At a meeting of the county commissioners i
yesterday the popocratlc majority foisted '
Upon the taxpayers an additional expense In
Iho way of an extra clerk In the olllco of
County Treasurer Klsa&ser. The job wna
given to A. J. Williams at a salary of $75
tier month. The plea set forth by the popo-
cratlc member * of the board la that the
treasurer needs additional help in order to
properly look after delinquent personal
taxes , The rtwolutlon authorizing the crea
tion of this now berth and the appointment
of Wllllanifl wns Introduced by Thomas Hector -
tor , the former chairman of the board.
Commissioners Hartc and Ontrom made
vigorous speeches In opposition to the reso
lution. Attention wa culled to the fact that
the popocratlo wing of the board hud urged
economy u few days ago , when In committee
of thu whole ( ho court house salary lint was
leadJUBlod , and that Hector was one of the
loudrct proclalmcrs of an economic policy. It
was ulito cited Ihnt County Clerk Huverly ,
u republican oftlccr , Is unanlc to properly
execute the work required of him by statute
because of the baard'o order to discharge
two of the clerks employed In the tax de
partment.
'Mr. Jloctor made a brief -pcerh , In which
he triedto defend his position. Ho failed
to acrro a point , however , but that made no
dltfcioncc , for when a vote VVIIH taken It re
sulted In favor of the resolution.
rigurcs show that the county treasurer's
office In n ccwtly piece of machinery. In
comparison with the \olumo of work to bo
performed It costs more to run It than any
other office In the court house.

County Clerk Ha\erly sent to the commis
sioners yesterday a communication In
which ho piotests against the discharge of
two men from his force. In ubstancc , the
communication sets forth that by experience
IP. the office the county clerk has learned
that ho cannot properly execute his duties
with a reduced force , and the Commissioners
arc requested to take cogni/anco of this
fnct. The communication was referred to
fdirmltteo of the whole ami It will pro > -
nhl ) bo taken up home tlmo In the future.
Acting In accordance with the order of
the commissioners , made the first of the
jcar. Clerk Huverly has dismissed two
ilcrks Horn the tax department , and the
present foico la severely overworked. It Is
said. In trjlns ; to keep up with the work.
There In not a deput)8hlp In the court
l.otiio outsldo of the treasurer's office which
pays $160 per month except one The excep
tion Is Chief Deputy Steero In the office of
the district clerk. It Is said that the work
ol Mr. Stecro Is far moro exacting than that
of the chief deputy in the treasurer's office ,
for the reason that he must at all times be
within reach of hit ) office for the filing of
pr.pers. Ho Is required to maintain a tele
phone , and it often happens that ho works
llur.days.
The chief deputy In the county clerk's
i ffice receives $ ! )0 ) pel month , yet ho Is re-
ulrcd to furnish a $10,000 bond. A Btrlk-
Ing Instance of the Incongruity of thn treas
ury situation Is found In the fact that a $90
clerk In the office of the county clerk Is c\-
liectcd to audit and attest the figures made
by a $150 clerk In the olllre of the treas-
ui cr.

emperor of C'hlna himself has no power to

agriculturists and others occupying these

'The result Is that some of the conces

the position of being unable to deliver on
the London financial market what ono might

Information has been filed In the county ' 1
court , based on Jackson's complaint , charg
ing 1'ollce Captain Stephen Alllo nnd Officers ' !
Thomas .Montague nnd Patrick Monlson of
South Omaha with larceny as bailee
Ono night a few weeks ago Jackcon was
arrested by South Omaha policemen on the
charge of complicity In a saloon disturbance.
IIu snB ho had $83 In cash nnd some small
change at the tlmo of his arrest. The fS5
and the change wcro In separate pockots.
In accordance with the general rule Jack
son sajs ho was searched when ho was taken
Into the station. Ho thought nothing
strange of that , as ho knew It to bo regular
procedure , nnd presumed he would bo given
back his money when released. IIo alleges
tbat the next morning utter his Inc.xrcera-
{ tlon the police icturncd to him his email ,
!
! ' change , which amounted to a few dollars ,
! but that they failed to make any accounting-
j of the $83. Jackson was Inclined to believe-
| that Olllccr Hjdock was the guilty man , but
at the preliminary examination It do\el
oped that so man } othci officers were around
the station at the time of Jackson's arrest
that there was no particular icuson for fan-
tenlng upon IIdock any more than the
others IIdock denied any knowledge of
the $85. If Jackson had such sum the olll-
coraa not aware of It , ho said. It Is tin-
dcrttood that this will bo the defense of
the others accused , and Jackson ma ) ha\e
to establish as n fact that ho carried the
money with him on the night of his at rest
before ho can make a ease against the de
fendants.
H ! ) a dull day In South Omaha when
some of the police officer1 ? are not In trouble.
Hydock has been especially prominent In
this way Within the last two months he
has stood trial for assault and for larceny
as bailee , being acquitted on both charges ,
but just as he was about to get his record
clear with the courts along came a decision
from the supreme court upholding a decision
rendered b > Judge Tawcett , several months
ago , saying thnt Ilydcck must go to jail for
violation of the court's order in Interfering
with an election challenger. So to Jail went
Hjdock , and ho la still there.
The accused police officers appeared at
the court hoiibo ) cslerday and were
arraigned befoio Judge Vlnsonhalcr in the
county court Koch pleaded not guilty , and
through their attorney demandoj Immcd-
i Hto trial. The state was not icady , and
the cases were set for January 31.
