R. HERRICKj Cashier. IMS Birdsall i Stoul BBOKEKS The State Yeterlnarian Notified of the Presence of the Disease at Tckamata. Dr. Gerth, state veterinarian, was startled yesterday morning by the receipt of a letter from Tekamah, this state, containing the following information: "There is a disease among the cattle1 of this neighborhood.

From twenty to thirty have died and many more are sick. Many people suppose it to be Texas or Spanish fever. In April, 15S7, quite a large band (over 1,000) o( Texas range cattle were unloaded at this station, and so far only cattle which have been over the ground which these Texans have walked have been attacked. There is a general scare here and the matter ought to be seen to at once." Immediately following this letter came a telegram from Sheriff bkmner asking Dr. Gerth to come immediately as bad case? of Texas fever bad been discovered and the cattle were dying very fast.

Commissioner Abbey and Dr. Wessel were due at Blair yesterday and they were at once wired by Dr. Gerth to go to Tekamah without delay for the purpose of making a full report the disease. They received the telegram early in the afternoon, and were probably on the ground before night. A report from them is awaited with considerable interest.

If tbe disease turns out to be Texas fever there will bo trouble. The governor's proclamation of March 18, 1S8G, prohibits the introduction into the state of Nebraska of all cattle that have beon shipped all or any part of the way from the states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, during the months of April, May, Jane, July, Aucust, September and October. The cattle causing this outbreak were brought to the state in April last, and in violation of the law. Dr. Gerth slates that they were probably smuggled in.

A thorough investigation will be made and the responsibility will be placed where it belongs. Then the guillotine will be set to work and several official beads will roll into the waiting basket. The laws are very strict in this matter, and an evasion of tlio quarantine is a misdemeanor punishable by a heavy fine. The promptness with which the state commission began work Yesterday was not likelv to give the guilty parties much assurance of CALIFORNIA EXCURSION. Burlington Koate.

Dr. Childs, having too much of other tusiness to occupy his time. Now having sold out his drug business, he will push the abstract and loan business for all there is in them. He has secured the assistance of Mr. C.

We feel sure the "Old Reliable" will rank close to the head in the abstract business of the county and town. Office for the present in rear of county clerk's office. Omaha, July 1, 1S87.

Agents B. ft M. Railroad: Gentlemen Referring to circularjauthor-izing rate to Chicago and return of single fare, plus $2.00, please understand and make it known that the tickets for this occasion may be sold to all who wish to buy them, and that the only restriction as to who may use them is the provision requiring that they be stamped by tbe secretary of the National Educational association before they will be honored for return. As the railroads have agreed to pay to the educational association $2.00 for each ticket stamped for return, it follows that the secretary of tbe association will not refuse to stamp any ticket presented for that purpose at the proper time.

The annual meeting of the Nebraska grain dealers' association convened yesterday at Fitzgerald hall, with about 150 delegates present, representing 500 elevators, members of the association. These elevators are distributed throughout the entire state of Nebraska and a part of Kansas, and embrace all of the regular grain dealers on the lines of the Burlington Missouri, Union Pacific, Elkhorn Valley and Missouri Pacific railroads. It will remembered that this association wm the object of considerable legislation at tbe last session of the state legislature, and the principal object of the meeting was to reorganize in conformity with the statu tea. The meeting was called to order by MaJ. Barriger of Omaha, rice president of the association, and F.

E. Lawrence of Omaha was made secretary. After considerable discussion a constitution and by-laws in strict conformity with the statutes were adopted and signed, which will be given to the public later. The reports of officers showed the organization in a satisfactory condition. One year ago a mutual insurance company for the protection of members against loss by fire was started within the organization, and this was found to have effected considerable saving to the members.

State ex reL James v.

Babcock. Man damus. Writ denied. Opinion by Reese, J. 1.

The constitution of the state requires that all claims upon the state treasury must be examined and adjusted by the auditor and his action apnroved by the secretary of state before any warrant can be drawn tbereior. This provision applies to all claims whether claimed by virtue of a specific appropriation or not. 2. The making of a specific appropriation by the legislature for the purpose of paying a demand against the state is, in no sense, the auditing of such claim, and the duties and responsibilities of the auditor and secretary of state with reference to the payment thereof are not diminished thereby. 3.

The legislature has no authority under the constitution to audit or adjust a claim against the state, and if money is appropriated to pay an alleged claim, or one which the state does not owe, and the auditor so finds upon examination and adjustment, it is his duty to refuse to issue a warrant, notwithstanding such appropriation. 4. The law furnishes an adequate remedy by appeal from the decision of the auditor, in the examination and adjustment of claims against ihe state. Therefore a mandamus will not Issue to compel him to issue a warrant for the payment of a claim which has been disallowed by him upon such examination and adjustment. Sandwich Manufacturing Co.

Record Advertising 116 South Thirteenth St STRIKING SWITCHMEN. Trouble in the Burlington Tarda Over the Promotion jjrf a Conductor to the Position of Nlgtri Yard master. The appointment of Conductor Sheridan to the position of night master of the Lincoln yards took effect night before last At 7 o'clock on that evening the force of night switchmen and yardmen, numbering twenty-one, struck work without assigning any reason other than that the new man was brought in from the road and was not a promoted yardman.

The engineers and firemen of the switch engines remained at their posts, and with the aid of a few men picked up wherever they could be found considerable work was done during tbe night, and when the day force came on all daneer of a blockade seemed at an end. Yesterday afternoon, however, the strikers secured the co-operation of the day men, and the entire force, with the exception of five, left their work. The company declined to give any concessions on the grounds asked, as the objectionable man had long before been a yardman and was clearly entitled to the promotion. New men, therefore, were engaged as rapidly as possible, and at 12 o'clock last night three of the four night engine were running, and the prospect seemed good for keeping the yards clear and running as usual today. I Superintendent Thompson stated last night that as many men as are needed can be secured immediately, and none of the strikers will be taken back under any circumstances.

No disturbances were reported up to midnight Some of the new men, fearing trouble, asked for protection and a squad of police was ordered to the yards about 9 o'clock. The services of the blue coats were not required and to all appearances the strike was dead when they returned to the city a little before 12 o'clock. Challenge Job Preae For Sal.

The plan of the building is a magnificent one, and shows the proposed building to be both spacious and compact in all its apartments. The county officers and Quite a number of rrominent citizens have examined the plans and are highly pleased with them. 1 At ten minutes past eleven last nteht a large and brilliant meteor passed across the sky from the northwest to the southeast about 60 decrees above the horizon, explod ing wnen south or east about 43 degrees from the horizon una The passage of this heavenly body was followed by a rumbling sound like distant thunder.

Although the moon was shining brightly the light from the meteor was very noticeable, and a large numoer or persona in tne city witnessed ttie beautiful sight Yesterday morning: Jacob Pederson. who lives in the North Bluff precinct, appeared in Judge Parker's court with a very black eye, tne results or a iracas witn nis neighbor, Andrew Gustaffson. The judge issued a warrant for Gustaffson's arrest Penderson says that yesterday morning, while riding along in the country, he met Gustaffson, who asked nun ior a dollar that be owed bun, accom panying the demand with a threat that unless the cash was forthcominz he would "take it out of his hide." From the appearance of Pederson's eye he must have carried his threat into The eye will be brought into court as evidence. During the month of 'June there were 160 prisoners before the police judge, divided as follows: Plain drunks, 54; prostitutes. 26; drunk and disorderly, 25; assault and battery, 18; vagrants, gamblers, found in houses of ill fame, for aet driving, 3 murder, larceny, forgery, carrying concealed weapons, 1 using obscene language, obtaining money under false pretenses, 1 on a peace warrant, 1.

The collections during the month amounted to $609 as fines, and $184.30 as fees. This is the largest amount ever collected in one month. Besides this sum there was about in fines that were appealed and may yet be collected. This makes the total receipts over $1,000 for the month. The fines are all applied to the school fund.

If devoted to the payment of the expenses of the police the fines would generally support the department, as it costs less than $800 per month to run it. ine boarding of the prisoners for the mon in cost. $izo. PERSONAL. Mrs.
