Dr. OiTth replies to Dr. Billings In u-cnrd
to the question ot inoculating to prevent \wg \
cholera. 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

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.
TIIK LAST AOT.
Thfi last act in the work of the city in de
posing the police judge , came elf In schedule
time yeateul.iy morninc at the opening of

holdife ; tlio fort , and Mr. Wlilttemore , thn
newly appointed Judge , appeared tinned
with an order from thu mayor to the chief of

refused to turn the ollico over , and the marshall -
shall thetofore look him by thu arm and
walked him trom the otllce. Judge \Vhltte-

pertinent and of interest to their respec

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 ;

A resolution that a complete set of the

donated to the Chicago Odd Fellows'

deemed inexpedient to make n general
donation of the journals , as such action
would probably necessitate.

Colonel John Doniphan , of St. Joseph ,
Mo. , is a nephew of A. W. 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. "

"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.

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
