LINCOLN , May 12. ( Special Telegram. )
The difficulty with the Grand Island com
pany was adjusted this morning. The gov
ernor conceded to the company the right
to put In its ofQceni selected from among
the old members of the company. This con
cession wns made Into last night and this
morning the members of the company went
up to the mustering offices and were sworn
In In due form. Cnptaln Rocder recon
sidered bin resignation nnd wns mustered
In with his company. The other officers np-
polnted by the governor nro : Chnrlcs Perry ,
first lieutenant , nnd Chauncy Nusz , second
lieutenant. The appointment of these men
would liavo been satisfactory to the men of
the company from the first , but the trouble
nroso over the appointment of n university
cadet ns first lieutenant. Thin
selection of nn outsider ns nn officer , coupled
with the disappointment in having two old
officers rejected by the medical board , led
the company to balk.
Eight members of company M decided
that they did not want to become soldiers
nnd naked for their discharges. Of these
five were boys from Grand Island. Fifty-
seven members of the company went up
nnd took the oath. As they marched back
to their headquarters they were given
hearty cheers by the boys of the other com
panies ,

The roll was called In each company and
ns the men stepped forward they were In
spected In turn , their nrms and other equip
ment also being exnmlncd. Those without
uniforms or guns were sent back to the
camp to bo fitted out later.
The supplies now furnished by the com-
nlssary department nro decidedly superior
to the goods furnished under the contracts
made by tbo state. The bread and meat
is of the same quality , no complaint ever
having been made on this score. The coffee
is now real coffee , the potatoes are better
thnn before nnd the other eatables are of
uniform good quality. The wood furnished

Slrmnxlniric Iloytt Dlnniniolntcil.
The citizens of Stromsburg have n crow
to pick with the state government. Yester
day nftcrnoon when it Seemed thnt the
Grnnd Island company wns about to bo
mustered out the governor nnd the ndjutnnt
gcncrnl authorized" V. E. Wilson , ono of the
state bnnk examiners , to go to Stromsburg
and bring down a company that has been
organized there. Wilson went to Stroms '
burg nnd this morning , receiving no further
word from the governor , loaded forty men
H
on the train nnd came to Lincoln. When
the Stromsburg boys arrived here they
learned that the trouble with the Grand
Islnnd compnny had been fixed up during
the evening. The governor forgot to notify
the Stromsburg company W Iho. change In
the program and as a consequence they
are out of pocket the expense of coming
on tho' wild goose chase. There wns still
plenty of room to enlist In squnds In the
various companies today , but the Stroms
burg company had Its own officers and had
no dcslro to divide up and nil go In as pri
vates in other companies.

MUSTERING OFFICER'S ' WORK
General Feeling of Dinatisfoction at the
Results Attained.
MEN ARE SORE AGAINST STOTSENBERG
Widespread tlellef that the Armr OKI-
cer Upicil Ills Power to Secure
Good Dertha for Himself '
nnd Favorites.
LINCOLN , May 12. ( Special. ) There Is
much dissatisfaction among the officers nnd
men over the actions of Lieutenant Stotsen-
berg , the regular army officer who has had
charge of the muster hero and who has
succeeded In getting a promotion for him
self with the volunteer troops. There has
been from the first a feeling that the reg
ular army officers would seek to control all
the volunteers , nnd this has led to many
suspicions , whether Justly or not , ns to the
conduct of Stotscnberg. It is said that
several weeks ago when the lleutcnnnt got
notice that ho was about to bo ordered to
leave his post at the university and join
his regiment , he begged to bo kept at Lin
coln for awhile , as he stood n good chance
of n substantial promotion In the volunteer
army. At that tlmo the governor had
promised him a good place In case the Ne
braska troops were called out.
The appolstment of Stotscnberg ns major
In the First regiment necessitated the re
tirement of ono of the old officers of the
National Guard and the lessening of the
chances of promotion of every officer In the
regiment below that rank. Slotsenbcrg was
first assigned to the Second regiment , but
when It became certain that the First would
bo the earliest ordered out a place was made
for the regular army officer In that regi
ment. This cbnngo was made before the
list of appointments wns made public , but
tbo list Itself as It came from the governor's
fflce shows the erasures of the names and
he change of Stotscnberg from the Second
o the First regiment. This lends to the
atural Inference that the majors were
aughtcred to make room for Stotscnberg.
The plan to colonize the companies with
adets and then promote the university boys
vcr the heads of the old members of the
ompanlcs , Is also attributed to Stotsen-
urg. This plan wns worked to a consld-
rable extent and Is said to'be responsible
or much ot the trouble with the Grand
sland company , where the flrst lieutenant
as rejected apparently to make room for
no of Stotscnberg's favorites who had just
olncd the company.
The unpopularity of the mustering officer
as been Increased by the report that ho
ccelvcd the order yesterday from the War
epnrtment to accept the officers appointed
iy the governor in splto of their physical
efects , and that acting under advlco of the
ovcrnor the order wns quietly pigeon-holed.
One of the men says he saw the message
vhcn It was received by Stotscnbcrg , and
ho story Is not doubted , as Congressman
Strode had already wired to Colonel Blschof
hat the order would be made. Had the
nustcrlng officer followed the Instruction all
bo rejected officers would have been rcln-
tnted. The matter was 'discretionary with
ho governor , however , nnd he seems1 to
mvo preferred to stand by his last appoint
ments and drop the rejected officers.

REMARKABLE ADVANCE FOR ONE DAY
Oarer * Jnmtr at Any Offer and the
Climb ftteadlty Until an
Average Increaie of Over
Twenty Cent * Hcnull * .
Hogs sold like hot cakes at the stock
yards yesterday , the prices paid being
higher than for years. The receipts num
bered ninety-five cars , 6,705 head , and after
the bidding commenced the pens were soon
empty.
A marked advance in provisions Wednesday -
day and bullllsh reports from other markets
yesterday morning paved the way for a
rapid advance In the hog market. Neither
salesmen nor buyers could determine with
any accuracy the effect Wednesday's big
rise In provisions should have on hog
values , and the result was n wldo spread In
bids , sales and the prices asked. Sales
were rondo from 10 to 30 cents higher , with
the bulk of sales nt a 20-ccnt advance. Th <
quality offered was good , being fully up to
the average , but weight cut little figure.
Even with the rapid sates and the marked
advance there was no especial excitement
at the exchange , sales being made so quickly
that there was no opportunity for haggling
;
over the price. As soon as nu offer was
made It was snapped up. As was to be ex
pected , the early sales were nt the lowest
prices , but as the day advanced competition
waxed hot and prices went upward with n
jump. Wednesday night the market closed
nt $4 and opened at about the same figure
yesterday morning , although a few of the
early sales were made at $4.03. The top
price paid was $1.30 , but the bulk sold for
from $4.ir to $4.20. The average price paid
on Wednesday was $3 , 7 , while the average
price yesterday was $4.18 5-8 , a net gain of
j
i
.
,
while the top price was paid for animals I
weighing 240 pounds. Hogs under 200
pounds sold up to $4.23 as n result of the
sharp competition , which shows that neither
quality nor weight was considered to any
great extent. On account of the small re
ceipts the market closed early at the top
price , although late advices from Chicago
were rather bearish.
July pork closed $1.10 per barrel higher
than on Tuesday night , having taken a
:
Jump ' of 33 cents yesterday. Lard went up
J'
75 cents per 100 pounds over Tuesday's clos- j
Ing , and Is now higher In proportion than
hogs. Big receipts arc looked for today.

to Tampa , will get ou : tomorrow.
The removal ,1s progressing slower than

tween twelve and twenty carloads of pro
visions for the volunteers are arriving
da'ly. Almost every vacant building in the
city is bslng used for storage purposes.
The Soddy coal company of this city has i

might not remain at that place more than a
day. The indications are that all available
regulars will be put into Cuba without de

morning of May 11 , In latitude 40.50 , longl-
tudp 68. n long , low-lying crntt was seen
approaching under the shadow of the
Mennntlo's smoke. H cnmo along rapidly
and wns seen to bo a torpedo boat. H
flashed n light on us nnd crossed under our
stern , going to the enst-norlheast , and fired
a rocket , which wns answered to the south
by dot nnd dash flashes. The night was too
dark to distinguish anything or define the
nationality of the stranger. At daylight ,
about twenty miles off Nnntuckct south
shoal lightship , another torpedo boat wns
seen In the line of the sun , nlilch dazzled
the water too much to make out Its color.
It wns one of the class of torpedo catchers
nnd a very largo boat with ono funnel.
Guns wcro mounted on the bow. U np-
pcnred to bo ono of the recent English typo
of torpedo destroyers nnd I nm sure there
Is no vessel of Its clnss in the American
navy. "
The Mcnnntlc ran close to the lightship on
Nnntucket and reported the presence of HIP
torpedo boats.

TAMPA , Fin. , May 12. The cavalry regi
ments from Chlckamnugn , the flrst train
load of which Is expected tp arrive In
Tampa Into this nfternoou , will bo encamped

fantry regiments has not been definitely de
cided : upon , although It is quite probable
they will encamp near the cavalry. The
place selected Is convenient to the railroad
nnd Is fully three miles nearer the Port
Tampa docks than the camping grounds
of the Infantry already hero. The Orizaba ,
the big Ward line steamer which has been
nt quarantine station down the bay for sov-
cral days , passed Into the slip near the coal
docks lost night , and today took on a full
supply of conl. The work of fit
ting It for transport duties will be
rushed to a conclusion. Including the
Olivette and Gussle , both of which boots nro
expected here by tomorrow night , a fleet
of eleven transports will bo gathered at
J prt Tampa , ready for the embarktlon.
These boats , can easily carry a forc9 of from
7,000 to , 8,000 men with about 2,000 horses
and mules.

mission , to send twenty-five or thirty Salva-
tlon lassies , all ot whom , It Is asserted , arc

Permission , It Is said , was refused , although
U was Intimated that after the troops got
into Cuba there would bo no objection to the
Salvation army nurses , should any be re
quired.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
[ A TALK WITH WS. riNKIIAM. ]
A woman with the blues isn very tin-
coinfortnble pcnsoii. She Is illogical ,
unhappy nt d frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known ns
" the blues , " nearly always , with wo
men , results from dUca&uil organs of
generation.
It is n bourcc of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science , any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
outness in women. Thi'M ! troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn , Mass. , to Mrs. 1'inkhum for her
odvice.f Her advice is thorough com
mon sense , and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Head the story of Mrs. F. S. ULNNKTT ,
Westphalia , Kansas , as told in the fol
lowing letter :
" IIKAH Mus. PINKIIAM : I have suf
fered for over two years with falling ,
enlargement and ulceration of the
womb , and this spring , being in such
a weakened condition , caused me to

ago , urged by friends , I wrote to you
for advice , ftcr using the treatment
which yon .advised for n short time ,
that terrible How stopped.
"I am now gaining strength nnd
flesh , and have better health than I
have had for the past ton years. I
wish to say to all distressed , buffcr-
ftig women , do not suffer longer , when
there is one to kiud uiul willing to
