LINCOLN BUHEAU OFTHEONCUIV 10W P HTIILCT , LINCOLN , Dec Since Dr. Hillings submitted his book to the publlr on hog rholcra nnd kindred sub jects great things have been expected of him. Jn fact , the experimental station of the state Xinlversity suddenly grow into now and greater interest , and a dcgtco of confidence was awakened In Hillings that ho did not losses' ' * before. It was not thought possible that the eruditions of the gentleman could bo'wholly built upon pivs'iniptlon and pre tense. Hut the beimei proves that the Illu sions of l'6pe are us nn oinptj b.iublo. Hank ing upon the wisdom of the t-sperimcntcr-at- the-oxiwnse-oMho-fnrnlcrs and-stock-raiser , some time back , the board of regents appro priated 200 for him ami his aides upon which to commence experimental work. It did not prove a difficult task for him to find willing victims. Ho represented to fui mors In dif ferent localities that he had found a sure cure for hog cholera. Iiidccd , ho guaranteed tb cure and prevent cliolcra in every case where hogs were In a healthy condition. Much bluster could not full to inspire con fidence in every locality that had been ravaged by the disease. And , bo it remem bered , also , tie | great scientist where best Imotvn as an arrant citiack nnd fraud was backed nnd practically sent out by the board of university regents. The work of inoculation commenced. U'lio experimenter thought to ape Pasteur. His theory was that n healthy hog vaccinated from virus taken from one diseased with cholera would take the plague in mild form , would re cover and that would bo the end of nlldati- pcrto Mr. Hog. It seemed to be n plausible theory. The work commenced In Kiclmrdtoncountv. Herds of healthy hogs wcro inoculated with cholera virus. It worked. Hog * took the cholera in n mild form and died In largo numbers' . The disease spread and keeps spreading. Healthy herds caught the plague from vaccinated herds , nnd the hog kingdom down that way bids fair to bo swept from the ciirth. Figures tqll the story lit Hutler county. Dr. Hillings , assisted by Dr. Thomas , went among the farmers of that county , u short time since , with scalpel in hand , to become public benefactors. They were permitted to experiment lu four healthy herds , aggregating yo head of hogs , and out of the number 2UO toolc the disease in mild form and laid down and diod. So much for Dr. Hillings and hog inoculation. Ono of the victims , through an attorney , wrote these facts to one of the state ofllcials u day or two ago , enquiring as to Billings' lespousi- bully , and such other Information as might bo necessary preceding pros edition. It is u notorious fact that wherever Killings has inculcated hogs throughout thu state , hog cholera hits spread in the most violent form , and hogs have died off in large numbers. The Hillings experi mental agency went up lika a rocket and came down like u stick. It is about time to Rupprcss it. And , especially , say a number of Htiito onlciuls and prominent citlrcns of Lin coln , the man who won his iwsition by pre sumption and pretense. counr M.vrTEiK.

COLONKI , SWEET INTEIIVIBWI' ! ) . "Colonel" Franklin Sweet , ono of the san- gulnory heroes of the great battle of Wahoo and u member-elect of the Nebraska legis lature , was in town .yesterday nnd had him- holt Interviewed by ono of the local papers. Sweet has never had the reputation of being much of an onti-monop , nnd knowing the character of the organ through which his song was to ho ground , he miulo the statement thut the people of Mcrrick county were very well pleased with the condition of things regarding railroad rates , and that all they wanted was "good lioncst treatment , " etc. Thuu ho proceeded to glvo the railroad candidate for speaker , 'John C. Watson , a grand boost by declaring that Mr. WaUon was "head and shoulders nboro any man in the Held , " in the light , etc. Ho probably gets his information from Mnniuetto and Hoidredgo. Just who Mr. Watson's supporters are no ouo seems to Unow , oxcest that the "railroads are for him. " The colonel was very much in favor of maintaining the state inllitlu. General McHrido was asked regarding the Sweet In. torvlew : J-'Whut jlo you think of Colonel Sweet's ideas regarding the spcuUeralilp ! " Ho quietly whispered to Tins HBIS man these words : "Tho lower house of the Nebraska legislature is largely anti-railroad , and no man who is supported by the railroads can bo elected speaker. IClthur Dempster , Cody" or myself will bo speaker , and Colonel Sweet nor no other man can rub it nut. I nm much obliged to Colonel Sweet for the back-handed slap ho gave mo , " SCHEMING U.UMIOinS , On or about the 1st of January the state board of transportation will DSUIU the sup- cossors of Secretaries Mapou , Mungcr and Agor.

They Collide Yesterday Morning at tlio Tenth Street Crossing. Yesterday morning there was n collision between cable train B nnd 15 with a freight en gine at tlio Union Pacific crossing on South Tenth street. The latter was backing u heavy freight train eastward nnd had al most cleared the crossing when the ucuidcnt occurred. The grip was in the charge of anew now man named Flnlan , who emerged a week ago from his apprenticeship. Ho snw the train crossing tlio ? troet , and instead of stopping his cars south of the truck , allowed them to continue until ho found him self unable to prevent the collision. The rules of the company require all grip trains to stop a certain number of feet on oaohsidoof the Union Paciilo tracus to en able the conductor to go forward nnd sec if any Union Pacific freight trains are ap proaching. Finlan's train , it is suiu , started down the hill with the rope , as the rule requires , but nt a speed greatly In excess of that generally used on the line. Ho evidently thought that before ho would reach the Union Pacitie tracks the tram would have passed. Ho tound however , when near the base of the hill that ho had miscalculated the speed of ttio freight train and endeavored to stop his own train , which however ho failed to do. The conductor's name is McDonald and ho claims he apnlied his break as soon as possi ble , but without the desired effect. The col lision tore off the front roof eave of the grip cur , smashed the mil and turned the car across the truck breaking the drawhoad o the passenger coach. There wore several posscngers in tlie car nt the time , but they were not Injured. Tills Is the first accident thut hus happened to the cable at this place.

And HO tlio People of tlio Second Hc- joicc < l Exceedingly. No sooner had the result of Tuesday's election In the Second ward been made known than the friends of Councilman Kas- par surrounded him , determined to have n night of jollification. A brass band was sent for and the gentleman announced that ho would visit as many of his friends as possible before allowing the crowd to break up. Forming on Williams street the procession moved east to Thirteenth , increasing rapidly as it proceeded. Place after place was sera- nudcd , and the enthusiasm of the crowd was unbounded. Mr , Kaspar himself was ao happy as n bridegroom and the lion of the hour. The crowd dually massed nt Mr. ICas- par's ' place of business , which was for too small to hold it , and the victor was called upon for an address. Ho said that so far as ho had proceeded in life , that was the supreme premo moment ot his existence. Ho was Joy- fill at having been victorious , but what af forded him greatest pleasure was the loyalty of his friends , after having served thorn for two and one-half years. All his old friends had stayed with linn , and their ranks had been swelled By many accessions. The en thusiasm over the result was so great that it was difficult for the speaker to proceed. After concluding his remarks in English ho delivered mi address in Hahciman , which was received with many marks of approba tion. tion.Tho The procession then moved South to Vin- ton street and returned by way of Sixteenth. The Second ward republicans propose to Jubilate farther over the result , and have inudo arrangements for a meeting- Saturday night at Kas- par'n hall.

I lintl just registered my name nt tlio Pnlraor house. As I turned away someone ono jostled my elbow : j , "I " dcon bass i beg your pnrdon , a i voice began ; then , "why Oliver , old , boy , how ROCS 5tV" nnd my hnnd wns j > grasped and shaken hcai-tlly. I Razed a moment in perplexity at a tall , heavy , dark man of about thirty-live. "Fen- wiekV" I said , tiuestionlnfrty. "Fcnwick it is , ' ho responded. "Whore have you been all these ycarsV" I.a-kcd wnen wo were comfort ably settled In Fen wick's room. "Let me see. Five years npo wo wore in St. Louis topotlflsr. Well , my route hna boon mostly west Binno then. " Traveled awhile for a" hardware firm , WholubJilo croeki'ry's my line now. What are you air" ' Saino old ix-aiid-olglit jionco dry- goods , " said I brielly. Fonwiek ran hU lingers through his hair. My eyes followed the motion of his hand aim I made a discovery. "You're gray. " I said. Ho heaved a deep sigh , which sur prised mo , for a blither and gayer fel low than Fen wick I had not known , "Yes , boon getting gray for some time , " ho replied. My next question was somewhat ir relevant. "Married yet ? " I queried. His fuco Hushed painfully , deeply. I have always thought that the lluuhcs on dark faces indicated more fooling than the Hushes of fair skinned people. "I'll show you a piuturo , " ho said. IIo opened a valise , and from an inner compartment took a cabinet photograph wrapped in many folds of tissue paper. As ho resumed his beat and slowly re moved the wrapping , I was struck with the bombrc gravity ol his looks. In olden days , when we wcro clerks in the same ifouso , I had u mania for winding photographs , and ascribing qualities , or want of qualities to the originals. I fancied that Fonwiek meant tj test mv powers on this. I was ' right. "Wliat'is she like ? " ho naked handing mo the picture. "Not your style certainly , " i said , at the first Jitibty glance. I looked long nnd earnestly at the pictured face. Fen wick grew impatient. "Thintc your thoughts aloud , " ho said. "Well to begin on ago. She is twenty-six. " "Twonty-nine now , " from Fenwick. "Hair dark brown ? " "Right. " "Eyes rather cold in expression ; color doubtful blue , perhaps' ' "No very pale gray. " "Nose rather largo , n.outh ditto , square forehead , well-turned chin ; gen eral expression of face alert , deter mined , serious. Partichlar oxpresslpn Eyes cold , but can shoot forth firo. Covering up all but oycs and forehead , I discover a gentle , melancholic soft ness , which is belied by the mouth and chin ; nose IJoman , aggressive ; mouth closed too tightly. Hasn't fountl life a bed of roses. Forehead beautiful , head finely shaped , superbly poised ; hair artistically arranged , Huffy on top. Not pretty , not handsome , but a noble woman. General verdict calls her plain ; particular verdict calls her charming. " I looked at Fonwiek to learn how near right I was. Ho was ga/.ing intently toward tlio picture. "All you have said is true , " ho said , answering my looks. "The majority of people simply say aha is not good- looking. " "What are simple good looks com pared with the spirit , power and boul thut look out of that face ? " I said .warmly. Fenwick smiled enigmatically ; ho was a trillo phlegmatic. Ho reached for the picture. "Who is shoV" I asked. "Let mo toll you about her , " ho said. "I mot her four years ago ; she was visiting1 Tom Earl's sister , whoa Tom and I c'amo in oil the road. At first I took very little notice of her , for I ad mired Sallie Earl greatly , and , as you said , she was not my style. Sallie Earl was brilliant and showy ; her clothes wore always the very latest style , and she was pretty , too. But I noticed that she always deferred to her friend's judgment and tasto. The second day of our stay , I .awkwardly fell down Blairs on my arm and sprained it badly. So Tom had to take his Irip alono. i can't Bay that I was sorry. I wanted to go tea a hotel , but the Earls would not hear of it , bo I staid. After awhile I began to compare her with Sallie , and not to Sallio's advantage. Her clothes , which I Imd ihought so much inferior to Sallie - lie * in style , I began to ndmiro , for Sullic always had some stunning cos tume , and 1 solemnly believe that no man could look into these eyes without bceing the spirit , power and boul that you spoke of. " Ho paused and looked again at the picture. "Well , ho resumed , " with an impu- tiont faitrh , "tlio long und tlio short of it is , that I fell in love with her. She hadn't paid the leiuslattention ! to me. Most of the time she spent touching Latin to young Willie Earl , Then she was out often with the Earls cousins , the Glansbys. But you know when a man's whole mind is on one thing , and lie happens to have a strong will , defeat is not easy. "Sallio Earl's mind wtis all taken up with a wedding ; she was going to bo bridesmaid , so J had to bo entertained. I think she had a little contempt mo at first , for ; as she told mo since , Sallie was moro frivolous than anyone could imagine , and I was , to al } appearance dangling after Sallio. "Oliver , you can't conceive of the love I had for that woman. You know I have Httlo romance or truck of that kind about mo , but when I hud to go wny at the end of the week , and the thought struck mo that I should never see her again , I sat down and cried. "I know , my oycs were red , und as I passed through the hall. I saw her oa the porch. The Earls were there , too. Sallie bade mo a coquettish fare well , but she said : 'I am golnir to walk part of the way with Mr. Fenwick. ' 'So am J , ' bald Sallio. 'Noyou must not Sallio. I have something particular to say to him. ' 'O , very well , ' said Sallie , look ing glum. When wo hud walked awhile she said , looking up from under her largo hat , "Don't you think Unit was hold of mo ? " "Why did you do it ? " I said. Her face grow red , but she laughed. ' * ! urn insatiably curious , and you look us if you had boon crying. " Afterward BIO told mo that she was Beared when she looked up and saw mo go big and dark , glaring down upon her. Then before I know , out had como my secret , and J shall never forgot how pale she grow. All tills time wo had been walking. When slio tried to say something horvoico failed ; she laughed nervously , "I must go buck , " she said whan wo reached a corner. "No , do not go back till you toll me what will become of mo , " I cried. She hastily took u pouoil uud curd out of her pocket. "Write to mo , " nho Bald , and thrusting the curd into my hand , she loft mo. The curd wus her address. T wrote to her at the end of the wuok. for her visit to the Earls would then ho over. 1 do not remember all I suidbutbho told mo it impressed her very much. She did iiot euro ( or mo , but I might como to see her when I ohosa. I wont fo see Lor qfton , nnd at the end ol the year she married mo. " Herb Fomvink qpyored his face with Ills huudi nnd sobbed. I uiathtninod a sympa thetic silence. ' IIo resumed. "You may know ; how happy and hon ored I felt myself. , I3or family wore very cordial to mo , and once or twice I saw her the life unit light of n line com pany. That was | Whcn wo wcro invited to Black's. Black's the junior member of the firm I travel for ; you sec ho's a distant relative of niiiio ; they nro great society swells. "For four or five months she was gay nnd bright nnd was always planning surprises for me. 1 know she was bit terly disappointed when I could not read her favorite books , or any books , in fact. I'm not like you , Dick ; I hnto books. I was a little rough in tolling her this , and she was very sharp In answering , and what she said hurt mo sorely , for I know it was true , and grad ually I catuo to ceo that the woman 1 had married had done very ill , but 1 was not prepared for what followed. She went homo to make a visit , and from tlioro wrote to me , saying I would do well to forgot her , ns she never meant to come back to mo again. Wo wcro entirely unsuitcd to each other. I did not mak'o her happy , nnd she did not make mo happy. "Of cour&o , I went alter her at once. Her family were furious wanted her to go back with me , bat she was obdurate. To my ontrcalios she said : 'It is no use ; il is much bettor to part with a wrench now tlmn to spend a wliolo Hfo- limo unhappily. ' That was throe years ago. I have not seen her since , for her family made it so unpleasant for her Hint she went to California with an uncle. She is teaching school there now. " Ho censed nnd looked out into the fast falling twilight. From my toul I pitied this man. "Fenwick. she is not worthy of you,1' ' I said. "Sho is a foolishly sentimental woman who has wrecked your life for her iaon. " He shook his head sadly : "You don't urdorstund , Dick Oliver ; I do. in a dim bert of way , but not clearly. I bcliovo it is host for her " Tlio next day wo parted. All my thoughts were with Fonwiek ns the train rumbled along. I blamed his wife ; called her heathen nnd unfeel ing , and wondered if she would not regret - grot , him borne day , for ho was a manly , gontle-hoarted follow , bravo as a lion , and a favorite with all who know him. We renewed our old-time correspond ence , and I at length forgot his wife. In our infrequent meetings ho never mentioned her. II. Almost from my first acquaintance with Lottio Morrow , she talked of her friend Helen. But as I was chiefly en- Eaged in ingratiating myself with otlie , I took only a perfunctory inter est in Helen. But when Lottio consented to. change her name to Oliver , I heard moro of Holon. Then Helen's loiters were duly read to mo , and Helen's opinions were Hung at mo till I was fairly tired of her. parlor."I Ono morning after leaving the train , I prcsentcd'mysolf ml Lottie's door. Lettio herself unswcrod the bell. "I am so glad , you came to-day , Dick , " she said , "for I have a surprise for you. " "Is it Helen ? " I asked , seating my self.Lottie's Lottie's face fell : "how did you know"she asked. "Guessed it. " "Sho isn't hero , yet , but she is in town visiting some friends , and she will bo hero after dinner. "And nm I invited to dinner ? " "Yes , but I have something to toll you about Helen ; she is married. " "Indc.nd , pray when did she enter Ihe wedded'stato ? " "O , she's been married all the lime since you'vo known me , I mean. " "And why have you never mentioned Helen's husband ? is ho anonymous ? " Lotlio laughed , "Not exactly , but , Helen does not live with him. " r"Thcn youinust cut her acquaintance ; she'll bo advising you to leave , mo when " Lotlio silenced mo by beginning : n"Holen is a lovely girl , very clover , very well cducnled a beautiful char acter , indeed. " Lottio was given to superlatives. "Sho told mo all about the marriage , for wo have been friends since child hood. I saw her husband only once , and that was at the wedding. I knew ho was no mutch for Helen , though ho was n handsome man. " "Poor " 1 . , maybe , interrupted. "No , ho was moderately xycll off , but Helen was all fire and feelingnnd ho was was "Ice. " "No a rock ; if ho was icosho might have melted him but a rook. " Lot tie tightened her lips. "Why did she marry him ? " "Ho was so persistent ; and Helen said she never heard of anything like the passion with which ho urged his suitshe ; was absolutely afraid of him at times , and she said she did feel rather proud of such a conquest. " "Good reason for marrying a man , " I said indignantly. "Sho did. liifo him a great deal , " said Lottio , "but you are so unsympa thetic I shall not go on. " "O vcs , do ; she married him ; now , why didn'l she wlay with him ? " "Ho had no sympathy with her tnstoa ; ho talked about his business affaire uud nothing olso. " "Wasn't she interested in" her hus band's business ? " "Why of coui'BO , but sueh a consti tuted woiniui could not bo yoked with mediocrity und live ; she didn't propose to give up her lifo for him. " "Mediocrity , indeed ; und 'yoked ; ' are these HolonVwords or yours ? " "HollonV Lottio sttid , rodoning , "but I will not s y another word about her to you ; you nro very unkind , and you need not btay to moot her. " But I did. She came into the front parlor while I was paying court to Loti tie's small brother In the buck parlor. "I heard Lcllic's fervent greetings , nnd a calmer , cooler voice responding. "Dick , " Lettio called , excitedly , and I came forward. I was aware of n tall , slim figure , clad in thin white muslin ; n gracious presence advanced. Lettio said n few words that I did not hear , for I was staring vnennlly nt rVmvlok's wife. I recovered myself. ' , ' 1 I beg your pardon , I did not catch your name , " I stammered. "Why , it's Helen , flow stupid of you. Mrs. Fonwiek , " said Lottie. Fonwick's words rang in my cars : "I solemnly believe thai no man could look in those eyes without seeing the spirit , power and soul you spoke of. " And he was right. I sat down , dumbly , only answering when I was spoken to. Lottie was mortified , Over and over in my mind this sentence kept turning : "And ' grief seemed to belong to mo. Helen and Lvjttlo talked of many things. Helen's voice was clear and oven. I cotilrt hmigino her roplici to Fcnwick's tempests , for ho had a very irascible temper. She looked PO happy ns she detailed her plans for the summer to Lottie that my heart hardened toward hor. Lottio was asking questions nbout California , though it was a year since Helen's return from thorc. I Interrupted with what Lottio con sidered unpardonable rudeness : "Mrs. Fenwick , did you over read 'The Auto crat at tlio Brcakfabt Table ? ' " My tone sounded strange to myself. They slopped talking , and Mrs. Fen wick looked surpribcd. "Yes , Mr. Oliver , " she replied , but a burning blush overspread her fneo. "Do you remember what the Auto crat says about men nnd books ? " "Quito well , " nho responded , with re covered composure. "When did you read it ? ' ' I nskcd. "A hlllo over a year ngo. " "Well " I said "I have , , harshly. no dnubl you thought of John Fenwick when you read 51. " "Do do you know him ? " she slam- mo rod. "IIo is my dearest friend ; to-day , I hoard him slandered and maligned by Lotlic , but I did not know that she spoke ot Fenwick. "I tell you that a nobler mnn than John .Fonwiek does not live , and the love ho gave you , mnduifio , was worthy of a princess' nccontance. " ' ' ' ' words 'Mediocrity' 'yoked' the make me sick ; nnd all that rot about not being understood , BOU ! sympathy and such , is simply awful. "That man is your superior ; why , it is sueh men thut'livo boohs ; it is Mich men that make history , not novels. " I spoke rapidly ; Helen Fenwick had more command of herself tntia any living being I had ever known. She looked mo coldly in Iho face and taking1 a letter - tor from her pocknt , handed it to mo , wiying : "I brought this to show to Lottie , but you shall read it first. I am rather glad , though , to have seen you in that righteous passion ; you are a loyal advocate. Ttio letter was from her brother ; it contained the announcement that ho nnd Fenwick had mot , that Fonwiek was quite devoted to a young cousin , nnd ended with : "At all events , Helen , you have lost your grip on John , for ho asked mo if I thought you would object to his gelling n divorce. I lold him I would send you his address , and that you would write to him , which please do , for I do not like to bo mixed up oven remotely in such a disagreeable affair. " I merely opened my Tioto book and took out Fonwick's last letter lo mo. It bore date of two diiys previous , and was written later than the letter I had read. . I skipped the beginning and read : "Dick , I must nt last break this silence regarding her. The litllo cousin 1 told you of is so very attractive that I did consider n divorce for awhile ; I spoke to my wife's brother about it , even , but it is no u > e. I would rather live , with Helen a wife to me in name only , than to possess any other woman living. And , Dick , I must bee her ; I think of her every minute that I live , nnd if I do not see her I shall die. " Helen's face retained its impassible expression , but Lcltie was quielly cry ing. While I looked sternly nt Helen , she suddenly rose , und without ft word , left the house. Tlio next jday when Lettio wont to her friend's house , Helen bad gone home , and Lctlio received no letter from her for some time. Then tiho wrote : "Toll Mr. Oliver that every thing ho said tome mo was true , and I had thought it a long time , and that I never again ex pect to endure such anguish as I suf fered the last time you saw mo.1' Two months later , I came by special invitation to see Fonwiek and Helen. I never spent a more agreeable , duy , and never saw two happier people , though Helen's undonioiibtralivo manner would deceive casual lookers on. "Bless you , she ain't so cold when wo are alone , " said Fenwick in response tea a , remark on this Mibjoct. "I was in Chicago , at the Palmer , one day , when I was told that a lady wanted lo see mo. I Ihought it was the little cousin , but when 1 camp into the parlor , there was Helen walking up and down the room , a rod spot on each cheek. I could have dropped , but silo eamo straight to mo and said : 'John , will you take mo back ? ' and put bur arms around my nock , and I clasped her , and baid , 'why , Helen ? ' 'Because I love you , ' bho said , and thai Is Iho end , or rather the be ginning of my love story , " and ho laughed a little doiistrainodly. Aclvlqc to Mothers.
