SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Jan. 3~O.--(Special
Telegram.)-It is believed that Charles Mel
son has been drowned in the Sioux river.
Nelson, who was an old man, was working
with a gang of men cutting ice. IT was his
duty to go to the river early and clear out
the passage used in floating the ice to the
shore. When the workingmen put in an
appearance this morning Nelson was not on
hand. Efforts since made to find him have
proved f~rultless and there seems little doubt
that while clearing out the passage he
slipped and went under the ice.

Gus Responses from ways and
Political Eccentricities.

For the purpose OF ascertaining the wishes
OF republicans Of the city in reference to the
selection OF a candidate for mayor The Bee
recently sent out over 1000 postal cards con
tanning a series of inquiries on that subject.
These cards we're sent to the republicans
resident in the Fourth, Sixth, Eighth and
Ninth wards. these being republican wards
and well calculated TO reflect the republican
sentiment Of the city. Cards were sent to
all republicans registered as such in the
wards named and each was supplied with a
return card for his reply. The efficacy o.
this system Of securing an expression from
republicans is explained by the contents OF
the cards. Upon the reverse side of the card
addressed to each republican was the fol-
lowing:
We desire to ascertain the preference OF
republicans among candidates for mayor in
the coming city campaign. Kindly favor
us by return mail with a response to the
questions on the attached return postal
card. AS no names are to be signed the
returns will not disclose your identity, but
when tabulated will furnish a fair index of
the sentiment of the registered republican
voters.
Upon the return card were printed the
questions submitted, as follows:
Who is your preferred candidate for
mayor?
2-Who is your second choice, if you have
any?
S-Would you vote for Frank f. Moores if
rCnominated?

THEY WANT ALL IN SIGHT
POpOcratic Majority of the County Board
Allows Bmploye Two Salaries.
DEPUTY SHERIFF IS ALSO ASSESSOR
Republican commissioners Raise oh
lection. but the Majority stands
Together In Favor of the Propo-
sition-Mecting of Hoard.

The feature OF the meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners yesterday was
the approval of the l 1000 bond of $. d
Letosky, who occupies a deputyship in the
Office of Sheriff Power. Letosky is also one
OF the assessors for South Omaha and since
his appointment as deputy sheriff he is
holding two county positions and his name
appears twice on the pay rolls.
When Letosky's bond as deputy sheriff
was presented for approval Commissioners
Ostrom and Harte made speeches in opposi-
ton. They expressed the belief that they
cannot legally accept Letosky's bond as
deputy sheriff while he is simultaneously
filling the office of assessor. Chairman
Hofeldt of the popocratic majority studied
a moment before he voted on the PROPOSE
ton, remarking that he was not quite Ger
tain as to the legality of such procedure.
But a brief and pointed speech from Com
missioner Hector evidently convinced the
chairman and he said: well. l am going
to vote in favor Of accepting the bond. -
The substance of Mr.. Hooters remarks
was that he believed the sheriff had the
right to appoint whomsoever he pleased to
a deputyship and that as there was no ques-
ton as to the quality of the bond he would
vote in favor of accepting it. The repub-
liCan members did not assail the bond. for
it is admittedly good, being signed by a
well known bond company, but they did
question the legality of carrying a county
employee on the pay roll in two places.
When a vote was taken it was cast strictly
along party lines and the pond was APP
proved. Letosky is bookkeeper in the
sherin's office.

The bill of 500 for legal services pre-
scented to the board by Frank
Ransom at the last meeting was not
brought up. 1t is pigeonholed with the

of this committee Monday, at which the
bill was discussed. The two popocratic
members of the finance committee, Connolly
and Hector, indicated that they are favor
able to payment of the Ransom claim. Com
missioner Ostrom, the republican member,
is opposed. Ransom wants pay for his
services in prosecuting a mandamus action

brought by Ed j. Dee, the present court
house engineer, who was appointed by the
commissioners to a deputyship in Mr.. Hav-
erly's office, but who was ousted by de-

Mr.. Haverly paid his lawyers out of his

ably be brought up for discussion at the
