APPLICATION WITH A PURPOSE Beoret of Mary Allan Book's Library Aspirations, PREFERRED SERIOUS CHARGES ARE Persistent Efforts of the Librarian of the Omaha Public Library and Sister to Secure Dismissal of the Assistant Librarian, At the meeting of the board of directors ot the Omaha Public Library last Saturday an application was recelved from Mrs. Mary Allan Bock for the position of assistant librarian. The application was endorsed by the librarian, Jessie Allan, a sister of Mrs, Bock, and supported by a long petition glgned by prominent business men and bankers. This fact would not merit more than a mere mentfon were it not that there 15 behind it a long and Interesting story. The application of Mrs, Bock reads as fol- lows: OMAHA, Sept 1895.—~To the Honorable Bo of Directors of the Omaha Library: The election of a new lib will undoubtedly cau<e a charg: in the other offices. Please consides me an applicant for the position of assistant libraria 2 MARY ALLA BOCK. hat's anticipating a little, isn't 1t?" re- marked one of the members of the board, as the document was read. There may perhaps be no doubt in the minds of Jessie Allan and Mary Allan Bock as to an early change in the assistant librarianship of the Omaha Public Library but if so, it is be- cause they have spared no pains to bring about the change so much degired by them. At Its April meeting the board adopted a resolution expressing thanks to all the members of the library force for their con- sclentious work during the five months' ab- sence of the librarian. WHERE IT BEGAN. At the May meeting the board was startled to find that the regular monthly report of the librarian concluded as follows: During my absence the Work b fngly gone on in a I understand officia to this effect. I cannot in Tibrary let resolution without a_ protest. 1 3 d evidence either to_or an utter in; for understanding the instructions sent by me to the assistant in charge. ting, a8 after thre her It wag necessar; haye the work No att veral w before my return. mpos: for me to revis all the bills, but in those examined errors have been discovered By presenting duplicate p; as to lost time and my disc tioned, This rule has be 1863, and is known by e brary. or years T have done a large part of her work over again, and there as alwa; been a feeling of insecurity. Now the rious state of my health makes a competent more than ever an absolute n sel in justice to myself, tha library and . sor, 1 formally make this charge of incompetency SIE ALLAN. The board would not at first regard these charges as seriously made, in view of the pr carious state of Miss Allan’s health. The members asserted that she was not responsi- ble for this part of her report and declined to take any formal action upon the matte It was suggested a month later that, in much as the charges were of a most formal nature, it was at least due to the assistant librarian, Miss O'Brien, that they be sub- stantiated or disproved. At that time, how- ever, it was doubtful whether Miss Allan would be physically able to attend a formal hearing, and it was decided best to drop the matter altogether. WANT IT IN THE FAMILY. The different members of the Allan family ap-arently did not take the same view. The regular monthly report received at the meet- ing last Saturday contained the request on the part of the librarien that Miss O'Brien be dismissed and that her sister, Mrs. Mary Allan Bock, be employed as assistant libra- rian. It went still further in reasserting the charges previously made and in making the tollowing demand: 1 make the formal re my. report for the g0 on record It has b v rolls my rule I e ques n absolute sine ry one in the li- uest that so much of h of May as deals ‘with the assistant jan be placed on the eord. T understand that it is said that the complaint was not specific. It can easily be made 0. At the same mesting a letter was read addrossed to tho president of the board and igned by Mrs. Elizabeth Allan, mother of both Jessie Allan and Mrs. Bock, asserting that the serious condition of her daughter's health was largely brought about by her con- finement in the public library and the lack of a “reliable and competent assistant,” and saying further that she was sure that her daughter's health would be largely benefited if Rer sister, Mrs. Bock, were appointed her successor. At any rate, she pleaded, it was no more than fair, if that were not done, that Miss Allan should be continued as libra- rian and be given an assistant with capacity for something more than “Irish wit and re- partee."” It {8 supposed that when the charges of incompetency were originally made the last of May the Allan family expected the board to take immediate action in the matter, and to depose Miss O'Brien and to instate Mrs. Bock in her place. Mrs. Bock would then be in live to succeed her sister as librarian and the_hold which the family has had upon that position ever since It was created would be tnbroken. y FROM SISTER TO SISTER. story of the connection the Allan family with the library dates from its very be- gluning. The library was organized under the law as a public library in August, 1877, and Jennfe M. Allan was made librarian with a salary of $25 per month. Her salary was Increased in January, 1878, to per month and in January, 1879, to $45 per month. In January, 1880, Jennie M. Allan, who had become Jennle M. Johnson, resigned and was succeeded by her sister, Mary P. Allan, at the same salary of $45 per month. This salary was increased in February, 1881, to $65 per month, in March, 1884, to $65 per month and in August, 1884, to $53.33% per month, Mary P. Allan resigned the libra- rlanship fn May, 1886, to become Mrs. Ma Allan Bock. She was succeeded by her sist Jessie Allan Jessie Allan brary as an ber, 1881, at per month. six months in 1883 she had been a brarjan during her sister's absence a rlan's full salary of $55 per month. When she made wa n for her sistor she was Taiged to $45 per month In March, 1884, and $66 per month in October, 1885, When she was_elected librarian the salary was fixed at $75 per month, but before she drew her warrant for her first month’s services it was increased to the point at which her sister's salary left off, namely, $83.333% per month, Her salary was increased September 1, 1888, to $100 per month; July 1, 1859, to $125 per month; July 1, 1890, to $155 per month; July 1, 1891, to $145 and July 1, 1892, to $150 per month. In the interval a fourth sister had entered the library, June, 1887, as an assistant, at the regular assistant’s salary of $25 per month, increasing gradually under the sliding scale in force until i reached $60 per month. Toward the close of last year the librarian endorsed an application of Blanche Allan for Increase of salary to $60 per month, but on account of the straitened condition of the Mbrary funds the board did not regard the application with favor, Since 1893 the librarian, Jessle Allan, has been, by reason of il health, unable to per- form the duties of her office, She wag given a leave of absence from November, 1893, to August, 1894, during which tims ‘she con- tinued to draw full pay at the rate of $150 por month. Her place was supplied tem- porarily, under a private arrangement, by her sister, Mrs. Mary Allan Bock, who, it fs sald, divided the salary with her. On No- vember. 24, 1864, a request was made for an- other leave of absence, and the library board passed the following resolution: Resolved, That Miss Jes:le Allan be & vacation of four months from De 1, 1891, with full pay nd that the librarlan, Miss O'Firien, take cha ) 1ibrary and fullll the dutios of librarian dur- ing Miss Allan's absence. Shortly before the period covered by this resolution had expired represcntation was made to the board that it would jeopardize Miss Allan's health to return as early April, and on March 22 last a resolution was gxteoding the leave of absence to The of public had entered the tant in Ded - m- For g li- ibra- iven May 1, but without pay. On her return, how- ever, she inserted her name fn the Apr pay roll for $60 for ten days’ pay. On Inquiry it was learned that she had not been able to get away under the resolution granting her four months' leave of absence from Decem- ber 1 until December 10. Although pald full salary for December, she Insisted on addi- tional pay for those ten days, and persuaded a majority of the members of the board to vote it to her. On July 1 Miss Allan was granted another leave of absence for ten days with full pay in order to go to St. Louis to take treat- ment for her health, and since that time she has been unable to be at the library more than thres or four times. The charges which she preferred against Miss O'Brien referred almost wholly to the period during which she was absent. During this time Miss O'Brien performed the work attached to her superior's office, while Miss Allan drew full pay and Miss O'Brien received no extra compensation. During this time, too, the assistant librarlan was, by rese! tions of the board, in full charge of the library, yet the absent librarian continued to send in orders and injunctions, most of which were promptly executed. It is not probable that Miss Allan will ever be called upon to substantiate the allegations made in her report. Miss O'Brien declares that while she may have made mistakes, her conduct is op:n to the fullest investigation sh has not demanded a hearing only because she thinks Miss Allan is not | responsible for the preferring of the charges against her.

First Visited Mississippi in 1540, It seems strange that many people In this live and progressive age have but just dis- covered for themselves what the old French cavalier, De Soto, and his adventurous com- panions found for the world over three cen- turies ago. The gently rolling lands, the clear and sparkling waters, the green and shady lanes, and the rich and generous soil of the Orchard Homes regions are just as wonderful, just as entrancing, just as life-giving, and just as productive today as they were in that remote and legendary time. The last party of Orchard Homes seekers upon thelr return from that delightful spot were as enthusiastic and strong in the faith as to its solid merits as the most enthusiastic discoverer of a new world could be in an- nouncing the news of his discovery. The man who is sure that each year his labor will pay him a sure, quick and large money return sees that Orchard Homes com- bines all the qualities for home, health and prosperity that he is secking for. Here the fruits of the earth in never failing abun- dance are produced, gathered and sold year in and year out and no hot winds, no long drouths frighten the husbandman in the sum- mer season, and no long cold winters and flerce blizzards threaten his very existence in the winter time. Come and for yourselt see what Orchard Homes s, what advantages it has in soil, climate, railroads, freight service, and cash buyers for all you can raise. ~See or address Geo. W. Ames, Gen.
