The following figures gwen by the
Phil adelphia Record, showing the
rapid growth in the expenditures OF
the Government under Republican
rule. are of too great interest surely to
be Ii Chilly considered by the masses
of the people who in the long run nave
to be taxed to meet them:
under Cleveland's second Admins
stration the total expenditures of the
national Government amounted in
round figures to 81, 5000, 0OO,or S494,-
100000 a year, and under Mckinley s
term they rose at a bound to $780,
100000. In this the increase caused
by the war with Spain must be reck-
oned. Making all allowances for army
and navy expenditures under Mckin-
ley's term they do not account for the
increase in Roosevelt's first term to
s2,641 900, 900, or upward eff $500, 600, 600
a year. Under the present Admins
tration the prodigalitX of expenditure
= IS sucn that il L has has risen 81 leaps and
bounds to the enormous appioPrla'loeH
of more than $1,000, 900, 900 for Inc tis
cal year beginning on July last"
The contrast of eXtravagant RepuC
lican administration with the wise
economy of Democratic rule, giver
above, is enough to startle every tai
payer, whether Republican or Demo
crat, and make him see his duty II

CORNISH SAVES DEER PARK
Secures Agreement from City Conn
cilmen to Reconsider Decision
90 Abolish IL.

Through the efforts Of E. ]. Cornish. one
Of the members OF the Board of Park Com
missioners. the democratic city council has
decided to reconsider It's decision 10 de-
molish Deer park and that sunken garden
and chiidren's playground in the southern
part Of the city win be saved.
A short time aso the council ordered the
building q a srhde and the making of a
road sixty-six feed wide through the park
on sixteenth street. the grade to be 900
feet long and on the average Of twenty-five
feet In height, This would leave two mud
holes on either side OF the grade, one be-
tween F1fteenth and Sixteenth streets and
the other between Sixteenth and Seven
teenth streets, resulting in the destruction
OF the natural forest trees in the park and
the practical abandonment OF It. The build
ing OF the grade would cost property own
ers on the street south Of the park s. per
front foot and the council would be COM
PEELED to m the park up 10 the level OF
the grade. an undertaking requiring the ex-
penditure Of $4,000. Fifteen years time
would then be lost while new trees were
growing.

PRISONER REBELS AT PARDON
old Man BeRs to Stay in Jail when
Mayors Clemency IL
Issued.

W. J. Voght has a grievance against
Mayor Dahlman. Mayor Dahlman unfeel-
ingly pardoned him out of the county jail,
and although Voght objected, plead and
finally rebelled and refused to be put out,
Sheriff Bradley told him the mayors par
don went and the old man was set outside
the window for half an hour. pleading
with Deputy Sheriff sideen to take him
back, but he could not get back into his
cell, and now he is sore at Mayor Dahl
man.
Voght was sent up from police court for
fifteen days. He served three or four, when
a friend went TO the mayor and secured
the pardon Monday. Voght did not want
to go and he was allowed to remain In
jail until Tuesday morning. when Sheriff
Bradley decided he had no right to keep
a pardoned prisoner. Voght objected. HI
asked permission to go out and vote and
then return to Jail. Sheriff Bradley told
him TO go out and vote and stay out.
Voght said he did not want to leave the
jail because he had no other place to go to.

FRIENDS GLAD FOR JOHNSON
Congratulate Him on Dismissal by
Federal Court of the Case
Against Him.

Friends of ]. Cook Johnson, who was for
ten years engaged in the fancy poultry
business in Omaha, are congratulating him
that the federal authorities have, after two
years of investigation. decided they had no
case against Mr.. Johnson. and as a re-
suit came to the conclusion to strike out
the Indictment, which has been pending
from the federal docket.
Mr.. Johnson was an active young busi-
ness man, who had established a fancy
poultry business. Practically his entire life
has been spent in this city and it was
with the earnings of a number OF years
that he succeeded In building up to a
profitable point this business.
1t came with much surprise in the fall Of
1905 the announcement of the return of a
federal indictment against Johnson for i'm
proper use of the mails.
Mr.. Johnson fought the preliminary
stages of the prosecution with unusual
vigor, securing a temporary injunction
against Postmaster Palmer f%orbiddinR the
local authorities from tampering with his
mail. This was one of the few instances
where a federal Judge had ever granted
a temporary injunction in a case of this
kind.
The decision was given by Judge Krleber
Of Arkansas. then sitting in this district.
In the meantime the poultry business Of
Johnson had been so injured that he
thought it best for the time being at least,
to dispose of his interests. which was
done.
johnson has always maintained that the
Indictment was the result of a conspiracy
extending over n period OF several years,
behind which were two or three magazine
publishers. whose advertising columns he
refused to use in the promotion Of his
business. He has always courted a
thorough investigation into his business
methods and his dealings with his custom
ers, giving the postoffice authorities full
play in digging into his business relations
in order that they might ascertain the
truth or the fslsity OF the charges against
him.
Mr.. Johnson has always considered the
postal authorities innocent parties in the
indictment secured against him in 1906
Mr.. Johnson has been occupied for the
last two years In making a vigorous fight
TO regain his position in the business
world and has On, a measure succeeded.
His present field, that Of an advertising
expert. has been extended to cover ad-
yertising service throughout the country.
In addition 10 the handling Of a number
OF accounts for Omaha firms
Mr., Johnson says he Is at liberty 20

he chooses should he so decide.

DIMPLES GIVE HIM AWAY
Little Beauty Holes in Young Mans
Cheeks a Girl TO Iden-
tify Him,

Identifying a suspicious character by his
dimples was the novel method adopted by
Miss Adelaide Wallace in police court Tues
day morning, the young woman being a
clerk in tho stationery department of a
big store where Carl Scatter was supposed
TO have stolen two s. bills last Wednesday.
His arrest Saturday when he appeared at
the police station to claim a suit case
which the detectives had removed from his
room in an effort TO get some track OF
him, caused considerable comment, II being
somewhat out Of the ordinary for sus-
pected persons to walk into jail just when
they are wanted by the police.
Scatter was sentenced to fifteen DAYS in
jail, the sentence being made light because
there was a faint possibility that he was
not the guilty man, although his reputa-
ton did not warrant his release.
