THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1895, REPORT OF COUNTY CLERK Falling Off of Twenty Per Oent in the Business of the Office, CREDIT OF THE COUNTY MAINTAINER What the Footing of the Books Shows—Dis- bursements for Charity Have Largely Incrensed- Influence of General Business Depression. Notwithstanding the fact that on account of the general business depression collections have been slow and taxes a burden in Doug- las county, yet, says Clerk Sackett in his an- nual report, the county has maintained its eredit, though there has been a falling off of 20 per cent in the business of the office, and has been able to promptly megt all obli- gations save in the last two months. It has recontly been impossible to redeem all war- rants on the general fund when presented This I8 due to a falling off in the receipt of | taxes and the unusually small amount of property sold at tax sale in November. Upon Janu: 1, 1894, unpaid claims to the amount of $18,480.61 were on file and pending adjustment Since that date and up to Janu- ary 1, 1895, there ha been filed claims to the amount of $434,933.67. Of the sum total of these claims $7,371.40 were rejected $401,649.71 allowed, and $25,9 6 are still in the hands of the board of commissioners awaliting adjustment, Expenditures for the y eral fund, $2 bridge fund, $60,870,96; soldier: provement, $8! $2,000; insane, $410.35. bonded debt of Dougias county at the close of the year 1804 was as follow: in- cluding the late issue of refunding bonds, which were, however, not delivered to the purchasers until January 15, 1895, although fssued and registered prior to January 1: July 1, 1861, and due i 1804 were: Gen- fund, sinking fund, road im- Judgment, The v issued July 1, 3 Four and . haif per funding bonds, fssucd uary 1, 189, and du 1, 15 and_one improve and Issued luo July 1, 160,000 00 Total Aebl.severesieresnen 695,006 00 The total annual Interest charge upon this debt is $33,405. Durlng the iast year the annual interest charge of the county was reduced $1,785 by the refunding of the unretired portion of the issue of 1881, being $119,000 of 6 per cent bonds, into 4% per cent bonds, which were sold at a premium of $580, thereby effecting a saving to the county in the remaining six years which these bonds had to run of $11,299. Considerable space s devoted by Mr. Sackstt to the subject of charity extended by the county. The business of this de- partment, he says, has grown to such alarming proportions during the past two years that it has come to be one of the most serious problems with which the Board of County Commissicners is confronted. Such authority as has been conferred upon public officials to act in this behalf has been prompted by a pure spirit of humanity, and is acqulesced in by the taxpayer in the same spirit, yet It requires the utmost vigilance upon the part of those charged with the duty of dispensing charity to avold imposition and fraud In_the beneficiaries of this public bounty. The method adopted in this county in dispensing ald is such that it lacks many of the inducements to defraud the county which attend the giving of money or its equivalent in orders, which are practically negotiable paper, but even with all the care exercised it is impossible to avoid an occa- slonal impostor. Of the 1,680 applicants for aid in the last six months, 1,252 were males, and 1,121 of the whole number were married; widows numbered 260, and 829 were Americans. The cause of distress In 1,432 instances was in- ability to obtain employment. During the semi-annual period covered by this report there has been distributed sup- plies as follows: Flour, 186,800; sugar, 28,384; coffee, 9,945; tea, 855; beans, 26,780; rice, 10,815; hominy, 3,950;- oat meal, 8,343; corn meal, 11,250; salt pork, 31,605 pounds; soap, 13,382 bars; table salt, 387 sacks, and coal, 2,860,655 pounds. The total expense of maintaining the de- partment of outdoor relief during the past six months has been §14,836.10. But in the application of the labor test the county has recelved employment, valued at Its cost price, to tha amount of $4,302.70, thereby reducing the cost of operating this depart- ment to $10,533.40, being an average of $6.59 to cach applicant who has been furnished assistance, and considering the increased stringney of the times this is a very satis- factory result, and shows a slight decrease in the cost of this department from that of 1893, which was $14.89 per applicant for twelve months. While the sum total of expenditures in 1804 {s greater than in 1893, yet a comparison with that year makes a very favorable show- ing; the most noticeable items are groceries for the poor farm, showing a decrease of $1,960.74, while the total cost at the poor farm is decreased $3,906.79, and at the jail $1,360.24. The court house shows a decrease In expens3 of $4,705.22, while the amount paid to overseers of highways is $5,055.05 less in 1894 than in 1893, and $5,748.14 less has been invested in grading this year than last. e Dr. B. 8.

Theodore Hewes of Trenton, Mo, a gentle- man well versed in poultry ' sclence, is on hand to judge the merits of the fowls, which is sufficlent guaranty that the work will be | well and impartially done. The premium list is a large one, there boing in the nelghborhood of 2,000 special | premiums offered, including a large number of cash prizes. Besides these 'there are numerous prizes donated by Omaha business men, as well as by chicken fanciers from abroad.

Application has been made in the district court for the appointment of a guardian for Edward, James, Mary and Catherine Riley, who are the heirs of Bernard Riley. Fore- closure proceedings against the property of the deceased are pending and a guardian is asked for to protect the interests of the heirs. Benedict Riesterer has petitioned for the removal of his suit against the Union Pa- cific from the district to the circuit court. The suit is for $25,000 for damages recelved by the plaint!ff while in the employ of the road, and was commenced on August 27, 1893, several months before the Union Pa- cific went into the hands of the recelvers. The defendants named are the receivers of the road. The answer to the application al- leges that the recelvers are not now and were not at the time of the commencement of the suit residents of the state, and on these grounds asks that the action be dismissed, ' Caroline Specht has commenced suit in the county court against John H. Erck for $060.85 damages. Caroline is the owner of the property known as the Western Cornice works, and claims that George B. Specht, at the instance of the defendant, applied for and obtained a writ of attachment, alleging that he was interested to the extent of $1,950. The case was carried to the su- preme court, where the attachment was dis- sclved, but as the result of the action Caro- line claims that she has suffered damages to the amount asked for. e e A New Train to St. Louls.

The county commissioners have begun ap- plying the labor test to the males applying for assistance. There are at present nearly 100 men at work on Thirteenth street, south of Mis- sourl avenue. They are grading down a por- tion of the street with shovels. The dirt is used in filling up gulleys further north and is being hauled a considerable distance. About twenty-five teams have been employed. The laborers are pald at the rate of 15 cents an hour, payment being made from the county store. The commissioners say that as the articles are furnished at the cost price the men are obtaining very respectable wages. The teamsters are paid tn cash, It is proposed to give each man a week's work each month. The men who are work- ing this week will again begin work one month from now and others will take their places during the intervening three weeks. By thus giving work to 100 different men each week in a month it Is thought that all the men who are now applicants will be able to earn enough to support themselves and their families for a month. The object in grading the street is not so much to do the work as to weed out from among the applicants those ihat do not need assistance, and those who are not willing to work for the assistance that is wiven them. This object is being acconplished to a de- gree, but the number of those dropping out is fully made up by the number of new ap- plicants. The majority of the latter are persons who have never applied to the county before. They are without money, and as it is impossible for them to obtain work they are compelled to accept charity. The commissioners say that there is a larger number of really needy persons among the applicants this year than at any time since they have been in office. In addition there aro an unusually large number of cases re- ported of people who do mot wish, and will not apply to the county, although they are in destitute circumstances. Such cases are investigated and assistance is given. The committee that has this charity work in charge is preparing a new system in the buying of provisions. _Heretofore it has been the custom of the committee to purchase the articles wherever they could be bought the cheapest and whenever they were needed. As a result of this method, however, there have been charges that the committee favored certain firms, and the system of purchasing will be changed. It is proposed to receive proposals and samples at the beginning of each week for the provisions needed for the week. Every firm that desires can state its prices and show Its goods, and the best quality of the goods at the lowest prices will be accepted, thus doing away with all_charges of favoritism. On account of the mild weather the amount of coal given has not been as great as was expected, put the amount of provisions is large. The following statement of what was glven on Tuesday of last week is appended as an example: One thousand five hundred pounds of flour, 248 pounds of sugar, 88 pounds of coffee, 15% pounds of tea, 280 pounds of beans, 114 pounds of rice, 55 pounds of hominy, 160 pounds of oatmeal, 80 pounds of cornmeal, 330 pounds of bacon, 115 bars of soap, 13 pounds of salt, 11% tons of coal. The amount of the articles for that day are smaller than those usually given. The amount given each person is,_of course, com- paratively small, just sufficient to keep the wolf from the door. —— Dr. Anderson of the University of Cali- fornia reports Dr. Price’s Baking Powder absolutely pure, Aftera Doad Man's Shoes. The matter of filling the position on the Board of County Commissioners left vacant by the death of Major Paddock is already agitating the minds of those who desire to become his successor.

Six OMcers Retwrn Thelr Commissions to + the War Department. Six army officers have declined brevet ranks conferred upon them during the year 1894 for gallantry tn Indlan engagements, The list of brevets conferred is materially lengthened by the conferrence of these honorary titles. The War department had considerable difficulty In selecting officers who were entitled to the distinction, and a amount of of correspondence was en- ailed Detween the department and officers Many of the oft rs wished to amend the terms in which thelr services were desig- nated, some of them, for _Instance, in- sisted on having the fact mentioned that their horses were shot under them, a fact which was not considered pertinent in the description which must be limited to the effect of the engagement on the office himselt and to his bearing duting the con- flict It Is unusual to have an officer a brevet commission, which carries noth- Ing with it but the honor of being men- tioned for gallantry and courage.

Pitcher Carish, who was with the Jackson- ville club last season, was signed by the Omaha management yesterday for the season of 11895, Carlsh is a good man, as is attested by the fact that he stood second on the list of all the Western association pitchers last year. He has good curves, an especially deceptive drop ball and worlds of speed. Local cranks may recall him by the fact he won the only game from Omaha in the local grounds Jacksonville took during the entire season. It was on August 14, the Jax taking the game by 11 to 4, Omaha securing but six scattered hits off of young Carish. — Hayden Bros'. ad. is on page 5. et NOTES OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The operators became frightened, as they left their job In an un- completed condition, although they had only to open another door of the safe and a fortune lay awaiting them. The burglars were evidently old hands at the business ;m‘ll were well provided with tools to do the job. The back end of the store is protetted by heavy iron shutters, fastened securely to the brick work with long bolts. A section of the wall was removed and one corner of the Iron shutter was pried open, leaving a hole large enough to admit a man. Then they went to the heavy safe, standing in the front part of the store, and partially concealed by the showcase and a glass frame . A hole was bored into the safe doors near the cembination, after which a punch was driven into the lock, smashing the tumblers. It was then an easy matter to open the heavy outer doors. An attempt was made to drill through the second set of doors and the thieves were partially successful in this, A steel punch was driven into the keyhole of theee doors, but it broke oft and then the burglars balked themselves, as they could not have proceeded farther without the u of dynamite, The back door was found to be unlocked when the proprietor of the place came down to attend to business yesterday. Grease and fron filings were scattered around in front of the safe and the burglars must have been afraid of soiling their trousers, as a chair cushion had been placed in a position for the cracksmen to kneel on while at work. The showcases were pried oren and four revolvers were taken. Se:eral trays of cheap jewelry were not teuched. It is said that there were several tnousand dollars’ worth of diamonds, watches and money in the safe, and if the burglars could have succeeded in opening the inside doors they would have made a rich haul. The police were notified, but have no clew as to the identity of the robbers. ——— Hayden Bros'. ad. is on page 5. -— Gets a Long Ride Free. Rev. P. 8.
