calling attention to the fact that five head
of caltlo from Arkansas have been unloaded
at a point near Germantown , and are now
Jnfer-ifd with Texas fever anil quarantined
In his letter he asked that some veterinarian
bo cent to Germantown to look Into the mat
tcr If shipped out Into the Btnto the results
nro likely to bo disastrous The national
quarantine line law , recently enacted , has
not yet none Into effect , and will not until
norno time In November. Dr. J S Anderson
the local veterinarian , now has the matter
in charge , but can hardly restrain the cattle
without some higher authority. The dis
eased cattle urn now In n pasture containing
sevrral sections of- land They vvero un
loaded a few days since from a. Burlington
train Today the governor's private necrc'

infantry wcro callers at the state capltol to-
xlay , and under the chapcronago of Major
rechet. These are the young German sol
dlerB. members of nmperor William's Iloyal
guards , who arc making a trip around the
world on foot and without a cent of money
The trip Is the result of a wager , although
the amount of the same Is not stated. They
nre likely to remain In Lincoln for several
dajs before they take up their line of march
westward Today they were very much In
terested in a mammoth repioductlon of a
painting of "Custcr's Last Charge on the
Llttlo Big Horn , " where he met his death.
The picture represents the closing scones
of that carnage , showing the Indians in the
net of removing scalps from dead and
wounded soldiers. Both of the German ofll
cers admitted that this was a feature of warfare -
faro to which they were not accustomed and
appeared to bo glad that such was the fact.
LHMING'S BOOK STOKE CLOSHS.
This mornlrg the extensive book and sta
tionary firm of A. T. Lcmlng R. Co. , with a
large store at 1100 0 street , and a ware
house at 1825 0 street , closed Its doors ,
giving chattel mortgages aggregating over
$35,000 The mortgagees are the following
VfW. . Cook , $ Jl.flOO ; Old National bank of
Cambridge , 0 , $2,500 ; Chemical National
bank of Now York , $9,000 ; Kirst National
bank of Lincoln , $1,643 CC Mr. Cook , the
most extensive holder , Is a resident of Ohio
The mortgages cover all the stock and fix
tures , and they represent all but about $2,000
of the liabilities of the firm. The latter U
composed of A. T. and Elijah Lemini ; , and
lias been in business In this city for about
twclvo years Lack of business Incident to
the prevailing hard times was the Indirect
cause of the failure , but the moro direct
cause was the pressure brought to bear upon
the film by the National Wall Paper com
pany. ono of the heaviest creditors. Two
years auo the firm gave a mortgage to thu
wall paper company covering eighty acres
of land cast of the city of Lincoln. Six of
thu notes , aggregating $3.000 , wcro due a
short time since The wall piper company
begpn suit on the entire number of notes
which an ouiited to over $30,000. This forced
the local firm to the wall , and they decided
to close up business.
It developed this morning that fredcrlck
Rclnhardt , whoso death was noted In this
morning's Bee as the result of heart failure ,
in reality committed suicide. It appears
thcro was a desire on the part of frlonds of
the deceased , which desire was made of
temporary avail , to keep the facts from the
public. Members of the press were Informed
jcsterdiy that the cause of death was heart
disease1 , to which Holnliardt had been sub
ject for icmo time. Learning that a core
ner's inijucst must bring the facts to the
surface the friends of the deceased this
morning notified the police that the case was
ono of self destruction , owing to despon
dency. Mr. Hclnhardt's physician had ad
vised him that he had hut ai few days moro
to live. Hu had been confined to hla bed ,
and thcro was a rope attached to the head
board by which ho was enabled to move
himself about. Early jesterday morning ho
attached this rope to his neck , after making
a slip noose , and rolled oft the
bed. Ho was suspended from thp floor just
a sufllclent distance to produce strangula
tion.

pot ted that thu dead beat list had grown
ateadlly during the past two weeks and
now contains the names of DOO people who
make a piactlco of never paying their

who never pay , there are a largo number
of pcoplo who have made it a practice to
delay the payment of their bills , com
pelling the grocer to cairy them way bo-
jond the time when the bills should have
been paid ,

owing to their Inability to collect accounts ,
It was time to call a halt In thu mutter of
extending credits. "Wo must have our
money when It Is duo or go out of business , "

seemed to meet with general approval , at
It was unanimously voted to bend out the
