FOUND A LEPER IN LINCOLN, Ha Bn Afflicted for Eight Year and Beea Treated for Scrofula. The first case of leprosy in the etateof Nebraska baa been discovered in Lin coln. A Norwegian laborer 31 year of age, a resident of the United State for twelve year, applied to Dr, Everett 0 Lincoln for treatment. The unfortun ate mau ay that be ha been employed on the railroad tor eight year, and that the first effect bl the disease were no ticed at about the' time lie began rail roading. He boa aince doctored con tinually for scrofula. Wearying of the eame old thing and get ting no benefit from the medicine be took, the man applied to Dr. Kveretr. hoping to secure eome relief from tbe pain at least through th medium ol salt bath. A I alway the case before a patient I admitted to the sanitarium, the doctor examined mm thoroughly. He removed a tubercle from hi arm and Hurry Kverett submitted it to a bacteri ological analyi with the assistance of a microNCoiie, The doctor came to the conclusion speedily that the man had anaesthetic leprosy a the aymptom showed it. Th analysis of the tubercle bore him out in hi opinion, but to make ur of it he called upon Dr, Lockhart of the Willurd 1'arker hospital la ew York city, who I here vlsitirg. Dr. Lockhart ha had much experiencein ekin uieaea, having had charg of tbe leper on Kan- dill's Island.

PAYING CAMPAIGN DEDT8. A Part of the Speech of Hon. Joioph Wheeler of Alabama, July 19, 1897. A Nl Profit ot $1100,000,000, It baa been atated by tbe newspaper of tbe country that aince the Introduc tion of the Dlnirlev bill In th House nnd tha favorable consideration which it re ceived by that body, that tbe value of II etocke of tbe great trust have stead lly increased, Hon. Joseph Wheeler of Alabama baa Investigated the facta in tbe matter and give aome very Interest ing fliures. If how that twenty-five organized truela have an Increase In the value of their etock In th last three month exmwding 1200,000,000 in all. Thi I th recompense for their contri bution to tbe campaign fund which re- tored tbe republican party to power. Anyone who I familiar with th fact will conclude (bat the convening of tbl txtraordlnary Jscsslon and the enact ment of thi bill were eolely for the pur pose of paying campaign debt. la a speech lu Congress July 10, Mr. Wbeeler ttid: Th bill should be entitled "An act for the protection of and to increase the power and wealth of combine, monopo lies and trust," Nearly th entire bill! framed to at. tain euch a purpose, Oa March 31st a resolution wa voted Opon in the House the object being to Incorporate a pro vision in the bill, the effect of which would have been to add un amendment placing upon the free list all article iriaiiulactured, produced, or controlled by any combination or organization ol perOD or corporation formed in the United Htute for the purpose of limitfntr. regulating, or controlling the aupply or price of any such article. Th proposed amendment also con tain. J th further provision (hat the rate of duty now prescribed by law ehall be levied and collected on any or all of such article when, in tbe opinion of the secret ury of the treasury, such article shall cease to be manufactured, produced or controlled Ijj the Uni ted Htate by any aucb combination or organisation. Thi amendment wa a blow at or ganized trust. It wa voted for by every democrat and voted againt by every republican, and, ae a prominent republican atated, if that amendment carried, the entire purpose of tbe bill would be defeated. Nearly all th manufacturer of similar article in the northeast have organized into what are called trusu or combina tion. For Instance, the Standard Oil trust, th cotton-seed oil trust, the nail trust and the barbed-wire trust. These Organization are a follow: All th manufacturer in a certain Hue combine together and elect a board of trustee. They keep informed a to the stocks of good in the United Htate of the kind In which they are interested. and by closing a portion of their too torie from time t time they keep the production down to th demand In thie country. By these organization they regulate the production, the price, and th prlcnol labor. When the production exceed the demand, several, factories stop work, and thus laborer ar thrown out of employmtnt.
