This action has been taken In order to diminish alcoholic excesses, which very materially Increases the liability of cholera Infection and he general spread of tha disease.

The diseas resumed Its march on Saturday, th statistics posted showing that from Satur day noon until Sunday noon there were 398 caaes and 141 death, this being the largest number so far officially announced. It Is feared that th cholera will make further gains for at least another fort night, this being figured on the basis of former epidemics. All verities of Aslatlo cholera have now developed here, there be ing numerous caaes of th algid type, which Is accompanied by th greatest suffering, Th metropolitan of St. Petersburg caused prayers for deliverance to be read through. Out the diocese today. In which the pesti lence is described a a punishment for the people's lawlessness. Premier Stolypin had sharply reprimanded the municipal officials for the appalling conditions. At Abuchoff hoapttal, which lie vlalted Saturday, he found that three bathrooms were doing service for 300 pa tients. The physicians were powerless to carry out the proper course of treatment and the mortality at this hospital has been three tlmee that of others. Three of the nurses at this institution were stricken with the dlses.se yesterday, making a total of nine nurses now under treatment for cbolera. Opportunity for Spread. Practically nothing has been done up to the present to put the city's market place in a sanitary condition, they are places of indescribable filth with the atmosphere reeking with foui odors. One hundred car loads of fruit have been auctioned off and forwarded to Warsaw, Vilna and other towns which tha cholera has not Invaded, and tAe possibility of Infection from this source Is very great. As a city, St. Petersburg is woefully un sanitary and the great disease finds here the conditions most suitable for lte propa gation. It first made its appearance among the poor people herded in wretched tene ments, but It is now spreading to the bet ter classes and It has broken out in the barracks among the troops. The authorities had every warning of th coming of the disease and their neglect to tak proper precautions to prevent Its spread ha brought out a storm of indig nant criticism. As an example of the In efficiency and negligence displayed, it Is sufficient to cite the fact that many chol sra cases have been conveyed to the hos pitals In city cabs, which are very numer ous In St. Petersburg, after which these lame cabs were permitted, without disin fection, to return to their work on the itreets. The cholera waa firt reported this year about the end of July. It was of a vir ulent typo and the percentage of mor tality was high. The disease spread rap liily Ir.to the provinces along the Volga, Sown both coasts of the Casplun and in the territory of the Don Cossacks, In other words, la the eastern and south eastern districts of European Russia.

Temperature at Omaha yesterday: NEW VETERINARY COLLEGE Chlcngo I'nlveraltr Propose to Estab lish One of Wide Scope and I .a rare Equipment. CHICAGO. Bopt. M.-President Edmund J. Jamea, of the University of Illinois, ar rived home today from a tour of Inspec tion of the veterinary colleges of the meat Important European states. The Univer sity of Illinois Is to establish a state vet erinary college and research laboratory In the city of Chicago, and President Jamea waa commissioned to visit and ex amine the leading veterinary schools in Europe with a view to drafting a plan of organisation and equipment which will make the new school fully the equal of the best In the old world. Twenty-one of the most prominent schools were vlolted, including those In Holland, Belgium, Germany. Austrta-Hun- ary, Italy. Swltxerland. France, England. Ireland and Scotland. President James this afternoon said: "Everywhere was found an astonishing recognition of the Importance of these schools to the wealth and the health of the countries visited. The little kingdom of Belgium has Just spent over S1.fO0.Ou0 In the erection of a new plant for Its veterinary college four tlmea as much na any American state has ever expended for the same purpose. Ger many Is about to expend 12.600,000 In re constructing and re-equlplng its veterinary schools. Without adequate veterinary schools to serve us the centers of scien tific Investigation and of nurseries of ex pert scholars In this field, all meat Inspec tion must be a farce, no matter how much money the. government expends upon It, or what the law may prescribe. All attempte to prevent the spread of animal diseases such as Texas fever, hog cholera, etc. must be largely futile, and all police meas ures looking towards eliminating tubercu losis, bubonic plague and other diseases of main derived primarily from animals must be largely emperlcal and Ignorant. The new veterinary college of the University of Illinois will be distinguished from all schools of the kind In the United States by the emphasis placed upon scientific In vestigation Into the causes of animal di seases and theJr relation to human di sease, and the means by which such disease can be prevented. The legislature of Illinois made an appropriation at the last session for this school, and It Is hoped that It may be largely Increased at the approaching session.

STATE CONVENTIONS NEXT Under New Law All Meet at Lincoln Some Time Tuesday. REPUBLICANS TALK PLATFORM Democrat Largely Interested In Stat Chairmanship aad in Inducing Popallst Nominees to Withdraw, (From a Staff CoroapondenO LINCOLN. Sept. 20. (Special. )-A II of the state convention of the varloua political parties will be held at the state house be-B-lnnlng Tuesday at 12 o'clock. The republi cans will hold forth In Representative hall and the democrats In the Senate chamber. The prohibition and socialist parties will be given smaller rooms, while there Is a tenons question whether Mr. Bryan will permit tho populists to hold a convention. In the republican convention the nlatform will incite conaiderable debate. Leading re publicans roaliae thai the Issue in this campnljrn U th ffnd.w'Aticnt'of ths 'wot or tne last legislature and the admtnlalra tlon of Governor Sheldon and a continu ance of the work begun. oomo repumicans and some democrats nave been nominated on a platform onnnn mg or promising county option.

No one has been mentioned for tempor ary or permanent chairman of the conven tion. On the night of the convention the state committee will organize. Popnllsts Vet In Race. ' So far none of the populists nominated for state office has withdrawn and It may be there will be some lively scraps over this matter lKfore any one can be Induced to break hli oath. The letter from Walter Johnson nominated by the popullata ln the Sixth district for congress, asking how to fet off the ticket lias created considersble discussion about the sacrednees of an oath and over the penalty for committing per jury. There Is no quest kin but both Mr. Shal lenberger and Mr. Berg-o mde misrepre sentations to get th!r names on the popu list ticket. The misrepresentation was a statement under oath, that each affiliated with that party and each swore to abide i by the result. Should anyone care to take up th matter, lawyers say there might be grounds for original complaints. It Is under stood here that an agreement existed be tween Rergn and Shallenberger that who ever received the majority of the combined democratc and populist votes should be the nominee of both parties. If this Is true it proves that both contemplated a violation of an oath. Where Democrats Are Troubled. Another disturbing element ln the demo cratic sate committee fight over the chair manship Is Arthur Mullen of O'Neill. Mr. Mullen wants the Job. His clnlm centers ln tha fact that he appeared for Tom Allen when Allen put through his scheme to steal the populist votes for Bryan. Mullen did U I ii wie nurraning mat Jerked Secretary of State Junkln c f f his feet and made him fall over backwards. Now Mullen wants his pay. He wanta to be chairman . He Is now president of the Bryan Volunteers. Mullen Is chalked u"p in Lincoln as a populist. If he is a populist, of course that practically puts him out of the running, for Tom Allen and Mr. Bryan will not stand for a populist running a democratic campaign, especially after they have fixed it so a populist cannot vote for his national candidate. But Mullen has some friends who Intend to make a fight fo him and who expect him to land the place. There is another man who will command attention and that Is A. V. Johnson of Lincoln. Mr. Johnson is president of the Bryan Traveling Men s club and the travel ing men want some recognition. Mr. John son haa been put forward for the place and his friends are booming him. If he doesn't get It. aome of his traveling men friends will take It aa a personal slap at them, and if he does well, the old machine will be sorely put out and disappointed. There is no question but what Oruentiier can get the Job, for he has a big bunch ot the rank and file of the party for him.

Sept. 20.-The Indian bureau has undertaken to prevent the con tinuance of what the commiasloner consid ers has been an abuse in the manner of I procuring Indian children fur attendance at nonrt servatlon Indian schools by Issuing circulars prohibiting the schools from send ing canvassers to the reservation to se cure business. The government allows $167 per year for every Indian attending those schcols, and there has been much rival! y among them In procuring pupils. Many of the canvassers have carried children off at night ln order to prevent the required examination, and evasion which Commis sioner Leupp says has resulted ln the tak ing of numbers of children to climates en tirely unsulted to them, with consequent Illness and death In many cases. He char acterizes some of the schools as "herding places," and he finds that the food and the heating arrungements ln them are calcu lated to cause disease. The liew orders contemplate that here after the agent or superintendent on any given reservation shall determine what children shall be sent away to school and to what schools they shall be sent. Some of the schools have made bitter complaint against the order, but Secretary GarfUId has sustained the commissioner.

Thus again is the saying fulfilled which was written by the prophet. Bryan, "All Asia rejoices In your election a mayor of Omaha." For the meaning of that saying was this: Jim was running for mayor of Omaha when Bill was running for president by traveling around the globe. And when Jim was elected mayor Bill was In Asia and so elated, so over-Joyed wa Bill at the triumph of his most Intimate personal and political friend, Jim, that he forthwith seised a pencil and dashed off those few words and shot them over the cable under the deep blue sea to Omaha that Jim might feel and the world might know how happy It made Bill for Jim to be elected mayor, of the metropolis of Bill's state, thus in trenching himself behind the breastworks of political power which might b wielded at the next national contest In behalf of Bill. Not Weakened by Defeat. But Jim has met defeat. He girded Ma loin and went out to battle with th Philis tines for the nomination for governor and behold he was smitten with a big bunch of ballots. And there you are. When th result of the primary election became positively known and . the defeat of DalUman by- 8hallnlarger was eesurtd Ui Jaoksoniana. who outwardly are , Bryan mn.

Like that Peerless Leader, who, "from the ashes of two defeats, rises stronger and more pnpulai than ever," Dahlman walks right out of the defeat at the primary up higher Into the councils of th party. But a few days after the returns are ln show- ng him second In the governor race, comes demand from the national committee sent by Bryan) for him to buckle on his boot and spurs. Jump his favorite broncho and tear for the plain of Illinois, and be gin throwing his lariat for democratic votes. What does It all mean? Just on thing that Dahlman and Bryan are the most inti mate personal and political friends; that Bryan not only likes th man and culti vates his friendship, but that he admire his political ways and endorse his methods. Or why would he insist against Jim' own desires, that he get out on the national stump and whip those method into execu tion? That is the question ardent Jim ar asking. They are saying that In defeat Jim Is stronger than any of his opponent In triumph; that beaten for th nomination he Is yet more powerful than Shallenberger, the democratlo nomine for governor. And between their teeth they his, "Why doesn't somebody demand that Shallen berger take the national stump f" Harmon yT Wh y Sural And so harmony dwells ln the ho us of democracy In Omaha and Nebraska! For proof, listen to th Jacksonlans i press their opinion of Bryan for Insisting that Dahlman get Into th national fight, or listen to a few of their choice word about Mr. Bryan not calling on sora Jack, sonlan to take th stump In his behalf. Or if further proof 1 required that th Jim and tha Jacks, the Bryan and th antla. the goldbugs and th silver tip, axe on and Indissoluble ln this fight for pap, hark back to the meeting of th Dnhlman Democ racy Friday night and (her witness th fulmlnatlons anent on Ed p.

Not much waa said about Mr. Berryman, nor done; nothing but a peremp tory and cold-blooded demril that he be seised, gently, by tha nap of the neck and the most convenient part of hi wardrobe and heaved over the transom. That' alL Otherwise, a resolution was adopted on of those nice, pungent, puissant resolutions demanding that Mr. Berryman resign or be kicked off the Park board. Harmony? Yes, sweet and dulcet.
