It will bo remembered tlnit Dr. JiillliiKa In his article in tlio Journal in reply to the request for a test said : "While much remains to bo done In a Htrictly Bclentllic sense , we need to make but one large expenuvent In order to turn the question of the pievention of swine pln mi by Inoculation over to the state authorities. " To this Dr. Ucrtli , of the live stock com mission replies us follows : "It Is with rcmct that 1 read the communi cation of Dr. linilnirs In the Journal of tlio lHh Instunt , In which he stated that , though willing to make thu Inoculation experiment , he was not prepared to do so at present , and will not be ready to proceed much before the 1st ot January , unleaa the means are sup plied him by the live stock commission. Now , every one Interested knous , and Dr. Hillings certainly .should know , that the leg islature did not appropiiato any motley lor thoa use of tlio live stock sanl- ' tiry ; commission that could be 6i > eiit lor experimental purposes , ilut notwithstanding , the state sanitary CDiinnlbslon will cheerful ! } t'iv all the as sistance that they can legally , llnaucinlly , or otherwlbc. Upon oarofnl Inquiry It is ascertained that Dr. Hillings has still about lilteen hundred dolhirs at nh disposal that c.\n uu used for expi'rimental purposes. With the conli- deuce that the doctor has that he can prevent the Buiund ot hot ; cholera by inoculation and that it Is practical to do so , U is more than criminal iieKlluence on his pait to refuse to make the experiment , tor fear It mlclit ue too t'.xpPiisUo and hu have nothing left to cntitlnne his inventlpitlous of Texas fever with , cduii'lally so when the dailv losses sustained from ho ; : cholera , in all probability , are greater llian the total loss trom Texas fever could amount to in several year. * , lly making tno experiment Dr. Hillings has all togain andnotniiiK to lose. In tact lie has an opportunity to immortali/.e himself , and have his name handed down to posterity as the neatest bonetactnr of the nineteenth cfiitiiiy. How , under the circumstances , ttie doctor can hesitate , even lor a moment , Is more than 1 can understand. A simple aud Inexpensive experiment , ono that I * believe will Mtlsty everv reasonable citizen , has been siiK ested , viLet : 100 lie 'h of ( llll'erent a ea , tiom a few months old upward be purclia&cd and placed In n Rtrlct imaiaiitlne at tno college farm , until such tlino us Di. liallius may be srvtistied that thev are fieo trom dUeaso ; lie , In the meantime , to be alloued to take all necessary precautions npainst the possibility of tlieir bi'comliiu exposed or inlected. Six weeks will bi > more than Mitllclvut to ascertain whether they are free from hog cholera or not. After this port/id the doctor can beciu to Inoculate the animals and so prepare them forexposuiovhlch , according to Ids state ment , will take lorty dujs. "Thirty days after that , " hu hays , ' they \\l\l \ bo ready lor any uravlical test oy exposiuo or inlection. " At that time the committee unpointed by the htate board of agriculture should be privi leged to select u small number ot hogs dis eased will ) the plague and put' them nmmi : ; the inoculated r.nlmuls tliat should now be pioot uKauul Infection and await the result. As the hogs so inoculated will not die liom tin- , exposure iat least Dr. 1)11- ) linns Us conlidont tint they wilt not ) they can then be .sold and the leeelpts placed to his credit. The pen or ticua being Intected , the property can bo destioyed by the live stock commission , who. under the circum stances , would be Justilled in making a lib eral apmalsment , and the Indemnity thus rvcelu'd also be credited to his experimental funds With nil arrangement or utulor- Btandlnc of this kind the experiment can bo made at a net eost of probably leas than S700. U is to be Moped that Dr. Hillings will hes itate no lonirer and proceed fit once todotnon- strate to the } > eople of Nebraska that ho ; cliolera can bo prevented by Inoculation and lUtt U U inaclical.

TIM : In the pioirreas of events In the summer season the time came when the Lincoln base ball association lonnd itself embarrassed financially , and the prospects wcte that the club would have to be disbanded. Fouitc.cn liOcial citl'/ens , who did not want the city to lose the prestige of a base ball club and who did not want the club to die tor lack of sup port , put their shoulders to the wheel , hired the best players to be had in theland and in a month's time had the beat club In the league , and one that lifted Lincoln's position In this league trom the tall end to second place. The Lincoln public. howo\er , never realised the work the syndicate was doing to the ex tent of giving them a living uatronage , ami at the end of tlm season the fourteen citizens who brought the club to the front found tnuy were out ot pocket just SO''o each. It Is not generally thought that the city will have a club the coming year although they have a franchise in thn now We-dem association and could put a winning club in the Held If assurance of support was given it.

The Bni : is desirous of making this column onu of inturcst to tlio members of the secret orders of this Htate. To this end it is urged upon the otliccrs : uid members of the ilillcrent organizatons to send in , each week , items which may be pertinent and of interest to their respec tive orders. The Sovereign Grnnd Ijoilge. The session of tlio sovereign grand lodge of Independent Odd Fellows con cluded Saturday of last week and was as largely attended aud as important from a legislative standpoint as any which lias been held during late years. This being the "oft" year , " in the sense of not in cluding the election of ollleors , not so great interest attended the meeting as is manifested on those occasions. The gen eral tenor of legislation , however , has been of moment because it has been in the direction of reconciling many seem ingly contradictory laws. A lame num ber of appeals have been disposed oftoo , , and precidents established which will prove valuable in the future. During the session three of its njembcrs have boon promoted. Colonel Nicholson , ot Pennsylvaniaa member of Grand Sire White's personal stalV.hus been promoted to brigadier ; Colonel A. ( ' . Cable , of Ohio.on Lieutenant General Underwood's stall' , has been promoted to brigadier and is also n personal aitt to the general ; Hrigadior General IVttibono , ot Ohio , on Lieutenant General Underwood's stall' , has been promoted to major general.

A resolution that a complete set of the journals ot the Sovereign Grand lodge bo donated to the Chicago Odd Fellows' as-iociation was voted down , it being deemed inexpedient to make n general donation of the journals , as such action would probably necessitate. AN OLO MKMlimt. The most conspicuous person in Odd Fellowship in tlio world is 1'ast Grand Sire .James P. Sanders , of Vonkers , New York. He lirst joined the order in 181 ? and has been prominent in its councils ever since. Ho has never since the first year that ho was elected missed a session of the Grand lodge ot his state Ho has been at every meeting of the .Sovereign Grand Jodge since the year 11:60. liy his efforts at defeating extravagant bills introduced into the meeting of the sovereign lodge lie lias acquired the title among lodgemcn of "Tho \ \ atch Dog of the Treasury. " He was lirst sent as a representative to the grand lodge in 18.V , ' . Ho : s the only living elective ollicer ot the famous meeting in Baltimore in Ibftf , being at that time the deputy grand sire. Mr. Sanders learned the trade ot hatter in his youth and did not begin the studv of law until after ho entered the order. Ho is now.tho oldest lawyer and has the largest praetii-o m tlio eitv ot Yonkorc. He is a most enthusiastic believer in the benefits of Odd Fellowship and declares that every good thing that he enjoys in this world from good health to a line law Rich Plush $25 , lo-inorrow morning.

Doniohan who led the famous march to Chihuahua. Colonel Doniphan is a decidedly bright Odd Fellow , and was a con spicuous liguro at the Denver session. He was a grand representa tive in 1805 , and a grand master in 180' . ' , some of the most trying years of the war. The colonel , like most of the members ol his family , was a strong union man , but he had not very distant relatives who were very strong partisans on the other side. To keep an Odd Fellows lodge going in one of tlio border Elates in 180'-J- 03 , with people very loyal and others very disloyal in the same community was not an easy task , but Colonel Donf- phan managed to accomplish it. In ISO ! ) Mr. J. A. Price and Colonel Doniphan instituted a lodge in Missouri without a book in the room. Odd Fellowship was organi/cd in Mis souri in 18:11. : Colonel Doniphan hasfor thirty-eight years been a member of Phii-nix lodge No. 30 , of Westou , Mo There are only two of the charter mem. bers ot this ledge now living who are ac tive members of this lodgn. In conversation with a reporter of the Denver Republican , Colonel Doniphan said "I will tell something that mav prove interesting at this time. 1 will re late it to you and you can publish it if you sen lit. In July , 1810 , William C Mnrley , Peter Kirker and F. Gilmore with members ol Pluunix lodge , No J10 , in connection with three other Missouri Old bellows , organi/.ed an Odd Fellows lodge in Marysville , Cal. , all the mem bers being emigrants of ' 40. They wrote to Baltimore for a charter , but whether they obtained one or not 1 am unable to htate. J his was perhaps one of the very first fittempts to organi/.c a lodge of Odd Fellows m Califdrnia. It is recorded that they Qmet , opened with singing anil prayer and organi/.ed under due form. " Coloimi Doiiiphau wont witli General Frank Marshall to Council I'lnll's in early davs and has many interesting stones to toll of the old days. The his tories of the old families of Virginia , Missouri and Kentucky ho seems to know- by heart. "Ono of thelinestofTomMar.sliall'sora- tions , " said Colonel Doniphanllis one on Dick Menifee , the famous Kentucky era tor. The Hughes arc also an.old Virginia family. There is an interesting story ot the war of the revolution , in which the Hughes and Menifces play a part. It is related that captain , afterwards Colonel Washington , and a nephew of the im mortal George , hati in his company of dragoons a young.man named Monifee , who in a battle with Tarleton's men cut down n young Uritish ollicer with his Hword. Tarloton and his men were so haughty and overbearing and had com mitted so many cruelties that it was the custom of AmWienus to .show no quarter whatever to Tarleton's men , but to kill them on .sight.i A Mov OF THE KrVOI.lTIOV. "On this occasion Menifee was about to di > pntch the young KnglMiman whom ho had wounded when a mild , appealing look in the young man's eye softened him and he did not take his life. It is stated that this act of clemency gave the young Knglis'-man ' n warm feeling toward Americans and ho did not return to F.ng- land , but made his homo in the colonies. The st > < inol of the .story is that the young P.nglishman married a young lady of the Hughes family ami be'amo the founder of an Old Dominion family. The Menifeo in this story was the father of Dick Men- ifce , the orator. The 1'lrtt MiiHoniu Tn m pie.

The supreme council convened at tf o'clock , uml opened in the degree of per fect master in full form. Congratulatory addresses were made , giving the Scottish Kite Masons of that city great credit for the strides they had made during the past few years. A banquentwas given in the evening at the assembly rooms , Academy of Music , tit which none but Scottish Kite Masons took part. LiKimN\\r : KisuNT.nrnv who met his death in the famous Greely expedition was a Knight of Pythias. Since the inside history ot that expedi tion has become a matter of public dis cussion the Pythian Knight published at Kochcster , N. Y. , and beyond doubt the leading paper of the order , has censure : ! General Grcely in the severest terms lor what that journal terms the general' . * ! brutality in Ins treatment ot the dead knight. From the diary of Sergeant Maurice Connell one of the participants of that memorable vovago , the Knight has quoted extracts in support ol its charge , anil ths sergeant has written the editor to at once retract or stand tlio consequence * * . The Knight replies with the expressed desire that Sergeant Council will carry out his threat , and adds : "Next to a coiirt of in quiry n libel suit acatnst The Pythian Knight would be just the thing to bring the survivors of the ( ireely expedition on the witness stand to corroberate every word published in this paper and enough in'addition to secure punishment and general public execration for thohiished- upvilhanyof the ( ireely expedition Hut wo know that Serge-nit Council's letter was only written to appease his master , ( ireely , and to save his position in the signal service , we are horry that ho hhould stoop to the meanness of denying his own words in this cringing , crawling ell'ort to remain in favor with his "chief. " The Pythian Knight has evidence that would satisfy any court of justice in the land that its quotations from the diary of Sergeant Council are genuine. This paper is not engaged In aiiy 'unholy war against General Grcely. ' It has simply taken up , single-handed , the cause of a true Kn ght ot Pythias , a hero in every sense of the word , who gave up his life , a victim to the incompetency , jealomy and downright brutality of the commander of the ( ireely expedition. This wo have already .shown to be true , and this we are prepared to prove in court. In linking with General ( lively'a case the names of living \Mtncsics of his infamy and tint of a government whoio olliccrs were so deep in the nun * of jobbery in connection with the titling out of that expedition that they did not dare to bring their creature to ju-tice , wo are inllicting perhaps a hardsnlp on tho.-u who are degraded - ' graded enough to hold places and sell their secret * ! tor a mc.ss of government pottage , but we hardlv think that our coursu is 'dishonorable' or 'tinknightly.
