THE LINCOLY DOCTORS DISAGREL £mallpox foare faid to Be the Result of a Take, ORIGINATED AMONG THE PRISONERS Some Think the Siek Men Are Simply Suf- fering from the Application of a Quantity of Croton Ol tal City Gossip. LaxcoLy, Nob., Aug. 10.—|Special to Tur Bre. | ~Opinion seems to be divided among the physicians of the city of Lincoln as to ‘Whether the disease which has broken out at the county jailis really smallpox, and the medical gentlemen are engaged in the usual discussion of the matter, lo the meantime the two men who are down with the disease are reported to be in no dangor of lmmediate death, and botn are suid to be doing nicely in their improvised quarters just outside the city limits, One physician claims that the sick men are slwply sulforing from the application of o quantity of croton oil, bucking up the claim by the assertion that the effect of such an ap- plication is similar in appearance to small- pox. Other physicians who have calied and exumined the cases aro positive that they are certuinly smalipox in an acute form. The people of Lincoln are showing no signs of uneasiness over the presenco of the plagus and no doubts are expressed that the euthorities will be able to provent the spreaa of the alsease beyond the contines of thio jail. Tou friends ot W. H, Trvine, who is Incar- cerated in the jail awaiting bis trial for the murderof C. 1. Montgomery, are uneasy aud would like to secure bis removal to the ate penitentiory, but the county officials Wwill peemit no one to bo taken from the jail and so Mr. Irvine will have to take his chances with the other prisoners, He has boen contined in an upper celi in the jail and has at all times been isolated from the com- mon prisoners who have been exposed to the diseuse, und there is o likelihood: that he will be overtaken by tho scourge. ¥ir Lodge Room. The fire department again called to the Young block at O street at 0:10 o'clock this morning.

C., and portions of the orgamization will hold state and district rounions in ovory northern state from now until winter shats out camp life, There ate many reasons for the unmistakably inoronsing sentiment of reverence and love for tho veteran soldier civilian, whose sword has been transformed into a plowsharo and whaose warlike mien at the close of the rebellion was exchanged at a moment’s notice for the amicavle smilo of peace and good will_toward his late brother advorsary. The saddest thought of al! s that this noblo organization, 1n accordance with vature's immutable laws, must ever decrease in numbers until final axtinction, perpetuated only by posterity and not by recruits. Per- haps this .s the principle reason why each succeediug annusl reunion seems = more sucrod than its predecessor, not ouly to tho voterans themselves, but toall loyal men and women of both north and south, Grand Island Will Spare No Pains, It is under such circumstances that the re- union committee at Grand Jsland are prepar- ing for the fourteenth annual reunion of the Department of Nebraska and also that preparations for the National encampment at the capital of the natiou are being made. Graud Island has won a proud reputation as @ reunion city and with her experience as a guide will surpass all former efforts for the entertainment of Nebraska soldiers and their frieads, Camp Sheridan, for that is the name of the oamp this vear, will bo located on the same beautiful spot occupied by Camp Sherman last year, and will be a model of neatness and “convenience, comfort and display, with such perfect system as 1o arrangement, both of tents and rosters, as to enable any veteran to tind his comrades without difficulty. Itis scarcely necessary to state in the light of pust experience that she camp equipage will be perfect. Wood, water and straw will be furnished in abundance and the usual de- tails of camp life will be looked after by careful committees. Applications for quar- ters should be made to Harry Harrlson, quartermaster, Grand Island. It is the intention of the committee, acting upon the request of the department encamp- ment, to make the coming meeting more distinctively @ veteran’s reunion than ever bafore, affording ‘more ample opportunity for renewing old acquaintances and talking over ola times, and tne program has been arranged with that end in view. Many entirely new features have veen added, one of the most thrillingly interesting peing that of the introduction ef Prof. Heaaon and his acronautic combination, with whom con- tract has been made. The professor will | ascend for a mile or more, aud theu drop from from his aerial ship to the grouna. Another featurs of a spectacular nature will be tho marching and drill of a flambeau club with fireworks, organized specially for the Grana Island reunion, Half-Fare Rates Secured. The above is onlv a bint at the program which is being evolved by the practical mind and band of Seth P. Mobley, president of the reunion committee, and his secretary, G. H. Caldwell. Half fare rates have been secured on all railroads from all points in Nebraska and uniformed bands will be trans- ported free. Speakers of state and national reputation have already been secured to address the sol- dicrs and enliven the camp fires. J. W. Bowen, A. A.
