Soma Omaha banks show a good gain In
deposits In comparison .'with a year ago,
but In th larger bank the deposits are
held down at present by the great do
iriand for money by" the country banks,
who are loaning afl the money they can
gt hold of. Deposrts In the country banks
are low at the present time for several
reasons. The principal reason Is that the
farmers are buying, all the feeder stork
they can load up on this, because of the
low price of (Train at present. This same
low price of grain is keeping the farmers
from marketing much of the products of
the farm, ui they prefere to keep it for
feed or elso hold It tor a prospective raise
In the market. As they are not selling, they
re not getting money returns for the
(rain, and Ill s Is keeping money from the
country banka which do business with

CIVIL SERVICE RULES MUST
' - ALSO APPLY TO WATCHMEN
Applicant for Vacamer Most Take
Uaanalnation Before Ut
, tlac the Job.
It mercantile house or otuar business
establishment wanted to hire a watchman,
but little attention would be given to the
education of applicants. Attention would
be foouased mainly on honesty and faith
fulness, and if these qualifications ap
peared to be met there would be little alee
. left for consideration. . .
Hut not so with Uncle Pant. Men who
aspire to serve Uncle Bam as watchmen
niust Undergo civil service examination Just
as though they were trying to break into
' the mall service or some other clerical po
sition. Civil service means civil service,
in the rulings of the government, and no
-tzceptlon Is made for Janitors, watchmen
or others In that line of service.
For example, there Is a watchman va
cancy now to be filled at the federal build
ing, by reason of the receut death of John
W. Nlohols, the veteran soldier who was
dice Abe Lincoln's bodyguard. Colonel
I'arrows, custodian of the building, has
temporarily appololed Samuel Bell to the
vacant place, but the tenure of Mr. Bell's
service will run only to December S, on
' which date there Is to be a civil service
examination for the purpose of permitting
applicants to compete under the rules for
; , the plaoe. Miss Viola Coffin, civil service
secretary, will oonduct the examination In
, room 111, federal building, and the best
man wins.,'
1 Colonel Barrows, custodian, wishes appli
cants to understand that he can do nothing
: In the way of making a permanent appoint
tuent until after the civil service examlna
, tlou has been held.

Assistant Street Commissioner Limps
as Result of Attentions by
Companions,
Tom Davis. ai, slant atreet , commis
sioner, goes limping around his office
these days and offer this explanation for
It when anybody auks him why: f
"Ild you ever hear of Huokenberry lake?
It's the lake of a thousand ducks this time
of year and few days ago nie and Harry
McDonald of Omaha. George Bishop of
Kansas City, Tunnlcllff. the attorney from
Bom ton, who used to live in Omaha, anil
Dr. Halley of Denver went up there to
hunt. That is, they went to hunt 1 went
along as chief commissary and master of
the ompeUiamenta,
"We camped by the lake and every morn
ing 1 routed them out of bed half an hour
before daylight and sent them up the
lake with no breakfast, except a cup of
coffee, and about 10:30 they usually came
back with a few ducks and appetites like
horses.
"But In spite of the fact that I was
acting under their Instructions, they hated
to have me rout 'em out so early In
the morning, and they kept getting sorer
and sorer about it every day, but nobody
dared say anything about It,
"One morning 1 fcot mem away In good
season and It did me good to hear them
curse the hour and the weather, When they
rolled out, although they were all having
the best time of their Uvea. When they
were gone out to discover a duck, I, being
a fresh air fiend, took off my clothes
and beat It down to the lake and took my
morning plunge. Its not particularly
warm in the lake at daylight these morn
ings, and I came running back as hard
as I could toward the tent and the fire.
"It happened that there were no ducks
flying that morning and they all came
hack early. They saw me beating It
without my clothes Into the tent flaps, and
one of them yelled out 'What's that?' and
another said, 'Take a shot at It,' and he
did.
"They heard mo yelp, but when they ar
rived at the tent not one of them asked
me what had been shot, and I didn't get
any sympathy. That's what cornea of con
sistently doing your duty as cook and
camp follower."
Haris Puts Wrong
Plaster on Wound
Literally Places Doctor's Prescription
on Sore Instead of Having
it Filled.
1
Hans Rasmussen ot East Omaha timidly
opened the door of ' Dr. William Wlndle
Davis' office on the sixth floor ot the City
National Bank' building and still more
timidly stammered 10 the young woman in
charge of the reception room that be -was
anxious to see a "mexliolne doctor."
"You are In the right place," answered
the office girl, "but Dr. Davis is busy Just
now. He will be ready to see you in a
few minutes, however."
Hans said he would wait, so he took a
chair In the reception room and thumbed
the pages of a current magazine.
At last the man from Kat Omaha was
admitted to the private office of the doctor,
and there be explained that while engaged
In cutting corn stalks last month, he had
accidentally struck his ankle with the
point of a corn knife, and as a result a
rather obstinate ulcer had formed. Per
haps Hans did not use the word "obsti
nate," but he said something that meant
the same anyhow, this dues not purport
to be a verbatim quotation.
'We can cure that up easily enough,"
said Dr. Davis, and at the tame time he
wheeled around In his revolving shair and
wrote an ointment prescription.
Bind this on the ulcer, let It remain twenty-four
hours, then wash the wound with
a solution of synol soap, and then make a
fresh application same as In the beginning.
Keep this up for four or five days and
believe the ulcer will be healed," said the
doctor by way of direction.
Hans took the bit of paper containing
hieroglyphics, such as doctors make for
druggists to read, paid the doctor his fee,
thanked him profusely and went his way.
Four days later Hans again entered the
office of Dr. Davis.
"See here," he said, and his tone was
neither suave nor t'mld as It was on his
first visit, "I have done what you told me
to do I have bound him tight on the ulcer
every twenty-four hours, then I take him
off and I wash him good with lye soap.
and then I bind him back once more, but
the ulcer gets worse instead of better.
Here's your plaaten I want my money
back."
And so saying, Hans deposited on the
doctor's desk a badly crumpled and stained
p. eve of paper, which on examination the
doctor discovered to be the prescription he
had written.
'What!" exclaimed Mr. Davis, "you
didn't put this paper on that ulcer, did
youT This Is a prescription I meant for
you to get filled at a drug itore. - It
calls for an o'ntment. and I wanted you to
put the ointment on your wound. Of
course this paper of Itself Is no good."
"But." persisted Hans, "you said for me
to bind him on my leg."
"Yes, but I thought you understood that
you were to bind the medicine on, and not
the piece of paper on which the prescrip
tion is written," explained the doctor.
"All right then," said Hans, "give him
back to me, "and I get him filled by the
drug store."

MACHINES ARE TO BE OPENED
Judge Troup Dissolves the Temporarj

Where Aay Candidate Can He
Harmed by (Setting; the
Kisrt Const,
Dissolution of the district court order
restraining the official election canvassing
board from opening the voting machines to
verify the returns ot the election Judges
and clerks In charge of them on election
day was. ordered by Judge A. C. Troup In
tho equity division ot district court Monday
at 11:45 a. m. In the same opinion Judge
Troup denied the application for an Injunc
tion restraining the board from opening the
machines. It was announced that the can
vassing board, which adjourned pending a
hearing on the injunction application am.
a ruling In the matter,' would resume its
canvass at 2 p. m.
Judge Troup's ruling was made nftei
practically the entire morning had been
spent In arguments by J. A. Illnc and A.
8. Churchill, attorneys for Charles O. Lo
beck, who asked the injunction, and John
P. Breen and B. G. Burbank, attorneys for
Judge A. L. Sutton, who on the ffico of the
election returns appears to have been de-
feated In the First district congressional
race by Mr, Lobeck.
Mr. Ixibeck went Into district court Sat
urday and asked for an lnlunotlon after
the canvanwing board, composed of County
ClerU D. M. Haverly, Francis J. Hopper
and Charles 11. Kubat, had declared that
they would grant the requests of Judge
Sutton and Frank J. Flxa, who on the faeu
of the returns Is defeated for county conw
mlfsloner by John Lynch, that the ma
chines be opened to verify the election
Judges' count. Judge W. O. Sears Issued a
restraining order and set Monday morning
as the time for hearing on the question
whether or not an Injunction should Ixsue.
In ruling Judge Troup said that he could
see no reason why the canvassing board
should not be permitted to open the ma
chines. He said the law clearly authorizes
such action and In all fairness and rea
sonableness such action should be per
mitted. Hi said the opening ot the ma
chines could In no way cause any change
of the figures on them, but simply would
permit the canvassing board to make cer
tain that the returns of the Judges who
copied the figures onto the poll books were
correct.
"Mistakes in the copying of the figures
may have been made, either purposely or
unintentionally," he said. "It is easy to
make such mistakes. An '8' might be mis
taken for a '3', or a V for a ''; the figures
in a number might be transposed by acci
dent. It seems to me that In fairness to
all concerned the board should be per
mitted to open the machines."
County May Save
' Thousands Yearly
" ' by Private Plant
Commissioners Consider Installing
Electric Power Plant and Clean-.
ing Appliance for Building.
The saving of several thousands of dol
lars a year for the county may be effected
by the Installation and operation of a
private electric power plant in the new
county building. In the opinion of the
county commissioners and John Latenser,
supervising architect of the building. Reso
lutions ordering advertisement for bids
for two electric generators will be adoplfU
by the Board of County Commissioners
when It meets Tuesday morning, according
to County Commissioner Plckard.
Bids on a clock system comprising a
master clock and a servant clock In every
office, and a vacuum cleaning system also
will be asked.
"The approximate cost of the electrlo
generators Is S6,O0O," said Commissioner
Plckard. "The clook system, we think,
would c-ost about S1.000 and the vacuum
cleaning system about $1,000.
"We have not actually decided to put In
these things, but we are going to get bids,
and If we can get satisfactory ones, they
will be accepted.
"When we were In Kansas City a few
weeks ago Inspecting elevators, so that
we could consider our elevator bids more
Intelligently, we also looked Into the elec
tricity business. In one big building there
a' private electrlo. power plant la main
tained, power being generated for lights
and elevators. .The power Is produced at a
cost of 1 cents per kilowatt In the sum.
mer time and In the winter, when the heat
ing plant Is running, the cost gets down
to I cents. We are paying six cents a
kilowatt now. I am pretty sure we oan
get a better rate than that for tbe new
building, for our elevators will be run by
electricity and we will use a lot more than
we are using now; but at that. I think
we could produce the power for less than
we could buy It. We couldn't get It down
to 1 cents, of course. In Kansas City they
burn crude oil; we would have to use coal,
which comes some higher and doesn't pro
duce as much heat."
Commissioner Plckard said ha believed
the vacuum cleaning system would mean
considerable saving for the county, as
by its use one man onuld do the work ot
several using ordinary brooms and brushes.

DAIRY CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Health Commissioner Says They Are
Being Bettered Under the
New Hegltne.
According to the health commissioner Im
provement In the dairies is go.ng on rap
idly and only a few weeks more is needed
to put them in good shape. The recent ag
itation and the new regime In Inspection
by Health Inspectors Daemon and Bonce
has stirred tbe dairy farmers up Into tak
ing some Interest in keeping their places
sanitary.
Qoodley F. Brucker, acting mayor, how
ever, thinks there Is still much room for
Improvement, but because of the rather
frivolous tone that was a marked charac
teristic of the last Inspection trip by the
council he discourages any more Inspection
of that kind.
"The dairies In East Omaha are still In
very bad condition," says Acting Mayor
Brucker, "and much Improvement will be
necessary before the work that was begun
In putting them right la finished. The
members of the council, however, will
probably take no more action In the mat
ter, but will let the health commissioner
finish the Job. The'. council's visits have
helper, but the dairy Inspectors ought to
be able to carry out Instructions until
everything Is accomplished."
