LINCOLN. April 1s.-Cspecial. Through
the statute specifically provides that no
member OF the legislature may be APP
pointed 20 a civil position during the
term for which he was elected, Governor
Aidrich today announced that he had
named p. c johnson Of Tecumseh as the
chaplain a. the state penitentiary for the
next biennium. Rev. Mr.. johnson was
member OF the lower house OF the legisla-
turs in the session just closed and formerly
held the position to which he was ap-
pointed today b. the state executive
The Methodist clergyman, ii is said, was
one Of the men who objected strenuously
when Governor Aldrich announced last
December that James Delahunty OF Clay
Center was TO be the warden Of the peni-
tenuary following the close Of Thomas
Smiths term.
The chief contention made against Mr..
Deiahunty was that he believed in more
discipline and less devotionals, while the
johnson county representative, while he
was at the penitentiary, believed that too
much OF the latter could not exist in such
place.
Three Bank Examiners.
Governor Aldrlch today appointed the
three additional bank examiners provided
for under the McGrew amendments to the
bank guaranty deposit law. The men
named to assist in carrying out the pro
visions Of that act are Joseph Pigman OF
Broken Bow. r. Springer Of this city and
l.. r. Albright OF Red Cloud The places,
according to the general maintenance bill
passed by the legislature. pay a salary OF
q 800 per year but IN the McGrew bill,
which was also passed at the late session,
salary was provided for at the rate Of
S2.OOo per annum BY some II is thought
the general maintenance bill would have
precedence over the other measure in this
matter. but the contention is made by
other legal authorities that the bank ex-
amners can put IN q deficiency claim at
the end OF the blenniuf and that the state
legislature cannot we'll turn It down.
Table Turned on Malone.
Following a chailenge to debate made
by Robert Malone, democrat. to A. II.
Armstrong; republican, both wet candidates
for mayor OF this city. the latter has
given out a communication in which he
SAYS that as far as a debate is concerned
there Is absolutely nothing doing. The
former president OF the gas company,
however, asserts In his letter that II
Malone desires 70 let the people know the
various phases OF his candidacy that he
viii gladly pay the rental on the Audi
torinm, providing the democrat will de-
liver the RddFess and. incidentally the
goods.
To this turn in the affairs the husky
Malone, who q known as an honest and
competent contractor but not much Of an
orator, has replied that he does not care
10 accept contributions from a corpora
ton inAsmuch a. he is a candidate of the
people and not OF the special interests.

jackson Ready for work.
Deputy Food Commissioner W. r. Jack
son a democrat who assumed that role
under the present republican admlnistra-
ton, has In contemplation the changing OF
office methods and ways OF conducting
pure food campaigns. two things which he
believes will facilitate the workings Of that
department II Is intended as a secondary
consideration. also that this will enable
the most work TO be done for the least
expense, in the hope that the pure food
appropriation win suffice TO keep all the
inspectors on the Job for the entire bien-
mum Commissioner jackson says that he
IS we'll satisfied with the results OF the
recent legislature, however, as far as his
department IL concerned The passage OF
the pure seed bill Will mean added duties
for the inspectors. but It is thought that

times it's cost to the farmers OF the state.
