The baliot resulted in the following cholc President, J. J. Shaw of ge county, vice president, Chris Hartman of Omaha. sceretary, John Q. Goss of Bellevue, color bearer, Barnoy Tunison of Gilmore. A telegram of regret was read from Colonel Furnas who was unable to attend the reunion. The spirit was willing, but rlhieumatism was mghtier than the spirit and he could not leave his bed. Major Pearman and Comrade were appointed a committeo to draft re tions of respect on the death of Mrs, Church Howe and Mrs, J. M. Thaye ‘Lo subjeet_of consolidating the two or- ganizations of Nopraska veterans, which exist in Lhis state av present, was discussed, and 1t was’ decided to only have one ory izition in the tuture vus merged into the Nebr: sociation by this decision PLACE FOR THE he question of location for the next re- union came up for discussion. Major Pear- 1 nominated Tecumseh. Comrade Aber- ¥ of Johnson county heartily favored “but for the bevefit of the Sccond Nebraska,” he desired to state that there was a scarcity of saloons at Te- cumseh, but the people of that town wouid give cach and all the old sol- diers of Nebraska a hearty welcome and the best entertainment at their com- mand. Major Pearman said that the y of saloons at Tecumsch was im- material. as the boys could carry their “can- teens” in their hip pocket: Major Paddock offered a substitute o the original motion to the effect that the selec- tion of the place for the next reunion be left to the discretion of the president and subjéct to his call.

Iach old soldier arose to his feet and heartily ap- plauded their old commander. Major Paddock of the committee of ar- rangements and Chris Hartman of the finance commuttee reported that the old soldiers of Omaha had generously con- tributed to the success of the reunion by re- sponses to arequest foran entertainment und. The association then considered the ques- tion of a better system of records and data of value to the historian. Major Pearman theu procceded to pour hot shot into the governors of Nebraska, past and present, for not appointing any of the old Nebraska soldiers as adj Nt gen- eral. He stated that gubernatorial recogni- tion of the association should be made. The sentiments were received with evident ap- proval. Adjournment was then taken until 1:30 o'clock.

His text was “Unwritten History,” and he availed himself of a great opportunity to dim the laurels of all war Historians.

THE OMAHA DA TROUBLE FORMAJOR PADDOCK Tonight He May Be No Longer a County Commiseioner, TALK OF REDUCING HIM TO THE RANKS Omaha Has or's 1 Claim that His Removal Left the Fourth Commissic trict Without a Legal Represent- atlve—Case ring, There's a heap of trouble on Major Pad- dock's mind now, all caused by the fact that ho is unable to figure out whether to- night he will be an oficial of Douglas county, or a private citizen. Zhe commissioner from Little Pappio district has eonsulted his oracle upon the subject, but what the result of the consulta- tion was+will not be made public until the major shows his hand, To say the least, ho is not feeling joyful, although he muking a desporato effort to' drown his sorrow by plunging into the festivities of the soldier's reunion, which 18 now 1n progress. Major Paddock has carved out bis own ines and if they fall in spots where some s predict, when the sun goes down tonight he will not bo the represent- ative of the voters of the Fourth commis- sioner district. One year ago last No W. Paddo the Fourth dis or Joseph iber from serve for the full term of three years. At that time he resided out on the banks of the wild and raging little Pappio, in. Douglas precinet. There he continued to live and till the soil by proxy, until a couple of onths ago, when he pulled up und moved nto town, taking up his abode in the house Will Annin, his son-in-law, at Twenty-first and Leaveuworth stre This was in the first commissioner distr he destinies of wh ooked after by M. Stenbere, the chairman of the board. Mr. Stepberg raised no protest to the change of residenco of the major, as he felt that the population of the city had been increased just that much, but there were some parties in South Omaha and in the country precinets of the Fourth district who objected to being lefi without a member to look after th ads, bridg d grades, They opined that a county commissiover had no right to pose as beingr from the agricul- tural districts when as a matter of fact he was a resident of the city. As time rolied along these complaints grew to be numerous and the matter was called to the attention of the appointive power, the county clerk, the county judge and the county treasurer, These gentlemen investi d and learned that the country home of Major Paddock had been abandoned and that he was a sure enough city gentle- man. With this information there was nothing left for them but to take steps to have the office declared vacant, that a successor might be appointed to 've out the unexpirea term. These offi- cials consulted with lawyers and were in- formed that if Paddock had removed from his district a vacancy existed and that it was their duty to name his successor., Not wanting to take any snap judgment upon the man from Douglas precinct, they decided to give him a heuring, and for that purpose they have subpoenead witnesses, avho will appear this afternoon and give testimony. The investigation will be conducted by County Attorney Kaley in behalf of the county and will be public.

MRS, M'GUCKIN'S STORY. The story told by the plaintiff in her peti- tion, which fs now on flle in the office of Clerk Moores, is to the effect that in Janu- ary, 1880, was a cook in the employ of Major Sfanton at Fort Omaha. At that time, though she was but ears of age, she was a wife, though she did not partic pate In_the luxury of enjoying marital r lations, simply for the reason that her hus- band was cruel and was according to her testimony, a brute in human forn. This husband was a nonres! his abode down in the state of where he worked and earncd was spent In having a good maintaining himself. During the time when the plaintiff was performing the lices of cook in the Kkitchen of Major Stanton, she avers that she met Daniel L. McGuekin, who was the owner of a saloon at the corner of Bleventh and Har- ney streets in this city. This meeting was agreeable enough and several others fo lowed in rapid succession. As time rolled along, she avers that Daniel requested her to throw up her cooking job and live with him as a wife. This offer or proposition she indignantly spurned, and then for the first time told Daniel that she was a married woman and that she had a husband living somewhere on the face of the earth. Not- withstanding the furnishing of this inform: tion, Daniel pressed his suit, intimating that if they could not live together as hus- band and wife, they could live together as friends, Spurning this proposition, like a similar_one which had been made upon a former ‘occasion, the woman, o she alloges, removed to Burt county, where for a time she resided with a brother at Oakland. MARRIED WITHOUT FORMALITY. After having been in the quiet of the lit- tle town for a few days, Daniel appeared upon the scene with a proposition to marry. This was looked upon with favor, and at once the plaintiff instituted aivorce pro- ceedings from her husband. The case was heard, and at the May term of the district court, in and for Burt county held in 1880, the decree was granted, leaving Anna to take her choice of wedding akain or living single. The next time that she met Daniel she told him that she ly to try matrimony once more. Wedding rings and wedding gowns were secured, and all ar- rangements made for the union of hearts and hands, but as the time for the event drew nigh, Danicl intimated that the per- formance of the ceremony was but a mat- ter of form and that it was not one of the necessities. Being ignorant of the ways of a wicked world, the plaintiff consented and was duly Installed as the housekeeper of Danfel L. McGuekin, continuing as such until the summer of 1892, when she was turned owt into the cold, Mot withstanding the fact that for twelve years she had been in- troduced and had been known to the world as “Mrs, McGuckin.” During the time that she n ing Je which and in New money time Don't t;e the Axel Just keep in mind that the grocer or the peddler has *“an axe to grind " when he tells you that he has some- 2 ] " thing “as good as” or ‘‘the ,'\ same as” Pearline. > There ,/\/\ can be but one reason v /fi w p Ifi-' more A 2 profit to him by your use of V the substitutes.

The Best Shoes for tho Least Mon was living with Daniel she alleges that there were born to her five children, all of which bearthe name of McGuckin, and of all of which Daniel is the father. Some time ago the plaintiff brought suit in the district court, asking that an order be Issued dec:eaing the living together as a mar- riage at law and that she be entitled to a share of the property, most of which she had assisted in accumulating. WHAT DANIEL REPLIED. To the petition McGuckin filed an answer admitting the living together, but dlenying all of the other material facts. In that con- dition the suit rested until yesterday, when the plaintiff filed her reply, in which she al- leges that she went to live with the de- fendant under a promise that he would make her his wife. These promises, she avers he continued to make until she learned that he was leading a double life, having anothe wife from whom he was not legally div The divorce, she alleges was afterwar cure d and they would have lived happily together, had the church of which Dan was a member not interfered and raised a row. To make this point cle: tho plaintiff avers that she s a Swede and a member of the Lut 1 church,while Daniel is an Irishman and a member of t Catholic church. Now, however, she dec that if the court will affirm the marriage she will allow Danlel to go his way and she will try to get along withont him. - NEW BBARD OF HEALTH.
