Fear of Contagion. The "hoof and mouth" disease, so prev alent among cattle In the New England atates and against which many of the states In the west have quarantined, need occasion no alarm among cattle and stock men In Nebraska, wa the statement 1s aued from the office of the state veterinary surgeon thl morning. While aome of the surrounding states have quarantined against the disease, Nebraska will not do o, for the officials do not believe there Is any danger of the disease reaching here. "We see no occasion for alarm," said Dr. brought to the attention of the legislature Thomas, "and therefore will establish no early in the session In order that thiy may ouarantlne. u would Interrupt traffic and not be overlooked or forgotten. , "J "i ,t Many inconvenience arise irom ine that the fiscal year commences on the first dAy of December, Instead of the day upon which the treasurer assumes the duties of the office. Thl mare It necessary for each treasurer to report more than a tnontn's business Of-- hi predecessor's, which Im bungUsome and, unbusinesslike. At the date of the biennial report as now fixed by stat ute the temporary school fund ha not been apportione.1 and distributed, thu rendering the grand total balance on hand unnecessarily large. 1 therefore suggest that section 9, article Iv, of the compiled tatutea of, Nebraska be repealed and that a legislative enactment txj passed fixing the commencement of the fiscal year on the same Uate as the . trsiallatlon of state) Warns Insurance Men, From out of the offlco of the Insurance department of the auditor's office come a warning for all Insurance agent who are doing business without a certificate from the auditor to get their certlflcatea or quit doing business.

A constitutional mendment authorizing Investments In mu nicipal and school district bonds, coupled with a provision for the deposit of any un jivesied balance In depository banks, would A least be a partial solution for this dlffl- uK problem.

Confirmed criminal though he Is, George Jacobs, alia Charles William, shuddered perceptibly when Judge Frost sentenced tiim to twelve years In the penitentiary. Williams waa recently convicted of hlahwav robbery, alleged to have been committed upon Edward Gelsler In this city one night last March. At hta trial Williams tried to prove an alibi and sought to refute the testimony of the police, which went to show a confession by him of the crime charged. ' The fact that he hid been In prison three time before evidently counted more with the court than did the prisoner' rather prepossessing appearance. Mrs. Seekrest Will Attend. Mr. Serhrest, the missing witness In the Zorn murder trial at Kansas City, will yol untarlly attend the postponed trial when it comes up January next. She left thl city, where she had been stopping with her parent a'.nce it wa discovered that she did not commit suicide by drowning at Leavenworth, today for Glen Rock. Kan., where she will visit with her first husband, whose name Is Shifter and who la a tele graph operator. Mr. Securest says that he was prompted to the deception by mean of which she (ought to lead people to believe that she had drowned herself, bv fear of Zorn, who bad murdered' her hue band before her eyes, and who bad threat ened her life If she did not leave Kansas City. 8h ha been In correspondence with the prosecuting attorney at Kans City for some time and goes back voluntarily Article of Incorporation have been filed the depot safe had been blown open and a horse and buggy had been stolen. The sheriff located the horse and buggy near Crete, at which place a tore had been robbed that night. The earae night a handcar waa stolen at Crete, and on the following day It wa found near Lincoln. Cashier Harris Appeals. Joseph A. Harris, who, as cashier of the Farmers' bank of Custer county, it Is al leged swore to false statement In regard to the condition of the bank, and who wai sentenced to the penitentiary for one year, has appealed his case to the upreme court.

A com plete list of physicians who are eligible to practice In Nebraska Is being compiled and when that la completed, all who are not on the roll will be prosecuted. During the week three physicians were found in Omaha practicing their profession without a li cense. These men were, .capable of secur ing a license from the state board, but had neglected to do so. In the future all such will be prosecuted vigorously. Today 11- cenaea were granted to fourteen physi cians and one osteopath. Retain Present Officials. After a visit to the state inetition at Lincoln, Hasting and Beatrice. Governor- elect Mickey announced this afternoon that the present superintendent at these place would be retained. These are: Dr. J. L. Greene, Lincoln; Dr. Hern, Hastings, and Dr. Johnson, Beatrice. Upon other ap pointments Governor Mickey refused to commit himself. "The tlms of the oil in spector doe not expire until May," said Governor Mickey, "and there 1 no reason for an appointment at this time. As to who will be the next warden at the penitentiary, I do not know myself. I made no pledges to anyone during the campaign and have promised no one a place.

This amount multiplied by 556.S, the average dally number of patients present during, the two years shows the net saving to the state of $35.02." The report shows there has been treated a total of 1,213 patients during the two years. The Increase In the number of patients Is due to the destruction of the asylum at Norfolk. The asylum now has 100 more patients than normal. The legis lature appropriated $1.),675 for maintenance and Improvements upon the estimate that the maximum number of patlenta would be 4E0 the first year and 400 the second.

An Important decision on life Insurance Is announced In the supreme court In tho case of the Royal Neighbors of America against Wallace, an error case from Dodge. The court adheres to Its former ruling of reversal, announced at the last term of court, but changes Its mind materially as to the rule that applies to answers to ques tions In the application. The matter turned upon whether these answers are warranties or merely representations. The court says that the proper rule Is that the asking of a question by the company Is a declaration that the fact sought to be elicited by the question Is material and the answer by the applicant, when he procures a policy to be iBsued Is an assent to Its materiality, tho form of application and the policy con stituting an agreement that the statementa are material to the risk. This still leave It open, says the court, to the determina tion of the jury whether the answer was true, and if not true, whether the variance waa material to the risk. It Is not for the Jury, however, to say that the answers, though substantially untrue, were never theless Immaterial. t'oold Dodge No l.onarer. A point that the court naively admits It has hesitated about deciding before and has not gone out of its way to pass upon, 1 formally decided In the case of Haslack against Wolff, from Platte county. It is a matter of commercial law and the question at Issue was whether a note in which tho signer obligates himself to pay the Bum named with exchange on some point other than that which It Is payable Is negotiable or not. There are many decisions on both Bides of the case, but the Nebraska court says that it considers those which hold that such a note 1 negotiable a being the better reasoned and founded. It says that exchange Is a mere Incident, analagou to attorney's fees and cost of suit. Cannot 'Waive Some Rights. Commissioner Oldman make it very plain that the supreme court of Nebraska Isn't going to bow Its head In acquiescence to a rule of law simply because the English court of chancery haa laid it down. In a case which brings up. once more the ques tion of whether an award by arbitrators Is a step precedent to an action on an in surance policy, Mr. Oldham, In commenting upon a holding of the lord chief justice in the affirmative, says: . "This court will not strain the pro visions of the construction of the state nor go contrary to a line of well-settled de cisions merely to place Itself In touch with the House of Lords. Neither will It open a leak In the dyke of constitutional guar antees that some day may carry all away." The point was Insisted upon In two caacs. one ol the Hartford Fire against Hon, from Lancaster, and the other, the Phoenix against Zlatsky, from Dodge. The effect j of the decision Is to absolutely nullify what Is known among Insurance men as "ths New York standard form" of policy. Each ' of these policies contains a provision that neither can maintain a suit after breach until all differences have been settled bv arbitration. The court holds that this is void and not enforclble, for the reason that It ousts the court of their jurisdiction. A man, the court says, cannot barter awav substantial rights; be can't bond himself In advance to waive the right of the trial by jury. The Insurance companies con tended that while the question of liability could not be waived by contract, yet he was free to attpulate tat the loss be fixed by other than a resort to the courts, but the supreme court says thl cannot b3 done In Nebraska. Penalty Clause Valid. The court holds that the act of the leg islature imposing a penalty of $50 for fal -ure on the part of a mortgagee to release or record a mortgage that ha been satis fied i constitutional. The point wai squarely raised In the case of VrnDu7S against Mellinger, an error case from Kear ney, In which a direct attack waa made uoon the law aa not being proper arr.enda'ory legislation. The court say that the amend ment wai embraced In the proper rcope of the legislation, la germane to the sub ject matter and' doe not contravene that section of the constitution rela lng to tha title of bill!. It says that it wis edcntlv added to give effect to thi provision, thtt when paid a mortgsge must b relas-vl. as the mortgagor woulj be powerlest unlesi there was a penalty atta hed for n n compllance. Heirs Cannot Recover. Ths heirs of John E. Neu of Otoe county will not recover any damags f om that county because of hit death. Neu went through a country bridge with s threshing outfit and waa killed. His estate contended that the bridge was Insecure and unsafe for ordinary travel and while the thresher oumi waa nve times as heavy as rny cr dinary lead !t was the du'y of the county t build its bridge, in antlclpitlon' of the proper accommodation of th pub le at large In the. various occupatiom which from time to time may be puraud in the local ity. The court holds that the Jur. having found that this was an unu ual nr In. which the county was ntt bounl to antic ipate, this was binding. There w . no evidence that Neu had raid he bad cr -.M the bridge five time and that the time before he had thought ho was going lurvuau, out was iu ky acd came cut all right.

The volume of business, as sh.iwn by the receipts, lias In creased about 50 per cent and Is still grow ing at a gratifying rate. I hnve endeav ored to maintain, and have, 1 think, In some measure succeeded, the high character of the service. An extension of the free de livery by an Increase of carriers for city and country from four to ten has been productive of good results and proved most gratifying to patrons of th.' ofitce. This tind other Improvements from time to time have made it possible to give a tlrst-class service. I desire through you to think the de partment for Its pnrrpt response to every rejest made by me for the betterment of the work. .My relatlors with every official heve been pleasant and cordial. While I i have renson to regret leaving the service. my private business has grown to such proportions that 1 cannot in Justice to It and myself longer continue In office. With assurance of my high regard, I am sin cerely yours, KUS8 L. HAMMOND. The resignation Is made pursuant to the. "understanding" at the time he was re appointed that he would resign on or be fore January 1, 1903, and that ex-Kcpre-sentatlve Dan Swanson would be his suc cessor, and it is expected that Ewanaon's appointment will be sent to the senate very soon. All of the employes of the office, except the deputy postmaster, are under civil service, so there will be but one change In the office force. stork and commission business at Prad shaw, thia county.

An Impressive recitation was given by Mrs. Irene Libby, and s work conference wa conducted by the state organizer on "How to Build Up the Suffrage Club."

(Special.) Seven most cleverly forged checks have Just been discovered among the returned checks at the office of the American Beet Sugar company In this city. It Is plain that some person or persons, early In Novem ber, swindled someone out of $200 In one of the smoothest attempts of the kind ever witnessed here. The bookkeepers at the factory discov ered it. They checked back the checks that had been paid and found that some numbers were wrong. The numbers of the checks did not correspond with the numbers on the stubs and then it was that the dis covery that someone had forged the com pany's checks waa first made. The seven checks were returned to the office of the sugar company by the First National bank. Some of them had been taken directly to the Grand Island Banking company by the forgerB and others were cashed by business men. By tho Grand Island Banking company they were taken to the First National, cashed and charged against the company. All of them were cashed about November 8 to 10, alnce which time no spurloun checks have come In. The paper is of the same shade of opaline, of the same general. texture, the signatures of Mr. Ferrar and of Mr. Nicholson were both most carefully Imitated; the printed form was generally the same, and appears to have been taken from an electrotype made after the original lithographed form; tho same general form and style of letter ing was used on tho printed forgery, and in all the work was so cleverly done that It might have even passed through the books of the American Beet Sugar company had it not been for the counterchecks that it necessarily had to meet there as to the number of corresponding stubbs, amount of corresponding stubs, etc. The fact that all seven are tor $31 or $32 Is explained by those Interested as evi dencing a desire to represent them as checks paid for labor, as the factory pays Its labor twice a month and the amounts are about what tho ordinary unskilled la borer receives. There is no clue whatever to the guilty parties. POULTRY SHOW IS A SUCCESS Good Attendance and Fine Lot of Fowls at Initial Exhibit at Colninbus. COLUMBUS, Neb., Dec. 4. (Special.)

KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. 4. (Special Tele gram.) A telephone message was received at the city hall about noon today to the effect that a dog had brought to the section house In the eastern part of the city a woman's hand. Officer Gibson and Sheriff gammons, who chanced to be present, went to the place at once and brought the mem ber In. They were unable to find out where the dog had obtained the gruesome object. fThe hand Is that of a woman and had been amputated about two Inches above the wrist Joint. Around the wrist Is fastened a string by which the member had evidently been auspended in a Ja' of alcohol or other liquid for preservation, and from which the Indi cations are it waa but recently removed.
