Mr. Charlton stood for all that is best In
good citlxenship. He was a leader In build
ing up the solid Interests of Omaha. He
was an advocate of the best education of
children, sending bis own sons and daughter
to good colleges. He was an active sup
porter of the fchurch being a member of
tha session of the Central United Presby

philanthropic mind and of wide but incon
spicuous charitable activities. Moreover,
he was a man of cheerful and lovable per
sonality, having a kind word for every

uous among bi sines men. His speeches at
the Commercial club anf at other gather
ings were classics of their kind and his wit
was quick and brilliant.

excellent tenor voles, he had taken an
active part In the organisation of leader
ship of some of the best choirs and
choruses in the city and for years was
looked to in matters of this kind; when
public functions or private called for good
singing he was appealed to and not In vain,
for his love for music was no less than his
talent.

the aged man was laid at rest lr the old

Plumbing Inspector McVea and Health
Commissioner Connell will cost about $2,28),
according to bids submitted to the board.
Johnaon-Rowe-Day company submitted the
lowest bid for the changes In the plumb:nj
at -$1,266 and William Nace was low on
the alteration work, his figure being $1,0.4.
The board did not act on the bids. Thn
court house and Jail committee was au
thorised to make the necessary repairs to
the old district clerk's office to convert It
Into a. room for the stenographic force
and to convert the present stenographers'
room Into a Jury room for the criminal
court.
The county board did not votf on the
submission of bunds for a new court house
at the meeting Saturday and Instead re
ferred the submission resolution back to
the county attorney for changes and will
take It up again at a general meeting Mon
day afternoon.
The hitch came In the method of paying
off the bonds. The resolution submitted
by County Attorney English provided for a
sinking fund. But the members of the
board without exception were opposed to
this method. Instead they favor paying off
the indebtedness as fast as money can be
raised to do It for the reason not more
than 1 per cent can be realised on uw
money in the sinking fund while the bonds
will bear 4 per cent Interest. They decided
It would be economical to pay off the bunds
as rapidly as the money accumulates In
stead of holding It in fund.
The board was practlcaly agreed that one
twentieth of the .bond should be paid in ten
years from the date of Issue and a similar
amount each year thereafter. This plan
will retire half of the bands In twenty years
from the date of Issue Sad will leave the
other half to be taken card of during the
Interval oet ween twenty ana thirty years
from their date. As the court-house Is ex
pected to accommodate the buainea of the
county for from forty .to fifty yrSs the
members of the board believe .it la no more
than right that half of the bonds ft least
slould be paid after twenty yesrs.
Other Bonde That Fall Dae.
The county has $30ti.(at . wort h of bonds
faning 1ue In 1PU and 1913 and the majority
of thm commlssionera are of the opinion no
more should be paid until the ten-year per
id Is up.
Ure proposed the first payments on the
court house bunds bo made in five years,
but the majority favored the ten-year plan.
With the changes'tn the resolution all the
members of the board expressed themselves
as favoring the submission of the question
In May.
Because the county treasurer refused to
transfer $10,000 from the general Into the
road fund last December the board passed
a new resolution Saturday accomplishing
the same result with a different method.
The resolution was Introduced by Ure and
U-juvMiea the county clerk shall draw
a warrant on the general fund and In favor
of the road fund for $10,000. There Is now
leas than $1,000 la the road uod and the
board wants to do some more work before
the new levy is available.

FLYNN APPEALS TO CHIEF
Commissioner Asks Police to Eaforee
Ordinance Aaalnst I.lttrrlns;
the Thoroaah fares.
Tired of working his street sweeping
crew all night sweeping snd flushing the
streets, only to have them littered the
following morning with sweepings from
the sidewalks. Street Commissioner Flynn
has called the police department's attention
to the ordinance prohibiting tbe sweeping
of any straw, filth or rubbish of any de
scription into the gutters or streets. Chief
Donahue In turn has notified his police
captains and Instructed them to .order the j
patrolmen to arrest anyone In the future J
who violates the ordinance. j
1 .
"My department worked all of Filday
night flushing Varnam, Douglas and the
cross streets in the business eectlon, the
scattered ashes from fire engine ex
hibited by the city hall Friday afternoon
necessitating the work." said Street Com
missioner Flynn. "'We got" everything
clean, but when the big stores, and some
of the little ones, opened for business in
I the-' morning and dumped their sweeping
Into the street, no one would Imagine that
the streets had ever been swept. I get
kirks wnd cusses enough, not to be blamed
when we do our work as well as it Is pos
sible.". Chief Donahue says the large department
atores are more at fault than the smaller
retail establishments, but that his Instruc
tions to the police are to show no favorit
ism, but to arrest any and all 'violators.
Another provision of the saiie ordinance
prohibits the sweeping of sidewalks be
tween the hours of o'clock In the morn
ing and 10 o'clock at night, a fine of $10
being imposed for violation. A fine of $1")
Is the penalty for sweeping rubbish into
the streets or guttera
KIERLE DEFEATS SIMPSON
Bans Oae Vote Ahead for Rraablleaa
Komlaatloa for Mayor of
Floreaee.
C. J. Klerle of Florence won out by one
vote from John Bunpson In the republican
primaries held there Friday. Klerle re
ceived U votes to tl for Simpson. M. B.
Thompson, candidate for city clerk,4iad
no opposition and received KB votes. For
treasurer John PrlcV received 81 vote and
T. P. Hasklna 74. Harold Reynolds had no
opposition for engineer and received 1S3
votes. For councilman of the South ward
W. R. Wall had 79 votes and for council
man of the North ward Jacob Weber, Jr.,
bad 78 votes. The councilman from tbe
First and 8ocnd wards hold ove
"Luther Drake will go on my bond."
Thus spoke James J. Fee in police court
Saturday morning, after Deputy County
Attorney . Ptattl had read him an Indict
ment charging him with blackmail, after
Fee had waived preliminary examination
and after Judge Crawford bad bound him
over to the district court under a bond of
$2,500.
Fee Is the man who walked into the
private office -of Luther Drake, president
of the Merchants' National bank, last
Tuesday morning and exhibited a bottle
containing a fluid, said it was nitroglycerin
and that he would blow up the bank unless
$5,000 was immediately handed over to him.
Mr. Drake kept his head and persuaded the
man to go out to breakfast with htm.
While he waa eating officers secured
possession of the bottle, which, later, was
found to contain nothing worse than dirty
water.
Fee is a slender man of middle- age and
of nervous movement, with a gray mous
tache and e puree gray hair. He leaned
close to the prosecutor to hear the read
ing of the complaint. He smiled broadly
during the recital of that part of the com
plaint which told of "threats then and
there verbally made by the said James J.
Fee that unless the said Luther Drake
would then and there give over to the
said James J. Fee the num of $5,000. the
said James J. Fee would then and there
with a certain bottle containing fluid highly
dangerous and explosive blow up and de
stroy the large seven-story banklSg build
ing, etc."
When It was over he seemed uncertain
whether to waive preliminary hearing or
not until assured that he need not stey
in Jail If he could get someone to go on
his bond, which was fixed at $2,500. Then
he confidently made the statement that
Luther Drake would go on the bond. "
Mr. Drake Is out of the city, but even
when he returns It Is very doubtful that
the expectation of Fee will be realised.
Bradley took a Benson car at Albright
and transferred to the Harney line. He
asked the conductor for a transfer back
to the Benson line and the latter refused.
Bradley testified the conductor handed
him bafk his transfer and threw him off.
Thev conductor's version was that Bradley
had demanded the r iurn of. his .transfer
after the conductor k a refused to re
transfer him and had u.en refuaed to give
up either the transfer or pay his fare.
