In reply 1 beg to thank you for your Interest in keeping these grounds In good shape for It augurs that In time you will be able to notice the dirty condition In front of the auditorium, whlrh 1 under stand is under your charge, and that you will prevent the collection of disease breed ing filth in that very prominent part of the city. It is true that there has been a pile of brush or perhaps 'more on these ground, at various times, Inasmuch as we have to pile this rubbish until we are able to collect a wagon load to haul off. We Janitors work about sixteen to eigh teen hours a day tnd if you would have the city of Lincoln construct electric lights at the corners of the grounds as promised I we would be able to work loncer hours and thus keep the grounds cleaner. And If you would wee to it that the people of Lincoln refrain from throwing their whis key and beer bottles on the capitol grounds it would save us much time, as we usually have to devote a good portion of the morning to collecting these bottles. In conclusion 1 simply desire to say, that if you will attend to the business for which you were employed, and In addition call the attention of the city authorities to the conditions prevalent in the business part of town and the streets, you will have less time to complain of the work of an old soldier, who with his assistant have the best kept public lawn in the city.

Smirched Official Resigns His Post ' ' 1 ' . i ft George Poell, ClerVof Hall County, Steps Down aid "Out Following Investigation. " GRAND ISLAND. Neb., May 5. (Special Telegram.) Late this afternoon George Poell, county clerk, tianded in hi resigna tion. Mr. Poell was declared Tuesday to have raised certain receipt of employees in hia office and thus to have retained fees unrightfully. The day after the in vestigation beran Poell turned over JTiOO of excess fee that had been retained by him for saveral years. The reeignation came as the result of a conference with Supervisor Sievera, F. W. Ashton, Poell'a . attorney and W. H. Thompson. The majority members of the board who are democrats. Indicated plainly that had the resignation not been offered it wouli have been Insisted upon. Poell is also a democrat. Richard Buenr, who wa a candidate for the democratic nomination at the last primary, wa chosen by the majority member aa the uccessor. H will take charge of the office as soon as he nun j qualify. In his resignation Mr. Poell ciaim he ha turned In every dollar right fully belonging to the county and asks for the Investigation of the rest of his term of offloe. It is Bald In Poell' behalf that he raised the receipt to cover up the shortcomings of some one else In his office, though thi is generally discredited. As evidence that there was nothing poli tical in the ordering of investigation, it is clte-d that this was done on the motion of a republican member. The members of the minority acquiesced in the appoirt ment of the democratic successor.
