A-1625 SchmollcrS Mueller Piano Co. 1311-13 Farn&m Street : y Board of County Commissioners, not even with the O. K. of Charles C. George, as foreman of the grand Jury Inscribed upon it, and the board has temporarily declined to donate this amount to "Our Elmer," as Tralnor culled him. Appointment of officials to look after the county hospital and poor farm, the county store, the court house, and other affairs was not taken up by the board in the meeting Friday, the first session of the new board since its organization Tuesday. Many applications for the positions are on file, but members of the board say they will go slow In making appointments, and that it may be some time before any action is taken. Moat of the morning session was taken up In the committee, where some claims were allowed and some laid on the table. Among the latter was the claim of Elmer E. Thomas for $15 for securing evidence at Millard against saloon keepers. Marked across the claim was the O. K. of Charles C. Ueorge, foreman of the last grand Jury. The authority of the grand Jury to employ others than officers of the county or the court to procure evidence was questioned by the commissioners, and the Thomas claim was laid ou the tabie pending advice from the county attorney aa to its dtsposj. tlon. "I don't believe that Mr. George, even though he was foreman of the graad Jury, has the power to instruct us to pay our Elmer's bills, ' said Commissioner Tralnor and the others seemed to concur in his opinion. The board decided to establish a branch county store In South Omaha and place one of the employe there In charge. Commis sioner Tralnor, chairman of the charity committee showed that over one-third of the calls for aid come from the Ma tie City and that is was a hardship for the poor people to come to Omaha to get aid when oftentimes they had not the necessary car fare. At the afternoon session of the board, Louis A. fltenderdi was given the contract for tearing down the old county Jail on his bid of 1226 for the privilege of doing the work, and Pax ton Vlerllng were awarded the contract for moving the cells from the old jail to the addition to the city Jail, which is nw being constructed JIMS COVET ROWDEN'S PIE Hungry Democrats and Cold Long for "Dave" to Go. WHY HOLD TWO JOBS? THEY ASK saBBSBSBwaa City Hall la Cold Besides and Offi cials, Though Fearing; His Wrath, Want Caatodlaa to Get Out. Pave Rowden's persistence In holding onto his present position aa custodian of the city hall after his appointment aa com mandant of the Solders' home at Milford has brought him Into deeper contempt with the Jims, who control the local democracy, and they are bringing pressure upon the mayor to aak the custodian for his resig nation and the appointment another demo ocrat to the place. The demand of the Jims is also backed by other democrats who are Itching; for Rowden's place, the demand being based on the ground that Rowden, through Ills ac tion, is maintaining a republican in office at Milford and keeping another democrat out of a Job In Omaha. "Don't uae my name, for If you do Dave will cut off what heat I have In my office," said one of th democrats In the oity hall, "but all the same it is a downright shame that tiie custodian should hold onto this Job with a bulldoej grip when he could go to Milford and let some other democrat have a position here. We haven't enough Jobs to go around as it Is, but here is one wa are entitled to and Rowden keeps us out of 1U Cltr Hall U Cold. "13 ut this is not the only reason. If Row den woukt only get out he would still have an office and we could place another demo crat, but we would get a man who wouW not freese us all the time and make us go home ftt nlg-ht with dirty hands iim ha will not furnish soap and clean towoia, Tho next custodian will give us heat and soap, I can tell you." To his friends th custodian gives the information that he iateod ts hold on to nis jod until warmer weather. To others ho says it is "nobody's business" when he will leave. Mayor Dahlman will not aak Mr. Rowden for his resignation, but says he believes tho custodian will leave for Milford as soon aa the present commandant of the Soldiers' home apprises him that it is convenient for all concerned that the change in officers be made. The temperature in the city hall is warmer than that out of doors, even though some of the officials deny the fact, but with all the heat which the custodian crowds into the radiators the muojrity of the clerks work with their overcoats on.

For sal fey Beaton Drug Co, LAND VALUE OVER DOUBLE Farm Sells for $100 an Acre that Was Offered for $45 in 1898. NEW HOME FOE MRS. MARY REED A. I. Reed Bays Corner at Thirty- sixth and Dewey (or Ills Mother, Who Will Build Brick. House. Ten years ago George E. Stlfel of Wheel ing, W. Va., offered to sell, and all but did sell, a 160-acre farm near Klkhorn for Mo an acre. Friday John Kunnemann bought it of Stifel for 116,000, or at UuO an acre. The $45 price was unusually high for 1894, for land was not selling advan tageously tl.en, the period of crop failures being not far In tho past Thus what la nearly a 6i per cent increase In value is registered through the sale for strictly farm property, the location of the farm making it unlikely that it will ever be available lor other than agricultural purposes. ' The farm adjoins on the south the W,0i0 acre farm of Colonel Pratt and is one of the six farms, each 180 acres, which the father of George Stlfel owned in Dodge county and which he gave at his death, one each to his six sons. The Byron Reed company, which nearly sold the property ten years ago, acted for Stifel In th trans action of Friday. A. Ij. Reed made another deal Friday, buying- the southeast corner of Thirty sixth and Dewey avenue for his mother, Mrs. Mary M. Reed. The property was sold by C. a. Montgomery for the Milton Trust company, which la his family Invest ment corporation. The purchase is 64 feet by 132 snd was at 75 the front foot, or M.80S. Mrs. Reed wih build a two-stery brick dwelling for herself on the property and work will be begun In a short time. She Is at present occupying a residence at Thirty-fourth and Harney.

With his throat ut with a rnior and his body otherwise mutilated, Rnpcoe C. Welty, a young machinist, was found drnd In his room Friday morning. The wounds were apparently self-inflicted and melancholia and despondency are believed to be re sponsible for the tragedy. Welty was 26 years old and unmarried. He lived at 608 North Eighteenth street, at a rooming house conducted by Mrs. Anna Hotchkiss. The body waj discovered by the landlady Friday morning when she went to the room to find out why younjj Welty did not get up, and the Indications were that he had been d-fad sometime. It Is thought ho was seuwd with a spell of despondency during the night and com mitted suicide. For sometime the young man had worked as a machinist and helper In the shops of the strott car company. Ilia father, who. was a minister, Is dead, but his toother. Mrs. Mary M. Welty, and two brothers, Ueortro H., chief clerk at the Burlington headquarters, and Frank S. Welty, - pur chasing agent of the street car company, live In Omaha. Tho mother is at present wtaylng at the home of the former, 365 North Thirty-eighth street, and the other brother lives at 2il North Twenty-third street.
