Neville's Ciiso is Peculiar.
A Washington dispatch to the
World-Herald dated yesterday says:
The condition of Representative
Neville is presenting some singular
features. He had two slight
hemorrhages yesterday and another
light one this morning at 4 o'clock,
yet his condition is apparently not
growing more critical.
One lung is tilled with blood and
there is some danger of pneumonia,
but his physiciau thinks this will
probably be absorbed and he has
no immediate fear of the hemorr
hages proving fatal.
The patient is comparatively
strong and the physician felt
almost confident thas if he can
advance his condition slightly, so
as to move him to Florida, he can
save his life.
Now Game Law.
The new game law introduced by
Senator VanBoskirk, of Alliance,
which provides for the protection of
fish, game and birds in Nebraska,
has been gone over and corrected
by a number of game experts and
is a most interesting measure.
The only element opposed to the
measure are the pothunters who
have tor years been killing game in
an unlawful as well as unsports
manlike manner and shipping it
out of the state for sale. The bill
provides for wardens, who shall re
ceive a sufficient salary to justify
them in devoting their' entire time
to the work. It shall be their duty
to enforce the provisions of the r,ct.
which specifies the open season tor
fish and game, and designates the
amount each person is allowed to
kill. It provides for license being
issued to both resident and non
resident, hunters, and protects
owners of land irom intrusion'
The bill is said to cover every point
which might come up for settle
ment and presents many new ideas.
The wardens and all other attaches
of the commission are gfven the
power to arrest persons guilty of
violating any of the provisions of
the act and the right to revoke the
license of any person at any time
for cajise.

the land interested in local politics
have to spend so much money that
it takes rich men to run for city
and school offices.
In the first place they have to
hire a lot of canvassers and hacks
to hunt up the women voters that
are friendly to the party they
represent and get their names and
addresses and take them down to
the registrar's office to inscribe
their names. Then when election
day comes round, nothing but the
newest and finest cartaies can be

The man who expects to be
elected has to go to all this extra
expense. If he thinks that he can
slip in without it he finds himself
left in the count. In the interests
ot economy and pure elections,
therefore, Mr. Butler demands the
repeal of the law.
The women arc arriving from all
points of the compass to fight Mr.
Butler's bill and Topeka is throng

flower show. All this is food for
Kansas, however, and doubtless
Mr. Butler will be thrown down.
