FINALLY REACHED A REPORT Major Paddock's Plan for Paying the County Employes Presented and Adopted. NO GREAT SAVING IS APPARENT HERE Tetronchment Is Not One of the Strong How the ol= prarily, Features of the Sc General Far ¥ stered Up Tem At tue county commissioners’ meeting held yosterday afternoon, Mr. Paddock, who was appointed to flll a vacancy, was clearly in possession of the edge, if such & thing can enter into tho deliberations of legislative bodies. This fact was caused principally on account of Mr, Paddock posing as the spokes- man for the entire body. Mr. Paddock, as usual, opened his orator- jcal batteries before the chairman called the meeting to order. While parties were still sauntering about the room, the government director of the Union Pacific raiiroad sug- ted that Chairman Timme call time. Mr. imme dia not hesitate, but instead said the board was ready for the transaction of busi Dess, ““The clerk will call the roll,” commanded Aflr. Paddock. Havine once or twico measured swords with Mr. Paddock, Clerk Sackett obeved. A hush, one of tho quiet, painful kind, filled the room, for everyono there knew that Major Paddock was about to speak, Those Pprosont were not mistaken, for Mr, Paddock opened his mouth and the words roiled off his tongue as freely and with as litule effort us water from tho back of a duck. He said the committee of the whole, the committee that had under consideration the salaries of county employes, was rand{w report. The report was signea by only Mr. Paddock, but it was adopted. Mr. Berlin voting “nay.” County Employes and Salaries, “I'his report, which has exhausted the spare moments of the committee of the whole for many days, provides that the county clerk shali have ono deputy av a salary of $1,200 per year and an assistaunt at a salary of 600, Tho register of deeds shall haye onedeputy a salary of $1,200 per year; two deputios at a salary of §)00 each; four clerks at 60 per month; oae clerk at §0; two maleclerks at §60 por month each; threo fomale clerks at #45 per month each; all to be paid out of the fees of the office. The county judge is given six clerks, ono at §75 per month: one at §65; one at $60; one at £0; one at $40, avd one at §20. Out av the poor farm there will bo a super- wtendont at 5333 per month, a matron at $25; physician, £30; clerk, £30: engineer, §100; firemau, $34; fireman, $30: undertaker, 303 night watchman §20; cook, §18; laundress, $1¢ Tho treasurer's office is fixed One deputy at $175 por month, one book- keeper at $125, one clerk at $125, one clerk at 8100 and another clerk at §100 per month when the members of the board may thizk that his services are nceded. The salary of County Auditor Evans was fixed at 8150 yer month and that of Deputy Kilton at $100 per mouth. The engineer at tho court houso and jail j.ets $00 per month and his two assistants 360 cach. \After the report was read Mr. Berlin asked what had become of the county at- torney and the sheriff. “They will be considered when the com- 1mittee meets again,” answered Mr. Paddock. Its Effect on the Ofiices. Mr. Paddock then secured permission to sit ngain next Wednesday morning. Mr, Stenberg doubted if the new plan would save the county any great amount of money. In the register of deeds office Mr. Mogeath stated that the change of salaries would not umount to anything, but that it would cut off three olerks and throw the work av least thirty days behind. In the county judge's office Mr. Paddock’s report places two additional clerks upon the list, one with a salary of $40 and the other with a salary of $20 per month. ©ne clerk is cut from 83 to $75, another from $70 to 65, and a third increased from 50 to $60 per month. Under the old plan the salary list of tho ofice amounted to $253 per month, while now 1t will reach $310, After disposing of salaries and when ap- propriation sheets were reached, the clerk reud an item to tho effect that Doputy Auditor Kitton had boen allowed $100 for the wonth of February. : “That's not Tight,” interposed Mr. Pad- dock, \, hese are the auditor's figures,” an- swered County Clerk Sackott. ‘Auditor Evans was called in and explained that he made up the sheet from Mr. Pad- dock’s report. Tho figures were changed and upon ex- amining’ Mr. Paddook’s report there the lines stood out in bold relief, showing that e had passed upon tho sheriff and his depu- fies, but afterwards had run a pen tnrough that portion of his report. T'he mutilated report showed that he had soncluded to allow Sheriff Bennett throe deputies at §75 per month each; one deputy at £50 and a clerk at 0. He had also dis- posed of the jail force and proposed to allow Jnilor Miller 880 per month instead of $70, the amount ho now _veceives; Deputy Engstod §70 mstead of $05 and Ernest $70 instead of $50. ¥ixing up the Funds. Mr. Paddock did another thin, mitted the correctness of Tik BEg's report where it published the fact that $1,475.91 remained ia the general fund making the admission he askea that $23 of the poor farm fund, 5,202,581 sundry other funds and $4,020.40 collected since January 7, making a total of £32,020.59, be transferred from the county oneral fund to & new fund to be known as “the special cash fund of the county general fund.” The motion prevailed and the money was transferred. ‘I'he county clerk was instructed to adver- tiso for one week for bids for furnishing drugs at the county hospital. A. W. Clark, representing the Society of Associated Charities, asked for a conference with the committes on charities for the pur- pose of devising ways aud means for fur- Dishing employment to worthy parties, The matter was left in the hands of Judge Sten- beryg to decide upon & time for holding the conference. Mr. Clark stated that during the month of Jannary the association had furnished 1,200 meals and 600 lodgings. During the month of Februury men with fami'ies had been fur- nished employment in the woodyard on an average of about one day each week, What (. was lacking was the money to buy wood. 1f *the county would set aside some of the money in the poor fund the wood could be purchased ¢ a number of 1dle men given employment.

President Oxnard sed With lus County Scale of Prices, President Oxnard of the Oxnard Beot Sugar company has endorsed tho action of the Douglas County Beet Sugar association in fixing a scale of prices for sugar beots raised in this county during the comiig year. He has written the following lottor to the secretary of the local association: New Yonk, Feb. 28.—Hon. W. N. Nason, Secretary Nobraska Beot Sugar Convention, Omuha, Nob.: Dear Sir—After careful consid- eratlon of the proceedings of your convention, and with the object of solving us rapldly as possiblo the ugricultural sido of the beet suzur industry, wo_have. in doforence to the Judgment of tho assembled dele zates, decided toadopt for tho comin your the scale of prices fixod by your convention. This sculo of prices shows a very large ad- vance over what we have paid heretofore, and while we recognize that it involves con- siderable risk to us, we do this in order to place ourselves beyond criticism as to our de- sire to encourage tho rapid development of this important industry, confidently relying upon tho states carryinz out the co-operative suggostion of the convention by ostablishing a bounty. doptinz this scalo we assort without" fo; contradiction, that we aro paying the farmer growiug beets for us, a farkor proportion of the manufactarers re- turns. thun is paid by any other American beet sugar factory, and this is trao from the fact that Utah gives a bountry of 1 cent higher than 1t did in Nebraska for the past year, and in order to_establish the industry porma- nently in Nebraskn the emoluments to the maunufacturer must be s great as in other parts of the United States, Weo are convinced that at the seale provosed tho beet erop is without uny doubt by far tho surest and most profitablo_crop within tho reach of the Nobraska farmer, but in order to establish the Industry ~permanently the farmer must_grow beets In suflicient quunti- ties to supply the factory with its raw ma- torial ut u prico which tho factory can afford topuy. If this cannot be done it must be ad- mitted that the industry cunnot be profitabiy conducted in Nobraska ns in_other localities We have decided to meet, without reserva~ tion, the full demand of tho state convention, und have everything done in our power to de- velop the beet sugar Industry in your stute, because we bollove in Nebraska, The question to bo solved Is this: Can Ne- braska supoly eet sugar factories with their raw material at o price which will make the Industry thero as profitable s 1t can be mude in other localities?

Wrong Gig Came and the Big Pollcy Shop Was Suddenly Raide For some time past a policy shop, catering especially to the colored people, nas been running at 103 South Fourteenth streot. In order to evade the law tickets wore not sold openly, but were procuved fu rather a roundabout way. The front room of the joint was filled up as a stationery and out- lery store. The victim would purchasea worttless lead pencil or a worse knife and a ticket for the drawing was thrown in. The price of the article of merchandise purchased varied with the value of the ticket, and it was no uncommon sight to see big burly negroos who could neither read nor write going around with a pocket full of pencils. Lots of suckers were caught and dozens of poor people daily put up 25 or 80 cents of their hard earned money to possess one or wore of the little slips of paper with purple figures on them. No one ever seemed to draw prizes of any especial value, and the game was brought to a climax yesterday afternoon by a couple of detectives. Frank Brown, & colored teumster, had been bucking the game for some time aud was overjoyed when he drew a lucky num- ber calling for thirty-seven big irou dollurs, Brown presented his slip at the desk, - but was told that there had been a mistake in the numbers and that his slip badn’t drawn a cont. Tms sudden dllnpllmhllmsnw was 00 much for the teamster and he sought the chief of police for advice, The result was a warrant for Thomas Bitterson and John E, Jackson, managers and proprietors of the joint. After a little hustling the ofticers lo- ccated their men and lodged them in jail on the charge of carrying on a lottery. Bail was furnished and the prisoners released. The cuse will come up 1 police court Monday. —_—— Dr, Cullimore, oculist to Mo. Pac* Ry, —_— CHICAGO'S WIGWAM.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FAST ONLY IN FORM NOW Lent's Forty Days Have Little Terror to the Modern Ohristian Mind, EXTRA DEVOTION IS ALL REQUIRED Things That Were Symb ditic ce Experiences Are 18 Merely—Arrangements for Ad= al Services During the Period Beginning Wednesday, As ages glide away religious customs undergo changes and many things that were zealously observed in fact and reality bacome only symbols and figures of speoch to suc- ceeding genorations. The day designated in the calendar as Ash Wednesday will bo Wednesday of this weok. In the early days of Christianity the zealous followers of the meek and lowly Nazarcne used to put on sackeloth and sit in ashes for dwhiloon Ash Wednesday. This was the ancient mothod of showing contrition of lieart and humility, Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent and Lent has also bocome only & symbol, a mere figuro of speech, as compared with that which the soason originally moant. Tho sea- son of forty days oalled Lent was originally observed by devout Christians with a zeal and faithfulness that would startle the mod- ern Christian. The fast of forty days, com- momorating the fast of the Savior, was not to the early Christians moroly & susponsion of foasting and a cessation of high five par- ties and fashionable balls, It meant a real sacrifice, an actual fast of several duys and an abstinence from everything but the very plainest of food for the entire forty days. No Longer Tuken Literally, Graduaily the custom of sitting in sack- cloth and ashes gave way to the spriukling of ashes by the priests over the heads of the communicants at the altar. The fasting be- came more and more a matter of the imagin- ation, a mero theory or symbol of the real thing that had passed away. In the Catholic church the sprinkling of ashes is still cus- tomary. but itis uot considered absolutely essential to the observance of Lent. Most of the material accossories have lost much of their original importance in Christian wor- ship, and with Protestant denominations muny of the material uids and accessories to piety have been abandoned altogethor. The Episcopal church and the Catholic are the two denominations represented in Omaha that still pay considerablo attention to the observance of Lent. Specia! services will be held duriug Lent for the purpose of imbuing tho hearts of the members with a aeeper and move sincere piety aud a Godly sorrow for sins committed. Humility ana contrition of heart will bo the main objoct sought. The holy altars will breathe a spirit of devotion and humility, the stations of the ocross and other sacred pictures that grace the walls of these temples of worship will speaik to those who look upon them in the languago of that plain and humble Son of Man and God who withstood the temptings of the devil for forty days without food. With the averago human being itis a difMicult task to with- staud the attacks of the devil for a single day even with the very best things to cat that tho market affords. Spectul Services Promised. During the Lonten season there will be special noonday sorvices in a room connected with the Farnam Streot theater conducted by the various -ministers of the Episcopal church, These servicos will be held overy day and will last only twenty minutes. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew will hald a spe- clal service every Thursday evening during Lent at the various Episcopal churches of the city. There will bea mission during the fourth week in Lent at All Saints Epis- copal church, conducted by Rev. Mr. Mackey of rittsburg. Dean Gardnor will hold a mission for chil- dren during one week of Lent, The service will bo held at 4 p. m. so that children in school will have an opportunity to attend. Tho Ministerial union, composed of the fifteen Episcoval mimsters of tho city, will hold no more sessions uatil after Kaster.

(D CHARITY WORK, Rev. A, W, Clark Tells Abott the Campaign and its Prospects, The winter's work and future promise of the Omaha City Mission and Co-oporative Charities is thus discussed by the secretary : Inour work this winter we have beon guided by cortain fundamental priaciplos. [irst—Make employment the basis ot relief, Second —Prevent indiscriminate and dupli- cato giving. Third—Ftad out the impostors and pro fossional boggars and put on end to this bus- inoss, Ifourth—Search out tho realy deserving destitute cases and providethe reliet needed. 1t will be secn from this that our purpose ia to do all that can be done to reduce pauper ism and to prevent pauperism. To accom- plish this we make *‘employment the basis of relief.” “If a man will not work, neither should he eat.” We aro zealous for the woodyard department of our work. last month we furnished over 1,200 meals and about (00 lodgings as temporary relief to men out of work and out of money. ln this way men are not pauporized by receiving the assistanco they need and must have or suffer. While temporary employ ment is given the mon in tnis yard, we scck to aid tnem in securing permancat employment. Many of them have been succossful while others have not. We observo that the unskillod laborers as a rule aro left behind in the race. Tho conditions of industry ave such that the domaua for skilied lavor incroases. Not many skillod laborors have como to us this winter for md, Our society intends to push the work of industrial education. Wo have the industrial school for givis now 1n successful operation, but we are reaching toward larger plans both for boys and girls. Tho girls of these poor families should be trained to cook, etc., and the boys should oach bo taught a 'traae, Our friendly inn of the woodyard should be onlarged so as to be a wayfarers' lodge for boy tramps and girl tramps. This shelter for boys and giris could be madeso attractive that many would be drawn from tho streets aud places of vice and provented from be- coming paupers and criminals. 1tis a won- der o us that so few seein to realizo the 1m portance of this work and its value to the community at large. System in relief work isa necessity in order to prevent dupiicate giving and to find out the impostors. As it has been i Omaba in the past, the profsssional beggars have had a chanco to go from one charitable so- cioty to another to got aid. The saddest part of our experienco in this work hus been to find out that so many have done this. In some instance we can tracs it for five yours whera the families have lived upon charit most of this time. By theirsystematicschem of begging they have imposed upon many good people in our city. In somo instances it has been discovored and, muny have be como discouraged in tryluz to help the poor. Now that the reliof sociéties of tho city co- operate iv the work it witl):be dificult for any except the deserving to gat assistanco, and there are many of these worthy cases. It any ono thinks therelis no suffering from poverty let him visit some of the homos in the lower part of the city and in_the out- skirts of tho city/ Lot bim cail at “‘Headquartors,” [ 116:c North Tenth street, for the ' addressss, He will find some of theso people sick, with- necessury beading, *eldthing and pro- fous; without any of thecomforts of lito; ug 1o flith aud ignorgnocy with no hopa of things getting better in this world nor the world to come. _Ho will find other casos very different. F lucatgd, refined and most respectable familios have had sickness and misfoftunes which have 'bfought them into distress and now they must veceivo aid. Our ultimate object 15 the elevation of tho poor. Tho cases of charity we have this year we do not expect to_have on our hands next yoar. We do not claim to have solved all the problems in tuis, but we are strug- gling with somo of tho practical phnses of them. Last weck we sat down with fivo men who aro laborers for one of tho largest cornorations - in_this city, They ail had the spirit_of discontent. Ouno toid how an ac- quaintance of his in tho early part of the winter was out of employment, could not find work, would not beg, deliborately com- mitted a_petty theft, mado no effort to con- ceal 1t, was locked up and furnished some- thing 'to_eat. They bolieved he diu right. We asked what they supposed to be the cause of 50 much poverty and distress. They answered, “too many out of employment and too low wages.” They discussed the ques- tion like statesmen and philosophors and showed how ‘‘the weak are not protected against tho strong,” and how tho *‘toilers and producers of this country suffer from the ageressions of concentrated capital.’” The broader social probloms we are not called upon to settle in our practical work, but are constantly dealing with the funda- mental principles set forth in_this article. Wo aslk for the co-operation and advise of all who are interested in this important work. A. W, CLARK, Entortainments This Week.

Free's plan for establishing a fund to be expended in reclaiming drunk ards by paying for their treatmont at oo of the institutions of the state established for that purpose is meeting with approval ard encouragement, Mr. Iree placed 100 with the business managor of Tk Ber as a basis for this fund. He did so with tho statoment that he was anxious to aid in resculag mon who are slaves tothe liquor habit, and who are nuxious to take a troatment, but unable financially to do so.

I think whore money is advanced for troatment un obliga- tion should be reauired calling for tho return of tho money as soon as possible. In most case this would undoubtediy be done, thus making a porpetual fund for tbis worthy cause. Yours truly, T. ELLswonTit, It was origivally Mr. Free's idea to make his donation conditional upon forty-nine other poople giving an equal amount. He decided, however, to give $100 to the fund and to uvgo others who feel interested to give whatover amount thoy might fecl able toward the establishmont of the fund for such a benevolent purpose. Mo has accord- ingly asked Tue Bee to call upon benevolen t veople to contributo to this fund in any amount, small or great. Should there bo any further contributions they will be acknowl- edged through Tik Bee. ‘I'ho donations thus far raceived are as fol- lows: Milton E Free I Ellsworth. Total. . SOUTH omaiia.
