Thoro were no new cases nf im.n. i

to quarantine nvery placo where the disease
Is said to exist. Mayor Piatt stated this

It was useless to continue tho guard there
If no guards were kept at all the other

LINCOLN, Deo. 6. (Special.) The re
gents of the Unlmalty of Nebraska are
contemplating the construction of a build
ing fur tho department f physics, ooutin
gont, of course, upon tho action of tho leg
islature. For this building and for mnktng
all neivHsary repairs and Improvements on
university property tho regents will ask
the legislature for authority to expeud
$105,000. This amount may bo allowed with
out Increasing tho amount of university
money already provided for by legislative
enactment. A building of the nature
plnnncd by the regents would cost approxi
mately $&0,000.
Tile outtro rovenuo of tho university will
be derived from tho various endowment
and trust funds and from n ipeolal 1-mlll
lovy authorised hy the Inst legislature, The
1-mlll levy will return $348,000 tn two years
and the trust funds $197,000, making a, total
of $616,500, none of which will come from
tho general fund. Tho regonta will ask for
authority to expend the entire amount, It
being tholr Intention to lncreaso ths appro
priations for salaries and wages for cur
rout expenses aud tor Improvements,
The faculty of ths university has united
In a request for tho construction of a build
ing for the department of physics, which
now occupies tho basement and third floor
of Nobraska hall. It is said that the con
stant vibration of the Nobraska hall Inter
feres with the working of tho scientific ap
paratus, making It almost Impossible to
conduct many dellcato experiments.
At Its next meeting the Doard of Rogentn
will consider further the plans for tho new
building and probably arrlvo at some dod
ntto conclusion. At tho saino meeting the
proposition mado tomo tlmo ago by Chau
collor Andrews rolatlvo to providing for a
special Incidental fco to bo charged all stu
dents will bo considered. This plan con
templates providing a semoster feo of $3
for each studont, all mouoy so derived to
be turned Into tha cash fund for defraying
the Incidental expenses of the institution.
The plan was suggested to the Board of Re
gents several weeks ago, but no action was
taken at the tlmo.
Historical Society Needs.
The State Historical society will ask the
next legislature for an appropriation of
$13,000. Secretary Jay Amos Barrett said
today thnt ho considered this a very modest
and reasonable request.
"Tho Historical society Is passing
through a very critical period," said Mr.
Barrett. "It has reached that point whore
expansion is absolutely necessary. We
will ask tho legislature for a slightly In
creased appropriation, but It Is no moro
than wo absolutely need and I believe wo
will get It. Our appropriation two years
ago was $5,000 and four years ago only
$3,500, both Inadequate for tho purpose.
During tho next two years wo want to have
a lot of accumulated books and newspa
pers bound at a cost of about $1,000. We
should bo given a fund of $300 for buying
old books and newspaper files.
"Very few pcoplo Beem to appreciate or
realize what the Historical society Is doing.
Our rooms hero are filled to their ca
pacity with old books, newspapers and
documents, which should bo catalogued, a
work which would keep one porson steadily
engaged for many months. Under the ap
propriation mado two years ago I havo boon
permitted to employ only ono porson for a
few hours each day, whllo thero has been
work enough for two or threo persons.
"Of the total appropriation the society
will ask for an allowanco of $760 to de
fray tho expenses of collecting, compiling
and publishing tho records of tho Nebraska
constitutional convention hold tn 1875. Tho
original records of this convention wero
destroyed, but by editing and correcting
tho reports which appeared In tho dally
nowspapors at tho time It would bo por.slblo
to preparo another report almost as relia
ble and complcto as the original. To do
this It would bo necessary to submit copies
of tho newspaper reports to all living mem
bers of tho convention, who would correct
them from memory and supply any missing
details."
More fltrlna-ent Came Laws.
Farmers of western Nebraska aro be
ginning to agitate the passage of an act
which will prevent the shipment of quail
and prairie chickens beyond the boundary
lines of tho counties In which they are
caught or killed. Such a measure will
probably bo Introduced In the next legisla
ture. The men who are urging the passage
of a law with that object In vlow say that
tho tlmo Is not far distant when the game
will bo practically extlnot It radical steps
are not soon taken to prevent the wholesale
slaughter for tho eastern markets.
"Our garao laws need strengthening In
many places and especially where thoy co
cern the shipment of game fowls," said ono
of tho men Interested In tho proposed law.
"In one county In western Nebraska over
2,600 dozens of quail have beon shipped to
eastern markets, and as a result thero will
bo practically nono of that class of game
loft In that vicinity next ytar. Kvery dairy

THE LITTLE SICKNKSSES
Which firniv Into UIk Ones,
A llttlo cold In tho head Is a trifle, bul If
neglected and It bangs on from week to
week and gets Into the throat and lungs It
Is no longer a trifle. It Is then no longer n
slight cold, but the beginning of chronic
catarrh.
Do not mako the mistake of thinking you
havo no catarrh because the head and nose
appear to be clear. If there Is cough,
tickling In tho throat, hoarseness or n
sense of oppression tn the chest, you havo
throat and bronchial catarrh. It the np
pctltu Is poor, nausea, gagging and disgust
for food, cspeclaly In tho morning, you
have catarrh of tho stomach,
Tho surest and safest treatment for
ovory form of catarrh Is nn Internal rem
edy which acts especially on tho blood and
mucous membranes.
Such n remedy Is tho now catarrh euro,
sold overywhero by druggists under name
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, a medicine in
pleasant, convenient tablet form and con
taining all tho best and latest specifics for
catarrh, whether located In nose, throat,
bronchial tubes or stomach.
Stuart's Catarrh TabletB nro composed of
Sangulnarla, gualacol, red gum and similar
antiseptics, which destroy the germs of ca
tarrh In the blood, and no ono who suffers
from any form of catarrh and has seen tho
uselcssncss of sprays, douches and powders
will ever go back to them after once trying
so convenient, pleasant and harmless a rem
edy as Btuart's Catarrh Tablets and ono
which gives relief In so short a tlmo.
Even In cases where catarrh has affected
the senses of smoll and hearing, these tab
lets accomplish a cure, because the blood
being cleansed of catarrhal germs, the
mucous surfaces of tho rioso and throat no
longer clog tho respiratory passages with
catarrhal secretions.
All druggists soil full sized treatments of
Stuart's Cetarrh Tablets for tho nominal
price of 60 cents, and the regular dally use
of them will effectually euro this trouble
some and dangerous dlseaso.
of tho stato havo men regularly employed
to kill gnmn for tho market. Other states
prohibit the shipment of certain species
nnd Nebraska should ennct similar legisla
tion beforo It Is too lato to remedy the
ovll. It should be mnda unlawful for nny
railroad, express or transportation com
pany to accept for shipment nny consign
ment of rnro game, nnd n penalty should be
provided for violation of this provision. It
would nlso be well for the legislature to
provide better nieann for enforcing nil of
the existing game laws. During the Inst
summer they were wholly disregarded In
many counties and game was killed by the
hundred and shipped eaet out of season. A
Warden should bn appointed to enforce tho
laws and to prosecuto oil persons found
violating them."

SCHEMES TO SAVE NEBRASKA ITS SIX
O Basalt I on to the Cramparker Hill
Mapeeta tu Orajnnlae to Preserve
at Least Rxlatlna; Member
ship In Congress.
WABHINOTON, Dec. 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Republicans In congress whose
slntes will suffer should tho basts of rep
resentation tn congress bo placed at 145,000
or upwards are determined to wake n fight
for tho present basis and purpose holding
meetings In tho near future to plan for
systemntlo opposition. Congressman Bur
kott, who has given considerable study to
tho Nebrnskn situation, In talking about
tho matter said: "Thcro Is no doubt but
that tho genoral sentiment Is against In
creasing the roll of membership In tho
hot-so. Members think the house Is al
ready largo enough and Is unwieldy and
undoubtedly n strong effort will be made
to keep tho total down to what it Is now,
but thero may be some things to overcome
this sontlmunt whon wo eet to a discussion
'of tho question. It must not be forgottctij
that upon the apportionment now made
will depond tho electoral college for the
next ton years, aa well as tho makeup of
tho houso, and It will bo very easy to legis
late an Increase of several members for
olther party In the electoral college. Of
course, I surmise that the republicans
will try not to give .tho democrats any un
necessary advantogo In numbers in either
placo. If tho present membership of 867
should bo retained and an apportionment
bo mado on that basis, considering that
tho states would go politically as they did
at the laut election, the republicans would
lose In the electoral collego one voto each
from Indiana, Kansas, Maine. Michigan,
Nebraska and Ohio, or a total of six, and
would gain one each from Illinois, Mtnne
sota, Now Jersey and Now York, or a total
of four, thus leaving them with a net loss
of two.
Opposition 'Woold Win.
"On tho other hand, by this arrange
ment tho democrats would lose ono each In
Kentucky, South Carolina and Virginia,
making a total loss of threo, and would
gain one In Colorado, Louisiana and two
In Texas, or a total gain of four, leaving
them a net gain of one, while the repub
licans would have a net loss of two. If the
basis for membership should be S89 the
republicans would lose four and gain
oleven, a net gain of seven, whllo the
democrats would loso one and gain sit, a
net gain of five.
"If the membership were placed at 89S
no state would loso anything In Its delega
tion nor tn the electoral college, for tho
republicans would gain twenty-four and
the democrats would gain fourteen. This
latter Is the best number of the threo to
settle upon from a republican standpoint."
Upon tho question whethor tho disfran
chisement of southern voters would enter
Into tho reapportionment matter Mr. Bur-
kott said It wbb a subject for serious con
sideration. R. B. Schnoldcr of Fremont is In tho city,
having come on from Now York nnd Phil
adelphia, whero he has bocn tho last week
completing negotiations for eight acres nf
South Chicago property along tho Calumet
river for a new olevator site. Negotiations
wero almost comploted with the Chicago
representative of tho Drexel estate, when
the representative suddenly died and all
negotiations were brought to an end. Mr.
Schneider has been in Philadelphia for sev
eral days and now thinks the deal Is about
closed. It la tho purposo of his elevator
company to erect a 1,000,000-bushol plant.
Ho said ho knew nothing nbout tho Ne
braska senatorial situation; that ho had re
mained neutral during tho campaign and
proposed to continue along tho same lino.
Mr. Schneider Is In Washington to make

Congressman Mondell appeared before the

urge an appropriation of $260,000 for tho

creek In Wyoming. Mr. Mondell urged that
this reservoir should bo the first of the gen

construction of storage reservoirs In each
