TIIE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THURSDAY , Appointments Connected with SUto Batben' Boird Give Dissatisfaction , .LANCASTER . AND DOUGLAS ARE LEFT OUT Governor Hefimen to HeeoRiiIre Local ity from Which the lllll CreatlnK the Hoard Urlulnntnl , Hence Thcue Team. LINCOLN , Juno 14. ( Special. ) Governor Poynter Is again being made the object of Homo rather severe criticism on account of appointments , this time In connection with the State Barbers' board , the secretaries of which were chosen about a. week ago. The board proper is comprised of Governor Poyn ter , Auditor Cornell and Attorney General Kmyth nnd the secretaries appointed are Joseph Thummond of West Point , D. J. Fitz gerald of Indlanola and Dr. H. M. Cascbccr of Lincoln. U Is alleged that the appoint ments of the secretaries were made simply to discharge political obligations and with out consideration of the applications of other barbers. However , this Is not the oofy cautc of .tho dissatisfaction that has arisen over the appointments. The law creating the Stnto Barbers' board was enacted nt the last session of the leg islature and wns pushed through largely by the efforts of the representatives from Doug las and Lancaster counties. A largo proportion tion of the barbers of the state are em ployed In these two counties , hut Governor Poynter In his appointments did not decog- nlzo any of the applicants from either county. Two apllconts from Omaha N. V. Guy nnd II. A. Payne received the endorse ment of many prominent fuslonlsts In Doug las county , and the same might be said con cerning several others. In Lincoln there were several applicants , ono of whom re ceived the personaf support of Senator Allen. The appointment of Dr. Casobcer of this city , a practicing physician , does not satisfy the barbers , who claim that the appointment of o o regularly employed man from cither of the cities would have helped along the cause of populism. As it is they ore dls satisfied at being let down without being recognized nt all. There Is still another reason why the bar bers of Lincoln and Omaha think the ap pointments were unfair and that Is because the governor refused to recognize the lo cality from which the blfl creating the board was Introduced. The bill was drawn up and pushed through by a representative from Douglas county , but this fact seems to have been overlooked by the chief executive. Dr. Casobcer of this city has been elected chairman of the secretaries and the board has decided to pay him a salary of $1,200 per year. The salary of the other two secre taries has not been decided upon , but they will probably be paid the same or nearly as much as Dr. Casobeer. State Superintendent Jackson and Deputy Superintendent Beck are attending the teach ers' examinations now being held In different ports of the state. Examinations for teach ers' certificates are held twice each year at Lincoln In December and In various points in June. The reason for holding the exami nation In only one place In December Is on a.-couut of the State Teachers' association holding its annual meetings In this city at that time. Examinations nro being herd at Holdrege. North Platte , Grand Island , Fre mont , Wayne and Lincoln. To SiiulireflH Evil.

LUCH'S A. WELSH. Local Forecast Official. ( SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. H has finally been decided by the postal officials to place an electric stamp-cancel ling machine In the new postofflee building. A Ic-uer to this effect was received by Post master Ettc-r yesterday , and Arrangements will be made to Install the machine as coon n It arrives. The government will provide Its own motor , tout the power will most likely bo supplied by the local electric light company. The motor ordered Is a one-third horse-power alternating motor of 115 volts. Postofflco employes are naturally greatly pleased at the prospect of having their labors - \ ors In the stamp-cnncelllng department lightened , as stamping by hand IB tedious and laborious. U frequently happens that the packers send largo quantities of circu lars to the postofllcc at a time , nnd occa sionally these are delayed slightly while first-class mall matter Is being stamped and sent out. With n stamping machine circulars and other second and third class matter will be handled as expedltlously as flrst-clafs matter. The delay In arranging for the electric stamper has been caused by the difficulty In securing power. The motor company would hnvc been clad to supply the cur- rent needed , but as it has no franchise for furnishing power hero It could not undertake - take the contract. Then the * electric light company did not llko the Idea of install ing a motor of its own , as the revenue would hardly warrant the expenditure. Now that the government has purchased its own motor the matter is settled with the exception of the opening of bids for the supply of current. Mont nun i Salmon. The marriage of J. D. Montague and Miss Delia B. Salmon was solemnized at St. Bridget's church , Twenty-sixth nnd F streets , yesterday morning. Rov. Father Gleason performed the ceremony , which was followed by nuptial mass. The church was handsomely decorated with palms and cut flowers , which added greatly to the bril liancy of the occasion. Thomas Montague , a brother of the groom , acted as best man , and Miss 'Mollle ' Her of Omaha was the bridesmaid. Following the ceremony a wed ding breakfast was served to relatives and a few Intlmato friends nt the homo of the bride's mother , Twentieth and J streets. Mnny elcgnnt presents were received , among them being n set of solid silver teaspoons and a china berry set from the city officials. Both bride and groom are well and popu larly known hero , the groom being the city's efficient sanitary Inspector. Mr. nnd Mrs. Montague will bo nt home at Twenty-third and J streets after July 1. Dentil of J. 12. Ilntvkln * . J. E , Hawkins , who lost his life In the cyclone nt Herman Tuesday night , was well known In this city , having been connected with the Hammond Packing company for a number of years. While located here Mr. Hawkins was one of the head men In the provision department , but when the Hammond mend company opened Its plant at St. Joe ho was sent there as manager. Mr. Haw kins resigned his position on Juno 1 In order to retire to his farm near Herman and spend the balance of his days In quiet. From Information received at the office of the Hammond company yesterday it ap pears that the Hawkins barn was struck by lightning and 'destroyed , Mr. Hawkins being in the building at the time. Mr. Hawkins was 60 years of age , and his many friends here regret to hear of his death just as he was in a position to enjoy the quiet of life he had long desired. Shortage In the Lninli Crop. John B. Colt , an extensive sheep raiser of Las Anlmas , Colo. , was in the city a day or two ago with ten double-dccfc cars of lambs. He was greatly pleased with the treatment accorded .him hero nadValso with the , price received for his stock. . ' Mr. Colt stated that he had done much better by coming here than If he had shipped to Kansas City or St. Joseph , although the freight rate was 7 cents higher than to either of the other points. Continuing , Mr. Colt said that the sheepmen In his section were well aware of the advantages of this market , but found It difficult to get a railroad rate here , the roads preferring to bill live stock to markets far ther down the river. This shipper estimates that the lamb crop will fafl about 40 per cent short this year on account of a re markably dry season and that the unprece dented cold of last winter. Snloon Screens Miiit Go. According to the orders of the mayor all window and bar screens , as weir as all wine rooms , must be removed from saloons by 6 o'clock this evening. This order was Issued by his honor about a week ago , but there has been no general movement on the part of saloon keepers to comply as yet. Just what action the police will take In the ab sence of the chief executive is not known , but It Is understood that the mayor has or dered the arrest of those who failed to obey the order. The liquor dealers say that the mayor's action in closing1 the saloons at midnight and keeping them closed on Sun day Is driving business away and they are anxiously looking forward to relief. Odd Fclloirn' Memorial Day * South Omaha lodge , No. 148 , Independent Order of Odd Fellows , will observe Sunday , June IS , as memorial day. The graves of their departed brethren will be decorated with flowers during the afternoon and In the evening special services will bo held at the First Presbyterian church.

Louis Phillips , colored , is In Jail , charged with assault and battery and threatening to kill. The complainant In this case Is Mr5. Ororgla Patton , also colored , who lives at Twenty-sixth and O streets , where the fracas occurred. Phillips beat Mrs. Patton to that she Is confined to her bed , but It is thought that she will be able to be out in a few days. Two years ago Mrs. Patton was beaten and cut by her husband so that her life was despaired of for a time. Patton - ton was sent to the penitentiary for six years for this crime and Is still there , Inoculation for Splenetic Fever , Dr. D. E. Salmon , chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry , says In reference to in oculation for splenetic fever : "Inoculation Is making progress in Australia and ap pears to be a satisfactory means of pre vention. We 'have the great advantage over tbat country of a cold winter , during which there Is little danger of producing eerlous disease bv the operation. By Inoculating young cattle In the fall and sending them south early In the following spring the losses should be very slight. " The City Without nn Hxeuutlrc Hi-nil. The city Is now without an executive head , as Mayor Ensor and President of the Council Bennett are bot'h out of town. In such cases the charter provides that the council may meet and select a member of that body to act , the title being acting president of the council. It Is not probable that a meeting will be held to take any steps of this kind , as It Is not thought that the mayor will be absent more than a day or two. . City < io ll > .

SALESMAN NOW UNDER ARREST lOniploye of the llniiiinond 1'ne.Ulni ; Company I'liieeil lit Durum ; ; * Vile. Charles H. Hackar , salesman nnd collector at Victor and Cripple Creek for the Hammond mend Packing company , was arrested Wednesday evening at the Murray hotel by Sergeants Wlsenberg and Bebout on the charge of embezzlement. The arrest was made in obedience to orders telegraphed to Captain Donahue by the sheriff at Crlpplo Creek , James T. Stewart. The amount of Hacker'o defalcation Is about K.OOO and It Is secured by a bond In the National Surety company of New York. Hacker admitted to Captain Donahue , nl a conference after his arrest , that he was behind in his accounts nearly $2,000 , but he was positive In the declaration that he had not Intended to embezzle any of the firm's money. Ho explained that he came to the city for the purpose of effecting a settle ment and that the arrest Is the result of splto work and entirely unnecessary. Mrs. Haokcr , who accompanied her husband , told the police that he had been robbed on two different occasions of sums nearly equal o the amount of the defalcation. Mr. Hacker declined to give any Information with re gard to the alleged robbery. Manager A. M.
