MORE DOCTORS AND NURSES AUTHORIZED Vlfca Boaae Start Another Case A cat Bat Father Marpky at "award to Raatrala Him from later feria ia tha Pariah. (From Btaft Correspondent) LINCOLN. Ort. . 8peclal.)-Th appeal of Superintendent Orwne of the Lincoln hospital for th Insane to the State Board of Publlo Lands and. Building for aaslst anca today disclosed the fact that the In stitution baa-a serious epidemic of typhoid fever which haa infected nineteen persona, who are now Isolated, with the possibility that manar more of the 600 patient mar have received the bacilli Into their sys tems. Dr. Greene said this afternoon that It I difficult to determine Just how wide spread the ravages of the disease will be because of the fact that It take two weeks for the Incubation of the bacilli, when once they hare entered the human system. The state board has authorised the use of every possible means In flchtlnr the disease. Ten of the patients are nurses and nine are Inmate of the institution. Miss Shoe maker, one of the nurses. Is not expected to live. The assistant superintendent, Pr. Hay, was . reported this afternoon to be exhibiting symptoms of the disease. The patient have been Isolated a well as pos sible under the prevailing; crowded condir tlons and erory effort is being; made to provide for a thorough disinfection. The water has .been boiled, the milk and food carefully tertllsed and a war of exter mination haa been made on the flies, which are believed to have carried the Infection from the nearby creek Into which the sewage of the institution Is discharged. The f y theory Is regarded by Dr. Greene as the best explanation of the Infection at present, although the pathological labratory is In use day and night In the effort of the physicians to determine the oause. Dr. Greene stated that the water supply Is se cured from deep wells going below the sandstone, and the reservoir was carefully cleaned. While water Is the most fruitful source of the bacilli, he does not believe that It I the cause of the present trouble, He says that he I satisfied that the milk is not .responsible, since every precaution has been taken. Today the disinfecting squad was sent out with Instruction to treat the reservoir and sewers with sul phate of copper in large quantities, the method prescribed by modern research. The female patients have been segre gated in one of the rooms lr the new building, while the men are kept In one of the wards of the main building. Thor ough Isolation has been provided and every possible effort will be made to prevent the spread of the Infection, Nurse Attacked Flrat. Miss Shoemaker was the first to exhibit the symptoms, of infection, about ten days ago. Four were seised yesterday and two suspects were on the lists this afternoon. The general nature of the Infection Is shown by the fact that those who have been Infected have had quarters In various portions of'the main administration build ing In which the major number of the 600 patients are kept. The Illness of the nurses threatens a handicap in fighting the disease. There are sixty nurses and the present va cancies are partially filled from applica tions on file. TJie State Board of Public Lands and Buildings authorised the su perintendent to employ the , necessary help and expend , the money needed to stamp out the disease.1' An effort is being made to secure nurse-' with special training in the care of typhoid patients. Dr. Greene authorised the statement that every possible aid known to medical science will be used In lighting the epi demic Ha Is hopeful that but few have been Infected and believes that further infection can be checked, although he ad mits the possibility of widespread distri bution of the bacilli may make the prob lem much more serious when the two- week Incubation period haa passed. Ko Hasty Action. J. L. Pierce, Insurance deputy In the ot- flee of the auditor, has Issued a statement designed to place a quietus on the fears that that department will act with too much haste In passing upon the situation growing "Out ot the Investigation In New Tork affairs of the "Big Three" companies.

New Deal a apply Rlda. Governor Mickey said ' today that the State Board of Purchase and Suppliea will put a new rule Into operation at the next quarterly meeting, which will make the sessions executive as far as the bidders are concerned. It Is planned to keep the Interested parties from - the room during th letting of the contracts to prevent a recurrence of the scenes of the recent meetings, when there was much confusion and dissatisfaction because of the tactics of certain bidders who Insisted on pre senting their samples at the same time, making calm deliberation Impossible. Boaaenm Mart New rase. Bishop Bonacum today began a new suit of ouster against Father Murphy of Sew ard In the district court of Seward county. In his petition the blsjiop prays for an In junction against Father N Murphy to re strain him from Interfering with any of the priests whom the bishop may send to take charge of tne parish property. He asserts that the title to the property right fully rests In the bishop, and that the de cree of excommunication against the priest has been reviewed by the higher authorities of the church at Rome and by them ap proved. root as tea Balleya Sentence. Today Governor Mickey commuted the three-year term of John Bailey, sentenced for purse-snatohlng at Omaha about four teen months ago, acting on the recom mendation of Judge Lee Estelle, who ad vised the governor that the man' offense was really grand larceny and not rubbery, because of the absence of force. Bailey claims that he Is Innocent and the governor Is Inclined to believe that he tells the truth. The man was released at noon and, at the suggestion of the governor, .went to the' executive office In the company of the warden. He was given some fatherly advice and left for his mother's home at Audubon, la., where be will have employ ment. Say He I Innocent. Governor Mickey received another budget of affidavits and statements bearing on the alleged Innocence of Charles Russell of Sioux county, who Is serving a life sen tence In the state penitentiary for the murder of Alois P. 8taudenmeler, a ranch man. A lengthy statement by A. H. Hugh- son, who lives near the scene of the crime and knew the parties, Introduces the start' ling theory that another person killed the deceased and then threw the blame on Russell In his attempt to escape. Hughson alleges that he had been told by certain individuals of a plot to murder certain members of the Russell family, and Intimates that there would never have been any murder had those Individuals re mained away from the White river. . Ten members of the Jury which convicted Russell present a signed statement that there Is grave doubt as to guilt and that the second degree verdict was brought In a compromise only after eighty-nine hours In the Jury room. One . of the Jurors, Nathan Broadhurst, alleged that he was threatened with bodily violence In order to compel him to accede to the verdict of guilty,- while another, John Sprachlln, was threatened with prose cution for perjury. Broadhurst swears that the compromise verdict was reached only after a verdict of disagreement had been reached and reported to the Judge, who ordered further deliberations. Then, he alleges, the verdict was agreed on only after all of the Juror had pledged them selves to sign a recommendation for clem ency -and an application to the governor for a pardon. The court Imposed a life sentence, overriding the recommendation of the Jury. L. K. Motes, a deputy sheriff who had Russell In his custody, makes a statement concerning . an alleged attempt by the state to secure testimony through unfair means. Albert WatUlna on Dona-la. Today at the State university Memorial hall, Albert Watkins delivered an address, "The Father of Nebraska." He spoke of Stephen A. Douglas In that connection. He gave many Illustrations of how Douglas compared with Lincoln and claimed that there never was a man before or since the latter's time that ' displayed greater determination to accomplish things. He said that Douglas was a leader, but that latef he was met and defeated and that he took his defeat like a man. His whole life was to accomplish things that tarould be beneficial to the atate, as well us the union, and In many Instances he mot with success, while in other cases, because of his attempts to do almost impossible things, he met with difficulties that made the movements unsuccessful. 'In the year ISM, after he had presented many bills to congress," said Mr. Watkins, he gave Nebraska territorial organization, Douglas was the Nebraska 'Job.' He was easily the leader of the dominant demo cratic party In his day and was a conserva tive worker. Hiverreat task was. to save the union and the pary at the same time, Thl undertaking afterward proved to be an Impossibility. The main difference that existed between Douglas and Lincoln, on the slavery question, was that the latter had a . more sympathetic feeling than did the father of Nebraska. This caused the making of one and the undoing of the other. , "In 1M4 he introduced the first bill for a movement to be made whereby Indians would not be sent to this territory. The country at this time was called 'Nebraska country' and more than 100,000 Indians were sent to this country at one time." Steele a Mole. Governor Mickey has honored the requl sttlon of Governor Folk of Missouri for a return to Andrews county of Thomas and Ida Mathews, who are alleged to have stolen one black Missouri mule, the prop erty of James II.

Barae HAD TO HIDE IT A mother wrote us recently that she had to keep Scott's Emulsion undr lock and key her children used to drink it whenever her back was turned. Strange that children should like something that is so good for them. It's usu ally the other way. Scott's Emulsion makes children comfortable, makes them fat and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps that's why they like it so much they know it makes them feel good. SCOTT ft BOWNK, m rrl Svaal. New York, D. Barnes of Tecumseh. Mr. Barnes Is aged 71 years.

(Special.) Two strangers struck this place yester day afternoon from Sioux City and after rushing the can a few times started In on a begging and pilfering tour of the town. One of them, named W. E. Fox, wound up in the "bum" cell of the court house, which soon after his Incarceration was found to be on fire and if It had not been for the active work of Marshal Bler mann the court house would probably have been consumed by fire and Fox suffocated. He had set fire to the bed clothes and then gave the alarm. When the marshal arrived the cell was well filled with smoke and Fox was gasping for breath through the Iron door. Fox claims his residence as St. Louis, but for-- a month past has been In Sioux City, the last work he did being at the Garretson hotel as vegetable man, closing his career there with a big drunk a week ago Saturday night, for which he served five days on the charge of Intoxication. He also . claims to have worked at the Novelty restaurant as waiter and at the Armour packing house. Among other appeals for victuals and money he made . to residents, , to C. R. Hart he claimed to be soliciting funds for the Ep worth league and Christian Endertvor so cieties, but when requested to produce his credentials he commenced to cry. While talking to Mr. Hart he took from his pocket and tore up a paper and threw It away, which wa gathered up and put to gether and was found to be his marriage license, which shows his marriage to Clara Lang at Princeton, Ind., on November 28. 1900. . Fox's pal, whom Fox says he first met on the street car to Sioux City while both were going over to work on the Great Northern railway, busied himself by going Into a number of houses. At the home of W. S. Baughman he took a new lantern and later sold it to R. O. Hileman, a farmer. The house of Mark Fair was also ransacked, but nothing Is reported miss lng. The big haul was made at the home of Rev. Elmer E. Shaffer, Methodist Epis copal pastor here, where two pairs of trousers were taken belonging to Rev. Mr. Shaffer, also Mrs. Shaffer's gold watch and a coin collection. The bureau drawers were ransacked and contents scattered over the floor. Mr. and Mrs. .Shaffer wer In attendance at Eastern Star lodge In the afternoon when the thief visited their premises. Upon their return home they at once notified Sheriff Hansen, who traced his man as far as Sioux City, where he had gone on the train, and notified th I Bloux City officials.
