That the work of tho sheriff's office Is
lighter than It hAti been In ten years can
not bo succsBtully contradicted, yet the
working force of the office has been In
creased from flvo employes In 1890 to eight
In 1900 und the tola) of tho annual salaries
has advanced from (5,800 to 18,370. In
1890 the forco consisted of tho shcrltl at
$2,500 per year, three deputies at 1900
each and one clerk at $600. At present the
force Includes tho sheriff at $J,E00, one
deputy ut $1,200, ono deputy at $1,020 and
rlvo deputies nt $'.'00 often.
That the present force Is unnecessary Is
;learly Indicated by the fact that from two
to thrco deputies can be found ldlo In tho
olllce nt any hour of any day In tho year.
These Idle deputies merely Indicate what
the court records prove an to tho work
of tho sheriff's office. In 1891 thero wore
2.629 civil and criminal casoo docketed In
the district court, while In 1900 there were
only l,tSi5 cases docketed, showing that
the business of the court last year was
only Ut per cent of what It was six years
before Ah tho work of the sheriff's office
Is prln-lpally the serving of papers In casus
brought and pending In the district court,
tho records of tho court furnish the very
hem ovmenct. of the volume of business

All fees collected by the sheriff belong
to the county. In other words, the sheriff
Is required to pay the salaries and other
expenses of his office from his fee receipts
nnd tuin nny balance that he may acquire
Into the county treasury. Thousands of
dollars of fees earned hy the sheriff arc
novcr paid and ho accounts only for those
that are paid.
During tho two years that John C. Drexcl
served as sheriff the fee collections
amounted to $13,621.11. while tho expenus
of tho office were $16,080, leaving n dflclt
of $1,458.89. Since Mr. Droxel retired ftC3
earned derlng his term to the amount of
$1,494.49 have been paid In to the c!crk of
the district court, making n net balance of
$35.60 In sheriff's fees for the county f"r
the years 1894 and 1895.
During the years of 1896 to 1899, In
clusive, when John McDonald served as
sheriff, the cash fee collections amounted
to $38,893.34 and the expenses were $34,
906.44, leaving a balanco of $3,986.90, which
was turned Into the county treasury. Slnco
tho retirement of Mr. McDonald the clork
of the court has collected $988.25 of foes
earned during his term.
The cash fee collections for the first year
of Sheriff Power's term amounted to
$5,778.51 and the expenses were $8,973.80.
leaving a deficit of $3,395.29.

It will be seen that' during John Drexel'a
term 99 per cent of the receipts went for
expenses; during John McDonald's four
years S7 per cent of the receipts wcro ex
pended, and during the first year of John
Power's term the expenses were greatly In

plained, however, that a considerable por
tion of the fees earned during Power'J
first year have not yet been collected, and
will show In his fee iccelpts for the cur

Cp until December, 1898, the (sheriff

Thus It Is seen that during the past six
years the sheriffs have been making from
$3,339 to $4,836 a year on boarding pris
oners. There Is no way of making a reliable
estimate of the rallcngc profits of the sher
iff, but they will amount to at least $1,000
a year. Add this amount to the salary of
$2,500 and the profits on boarding prisoners
anil It will be seen that the sheriff's office,
during tho past six years, has been worth
from $6,S39 to $8,336 a year to tho Incumb

The amount to be expended by the sher
iff for salaries is fixed at the beginning of
each year by tho Board of County Commis
sioners, and the law does not permit him
to exceed the allowance. So It is that the
county commissioners are directly respon
sible for tho excessive expenses of Iht
sheriff's office.

If your hair 1b brittle and thinning you
have dandruff. The merely scouring of the
scalp of the looso scales won't euro dan

of scalp being thrown up by a pestiferous

of the hair, where It saps the vitality, caus
ing falling hair and In time baldness. Now
you can't stop dandruff, nor falling hair,
nor prevent baldness unless you destroy
that germ, and tho only preparation that
can do It Is the new scientific discovery,
Ncwbro's Ilerplcldc. In fact, no other hair

BURDENS FR0MHEALTH FUND

Removal of Dend Anlnn.li,
The city council held a special meeting
yesterday and passed the salary appropria
tion ordinance for August. The ordinance
provided for the transfer of $3,607.66 from
the general fund to the health fund to pro
vide for the expenses of the emergency
hospital and for the removal of dead ani
mals. Ily passing this ordinance the coun
cllmen declared their Intention of freeing
tho health fund from burdens which tho
health commissioner maintains should not
be paid with funds set aside for the use of
his department. Tho health fund was prac
tically exhausted previous to this transfer,
only $29 remaining In the fund. The ex
pense of maintaining the emergeuoy hospital
during the year 1901 1ms been $5,767.60 and
the removal of dead animals has cost $310.
Several months ago the council appropri
ated $2,500 of the general fund for the use
of the health department. The additional
appropriation of $3,607.66 will dispose of the
entire amount expended at the emergency
hospital and for the removal of dead ani
mals. Dysentery Cured Without the Alii of

Tho report of the legislative committee

Our lust convention met (as you remem

the leglsloture. An soon as bills Were re
ceived by your committee their Introduc

Introduced, or which six passed the house,

The report of Fred ltauman, secretary
treasurer, was a lengthy document which
touched upon every phase of the orgnnlta
tlon nnd, as was expected, In Its recommen
datlons, tended to bring tho state society
of Nebraska Into closer nfllnlty with the
State Society of Colorado. The first recom
mendatlon requested the society to make
provisions for Issuing n charter to each
affiliated union, fixing a chage o' U for the
document; the second, the levying of a per
capita tax of IVj cents ji.r month upon each
society, this lax to be collected quarterly;
the third, the creation of n sinking fund to
assist affiliated orders In caee of strikes or
lockouts. In tils connection the secretary
recommends the organization of the execu
tive committee ns a board of arbitration to
settle differences between employer and em
ployed. The political phase of the society
Is cared for In the report by a plan for thn
establishment of a political central com
mtttce whoso duty It shall be to attempt to
have only men who arc known to bo friends
of organized labor nominated for office In
nil political conventions; to Investigate the
records of nominees and to advise the mem
bers of the unlonrf- as to tho candidates
whoso election would he of the greatest
benefit to the members of the nllled koclo-
tics.
The secretary reported that the growth of
ths society was about 20 per cent last year;
that funds to the amount of $345.20 had
been raised and $249.15 expended, leaving n
balance of $90.05 In the treasury. This re
port was referred to the distribution com
mlttee. A recess was then taken to permit
the con mlttces to confer.
The commltteo which audited the books
of tho secretary-treasurer reported all
things correct. Adjournment was taken uu
til 1:30 o'clock.
Const Itut loiuil ChniiKP Itppomnipiiilpil,
The commltteo on ways and means rec
ommended the adoption of a change In the
constitution providing that all affiliated
unions pay a per capita tax of 10 c:n's
per annum, payable half In January and
half In June, upon all membtrs of such
unions and that such dues must be paid on
or before the thirtieth day of such months
The matter was debated at length rn.l
was adopted, after fixing the basis of pay
mont the same as the number of members
reported for per capita tax to the teveral
national or International organizations.
V. H. Hell, from the committee on res
olutlons, submitted nn exhaustive report
embracing many resolutions submitted ty
members. The first, submitted by Prcsl
dent Roche, was In the form of a bill to
be submitted to the next soislon of thj
legislature making It a felony for railroads
and similar concerns to employ their
mechaulct on Ihe "piece work" system.
Tho resolution was reported favorably by
the committee over the remonstrnnco of
Chairman Hell, who believed that the sub
ject should bo left to agreements bctv.oen
employers and employes rather- than regu
lating It by low, but the chairman believed
that the matter should be discussed and
considered during the coming year. It was
adopted.
A resolution providing, for tho Issuing of
charters to affiliated bodies by the state so
clsty wao reported favorably. It was sug
gested by Fred Dauman, who submitted the
resolution, that this charter was Intended
tft, be a means of raising money fer tha
state society. The resolution was adopted.
A resolution making a change In tho
basis of representation was adopted. It
provided for two delegates from eich union
having a total membership of 100 or less
with one additional delegato for each 100
additional members or major fraction
thereof.
A resolution providing that the executive
commltteo of the state eoclety shall use
Its good offices toward the settlement of
trouble between employer and employes
was adopted,
It was further provided that the execu
tive board should act as a committee on
political nominations, to Investigate ' the
standing of nominees of all parties n"d
recommend united action on the pait of
all members of allied unions.
Hymiuilhy for Xteel StrlKera.
Resolutions affirming sympathy for tho
Amalgamated Steel association were
adopted and the executive committee was
Instructed to rulso funds and tranrm.t
them to tho Amalgamated association.
A resolution was adopted requesting tho
legislature to place the superintendents
and employes of Btate penal and eleemosy
nary Institutions under civil service rules,
providing for examinations ns to ability and
fitness, nnd a resolution calling for a
change which would place tho position of
deputy labor eommlisloner out of the field
of politics was reported favorably by the
committee. In tho discussion whhh fol
lowed one bldo took the position that any
agitation on the subject would result In
the abolition of the ofllco, as there Is con
siderable opposition to the ofllco among
the farmers. This Idea was seconded by
C. D. Watson, the present deputy commls
etoncr, who itated that be believed that no
governor would ever appoint a commi-
sloner outside of the ranks of organized
labor, He cold that the govrrm-r ' 11
wiiv Interfered In the management of tha
olllce, hut allowed the deputy full on..
un- r brdltury circumstances. The matter
was laid over until the next convention.
The thirteenth refolutlon was one pro
viding that all 'working nun Join the social
labor party. The committee reported the
resolution unfavorably and a motion wit a
made to concur In the recommendation. C.
W. Adair, n dctegntc from the mctnl work
er, the author, spoke In favor of the res
olution nnd W. II. Hell, chairman of tho
committee, opposed. The author nnnounced
that If the resolution were defeated ho
would have It Introduced at each session.
Mr. Hell said thnt he believed that It Is the
duty of all union laboring men to oppose
socialism; that were It not for the bugbear
of socialism laborers would be better paid
and there would be less trouble between
employer nnd employed. As long ns men are
selfish and they always have been
socialism Is a dream. "Wherever socialism
Is strongly entrenched wages are lower than
In other similar communities. Milwaukee,
where socialistic resolutions have been en
dorsed by the Inbor unions, has the worst
paid mechanics In the country. The same Is
true of Cleveland, O., where the socialists
dominate the labor unions. 1 assume that
If till: delegates here would adopt this res
olution they would misrepresent their con
stituents I would misrepresent mine.
Politics Is outside of trades unionism and
should be kept there. Republicans, demo
crats, populists, soi'IallMs, are nil political
parties, but not 15 per cent of the members
of trades unions throughout the country arc
sqclallsts.
At the request of members .Mr. Adair
again spoko upon the subject, raying that
"thero 1h a wenkness In the labor move
mentthe socialist goes one step further
nnd offers a platform for you to study. The
capitalistic class take 83 per cent of the
product of labor. Tho ompetltlve system
Is strife, la war and should be changed. It
reduces the condition of tho laboring man
In the effort to produce goods cheaply." The
sprnker then went Into a lengthy disquisi
tion on tho subject of socialism, but hla
speech wat. Ineffective us the resolution
went to tho fable by a vote of 31 to 7, In
harmony with the recommendations of the
committee, after members said that should
the resolutions carry several of the unions
would withdraw from the society.
A resolution providing thnt the president,
first, second, third nnd fourth vlco presl-
Mcnts constitute the executive board, was
carried. Then followed the constitutional
requirements of tho several officers, which
were ndopted without debate of any conse
quence. Resolutions offering sympathy nnd assist
ance to the locked-out brewery workers
were adopted.

At the meeting of the Omaha Musicians'
union the followltig resolutions wero
unanimously adopted In reference to Ihn
trouble between the Knights of Ak-Sur-Ken
and the Central Labor union:
Moved, Thnt the Musicians' union of
Omuluv believes In the use of Ita boycott
against Individ uuls and corporations, but
that It Is against good judgment and detri
mental to unionism to placu the same upon
public entertainments where the public In
general subscribes funds and expectx no re
turn other than through Increased business,
nnd whero such subscribers have no volco
In the handling of labor; and that Omaha
Musicians' union stands pledged to aid to
the utmost ii n measure tending to retal
iate on the Individuals responsible for w-ub
labor being employed on the street fair and
carnival.
It was further decided to carry the
question before all unions which will meet
botwecn now and Friday eveulng and en
deavor to secure similar action. At the
meeting of tho Central Labor uhlan Fri
day evening an effort will be made to have
the boycott resolutions rescinded.

Omaha readers will be Interested In tho
announcement of n new novel by Ella W.
Pcnttlc, by reason of her long residence In
Omaha, during which time she made a
wide circle of friends, Mrs. Pcattle made
her reputation as n writer of short stories,
but the renders of !'The Heleagucre.l
Forest" will agree that sho Is equally nt
home In longer nnd more pretentious works
of fiction. There Is a subtle somcthlug about
the tale that Is distinctly new and fascinat
ing. It Is tho story of a young girl under
20 who onco thought that she was an nrtlst,
but nwokn to tho fact that she wns not one
when tho man who loved her opened her
eyes to reality. She had some money, but
lost It, and without money, n vocation or
friends finds herself compelled to think of
matrimony as n refuge from uuaccustomcd
toll nnd poverty. At a country camp sho
finds a strange recluse, who It develops
left his hermitage to relieve his loneliness.
In the most unconventional and thoughtless
manner this lll-mnted couple become en
gaged to marry. When the camp breaks up
they nrn married and he takes her to his
lumber camp thirty miles deep Into the
wood from nny village. Their home Is In
a belcngucroil forest nnd soon the young
wife finds that she hns married a madman,
who fnnclett that ho Is turning to bronze.
Thn account of her strange, nlmost weird,
llfo In the forest, the sacrifices she makes
for her husband that she does not love, but
who learns to love her, and the parts played
by tho honest-hearted woodsmen Is told
graphically. D. Applcton & Co., New York.
"Arllne Valero," by Joseph Hallworth. Is
decidedly unique. It Is a typelcss book
and from cover to cover Is a fac-slmlln of
the author's original manuscript. Not a
letter of type appears In the whole book.
Even tho Illustrations nre by tho nuthor
and nre In tho form of marginal sketches
done In pen nnd Ink. The whole effect Is
that of an old moiiklth manuscript. This
Idea was the conception of the author, who
Is an artist and engraver by profession.
His story Is the outcome of yenr spent In
studying the slum conditions of New York
tenement life, while he was employed there
as an engraver. Mr. Hallworth does not
attempt to give us prodigies or monstcrB
and does not assume that unmixed evil
wnlks abroad. Mrs. McFllckcr, Janltress of
the tenement house nt number something
and six, Is n typical widow. Sho rents
rooms to Vs'eur Valere, an artist who
never paints, nnd who hns a servant who
Is no servant, nnd the erratic wanderings
by day and by night of the artist who never
paints and the servant who Is no servant
fill nil the other tenants of Widow Mc
Fllckcr, not to mention tho widow herself,
with amazement and curiosity. They In
dulgo In the wildest speculations as to their
comlngB nnd goings. They peep through
thn artist's keyhole, they admire his hand
some furniture and finally one old bedridden
beldam In the rear tenement Is Just ns
suro that ho Is nn Inventor. Hut he had
a purpose, a sole mlsslou to fulfil, nnd the
book tells of It. L. C. Page & Co.. Boston.
Mrs. Julia Clark Hallam of Sioux City,
In., and recording secretary of the Iowa
Federntldn of Women's Clubs, has brought
out an edition of her work, "Story of a
European Tour," handsomely printed, bound
and Illustrated. The work was. done In Sioux
City and opeaks well for western book
making. Mrs. Hnllam and her husband
visited Europe with the evident purpose of
seeing nnd learning all that might bo
possible within the nllottcd space of time,
and her writing shows her to have been n
very close observer. Her dcscrlptlvo powers
are good nnd she has the further nnck of
telling her story in nn entertaining manner.
Tho render soon comes to take a personal
Interest In tho progress of the little party
and to feel that he Is really seeing what
they see. The excellence of tho work nt)
well as tho prominence of the writer must
certainly Insure tho volume being widely
read. In the middle west at least. Perkins
