There Is no law (or the ofllce of county
auditor. The work comes within the pur
view of tho county clerk. Hut Douglas
county was given an auditor by the demo
cratic Board of County Commtisloncis In
1889, when one man war tet to work check
ing up records. This office has thrived,
apparently, until It has come to be a most
cor.tly affair. '
County Auditor.
The preoent forco In thfi auditor's offlco
conslstc of Harry Deuel, the auditor, $1,050;
Ilalfdan Jacobsen, the assistant, J1.000; W.
It. O'Shaughnessy, clerk, $9D0, and Mary 0.
Madden, $00. The annual salaries amount
to $3,850, and what tho county acts In re
turn for this money 1b a duplication of work
already done by several other county offices.
Messrs. Jacobsen and O'Shaughnessy put In
tholr time "checking up" the quarterly ro
ports made to the county board by the
county judge, the clerk of tho district court,
the sheriff, the register of deeds, the treas
urer and the county clerk; Mr. Deuel super
vises this work, and the other employe of
tho ofllce, Mary 0. Madden, takes lessons In
stenography and practices In tho ofllce of
the county superintendent of schools. Miss
Madden Is a sister-in-law of Commissioner
Hoctor.
Flvo years ogo there were three men on
the auditor's payroll and the annual
salaries amounted to $3,069. SO, jutt $780.04
less than the presont yearly amount. The
ork of tho offlco then was the fame hs It
Is now, the results having alwuys been Im
material. This ofllce Is regarded by nil
cltlzons who aro familiar with county af
fairs as absolutely useless, causing a clear
wasto of $3,850 of the public funds this
year.
Court limine.
Tho courthouse Is nu larger, nor Is It
any better kept than It was five years ago,
tut It requires $1,080 more a year for Janitor
service thnn It did In 1896. Up to the be
ginning of the year 19U0 tho courthouso
forco consisted of an cnglnter, who also
served as chief janitor, at $1,080 a year, and
thrco BtBtstants at $600 a year each, ruak
'ing tho total of the annual salaried $2,880.
In 1900 tho county board put on a fourth
assistant janitor at $600 and Indulged In
the luxury of a groundkocper at a cost of
$600, thus adding $1,200 to the yearly ex
pense without Improving tho service.
In 1901 the office of superintendent of
tho courthouse was created, especially for
tho benefit of Ed Dee, and the salnry was
Hxcd at $1,080 a year. As $300 was cut oft
the salary of the engineer the net Increase
In the annual payroll was $7S0.
Seven men aro employed to do tho same
work that was satisfactorily performed by
four men up to two yearn ago, and tho
amount of the annual salaries has In
creased from $2,880 In 1899 to $4,860 In 101.
The groundkecper, Henry Heal, who hap
pens to be a rolatlvo of Commissioner Hoc
tor, draws his monthly otlpond the year
round and when there Is any snow to
shovel In the winter time a colored man
Is hired by tho day to do tho work.
Superintendent Dee may be found at
almost any" hour of the dny with his feet
perched upon a desk In his ofllco swapping
stories with a select company of popocratlc
ward politicians who drop In to assist him
In killing time.
t I'our Agent,
Tho beit Index to tho amount of work
done by the county agent's ofllce Is found
In the record of amounts spont each year
for outsldo poor relief. Tho expenditures
on this account havo been as follows:
1MW I1MM.13
Jf.97 17.334 01
1898 17.l99.i6
lf.'JD 11,192 33
1W0 1S.W6 99
In 1896, when $18,626 was spent for the
relief of tho poor, tho county agent, at
a salary of 1900, attended to tho work
alone. In 1897, when tho work was less,
tho forco Included, the county ngent and
threo assistants, each of whom received
a salary of 1600 a year. Then for threo
years tuo work was done by the agent and
one assistant. For tho year 1901 tho force
conslstH of tho agent and two assistants,
although tho work will be considerably
less than It was last year.
The two assistants were allowed by tho
county board as temporary employes last
winter, but they havo remained on the
payroll all summer. Tho relief work dur
ing the summer months Is very' light, not
being sufficient to keep even one man busy.

A. B. DcLong, receiver of tho East
Omaha Land company, has taken steps to
require the Omaha and Council niuffs Street
RalUay company to maintain a lino of
street cars from Omaha to Kast Omaha and
to replace tho track recently removed In
East Omaha.
Tho action has been started In the United
States circuit court and a restraining
order bus been Issued returnable September
11, against N. V. Wolls, J. 11. Millard and
V. U. Tarklngton, officers of the company,
commanding them to show cause why a
temporary Injunction should not bo Is
sued pending tho hearing of tho causo In
chief.
Tho petition of the plaintiff states tbot
A. D. DeLong was appointed receiver of tho
East Omaha Land company In an action
brought by Oliver Ames and others against
the company and this fact alone makes It
posslblo to bring the suit In the federal
court. Tho petition further states that
some years ago a contract was entered Into
between the Interstate Ilrldge and Street
Hallway company, by which the land com
pany granted It the right to use certain
streets of East Omaha for Its lines, tho
railroad company agreeing to maintain n
line of street cars between Sixteenth and
Locust streets In Omaha to the eastern
limits of East Omaha.
It Is alleged that this contract was after
ward assumed by the East Omaha Street
Railway company, then by A. D. DeLong,
trusleo, who transferred the property and
tho contract to Townsond, Heed & Co.; that
tho latter transferred tho contract and
property to tho Omaha & Council ninffs
Suburban Itnllway company, which entered
into a new contract by the terms of which
the railway company ngreed In consider
ation of a donation of certain lands nnd lots
to maintain a line of street cars over cer
tain streets in East Omaha and to oper
ate a power house In that town.
Tho petitioner now alleges that tho
company has failed to fulfill Its contract,
but, on tho other hand, thrnueh Itn nnii
and officers has torn up portions of tho
iracK aireaay Jam anil lins abandoned the
lino and haB dono this In spite of an In
junction lemed by the district court of
Douglas county, Nebraska. Tho relief
asked Is not only an Injunction to restrain
the defendant from tcarlnir un other nnrt
of the trnuk, but to require It to restore
mo iracK nireauy removed and to operate
the line of road as sneclfled In thn in
contract with tho company.

Speaking of his trip Mr. Drake says: "We
were In such a hurry that we hid llttlo
opportunity to see anything, the trip being
moro In the nature of an outing. One thing
that impressed me was tho apparent differ
ence In the hanks of Europe and those of
America. Here wo havo all of our men
and all of our business in sight. Over
there banks employing probably hundreds
of clerks will havo for their office a little
dingy room, where halt a doten clerks may
be seen, but no rnorrt Tney must keep
their working force upstairs, for they are
not In evidence.
"Switzerland is tho playground of Eu
rope and It Is fast becoming the play
ground of America, too. We found the
mountains overrun with Americans and tho
valleys packed with them. The hotels of
London and Paris, at lenet those we saw,
seem to derive their principal revenue from
the Yankee tourists and they have tho most
Ingenious devices for extracting the last
dollar from their purses. Such a trip Ii
not calculated to glvo one n very good Idea
of the people or the countries, but It Is
certainly fine for an outing, such at we
made It."

ONE'S ILL, ANOTHER'S GOOD
Steel Strike Una HroiiRht .Many Order

Slock on IIiiikI.
Omaha Jobbers of Iron and steel have
mado n good thing out of the strlko In tho
Pennsylvania steel mills and havo not been
materially crippled by failure to receive
goods. On,o of tho jobbers said:
"Omaha dealers wcro moro fortunate man
those of Chicago, St. Louis nnd many other
cities. Moro by nccldcnt than dostgn tho
most of our contracts for futuro delivery
were placed with Independent mills which
havo not been affected by tho strlko. As a
result, whllo deliveries havo boon slow, wo
have succeeded In keeping our orders filled
nnd our stocks In nlmost as good shape as
thoy ever have been.
Our sales havo been Immense. Builders
nnd consumers of Iron and steel who havo
In pervious years dealt with other cities
havo been compelled to como to Omaha for
their goods, aa fow western dealers could
supply thum after tho steel strlko had lasted
threo weeks.
"Thero has been n great advanco In tho
prleo of several lines handled by us and
consequently we have been benefited In
moro ways than one. Tho advanco has been
as high as $16 per ton on somo lines nnd
in theso lines we wero well stocked. As
long as tho steel strlko continues wo will
do n big buBtnesa nnd wo hopo that when It
Is over wo will hold a largo part of tho
trado sjnt to us by the misfortune of tho
dealers In other towns whoso orders wore
placed with tho companies In tho combln
tlon. "There Is another pleasant thing for us
to look forward to and that Is, no matter
how soon the Btrlko Is settled prices will
not go down until nil stocks on hand aro
moved. Tho steel company so controls tho
situation that It can mako tho price and It
Is certain that it will permit no rcductlou
until It has succeeded in getting back somo
of tho money lost In tho strlko."

"ntrlck Touhy, tho veteran rnllto.vlcr
who for the last thirty years has been Iden
tified with the railroads of tho west auJ
for tho last seven years has been superin
tendent nt tho Denver union depot, died
at Denver on Tuesday. His death was not
unexpected. It was due primarily to nerv
ous prostration, which eventually affected
his brain, For several days prior to his
death he was unconscious and nt times dur
ing tho last few weeks ho has been unable
to recognize his most Intimato friends.
Mr. Touhy has been In tho railroad busi
ness practically all of his life. When tho
New York Central road was building In
1852 ho entered tho service of tho compnny
as water boy. Ho filled In succession the
positions of track laborer, section foreman,
fireman, brakeman, foreman of work train,
freight conductor, roadmastcr nnd assistant
superintendent. In 180S he enmo west and
went to work as engineer on the Nebraska
division of tho Union Pacific, living for a
long time at Grand Island.
P. J. Nichols, a well known railroad man
formerly of Omaha, who has been noting
superintendent of tho depot while Mr.
Touhy has been 111, will probably succeed
htm. He was superintendent of tho Ne

tinues nnu -,mii nuvo no sugnt uearing upon
September trade.
There Is r. change, although slight, in tho
condition of tho canned goods market, which
brings relief to the Jobbers. Slnco the mid
dle of August thero has been a great In
crease In the amount of corn which can be
canned In tho west, Several canning fac
tories which had scut word thnt they could
only 1111 part of their orders havo notified
tho houses that they can make full de
liveries, but thnt aBldo from tho advance
sales they can supply no good3.
Tho condition of tomatoes has changed
slightly for tho better, but not so much as
corn. Other vegetables remain tho sama
ns at tho middle ot August, all being scarce,
with tho probability of an ndvanco ltr prlco
as soon ns tho fresh stock Is entirely off
tho market.
Si lti iii ii lu II I'll Ii Market.
Thero has been a slump In tho prlco of
navy beans, consequent upon bear reports
from tho potato fields. Whlto beans closely
follow tho prlco of potatoes, they being
used to a considerable, extent to take tho
place of tubers In times of scarcity.
Tho Omaha fruit nnd vegotnble market
presented llttlo change yesterday, prlco3
being about tho same ns yesterday on all
Hues.
Missouri peaches nre a thing of tho past,
tho receipts from that stato now being
small and poor In quality tho clean-up of
tho season. Their pluco Is being tnken by
peaches from Colorado nnd Idaho. This
stock Is not ns fine as that from Missouri
and Is not as well packed as that from Cali
fornia. The result Is thnt prices arc un
stablo nnd vary bo much according to size
nnd qunllty of f r tilt and condition of pack
ing that quotations arc misleading. Stock
of ordinary qunllty sold as low as 60 cents
per half-bushel basket, whllo good stock
brought $1.23 per crato.
Tho first shipment of Now York Bnrtlett
pears was received yesterday In bushel
kegs, which sold nt $2.25 each. Tho stock Is
green and only good for preserving or stor-
