VIGILANCE AGAINST SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC State Hour it of Health Urge Mont Stringent Quarantine Bryan Arrange for Canppnlgn Speeches. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 12. (Special.) The pay roll of the Nebraska National guard for service during the ten days' encampment In Omaha exceeds the total appropriation by $333.92. Vouchers for $17,333.92 havo been presented to the auditor, but they are being held for further consideration. The legislative appropriation of $17,000 was for twelve days' encampment during the bl ennlum. It has been customary to hold a five or six days' encampment each year, but Adjutant General Colby thought rooro good would result from one ten days' en campment than from two of a shorter dura tion. Thore Is somo question as to whether the entire amount appropriated can bo used for the ten days' service, when the law contemplates twelve days' service. The matter will bo thoroughly Investigated by the state officers and a decision wilt be given next week. Certain It Is, however, thai all soldiers will not recelvo full pay far tholr services If the claims are dis counted, the soldiers will bo given vouchers for tho balance duo and these would bo referred to the next legislature. The mili tary department has not completed the financial statement of thu expenses of the encampment and It Is, believed that thore may no a shortage in the item or trans portatlon. The appropriation for moving the troops to and from the two encamp ments provided for Is $4,000. Whether or not this amount will cover the expenso Is r matter of conjecture, the claims of the rallrrnd companies not having been pre sent it j Members of the guard are entitled to pay for service during tho encampment on tho following per dlom basis: Brigadier genera), $15,07; colonels, $9,59; lieutenant colonels, $8.22; majors, $6.85; captains, mounted, $5.47; captains, not mounted, $4.93; regimental adjutants, $4.93; regi mental quartermasters, $4.93; first lieuten ants, mounted, $4.38; first lieutenants, not mounted, $4,11; second lieutenants, mounted, $1.11; second lieutenants, not mounted, $3.84; chaplains. $4.11;' pri vates, $1. To Slump Out Kniullpox. In view of tho possibility of a smallpox epidemic Secretaries Bailey, Johnson, Brash and Somers of the State Board of Health met In spsclal session with Oovcrnol" Sav age this afternoon and prepared the follow ing statement, urging the oxerclse of every precaution, both by physicians and citi zens: During the lust two years there has been h steadily Increasing epidemic nf smallpox throughout tlm United Stated. Many cases have hicn mllil. but It lius been amply demonstrated that from these mild ruses have often developed malignant rases, Pres ent Indications threaten, for the coming winter In Netir8k:i, u more wldesproaJ nl serious epidemic tbun lias been known in the state for many Sears. It cutrrrudlly in controlled by proper iuurantliie and Isolation, That It may Ira poHslblc to locate every case promptly the State Hoard of Health rms this day. In spoclnl Hession, re solved that It denitmds of every practi tioner of medicine In the state of Nebraska tint he or she shall report bv letter every ran of smallpox coming under his notice within twenty-four hours of his knowledge of said cut, such report to be addressed tt George H. Braah, M. D., Beatrice, secre tary of the board. ' It la further resolved by the board that failure to make such re port shall be sufficient cause under chap ter lv, article I, section 14, of the Compiled Statutes of Nebraska for 1901, for the revo. cation of tho certlltcato to practice medi etas In Nebraska of the party falling to make such report. The board further Insists that county boards of the sovcral counties bo organized, as provided for In chapter lv, article vll, section 6, of the Compiled Statutes of Ne braska.

Dobbins of this city has added his opinions to Labor Commissioner Watson's symposium on the subject of divorce legis lation. Ho says: "Tho laws of Nebraska relating to divorce place a premium upon conjugal Infelicity. In theory they are wrong, In that they permit of decrees being obtained on grounds that are comparatively trivial, and In prac tice they a re utilized as the media to per petuate many frauds upon the courts. There Is no real or ethical ground for making non-support a ground for divorce. Aban donment ousht not to be one unless the applicant can conclusively show that be or she was not to blame. The Nebraska divorce laws should provide that In default cases the county attorney enter an appear ance, Investleato and ,fully Inform the court. .Make the divorce laws more string ent. Make It more difficult to secure a di vorce and you lessen the number of hasty, 111 considered marriages. Reform can be brought about only 4y concerted action of those really Interested In tho work. I would suggest that sometime, between now and the next meeting of the legislature a commission bo named, by whom It Is Im material, but preferably by the governor or someone In authority, to revise and amend tho present chapter on divorce nnd to secure the enactment of a new code by the next legislative body."

TO COMPEL TRUSTEES TO BUY Grand Ialand Lodge of United Work men Institute Mandamus Proceedings. GRAND ISLAND, Nob., Oct. 12. (Spe cial.) In the district' court yesterday, Judges Thompson and Taut presiding, the mandamus proceedings of the local Ancient Order United Workmen committee against the trustees of. the grand lodge. Ancient Order United Workmen, for the purpose of compelling tho latter to carry out tho In structions and orders of the grand lodgo In the matter of the purchase of the Ancient Order United Workmen building of this city and tho location of tho permanent head quarters here, was taken up. Attorneys St. Claire of Kearney and Hall of Holdrege represented the trustees and Horth & Rvan of this city the local committee. At the session of tho grand lodge held at Nebraska City last May, the lodge de cided to permanently locate the headquar ters of the grand lodge In this city and to purchase the Ancient Order United Work men building at the stipulated price of $11. 000, after a vigorous fight, the principal contestants being Grand Island, Lincoln and Omaha. The committee, was Instructed to execute the transfer and pay over the money from the general fund of the lodgo. It appears that protests wero made and tho trustees at their next meeting failed to .carry out the instructions of the lodao on the ground that they might be personally responsible, It having been set forth that the grand lodge constitution and by-laws did not authorize the lodge to take such Action as it bad taken at the session at Nebraska City. It was then several months ago decided to resort to a suit In court, through a mandamus proceeding, compelling the trustees to carry iout tho Instruction of the grand lodge. The position taken by Attorneys St. Claire and Hall was that the grand lodge was not authorized by the constitution and by-laws to purchase real estate and that the building was not what It had been pur ported to be. The applicants for tho manda mus maintained nnd showed that the archi tect of tho grand lodge had Inspected tho building and found It perfectly satisfactory and nil that It had been represented to be and that there was no provision In the constitution and by-laws of the order pre venting tho organization from owning real estate. That was a right Inherent In overv person, association of persons, company or corporation to own the real estate neces sary for tho transition of Its business. The evidence was taken yesterday and last evening It was completed. The plain tiffs wore then given ten days In which to file their briefs; In lieu or oral argument, tho defendants were given a succeeding ten days to answer and the plaintiffs were given another flvo days In which to reolv to defendants' answer.

(Special.) Reports from tho Block ranges of Wyoming are very encouraging. In all parts of tho stato thero seems to be an abundant suppIv of grass, lato rains having placed tho ranges lu prlmo condition for winter feed ing. Cattlemen say the ranges of the stato aro In better shape at tho present time than ever before and they aro taking ndvantago of tho conditions. Shcopmen aro Jubilant dvor tho outlook, for Instead of bolng compelled to ship tholr Bhcep to market on account of a shortaco of range food, ns in farmor years, they can hold on and feel safe that tholr flocks will not want for food during the winter. Tho plentiful supply of rungo feed and the fact that larger iiuantltles of hay wero harvested this year than over before hai resulted In fewer lambs being sold to Colo rado feeders. Last year almost every flock master In tho southorn part of tho stato sold off his lambs to tho feeders, but thla fall they havo enough hay. both alfalfa and natlvo, to fatten what Iambs they wish to ship and also keep tholr hold-overs In prime condition, Cattlemen, or thoso that have been on tho market with beef stock, feel greatly encouraged over present conditions, and thero seems to bo a stronger mnrket In sight for those that nro lato In going to market. The prospect of higher prices In the spring will result In many cattlemen holding over until then before markotlne. Rising prices for horses has caused tho ranchmen of Wyoming to pay tnoro atten tion to tho animals that formerly were permitted to run at largo and rustle for themselves, A better grade of horso flesh. Is being raised now than formerly nnd hs thero Is a homo demand for draft honon many ranchmen nro Importing thoroughbred stallions and will breed up on this class of stock.
