Al the meeting of the board of directors
bf the Omaha Public Library last Saturday
IIn application was received from Mrs. Mary
Allan Bock for ths position of assistant
librarian. The application waS endorrel by
the librarian , Jessie Allan , a sister of Mrs.
flock , and supported by a long petition
signEd by prominent business men and
bankers. This fact would not merit more
than a mere mentron were It not that there
Ia l behind It a. long and Interesting IItory.
The application' of Mrs. Dock relllis as follows -
lows :
OMAHA : Sept. 7 , 1 5.-To the Honorable
Hoard OC Directors DC the Omaha PUblic
Library : 'fhe election of a new librarian
wIlt \ undoubtedly cau"e chang ! In the other
01llce8. Pleasc consider me an apllcant ) for
the position of asslstnnt IIbrarlall.
MARY ALI4AN BOCK.
"That's anticipating a little , Isn't It ? " re-
markCI one of the members of the board ,
liS the document was read There may
perhaps be 110 doubt In the minds of Jessie
Allan and Mary Allan Bock as to an early
change In the assistant librarianship of the
Omaha Public Library but If so , It Is because .
cause they have spared no pains to brIng
about the change so much desired by them.
At Its April meeting the board adopted
. . a resolution expreesing thanks to all the
members of the library force for their con-
IIclentious work ) during the five months' ab-
lIenca of the librarian.
Wmmg IT DEOAN.
At the May meeting the board was startled }
to find that the regular monthly report of
the librarian concluded as ollows :
. . DurIng thy absence the , york has ' seem-
Inly gone on tn n satlsfnct/Jry / manner , and
1 understand olllcial action has been taken
to this errect. I cannot In justice to the
library let this resolution so on record
without a protest. I
I have repeated evidence either of positive - !
itive indifference to or an utter incapacity
for understanding the Instructions sent by
me to the assistant In chare. This has de-
layed printing as after three so-called revisions -
visions by her It was necessary for me to
practically have tbe whole work Italic a
second ' time. No attention was paid ( to or-
dare given several weeks before my return.
It has been Impossible for me to revise
nil the bills , hut In those examined errors
have been discovered
Dy presenting duplicate pay rolls my rule
nR to lost time and my discipline were ques-
tioned. This rule has been absolute since
1893 , and Is lIIown by every one In the II-
brarr. -
For years I have done a large part of her
work over again. and there has always
been a feeling of Inpecurlty. Now the serious -
rlous state oC my health makes a competent
assistant more than ever an absolute tie-
cesslty , so , In justice to myself , thll library
and my successor , I formally make this
charge oC IncolUpetenc
JESSIE ALLAN.
The board would not at first regard these
charges as seriously niade In view oC the precarious -
carious state of Miss Allan's heallh. The
members asserted that she was not responsible -
ble for this part' oC her report antI declined
to talto any formal action upon the matter.
It was suggested n month later that Inasmuch - :
much as the charges were oC a most formal
nature , It was at least due to the assistant
librarIan , IIIlss O'Brlen , that they be substantiated -
stantiated or disproved. At that time , how-
ever , tt was doubtful whether Miss Allan
would be physically able to attend a formal
hearing , and It was decIded best to drop the
matter allogether.
WANT IT IN THE FAMILY.
The different members oC the Allan family
ap 'arently did not take the same view. The
regular ' monthly rep rt received at the meet-
Ing last Saturday contained the request on
tile p.rl : : at the librarian that Miss ! \ O'Brlen
bi dismissed and that her sister \Irs. ! \ Mary ! \
Allan Bock , be emplo"ed as assistant IIbra-
ritsn. It went still further In reasserting the
charges previously made and In . making the
following demand :
I make the formal request that so much of
my report for thc month oC May liS deals
. with the assistant librarian , be place on the
record. 1 uncterstan that It Is said that the
comJ.lnlntwlIs hot specl1c. ) ! It can easily be
made so.
At the same mctlng : ! a letter was read :
, addressed , o the president at the board and
signed ! ! by \\Irs. \ lIzabeth Alian mother oC
_ _ _ _ _ b.:1h Jessie Allan and \\Irs. \ Dock , asserting
that tim serious condition oC her daughter's
_ _ _ _ _ health was largely brought about by her confinement -
. finement In the public library and the lack
at n "reltable and competent assistant , " and
I saying further that she was sure that her
' daughter's health would be largely benefited
If lier sister , lIIrs. Dock , were appointed her
succesOr. At any rate , she pleaded , It was
S no more than fair , IC that were not done ,
that Miss Allan should be continued as libra-
nan and be given an assistant with capacity
- . for something more than "Irlsh wit antI re-
partee. "
It je , supposed that when the charges of
tncompetency were originally made the last
I of May the Allan family expected the board
_ . to take immediate action In the matter and
, to depose Miss O'DrL and to Instate \\Irs. \
. hock In her plaee. Mrs. Bock would then be
In line to succeed her sll"ter : as librarian and
. the hold which time family has had upon that
po.sltlon ever since It was created would be
unbroken
- FROM : SISTER TO SISTER.
The stor ) ' of the connection of
* the Allan family with the pUblic
. library dates Cram Its very be-
gl.nnlng. The library was organized umler
. the law as a pUblic library In August , 1877 ,
: and Jennie M. Allan was made librarIan
with a salary of $25 per nmentlm lIer salary
was Increased In January , 1878. to $35 per
: : m ' nth and In January , 1879 , to $ t5 per month
, , In January , 1880 , Jennie M. Allan , who had
' become Jennie M. JohnS'On , resIgned and was
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 succeeded by her sister Mary \ 1' . Allan , at
1 , the same salary of U5 per month. This
salary was Increased In February , 1881. to
. : $55 per 1II0nth , In March \ , 1881 , to $65 per
mpnth and In August , 1884 , to $ S3.33Y.J per
niontim Mary \ 1' . Allan resigned the libra-
_ _ _ _ rlanshlp In May IS8G , to become Mrs. Mary
Allan Bock. She was succeeded by her sister ,
. e9Sle Allan.

r brary as an assistant In Decem-

sl1e : made way again for her sister she was
raised to $4 per month In March , U84 , and
- $5 per-- month In October , 1885 , When slle
k _ was elected librarian the salary was fixed
lit $75 per month , but before she drew her
Warrant for her firs month's services Lt was
increased to the point at which her shter's
_ F.tlary left off , namely $ S3.33'4 per montim
_ _ _ _ _
' lIer salary was increased September I , 1888 ,
to $100 per month : July I , 1889 , to $125 per
month : July 1. 1890 , to $135 IJer month : July
_ _ _ _ _ L 1 , 1891 , to $145 and July I , 1892 , to $150 per
month
In the Interval a fourth sister halt entered
, thO library Jimmie 1887. as an assistant , at
the regular assistant's salary of $25 per month ,
increasing gradually under the sliding scale
In force nntll It readied $50 per month ,
Toward time close or last year the librarian
endorsed an appllc.:1t1on : of Blanche Allan for
increase of salary to $ GO per month , but on
account at the straitened condition oC the
library funds the board did not regard the
. IIIJpllcation with favor
Since 1893 the librarian , Jessie Allan , has
, been , by reason of 11\ \ health unable to per-
form Ihl' ' duties of her ofllce She wa given
I' a leave of absence from November 18\)3 \ ) to
August , 1894 , during which tm ! . she continued .
tlnuell to draw full pay at the rate of $150
pr month Her place was supplied telll'
porarlly , under a private arrangement , by her
, sister , Mra Mary Allan hock who , It Is
said , divided the salary with her. On No.
_ _ _ _ _ ' v mber. :4 , 1894. a request was made for an-
, other leave of alsl'nee ) , and the library board

.May 1 , but without pay. On her return , bow-
ever she Inserted her nlllllO In the April
pay roll for $50 for ten days' pay , On Inrlulry
It was learned that she had not been able
to gel aWRY under the resolution granting her
four months' leave of absence Crorn Decem-
bee 1 until December 10. Although paid full
salary for December she insisted Oil additional -
tlonal pay for those ten IlIlY' , and persuaded
a majority of the members af the board to
vote It to her.
On JUly 1 lUIS : Allan wu granted another
leave at absence for ten days with full pay
In order to go to St. Louis to take treatment .
ment for her health , and since that time she
has been unable to b at the library more
than three or four times. The charges
which she preferred against Miss O'Drlen
referred allllost wholly to time period during
which the was abuont During this time
Miss O'BrIen performed the work attached
to her Ruperlo office , while Miss Allan
drew full pay and Miss O'Drlen received
no extra compensation During this time ,
too , the assistant librarian was , by rerdimi. !
tlons of the board , In full charge of the
library , yet the absent librarian contlnuel\
to send In orders and InJunctions , most of
which were promptly executed It Is not
probable that Miss Allan will ever be called
upon to substantiate the allegations made
In her report Miss O'BrIen declares that
while she may have made IIIlstakes , her
conduct Is opm to the fullest investigation
She says she has not demanded a hearing
only because she thinks Miss Allan Is not
responlble for the preferring of the charges
against her.

The gently rOiling lands , the clear and

as entrancing , just as life-giving. and just
as productive today as they were In that
remote and legCJ\l1ary \ time.
The last party of Orchard Homes seekers
upon their return from that delightful spot
were as enthusIastic and strong In the faith
as ta Us solid merits as the most enthusiastic
discoverer of a new world could be In announcing -
nouncing the news of his discovery. -
The man who Is sure that each year his
labor will pay him a sure , quick and large
