LINCOLN , Nov. 3. ( Special. ) Every day
something new comes to light regarding the
management of the Hospital for the Immno
at Lincoln. The political nssestment. ! have
become so burdensome that a majority of
the employes are almost In open levolt. ami
vrlll support the republican ticket In the
coming election. In the Institution head
nurses get $25 per month aud second nurses
$23. An assessment just levied taxes these
employes $4.50 and $4.00 each. The female
nttcndants gel still smaller ealarlea , and
are assessed In proportion. It IK not known
that the high salaried oniclali ) make any
contribution to thn campaign fund aside
from the amount they ex'ort from the em
ployes. It Is certain , however , that they
mndo liberal contributions to the legislative
fund a year ago last winter , when an effort
was made to Increase the salary appro
priations for the principal officers , nnd tin-
fact that certain salaries \vero Incrtased
nftcr the legislature adjourned showed that
this fund was not all expende-1 in vain.
Shortly after the Exposure of Iho Howlck '
management of the hospital , a month ago , a
thango was noticed. Employes were not al
lowed to enter the dining room used by the
officials , for fear they would report the bill
of faro to outsiders. The Infirmary , which
was provided for two years ago , was hur
riedly fitted up In a way so that fsomo pa
tients could be placed therein , although
there was no excuse offered for the long
delay in having the work dono. In the
liable to satisfy public opinion before elec
tion day , patients were placed" the nc\v
quarters before the window bars were put
In , and In two cases patients crept through
these windows to escape , and sustained dis
located ankles In dropping down to the
Kround. Ono of these , while thus Injured ,
lay under the window until nearly daylight
before the guards discovered him. The two
patients , crippled In this manner , arc now
confined to their beds In the Infirmary , and
birs have been put up In the lost few days
to prevent other accidents.
IiiHiirancc Atccnt Doctor.
The outrage of keeping an Insurance
ogent at the Institution to act as chief
physician Is what Is attracting much public
attention. This agent-doctor , who draws
cne salary from the state as physician and
another from Holcomb's Insurance company
of which hp Is treasurer , halls from North
Loup , a village of 300 Inhabitants , where he
was regarded as mure politician than physi
cian. It. would take something more detlnltc
even than a veterinary advertisement to ex
plain , why he Is placed In charge of tht-
hclpttss Inmates of'a state Institution. It
IH asserted that his hasty examinations or
sick Inmates would scarcely do credit to
either a horse doctor or an examiner ot
cyclomi risks. Ono case Is cited where an
employe had been out on a drunk for two
days.and went to bed to recuperate. The
Insurant" agent , .who draws pay as a physU
clan , made ah examination ol the case and
reported that , the sick employe "had strotiR
symptoms of typhoid fever , " and made a
prescription for this ailment , which of course
was not taken. The matter Is treated as r
rich Joke by the employes , who rate Ucwlclc
and the Insurance agent at their true value.
Joseph ' .rnirn3.on6r ; > it-tk'e repub'llcaucan ' - -
didnles fjr the legislature from this county ,
has just received a se-ond letter from the
State Dairymen's association asking what at
titude hq would take In the legislature an
questions relating to the dairy interests of
the state. In speaking of the letter today
Mr. Burns said : "I was a member of the
legislature of 1895 and worked for the passage -
ago of the antl-buttcrlm > law that Is now
on the statute books. I have not changed
my mind since then , but It appears as If a
whole lot of the farmers In the state do
not want the dairy Interests protected. They
declare their Intention of walking up to
the polls and voting for a lot of men who
are on record as In favor of butterlue. In
this matter 1 shall be guided by thu farmers
of Nebraska. If a majority of them vote for
Iho buttcrlne crowd , then I will conclude
that the dairy interests do not desire pro
tection. The people who milk the cows and
those who run the churns have It In their
power tn decide this election. Next Tues
day will show whether or not the dairy In
terests deserve protection. "

WASHINGTON , Nov. 3. Secretary Algcr
today Issued the first order looking to the
mllltaty occupation of Cuba by the United
States troops. The order was Issued only
after careful consideration of the reports of
the military ofllccr now In Cuba and of
the Hecker board and other expert commis
sioners , who have been In the field. Ttie
order looks to the occupation of two points
to begin with , namely , Nuevltas nnd Puerto
Principe , but the occupation will bo ex
tended as rapidly as the Spanish evacuation
proceeds. The order directs the movement
to begin nt once , but. according to the cal
culations of the department , It will scarcely
bo possible to make the fl t landing betotc
November 22. Headquarters of the new-
corps , which has been created for the purpose -
pose of beginning the occupation , will be at
Nuovltas. under command of General L. H.
Carpenter. Ho Is now In command of the
cavalry brigade composed of the Sixth and
Seventh cavalry at Huntsvllle. The orCer
Is ns follows :
The headquarters of six troops of the <
Eighth United States cavalry and the Third I
Georgia volunteers will be at Nuevltas. |
Six troops of the Eighth United States cav
alry and the Fifteenth Infantry to Puerto
Principe.
The regiments will be prepared to embark
at once and the subsistence department will
rrr.il BO for the lu'r.esmiry rations' . The
command will bo equlppi. 1 ad rationed for
sixty days. Ths quartermaster general's de
partment will furnish the necessary wagon
transportation for use at their'new stations.
The surgeon general will make provision for
hospital nnd medical supplies.
Brigadier General L. H. Carpenter , U. S. V. ,
IB assigned to command these troops , with
headquarters at Nuevltas.
The cavalry brigade , composed of the Sev
enth and Eighth United States cavalry , la
discontinued. The Seventh Is assigned to
the First army corps and the Eighth to the
Second army corps. ' .
The Fifteenth United States Infantry Is de
tached from the Fourth army corps , an In
fantry brigade created , composed of the
Third Georgia volunteers nnd the Fifteenth
United States Infantry and designated as the
Second brigade , Third division. Second
corps.
The orders sending the Second brigade ,
Third division , Second corps , to Athens , Ga. ,
have been revoked.
The staff of General Carpenter's brigade
will consist of the following officers : Cap
tain John E. McMahon , assistant adjutant
general of volunteers , adjutant general ;
Captain William K. Alexander , assistant
quartermaster of volunteers , quartermaster ;
Captain William M. Loveland , commissary
of subsistence of volunteers , Commissary ;
Major William F. De Neldman , United States
volunteers , surgeon.
Neuvltas Is a seaport at the eastern end
on the northern shore of Cuba. Puerto
Principe Is located In about the central
portion of the province of the same name.
This general order has nothing to do with
the assumption of control of the island by
the United States , no change being made
from January 1 , the date agreed upon.
It was explained at the War department
that this first movement of troops to Cuba
was ordered In advance of the date orig
inally Intended for the reason that the Span
ish evacuation commissioners had unex
pectedly notified the American commission
ers thai 'they InTen'd'cd' t6"tcYa'cua'e { TtKer'fb
Pr'lnclpo on the'22d of tiip present month.
Consequently It became necessary to have
United States troops on hand In Cuba to
replace these Spanish force ? to maintain
order and protect life and property.
MIDWAY'S TI'UX TO SI'H.VD MOXUV.
ItnllroailN' Agreement T
Karen Still HolilH Omul.
The agreement of the local passenger men
to grant nothing Tower than two-thlrda of
regular rates for parties of five from the
Midway and other parts of the exposition
IB being maintained. So far there has not
been a single break heard. Chairman Caldwell -
well of the Western Passenger association
Is authority for the statement that this Is
the first time in the history of American
railroads that an agreement covering the
movement of so many passengers has been
voluntarily made and maintained by the
passenger men.
In speaking of the matter one passenger
man said : "The lines here have every rea -
son to fcrl proud of the manner In which
, this business has been handled. I doubt
If It could have been done lu any
city , for In no other city of this size will the
representatives of one line trust thoseol
.another line as they will In Omaha. The
agreement gives the Midway people a very
fair rate. Two-thirds of th ? regular fare is
as great a concession as they are entitled
to. Most of them have made a great deal
of money hero during the summer , an <
they might as well leave some of It with the
railroads that helped make the exposition n
success. One man from the Midway was
Just In our office kicking because our rates
were higher than those he got from Chicago
to New York after the World's fair. Bui
before going out hn admitted ho came tc
. Omaha with less than $5 and goes nwa >
with $5,500. I guess the two-thirds rati
won't hurt him. "

lion Fee Qutc gave an exhibition of bis
jugnllng. An hour or so nf social Inter
course followed , during which time the
representatives of two nations became toler
ably well acquainted.
Chlng Ling Fto was called for aivl responded
sponded by performing some of his \ory
cleverest tricks.
The party then adjourned to the atldl-
.torlum upstairs and 'Mrs. Howard Kennedy
entertained them with a few organ selec
tions. Then ( he congregation arose nnd
sang , "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name. "

? otne good came out of the Transmlssls-
elppl Exposition that wan not \ ' the eort
exactly expccte.l. When the exposition was
opened the Omaha & Grant Smelting nnd
Refining company piled up nn Immense pyra
mid of silver brick ? , one day's output of lt
Omaha plant. It kept this exhibit before
the public for llvn months , and has since
the close of the exposition disposed of the
lot at a price which , after computing and
adding Interest at the rate of t > per cent to
the prlco of the silver when the exposition
opened , amounts to a bonus of $1,200. A
pretty good return on an exhibit that was
Intended to be purely ornamental and in
structive.
