MAYOR SCORES TOUCHDOWN
Also Kicks Goal I'm His Little Game
with Pardon as the Foot
Rail-

Mayor Dahlman scored a touchdown and
licked goal Wednesday in the municipal
game of foot ball between his honor on
one side and the city prosecutor and police
Judge on the other. the foot ball being one
of the mayors pardons which have all
along been buffeted around in any way
which might please the officials of the
court.
Henry r. Miles. employed in the North
western freight depot. was sentenced Tues
day to thirty days in Jail for some family
trouble. The a promptly issued a
pardon, believing that the man was in the
right in the jar in his home. The pardon
was refused by the sheriff for the reason
that the police court officials said that
Miles was committed on a state mittimus.
This made the mayor wroth and he started
out to get the man out of Jail even If It
was necessary TO procure a writ OF habeas
corpus. This was NOT necessary. for Wed
nesday Miles was released from jail by or
der OF the police court.

DR.. STRAUSS WILL EAT FOWL
Ph ysician at Emergency Hospital Gets

Or. Strauss. physician in charge Of the

ing day.
In the appropriation sheet passed by the
city council Tuesday night was included
the appropriation for the emergency and
health funds. This made IL possible for
DIT. Strauss to draw his salary, and the
doctor was down town bright and carly
Wednesday morning to set his warrant.
For It must be remembered that this
ostrscised official who cares for emer-
gency patients has rot drawn any pay
since September.
But when the doctor blew into tho office
OF the city comptroller with a ready-made
Thanksgiving smile on his face in antici-
patton of receiving his pay. he was met
with temporary disappointment. The war
rants had not been signed by his honor,
the mayor of Omaha. The doctor wanted
to be thankful, but he could not see how
this was to be when what money he did
have was burned In his clothing in the
recent fire at the hospital. Comptroller
Lobeck, however. came to the rescue and,
grabbing the big book of warrants under
his arm, bolted up the stairs to the mayors
office and, despite the presence of several
prominent politicians comforting with the
mayor on weighty matters of state, walked
in. He did not stop to rap, even. When
he told hizzoner the story of DR.. Strauss
and the sorry predicament he was in, that

inns TO EAT FAT BILLY GOAT
No More Crow for Them-They Leave
that Dish for the
Jacks.

No more crow for the Jims., They leave
that for the Jacks.
The loudly heralded billy goat banquet to
the braves in Mayor Dahlman's Jimocrat
club will be given Thanksgiving night-the
first ratification by the great unwashed
Of the recent democratic victory in the
county and state. The banquet, or barbe-
cue. will be held in the hall at Twenty
first and Cunning street and Charley Cha
batka, assistant street commissioner, will
be the host.
The banquet will begin at noon Thurs
day, when the Jims will proceed to stuff
themselves with three sucking pigs, twenty
rabbits, one dozen chickens. one dozen
ducks, three geese and a couple Of turkeys.
On the side will be served plenty OF ice
water, limburger, onions and other eatables
and drinkables. This will but pave the
way for the goat feed at night.
The cottage IA years. height four feet
formerly roamed the alleys of Shelley and
was specially fattened on garbage and tin
cans. He was slain two weeks ago and
since that time has been soaking In a
concoction of brandy and onions. Some of
the Jimocrsts aver that they will not eat
of this festive morsel. but when it is re-
membered that a goat banquet is something
entirely out of the usual. an affair OF a
lifetime, 1t is doubted IL any of them will
let the OCCASION pass without nibbling at
this delectable dish.
Mayor Dahlman will sit at the head of
the table and Tom Flynn. Joe Butler, Colo
mel Tanning and other leaders will act as
walters. Chabatka, the host will be the chef.

Corn from tine province OF Buenos Ayres,

goes to England. practically all of It. They
feed almost none down there. The Argen-

bushel moro for their corn than our

Small and Harder,
The Argentine corn Is smaller than ours,
but harder. fliny-like. 1t resembles the
corn grown in our northernmost sections.
That soil corresponds with our northern

very little and then with primitive plows.
They use oxen instead Of horses.

II is held in vast tracts by the old Spanish
aristocracy and the peon, or poor farmer,

impossible for John H. Bowman, who
had been booked to speak at the rink
tonight to be present, but that Daniel
L. Cruice, an eloquent labor orator,
had been assigned to Rock Island in
place of Mr. Bowman.
Mr. Cruice is known to laboring
men all over the state. especially
union labor men. He has been promi-
nent in their councils in Chicago for
years and was at one time the labor
candidate for mayor of Chicago. He
is, therefore, amply qualified to speak
for the cause of labor in this cam
paign, and is sure to give an enter

There is no dearth of labor speakers
on the democratic side in the pending
campaign. a fact that has proven OF
great advantage to the democratic
committees in securing able speaker:

AS CORONER OF COUNTY
Will Effect Saving in County Ex-
pense-other States and coun-
ties Benefit by Plan.

Almost every campaign speaker this
fall, both democratic and republican,
has taken occasion to refer to the pres
ent campaign as peculiar one, and to
comment ON the fact that the people
are thinking more deeply than ever in
regard to the qualifications of the can
didates. This is certainly true, ard
because of it DR.. M. j. O'Hern, the
democratic candidate for coroner, is
gaining new friends every day. He mas
been making as energetic campaign as
he has been able to and not neglect
where his arguments have made a IA
vorable impression.
Has All the Argument.
AS matter of fact, DR.. O'Hern has
all the argument on his side. Where
there are scores of excellent reasons
why physician should fill the Office
Iof1coroner, there are scores of reasons
why an undertaken should not be Sc
lected for that position, and Dr.
OHern's opponent is an undertaken.
Then, too, Dr. O'Hern points out
wherein the selection of physician as
coroner at the present time will save
money for the county. And with the
present condition of county finances;
this is strong argument in his favor.
/ Is Rule Elsewhere.
In Ohio state law makes it necessary
that the coroner be a physician; in
Iowa it is a matter of precedent and
long established custom, as was shown
a few days ago in an interview given
by DR.. Lambach. coroner of Scott coun.
ty; and in other places the value of
this custom is well recognized. In Chi
|, cago and other places where the cor
! oner is not a physician, he has a ply
: sician as deputy, with the title OF
coroners physician. And in Rock Is
r land Coroner l.. V. Eckhart has fol
f some time followed the practice of en-
, listing physician as foreman of tn,
2 lcoroner's jury wherever possible. H,
: realizes the value of a physicians sery
