Not an employe In dispensed with; the salaries of six were Increased $"i5 and a male nurse was put la the mcn'a ward at tlip counry hospital at a salary of $10 per month, mak ing a total monthly Increase of $S5 l the pay roll. The only reduction was the rut of the salary of the day watchman at the county hospital, who will now get )25 per month instead of (35. Thus the net In crease In the total of the pay roll la 175 per month,' or tltflO' per year. All commis alonera signed the resolution, but In open meeting O'Keeffe voted against It, saying be believed there were three too many on the county clerk's staff. The bbard has' netted County Attorney English for advice as to the county's lia bility for aatary of sheriff's deputies when the board authorize their employment. The county, attorney was busy In criminal court and the hoard disposed of the sheriff's plaint by authorizing the employment of the present number of deputies, six, at a combined monthly salary of $485, "pro vided that the fees of the sheriff's office are adequate to meet the compensation ailowed." The three democrats on the board suc ceeded In replacing J. V. Thompson re publican member of -the Soldiers' Relief Commission, with M. J. Feenan, a demo crat, the two republicans voting "no." To avoid tbo ncctaslty of digging Into thnlr own pockets for contributions to the charity ball for the hospital at South Omaha the commissioners generously voted $20 of the county'a money to the Institu tion.

"No bill of more Importance to western Nebraska has been Introduced In either hoiree of this legislature than that contem plating a method for exterminating prairie dogs." said Representative Frank Currle of Liawes rounty at the Merchants' hotel yesterday morning. Mr. Currle, the author ot this bill. Is an extensive rancher In western Nebraska. He has a very large constituency, from which comes a very earnest demand for the promotion of this piece of legislation. In his possession this morning were sev eral letters from men In various lines of business out In his district, urging him to push this bill. Insisting that It was of ex treme necessity. Mr. Currle's bill provides that all farm ers within the territory most affected by these pests shall take proper means and these means are described in the bill for exterminating prairie dogs at the proper season and Imposes a penalty upon all who fail to observe this law. In the penal pro vision It Is ordered that the road overseer shall be paid $3 a day, or hire someone at that price, to distribute the prairie dog killer for the farmer and assess the cost up to the latter. "This Is the bill In effect." said Mr. Cur rle, "and there Is no reason why It should not meet the heartiest approval of every man Interested In seeing the western end of our state freed from this terrible nui sance. The cost of distributing the rem edy would not be excessive I think ought not to be over $3, or perhaps $6, per quar ter section, even If done by the officer of' the law. So no one can oppose the bill on this score. "If I were to say that there are over 1,000,000 acres of good farming land In weatern Nebraska subjected to the ravages of these pests I would not be exaggerating It at all. In the last two or three years the prairie dogs have seemed to multiply with astonishing rapidity and If some auch method is not adopted at onca we are going to be up against a fatal proposition. It's no use to say that the farmers Individually can deal with this matter. They could, but time and experience have shown that they won't. Last year I spent over $100 on my three farms trying to get rid of prairie dogs and failed. Now you say that Is a big sum of money to throw away. Yes, but It evqry farmer around me had been exercising the same effort the result would have been different. It won't do any good, or at least not much, for part of the farm ers to employ this method unless all do. The prairie dogs will go from farm to farm and unless the crusade Is generally waged it might just as well not be undertaken at all. It's a shame to allow this unnecessary devastation of crops to go on. It can be prevented and ought to be. The prairie dogs ply their mischief mostly in the wheat fields." EFFECT OF POLITICS ON CORN Result Convinces Nebraska Farmer tkat It Is Manifestly Patent. "They used to tell us that the farmer would get along better if he kept out of politics," said W. D. Lorlng, a farmer from Kearney county, at tbe Arcade hotel yes terday morning, "but It has proven to be a bad piece of advice. "Suppose," he continued, "the farmers had kept out. of politics few years ago. what do you think iwould be the condition of affairs today? Well, for my part, I ad mit I can't tell, but I am satisfied It would have been different from what It Is. "During the last year of President Cleve land's administration I sold corn 700 bush elsfor 9 cents a bushel. Tbe other day I aold corn for 32 cents a bushel. The corn I sold the other day waa not a bit better than that I let go under Cleveland for 9 centa. "I had allowed myself to be cajoled Into believing that old hodge-podge theory that It would be better for the farmer to steer clear of politics, but whjn niy corn went down to 9 cents a busbel I said to myself, said I, 'Suppose you break away and get Into politics, at least to the extent of changing your way of voting. It certainly can't be any worso tor you. And so I tried It. And thousands of farmers all over the country and thousands of others tried the scheme, and see how It has worked. "Yes, times are good out my way and I don't know of a way where they are not good. Of course the laat two republican administrations didn't have much effect on the weather, I suppose, and yet I wouldn't take an oath to that, for I have noticed that the Lord has smiled almost constantly on us ever alnce we made the change. I wouldn't be much surprised If He threw this bunch of good seasons In as a token to lis for turning from our erring ways." IS DETAINED ON SUSPICION Police Take Iowa Man lato Custody and Search His Rooms. Harry J. White was taken Into custody by the police Monday night on the charge of being a auspicious character. When he was searched at the police station he was found to have a revolver and over $200 In money upon hla person. The officers be lieve they have made a good pickup and Captain Mostyn ordered the apartments where White has been rooming thoroughly searched yesterday morning. The officers discovered a loaded cane, aeveral fine drills, which Captain Mostyn says are the best he has seen for some time, besides several articles of wearing apparel. White says that he cornea from Oskalooaa, la., where his parents, whom he aays are well-to-do, reside. He also asserts that he has a large bank account there. Chief Donahue has sent a telegram to the Iowa City to determine tbe truthfulness of White's statements, that the prisoner may not be unjustly detained or held under un due suspicion. ESTELLE NOT SO LENIENT , Criminal Court Judae Hands Out Sev eral Penitentiary Sea- traces. . Those prisoners who had been banking on Judge Eatelle aa a magistrate of great clemency received a severe Jolt on their bumps of confidence yesterday when be gave James Campbell three years In th. penitentiary after Campbell bad pleaded guilty to the charge of grand larceny, and gave Thomas Moss two years after he had pleaded guilty to the charge of uttering false checks. Gilbert Johnson, about the disposal of whom there waa some question because he la Dot quite IS years old, was sentenced to tbe penitentiary for a year for burglary. Dan McKenna was given fifteen days in Jail for taking undue liberty with the team and wagon he bad been driving for tbe C. F. Adams company, and T.

HUNDRED MEN GO OUT FIRST DAY If Printers Rentals on Strike the Book Binders, Whs Returned to Work Yesterday, May Uo Out Aaaln. With the exception of those employed by the Burkley Printing company and a num ber of the smaller Job offices, every Job printer In Omaha Is Idle, the order to quit work having been given out yesterday upon the refusal of the employers to con cede the scale of $18 per week, fifty-three hours a week work and 40 centa per 1,000 for hand composition. At Labor temple George Southard of the Typographical union said: "The strike was ordered upon the prac tical refusal of the employers to consider arbitration along the lines proposed by the union. We asked that the questions in volved between the present scale and that which the printers have demanded be sub mitted to arbitration. On the other hand, the employers demand that the arbitrators consider not the two Omaha scales, but the new scale and the old one In the light of wages paid printers In smaller towns surrounding the city, like Council Bluffs, Fremont and Lincoln. As the Omaha union has no authority In those towns it does not see what Is to be gained by considering the wages paid In those places and will not arbitrate upon the basis proposed by the employers. Samuel Rees, president of the Rees Printing com pany, waa out of the city last night when the representatives of the union and those of the employers' organization conferred and for that reason It was Impossible to reach common ground. A number of the employers said they were willing to con fer upon the basis proposed by the union, but could do 'nothing until Mr. Rees had been ronsulted. Because of his absence, also, the men were not called out of that office as soon as they were out of the others, as the committee desired to give him an opportunity to refuse to pay the scale before taking action." Hundred Men Are Out. It was reported at labor headquarters at 11 o'clock that 100 men had suspended work and that between thirty-five and forty-five more would be ordered out later. It Is said that the agreement reached be tween the employers and the book binders Monday night has especial reference to the strike of the printers. The employers con ceded what was demanded In the way of wages, but as to the decrease of one hour per week, the understanding Is that If the printers get the hour the book binders are to get It, while if they dd not get that hour, the time of the book binders Is to be the same, and that If the printers are still striking for the reduction of the hour Sat urday afternoon the book blndera are to walk out again. In the smaller shops where work has been suspended the apprentices have been called out with the Journeymen,-but In the larger shops they are permitted to remain. MR. GROUND HOG IS SORRY He Excuses Himself by Asserting; tkat He Doesn't Make Weatker. An interviewer, who called upon Ground Hog at noon yesterday' found that distin guished seer reading the comic weeklies In an effort to get to aleep again. "Well, I seemed to. have about hit It yes terday, didn't I?" was his salutation. "If this doesn't look like six weeks of winter ahead ot us, I don't want, a cent for the forecast. Of course, I haven't been up to see what'a doing, but my friend, A. Dabrned Spahhro, waa down tbla forenoon telling me about It. He said that fat men had to get out and push the street cara around the corners, that other men stood on some corners so long waiting for cars which never came that they froze their feet and kicked holes through the paving. He told me that the air was as full of snow and smoke aa the Missouri river Is of bacteria and that the walking was as disagreeable as a man with dyspepsia. Everybody is cultivating the kangaroo hop, he said, and Jumping drifts regardless of appearance, with snow working up the men's trouser legs, down the women's shoes and into tbe bosom ot every family. I can see whit's ahead for the doctor, tbe druggist and the driver of the horizontal hack. "I am rather sorry to hear of all this, but I am not to blame. I don't make the weather; I Just, foretell It. I am a fore caster, that'a what I am. And in my line I guess I am about aa good as they prow. People talk about the profit In an oil well. It Isn't In It with the. prophet in a ground hog bole." With this final bit of airy persiflage the host waved the Interviewer away and re turned to hla soporific weeklies.

A largely attended meeting of repre aentatlve farmers waa held at Oakdale on Monday for tbe purpose of discussing the Joint resolution S. F. ISO, commonly known as a bill to consolidate Omaha and Douglaa county under one government. Unanimous and active opposition to tha bill was developed. A liberal fund was raised and more pledged. P. McArdle waa chosen to attend the next few aesslons of the legislature and report at next meeting It wsa decided to make tbe organization permanent under tbe name of the Farmers' Union, the next meeting to be held at Elk horn, Neb., on Friday, February , at 1 o'clock. Those interested are Invited and urged to attend. A vigorous fight will be made on this bill. yaxative gromo auuune Cure a Cold in One Day, Cup in 3 Days On every CONSIDERS SEAL USELESS County Treasurer Elsasaer Talks of Bill Now Before tha Legislature. "If I understand It correctly," said County Tressurer Elsasaer yesterday "the so-called 'seal bill' now before the legislature would amount to nothing as a law. Its purpose Is supposed to be the empowering of county tressurers to give to a purchaser of tax certificates a deed which In Itself will be sufficient and valid title to the realty represented, but such purpose will not be accomplished by this 'seal' bill. It Is the argument. I underltand, that the treasurer ran give no valid deed now be cause he has no seal, or rather has no re corded authority for using tho seal which he has, and therefore the legislature pro poses to pass the bill giving him authority to have auch aeal and to use It. The' fact Is, lack of authority for using such seal is only one of many flaws whicb sharp lawyers will be able to pick In the law. They have been attacking this feature only because it was an easy one and the supreme court has sustained them on this technical ground, but really because It baa appeared to the court that Injustice was being done the owners of the property because of the very small amount for which the property Is sometimes made over to other banda by this selllng-for-taxes, process. In other words the supreme court will. In my opin ion, knock out tax sales on practically any little technical point sb long as It appears to the court that the real proposition of fair price Is being slighted. This matter of the treasurer's seal isn't the essential thing at all. "What I would like to see would be the passage of the bill which the Real Estate exchange has drafted. I have read It, thought over It and believe It to be exactly the right measure to meet the demands for a good sound delinquent tax law. "The city has on Its books about $3,000,- 000 In delinquent taxes and the county about $1,000,000. It Is my belief that we could wipe this latter amount off the books almost entirely If we oTuld have authority to sell certificates without embodying in them the 'specials' against city property. Speculators have been alarmed by the sev eral cases in which these 'specials' have been knocked out by the courts and now refuse to buy a certificate on which is en tered a 'special.' In many instances they would take a certificate If the special were omitted and eo enable us to get the bulk of the account off the books." A Deathblow to Malaria.

MASS MEETING0F CITIZENS Purpose Is to Impress on Legislature the Necessity of Amending; Tax Law. It Is proposed to hold a mass meeting of citizens Friday evening to take steps to impress upon the state legislature the necessity of amending the present laws under which the railroads pay only $1,302 taxes upon property which In other hands would be taxed at $250,000. The matter was proposed at the meeting of the Real Estate exchange tax committee yesterday and members of that com mittee and other citizens have decided to take the matter up. The place and exact time of meeting will be announced today. CLEANLY WOMAN. Erroneously Tb'nk' by ScourtnaT Her Scalp- ht JThe Cures Dandruff. Cleanly, waman has an erroneous Idea that by scouring the scalp, which removes the dandruff scales, she Is curing the dan druff. She may wash her scalp every day and yet have, dandruff her life long, ac companied by falling hair, too. The only way In the world to cure dandruff la to kill the dandruff germ,-and there Is no hair preparation that will do that but Newbro's Herplclde. Herplclde killing the dandruff germ .leaves the hair free to grow as healthy nature intended. Destroy the cause, you remove the effect. Kill tbe dandruff germ with Herplclde. Announcements of the Theaters. Kyrle Bellew, the distinguished English actor whose return to the New York stage last autumn after an absence of many years was heralded by the metropolitan press and public as the event of the dramatic term, will appear here. He will be supported by Miss Oretcben Lyons, now rapidly duplicat ing tbe meteoric rise of Maude Adams, and a powerful caat ot players in Harriet Ford's drsmatlzatlon of Stanley Weyman's famous story, "A ' Gentleman of France." With the single exception of Mrs. Carter In "Du Barry," "A Gentleman of France," with Kyrle Bellew aa Gaston de Marsao and Eleanor Robson as Mile, de la VI re, waa the paramount dramatic success of last sea son In New York City. A sword fight on a broad staircase between Mr. Bellew, as Gaston, snd a half score of villains, is the piece de resistance of the action aud proved good enough to accomplish a veritable sen sation on blase Broadway. But there Is evidently much more to the play than the already celebrated "fight on the staircase." Mr. Bellew opens tonight at the Boyd for a two nights' engagement.

Howell's 25c a Box at Howell Drug WOULD LET THE PUBLIC IN Lieutenant ioyernor McGilton Wants Legislative Committees Open to All. PLAN F6R HEARING ON BILLS BEFORE THEM Proposes Rale to De Incorporated in Code Governing Affairs of the Senate and House Com tnlttees. Lieutenant Governor McGilton has orig inated a plan with reference to the consid eration of bills before the legislative com mittees which he thinks ought to be Incor porated in the rules of the Benate over which body be presides. The plan provides a method whereby all parties interested directly or Indirectly In any measure may appear before the committee having the bill In charge and be beard In the discus sion of it. Lieutenant Governor McGilton has framed bis idea In this manner: All standing committees shall keep a calendar of bills in the order in which they are referred and eotiHlder the same in such order, except where pasHed by the vote of a majority of all members of said commit tee, in which ease the bill thus passed shall not lose itB place on the committee cal endar. Each standing committee shall give notice to this body, through its chairman, at least one day in advance of the tlma and place of meeting and of the bills to be considered by it, so that all persons interested may appear and request a hear ing subject to such limitations as the committee may Impose. Further Outline of Flan. The lieutenant governor further outlin ing his plan, says: "The time to be heard on any bill la while It is before the committee. The re port of the committee, while not neces sarily or Inevitably final as to its disposi tion, always has a great Influence on the ctlon of the senate or house, to which ever body it Is made. It too frequently bappena that a bill gets past tbe commit tee into the senate or house, before the commltte of tbe whole and Is placed on its final passage before outsiders who have a legitimate interest in the measure get the opportunity of being beard on it. Tbey have no way of knowing when the commit tee Is to consider the bill and consequently no opportunity of giving expression to their views. Tbe adoption of this proposed ruls, which could be used in the house aa well as the senate, would obviate all this, and, I think, be a very good thing for many other reasons.
