ignited the match . and the unevap-

face, His coat sleeve, wjiicli had
been saturated with oil, also took
fire and for a moment it looked as

fire on hlu coat, and turn the hose

Lincoln County Oaina 075.
The cens'us of Nebraska by
counties was given to the public
through the Daily Bee yesterday.
The enumeration gives Lincoln
county a population of 11,410, which
is an increase of 975 over the censm.
of 1890.
The increase or decrease of popu
lation in jhe precincts in the
county is not given, but it is cer
tain that more than half of the nre-
cincta. have less people now than
ten years ago. The terr torv In
which the principal gains have been
made is 111 the Platte vallev nre
cincts, and while at this writinir
tlie ligures for North Platte are not
given it is pretty well known that
the population of this city has in
increased about seven hundred
since 1890. This leaves a gain of
275 to be accounted for in the
county outride of the city, and this
increase Wil largely be found in
Brady, Maxwell, Hinman, Nlclols
and Sutherland precincts.
The precincts which have suffer
ed the most notable decreases are
Wallace, Sunshine and Fairvicw
Fifty-live counties in the state
show an Increase and thirty-five a
decrease. Nearly all the counties
in the west part. of the state show
a decrease. Custer county shows a

It is said that a union meeting
of the railroad orders of the town
will be held within the next week
for the purpose of considering
plans fordoing some work in the
interests of organized labor during
the coming session of the state
legislature. It is hinted that
among other work will be that of
an organized effort to defeat D. E.
Thompson for United States sen
ator. The Kearney Military Academy
has been somewhat reorganized re
cently and is now on an excellent
basis, both as to the faculty and to
finances. It Is a good school in all
particulars, thorough in its mental
and physical training and home-like
in its appointments. A letter ad
dressed to Archdeacon Atmore,
Kearney, Nebraska, will bring you
full information in regard to the
school.
Dr. Jonas the U. P. surgeon of
Omaha was in town yesterday, the
object of his visit being to inquire
into the small-pox condition in this
city. Several cases of the disease
have developed among railroad men
in Omaha which it is. said have been
traced to infection in North Platte.
Dr. Jonas recommended to the
local authorities that before dis
charging, a patient who. .had small
pox that the individual be given a
chemical bath and thoroughly
fuminated. Also that the inmates
of a house, where a small-pox
patient has been confined be quar
antined for a period of twelve days
after the patient baB been dis
charged. These recommendations
will be carried into effect by the
local authorities.
1 An Ounce of Prevention
Is Worth
A Pound of Cure
When diseases of a germ or contagious nature
abound every precaution should be taken
to prevent infection. Fumigation of person
and premises can be made by use of
Formaldehyde Generators
which are extensively used and highly recom
mended. We carry them in'stock.
