Lincoln dispatch : The following communication , received in Lincoln by Hon. H. C. Russell , chairman of the committee on pensions , of the Nebras ka department of the Grand Army of the Republic , from Senator M. L. Hayward - ward will be of interest to all Ne braska veterans who have had any dealings with the United States pen sion office during the last few years : NEBRASKA CITY , July 7 Gener I al H. C. Russell , Chairman of the Com mittee on Pensions of the Department of Nebraska Grand Army of the Re public. Dear Sir : Yours of the 5th inst. In regard to Commissioner Evans and his treatment of pension claims is at hand. On July 12 , 1899 , a com mittee selected by the national coun cil of the Grand Army of the Republic will meet in Washington to Investigate all charges made against Mr. Evans and look into his manner of conduct ing his office. Comrade W. C. Johns- son , commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic , is chairman of such committee. I have written all comrades whom I know of that have complained against Mr. Evans and asked them to send a full statement of their cases to General Johnson , care of the Pension office at Washing ton , D. C. , for investigation. If any comrades desires me to do so I will see that his complaint is properly ar gued before such committee. Yours sincerely , M. L. HAYWARD. For several months a feeling antag onistic to Pension Commissioner Evans has been spreading through out the country and there has been considerable complaint as to his dealing with pension claims from this state. Mr. Evans charges it to misrepresentation by pension attor neys who have at some time found it impossible to get through unmeritor- ions cases. There has been consider able correspondence on this subject between the Nebraska headauarters of the Grand Army of the Republic and people in Washington. It has been al leged by pensioners that Mr. Evans is too rigid in his ruling on pension claims and that in this respect he is follow ing the course pursued by his prede cessor , Commander Lochren , during the administration President Cleveland. It is at the request of Commissioner Evans that Commander Johnson and his committee have undertaken the investigation. The committee will be given access to all the records in the pension department and every oppor tunity will be afforded it , it is under stood , to examine particular cases cited in support of the charges that the commissioner is unfriendly to the old soldier. Graduating In Overalls. From the Indianapolis Journal : Perhaps the most amusing school "racket" of the year is that reported from Lyons , Neb. The commence ment season has brought the usual reports , with some variations of con troversies between board and pupils , faculties and students , relating to col or , to hats and gowns or some other non-essential , but in no instances has young America shown as much pluck or achieved as distinct a victory as did the high school graduating class at Lyons. The dispatch does not state the origin of the controversy beyond saying that the students had "suffered certain humiliations at the hands of the school board. " Every person who knows the tendency of small officials to exercise offensive authority will understand that. By way of retali ation the graduating class adopted "Work" for their class motto and de termined to receive their diplomas in "overalls. " The school board en deavored to thwart this rebellious scheme by refusing to pay for the public hall , whereupon the class ap pealed to the public , charged an ad mission fee , got a great outpouring ol the people to see and hear them in their overalls and made money. This so hurt the dignity of the high anc mightly officials that they resigned ir a body , evidently expecting the Lyons public school system to "come tumb ling after , " which it will not do. The incident illustrates the tenden cy of some officials , who are clothed in a little brief authority , to magnify their offices and the ability of youn § Americans to take care of themselves The high school graduates at Lyoni could not have adopted a better class motto than "Work , " and their appear ance in overalls showed they attachec more importance to a principle thai they did to mere external appearance f In this country there is no surer guar li anty of success than work and m liii higher badge of Americanism thai iie overalls. The class appealed to th e public on strong and tenable ground 11 and deserved the support it got. Per 11k haps the members of the board savei k their dignity by resigning , but th d people will not trouble themselves ti h inquire. They will choose anothe e board and the schools of Lyons wil itS go right along. Meanwhile , it is to b S hoped the graduates will not forge it their class motto. LS E. B.

The following order has been pro mulgated by the state board of health and sent to all known local boards In Nebraska : To Local Health Boards and Physi cians of Nebraska : All cases of small pox arising in this state shall here after be promptly reported to the sec retary of the state board qf health , with statement of surrounding condi tions. Following this first report , weekly reports of all new cases and deaths must be returned. Where the origin of the Infection can be ascer tained , it must be stated. B. F. CRUMMER , M. D. , Secretary , Omaha , Neb. By order of the State Board of Health. Dr. Crummer , referring to the above order , said : "The continued appear ance of smallpox at different points in the state , the most serious outbreak being at Table Rock , has given rise to some apprehension for the future. It Is especially important that the in fection should be kept out of the state Institutions , for it is well known that when a penitentiary or any place sim ilarly crowded becomes infected with the disease , It Is almost Impossible to get rid of it without burning the premises down. While the legisla ture , in the face of this threatening condition , refused to enact the pro posed sanitary bill , or to make the needed appropriation for its enforce ment , it has been found that our emergency bill , passed to meet the ex pense of the board last winter , inad vertently conferred upon us certain powers , which the governor and other state officers now wish the medical board to use to the best possible ef fect , in assisting local boards to stamp out this unwelcome visitor. The first and most important step is that a prompt report be made by the board when a case occurs in any community and I hope that the physicians of this state will support our board in this work. "All members of the local boards and practicing physicians in Nebraska who may see this order will kindly consider It as an official notice with out writing for a personal letter.
