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

publican member of -the Soldiers' Relief
Commission, with M. J. Feenan, a demo

To avoid tbo ncctaslty of digging Into
thnlr own pockets for contributions to the

CRUSADE ON PRAIRIE DOGS
General Demand la Western Kr
braska for Passage of
Carrie Rill.
"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.

JOB PRINTERS ON A STRIKE
ResoWe to Stand for tbe Bsw Scale of
Eighteen Dollars Per Week.
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.

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."

MASS MEETING0F CITIZENS
Purpose Is to Impress on Legislature
the Necessity of Amending;

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

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

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.
"If such s rule wsa Incorporated In tha
code governing the two bodies It would
bave a great tendency to abolish the false

ANOTHER SCHEME BUSTED
The new pet Idea of some of the patent
medicine manufacturers to force the prl.-es

has fallen by the wayside already. The

Idea which seems to prevail In the mlnda
of aome that the public has no right to be
heard before committees or even attend
committee meetings. Legislative commit
tee meetings are not necessarily secret af
fairs, and It ought to be thoroughly under
rtood by every committee that Its delibera
tions are of concern to the people at large
and that anyone having any business before
those meetings Is entitled to sttend them
and transact that business. I want to see
the rule adopted not only In the aenate,
