TIIE OMAITA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY. MARCn 20. 1A04. MAHER NOW OUT OF A JOB Court Reporter Hk'xct 14itaks of Not Fol lowing tbe Bryan Wggon- IS DISMISSED BY A POPULIST JUDGE Two MiM-ola Mm Fall to Win f raska Hrldea and Are Willing to Take llllnnls oarl filrls. Mis- rTrom, a Staff Correspondent.) .IN'COI.N, March (Special.) john O. Msher. member of the ilerdmsn element of democrats, has been removed from hla position SB court reporter for the Fifteenth judicial district and In Ills plare C. B. Scott, vice chairman of the democratic state com mittee and a radical Bryan democrat, has been appointed. The removal and appointment vii made by Judfre Harrington, populist, for the reason, o It Is reported here on good au thority, that Mr. Mahrr advocated at the democratic state, committee meeting the holding of one convention at a late date. Judge Harrington acting under orders or upon advice given him by friends of Mr. Bryan. At this time Mr. Maher Is out of town and Is supposed to have gone to O'Neill to see Judge Harrington and until his re turn this cannot be confirmed, but an 1ntl mate friend of Mr. Maher stated that Judge Harrington had written a letter dis missing Maher, In Which he stated thnt many members of the bar had made com plaints against him for being so much In politics, and that besides, owing to his fic tion at the democratic state committee meeting held recently, many I'.ryan demo crats had demanded his removal. Judge Harrington Is quoted ns saying that he believed with these men, and as they were men of .prominence he could not do other than to act upon their demands. While there Is no doubt thai Mr. Maher received the letter of dismissal from Judge Harrington and there Is no doubt of the reasons for the dismissal, there are some here who do not believe that Judge Har rington would have discharged Maher even at the request of Mr. Bryan himself, for the simple fact Judge Harrington owed to Maher hla election. During the cam paign and before, Maher acted as Judge Harringtons press agent and before the election lie worked night and day for his success and Is In a large measure respon slble for Harrington being on the bench at this time. But Maher hss been discharged and C.' B. Pcott, who at the democratic state commit tee meeting stood for those things that Mr. Bryan wanted him to stand for, has been appointed In hla place. This action of Judge Harrington In dismissing Maher and making the mistake of giving his reasons In a letter, It Is said, will materially In crease the fast widening breach between the Bryan and anti-Bryan democrats, with the result that a magnificent fight will be pulled off In the state convention. The removal of Maher Is believed to he the beginning of a crusade by the Bryan managers on all democratic or populist ap pointees who have In the least expressed en optnlcn that could be construed as an tagonistic to Mr. Bryan or free silver, With these men out of office It is believed their Influence for harm, so far as Bryan Is concerned, would be materially lessened. Orders Vlnesrar Returned. Deputy Kood Commissioner Thompson has ordered returned to the wholesale mer chants sixty-five barrels of vinegar that analysis proved to be adulterated. The vinegar was discovered In stores in these towns: Columbus, Madison, Norfolk, , Wayne, Emerson, render, Bancroft, Lyons, . Oakland and Tekamau. The analysis made by State Chemist Walker showed that none of the vinegar was the pure cider article and that all of It had been artificially colored, and was grain vinegar. Mr. Thompson ordered the retail merchants to return the vinegar to the wholesale mer chants, but he has not yet decided whether i to prosecute the merchants for violating the pure food laws. Pleads Oulltr to Embnilentat. In the presence of his wife, father and ' mother, Edgar Waugh, defaulting county treasurer's clerk, this afternoon pleadud guilty to the charge of embexslcment and was sentenced to four years In the state penitentiary. So far, it la said, the short age found by Accountant Gilchrist has amounted tu about (3.300, most of which Waugh is said to have used In defense of a nan charged with robbery, with whose Isters he was infatuated. Many persons poke a good word In behalf of the young tan, and it was this and hid previous good putatlon that saved him from more so vre punishment Objects to Par Ins Insurance. "o prevent Mrs. Elisabeth Hardinger, ardlan, from recovering upon a life In suunce policy held by Quorge S. Hardinger, deeased, in the Modern Brotherhood of Arerlea, the company this morning filed a hlef in the suprcnio court In an endeavor to rove that Hardll.ger took his own life. At he time of taking out the policy Hard ing was cashier .of a bank at Overton, i'b from whlcli, during the same year, he ta discharged because he was a de , faultr to a large amount. He at once left i Nebrska and went to Englewood, near C'hlcaro. Two years later, so the brief clalnad, . Hardinger, while in a flat in Chlcno, during the absence of his wife, as otirconie by gas, and in this condition whs dlcovered by the postman. The brief cliiline. that In this Instance Hardinger had alenvpted suicide, because when he recoverd consciousness he was asked by the phjnVlsn why he had turned on the gas. ant he only "grinned." About ten months lalwr Hardinger was found dud, beside a log In a lonely spot on an laind In Jackson park. He had a bullet ho; in his temple and beside him lay a revolve, from which evidently the shot had ueenlred. His clothing was unruflled and the ift arm was lying straight out along his de. The revolver was near hU right hand Two police officers who heard the shot lished to the place and found Hardingi r lead, and the smell of powder Was still oatlnrt. It was daylight, and. the brief clslms, there was no Indication that Hardingr had been murdered. Two Want Wives. W. H. Cnnklln, 14 North Th'rtleth street, and Joseph Wahl of Thirty-second and Doane streets want to get married, and in either of them some good woman will And a good, loving. klnl. affectionate, robust husband, capable of earning a good living. Cnnklln. who said he had bucked the matrimonial market In Nebraska un successfully, wrote to the chief of police in Pt. l,ouls for assistance In securing a helpmeet; not. however. because he wanted a police diameter, but because he yearned for one of those corn-fed Missouri girls that he had read about so much. Wahl does not object to big feet. Just so he gets hi wife, and has written to the chief of police In Chicago for as sistance. He. too, has failed In Nebrsska so far as landing with the fair sex, but his friends say that neither failed becaue they were not full of the material for the making of good husbands, but because they have heretofore been too bashful. Neither Is prejudiced against the Ne braska girls, and If there are any In the Omaha market that would leave a com mercial town and come unto the Athens of the west they will be received with open arms by these two young men and will be given a royal reception by numer ous friends of the two men. Conklln has received one letter from St. Louis, and the young woman hss said she would In the next letter forwsrd her pho tograph, so probably his case Is settled. The fact that? the boys wanted to get mar ried was not known here until the letters were printed In Chicago and St. Louis. Conklln denied at first that he had any serious Intentions, but today he made ft. statement that he was after a wife and wanted her bad. Depot) Postmaster on Rock. L. I..
