Commissioner O'Koeffe'a efforts to securo
' more economical anil buslness-llko ml
ministration of tho nffnlrs of Douglas
county naturally fall to enlist hearty sup
port from tho democrats. To seo soft snaps
with comfortable salaries attached wiped
out of existence Is more than tbo utitcrrllled
can stand. '
County Clerk Miller, having emerged from
A contest In which he Imitated Job, who
said, "And I am cscuped by tho sltln of my
teeth," now dcllen tho Hoard of County
Commissioners and says he will retain a
number of clerks uqual to tho force of his
predecessor, whether needed or not. Miller's
contention is that for fifteen years he has
been among tho hewers of wood and draw
ers of water of his party, and now
that ho ic in a position to control a llttlo
patronage ho doesn't propose to havo tho
opportunity destroyed by nny set of men
who meroly want to savo money for tho
people. During hlB fifteen years of con
'sclentlous effort to further tho Interests of
tho democratic party and securo an offleo
for himself, Mr. Miller has contracted somo
political obligations, and ho naturally wants
to dlschargo these. Payment can only come
out of the public colters, and any measure
which tends In the least to hamper his
access tov tho' treasury will meet his opposi
tion. One of iho bitterest pills Miller has had
to swallow Is that the move tor economy
It headed by a democrat from South Omaha.
Little Grain or Comfort,
And still he finds a llttlo grain of com
fort even In this. When tha clamorous
horde of South Omaha faithful approach
him for tho redemption of promises made
during the campaign he answers that four
1 clerkships have been cut off in his olllco
and among them were tho two be had In
tended giving to South Omaha. Then ha
points out that Dick O' Recite Is the man
who Is doing It. O'Kccffo Insists that Miller
shall take upon himself a share of tho work
to bo done In tho county clerk's office "ml
earn a portion of tho salary tho county pajv
him.
Probably the most Interesting fight In tho
whole list Is tho one that In being carried,
on for tho retention of tho sinecure carried
on the pay roll under tho name of "county
auditor." No warrnnt of law for this ofllco
exists. t la an excrescence from the days
of 1889, when tho county board, constituted
of four democrats aud one republican, was
divided against tho thon county clerk,
"Mickey" Roacho. W.- J. Mount was chair
man, and on tho floor were L. M. Anderson
and "Dill" Turner, the only republican
member, arrayed against Dick O'Kooffo and
Pete Corrlgan. Jack Evans was employed
to check over the bills returned by Sheriff
Coburn and later his duties were extended
Mo a sort of surveillance of the county
clerk'a office and thon to the ofllco of
recorder of deeds, then held by "Jeff"
Mcgeath.
How a Job Grow.
Prom this small and unostentatious be
ginning tho position of "county auditor"
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
perseverance in its use will work won
ders for the most hopeless woman. If
Mrs. Newton, whose letter is given
below, had not persisted in its use, she
might never have known the happiness
of perfect health. Perhaps the reason
for ner persistence, was because nhc used
"Favorite Prescription" as a "last re
sort." Physicians had failed. If "Favor
ite Prescription" could not help there
was nothing to hope for. It did help. It
always helps nnd almost always cures.
It establishes regularity, dries weaken
ing drains, heals Inflammation and ulcer
ation and cures female weakness. It
itnpatts strength and elasticity to the
organs of maternity nnd makes the
baby's ndvent practically painless.

Whllo Crcssoy nnd Dayno were playing
their recent week's engagement at the Or

ised Spud Karrlsh that sho would dress a
doll for the actress' doll display for tho
coming Elks' fair. The doll was received
by Mr. Karrlsh on Monday and was accom
panied by a characteristic letter from Miss
Dayno to the- Elks' lodge, wherein she
stated that In a moment of weakness sho
had consonted to Mr. Farrlsh's request.
She then goes on to say:
I might Just as well have promised to
ttn lid a house, but I have labored relig
iously with the young lady for two weeks,

When the doll was received at tho Elks'
rooms the ladles' associate committee was
holding i meeting nnd they were unanl-'

It was on exhibition yesterday afternoon In

CUT-OFF LAKE FOR A PARK

ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Mr. Cornish Thlnha the Lake mill flnr-
rounding Conlil tlr Mnde Into
as Mi'f n Pnrk an Can
He Desired.
"Cut-Off lake and a strip of land 3CJ
feet wide along the Nebraska shore of the
lako can bs purchased for about $25,000,
or one-half of tho amount which the city
must pay for the twenty-two acres of land
Included In the projected park on the Muff
tract," said Park Commissioner E. J. Cor
nish. "Land adjoining Cut-Off lake Is as
sessed at low prices and can bo acquired
by condemnation proceedings with small
expenditure. In my opinion, tho portion of
the lake bed which Is In Nebraska and
nearly "00 acres of adjoining land can bo
had for $25,000.
"Sixty-nine acres of land extending from
a block south of Locust street to the lake
bed and Included within tho city limits
of Omaha Is assessed at $8,760. I believe
that this property could bo taken by con
demnation proceedings at $15,000, and It
to far tho most expensive land In the
vicinity of the lake. A tract of land 300
feet wide extending around the Iowa side
of the lako will Include about 100 acres.
Much of this Is assessed at very low fig
ures and I believe that tho land we need
can bo had at an average price of $100 per
acre.
lied of l.lttlr Vnlne.
"The lake bed Is of llttlo value. In It
thero Is about 191 acres of land. All of
this Is so low that It Is practically worth
less and will yield only the rent the Ice
men pay. Two thousand dollars would, In
my opinion, be about all that the land In
tho lako bed is worth.
"Cut-Off lako offers as fine a .natural site
for a park as can be desired. Lake Como,
In St. Paul, was formerly such a body of
water as Cut-Off lake. Dredging and Im
provement would make Cut-Off as beautiful
a lako as Como. A strip 300 foot wldo
around the lake would afford an excellent
opportunity for parking. At tho ojtcr edge
of tho strip trees and shrubs could be
planted, which would give a wooded effect,
and a fine boulevard could be laid out be
tween the trees and tho lako shoro. At
small expense the lake could be dredgod
and tho shores could be built up several
(ect with tho soli taken from tho lake bed.
"If properly dredged Cut-Off lako would
mako a much better body of water for
sailing than Manawa. It lies In the shape
of a U and offers a greater variety of shoro
and much prettier scenic effects. The Iowa
shoro should also be acquired, but It will
be Impossible to do that until the land Is
made a part of Nebraska by action of tha
legislatures of tbo two states."

CUTS HIS THROAT ON TRAIN
Why Old Gcntlcmnn from Iowa Falls

S. Towne, an old man from Dow City, la.,
bowed his head on his arms In the office of
Superintendent Robinson at the Durllngton
station yesterday morning and heaved dry,
tearless sobs that racked his frail body and
seemed to gush from a broken heart.
He had Just been told that his son, whom
ho had como to Omaha to meet, had cut
bis own throat at Edgemont, S. D., and
was lying In a hotel there at tho point of
death. No further Information nor expla
nation of any kind could be gleaned.
W. E. Towne, tho son, should have ar
rived In Omaha yesterday on Durllngton
train No. 6. He wroto his father when he
was coming home and the latter camo from
Dow City and was nt tho station to meet
the train, which arrives at 6:45. It camo,
but no son appeared.
The old man waited around disconsolately
and about 8 o'clock station officials began to
arrive. Finally he appealod to Mr. Robin
son, and as they were talking tho tele
gram came from Edgemont with the nows.
The wlro said that the young man's
ticket was marked Billings to Omaha, and
It asked Mr, Robinson for possible In

"Some time ago my daughter caught a
severe cold. She complained of pains In her
chest and had a had cough. I gave her
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to
directions and In two days she was well and
able to go to school. I have used this
remedy In my family for the past seven
years and have never known It to fall,"
says James Prendcrgast, merchant, Annato
Day, Jamaica, West India Islands. The
pains In the chest Indicated an approaching
attack of pneumonia, which In this Instanco
was undoubtedly warded off by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. It counteracts any
tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. For

Last Year's Overlap, However, In Not
Included In This Call Commis
sioner O'KeeSTe Wishes Med
icines Famished.
City Trcssurer Koutsky made a call yes
terday for warrants, which amtunts to
nearly 70,000.- This call Is the largest sin
gle call In the history of tho city. Inter
est on warrants called will Btop January
25. Tbbse are the warrants called: Gen
eral fund, uprto and Including registered
number 1231; police fund, 911; fire and
water, 6J2; Judgment, 146; engineer fund,
98; water, 60; public light. 139; streot re
pair, 3S9; salary, 737.
This ill does not Include the $42,000
overjap of last year, as tho funds on hand
are sufficient only for the payment of
claims contracted provlous to the overlap.
It is expected that as soon as tbo money
Is paid Into the treasury Mr. Koutsky will
call the overlap warrants In order to save
the city Interest which It is paying on out
standing claims.
December receipts In tho trensuror's
office 'ft ere for in advance of nny previous
year since the city was Incorporated. Dur
ing December the treasurer collected $62,
133 In real, personal and special taxes.
This Is remarkable considering that thno
of tho heavy taxpsylng corporations paid
only one-half of tho 1901 taxes due. Tho
largeBt sum beretoforo collected In Decem
ber was In 1898, when tho treasurer de
posited In the Packers' National bank the
sum of $26,306.
While general and special taxes arc still
coming In somo of tho payments will he
deferred until the end of May, when all of
the 1901 tax Is duo. It Is hoped by the
city officials that money onough will be
paid In before long to take up tho overlap
and leave nothing for current expenses.
Assistant County Physician Problem.
County Commttsloner Richard O'Keefte Is
preparing to make a request of the city
authorities In tho nutter of supplying med
icines for the county patients hero. In
times past this has been done occasionally
for the reason that tho assistant county phy
sician attended many city emergency cases,
Commissioner O'Keeffe Is quoted as saying
that unless the city of South Omaha will
furnish medicine for South Omaha's county
patients ho will not advocate tho appoint
ment of an assistant county physician. It
Is a rertalnty that thU concession will
not be made by the city at this time, for
the reason that South Omaha supports a
Board of Health and a city physician, and
tho cases formerly looked after by tho
resident county physician can be .taken
care of by the city physician. "The ex
penses of the Hoard of Health are already
largo enough," said a mombor of the coun
cil yesterday, "without adding tho cost of
medicines for county patients,"
Another official ventured the remark that
the city, had all It could attend to now,
and with a wideawake Doard of Health
and a city physician the city was carrying
all of the load It can. Should O'Keeffe
stick to bis statement his appolntmont or
Dr. W. S. White as assistant county phy
sician will be long deferred.

The mayor hopes to be able to mako such
a showing that he will be renominated
without opposition by the republican.
Frank Koutsky Is, however, to bo consid

first-class city treasurer, and his frlondb

now as If ths fight for the nomination is
between Kelly and Koutsky. Owing to tho

happiness when grown. 'When a laxative la needed the remedy which Is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts arc known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of Its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason It is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy '.tUIcIi acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, Irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
era sometimes offer to Increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please

ferred for two weeks and that the council
would Insist upon naming the board.
A member of the council said last night
that In all probability nine men would bo
chosen, thus cutting oft tho four women to
whom Mayor Kelly had promised positions.
Tho fact that the revised ordlnanco was
passed over the mayor's veto goes to show
that tho .council as a body Is not In favor
of his honor's selection of members.
Rumor has It that 'Mayor Kelly will, at
tho next council meeting send In the same
list of names he presented last Monday
night. It Is safo to. wager that the ap
pointments will not be confirmed as the
council holds that the mayor has no au
thority to name tho members of the pro
posed board.
Hoard Members Indicted.
On tho streets yesterday It was reported
that seven of tho nine members of the
Board of Education had been Indicted by
the grand Jury tor malfeasance In office.
The members alleged to have been Indicted
are Bulla, Loecbncr, Ficenec, Miller, Kubat,
Schroeder, Murphy. Those who cucapod
ore supposedly Lott and Ryan.
It Is reported that the Indictments wcro
returned on the grounds that the board let
a contract to the architect of the board
for plans for a High school building and
paid him the regular fee of G per cent tot'
drawing plans In speaking of these In
dictments Inst night one member of tho
board said that the caso was so trivial that
no attention would bo paid to the matter.
"There has been no effort," said this mem
ber, "to secure legal advice. We who ura
supposed to bo Indicted will let the matter
rest as It Is and will not employ an at
torney to look nftcr the case as there Is
really nothing to It." Malfeasance In offleo
Is punishable by a line and It Is asserted
that when the Indictments are returned to
tho criminal court tho members of tho board
will show up and plead individually, with
out the aid of an attorney, as they consider
that thero Is no necessity for such an ex
penditure of monoy.
