Discrepancy in Nebraska lawa regulating contagious diseases and the legislation that will be asked for at the coming Session of the legislature were the subjects of the address delivered before the meeting ot the Nebraska Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis by Dr. E. J. C. Sward, secretary of the Nebraska Board of Health, at tha Creighton Institute Thursday evening. One of the interesting exhibits shown la a table of statistics compiled by Dr. Sward; showing the number of deaths In the state of Nebraska during the six months ending June 3, 1S8, from the seventy-three known causes in each county of the state for each month. In this table tuberculosis ranks third as cause for death, being exceeded by Infants' diseases and pneumonia. "The state of Nebraska has never appro priated 1 cent for the prevention of con tagious diseases among its citizens," said Dr. Sward, "but is ever ready to appropri ate vast sums for the investigation of dis eases among the cattle and hogs. "Only this year the state of Ohio passed an appropriation of $l,ooo,000 for the preven tion of tuberculosis alone, Minnesota $100. OtO and Iowa $100,000. Thirty-four states have laboratories such as we desire." "The legislation desired by the tubercu losis association and the State Board of Health is provision for a free sanitarium for Invalids and poor, that a census be taken of those Infected with tuberculosis, together with a bill excluding the Immigra tion of tuberculosis patients mho are in the last stages; that all cases should be registered, so that should one slip into the state he could be found and deported; for state inspection of all public , schools and school children, together with a provision for playgrounds; the Inspection of every hospital by the state board, which is now restricted to inspection only la cases of epidemics." Over 6ou visitors again vleaed the exhibit Thursday. The exhibit closes next Wednes day night and will be removed to Fremont and other cities of ths state. Lew Dockatader and His Mlnstreia at the Boyd. Omaha folks who had their memories of the veteran minstrel, Lew Dockstader, refreshed by attending the Boyd Thurs day afternoon or evening feel that this season's entertainment by the famous Dockstader troupe folly measures up to former standards set In minstrelsy. Though an Innovation, tho atyle of en tertainment furnished on the eighteenth annual tour of the famous blackface artist and his company Is Just as popu lar and clever as the original minstrel entertainment. If not mor-j so, and this was attested to most forcibly yesterday by the large audiences and the repeated applause that greeted the efforts of the troupe. It la always hard to say what was best In an entertainment that was uniformly good, but though the chorus, orchestra and dance numbers had that distinctive quality that is seldom found, the award will probably go to the Individual efforts of "Lew" and his associate artists whose solos and comedy acts were both new and rlever. Mr. Dockstaden's 'Politics Under Water" was one of the most novel things on the program, his personification of a colored counterpart of Judge Taft, who sought the quiet of a submarine voyage before being elected, and In his under water retreat met his opponent, the other Bill, and had a heated political argument and victory etver him, being one of the most laugh-provoking parts of the long banquet of minstrel delicacies served up. ' "The Sheriff ot Angel Galea" at the Krng. "Young Buffalo," the cowboy actor. Is this year repeating his former successes, appearing In Charles E. Blaney's latest Play, "The Sheriff of Angel Gulch," which opened a three days' engagement at the Krug Thursday night, A good house wit nessed the first performance, and from ths applause accorded the atar one would Judge that his acting was more than appreciated and that his popularity Is certainly not on the wane. In the present offering the disputed title of a rich gold mine and the love affair of Young Buffalo, the sheriff, with the sup posed daughter of his father's murderer, are the main points In the story. The cow boy sheriff finally gets back the mine that had been stolen from his father, and after the heroine's father la proved to be not the villain, but tha close, friend of the sheriff's father, the Interesting love match result! In the marriage of the two. After the first act last evening Young Buffalo responded to repeated calls by ap pearing on his handsome white cow pony, which plunged end reared and gave its rider ample opportunity to demonstrate that he is not only an actor, but also a clever rider. The production will be re peated tonight and tomorrow night, with the usual Saturday matinee. SPECIAL FOR FAIRBURY MAN John llldel Fays Liberally for His Hide from Home City to Omaha. From appearancea It would seem that John Hidel, a saloon keeper of Falrbury, Neb., was thinking of Inaugurating a special train service, his recent hiring of a special train from his home town tu Lincoln, and now his novel ride from Falr bury to Omaha In a freight caboose last night, pointing to the supposition that he cares for the exciting and extraordlnaty In his travel. His special to Omaha Thurs day night consisting of an engine and a may car or caboose tn which he and several friends made the trip, cost him $172.

The appar atus connects also with a large gong placed outside over the door, which Is sure tn at tract the attention of paasers-by to the entrapped thief.
