Who Made Report
, i
Lincoln Company's Value Found to
Have Increased Over Million
in One Night.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, April 18.-(Speclal.)-The
Lincoln Traction company has "wat
ered" Its value to tho amount of 1,S76,
772.76, according to a report completed to
day by U. G. Powell and L. E. Wettllng,
rate clerks In the employ of the Slate
Railway commission, In connection with an
Investigation held in relation to a petition
from the citizens of Havelock, a suburb
to the capital, for the reduction of fares.
The value of the company's property, says
the report, filed today, is 82,381.U.07.
The contention of the traction Company In
resisting the efforts for a reduction of
fares has been that It would cut the earn
ings on capital to an unreasonable and
unprofitable figure.
Following Is an extract from "the report
to' the commission, showing how values
changed In one night:
Our Investigation has covered only the
period from the consolidation of the Lin
coln Traction company and this Citizens'
Railway company. January 81. 909.
On the date last named, the- combined
assets of the two companies, as shown
by the books of the Lincoln Traction com

Polander after one hour eight mlnuts and

Dane." , ; '
The ' second ' fall ' was In favor of the
Pole after a struggie of 18 minutes and 40
seconds.
It was a battle between science and
strength, In which strength won. Wes
tergaard showed that. he was the more
sclentiflo of the two principals, but the
Polander waa there with the strength.
Time and tlma again would the Dane have
an opportunity to thrown the Polish wrest
ler, but he was not strong enough to beat
him . to the position. In pinches he
lacked the strength to go through.
The big house, which numbered over
3,000 people, applauded every move, and
there was hardly a mlnuts but their work
brought applause. ,
At .the beginning, of the matoh between.
the big ones, Westergaard went after his
man tooth and nail and for. a time it
looked as if he might win. Westergaard
was aver on the aggressive, and. caught the
Polish gentleman in several predicaments,
but, Zbyszko always, found a way out of
them, and at no tlma was in any particu
lar danger. During, the first fall Jess
was decidedly on the offensive, and , tried
his best to place the Pole on his back, .but
when hs got In a Ugh place. Zybszko ex
erted herculean strength, and. got, away.
The Dane had all kinds ,of, speed, but It
availed him nothing, compared wlth,..,tUs

short spurt be let the Dane take the in
itiative and did nothing but hold his own.'
The great strength of the Pole asserted It
self and after a fierce battle Westergaard
was pinned with a half Nelson.

From a spectacular point of View, Wester

again he got out of holds that looked like

aaaMaaaaa
The work of the army medical board In
grappling with and stamping out yellow
fever In Cuba and the Isthmus of Panama,
the bubonic plague, berl berl and cholera
in the Philippine Islands was the subject
of a lecture by Colonel J. M.- Rannlster,
chief surgeon ' of the Department ot tho
Missouri, to the Men's club of the l'lrnt
Presbyterian ohurch Monday night. No one
Is more fitted than Colonel liannlster to
speak of army sanitary administration In
the tropics and what 'It has accomplished
in tho cause of humanity, aa he has played
an important part himself In the field nf
medical discovery during the period he was
stationed in Cuba and in the far east.
The portion of the lecture of particular
Interest to people In this country was his
relation of' the triumphs of tho medical
board in exterminating ycl!o fevnr In
Cubs, and the Isthmus, as In years past,
aa he pointed out, '"yellow Jack" has car
ried off thousands annually 4n the South
ern states and cost the federal government,
the governments of - states and railroad
companies millions of dollars. The dis
covery, he said, that yellow fever was
transmitted by a species of mosquito wan
the turning point In the battle with this
disease which ' had baffled the scientists
of other countries for centuries.
"In the City of Havana," he stated, "we
In ninety daya absolutely destroyed all
yellow fever infection. That was'the first
time in 140 years that this city enjoyed
freedom from the disease." t He pointed out
that It was this discovery in Cuba that
bad made the construction of the Panama
canal -possible. . Tha ravages- of the disease
had compelled the French to abandon the
work. As against the 8,000 who had died
during tha- period, the French contractors
were at work there had been only nineteen
deaths from Hhlsi cause uriUer the United
States administration the first year and
half.
Regarding the bubonlo plague In the
Philippines i he said- that medloal Kelence
was--now able to combat the. 1 'disease
through. the dlscoverp.of the army medloal
board that 4t was- spread by .rata and the .
fles that,lve4 sqn'ithvvripr..,Fr,;two,
years , tho., government , In rth .Philippines,
had paid so much a head for every -fat
killed. '.' ., ,' ......... ...
Colonel Bannister paid a high tribute to
tht members of the medical board and. the
enlisted (soldiers In giving their, services
and lives In the cause of the progress ot
medical sclenoe. He mentioned . that only
one of the. four members of the medical
board who carried outvthe' experiments in
Cuba, was now alive and stated that two of
the" doctors had succumbed directly to the
yellow fever Infection to which they had
voluntarily ' submitted themselves. II. A.
Dowd presided during the lecture.
