CORNER FARNAM AND FIFTEENTH STREETS, OMAHA- STATE SOLDIERS ARE UNPAID Estimate for Guardimen's Camp at Omaha Exoeeds Apprepristion. VIGILANCE AGAINST SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC State Board of Health Urges Most Arranges for Campaig Speech: (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Oct. 12.—(8pecial.)—~The pay- roll of the Nebraska National guard for service during the ten days' encampment in Omaha exceeds the total appropriation by $3383.92. Vouchers for $17,333.92 have been presented to the auditor, but they are being held for further consideration. The legislative appropriation of $17,000 was for twelve days' encampment during the bi- ennlum. It has been customary to hold a five or six days' encampment each year, but Adjutant General Colby thougl #00d would result from one ten day campment than from two of a shorter dura- tion. There s some question as to whether the entire amount for the ten days' service, when the law contemplates twelve da: service. The matter will be thoroughly investigated by the state officers and a decision will be given next week. Certain it Is, however, that all soldiers will not receive full pay for their services. If the claims are dis. counted, the soldlers will be given vouchers for the balance due and these would be referred to the next legislature. The mili- tary department has not completed the financial statement of the expenses of the oncampment and it is believed that there may be a shortage in the item of traus. portation. The appropriation for moving the troops to and from the two encamp- ments provided for is $4,000. Whether or not this amount will cover the expense Is A matter of conjecture, the claims of the rallrond companies not having beem pre- sent 4 Members of the guard are emn{«l to pay for service during the encampment the following per diem b Brigadier general, ; colonels, $9.59; lieutenant colon majors, $6.85; captains, captains, not mounted, $4.93; regimental adjutants, $4.93; regi- mental quartermasters, $4.93; first lieuten- ants, mounted, $4.38; first lleutenants, not mounted, s second lieutenants, mounted, $4.11 second lleutenants, not mounted, $3.84; chaplains, $4.11; pri- vates, $1.

Dobbins of this city has added his opinions to Labor Commissioner Watson's symposium on the subject of divorce legis- lation. He says: “‘The laws of Nebraska relating to divorce place a premium upon conjugal infelicity. In theory they are wrong, in that they permit of decrees being obtained on grounds that are comparatively trivial, and in prac- tice they are utilized as the media to per- petuate many frauds upon the courts. There s no real or ethical ground for making non-support a ground for divorce. Aban- donment ought not to be one unless the applicant can conclusively show that he or she was not to blame. The Nebraska hould provide that In def: Bty attorney enter an appea investigate and _fully inform the court. Make the divorce laws more strinj ent. Make it more difficult to secure a d vorce and you lessen the number of hasty, il considered marri form can be brought about only by concerted action of those really interested in the work. 1 would suggest that some{ime between now and the next meeting of the legislature a commission be named, by whom it is im- material, but preferably by the governor or someone in authority, to revise and amend the present chapter on diverce and to secure the enactment of & new code by the next I ve body."

TO COMPEL TRUSTEES TO BUY Grand Isla Lodge of United Work- men Institutes Mandamus Proceedings. GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Oect. 12.—(Spe- clal.)—In the district court yesterday, Judges Thompson and Paul presiding, the mandamus proceedings of the local Anclent Order United Workmen committee against the trustees of the grand lodge, Ancient Order United Workmen, for the purpose of compelling the latter to carry out the in- structions and orders of the grand lodge in the matter of the purchase of the Anclent Order United Workmen bullding of this city and the location of the permanent head- quarters here, was taken up. Attorneys St. Claire of Kearney and Hall of Holdrexe represented the trustees and Horth & Rvan of this city the local committee. At the session of thoe grand lodge held at Nebra: City last May, the lodge cided to ently locate the headauar- ters of the grand lodge in this city and to purchase the Anclent Order United Work- men building at the stipulated price of $11,- 000, after a vigorous fight, the principal contestants being Grand nd, Lincoln and Omaha. The committea was Instructed to execute the transfer and pay over the money from the general fund of the lodwe. It appears that protests were made and the trustees at their next meeting failed to carry out the instructions of tHe lodae on the ground that they might be personally responsible, it having been set forth that the grand lodge constitution and by-laws did not authorize the lodge to take such dctlon as it had taken at the session at Nebraska City. It then—se: 1 months ago—decided to resort to a in court ugh a mandamus proceeding, compelling the trustees to carry out the Instruction of the grand lodge. The position taken by Attorneys St. Clalre and Hall was that the grand lodge was not authorized by the constitution and by-laws to purchase real estate and that the bullding was what it had been pur- ported to be. The applicants for the manda- mus maintained and showed that the archi- tect of the grand lodge had Inspected the bullding and found it perfectly satisfactory and all that it had been represented to be and that there was no provision in the constitution and by-laws of the order pre- venting the organization from owning real estate. That was a right inherent in every person, assoclation of persons, company or corporation—to own the real estate neces- sary for the transagtion of its busine: The evidence taken yssterday and last evening it was completed. The plain- | tiffs were then given ten days in which to file their briefs; in lieu or oral argument, the defendants were given a succeeding ten days to answer and the plaintiffs were given another five in which to reply to defendants’ answer.

COURT LECTURES ATTORNEY OLSTON Ome of the Signers of the Petition Announces That He Signed With- out Reading Because He Was Asked, NEBRASKA CITY, Neb, Oct. 12.—(Spe- clal Telegram.)—The habeas corpus pro- ceedings which were filed for the release of Hall Frampton, the negro murderer. were today refused by the court. Nelson Mar- cus, who signed the petition, stated that he had only seen Frampton once and knew nothing about him whatever. He sald that the paper was handed to him by Mr. Olston. a lawyer, and that he signed it without reading it or taking’the oath. Judge Jessen then read Mr. Olston a most caustic lec- ture. Mr. Olston finally asked by the court to take his s with the other mem- bers of the bar. Judge Jessen ended by saying that the court refused to examine the matter at all or to grant the preliminary writ. TRACK ROBBERS TO THE TRAIN Bloodhounds Supply a Theory to Of- ficials of Narka Bank, but Culprits Escape, BEATRICE, Neb., Oct. 12.—(Special Tele- am.)—The Fulton bloodhounds which were taken to Narka, Kan., yesterday to trace the bank robbers who successfully robbed the bank at that place early yes- terday returned to this city this morning. The dogs traced the robbers to Hubbell, eighteen miles from the place of the , where it is presumed they boarded the early Burlington train for Denver. It s hard to ascertain just how much the robbers secured, but it is thought here that the amount will reach close to $20,- 000, as the bank officlals offer a reward of 35,000 for their capture and convietion. It is the opinion of the bankers and the officers who traced them that the robbery was perpetrated by experts from Denver, who had their escape planned according to rallroad time tables, and there seems to be little or no hope of ever apprehending them. nk Deposits, DAVID CITY, Neb., Oct. 12.—(Special.)—~ The reports made to the comptroller of the currency by the three Natlonal banks of David City show that at the close of busi- ness for September the deposits aggregated the sum of $831,482.42.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 12.—(Speclal,)— Reports from the stock ranges of Wyoming are very encouraging. In all parts of the state there seems to be an abundant supply of grass, late rains having placed the ranges in prime condition for winter feed- ing. Cattlemen say the ranges of the state are In better shape at the present time than ever before and they are taking advantage of the conditions. Sheepmen are jubilant over the outlook. for instead of being compelled to ship their sheep to market on account of a shortage of range food, as im fermer years. they can hold on and feel safe that their flocks will not want for food during the winter. The plentiful supply of range feed and the fact that larger quantities of hay were harvested this year than ever before. has resulted In fewer lambs belng sold to Colo- rado feeders. Last year almost every flocks, master in the southern part of the state sold off his lambs to the feeders. but this fall they have enough hay, hoth alfalfa and native, to fatten what lambs they wish to ship and also keep thelr hold-overs in prime conditlon, Cattlemen, or those that have been on the market with beef stock, feel greatly encouraged over present conditions, and there seems to be a stronger market in sight for those that are late In golng to market. The prospect of higher prices in the spring will result in many cattlemen holding over until then before marketing, Rising prices for horses has caused the ranchmen of Wyoming to pay more atten- tion to the animals that formerly were permitted to run at large and rustle for themselves.
