DEMOCRACY IN A DILEMMA r&jing Political Debtt Bnn Ccuittr to Plan for Fcoiemy. AUDITOR'S PLACE BONE OF CONTENTION George XV. Covcll ami Pete O'Mnllcy IIpIiik I.rnilliiK Ciiiulltlntc, Prom ises Hcvlv.ll nf mi Old mill Very I'liplcnKntit Unite. Commissioner O'Koeffe'a efforts to securo ' more economical anil buslness-llko ml ministration of tho nffnlrs of Douglas county naturally fall to enlist hearty sup port from tho democrats. To seo soft snaps with comfortable salaries attached wiped out of existence Is more than tbo utitcrrllled can stand. ' County Clerk Miller, having emerged from A contest In which he Imitated Job, who said, "And I am cscuped by tho sltln of my teeth," now dcllen tho Hoard of County Commissioners and says he will retain a number of clerks uqual to tho force of his predecessor, whether needed or not. Miller's contention is that for fifteen years he has been among tho hewers of wood and draw ers of water of his party, and now that ho ic in a position to control a llttlo patronage ho doesn't propose to havo tho opportunity destroyed by nny set of men who meroly want to savo money for tho people. During hlB fifteen years of con 'sclentlous effort to further tho Interests of tho democratic party and securo an offleo for himself, Mr. Miller has contracted somo political obligations, and ho naturally wants to dlschargo these. Payment can only come out of the public colters, and any measure which tends In the least to hamper his access tov tho' treasury will meet his opposi tion. One of iho bitterest pills Miller has had to swallow Is that the move tor economy It headed by a democrat from South Omaha. Little Grain or Comfort, And still he finds a llttlo grain of com fort even In this. When tha clamorous horde of South Omaha faithful approach him for tho redemption of promises made during the campaign he answers that four 1 clerkships have been cut off in his olllco and among them were tho two be had In tended giving to South Omaha. Then ha points out that Dick O' Recite Is the man who Is doing It. O'Kccffo Insists that Miller shall take upon himself a share of tho work to bo done In tho county clerk's office "ml earn a portion of tho salary tho county pajv him. Probably the most Interesting fight In tho whole list Is tho one that In being carried, on for tho retention of tho sinecure carried on the pay roll under tho name of "county auditor." No warrnnt of law for this ofllco exists. t la an excrescence from the days of 1889, when tho county board, constituted of four democrats aud one republican, was divided against tho thon county clerk, "Mickey" Roacho. W.- J. Mount was chair man, and on tho floor were L. M. Anderson and "Dill" Turner, the only republican member, arrayed against Dick O'Kooffo and Pete Corrlgan. Jack Evans was employed to check over the bills returned by Sheriff Coburn and later his duties were extended Mo a sort of surveillance of the county clerk'a office and thon to the ofllco of recorder of deeds, then held by "Jeff" Mcgeath. How a Job Grow. Prom this small and unostentatious be ginning tho position of "county auditor" Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and perseverance in its use will work won ders for the most hopeless woman. If Mrs. Newton, whose letter is given below, had not persisted in its use, she might never have known the happiness of perfect health. Perhaps the reason for ner persistence, was because nhc used "Favorite Prescription" as a "last re sort." Physicians had failed. If "Favor ite Prescription" could not help there was nothing to hope for. It did help. It always helps nnd almost always cures. It establishes regularity, dries weaken ing drains, heals Inflammation and ulcer ation and cures female weakness.

On the other hand, therp Is a merry competition going on for the nppolntmcnt, one which bids fair to equal the condition which existed In tho board when the office was created. "Friend" Oeorgo IV.

ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS Mr. Cornish Thlnha the Lake mill flnr- rounding Conlil tlr Mnde Into as Mi'f n Pnrk an Can He Desired. "Cut-Off lake and a strip of land 3CJ feet wide along the Nebraska shore of the lako can bs purchased for about $25,000, or one-half of tho amount which the city must pay for the twenty-two acres of land Included In the projected park on the Muff tract," said Park Commissioner E. J. Cor nish. "Land adjoining Cut-Off lake Is as sessed at low prices and can bo acquired by condemnation proceedings with small expenditure. In my opinion, tho portion of the lake bed which Is In Nebraska and nearly "00 acres of adjoining land can bo had for $25,000. "Sixty-nine acres of land extending from a block south of Locust street to the lake bed and Included within tho city limits of Omaha Is assessed at $8,760. I believe that this property could bo taken by con demnation proceedings at $15,000, and It to far tho most expensive land In the vicinity of the lake. A tract of land 300 feet wide extending around the Iowa side of the lako will Include about 100 acres. Much of this Is assessed at very low fig ures and I believe that tho land we need can bo had at an average price of $100 per acre. lied of l.lttlr Vnlne. "The lake bed Is of llttlo value. In It thero Is about 191 acres of land. All of this Is so low that It Is practically worth less and will yield only the rent the Ice men pay. Two thousand dollars would, In my opinion, be about all that the land In tho lako bed is worth. "Cut-Off lako offers as fine a .natural site for a park as can be desired. Lake Como, In St. Paul, was formerly such a body of water as Cut-Off lake. Dredging and Im provement would make Cut-Off as beautiful a lako as Como. A strip 300 foot wldo around the lake would afford an excellent opportunity for parking. At tho ojtcr edge of tho strip trees and shrubs could be planted, which would give a wooded effect, and a fine boulevard could be laid out be tween the trees and tho lako shoro. At small expense the lake could be dredgod and tho shores could be built up several (ect with tho soli taken from tho lake bed. "If properly dredged Cut-Off lako would mako a much better body of water for sailing than Manawa. It lies In the shape of a U and offers a greater variety of shoro and much prettier scenic effects. The Iowa shoro should also be acquired, but It will be Impossible to do that until the land Is made a part of Nebraska by action of tha legislatures of tbo two states."

Towne, an old man from Dow City, la., bowed his head on his arms In the office of Superintendent Robinson at the Durllngton station yesterday morning and heaved dry, tearless sobs that racked his frail body and seemed to gush from a broken heart.

She complained of pains In her chest and had a had cough. I gave her Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to directions and In two days she was well and able to go to school. I have used this remedy In my family for the past seven years and have never known It to fall," says James Prendcrgast, merchant, Annato Day, Jamaica, West India Islands. The pains In the chest Indicated an approaching attack of pneumonia, which In this Instanco was undoubtedly warded off by Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. For tale by all druggists. W00DARD WINS AT ORATORY Will Represent CrelRhtnn I'nlrcralt In Contest of Intercollegiate Association, James E.

County Commttsloner Richard O'Keefte Is preparing to make a request of the city authorities In tho nutter of supplying med icines for the county patients hero. In times past this has been done occasionally for the reason that tho assistant county phy sician attended many city emergency cases, Commissioner O'Keeffe Is quoted as saying that unless the city of South Omaha will furnish medicine for South Omaha's county patients ho will not advocate tho appoint ment of an assistant county physician. It Is a rertalnty that thU concession will not be made by the city at this time, for the reason that South Omaha supports a Board of Health and a city physician, and tho cases formerly looked after by tho resident county physician can be .taken care of by the city physician. "The ex penses of the Hoard of Health are already largo enough," said a mombor of the coun cil yesterday, "without adding tho cost of medicines for county patients," Another official ventured the remark that the city, had all It could attend to now, and with a wideawake Doard of Health and a city physician the city was carrying all of the load It can.

'When a laxative la needed the remedy which Is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts arc known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of Its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and for the same reason It is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy '.tUIcIi acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, Irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal era sometimes offer to Increase their profits.

A member of the council said last night that In all probability nine men would bo chosen, thus cutting oft tho four women to whom Mayor Kelly had promised positions. Tho fact that the revised ordlnanco was passed over the mayor's veto goes to show that tho .council as a body Is not In favor of his honor's selection of members. Rumor has It that 'Mayor Kelly will, at tho next council meeting send In the same list of names he presented last Monday night. It Is safo to. wager that the ap pointments will not be confirmed as the council holds that the mayor has no au thority to name tho members of the pro posed board. Hoard Members Indicted.
