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.

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

R. C. WELTY KILLS HIMSELF
Yonusj Man Cat Throat with Ilaaor
and la Fouinl Dead by
Landlady.
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,

North Thirty-eighth street, and the other
brother lives at 2il North Twenty-third
