Tom Davis, Cook
of Camp, Receives
BuckshOt as Pay
Assistant Street Commissioner Limps
as Result Of Attentions by
Companions.

Tom Davis, assistant street commits
sloner, goes limping around his office
these days and offers this explanation for
II when anybody asks him why.
Did you ever hear OF Hackenberry lake?
It's the lake Of a thousand ducks this time
Of year and a few days ago me and Harry
Mcdonald Of Omaha. George Bishop Of
Kansas City Tunniollff the attorney from
Boston. who used TO live in Omaha, and
DR.. Bailey Of Denver went up there to
hunt That is, they went to hunt-1 went
along as chief commissary and master Of
the ompediamenta.
I'VE camped by the lake and every morn
ing I routed them out Of bed half an hour
before daylight and sent them up the
lake with no breakfast, except a cup Of
coffee, and about 1880 they usually came
back with a few ducks and appetites like
horses.
But in spite OF the fact that I was
acting under their Instructions, they hated
to have me rout EN- out so early in
the morning and they kept getting sorer
and sorer about II every day, out nobody
dared say anything about It,
zone morning got them away in good
season and IL did me good to hear them
curse the hour and the weather, when they
rolled out. although they were all having
the best time of their lives. When they
were gone out to discover a duck, /, being
a fresh air flend, took off my clothes
and beat It down to the lake and took my
morning plunge It's not particularly
warm in the lake at daylight these morn
ings, and l came running back as hard
1 could toward the tent and the fire.
1T happened that there we're no ducks
flying that morning and they all came
nrIr
without my clothes into the tent flaps, and
one Of them yelled out What's that? and
another said. Take a shot at IT,. and he
did
They heard me yelp. but when they ar
rived at the tent not one of them asked
me what had been shot. and I didn't get
any sympathy. That's what comes Of con-
sistently doing your duty as cook and
camp follower"

MACHINES ARE TO Be OPENED
Judge Troup Dissolves the Temporary
Restraining Order.
BOARD TO VERIFY THE COUNT
where Any Candidate Can BE
Harmed by Getting the
Exact Count.
BOARD 10 VERIFY THE COUNl

Dissolution Of the district court order
restraining the official election canvassing
board from opening the voting machines to
verify the returns OF the election judges
and clerks in charge Of them on election
day was ordered by Judge A. c. Troup in
the equity division OF district court Monday
at LAS a m. In the same opinion Judge
Troup denied the application for an injunc-
ton restraining the board from opening the
machines. IL was announced that the can
vassing board which adjourned pending "a
hearing on the injunction application AM
ruling in the matter, would resume its
canvass at p. m.
Judge Troup's ruling was made after
practically the entire morning had been
spent in arguments by ]. A. Rine and a.
s. Churchill, attorneys for Charles o. Lo-
beck who asked the injunction, and John
p. Breen and b. G, Burbank, attorneys for
Judge A. L. sutton, who on the face Of the
election returns appears to have been de-
feated in the First district congressional
race by Mr.. LObeck.
Mr. Lobeck went into district court Sat
urday and asked for an Injunction after
the canvassing board, composed Of County
Clerk ID. NJ Haverly, Francis j. Hopper
and Charles II. Kubat, had declared that
they would grant the requests OF Judge
Sutton and Frank j. Fixa, who on the face
Of the returns is defeated for county com
missioner by John Lynch, that the ma
chimes be opened to verify the election
judges count. Judge w. G. Sears issued a
restraining order and set Monday morning
as the time for hearing on the question
whether or not an injunction should issue.
In ruling Judge Troup said that he could
see no reason why the canvassing board
should not be permitted to open the ma
chimes. He said the law clearly authorizes
such action and in all fairness and rea-
sonableness such action should be per-
mitted. He said the opening Of the ma
chimes could in no way cause any change
of the figures on them, but simply would
permit the canvassing board to make GER
tain that the returns of the judges who
copied the figures onto the poll books were
correct.
Mistakes in the copying OF the figures
may have been made, either purposely or
Internationally" he said. 1T is easy to
make such mistakes An 81 might be ms
taken for a 81. or a O. for s.; the figures
in a number might be transposed by acct
dent 1t seems to me that in fairness to
all concerned the board should be per-
mitted TO open the machines"

CIVIL SERVICE RULES MUST
ALSO APPLY TO WATCHMEN
Applicants for Vacancy Must Take
Examination Before Get
ting the Job.

II a mercantile house or otner business
establishment wanted to hire Waterman.
but little attention would be given to the
education OF applicants. Attention would
be focused mainly on honesty and faith
fuIness, and II these qualifications APP
peared to be met there would be little else
LEFT for consideration.
But not so with Uncle Sam. Men who
aspire TO serve Uncle Sam as watchmen
must undergo civil service examination just
as though they were trying to break into
the mail service or some other clerical po-
sitiOn. Civil service means civil service,
IN tile rulings of the government, and no
exception is made for janitOrs, watchmen
or others in that line OF service.
For example. there is a Waterman va
cancy now to be filled at the federal build
ing, by reason OF the recent death OF John

once Abe l.incOln's bodyguard. Colonel

County May Save
Thousands Yearly
by Private Plant
Commissioners Consider Installing
Electric Power Plant and Clean
ing Appliance for Building.

The saving OF several thousands or doll
lars a year for the county may be effected
by the installation and operation OF
private electric power plant in the new
county building, in the opinion of the
county commissioners and John Latenser,
supervising architect Of the building. Reso-
lutions ordering advertisement for bids
for two electric generators will be adopted
by the Board Of County Commissioners
when It meets Tuesday morning. according
to County Commissioner Pickard.
Bids on a clock system comprising a
master clock and a servant clock in every
office, and vacuum cleaning system also
will be asked.
THE approximate cost Of the electric
generators is 5000" said Commissioner
Piekard. THE clock system, we think,
would cost about $1,000 and the vacuum
cleaning system about 1900.
I'VE have not actually decided to put in
these things. but we are going to get bids,
and II we can get satisfactory ones, they
will be accepted.
when we we're In Kansas City a few
weeks ago inspecting elevators, so that
we could consider our elevator bids more
intelligently, we also looked into the cleo
trioity business. In one big building there
a private electric power plant Is main
tained. power being generated for lights
and elevators. The power is produced at a
cost Of 2h cents per hlowatt In the sum-
mer time and In the winter, when the heat
ing plant is running. the cost gets down
to cents. We are paying six cents q
kilowatt now. 1 am pretty sure we can
get a better rate than that for the new
building for our elevators viii be run by
electricity and we viii use lot more than
we are using now but at that I think
we could produce the power for less than
we could buy It. We couldn't get It down
10 cents, OF course. In Kansas City they
burn crude oil; we would have to use coal,
which comes some higher and doesn't pro-
duoe as much heat"
Commissioner Pickard said he believed
the vacuum cleaning system would mean
q considerable saving for the county. 40
BY It's use one man could do the work of
several using ordinary brooms and brushes.

DAIRY CONDITIONS IMPROVE
Health Commissioners Says They Are
Being Bettered Under the
New Regime.

According to the health commissioner i'm
provement in the diaries is gong on rap
idly and only few weeks more is needed
to put them in good shape. The recent ag-
itation and the new regime in inspection
by Health Inspectors Daemon and Bonce
has stirred the dairy farmers up into taxi
ing some interest in keeping their places
sanitary
Cooley F. Brucker, acting mayor, how
ever thinks there is still much room for
Improvement, but because of the rather
frivolous tone that was a marked charac-
teristic OF the last inspection trip by the
council he discourages any more inspection
of that kind.
The dsiries in East Omaha are still in
very bad condition." says Acting Mayor
Brucker, and much improvement will be
necessary before the work that was begun
in putting them right is finished. The
members of the council, however will
probably take no more action in the mat
ter, but will let the health commissioner
finish the JOB The councils visits have
helped, but the dairy inspectors ought to
be able to carry out instructions until
everything is accomplished"

Hans Puts Wrong
Plaster on Wound
Literally Places Doctors Prescription
on Sore Instead of Having
it Filled.

Hans Rasmussen of East Omaha imidly
opened the door of DIR. William Windle
Davis office on the sixth floor of the City
National Bank building and still more
timldly stammered 20 the young woman in
charge Of the reception room that he was
anxious to see a medicine doctor"
you are in the right place." answered
the office girl, but DR.. Davis is busy just
now. He win be ready to see you in a
few minutes. however"
Hans said he would wait, so he took
chair in the reception room and thumbed
the pages Of current magazine.
Al last the man from East Omaha was
admitted to the private office Of the doctor.
and there he explained that while engaged
In cutting corn stalks last month, he had
accidentally struck his ankle with the
point Of a corn knife. and as a result a
rather obstinate ulcer had formed Per-
haps Hans did not use the word "obsu-
nate" but he said something that meant
the same--anyhow, this does not purport
to be verbatim quotation.
1--WE can cure that up easily enough"
said DIR. Davis, and at the same time he
wheeled around in his revolving shair and
wrote an ointment prescription.
Bind this on the ulcer. LET II remain TWEEN
ty-four hours, then wash the wound with
a solution OF synod soap, and then make a
fresh application same as in the beginning
Keep this up for four or five days and
/ believe the ulcer win be healed" said the
doctor by way of direction.
Hans took the bit OF paper containing
hieroglyphics. such as doctors make for
druggists to read, paid the doctor his fee
thanked him profusely and went his way
Four days later Hans again entered the
office OF Dr. Davis
''See here" he said, and his tone was
neither suave nor timid as It was on his
first visit Il have done what you told me
to dol have bound him tight on the ulcer
every twenty-four hours, then 1 take him
off and I wash him good with I've soap,
and then 1 bind him back once more but
the ulcer gets worse instead Of better
Here's your plastep-I want nay money
back"
And 90 saying, Hans deposited on the
doctors desk a badly crumpled and stained
piece Of paper, which on examination the
doctor discovered to he the prescription he
had written.
WHAT exclaimed Mr. Davis, you
didn't pat this paper on that ulcer. did
your This Is a prescription / meant for
you to get filled at a drug ttore. II
calls for an ointment. and wanted you to
put the ointment on your wound. OF
course this paper OF itself is no good"
But" persisted Hans. "you said for me
10 bind him on my leg"
Yes. but / thought you understood that
you were to bind the medicine on. and not
the piece OF paper on which the prescrip-
ton Is written" explained the doctor.
"Ah right then" said Hans. give him
back to me. and 1 get him filled by the
drug store"
