NO. 4. 1 DISEASE SPREADING HORSE MALADY GOES TO NORTH PART OF STATE. LINCOLN MONUMENTAGGEPTED Statue Cost, All Told, $36,000, All of Which Hat Been Paid Out . About $2,GC0. Dr. BroBtroin. Btato veteilnaiian, reports tho horso disease spreading to tho north part of tho statu. Ho 1b of the opinion that it is a, bacterial disease. Ho says thero is no doubt that tho brain and spinal cord of horses aro highly Inflamed and he pronounces it spinal meningitis though this condition can bo pro duced by at least three causes. The government theory that it is a fungus poison in tho pasturage or hay or grain, is not accepted by Dr. Bro Btroin. He admits that the germ may be found in grass or hay, but that does not prove it to bo a fungus poi son. Tho Government's theory that th poison comos from a fungus growth in pasture and its growth Is fostered In damp places is not borne out by tho fact that the disease ap pears In both damp, low ground along the Missouri river and vJso in the dty sand hill region where grass is too ehort! -and "the weather has been too dry to promote such growth. Dr. Davison and his assistants of the government servico are still in vestigating in Nebraska and have assigned to new stations. One went to Shelton, Elm Creek and Lexington, another to York, Thayer, Bradshaw and other towns in York county. An other went to Fremont and Dodgo county towns and another has been sent to Beaver City, Wllsonvllle, Red Cloud and Superior. Accepts Lincoln Monument.

WILL COMBAT CLAIM. Attcrnsy General 8ry The Stato Owes Nothing. DoputyAttorney General George W. Ayres is prepared to go Into the su preme court at the next Besslon to combat the claim of Sam Patterson of Arapahoe, who sued the state for $G,000 salary alleged to bo duo him because Governor Shallenberger ap pointed him secretary of the stato banking board when the former was in office. Because the new banking law was suspended by tho circuit court of the United States Mr. Pat terson did not get to serve. In the district court of Lancastor county the state won, and tho suit has been appealed by Patterson to tho supreme court. Basing its argument on the admitted facts in the case the state contends: First. That Edward Royse was either tho de facto or the do jure sec retary of the state banking board during all the time for which tho plaintiff claims tho emoluments of that office. Second. That having paid him the salary of such office, the state is not compelled to pay same a second time to another. Third. That irrespective of the pay ment of the- salary of said ofllco to said Itoyse, tlie plaintiff, in view of the peculiar wording of his appoint ment and In view of the fact that he performed none of the dutleB of tho office, is not entitled to recover com pensation therefor. Deputy Attorney General Ayres Bays In 'his brief. "It will be remembered that plain tiff's commission from the governor to hold tho office of secretary of tho state banking board names no specific date at which his term of office shall commenco nor how long it shall con tinue. It merely states that he is nppolntod to said office for the term beginning from and after taking ef fect of said act 1909 for such time as he shall satisfactorily pert -m all the duties imposed upon such officer by law, not to exceed, however, a pe riod of two years. "Inasmuch as the law to which ref erence is made In tho plaintiff's cer tificate of appointment aever became effective, so far as the carrying out of its provisions was concerned, until long after tho plaintiff had withdrawn his bond and virtually abandoned all claim to the office, and inasmuch as he never, even for an instant, per formed any of the duties' of said of fice, it is clear that ho is not enti Uftd' ,n any cront t(J recovcr a salarJ. as such officer. To hold otherwise would be to hold that the law took effect at a time when all the officers charged with its oxocution were en joined by a -court of competent Juris, diction from enforcing any of Its pro visions and that tho plaintiff was per forming all the duties of said office in a satisfactory manner when In truth and in fact ho was not perform ing or even attempting to perform any of them, being enjoined there from by the order of a court of com petent jurisdiction. Employes' Company Appeals. The National Employes' association has appealed to tho supremo court from the district court of Lancastor county. Tho association insures Its policyholders against loss of work. As this does not come under the regular I insurance law, tho auditor donlod them a license to do business In this state. The lower court sustained the act of the auditor. Believes Worms the Cause. Worms in last year's corn crop are believed by one Lincoln man who owns a large number of valuable horses to bo the cause of the dlBeaso which is carrying away so many horses in the state. He has spent more than a hundred dollars during thovpast year In having his corn care fully Bitted and the ends of all tho cars cut off before feeding the corn to his horses. August Weather. August, according to the report of tho weather bureau, was a cool and wet month. The mean temperature was a trifle over 71 degrees and al most a whole degree less than tho average acquired In the thirty-seven years that records have boon kopt. In tho southeastern poitiuu of the slute the mean temperature rose abovo tho normal, but this was otfsct in tho western part of the stato, where tho average was two and three degrees lower than the thirty-seven-year aver age. Tho warmest porlod of the month was tho last nine days, when In soveral parte of the state tho mer cury mounted to tho 100-degree mark. Asks Release of Property. A motion to have the United States marshal release property belonging to Campbell Bros.' circus on the ground that It Is atlll in the hands of tho state courts was filed before Judge T. C. Munger. Sevoral days ago an action was brought by a llth. ograplilng company of Kansas City to collect a bill for $9,000 from the cir cus. State University Filling Up. If the registration of students the first day at the Stato university Is any Indication of what tho attendance will be this year, tho record will be broken by a considerable margin. Tho first day's regiatratlon this year shows tho healthy number of soventy two, while last year tho first day only 290 registered. This year there are only four days for registration pur poses, v.hllo last year llvo dayH wera given to tho work, Mhlch may pos sibly account for tho rush on at this time. rwR If J 2 SUMMER V fine at Js'iUst-" BLAST TRIAL NEAR HEARING OF FIFTY-ONE INDICTED MEN SOON TO TAKE PLACE AT INDIANAPOLIS.

I Tho letters, nearly 200 of which are In the possession of tho govern ment, are alleged to bo from or about all the men Indicted, and tho govern ment asserts it Is able' to trace prac- ( tlcally every Job of dynamiting to I an immediate or remote connection with them. In this connection the evidence of Ortle McManlgal will be very Important, for it Is said it will show that he received instructions In harmony with tho letters, and that ho carried out these instructions to tho letter nnd received pay for them.

LYONS BODY RECOVERED Graphic Story Related by Dr. Melcher, Who Brought Corpse Out of the Confederate Lines. 'Samuel H. Melcher, who now Uvea nt 2327 West JaokBon boulovard, Chi cago, obtained the body of Gen. Lyon from Gon. Prlco after tho battlo of Wilson's Creek nnd carried it into the Union lines, accompanied by a volun teer escort of confederato soldiors. In hlB capacity of army surgeon Dr. Mel cher was Immune from capture and imprisonment by tho enemy and made his way without troublo to Gen. Price' headquarters, assisted by a friendly colonel. He can speak authoritative ly on tho much discussed subject of Gen. Lyon's garb at tho time of the battlo nnd states that tho gonoral wai dressed In military uniform. Tho otory of tho recovery of tho body Is told in Dr. Melchor's own words as follows: "When Col. Steel's reserve, which had retreated on the Wire road south, halted at the Thompson farm Bomo of the men brought to mo Gen. Rains' di vision surgeon, Smith, who had been captured while coming with help for the wounded. I had him Immediately released and wo started back on tho Wlro road In tho direction tho fighting- had taken place to look for wounded. Dr. Smith took the lead through the timber and proceeded In a northwest erly direction until wo ronched a large confedorato emergency hospital, close by a big spring. "Receiving Information that most of tho wounded of tho last part of the battlo woro being attended to near the creek, wo sot out in that direction and woro soon In tho road crossing over Bloody hill. Tho position or the dead on both Bides of our path showed how turrlblc tho struggle had been. On each sldo of tho road wero dead boI dlors, the gray on ono sldo and the bluo on the other. After going a short tlmo wo started to count and, as we did not wish to go back, wo estimated that thero wero 300 or 400 on both sldos of the path. "Upon dismounting at tho hospital tho first and only person that I recog nized was the long' hatred Col. -Em-4 met McDonald, n young lawyor of St. Louts, ono of tho most outspoken se cessionists. When he was taken at the capture of Camp Jackson in St. Louis no abHolutily refused to be pa roled and waB accordingly brought to the arsenal and hold n prisoner. "As I had occasion several times each day to pass tho tont whero Mc Donald was held, I saw him standing In front of the entrance dressed in a Bort of Fronch cavalry unlfdrm. with his arms folded, his eyes glistening, hio swarthy countenance seeming to threaten vengeanco if ho should over be free again, I had never met him and had no ill will, whatever opinion ho might have, and so, as I passed, I simply touched my cap, and to my surprise ho seomed each time to sof ten a llttlo and touched his In return. "So, when I saw him step quickly toward mo aa I entered tho confed erate camp after the battle of Wil son's Creek, and warmly take me by tho hand, I was somewhat surprised. After talking a moment in regard to the wounded he informed me that Gen. Lyon was killed. Instantly I said: 'Can I have his body?' He at onco Bald: 'Come with me and I'll seo. Ho went with me directly to Gen. Price's headquarters and, as he had nover known my name, he said: 'Thla is Gen. Lyon'a surgeon, Ho wishes tho body. I want you .to glvo it to him. Ho Is tho only officer who treated me decently In tho arsenal.' "Gen. Prlco, who was dressed ns an ordinary citizen, with no insignia of rank except a black leather belt in which was a small Colt's revolver, hold out his hand In a fatherly man ner and we clasped hands. Turning to Gon. Rains, ho askod If ho knew whero the body wrh. Replying In the nfllrmntlvo, Gon. Rains was ordered to bring It for Identification. In perhaps twenty minutes n wagon drove up, and I was askod to examlno tho contents. Upon raising tho blanket which cov ered the face of the dead man I at onco recognize our gonernl, "Gen. Rains asked: 'What Is your pleasure?' nnd I replied that I would Uko to have the body carried to the Ray houso. "As soon as a coffin Vould be made tho body was taken to tho Phelps farm. After tho body had been on ex hibition for Boveral days Gen. Prlco ordereo It burled. This was done Aug. 14 by Col. Snoad, who says: 'I burled him by Instructions from Gen. Prlco, nnd I said us I put him In tho ground, "That Is tho greatest enthusiast I ever saw and tho groatest man," ' Aug. 22 nn undertaker from St. Louis and a party of relatives came and had tho tody exhumed and it was taken cast."
