TO MEET NEXT YEAR AT GRAND ISLAND | Association Votes in Favor of Legisla- that Will Enable County de to Bulld Bridges by Day Labor. The wecond day's session of the State Association of County Commissioners and Bupervisors resulted in the selection of | Grand Island as the place of the meeting January 20, 1904, York contesting; in the indorsement of various legislative ures, pending or to'be submitted, and In a general discussion of questions frequently confronting commissioners and supervisors in the performance of their duties. The attenedance at this session was at least 150, exclusive of Douglas county commis- ploners and ex-commissioners. Most fmportant of the endorsements given Jegislative proposals at this morning's ses- #lon was that of the six bills introduced in the senate Tuesday by Sloan of Fillmore extending to four years the term of office of county clerks, now two years; county treasurers, now two years; county survey- ors, now two years; county commiasionera mow three years; county supervisors, now two years; county judges, now two years; county sheriffs, now two years; extension to be retroactive only one year. Change of Sentiment. Oounty Clerk Pilaster of Gage county spoke for the project, and though some of the convention delegates seemed in doubt a8 to the propriety of the proceeding, there was no dlesenting voice when Vice Presi- dent Thorpe put to a vote the resolution in- | structing the commissioners’ legislative committee to work with the legislative committees of other county officers’ organ- szations for the passage of the Sloan bills. Bearcely six weeks ago the commissioners, then at Beatrice, voted down a similar mo- tion in as little time as they endorsed this one. No one seems to know just how senti- ment has been so suddenly changed. Another resolution adopted was one pre- sented by Henry M. Kidder of Scribner, ealling upon the legislature to enact some law which shall compel railroad companies to provide, without discrimination, for ship- | pers of graln and stock, sites along their tracks for elevators and sheds, and to pro- vide also ample accommodations for ship- pers of live stock who are accompanying thelr shipments. With three negative votes, there was re- ferred to the legislative committee with the endorsement of the .convention a resolu- tion introduced by®John Adams of Adams county, pledging the assoclation’s effort to secure the enactment of the pending bill wetting apart one ward of the asylum for the insane at Lincoln for the reception, treatment and care of inebriates. Favors Day Labor Plan, The assoctation by vote concurred in the motion of the leglslative committee looking to legislation that will enable county s to have bridges bullt by day labor instead of by contract, if so preferred. O’Keefte of Douglas opposed this on the ground that it encourages a disposition to allow politics to enter too largely into manual service rendered a county—in other words, that it opens the way for commis- sloners to make votes by letting men of inexperience attempt work which they are not competent to do. In the afternoon, besides the question- box discussion, the association pledged it- self to two important measures. One, in- troduced by ex-Commissioner H. E. Ostrom ot Douglas, was for a special enactment empowering the boards of counties with more than 50,000 population to dispense with ward and precinct assessors, now em- ployed at $3 per day, with privilege of em- ploying as many deputies as they wish at the same wages, and for replasing this system with one which contemplates the employment of one assessor for the county at a salary of $2,500, he to be provided with such help as he has to have. Ostrom, in support of his measure, stated that it had cost Douglas county $18,000 to make its last assessment and that in one district the ©cost of the assessing had been equal to one- half the amount raised in that district by the 9-mill levy for the general fund. To Assess at Full Value. Along the same line there was appointed & committee, comprising G. W. Welton of Lancaster county, J. P. Falter of Ca county and Louis Held of Platte county, to undertake mandamus proceedings against the assessors of any county who shall fall to assess at fair cash value, and to man- damus also the State Board of Equaliza- tion In the same event, action in both cases conditioned on the failure of the pres- ent legislature to enact such laws as will make any dereliction of duty impossible. ‘This same committee i to prompt the le islature to remove the present law com- velling an assessment ‘of at least 1 mill for the State university. The commissioners state that if assessment be made at fair cash value a 1 mill levy will produce a fund much larger than the university re- qufres. There was endorsed by the essociation a recommendation that the weed-cutting law be changed to make the cutting season be- &in July 15 instead of August ‘15, The old legislative committee was re- talned. COAL FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Arrangements Made Whereby Will Not Be Permitied to Run Out. poly Tho committee on supplies of the Board of Education has held a meeting and per- fected arrangements with C. B. Havens & Co. whereby it is practically assured that the schools will not at any time be per- mitted to run out of coal. The arrange- ment s that the fuel firm is still obligated under its contract with the board to turnish Cherokee coal to run the schools if it can be obtained in this market at any prige. In case the Cherokee coal canmot be ob- tained, the firm will be gllowed to substi- tute & mere expensive grade of coal from meas- | Tilinots at $6.50 per ton. This Tilinols coal the officers of the fuel company say 18 now selling in this market at $6.76 a ton. The contract price of the Cherokee coal fs $3.84, and therefore the difference to the Board of Bducation will be $1.66 per ton for such quantities of the Iflinois coal as I{ may be necessary to use.

Yesterday forenoon about 10 a prisoner informed Deputy McCleneghan that Ziedietz was | behaving badly and the deputy upon going to the latter's cell found it strapped shut with a bunk strap and Zelditz crylng. With difficulty the door was opened and | the deputy entered.

The jall force could not account for the wounde until the prisoner suddenly | writhed about, and, reaching backward, | butted his head flercely against the walls. It was concluded then that he had been | doing the same thing in his steel cage and | 80 gashed his head. | + After being moved away from the wall he | | tried to tip his chair over backward and required a constant watching to prevent his | gouging his flesh with his nails. Evidently he will require a padded cell to prevent his self-destruction and steps were taken at | once to have him removed to the county | hospltal. | It was suggested that he is felgning in- | sanity to escape punishment for shooting Mrs. Becksel, but the jall force scouts the 1dea of the case heing anything but genuine. | a New Thirteen-Cent Stamp, A new stamp containing the portrait of | one of our late presidents is about to be | 1ssued by the government.

Al Sigwart’s Record. As shown by the record, Al Sigwart was appointed patrolman July 28, 1887, promoted to fourth sergeant February 6, 1588; to third sergeant October 13 of the same year, to | second sergeant April 27 and to first ser- geant September 27, 1889. He was removed July 3, 1895, but reappointed captain August 15 of the same year and October 7 following was made chief of police. His resignation was accepted August b, 1897, to take effect September 1 and he was granted twenty days leave, with pay to date from August 10, which just carrled him to the close of his term of service. There is no hiatus here, for he was on August 30 appointed special officer, with the pay of captain, com- mencing September 1 and continuing until further orders of the board. His name wa: | dropped from the rolls September 26, 1898, and by order of court was reinstated Jan- uary 27. The record closes with a notation of his resignation February 20, 1899, to take effect January 23 of that year. The maxi- mum age limit for appointment to the po- {ice department as fixed by the rules of the board is 40 years, and in the application from Sigwart recently filed it 1s shown that he is 45 years of age. As to L. F. Dwyer's former service in the police department the record shows that he was appointed patrolman June 30,, 1899. Charges of “Intoxication and making arrests without just cause” are mnoted against him July 16, 1900, which charges were found to be true and he was suspended for thirty days, dating from July 23. Then on September 14, 1901, he pleaded guilty to charges of neglect of duty and was fined four days pay. Agaln March 19, 1902, he was under investigation on charges that he had been asleep while on duty and in- toxicated. He was found guiity and dis- missed from the service March 10, 1902. Over the Age Limit. Josiah Thomas, the record says, was ap- pointed patrolman June 25, 1894, and dls- charged for lack of funds September 29, 1897. He was reinstated March 5, 1898, to date from March 1. Charges were flled against him May 21, 1900, to the effect that he had been asleep while on duty and on May 28 those charges were sustained and he was dismissed. Thomas' present application shows his age to be 46 years and for that reason and others Health Commissioner Ralph, who made the physi- cal examination, has declined to recom- mend him. There are but two entries in the record ot John H. Cueick. The first states that he was appointed patrolman August 12, 1895, and the other that he was ‘‘removed, dismissed,” September 17, 1895. Cusick re- vorted at the office of the clerk of the beard Tuesday to complete the requirements at- tendant upon his appointment, and at that time was so apparently intoxicated that he was told to come back at another time. He went to the office of Health Commissioner Ralph also and Dr. Ralph refused to ex- amine him because of his condition. George W. Barnes' record shows that he was appointed patrolman June 26, 1894, and removed from the department July 8, 1895. He was reappointed September 17, 1895. On July 20, 1896, charges of unbecoming con- duct were preferred against him, but were declared not sustained. But on November 1, 1897, he was charged with conduct unbe- coming an officer in having been ‘‘present |at a dance hall and saloon at 2:50 a. m. Sunday, where liguors were sold in viola- | tion of law and not reporting the sam | and the charges were sustained and he suspended thirty days without pay. Again on January 4, 1899, charges of unbecoming conduct were filed against him and he was | found guilty January 9 and suspended for thirty days without pay. He was dismissed from the department for lack of funds Feb- ruary 28, 1899, Charged With Neglect of Duty. By the record Fred C. Moore is shown | to have been appointed patrolman April 14, 1898, on ninety days probation, and on Au- gust § this probationary period was ex- tended sixty days longer. Charges of “‘neg- lect of duty, leaving beat, etc.” are noted September b, 1898, but the officer was ac- quitted Scptember 12, 1898. Neglect of duty, however, brought about Moore's fin- ish, for he was dismissed October 3, 1898, | on such charges filed September 29. Peter H. Dillon, as the record states, was An accusation that he had “sat down while on duty,” filed September 22, was dismissed. He was accused January of having | been asleep while on duty and was ordered reprimanded. He was discharged from the department February 28, 1899, for lack of funds. In his new application Dillon's age is glven as 46 years. The recorded history of M. F. Hotchkis: former connection with the police depart- ment shows that he was appointed patrol- man April 30, 1894. Ho was reported Jan- for being late at roll call and fined s pay. He was dismissed February for lack of funds. Hotchkiss is shown by his present application to be 45 years of age, and Health Commissioner Ralph has refused to recommend him for service because he has found him to be ruptured ity Stat births tes.

The Omaha Real Estate exchange at its regular meeting in the Commercial club | rooms yesterday went on record as favoring the Howell bill providing for the purchase of the water works.

Another resolution was also adopted which fnstructed the tax committee of the | exchange to confer with the school board | and its finance committee with a view to | securing a levy not exceeding two mills, which levy, the resolution said, would produce $22,000 more than was raised by | taxation last year, while. there will also | be & slight increase in the other revenues | of the board. The committes of the exchange which has just returned from a visit to Lincoln, where it went to investigate the question of city taxes as compared with county | taxes on railroads, made individual talks on that subject. The prospect of securing legislation favorable to the city in the matter they declared, could only be done by extremely hard work in order to over- | come the lobby influences exerted by the railroads.
