The state veterinarian says that glanders
bids fair to soon be q disease Of the past in
Nebraska, and that it Is now practically
under control. Since the first day of April
$50 horses have been examined, supposed to
have been effected by the disease, and go of
them have been killed. Reports, however,
constantly come to the veterinarian and
board of secre taries that the disease exists in
different parts of the state, but this is largely
due to the system adopted for the absolute
suppression of the disease. Sher.ffs are or
dered to keep an eye out for indications OF
the disease and to report TO the state board
whenever fears are such as to warrant it.
For this reason the disease is frequently re-
ported to exist here and there by the state
press, but investigation lately, in very
great majority OF cases, proves the report and
fears to have been groundless. DIR. Gerth
states that an occasional case of genuine
glanders comes to light, but they are
few and far between, and that he doubts of
there being half dozen glandered horses in
the state. He also said that the expressed
fears that the law providing for payment
for horses killed because of having the dis
ease would lead to the shipment of horses
with glanders into the state, were not well
founded. THE penalty is such that possible
criminals respect the law"
BETTER HAVE MINDED.
John l.. Mcconnell was arrested last even
ing for refusing to tear down the walls of
his building, burned recently, by order OF
the city council. Since the Oakley fire the
walls left standing have been in a dangerous
condition and fears have been entertained
that they would fall and do bad work. They
were condemned soon after the fire and he
was ordered to tear them down, but for
some reason failed to do so,
and yesterday at o'clock they took a tumble,
damaging Mr.. Newman's store room consid-
erably, shattering the roof and covering his
stock of goods with plaster dust. Fire War
den Newbery Immediately filed complaint
against Mcconnell, charging him with un-
lawfully permitting unsafe walls to stand on
his property after they had been condemned,
and he was at once placed under arrest.
JOINED FOR TRIAL.
John and Henry Zerung filed their petition
In the district court of Lancaster county this
morning against Fred Funke, alleging that
the said kunke threatens and is about to
build q solid iron and masonry wall to pro-
1ect into the street and property owned by
the said petitioners on Twelfth street, in
block No. So, in the original town site of Lin
coin, and that the defendant further proposes
to build stairways, running to the second
story of Funke's opera house, overhanging
the sidewalks on the street, to the extent
that 1t will become common public nuisance
and greatly damage plaintiffs property, and
further that Twelfth street is occupied by
business houses, and that the side
walk and street are necessary for business
egress and the convenience of the public, and
that the damage by building the proposed
walls and stairways will be irreparable to
owners Of property on the street and to all
business interests. 1t is further alleged that
Twelfth street Is one Of the principal thor
oughfares of the city, and that large numbers
of people constantly pass and repass along
the street, and that the building of the con-
templated walls and stairways will be con-
slant obstructions, and therefore complain
ants pray that the court shall issue a tem-
porary injunction enioining the defendant
net to make any permanent distractions that
will in any way interfere with the rights of
other property owners on the block or in any
way Obstruct the street. and such other re-
lief as in equity may appear.

CITY NEWS AND NOTES.
The fire alarm was sounded this mornin
at 10 o'clock and the fire department fairl
few to the corner of Twenty-seventh and +,
streets, where the fire was located, but arrive
, TOO late to save small barn owned by S.
Smith, valued at $780, uninsured Otht
property was in great danger, but no furth,
loss is reported. Fires in Lincoln have bee
quite frequent Of late.
There Is a growing feeling here that som
thing must be done to secure greater wat
pressure In the event of a big fire the wat
supply would not be SUFFICIENT to check
control It. There is great danger In Il
present unfortunate water supply. 1t is n
enough to fight fire, and a thirsty publ
rebel against drinking brine. This is b
tween two fires with a vengeance.
