Eight plums have fallen to Omahans In the last shaking of the political tree by Governor-elect A. C. Shallenberger, though a seventh appointment Is virtually that of an Omaha man William M. Maupin for deputy labor commissioner, Mr. Maupin having lived In Omaha a number of years. The plums given out this last time to Omaha people Include deputy oil Inspector for the Second district, state veterinarian, chief game warden and five colonels on the governor's staff. Thomas J. O'Connor has been appointed deputy oil inspector, and In this appoint ment the little lights of Frank Planck, Kd J. Daemon, Oust Peterson und several others have gone out entirely, while Joseph P. Butler's light was doused. Planck, Pet erson, Daemon et al were after the ap pointment which was given to O'Connor, while Butler wanted the chief position. But In the appointment cf an Omaha man for the second position the oil Inspectorship went to Mullen of O'Neill. O'Connor a Yoing Iloaa. Tom O'Connor, while yet In his twenties, is one of the big chiefs in he Jimocral club. He was secretary of that organlia tion for a year and Is now vice president. Together with Colonel Fanning, 8am Roth well and others, he attended the meeting of the Jim club last September when Con gressman Hitchcock was so severely cen sured for supporting Mr. Shallenherger and discounting Mayor Jim. Despite this direct lap at the new governor, he has managed to pull down the plum In opposition to many others older In the party. The appointment of Mr. -O'Connor for deputy oil Inspector was forecasted In these columns a couple of weeks ago, at which time It was stated than Don Oeilus of OmaliV would probably be appointed chief game warden. This has also come true and Mr. Gellus will bo. the next game warden for Nebraska. For state veterinarian, Dr. Paul Juckness of South Omaha has been appointed. On the governor's staff five more Omaha men have been appointed: Sophus Neble, member of the Park, board; Thomas Byrne, E. W. Bennett, P. C. Marshall and S. P. Benjamin. Charles E. Fanning and A. D. Fetterman were appointed on his staff a oouple of weeks ago. Weeping: and Itejoiclnir. While the appointment of Tom O'Con nor as deputy oil Inspector will cause an excessive amount of bemoaning In Omaha on account of there being so many other candidates for the Job, all of whom have their friends, the appointment of Mr. Maupin as deputy labor commissioner will also cause some weeping, though this will be tempered with rejoicing on the part of some. Those who will weep over this ap pointment are Jeremiah Howard and his followers who attended a meeting In South Omaha to endorse P. J. Barrett for the place. On the other hand, the Omaha Typographical union endorsed Mr. Maupin for the place and the members of this or ganization will rejoice In his appointment. Mr. Maupin Is at present the editor of the Wage Worker, a Lincoln publication, and In addition does editorial work on the Commoner. He lived In Omaha some years, during which time he was connected with the World-Herald. building.

Hope Dunbar Marauardt. a lft-yeir-old girl, who ran away from her mother Mrs. F. J. Dnnbar, owner of the Victoria restaurant at Thirteenth and Dodge streets, whilo Mrs. Dunbar was In Kansts City on September 13. Is causing the pollco of Omaha and South Omaha no end of trouble. It Is believed she has deserted her mother and her husband, Roy Marquardt, a cook at the Victoria restaurant, and has been living with a Japanese waiter named Yoshlma Fichl since she disappeared. Sunday morning a cheap Japanese room ing house at Ninth and Ieavenwrth streets, was raided by a squad of police men who had been told by Bob Davis, a restaurant messenger boy who delivered S meal to the child-wife, that she was liv ing thero In squalid surroundings and among a gang of orientals. Mrs. Dunbar accompanied the raiding party In hopes of finding and Identifying her daughter. The girl was not found and the officers were told that she had moved to South Omaha with her consort. A reward has been offered for the find ing of the girl, but so far'nothlng definite has been heard from her or about her. Fol lowing the report that she had gone to South Omaha with the Japanese waiter, the South Omaha police were taken InU the matter and started a chain of Investi gation In that city, but only with the re sult of learning that the couple had left South Omaha Saturday evening for Lin coln. Lincoln Is the city to which the young Mrs. Marquardt went from Kansas City after running away from her mother at the latter place. The Omaha police say there Is not much to the case, believing that the girl has Just become tired of her husband and has found another man to live with. Fuchl has worked In many of the Japanese res taurants In this part of the country. He met Mrs. Marquardt one day, not long be fore they disappeared, at the Nagasaki restaurant on North Sixteenth street. JUDGE SULLIVAN RESIGNS Serves One Day and Throws l' Position on the Supreme Ilench. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 2. (Special Telegram. ) Judge J. J. Sullivan, after being sworn In a member of the supreme bench of the state and serving one day, today resigned the place. "Personal reasons," ho said actuated him In the decision. Further than this the Judge declined to talk about his resignation. Jjdge Sullivan was appointed by Gov ernor Sheldon as one of the four members of the court recently named and was given the short term of one year. Whether he decided he could not afford to throw up his practice for one year on the bench or whether the demootats have decided to make an attack upon the legality of the appointment of the four new members and the democratic appointee was making his record clear In this even: is not known. It Is learned from local sources that Judge Sullivan has decided to move to Omaha and take up the practice of law here. He had made arrangements, It Is understood, to come to the metropolis In case be (fid not accept the appointment on the supreme bench and now that he has resigned after accepting the appointment It is given out that he will carry out his original plan. Friends of the Judge be lieved he would go on the bench, as he ap peared to be anxious for the appointment, and they were surprised on learning he had resigned.

MAYOR OF MEXICO SENDS EXKIBIi Porflrlo Dlaa, Jr., Writes to Man ager Jonea that Mis Cargo Is on the Hoad In t'ar ot Senor Coroape. With 600 men at work In the Auditorium, with half a dozen cars of exhibits arrived or to arrive in a few hours with scores of private exhibitors coming into action, with Judges and officials pouring In by the -score, the buildings and offices of the Na- tlonal Corn exposition are a tolerably busy place, these days. Gigantic as Is the amount of work to be done, the outlook la good that the exposi tion will open Seven daya hence with all of the exhIUlts In place with the work of Judging done and In fact all the preliminary details completed. A thorough organiza tion alone haa made this possible, an or ganization built up entirely from the ground in Omaha and which will be avail able next year without any work at all. There Is a general sentiment that Omaha should retain the National Com exposition permanently and every delegate, and ex hibitor on the ground will admit this except the Indlanans. These, however, say that Omaha should be the scene of the corn exposition for some years at least. After that well there Is a little village In the Hoosler state that would like to tako hold of It. I B. Clore. Harvey Grey and J. It. Over- street of that delegation all Indignantly denied Wednesday that they are either novelists or poets, but admitted that they dabble In politics occasionally.

He wishes to notify the chief Judge of the exposition In re gard to the character of the articles which he Is sending and which you have been good enough to send him an Invitation to exhibit.

George McKltrlck's complete recovery, both mentally and physically, from the severe Injury and resulting unconscious ness sustained during a foot ball game some time ago at Gulesburg, 111., Is now confidently predicted by his doctors. A letter received In Omaha from Mrs. McKItrlck, mother of the young man, says that he Is slowly regaining consciousness after having been In an unconscious state for weeks. Monday he spoke three words, referring- to hla condition and the place where he was, as a "Hard old place." He has also given other assurances that within a week he will probably have become totally conscious and much Improved. The only fear of the doctors for him now Is that he may be slightly paralyzed after recovering In other respects. However, this Is held merely as a possibility und Is thought to bo Improbable. As soon as he is able to be moved consid erably, he will be brought home to Omaha by his mother. The announcement of his Improved condition and the statement by tho physicians that his mind will probibly not suffer from the effects of the Injury, Is causing great pleasure among his local friends and acquaintances. He was formerly student at the high school and later at Crelghton university. INDICTED FOR SELLING DOPE Edward W. Baxton, Drnnjgrlat, Is (barared by Urnnd Jury with Trnfllo In Cocaine.
