TURNING THE SETTLERS IN THIS DIRECTIC Bln < rn AVoxt of IIio Mlaionrl lllv to Dcrltc Crcnt JU-iu-IH from the Inlliix or Men Who Conic to liny farms. Extending the limits of the homcscckcr excursions by the Northern Pacific nnd tl Great Northern roads Is not causing ar anxiety to the passenger officials of tl roads centering In Omaha. The oxtenslc will bo met by these roads In time for tl next excursion , March 1 , and there wl probably bo no effort In the future to restrl the Hold to the original llmltfl. H Is m anticipated that any rate war will follo\ \ unless the northern lines , again dlssatlsfU with their share of this business , seek to It crease It by making n lower rate , which cousldered not likely. By Including Pacific coast points wlthl the operation of the homcscokors' excursioi the northern roads have really done whi the southern lines would have thorn do. Is n concession the latter would have boc pleased to make could It have been dor without danger of disorganizing the trafll but now that the extension has rome fro other quarters It will bo gladly met and tl new order of things made permanent. "U IB Just what wo want , " said an Omal passenger man. "Thorn has never been more favorable year for bringing homi Beckers from the east to the agriculture grazing and mining lands of the west nt the roads In tali part of the country wolcon the opportunity they will now have to coi tribute to the further settlement of th Hcctlon. When a man can go to Florida ar buy an orange grove , paying for his tram portatlon nt the rate of $25 for the rour trip from Chicago , nnd when ho can go i Texas and other southern points and bt cotton lands at about the same rale , thoi is no good reason why ho should not all be privileged to go to the far west and set a homo there. "Some roads cxprctfl n fear that the 03 tension of these excursions will Increase tl field of operation by the scalpers , but thi Is all bosh. By the use of the Schastln ticket the work of the scalper can bo he ! douii to u minimum. Out of our hca\ business in this line last year the numbi of tickets which paraed Into the hands i the scalpers was Inflnltcsimally small. V liavo no fear on this score under the no order. Wo will meet the extension mai by the northern roads In time for our ne : oxcursloit nnd will do what wo can to brlr the renters from the eastern states out < the plains of the west , whcro they can hi a homo of their own nt a small figure. "Thrio isn't a state west of the MRSOU river which cannot accommodate thousam of immigrants. It will take several yea : of active work before even the states ai joining the river can bo said to bo ful nettled. Then , why shouldn't the rallroai make a low rate to homoseokers and gi them out hero ? If they do not desire 1 locate In Nebraska or Colorado let them j to the states farther west. It nil helps i 1mlId up the transmlssourl country and wl indirectly benefit this state as well ns a the railroads doing business in this Beetle of the country. " A larger number of harvcet excurslonls passed through on the morning trains tha for some time past. These excursions starti Tuesday , and , while some passengers wei carried on the afternoon trains of that da the hulk of them went through yesterday , tl afternoon trains also'carrying a goodly nun her. The Burlington did a good buslnei nnd the Union Pacific had to put on c extra car to accommodate them. The Ro ( Island traffic was also largo. The Burllngtc passengers -were going to the central ar north-central parts of Nebraska , with son for Colorado points. The Union Pacific tot Us passengers to western Nebraska and number to Colorado and Utah points. Tl Itock Island tratllc was largely for Kansi nnd Oklahoma. df ) IIIK- Depot CroiiiulH. The few old buildings which stood < the block Just north of the now depot of tl Union Pacific road are being moved awi In readiness to have that tract of groui graded. The rough work of the gradli will 0)0 done nt once , and It will bo llnlsln after the depot Is completed. There will i u good deal of filling In , and that can : done now.

Th Mgh point Wednesday , so far as knowi was -10 cents per dozen nt wholesale , but I cents was paid for several casas nnd I cents was the common price. The goner ; opinion se'oms to bo that If the cold wcathc continues the market will ho more apt t go up than down. .Many commission me are looking for eggs to go to DO cents pi dor.en. There Is not n scarcity of eggs i this market alone , but nil over the wes Lfcal dealers Kay they have telegraphed t KaiiFas City nnd St. Louis , hut the markol nro na barren there ns Jiere. Chicago per pie are ruling cgga shipped from Cnllfornl and aio paying good prices for them , toi Reports received from several Nobrasli points that usually ship n good many cast a day say there are scarcely enough eggs t supply the homo demand. There Is but on conclusion and that Is that the hens hav quit laving and consequently people mm do 'Without ' eggs , for u few days nt least , c pay fabulous prices for them. The present condition of the mnrkct lir made commission men rather lomlntscen One man said ho had 'been In business 1 Omaha for ton years nnd never saw egf as .high ns they are now.

LAW AS IT EXISTS IS A DEAD LETTE ! ( Mllrlnl * MitNt HeClolliiMl with An tlmrlty to Plm-o IiifiH'tlonn 1)1'- I'ntltT ' Aliiolutc Control. Dr. B. K. Crummer , secretary of the Slat Hoard of Health , In dlscussiiiR the propose sanitary legislation explains thu 1)111 ( H. 1 351) ) appropriating $1GOO for the use of 111 hoard to provlilo for expenses Incurred dm ing the present epidemic of smallpox said : "During December citizens of Nc brankn C'lty appealed to the govoruc State Hoard c as a member of the Health for assistance In stamping on smallpox. Wo had no funds for the put pose , but the governor . ilvlsod that wo talt suoh steps asvo could lawfully to quc the threatened epidemic. Dr. Towno wa appointed health Inspector for the state nn bpent six weeks in different places , tryln to enforce proper sanitary regulations. 1 \\as found that the expense already Incurrc could not bo met with an ordinary hcalt Mil nnd Its accompanying appropriation , n it could only apply to the future , hence th passage of an emergency bill. This enioi's oncy bill becomes a law without conforrln sanitary powers on the board. Wlthoti sumo mandatory law wo can only ailvla sanitary measures and have no power to their enforcement. "What wo need Is that the board have th power to enforce. Its demands , and provide penalty for these refusing to comply wit them. We found this necessary after ou experience at Nebraska City. Many peopl would not pay any attention to the rcguln lions of the health Inspector , and wo coul not enforce them. "Wo need in this state a sufficient appro prlatlon to omplay a state Inspector wh will keep the records of the board , compll statistics , and bu always at the call of local Itlcs whcro unusual epidemics of any kin occur. With this and some funds for print Ing and disseminating literature on saiilta tlon and public health the amount of sick ness In our state could bo much curtailc and many lives saved. "Tho supreme court of Georgia rocentl decided that the legislature of the nt.it may , in the excrclsu of Its police power ! confer on municipal corporations of th state authority to make find enforce ordl nancca requiring all persons within thel limits to submit to vaccination whonovr epidemic of smallpox Is existing or ma bo easily apprehended. However , fc municipal corporations to compel vaccinn tlon , the court holds they must have ex press authority from the legislature. "Therefore It would seem that If wo ar to have any power sufficient to absolute ! control a baxl epidemic wo must have sue authority as the health bill now bofor the house will give.
