JucJgo Tibbctts issued an order this morn
ing compelling the attendance of C.V. .
Mosher In his court at 1) ) o'clock Wednesday
morning to answer all questions put to him
concerning the transfers of real estate to
Thompson nnd the various stocks held or
formerly held by him.
D. 10. Thompson was examined at length
in relation to His dealings with Mosher. lie
Raid Mosher had deeded him his land in
York county and Outcalt his farm in this
county In December. Those transfers were
all absolute , but intended only to sccuro the
payment of money. In addition Outcalt
gave him a bill of sale of all the horses on
ills farm The deeds and bill of sale
wore not delivered until the day
on which the bank failed , part of
them having been left with Thompson's clerk
during his absence , and this clerk placed
them on record. The deeds were given as
security for the payment of notes given for
gas stock Mosher held J'JM.UOO and Outcalt
Jt'JI.IiOO shares of stock in the gas company's
now issue. The books of the company show
that the amount of I5,0 < )0 ) still stands In
their name.
The casn hinges on the question whether
or not it was a proper transfer , Thompson
claiming that It Is not necessary to make a
transfer valid by transferring certificates of
stock and having them recorded. The cred
itors claim that this transfer must bo recorded -
corded on the books of the company before
tticso proceedings begun to hold good. The
court ordered Thompson to produce a copy
of ono of the certificates of stock , also of the
by-laws and articles of incorporation of the
company ,
Mr , Fox's ItnotH.
A case with a queer story behind it Is be
ing tried in Judge TIbbett's court today.
Some years ago George A. Fox , a painter ,
bought a $7 pair of boots from O. Larsen , a
tilioeinakcr. They were not paid for and
IvUrscn brought suit. In bis ignorance of
the law Fox , who says ho has a good set-off
to Lumen's claim , supposed the court \vouKl
11 ml out all about it , and did not apncar in
court. The court gave I arsen n Judgment ,
of course , but it was not until after Fox
purchased some property that the execution
ho issued thereon was any good. The prop
erty was sold , but Fox succeeded in having
it sot aside , but could not bo gotten into
court , to bo examined as to the real owner
ship of the property until a capias was is-
sued. Ho then said it belonged to him , and it
was again sold. It was not until a writ of resti
tution was sworn out that Fox realised that
his homo bad been sold over his head , all for
a pair of boots ho claims ho doesn't owe for.
IIo then hired attorneys , nnd asks to have
the sale sot aside on the ground that the
property is his homestead. In the mean
while , from $7 the costs and claim for the
boots have risen to nearly $300.

his presence In Chicago indlcilted a possibil

the newspaper rumor and stating there was
absolutely nothing in the reiwrt given wide

"When Mr. Dickinson loft , for Chicago ho
had no idea that the position would be
tendered him , If It has been , " said Mr.
Clark , "and so far as I can know of Mr ,
Dickinson's movements I believe ho will
continue with the Union Pacillc as general
manager. The position of general
mamigor of the Santa Fo would
give Mr. Dickinson no more author

tion for meritorious service.
"As for changes as the result of the April
meeting , a man will bo elected president who
will carry out the present policy of the sys

If this conundrum were sprung on a gatherIng -

crib.With
With most ofllco seekers , writes a Wash
ington correspondent of thoGtobo-Dcmocrat ,
the trouble is that they do not know how to
1 go about thu business. Appointments are
chiefly made through referees. To begin
with , when Mr. Cleveland desires to make
an appointment ho is likely to refer the ques
tion to the democratic senator from the state
in which the ofllco Is located , if there is a
senator from that slate who is a democrat.
The senator refers for Information to the
chairman of the state democratic committee
and the member of the national democratic
committee for that state. But neither of
these men is acquainted with affairs in all
the congressional districts , so that the ques
tion Is referred by them to the democratic
congressman representing the district where
the odlcc is. If the representative is a re
publican the defeated democratic candidate
in that district Is consulted.
Obviously the congressman , or defeated
candidate , cannot bo acquainted with all
the counties in his district. Therefore ho re
fers to the chairman of the democratic county
committee in whoso county the oftlee in ques
tion Is located But this man probably docs
not know about the affairs of all the town
ships in his county , and ho consults the
chairman of the democratic committee of
the township wherein tlto ofllco lies. This
township magnate is thus made the ilnal
referee , and anybody within his bailiwick
who wants a place under the government's
patronage should begin by soliciting his in-
llucnco and indorsement. Let not the oflico
seeker waste his time in the getting up of
petitions , which ofllclals in Washington put
promptly Into pigeon holes for want of time
to read them. Let him rather go about the
affair in tbo right way , which is the simplest
namely , by procuring indorsements all
along the olllcial line above described and up
to the very presidential chair. Accomplish
ing that , ho is likely to get what he de
sires.
Proper Credential * .
Ill order to have his application considered
ho must make it easy for the appointing olll
cial to take his indorsements In ut a glance.
Accordingly , lot him put the whole business
on ono sheet of paper , if possible. For the
sakoof example , hero is a model of an ap
plication supposed to bo made by James Itob-
inson for a place as postmaster. It begins
with his indorsement by the chairman of his
township democratic committee :
Hilt.3VIM.E. March 4 , 1893. Hon. John
Smith , Chairman DcMimcrutlc Committee ,
Woklng County : MY JIAII ) : Mil. SMITH Mr.
James Koblnson of this township has been an
active worker for democratic state and na
tional tickets for many years. Iain satisfied
that his appointment as postmaster nt Tay
lor's Crossroads will strengthen thu party In
this part of our county , and I hope that you
will give him your Indorsement. Truly Yours ,
WlM.IAM 1IHOW.V.
Chairman lllllsvlllo Township Democratic
Committee.
On the back of this note Hon. John Smith
writes :
The Indorsement of Mr. William Ilrown Is
sulllclcnU and Mr. James Uoblnson should re
ceive the appointment. JOHN SMITH ,
Chairman Democratic Committed Wolclug
County.
Beneath tnis appear the following :
Indorsed Henry Tylur , representative
Second Arkansas congressional district.
Indorsed Thomas Llppuncott , chairman
Arkansas itnto democratic committee.
Indorsed II. Iv. Jones , senator.
It has cost Mr. Uoblnson some trouble to
procure all of thcso indorsements , but his
backing being unexceptionable , it is dollars
lo doughnuts that ho gets the postmaster-
ship at Taylor's Crossroads.
Grout Picking.
The offices to bo distributed by the presi
dent divide themselves naturally into
classes , belonging respectively to the Treas
ury , the Interior and other departments.
Quito naturally , the president refers to each
of the secretaries of his cabinet the appoint
ments which appertain to tholr divisions of
the government. For example , in regard to
consular and diplomatic places , Mr. Cleveland -
land will consult with Secretary of State
Gresham. Of course , ho will take a good
deal of advice from outside of the cabinet.
The views of democrat senators and others
who ought to know will bo heard on such
subjects. From this churning of wits and
Information will eventually bo produced a
fresh crop of diplomats and other represen
tatives of the United States abroad , whoso
salaries will run from $17,500 for an envoy
extraordinary to a first-class power , all the
way to the interpreter at Peking ; who only
gets ? 300 a year.
With the Department of the Treasurytho
method will bo exactly the same. Uegard-
ing appointments Mr. Cleveland will consult
with Secretary Carlisle , whoso subordinates
will digest and classify all applications for
places In this branch of the government ser
vice. The very Important ofllcers under Mr.
Carlisle will be selected out of the personal
knowledge of the chief executive. These in-
ehido the treasurer of the United States , the
superintendent of the coast survey , the col
lectors of customs at the principal ports , and
a number of collectors of internal revenue.
rliim * Worth J'lticKiiiK l''or.
It Is the same way with nil the other de
partments , In each case the secretary bolls
down applications and supplies the president
with facts for reference respecting appoint *
ments. The business of digesting applica
tions by u sort of political pepsin is carried
to a high point of oftlcieiioy in the Postof-
lice department , where hundreds of cords of
letters are sorted out nnd Hied , coming from
all parts of the country. Postolllco appoint
ments are usually referred to congressmen ,
or to districts In which the postoftlccs are
located. At the same time , it docs not al
ways follow that the recommendation of a
congressman of the correct political per
suasion will bo received as sufficient. In
the coming administration former preced
ents will bo set aside to an extent hitherto
unlmagined.
The treasury Is most particularly the de
partment of political plums. Under it coino
the collectors of ports. The collector of cus
toms at Boston gets as big a salary us the
secretary himself , namely , $8,000 a year.
Tbo collector at Now York draws $12,000
from Uncle Sam , The salary of the superin
tendent of the coast survey is $0,000. A
score of collectors of internal revenue re
ceive $4,500 each per annum. The commis
sioner of internal revenue Is paid $0,000 , nnd
$4,500 is the emolument of the supervising
architect , the director of the mint , the com
missioner of customs and the chief ofitho
bureau of engraving. The first and second
comptroller and the comptroller of the cur
rency are rewarded with $ "i,000 annually.
However , the treasury does not monopo
lize plums. The departments of the inter
ior , over which the genial Hoke Smltn will
preside , possesses a few. The commis
sioners of p.itonU and pensions got $5,000 a
year , The commlsslouer.ipf railroads ro
colves M,500 , nnd the land ofllco commis
sioner nnd commlssloiltriuf Indian affairs
draw $1,000 each. Tho. Director of the gee
logical snrvoy receives M.OOO , nnd eight
geologists under htm ard considered worth as
much as fl.OOO apiece. > Klghtccn of Uncle
Sam's pension agents cash treasury chocks
to the amount of $1,000 Tor each of them
yearly. Even at the capital there nro
numerous snug places. iTh6 wages of n largo
corps of senate employes run all the way
from $5,8W n year for the secretary of the
senate , down to the pages At $2.50 n day. On
the house side the saUrlos-.aro graded from
the clerk nt $ T ,000 down to tbo laborers at
$720 annually.
All of thcso places nfro .lit the disposal of
the president. For thq benevolent puriwso
of supplying definite information to office
seekers two clerks In tW treasury depart
ment have Just published a list of places
under the government which are not within
civil service lines , and w.hloh nro therefore
subject to npiKilntment by the new adminis
tration. To each of several thousand posi
tions thus described the salary belonging to
It Is attached. The reader has only to tnko
his choice nnd apply for what ho wants. It
may bo as well to cicutlon , however , that ,
according to n careful estimate , six persons
apply unsuccessfully for ofllces for every one
who gets n position under Undo Sam.
Ambition OVrlenps ItM'If.
It is true that most applicants for high
ofllces are eventually obliged to content
themselves with less exalted positions than
they originally sought. But sometimes It
happens the other way. Occasionally It
actually occurs that n person gets a big
place without asking for It , though too much
faith Is not to bo placed In the assertions of
lucky ones that they have boon elevated to Im
portant posts without any solicitation on their
part. A case in point was that of 11 member of
President Arthur's cabinet At the tlmo of
Garllcld's death be chanced to bo In Wash
ington on business , having no notion what
ever of applying for political preferment. A
correspondent of influence on Newspaper
How said to him : "Why don't you apply for
such-and-such a place In the cabinet ; " Ho
replied that It had not occurred to him to do
so. But the Journalist , who was his friend ,
had a dispatch sent all over the country
stating that the gentleman in question was
well adapted for the place and that ho would
bo appointed. And so ho was , merely on ac
count of that newspaper endorsement.
Some newspaper corrcsK ] > ndcnts in Wash
ington wield a good deal of inllucnco. At the
beginning of the Harrison administration
the representative of an Indiana journal hero
was applied to by an Indianapolis physician
for a place as examiner for pensions. Ho secured -
cured the position for the applicant. About a
month later ho got n letter from a man in
Tennessee , introducing himself as u patient
and an intimate friend of the Indianapolis
doctor. Ho wanted n place in the Pension
ofllce. Next came along a communication
from a man in Oregon , wno wanted an Indian
agency. Ho had received Information from
the man in Tennessee , a relative of his , to
thu effect that the newspaper correspondent
had influence. Next turned up by mail an
individual in Now Mexico , who wanted to bo
land agent. Ho was an acquaintance of the
Oregon man and introduced himself as such.
The last applicant , having elicited a civil re
ply , thenceforth regarded the newspaper
man as a sort of unpaid attorney for him In
Washington , to whom he applied for allsorts
ot laborious services. This method of pro
gressive ofllco seeking is not popular on the
Kow.
PorslHtciiro as n Curd.
Prcsistence is often a winning card in
place hunting. At ono ot President Arthur's
public receptions appeared a palpably rural
jay , with goat whiskers from Wisconsin.
IIo was an applicant for a post ofllce , and ,
having been shoved out time and again with
out being afforded an opportunity to see the
chief executive , ho had made up his mind to
tackle that august porsoliago as best ho
could. So , having grasped Mr. Arthur's
hand , he could not lot go , but proceeded to
shako and shake , talklng'all the while about
his claims for the post blllce aforesaid. "My
good friend , " said the president , always the
most polite of men , "I ( cannot talk to you
about this matter now. There are 300 people
waiting. " i
"Never mind that , " replied the applicant.
"I have tried for a week to get a chance to
talk to you , and I have bfcnn chucked out
every time I tried to say ajword. So I take
this opportunity to make afow remarks. "
Meanwhile he clung to the president's
hand , and , because there wils no other way
to got rid of him , Mr. Arthur said :
' 'Como tomorrow and see mo. "
The old nmnat once relinquished his grasp
on the president's fist and responded , with
the utmost cheerfulness :
"That's all I wanted. That feller who is
standing next you will know enough when I
call tomorrow to let mo in. Don't you forget
it. "
This was the president's clerk , who stood
by. The rural Jay came the next day and
secured his postoftlcc.
Sometimes failure to get an ofllco is a
blessing to a man. During Garflcld's admin
istration , Uncle Jeiry Uutk , who had been in
congress , was very anxious to get sonio place
under the government. Ho was in the situa
tion of Othello without an occupation , nnd
ho was disposed to accept anything that was
worth having , though It were only a placdas
chief of bureau. However , the president
paid no attention to his application and
finally he left Washington in disgust , sayine :
"Tell Garflold to go to the dickens ; I am
going to Wisconsin. " Ho went to Wisconsin ,
was elected governor four times , and finally
became secretary of agriculture. Thus did n
career open out before a man who , if bo had
succeeded in getting a sccond-rato post
years ago , would never , probably , have been
heard of again.

FOB , A RESCUE CHAPEL.
Mlsslonor Crnpaey'a ICITort to IlaliibllHh a
Homo Tor Fallen Women.
MIssloner Crapsoy met a good sized audi
ence of ladies at Trinity Cathedral yesterday
morning at 11 o'clock and laid before them
his plan for the establishment of a rescue
chapel and house in the 'burnt" district.
Ho said that the funds had been promised to
build the chapel as soon as the ground could
bo secured , it was also necessary to have a
rescue house for the care of the fallen who
might wish to cscapo from the clutches of a
sinful life. It would bo necessary to have a
board of trustees and
the co-operation of a
number of earnest Christian women who
would take hold of the work. IIo thought it
would be advisable to have ono of the sisters
of St. Monica come and got the Institution
established. It would not do to let young
people undertake such a work. It must bo
done by middle aged , mature people , and
young women , especially , should not bo al
lowed to take an active part in the work.
The matter will bo laid before the clergy
and Bishop Worthington and they will de
cide upon the appointment of loaders in the
movement , after which an effort will bo
made to get some experienced sister of St.
Monica to come to Omaluv-itmt get the Insti
tution properly started.
The mlssloner presented' the same import
ant matter at the noon 'meeting ' tor men at
the Now York life building-
