Preacher Will
Be Chief Talker
on Trade Tour
Rev. John A. Spyker Selected by Com
mercial Club to Spiel About
Omaha.

Added to all the other precautions
Omahans are taking on the western Iowa
trade excursion, the committee has secured
a preacher to be the official talker at the
various towns where talks will be made.
Talking is always a feature of the Omaha
trade excursions. They carry a profess
sional or semi-professional orator to make
addresses and tell the citizens of the many
towns visited how much Omaha thinks of
them and what a nice city Omaha is to
visit. A W. Jefferis has been the orator
on several trips, but this time Rev. John
A. Spyker. pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, has been selected.
The party will sail a week from Monday
and scatter sunshine and advertising mat
ter, sheep bells and music over 1000 miles
of Iowa territory.
Commissioner Guild has looked UP the
history of all Omaha trade excursions and
finds the western Iowa excursion will be
the thirty-fifth trip Omaha business men
have made. This is almost two each year,
as it was not until 1855 that w. S. Wright
suggested a trade excursion and Omaha
made the first ever made. Kansas City is
this season making the nineteenth trade
excursion.

Kill Nate Travis.
LATTER IS GRADUALLY SINKING
County Attorney English VIII Get
statement from Him 60 he
Used in the TRIAL Of His
Aasai1ant.

A change for the worse in the condition
of Nate Travis. the negro WHO was shot
by Roy Davis, also colored, in front Of the
Midland saloon. Thirteenth street and
Capitol avenue, Wednesday afternoon, has
necessitated n second operation and the
necessity of the county attorney securing a
statement from the wounded man, TO be
used in case of his death. Davis, who was
arrested en- the charge of shooting with in
tent to kill. is held by the police at the
city Jail.
During Friday night, Travis condition
became critical and he was placed under
the influence Of opistes to stimulate him
and ease his pain until the operation could
be performed. Or. f. c. Henry operated
early Saturday morning and said after the
operation that Travis probably would live
at least twenty-fou hours. there being
no danger Of a crisis within that time.
Because Of the mans condition. Deputy
County Attorney Ellick. n was to secure
the ante-mortem statement. was unable TO
do so. He will interview Travis as soon
as the latter is able to be seen.
The cause OF the trouble between Davis
and Travis has not yet been fully ex-
planned, Davis refusing to discuss the af-
fair. In the event of Travis' death. Davis
probably would be charged with murder
Travis home is in the rear Of Washington

BURNAN KEEPS OLD STAFF
City Attorney Will Reappoint Ig.
Dunn and J. A. Rine.
THREE OUT FOR DANIELS PLACE
TePoeI, Lynch and Anheuser. Al
Jims, want 60 ne City Prose-
cutOr-It's Up 60 the
Mayor to settle.

City Attorney Burnam will reappoint his
present asnistant, Ignatius ]. Dunn. first.
and John A. Rine, second assistant city
attorney.
II see no reason why I should make any
change. ! believe the two attorneys have
done good work that has been acceptable
to all Irrespective OF party affliation, and
II Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Rine will accept re-
appointment, I will send their names to
the council, said Mr.. Burnam.
The first draft of the new city charter
contained a clause giving the city attorney
the power to appoint the city prosecutor
but this was eliminated later and the power
of appointment still rests with the mayor.
Had II been given to the city attorney 1t
Is more than probably that Herbert S.
Daniel would be r~eappointed, which will
not be the case with the appointing power
lodged with the mayor. Mr.. Bhrnam is
a Jack, as are both his assistants, and
friends nj MIR. Daniel, who il also a Jack
and an appointment Of the mayor. say that
had the city attorney the power TO sp-
point the city prosecutor be would name
Mr.. Daniel to succeed himself.
There are three active candidates for the
appointment Of city prosecutor. Chief
among these 10 L. J. TePoei, one of the
leading Jim orators and a member Of the
library board. Another Is W. p. Lynch,
secretary of the democratic city committee
and right hand man OF Boss Flynn. The
third Is Fred w. Anheuser. also an ardent
Jim.
Jiins Are Not worried.
Tie democrats claim to nave no worry
over tneir appointments and believe that
the new council. though it win be evenly
divided with the republicans, will con-
firm most OF the mayors appolntees. They
base this belief on the new charter amend
ment which gives the council the power to
confirm the appointees of the city engi-
neer, which has not been the case hereto
fore.
The new engineer Is a republican and he
has the appointing of a large force. Many
OF the men-inspectors and field engineers
are paid more than some of the mayors
,appolntees. notably the boiler, plumbing
and license inspectors, the market master,
and others. These men are designated by
tftle and have offices In the city building,
which the engineers force have not. and
this title is worth something, they say.
However, IL the republican councilmen
will not come across" and vote to con-
firm the mayors appointments, thon the
democrats, they say, will not vote to con-
firm the appointments to be made by the
city engineer.
As the council is evenly divided, men
around the city hall look for some inter
esting sessions in the future and possible
deadlocks on matters of Importance.
