A HI WE WE OF 1 H
Li FDR INSPECTION OF SEWS
Money Thrown Away, and Many Horse Breeders Deprived of the
Use of Stallions Through a Mere Compulsion by Law, Which
is Unfair to Many.
Reports have come, ia from
various pai ls of tin- statu that (lie
stallion ami jack examination law,
enacted nt tin; last session of the
.slate legislature, is not meeting
with Hie hearty endorsement of
all Hie farmers and owners of
animals in the .-tale. The con
lun'Joti is made against I lie meas
ure thai while it was designed to
rid the stale of underisahle or
disease breeders, it does not ac
complish that in fact. The rea
son set out therefore is that not
all of the examination work is
conducted in a thorough and
competent manner, and that there
s little or no good resulting from
the, operations of the measure.
The following from the Ord
Quiz, is an example of complaints
which have been made from other
sources since the registration law
went into effect:
"And bow do these deputies
work? They advertise that at a
certain date they will lie in a cer
tain town. . The stallions and
jacks are brought in, the deputy
looks into their mouths, runs his
lingers over their legs and de
mands 5 for his fee.
"What could such a law avail in
discovering hereditary disease or
ailments? Such a cursory exam
ination means that a due horse
showing a blemish from a kick or
defective wind caused temporarily
by eating musty hay will he prac
tically disbarred from the service
just as effectually; as (hough his
blemishes were duo to a long line
of diseased ancestors.
"We are told (hat (he deputy
who visited Ord examined forly-
seven stallions and jacks. Of
course he look out of Ord $225 for
his day's work, hoes the state
get Hie money? II is safe to say
that when Hie deputy's salary and
expenses are paid and the office
force maintained at the stale farm
(here is nothing left. More likely
there will be a dcflicit for the
slate to make up one way or an
other." The law provides that the sec
retary of the state board of agri
culture, the professor of animal
husbandry of the University of
Nebraska and the deputy state
veterinarian, shall constitute the
registration board. Examinations
are conducted under veterinarians
appointed by the board and the
fee (here for is $5 for each exam
ination, $3 for a renewal, and $1
for a certiflieate showing a trans
fer of ownership.
The funds accruing from the
examinations are, according to
the, law, used for printing certi
ficates, for the pay of the inspect
ors and clerks necessary to con
duct the work of 1.1m department
and in publishing an annual
record of stallions and jacks
which have passed satisfactory
examinations.
Failure to comply with the pro
visions of the new law means a
fine of from $50 to $100, or im
prisonment in the county jail for
thirty days, or both, at the dis
cretion of the court. Animals
which do not pass the required ex
amination are not allowed to be
kept in service and their disquali
fication, in fact, means their re
tirement from (he field of active
breeders.

Krom Hiiturdny'g Dally.

merly a prominent citizen of this
city, died at SI. Bernard's hospital

mains will arrive at the Hurling
ton station in this city at 1:11!
this afternoon and the funeral
will occur from the station and
will be conducted by Key. W. L.
Austin, pastor of (he Methodist
church.
Maria Marrow was born in Ire
land December 24, 183 4, and when
a little girl came (o America with
her parent ami sell led with (hem
in Canada, where he grew In
womanhood and was married at
the age of 111 years lo William H.
Short. She moved with her hus
band to Wnlrrlown, N. Y., in 18t8,
and later they settled in Platts
nioulh. in 1H81, residing here un
til six years ago, when they moved
to Omaha, where Mr. Short died
live years ago.

York, J'hil of Hruno, Ore., Mrs.
Sarah Waybright of Lincoln, Mrs.
Carrie Hrousious of Primville,

DEOTHEBIB
Sufferer From Bronchial Troubles
Contracts Disease and Death
Results.
From Saturday's Dally.
Leonard II. Jennings died at his
home in Hie .smith part of the city
Wednesday. The death of Mr.
Jennings was caused by measles,
complicated witli other troubles.
II i said that he had been atllicled
for some time witli a bronchial
alTcclion and bad staled that be
feared an attack of the measles
on acocunt of the other trouble
and lived in fear of contracting
the disease on that account, lie
came down with an attack of the
measles, which is a serious mat
ter for an adult in any case, and
being complicated with the
bronchial trouble, caused his
death. lb; Was 37 years and 1
month of age.
Mr. Jennings came here with
his family from the western part
of the slate only last fall. Not
many people knew him, but those
who were associated with him in
any way say that he was a hard
working man of steady habits and
sensible of the duties devolving
upon him as the head of a large
family. He worked at whatever
he could find lo do and for a while
was employed as a section hand
on the Burlington.
A very sad fealure of the case
is that by the death of the husband
and father, the mother is left
with five children, the youngest
of which is but 2 weeks old. Some
of the other children have the
measles and the woman has had
a hard time taking care of her
husband and the children. The
family is without adequate means
to meet an emergency of this kind.
They are worthy people and
should be given the aid that they
so sorely need. The unfortunate
woman and her little ones should
not have their sorrow made all
the greater, or their burden of
grief heavier by any lack of the
willingness of the people of
Auburn to come fn their assist
ance.
The funeral was held at the
family home Thursday afternoon
and the remains were interred in
Sheridan cemetery.
The report that a case of the
measles had resulted fatally caus
ed considerable alarm, in view of
Hit! widespread epidemic of that
disease that is now prevalent in
the city. Hut there is really no
cause for alarm when it is taken
into Consideration that it was a
case where an adult patient was
stricken who was not in physical
condition to withstand the dis
ease. It was by no means a nor
mal case of measles. Auburn

Charles Oilmoie and wife re
turned home last Monday night
from near Pender, where they
went to attend the funeral of
.Mrs. Puckelt.
M. Pentico received a telegram
announcing (he death last Sun
day of his brother, Jacob Pentico,
living at fierce, Neb. Deceased
was Hi) years old. Funeral was
held Wednesday.
While bringing one of his
horses to town recently lo sell
Will Morse was unfortunate
enough to lose him, as the animal
was taken with paralysis and
died in a short lime.
The dance given for the benefit
f Ed Kelley at. Mauley 'January
29 netted $2i0. It was a big help
for Mr. Kelley, and William Ash
was one or (lie mam ones in car
rying the plan to a successful
finish. Ed is coining home soon
and will be a mighty thankful man
to get out of the hospital.
Dr. A. Tec-garden, who spent a
number of weeks here visiting his
sons, departed Tuesday for San
Diego, Cal., to visit his daughter,
Mrs. Henderson, lie was accom
panied to Omaha by I. W. Tee
garden, who got him well started
on the Burlington route, and he
will have a warm, nice trip to the
south and west.
David Foltz, whose public sale
takes place on Monday, February
12, has rented his farm to Henry
Myers, and Mr. and Mrs. Foltz
will move to South Omaha to re
side. It may be for business
reasons Mr. Foltz prefers South
Omaha, otherwise why take
oxygen and nitrogen along with
the packing house odor?
L. D. Swilzer rather surprised
us by returning lo Nebraska be
fore the frost was out of the
ground. Dock was going to find
a good sunny spot where condi
tions were just right, and put on
his white pajamas and flirted with
southern breezes. But it seems
he didn't get good and warm and
in some towns where they enter
tained spinal meningitis,, they
were invited to move on, and they
kept moving on until
was reached.

in such a way as to catch both his

no one near lo release him; he
Nebraska couldn't carry the tree, he couldn't
pull loose from (he trap, and as
he had but one pair of legs he
didn't want to leave half of them
there, so he could do nothing but
shout and wait for the much

more of torture Henry was over
