COUNTY COURT TO DECIDE
AIdermRnic Tie Mt south Omaha to
BE Recounted by Judge
NinsonhaIer

John McIntire and p. ]. O'Connor have
found a way to expedite their final contest
for place on the city council OF South
Omaha as member from the Fourth ward.
They signed and filed this morning a stipu-
lation by which they are bound to submit
the ballots cast at the election OF April l.,
TO County Judge Vinsonhaler, who will re-
canvass them. beginning at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning, and declare the result.
Both parties consent to the jurisdiction Of
the court and each valves summons and
process and further proceedings.
The stipulation" is somewhat unique
among those filed In the court archives. II
is drawn up on the letterheads OF Frank
z. Jones. sanitary and milk Inspector, -
bears no names other than those Of the
contestants and begins with this:
Whereas, As a controversy has arisen as
20 who Is elected as councilman TO the
Fourth ward of the city OF South Omaha
at the election held therein on the first
j. Il Is agreed that the matter shall
be submitted TO the county court, as in
a contest.
Then follow hve other paragraphs requir-
ing that the stipulation be the pleadings In
the case. that there be an immediate hear
Ing, that the court order the ballots pro-
duced in open court and count them there,
that the Judge shall determine the result
and pronounce judgment as to who is
elected" and that the city clerk shall issue
q certificate of election as soon as the Judge
pronounces judgment and the party TO
whom the certificate is issued shall take his
seat, but the other party shall nave the
right to appeal"
Judge Vinsonhaler, remembering his
weeks Of weary work with the recount in
the Unitt-MIller contest, smiled rather
feebly when the attorneys for the two as
pirants brought the matter before him this
morning, but agreed to begin the hearing
ct 10 O'Clock Wednesday morning. This
proceeding is pursuant to the advice OF
Judge Keysor, given Monday. when the

Of Douglas county will nave opportunity
this week to enter into direct negotiations
with the county commissioners for what
ever rights or favors they may want. as
the board started yesterday morning on Its
annual cross-country junket.
After visiting the poor farm, inspecting
the plumbing and sampling the cooks Gre
atlons, they will spend the rest Of the day
In McArdle and Willard precincts. Tomor-
row Chicago and Waterloo will be gone

Nearer precincts will be visited at inter-

The commissioners were to mees at the
poor farm and when the ~stragglers left
the court house this morning for the
roundup they were wondering what would
be the arrangement of the member when
the board is complete and starts on its
trip. The FIVE commissioner are to ride
In two carriages, but which three are to be

port from the poor farm his afternoon
was that o'Keefe had taken a stand at one
carriage and Connolly at another. and that
they we're reckoning the other members like
rival cabmen.
Collection of Back Taxes.
AS the board has no meeting until April
30, the members got together in committee
OF the whole Monday night and considered
some minor business. They practically
agreed that to accomplish the collection of
back realty tax they will not use collectors.
but will put one man into the field to serve
1otices on the dellnquents, and then, IL the
response is not prompt, the board is to COM
mence suit. II will call in the county at
torney next Saturday to talk over the mat
ter more fully.
The Houston herd OF 200 goats was an
other subject given attention at the COM
mlttee meeting. Houston wishes to turn
them onto a strip OF wooded pasture at the
poor farm and, although willing TO pay q
small rent. he argues that their presence
there would be desirable, as they would
crop of the underbrush that is getting
quite a start. One commissioner mentioned
the danger OF the goats killing the trees
another suggested that tin cans be split and
nailed about the young trunks, but Con-
molly said that the goats would simply eat
those for desert. 1t was finally decided
that the goats may be turned in, but that
the board members will keep tab on the
trees and send Clerk McComb out to sit UP
with them nights.

NOVEL STORY OF ALEXANDER HAMILTON

Books just Out.

Mr.. J. F.. Willard. more familiar to the
public under his '%tramping name" Of Josiah
Flint, is the author Of a new book entitled
The Little Brother" In this book Josiah
Flint utilities his keen knowledge OF tramp
life to write his first story. Its hero, the
little brother" runs away from home and
is adopted by a hobo, who makes him his
"Prushun," !. e., the one to do his begging
for him. They ride in "side-door Pull
mans they frequent the haunts Of fellow
tramps on the outskirts OF towns, they
spend ten days in a Jail where hardened
criminals and 7-year-old lads are herded
together. The author has evidently tried
to make his book as true to the life as he
can without making the life uncomfortably
offensive. His purpose in writing it is to
let the public see where a number Of stray
boys land, for he has found out that many
Of the so-cdlled kidnapped" youngsters are
In reality simple runaways with romantic
temperaments. and Hoboland claims many
Of them. Published by the Century COM

1.-The Conquerer,' by Gertrude Atherton,
is the title Of a new novel-the true and
romantic story of Alexander Hamilton.
Mrs. Anterior has been able to solve the
vexed question of Hamllton's birth and her
story gives out not only a full account OF
his mother, but also Of his own childhood
and boyhood. Many incidents Of Hamil-
tons life, which in themselves sound more
as II belonging to fiction than fact, have
heretofore been merely stated by his bios-
raphers as the dryest matter OF fact,
whereas Mrs. Atherton has thrown into
their proper place these startling and ro-
mantle episodes Of his life. While ad-
herring in the closest possible manner to
the actual facts OF Hamilton's life, Mrs.
Anterior has written his life's story in the
manner of fiction, adding immeasurably to
its interest. Hamilton is alive to the
reader. One gains a picture Of the man
from his boyhood up. the man himself
moving and acting throughout his many
sided career-brilliant, generous. a ~favorite
with women and the astute political genius.

One day mt Edinburgh Lord Rosebery
realized the disadvantage OF owning
swift horses. His brougham had met
him Mt Waverly station to take him
10 Dalmcny. Lord Rosebcry opened
the door or the carriage TO put in some
papers and then turned away. Tho
coachman. too well trained 10 look
round, heard the door shut. and. think
Ing that his master was inside, set Off
at once. Pursuit was attempted, but
what was there In Edinburgh streets
could ovcrtake those horses? The
coachman drove seven miles until he
reached point in the Dalmeny parks
where IL was his lordship's custom to
alight and open n gate. Here the
brougham stood for some minutes
awaiting Lord RoSebery's convenience.
At last the coachman became uneasy
and dismounted. His brain rceled when
he saw an empty brougham. lie could
have sworn TO seeing his lordship enter.
There were his papers. What had hap
pcned? With quaking hand the horses
were turned, and driving back the
coachman looked fearfully along the
sides OF the road. lie finally met Lord
Roscbery travelling in great good
humor by the omnibus.

The Cook rroI,ien,

A system of itinerant cooks comes as
suggestion from England toward
solving the great problem of domestic
servants. This would give variety to
the life OF the household drudge, and
the palate OF the employer would be re-
lieved OF the monotony of fare from
which it'suffers under the ministration
OF one and the same mistress of the
kitchen. The plan is that certain
number of families of almost the same
financial status should form q circuit,
around which the cooks should travel.
serving for fixed period in each fam
lily and then moving on to the next
until the circuit is completed. Why not
reverse the arrangement and pay due
regard TO the Importance of the queen
or the Kitchen? Let the cook be per-
Esanent part OF the household aud let
The families travel about the circuit of
homes rented or owned in common I?
There are great possibilities in this
system of itinerancy. A suggestion has
been made of itinerant sons and daugh-
tiers for III assorted families.

thence perSonified. Patience, however,
