A. Benson, the defeated bolting republican
candidate for mayor of Omaha; Charles A.

here today to get Governor Mickey to ap
point Elmer E. Thomas, populist, to take
the place of C. C. Wright, the retiring dem
ocrats member of the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners.
Evidently Erastus A. Benson Is trying to
pay a political debt, for U will be remem
bered that the populists of Omaha placed
the name of Benson at the head of their
ticket In the late contest. In return now
comee Benson with his eelect crowd to ask
Governor Mickey to name a populist to
take the place of a democrat.
Elmer E. Thomas wee at one
time deputy county attorney under
County Attorney Bhlelds. Owing to
a failure on the part of Mr.
Thomas to rightfully fuse at the auto
conventions held by the populists and dem
ocrats. It haa always been believed he re
signed from hie poaltion, and a good
fuser" in the person ot Oeorge Magney
was appointed by Mr. Shields. Mr. Thomas
aid he resigned because hla own business
waa so numerous that he could not devote
sufficient time to the duties of the office.
The Beneonltes were closeted with Governor
Mickey at length, but they got little sat
isfaction. Governor Mickey Is not filling
offices before a vacancy occurs and he bo
Informed the delegation, but Inasmuch aa
the men were here he listened to them.
Thla la the first delegation to call upon
the governor lnce Mr. Wrlghfa election

even considering the appointment aa yet.
Mr. Wright doea not resign until May 56,
and the office will not run away, ao he In

Gordon After Salary.
Samuel I. Gordon once, henceforth and
forevermore police judge of the city ot
Omaha Is at It again at the supreme court
and today Judge Eller argued In answer to
the brief of City Attorney Connell to show
why he la entitled to a salary earned aa
J judge of the "Mlsquot Court."
In beginning hla annual Judge Eller, at
"torney for Judge Gordon, states that the
"proceeding Is not an ordinary action to re
cover salary, but that It Is a mandamus
proceedings to require the mayor and coun
cil to furnish relator his voucher for a
part of his salary covering a period of his
term." The lifetime attorney for lifetime
judge holds that Judge Berka, who la now
earning the aalary, haa no legal title to the
office and 4hat no person haa been eiected
or qualified aa a auccessor to Judge Gordon.
The attorney holds that there Is no statute
authorising the election of a police Judge
for the city of Omaha at the general elec
tion and that the ordinance la void and can
give no such authority.
The brief ot the respondents argues that
Louis Berka was elected "for police judge
of the district of Omaha." That the "gen
eral election was held In the district of
Omaha." That the "district covers the
whole territory." In answer to that Judge
Eller said: "If It Is true aa contended by
respondents In their brief, that Berka la

Judge Eller will hand In his bill for the

Anniversary la Appropriately Ob
erved hy tha' Members at '
Plattsmoath.
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb., "May 19. (Spe
cial.) The Epworth league celebrated the
thirteenth anniversary of Its organisation
In the First Methodist Episcopal church In
this city Sunday evening. That date also
marked the fourteenth anniversary of the
national organisation and the 200th anniver
sary of John Wesley'a birth. "Softly Now
the Light of Day" waa sung by the young
women. After a few appropriate remarks
by President E. H. Wescott, C. 8. Polk
said: "The local chapter of the Epworth
league was organised In June, 1890, at the
home of Washington Smith, by a few
young people and the pastor of the church,
Rev. J. D. M. Buckner; Rev. Fred Smith,
now of the northwest Nebraska confer
ence, was elected president; Miss Alice
Wilson, now a teacher In the Denver
schools, vice president, and R. W. Brown,
now of Los Angeles, Cal., secretary.
During the thirteen years the league haa
maintained the department of spiritual
work, mercy and help, literary and social
work, and haa collected and distributed In
money and clothing and provisions during
that period over $1,300 in value. The league
contributed $35 to the Morocco mission for
the work carried on by George Reed of
Weeping Water, and haa for several years
supported a Bible reader In India.
Rev. Asa Sleeth delivered an able ad
dress upon the life work of "John Wesley
Among other things he said that all 'great
epochs of history were marked by the
spirit and character ot some great man
That John Wesley was pre-eminently the
man of the hour, when the church of the
seventeenth century had fallen Into mate
rlallsm and decay. Educated, refined, with
powdered wig and faultless dress, he played
with a master hand upon the emotions and
feelings of his audiences, without seeming
to be affected by the same emotions.
they wanted to shout, he let them shout
If they wanted to cry, he let them cry
but he maintained his calm and even-tem
pered way.
It waa not hla purpose or Intention to
establish a new church in the world, but
when the exigencies of the rapidly grow
lng society came upon him his leadership
and management ot men and means were
tactful and supreme. John Wesley said
that "the world la my paribh," so that he
and every follower of his must be essen
tlally a missionary. The sun never seta
upon Methodists today, and, travel where
you may, you will find Methodist Sunday
class meetings, Sunday schools and Ep
