County Commissioner Tom Iloctor sent
In his resignation ns a member of the
"Don't Worry club" yesterday when he
was confronted with the proposition of
having to appoint an assessor to make the
county assessment this spring. Dy tho pro
visions of the new charter a tax commis
sioner Is to mUke the assessment for the
city and ono assessor is delegated to make,
the county assessment. This section of
tho charter, It Is assorted, legislates out
of office the four nssessors elected last
Novomber and It will devolve upon the
county commissioners to appoint one as
sessor to do tho work. As Iloctor repre
sents South Omaha on the Hoard of County
Commissioners ho will virtually have the
naming of tho assessor, and that is why
ho sovered his connection with the club
mentioned above. In spcnklng of tho mat
ter Iloctor said- "I nm surely worried
nhout this. Tho passage of the charter
legislated the assessors out of office and I
will hnvo to name some one rann to do the
work. It Is the selection of n proper pur-
son that Is causing my hair to turn grny
and Is driving me to the verge of In3an
Ity." Up to noon yestordny Mr. Iloctor
had received eighteen applications for the
place, und then ho took to the woods and
was not to he found around his usual
haunts during tho rest of the dny. Appllca

ter will hnvo to ho settled very soon, as the

The reported cases of poisoning from tho
uso of ulum buklng powder hnve awakened
the public tu the serious danger which
menaces thn health of tho people of this
country In the numerous alum powders
which are urged upon consumers.
Generally, alum powders may bo Known
from the prlcn at which they nre sold, or
from tho fact thnt they nro nccompanled by
a gift, or aro disposed of under some
scheme. Tho alum powder costs but n
fow rents a pound to make, and Is often
sold nt twenty or twenty-five rents a pound;
sometimes as low ns ten cents.
It Is Impusslblo to namo all thu alum
powders In the market, but any baking pow
der sold ut a low prlco, or advertised as
costing much less than tho well-known,
high-class powdors. pr accompanied by a
prebent, or disposed of under nny scheme,
Is of this class, detrimental to health und
to be avoided.
These facts should Incline consumers to
turn n deaf ear to all Importunities to buy
the Inferior powders. The wlso housekeeper
will decline lu nil cases to take 'them.
