uf the district court of Lancaster county,
wherein he filed suit to compel the state
uuditor to pay him 16.000 for two years'
salary as clerk of the board, and now
asks the supreme court to listen to his
tale of voe.

that the present secretary, Ed Royse,
had been filling the office as defacto or

board, is exhibiting an appointment as

tional republican convention, done in
silver and gold and blue ribbons. The ap

peep from a skylight on the roof or a
broken window on the side,Jut the little
gold and silver done in blue ribbon

pointee. Is it possible that Mr. Maggl has
been a Taft man all the time, nowith

land business man, who was convicted of
statutory assault on Mary Waddick, a
34-year-old girl, was up for hearing before
the supreme court today. Kanert was
found guilty in the Hall county district
court and sentenced to a term of seven
years in the penitentiary. He appealed
to the supreme court. One of the reasons
for an appeal fas that testimony was
allowed showing that Kanert's wife died
last September In Macon, 111., and that he
' did not attend the funeral, which testi
mony prejudiced the jury and was not
proper evidence. He sets forth again that
the court room was filled during the trial
with men and women who were allowed
to laugh and sneer at the evidence and
that such acts prejudiced and influenced
the jury against him.

By arrangement of Food Commissioner
Hansen a meeting was held at the Lin

for the purpose of discussing the hand
ling of eggs. Commissioner Hansen in
his talk to the egg dealers said that he
would vigorously prosecute buying And
selling of rotten eggs, that candling

Impressed With
the Omaha Parks
AV. s. Gould, park commissioner of
Oakland, Cal., visited the Omaha parks
with Commissioner Hummel and Super
intendent Adams yesterday afternoon and
declared at the conclusion of the trip
that Oakland, where every flower or
shrub of a tropical climate can be grown,
has nothing on Omaha as a city of beau
tiful and well-arranjfed' parks.
"1 think your commissioner ought to
have more money," said Mr. Gould. "We
appropriate $142,000 In Oakland to main
tain and improve 4fi0 acres of park land.
Mere you have nearly three times thnt
acreage and only appropriate one-third
that amount."
Mr. Gould was especially pleased with
the prospects at Carter lake. The boule
vards, he said, were Inferior to none he
had seen. He believes that In time
Omaha will have one o the finest system
of parks and boulevards In the United
States. '
"Through the courtesy of your park
commissioner and superintendent I've'
had the pleasure of seeing Omaha's dtf-
ferent parks and boulevards," concluded :
Mr. Gould. "They explained the work
to date and gave me a glimpse of pro
jected plans. After an absence of seven- ;
teen years It is gratifying to see through
the eyes of the park commissioner of ,
Oakland your city's progress . toward a
park and boulevard system. It Indicates
an advanced position for your citizenship
and shows that you are thoroughly allvo
to the needs and necessities of a,' modern
city." . v- , - .
Mr. Gould is . vlsltln; his brother, C.
Z. Gould, who is general agent of the
Perm Mutual Life Insurance company
of Philadelphia. He believes Oakland
will have much better parks in the future
and could apply some of Omaha's ar
rangements and Ideas to good advantage.
