Is , Itecognl'.i.'s
Is oftentimes Just , ao much the result of
disease as any other manner of death and
pays accordingly ; but , on the other hand ,
\\here suicide Is committed to rupture a
'policy , it Is as clearly a fund as If T man
burns his own house or e.ock of poods to
obtain fire Insurance , ind the olllcfr * of a
mutual llfo Insurance -lomyiny would bo
false to the positions of trust they occupy
wcro they to compel honest policy-holders to
contribute toward paying bueli claims.
I have carried a $5,000 life pollcv In tbe
Connecticut Mutual for thirty > iats. 1 do
not think that my premlu-ns have averaged
above $13.50 per $1,000 elm-la ? the entliu
period , and If , for any reason , I shoul I u < ver
nay another one , my estate would Bl 11 re
ceive something like $3JOO at my death.
Yours truly , OU. YOST

ton for f 17r .
The Nebraska state exposition building
and a large proportion of the furniture and
other material connected with the building
were sold at auction by J. V. Wolfe , state ,
' commissioner of public lands and buildings ,
yesterday afternoon. The sale was held In
the building and attracted quite a crowd
of bidders to the grounds. A number of
pieces of furniture were disposed of first
and then bids were called for on the buird-
Ing. After quite a lively competition It
was knocked down to John A. Templeton ;
of this city for $475. Mr. Templeton was ,
chief clerk of tbe Department of Buildings
and Grounds during the exposition and Is
now acting In a somewhat similar capacity
for the new owners of the property. H Is |
I consequently understood that ho acted for
I tbe promoters of the new enterprise In the ,
, purchase of the building ,
The sale of the various artlcfes In the
'
building was continued during tbe afternoon
and about $1,500 was realized , U was "I
P ° 3slblo to complete the Job yesterday and
Commissioner Wolfe adjourned the sale ,
until next Thursday at 10 o'clock. He ex
pressed himself as well satisfied with the
results so far and said that most of the
material brought considerably more money
than ho expected.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
City Attorney Montgomery and Senator-
elect Van Duscn have been requested to
draft a bill containing the amendments to
the charter , which it is expected will be
Introduced at the coming session of the
legislature. When the report of the sub
committee was .gone over In detail It waa
found that a number of suggestions had
been madei which were impracticable and it
has been deemed best to reduce the amend
ments to the smallest number possible.
Mayor Ensor's suggestion that a tax com
missioner bo appointed with a view to mak
ing a city levy Independent of the county
and state levy was adopted and this will
bo the principal feature of the bill of
amendments.
The subcommittee of the charter revision
committee had recommended that the
method of handling the police bo changed
so that all of the appointees bo confirmed
by the council and giving tbo council equal
authority with tbe mayor In tbo control
of the department. When this section came
j I up for discussion at a recent meeting of
1 , the committee Senator VanDusen objected
! to it and told why. Ho said that along
|
! ' about 1S83 the police force was governed
Jointly by the mayor and council and Just
as too many cooks spoil the broth too many
bosses disrupted the department. Then ono
member of the council would coma along
and order a policeman to do a certain thing.
I In a few minutes another councilman would
appear on the scone and countermand the
first order. The result was that an officer
did not know whose orders to obey and
consequently ho did nothing but draw his
breath and bis salary. It did not take
long to find out the condition of affairs un
der this management and an amendment to
the charter was secured giving the mayor
complete control of the pillce force. Other
members of the committee who remembered -
bered tbe experiences of a few years ago |
were In hearty accord with Mr. VanDuscn's
idea and It waa decided to omit the rccom-
mcndatlon In connection with the handling
of the police force. The idea of having
,
a tax commissioner nnd Increasing the val-
uatlon does away with the necessity for
an Increase in the fire and police levies and
these two sections were eliminated.
Another recommendation waa that the
,
' city attorney should bo elected. It was
thought by some members of tlio cornmit-
tec that if the office was made elective the
Incumbent would bo much more Independent
and would do bis duty In a more fearless
manner than if appointed by the chief excc-
utlve. This Idea was combated by some
members who asserted that by compelling
the attorney to enter pojltles and stand his
proportlcn of campaign expenses ho would
tie under obligations , more or less , to the
element responsible for his election. For
this reason and others of a similar nature
the recommendation that the city attorney
be elected was stricken from the report.
It was agreed , however , that the attorney
should bo appointed for a term of two
years and to bo removed only for cause.
This would virtually amount to an elec-
tlon , ns all city officers are elected for a
term of two years and It would still keep
the attorney out of politics.
It Is expected that Messrs. Montgomery
and Van Dusen will have completed the
drafting of the charter amendments by the
middle of the week. A meeting of the
council and the whole charter revision com
ralttee will bo held at the council cbam-
ber qn Thursday evening for the purpose
of submitting tbo bill. All residents and
taxpayers are urgently requested 10 attend
j this meeting , as it Is the desire to procure
amendments which will meet with the ap-
probation of a majority of the people ,
