Day watchman and Hay Nurse James Oallnway and Mr. Oallaway. Kns;ineer Jfphn Ruswll; day flremsn, William D. Klerstea1. County A arnt J. II Olaenman. Bujierlntendont County HuiUlina; Joseph McCaffrey; engineer, Lawrence Quaeley; Janitors, Tnm Toy, Frlti Bloomer, Tom Wheeler, Mike Clark. f'nuntv Auditor Robert Bmlth: deputy auditor, D. M. Haverly; assistants, J. S. Iiiupi. E. O. tyilomon. Amlatant County Physician Dr. William IHvlfr, South Omaha. This new slate makes several changes In that offered by Commissioner Brunlng. The nw resolution was offered aa an amendment to Brunlng's by Commis sioner McDonald and was adopted by the votes of Chairman Kennard, McDonald and Hofeldt. The latter Is the democratic mem ber and had not figured In any calculations heretofore made on the appointees. Evi dently Messrs. Kennard and McDonald took Hofeldt In order to beat the Brunlng slate. When the new resolution waa presented Brunlng asked that It take the same course as Vhe previous resolution making appoint ments. Chairman Kennard refused to en tertain this request, holding that the vote should be taken on the resolution as an amendment to Brunlng's resolution. This ruling was sustained by the vote of S to 2, and the new officers were thus confirmed. Two Who May Wot Accept. Emmet O. Solomon, now named as an as sistant county auditor, was slated for the position of auditor on the list laid over last Saturday. His friends consider It hardly likely that he will accept the subordinate place. There la no certainty that D. M. Haverly, named for deputy auditor, will assume the duties of the position. Commissioner Mc Donald said that he had not seen Mr. Hav erly for month or more. From other sources it Is learned that Mr. Haverly is supposed to have gone to Denver to take a good position about a month ago. It would seem that his appointment was brought about by friends on the board who did not know of Mr. Haverly's absence from the city, or who may have assurances that he will come back to take the Job. The positions of engineer and day fire man at the county poor farm were not in cluded In the two slates offered by Com- mlssloner Brunlng, and neither was that of engineer at the courthouse. J. II. Classman was on the original Brun lt?g slate for county agent. In, the new deal he replaces Samuel Hoff. Commissioner Trainor secured the ap pointment of Dr. Davis as assistant county physician by a separate resolution after . the adoption of McDonald's list. He and Brunlng also have a Janitor apiece to their credit. Hofeltd's was the deciding vote, but he seems to have got no appoint ment His satisfaction is understood to come from seeing certain men on the first slates left off the new one.
