HORSE DISEASE BREAKS 0UT ia York County. VETERINARY SURGEONS FAIL TO CHECK IT for Strange Mal. Accom led by Know No P ady, Which symptoms of 1 COLUMBUS, Neb., Jan. 28.—(Speclal.)— The fatality among horses in the northern part ot Platte county during the last ten days or two weeks has been quite alarm- ing, the disease being something with which the veterinary eurgeons seem wholly unable to cope. County Superintendent L. H. Leavy visited fourteen schools in the vi- cinity of Humphrey, Creston and Cornlea last week, in each district making inquiry among the farmers as to the loss of horses, and In this way learned that twenty-two men had had forty-seven fatalities from the strange disease, which manifests itself in at least some cases In blindness and loss of consclousness to paln or Insanity, the animal plunging into barbed wire fences and not being repelled by severe cuts, but with the coming out of cold sweat quickly dying. One seemingly significant fact mentloned by a farmer and corroborated by Mr. Leavy's subsequent observation, is that the balf dozen farmers in the county supplied with flowing wells are free, not only from this disease among horses, but have been free during recent years from cholera among hogs.

Bracelen, one of the Klondike miners who went down on the ill-fated Islander, has Just recelved important news bearing on the suit for damages instituted against the Canadlan Pacific Navigation company by the relatives of those who lost their lives and property in the wreck. An order has just been handed down by Judge Hanford of the United States district court at Seattle, which provides that no American can sue the navigation company on account of these claims, which in the aggregate amount to $230,000, but that they must be satisfled out of the freight and passenger receipts for the fatal voyage, and the lifeboats saved from the wreck. Judge John P. Hoyt of Seattle wae ap- pointed by this order to appraise the life- boats and to ascertain the amount of the receipts of the company for Islander’s last trip. On April 17 United States Commissloner Bowman will adjudicate the claims brought before him and apportion the property and money in question among the claimants. The order was signed in accordance with a petition file? by the attorneys of the Canadlan Pacific company, and is the result of the findings in the Islander investigation at Victoria. These findings exonerate the men in charge of the vessel from any blame for its lose. The petition makes the allegation that the wreck was unavoldable. It quotes the United States admiralty law on the subject, which says that the owners of a veasel lost by unavoldable wreck are exempt from | bility beyond the extent of that vessel's receipts for its last vayage and the salvage from the wreck. There are about seventy-five claimants | terested, P! nted by various attorneys, and whether they will abide by the court's order or will unite in an appeal is yet un- determined. Two claimants live here, Mrs. Bracel®n, referred to above, and Ed Denn'e, one of the survivors of the wreck, who is at present looking after his interests in the Klondike country.

" THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: RIGAT TO USE THE WATER State Poard of Irrigation Overrules Metion for Rehearing Case. ABANDONING DITCH FORFEITS RIGHTS pector Spearman of Crawford Re- s~Briefs In Behalt of press Company—Pan-American Carnival at Line (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. 26.—(Special.)— The state board of irrigation this morning overruled a motion for a rehearing of the case of the Farmere' and Merchants' Irri- gatlon company of Lexington against the Gothenburg er Power and Irrigation company. This action grew out of the ex- tension of the canal owned and operated by the Gothenburg company. The contention wos that the Gotbenburg company had no right to use water under its original claim for purposes other than, those specified in the grant. The extension was eighteen miles In length, and the company sought to turn the water from the old canal into the new one, instead of turning it back into the river. On a hearing several weeks ago the board declded that the com- pany could use the allotted amount of water foi irrigating purpcees, even In the extension. In the case of Nicholas McCabe against Maude Hinman, appealed from Lincoln county, the board decided that the aban- donment of an irrigating ditch forfeits all turther rights for the appropriation of water. The Hinman ditch, which fur- nished water for approximately 4,600 acr: of land near North Platte, was abandoned after it had been operated for several ye and subsequently an attempt was made to renew its operation. Nicholas Mc- Cabe had previously filed application for permission to appropriate water for the ir- rigation of practically the eame territory, and under the decision of the board today his cialm will be granted. Under Secretary Charles Spearman of Crawford, Inspector for the Second irriga- tion division, which conelsts of the morth- ern Nebraska territory, tendered his reig- nation today and the board appointed Page T. Francis, also of Crawford, as his succes- sor. Mr. Spearman found that the duties of his office conflicted with his private busi- ness. The under secretaries are employed under a system of per diem compensation, which Is limited to $6 & day and neceasary expenses, the tota] paid to one in a year not to exceed $800. Sult Against Express Company. Briefs on behalt of the detendant in the case whereln Willlam F. Bechel is suing the Pacific Express company for damages because of criminal proceedings against him by the express company, were filed in the supreme court. The case is on the call for hearing at an early sitting of the court. The attorneys for the defendant call the court's attention to the enmtire history of the case. After telling ot Bechel's con- nectlon with the company as chief auditor, it is asserted that the methods of the au- diting department had grown up under his administration and had been adopted and prescribed by him. Continuing, they sa “He employed all persons in the depart- ment, and, subject to the superior author- ity of E. M. Morsman, who was president of the company, he was the head of the department. It was the accounting depart- ment of the company, to which all agents and officers of the company, Who received and diebursed money, rendered periodical statements, showing receipts and disburse- ments of the money which came to their hands. Bechel wae, therefore, charged with all the duties necessary to the proper supervision of such department. The auditor's office, however, recelved no money excepting: that which #as drawn from the treasurer. All remittances from the nu- merous agents were made directly to the treasurer, who, as well each agent, made a perlodical statement to the auditor, so that the auditor's office was a check upon the treasurer, as well as upon every agent.” . Methods of Receiving Money, As to the methods of receiving money it Is sald: “An auditor's draft drawn upon the treasurer of the company was the only legitimate means by which the auditor could obtain money. The use of the credit letter for that purpose was a gross abuse in the auditor's office. The credit letter was designed to correct errors In the ac- counts of the agents and, as is correctly stated by counsel for the other side in their argument, it was merely authority from the auditor to the agent to whom it was sent, to take credit for the amount named in the letter In the next statemert of the agent. All agents remitted cash di- rectly to the treasurer and sent their state- ments to the auditor, thus it s obvious that the only convenient way to correct an error where the agent had remitted to the treasurer more money than was due from him wae to authorize him to take credit for the amount overpald in his next state- ment. This was done by the credit letter, which, belng sent to the agent, came back to the auditor's office with the next state- ment of the agent as a voucher for the credit. It is also obvious that the amounts for which these credit letters would be fssued in the legitimate use of them would be small and could not, in the nature of the business, be very numerous. The treasurer being the final custodian of the funds of the company, there was no legiti- mate use for the credit letter between the auditor and treasurer and this use was adopted only because the letter would come back Into the auditor's office with the next statement made by the treasurer showing his receipts, disbursements and amount on hand, as the voucher for the credit, where it could be and was destroyed by the thieves in the auditor's office, whereas the auditor's draft was retalned by the trea urer. In one case the treasurer's state- ment would show the payment of money on an auditor’s draft, In the other it would show, not the payment of money, but an authorized credit, as if an error had been committed in a former statement. For this reason the credit letter would be returned the treasurer's statement. It is al apparent that no person in the auditor's office could get money from the treasurer without he was authorized by Bechel to make drafts and credit letters, and it was undisputed that this authority was confined to Bechel, T. K. Sudborough and A. J. Hunt and that during the period covered by the transactions Involved the authority had been taken from Sudborough. “The auditor's office, however, disbursed a large amount of money each month, prin- cipally for transportation and salaries of the employes of the office. This money was obtained from the treasurer, and the audi- tor made each month an ‘auditor's state- ment' showing the receipts and disburse- ments of the auditor's office for the pui pose of accounting for the money." Pan-American Carniv The Pan-American carnival, which {s be- ing beld at the Auditorium under the ausplces and direction of the Ladies’ City Improvement soclety of Lincoln, was opened to the public tonight. The proceeds will be used by the society in improving the ap- pearance of the city. The Pan-Amerlean carnival is the second edition of the ear- ol hich last yoar netted the women over $1,000. During the year past the soclety purchased an ambulance for the city, awarded prises for the best kent lawna, contributed to the McKinley chime fund and assisted in otherwise Improving the appearance of the streets. In the carntyal this year are booths rep- resenting Old Mexico, the Sandwich lelands, South America, Canada and, in addition, there s a midway under the management of Mrs. Mitchell, an olden-times cottage, a wild west show and an Indian village, bo- sldes a Deadwood coach arranged by Miss Helen Gregory of Lead, 8.

B, Ogden, vice president; Mrs. Nellie Richardson. secretary; Mrs. Lewls Gregory, treasurer, and Mrs. Levering, auditor The attendance tonight fully met the ex- pectations of the promoters and filled the big room Almost to the limit of its capacity. Ono of the features of tonight's entertain- ment was a minstrel performance under the direction of Lute Mors Thompaon's Marble Fountain. D. E. Thompson has directed a commu- nication to the city councll, offering to erect A marble fountain at the Intersection of Eleventh and O streets. He says: ‘‘The construction and material shall be of the best and without any expense whatever to the city, but the city, through your body, shall agree to keep all parts of the foun- tain in repair for all time and shall turnish water free for Its operation. The water basin for this proposed fountain requires a ground space of forty feet in diameter. EXTENSION FROM VERDIGRIS Elkhorn Ratl d Files Resolution of a Continuation ot Ita Line. PIERRE, 8.

D, Jan. 28.—(Special.)— Some of the ploneers of the Black Hills call attention to Inaccuracies occurring in the recent Washington interview of Colonel W. F. Cody relatlve to the old Deadwood coach, about to be presented to the National museum. The famous Concord coach factory of Abbott, Downing & Co. Is at Concorl, | pital of New Hampshire, and not in | the Vermdut, as asserted in the interview. No treasure coach ran between Deadwood and Cheyenne in 1574, the first settlement of the Black Hills being 1876. The ploneers of the Black Hills have ne record of an Indlan fight on Hat creek In 1876, in which, according to Colonel Cody's interview, eleven men were killed defending the coach. A year ago last August Wild Bill's show visited Concord, N. H. The Abbott-Down- ing factory gave its employes half a holiday to permit them to see the old Deadwood coach, which had returned to the city of its nativity after thirty-seven years of wan- dering in the west. The officlals of the Ab- bott-Downing company rode in the coach during the parade. FAVORS GOVERNMENT CABLE House Commerce Committee Votes for Federal Construction and Operation, WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—By a vote of 8 to 7 the house committee on commerce today decided in favor of government con- struction, operation and maintenance of a Pacific cable and ordered a favorable report on the bill of Representative Corliss of Michigan, providing the detalls of such a government undertaking.

When things go wrong, dinner I8 burned and children cry, It is not so easy to look pleasant, but when sickness In the family adds to the burden it bee comes very heavy.

When my children was sick it cured them, and when I became overtaxed and weary Peruna restored me, and if anyone in my household caught cold a few doses of Peruna administered at once prevented unpleasant results.

An old cold Is chronic catarrh. Catarrh is llable to settle anywhere in the system. While it 1s true that Peruna cures catarrh wher- ever located, yet it is advisable for every- one to use Peruna as a preventive, and not walt until catarrh has fastened !tself in some part of the systom.
