(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,

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. Itryan'a Campaign Speeche.

II. T. Unliblna on Divorce.
H. T. 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.

BEATRICE, Neb., Oct. 12. (Special Tele
gram.) The Fulton bloodhounds which
were taken to Nnrka, Kan., yesterday to
trace the bank robbers who successfully
robbed the bank at that place early yes
terday returned to this city this morning.
The dogs traced the robbers to Hubbcll,
Neb., eighteen miles from the place of thu
robbery, where It Is presumed they boarded
the early Burlington train for Denver. It
Is hard to ascertain Just bow much tho
robbers secured, but It Is thought here
that the amount will reach close to $20,
000, as tho bank officials offer a reward of
$5,000 for their capture and conviction. It
Is the opinion of the bankers and the
officers who traced them that the robbery
was perpetrated by experts from Denver,
who had their escape planned according to
railroad time tables, and there seems to
be little or no hope of ever apprehending
them., a

' CHEYENNE. Wyo., Oct. 12. (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. Then tho demand of tho English
and home governments for cavalry horses
has had a stimulating effect upon the In
dustry and tho Wyoming horso of tho futuro
will command much hlghor prices and will
return to tho grower handsome profits.
