Lincoln , Oct. 11. Nebraska trampled over the speedy eleven from Knox col lege at Antelope park Saturday , ex hibiting much better form than a week ago and scoring thirty-four points In two bhort halves of twenty and twenty- live minutes , while they kept the Galesburg men fiom getting near their goal. goal.Tho The fumbling which proved so cost ly In the game with South Dakota was not in evidence , and the Cornhuskers , instead of suffering from fumbles , gained a great dea. as a result , of the poor handling of the oval by the men from Galesburg. Nebraska's backlleld was a terror to the Knox line and could not be re sisted. Play after play , directed at tackle and center , netted the Corn- buskers good gains at almos.1 every attack. The wings of the visiting eleven were skirted for many long gains. Rathbono at fullback hammered the line and smashed his way through for several jnrds dining each half. Frank , right halfback , who fumbled in the South Dakota game , was again the sensation , reeling off yard after yard on ru'.is and drives at the line. He wriggled and writhed his way through the defense of the Galesburg men. lie was tackled , slipped away ; fell down , but got up and plowed on for more yards. He followed his inter ference , which on most occasions was good , and proved a puzzle for the op posing eleven all through the game. In addition to his great offensive plpying ho starred in the kicking de partment , missing but two goals from touchdowns and booting two success ful goals from placement out of three attempts. Although one or two glaring faults were noticeable in the Nebraska line , for the most part the men there played a good game. On the defense they were invincible and the Knox men did not once make down through them. On the offense their work was not what it will have to be in order to give Minnesota a hard contest , but It was much superior to that of the first contest with South Dakota. Concerning the Spinal Disease. Tllden Citizen : So far as the writer can recollect , this community has nev er before experienced such alarm as was caused by the first appearance of the disease poliomyelitis which was reported last week. That the epidem ic , which first manifested itself in New York and is gradually spreading toward the Pacific , is serious , cannot bo questioned ; and when once the dire effects of the disease are appreciated , the public will justify radical methods for the prevention of Its spread. Phy sicians of long experience have been baffled by the frequency of cases , largely from the fact that most medi cal books agree that poliomyelitis is not contagious. Scarcely a doctor can bo found who has not treated or known of , sporadic cases where per manent paralysis has followed , but In these Instances the disease has not been considered more contagious than rheumatism or toothache. The epi demic form Is entirely a revelation to physicians , consequently opinion has been divided when the question of public danger from the complaint has been suggested. The one case In Tildon led to the closing of schools and churches , and popular opinion on this official action was about the same as on politics. The school board and town trustees were both commended and cursed as n set of careful , conservative men and a bunch of Idiotic fools. Exaggerated Rumors. The scare and exaggerated reports that came to tpwn from various parts of the Burroundlng country led man > people In town to form the hast ) conclusion that the officials had acted precipitately In the matter ; and the writer , ns an outsider , must admit tc the same Impression with some res ervatlons. One lady who liven several oral miles from town called up the Clt Izun otllce about twenty-four hours nf ter the schools wen ; closed , and nnx lously asked : 'Is It true that yoi have forty cases of this now dlseasi In town ; and Is Tllden quarantined so that If I come to town , I may have to atay there for three weeks ? " Thcsi questions were put In nil serlousncBt and were the outcome of the will stories which sprung from nobod ) knows where. Another Instance of tin same kind : A lady In Tllden was ex pectlng some eastern relatives to vlsli at her home. She received a tolcphom call from Norfolk on the day of theli anticipated arrival , asking If It wouh not , In the face of reports gathcrci from a traveling salesman , be bettei for the travelers to return to Now York and defer the long looked foi visit until nil danger of the pestilence was passed. Such ridiculous fears pouring InU the cars of the men and women wlu were cognizant of the actual facts concerning corning the one case In Tllden natu rally gave rise to some resentment and the handiest recipients for sucl feeling were naturally the public of llctals whose authoritative action gav\ publicity to the one Isolated case o the disease In the town. AH soon ns Dr. Campbell was ap prised of the presence of the case li Tllden ho addressed letters of inqulrj lo doctors in towns of the state when the complaint has been reported a ( its worst. With the dostor's permts slon and for the information of tl.e public in this vicinity , the followlii } replies are published at length : Hear From Fremont Fremont , Neb. , Oct. 3. Dear Doc tor : Your letter of yesterday at hand and In reply will say that I do no believe poliomyelitis contagious , bu possibly very infectious. We hold i meeting of the doctors of Frcmon and decided not to close schools ant churches , but In all cases to quarantine the families who became afflicted This was also made Incumbent upoi us by the State Board of Health. W < have had fifteen or twenty cases , will one death , and In most cases paralysli of limbs. No new cases for a wool or more. Respectfully. E. W. Martin. M. D. Valloy. Nob. . Oct. 4. Dear Doctor In reply to your letter of the 2nd lust , will say that I am glad to tell you any thing 1 may happen to know relative to this so-called new disease. Onl ; four cases have come under my ob nervation ; one fatality. The child win died I only saw once , and was enl ; able , at that time to predict a possibl < paralysis. I have since learned lha the child died of the bulbar typo o the trouble. As to its being conta ? ious , I think so. The best men nn forced to concede that it is mildly so I think it is a good plan to dismisi school for at least a week or ten day : where the trouble exists , before it hai time to spread. Such action will bin- no one and by so doing you may pos -.Ibly prevent children from bocomlni permanent cripples. Three cases om a crossed paralysis , have occurred li the same district of this town , on tin same road and within a quarter o a mile , but only one In each famll ; has been affected , I asked the solio-i board to cooperate with me and the ; have been doing so. We have isolate ! our patients , and I have taken al the precautions that I would observe in diphtheria. I have been careful o the bedding and the excreta of al kinds , and while I have not maintained a legal quarantine , yet It amount1 to the same thing. We have dls mlsFed school for three weeks whore the disease has shown itself , and lie new ones have shown up ; Fraternally yours. J. C. Agee , M. I ) . Stromsberg , Nob. , Oct. 4. Dear Dor tor : Yours of the 2nd is just receivee and I hasten to reply. Yes , we have had a tevere epidemic of so-callee meningitis here. I had the splna fluid examined in a well known lab oratory in Omaha , and the repeir was meningitis ; consequently we rnlli'd it so. We now have roasoi to doubt that diagnosis , and I am o the opinion that it is really pnllomyc litis. I feel sine that no honobt elector tor could have closely observed ou epidemic without being convince ! that It is decidedly contagious , ane some of our now books will bear u : out In that conclusion. It Is , I an sure , the most serious epidemic tha has occurred In the state , boi-aus- of Its well known crippling results which are often worse than deatli I believe it criminal not to quarantine these cases , since an effective quaran tine will stop the epidemic ; but al cases must bo diagnosed early or a least prevented from carrying the con tagion to neighbors. The state boare at first simply asked us to isolate tin cases , as no legal provision had beei made for quarantining them. But Im mediately after the Fourth of July celebration obration the number of cases in creased rapidly , and on the 21st we were authorized and commanded b ; the state board to quarantine. Wi then quarantined about seventy-five homes without delay , and on Angus 12th our last case appeared in the city Hardly a case in the country trlhutar ; to our city has occurred since. Os ceola has had the same experience but the epidemic reached there latei so that they could profit by our e > porlence , and quarantined before the ; had many cases , and It stopped a once. Quarantining according to tin regulations governing diphtheria wll do the work , If It Is properly observed and that was our first method , on ac count of the largo number of case * Later we enforceel absolute quarantine which wo will also do in the futur If we should have any more cases Our chureht'B and schools wore closei as long as we had a case In the vldnltj We also kept the children on their owi premises. I hope that this informr tlon will be the moans of guardln some defenseless child from paralysl or death Yours truly. C. A. Anderson. M. I ) . Uphold Town Officials. In consideration of these letters I Is reassuring to know that no otho cases have occurred In Tlldeii. an that medical opinion leads strongly t the belief that all danger from furthe Infection has passed provided propc precaution Is maintained , The pul lie school will be reopened ou Moi day , unlcHu the disease BDOWB Unolf In some other place between now and that time. While ) poliomyelitis In KB epidemic form IB u comparatively new ( | | HOIIHO to most physicians , enough IB known to establish the fact that the fatali ties are about BX ! or seven per cent , the complete recoveries about three In a hundred , and that ninety per cent of the cases leave the victims para lyzed In one ! or both lower limbs. In the face of this appalling record , tin most skeptical will agree that a strong suspicion of the disease1 In the neigh borhood IB Biifilclent cause for the adop tion of precautionary measures , oven If such mcaHiires prove ) ndvurso to the . business Interests of the community. I So far as the writer can ascertain , Ttlden and the surrounding connlr ; have nothing to fear from the epl elemlc ; the disease having boon con fined to the one solitary homo. Whether this good fortune IB directly httrlbutablo to the Isolation of the case and the closing of the schools and churches will never bo known hut In view of the experience of the three towns referred to in the foregoing letters , there Is little room left for criticism of the officials who wore responsible for the temporary lucem- venlenco attendant upon the scare which followed. Republicans Name Ticket. A republican caucus consisting of Norfolk precinct , outside , and First , Second , Third and Fourth wards of the city of Norfolk , was held at the city hall Friday evening at 8 o'clock and although the attendance watt good , ou account of the voather cem- dltions many who Intended to be pres ent were absent and many were late In coming.

Burglars entered the People's De partment store some time after 9 o'clock last night and got away with over $50 worth of jewelry consisting of rings , bracelets , watch chains and fobs , stick pins and society pliiB. The ' robbers also took a Blab of bacon and hum. hum.From the fact that the most val uable jewelry was picked out by the thieves , it Is thought they were fa miliar with the store and it is thought the robbery was committed by those who have been doing other similar work in the city in the past month. Entianco was forced thiough a back window. The lights In the store wore burning all night. C. W. Mc.Masters , manager of the store , was out of the city but returned at noon.
