Dr. Klgfn discovered that after an ex

sufficient symptoms, of the disease to
.warrant killing and they were disposed
ft In that way.
"Every precaution Is being taken," said
Dr, Klgln this morning, "to prevent any

housed has been tofn down and every

Peculiar Forgery
Case Brought to
Law Department
(From a Otaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Oct. U.-(Spoclal.)-A case
which has been put up to the attorney
general to decide has caused much per
plexity on the part of Assistant Attorney
General Bdgerton, to whom the matter
has been referred. No names will bo
given out, but It Involves a construction
of the law against forgery.
It seems ttiat a yoUng man In a Ne
braska town desired to marry a young
woman. She herself whs not favorable,
nor ws the mother of the girl. However,
the young fellow persisted In his atten
tions, and to avoid htm the girl was sent
to another town to vlsl relatives.
Soon after she received a telegram
signed by her mother to hasten home and
that an automobile would meet her at a
little town not far from the home. The
girl followed Instructions of Uie telegram
and was met at tho train by the young
man. who demanded that she' marry him
at once, giving her a lettor Blgned by
her mother stating that she desired tlie
marrlagci
Tho girl refused to go farther until she
bad seen her mother, wltn the result that
the forgery of the mother's name to the
telegram and also to the letter was dis
covered. The mother dtslrea to prosecute.
So far Mr. Edgerton has been unablo
to discover any law which covers the
forgery ot a name to a1 telegram.
NEBRASKA HEN IS GREAT
PRODUCER OF WEALTH
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Oct. 11. (Speclal.)-In 1912
there, were shipped from points In Ne
braska 47,6IS,S22 dozen eggs. Owing to
the high prico of meat the consumption
of eggs on farms was undoubtedly much
greater than In 1911, when C0.1S0.G50 dozen
eggs ere shipped. The fancy price to
bo realized from the sale of live and
dressed poultry In 1912 no doubt had Its
effect upon the egg production, an In that
year tho shipment of this commodity
reached the enormous total of 40,528,280
pounds, as against a total shipment In
1911 of 26,748,601 pounds. In 1911 there were
shipped rfrom Nebraska stations a total
of C0,1SC,650 dozen eggs.
It is safe to assume that the 127,723 fam
ilies upon farms used 33,207,980 dozen
eggs. Figuring the price at 20 cents per
dozen In -1912, the Nebraska hen Is no
slouch when It comes Jo getting the coin.
It Is safe' to state that she brought to the
pockets of Nebraska farmers during 1912
not less than $10,000,000, to say nothing of
the part she played In satisfying the
craving of the Inner man.

The spectacle ot the great vessel being
consumed by fire with over 800 souls on
board and surrounded by a fleet of huge
lighted hulls crowded with thousands of
spectators, all anxtovs,but unable to help,
owing to the mountainous seas, was ter
rifying. All that could be done by the would-be
helpers was to throw overboard from
their vessels dozens of lighted life buoys
and stand by In the hope of picking up
some of those who had been cast Into the
sea.
At twenty minutes past 9 the wireless
operatbr on board the Volturno had to
turn over the connection of his Instru
ment to the reserve batteries, as the fire
had reached the boilers and the engtno
room and had put the pumps and dynamos
out of action. A few minutes later cries
for help were heard rising from the water
near the Carmanla,. and then a man. who
proved to bo a steerage passenger of the
Volturno wearing a life belt was located
by means of the searchlight a short dis
tance away, tossed about by the sea. He
was rescued, but only after one of the
sailors of tho Carmanla had been lowered
Into the water with a llfo line, which he

The emigrants on board the Volturno
were composed of Russians, Dalmatians,
Poles and a few Germans. Most of them
were bound for Canada.
