Many.Court House Denizens Now Fear They'll Lose Jobs About thirty employes in the Doug las county court house holding minor jobs were yesterday in the same frame mind as were the participants in the French revolution on the eve of some out-of-the-ordinary guillotine spree of the authorities. Not that any of them have done anything wrong, but be cause their friends the ones who got them their jobs do not have the same political party affiliations as the pres ent majority of the county commis sioners. These thirty some employes, the bulk of them janitors and scrubwo mta', are scheduled to have their offi cial heads removed today when the democrats start to wield the axe. Gossip says that not a head will be spared. The wise ones aver that if any are spared it will not be more than one or two. There are seven janitors, fourteen scrubwomen, three elevator men, two telephone girls, three firemen and two engineers whose jobs are ii. jeopardy. The scrubwomen one of them has a wooden leg and several children and most all have families to support admit they don't know much about politics. "But," quoth one, "I ain't done nothin' to get fired for and I always work just as hard in scrubbing out democrats' offices as repub licans.' " One of the janitors, hearing the rumor that the board was contem plating leading the minor employes to the beheading chamber, mingled a little philosophy with his hard-luck wail. "If they call these kind of jobs political pie, then I should think peo ple would demand a change in pastry diet." Association Players Will Not Strike, Says Hickey Chicago, III., Jan. 25.

BELIEVES HE GETS THIHGSJY PRAYER Eev. C. W. Savidge Uses It to Secure Some of the Ordi . nary Things of Life. CITES SEVERAL EXAMPLES By A. R. GEOH. Prayer, to many people, is a sort of formality. Many others use it only to plead for the .oftier or more aesthetic things of life. Rev. Charle W. Savidge prays lor the every-day things of life. By prayer he found a cow of bis which had strayed away. By p'ayer he se cured a buggy that he needed in his work. By prayer he received tens of thousands of dollars 'or his House of Hope. His prayers have had astonishing results. "Have Faith in God" is his motto. He has :. blazoned in a big sign or. his residence. "Once 1 needed a buggy," said Mr. Savidge. "1 hat the hor.se and har ness, but a buggy was absolutely necessarv for my work. 1 resolved to pray for it. 1 opened my Bible. Mark xi:-4 was in front of me, 'What things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe ye receive them and ye shall have them.' 1 prayed till uoon. Then from 1 U 3 o'clock. Sometimes 1 would rise, and go to the w'ndow to see if my . uggy was coming. Getc His Buggy. "At 3 o'clock a young eUow called and made an engagement for me to marry him at 8 o'clock. 1 continued to pray until almost that time. At the close of the ceremony he handed me an envelope coutainiuB $50, ihe largest marriage fee 1 ever received. There was m buggy." Another time Mr. Savidge was in dire need ot $16 to pay the ground rem where the church stands. He prayed all day. i-ariy in the evening a woman dressed in brown called at his house. "1 have never seen you before, but 1 am impelled by some feeling that i can't explain to bring you some money for your work," she said. She handed him three $5 bills. She was going away wbeu she opened her purse i-rd drew out a silver dol lar. She turned this over once or twice and then put it back in her purse. "1 couldn't understand why she had gone away with 'my silver dollar," said Mr. Savidge. "I went out in the kitchen end asked my wife whether any money had come in. She told md she had just sold a dollar's worth of milk tickets. There was my $16!" Another time a valuable cow of Mr. Savidge's strayed away. The family depended largely on her milk for a living. For ten days and nights a fruitless search was prosecuted. Then Mr. Savidge began to pray. He prayed all day. "Suddenly I knew that I had her," he said. "I put on my overshoes and overcoat and started on a bee line toward the northwest. When I had run a mile I saw very clearly that I was in God's hands. I stopped, raised my hands to heaven and praised God from my heart .that I had come into such intimate touch with Him. After running another mile I stopped at a whitewashed cottage. A woman came to the door. She said she had not seen a stray cow. I said, 'Madam, why do you speak to me so? You know you did.' She said, 'Was she a white and brown Jersey?' I said, 'Yes.' The cow was in the barn and I led her home. "I believe God gave me that answer, knowing I needed to understand that He would reach out His hand in su pernatural work the same as when Jesus was here. When He sees fit He can transform us into a spiritual state and we can see and hear things such as Paul did." Mr. Savidge tells with enthusiasm of the life of George Muller of Bris. tol, England, who received and spent $7,500,000 in charitable works and never asked any man for a penny. Dispute Over Street Car Transfer Leads to Suit ' A dispute between a passenger on a street car and a conductor as to whether a certain transfer was punched at 7 o'clock in the morning or for 6 o'clock in the evening, was the cause of a $2,500 damage suit which has. just been filed in district court. Oscar F. Linder, a painter, says that he boarded a Cuming street car on the morning of November 9, 1916. He alleges that the conductor refused a transfer tendered by him and finally, after words were exchanged, as saulted him. Linder wants the conrt to award him damages from the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Rail way company. "Kie-Yie-Yie! Get Me 'Gets-It' Quick" 2 Drops Make Corn "Fall" Off!

J, J, Neal Says Wife Hit Him With Fist Broom and Dishes Life in the first-line trenches at Verdun was mild compared to his forty-three years of married life, ac cording to John I. Neal, who is suing his wife, Mrs. Charlotte A. Neal, for divorce in 'district court Married at Lyons, N. Y., in 1874, the freedom-yearning husband alleges that the big row started shortly after wards. Mrs. Neal is no mean ex ponent of what is known as the manly art, the husband complains, averring that she has repeatedly struck him with her fists during their married life. Applying the broom to him, using hira as a target for china dishes hurled in a far from playful spirit and making unexpected attacks with a dish cloth while he was reclining on a couch were favorite diversions of his mate, Neal asserts in his petition. While his wife did not attack him with chairs and legs wrenched from the piano, Neal does allege that she threatened to throw the furniture at him. Threats to kill him, refusal to cook his meals and harsh words ap plied to him are other allegations. Neal asserts that the climax was reached when, he alleges, she drove him from the house on September 28, 191L Banker Says Woman Had No Money in the "Dutch Mill" Alleging a "conspiracy" to get pos session of the Dutch Mill cafe, 1618 Harney street, while she was ill, Edna Barnhill is suing Ralph M. Waddell and Lee M. Swindler, cashier of the American State bank, for $5,000 dam ages. According to Miss Barnhill, she bought the restaurant from L, Z. Phil lips last October. She alleges that she was taken ill on December 1, 1916, and while she was confined at her home Waddell "conspired" with the banker and took possession of the property. She further asserts that when she recovered on December 12, Waddell forcibly ejected her from the restau rant and continued to hold possession until January 15 of this year, when, she alleges, Waddell and Swindler converted the business to their own use. Mr. Swindler declares that Miss Barnhill never had a dollar invested in the business and that Waddell is the owner of the business, which he purchased, according to the banker, with money loaned by him.
