NEBRASKA'S BUILDING.
II Is of Unique Romancsquc Style

III HS Of CHIVHo HsOhfHHcsVUc Styfe'
The style Of the Nebraska World S
Fair building is Romanesque, and its
arrangement combines to a remark
able degree the qualities Of utility,
beauty, and small cost for construc-
ton. The building will cover 1852
square feet, not including a large We
randa on the side adjoining the little
lake. The agricultural and general
exhibit is to be arranged in hall
100X60 feet Facing the exhibit hall
on the first floor are offices, balconies,
and lobby.
The second story has another large

In the case OF the anarchists, the
Supreme Court decides that the rule
of the common law, that defendant
must be present when sentence is
passed upon him and has the right to
object to the sentence, applies only
to the court that passes the sentence
and not to the appellate court which
does not sentence but only afiirms or
vacates the sentence or Judgment Of
the inferior court. This would seem
to be almost too plain for serious
argument.

Hospital Here the patient would
undergo a special system Of disinfec-
tion established by the board. The
hospital itself is protected from the
street by high fence. Once within
the building the patient is stripped
Of all clothing and put into one sec
ton, where he is kept for transmits
sion TO the island. The rooms are
divided by a galvanized partition, and
his clothing and effects arc left in the
other section for baking or destruc-
tion as the department may see fit"
Mr.. Craig thus described the proc
esses of "baking" and destroying.
The former is system Of disiHfection
with bichlOride of mercury, includ-

which absolutely renders them safe
for use on future occasion. The
latter, of course, means absolute de-
struction by burning.
This is also a recognized system in
the transmission of patients TO North
Brother Island. Half of the Recep-
ton Hospital rests on the dock, and
patients have merely to be shifted
out of it into the little steamer
Franklin Edison that conveys them
up the Sound. The vessel is minia-

vided in it for the comfort Of the

They shall use the best known

The physicians are required to keep
record to the number Of patients
treated, the length of time of such
treatment and the method used which
shall be filed with the governor, who
shall report the same to the General
Assembly by message, with such re-
commentators as he may desire to
make. The appointment of the ply
sicians and their experiments shall
continue for a period of nine months,
and they shall receive S75a north for
their services. Two thousand dollars

TIE Boston Globe says: IA bushel
ofwheat during the low tariff period
Of 1855 would buy 2la yards ofheavy
brown shifting. To-day it will buy
but 123 yards of the same quality Of
cloth. Such an argument weighs
more with the farmers than tons of
fine spun high protection sophistry.
Thirty years ago the farmer exchanged
his wool for cloth, and knew little of
highly-protected factories, for he pat
ronized the home factory in the neigh
boring valley. He got more cloth for
his wool than he gets to-day; and it
was not cloth that was one-third
shoddy. In 1866 a bushel Of wheat
would buy 1s3 yards of calico. To-day
1t will buy 153 yards Of the same
grade. And the farmer asks: What
have I gained by high protection:
Thirty-five yearsago bushel ofwheat
would pay the taxes on 5000. In 1891
it took 81 bushels of wheat to pay the
taxes on 5000. The bushel of wheat
| in 1855 paid taxes on ten acres Of land,
Now it pays the taxes on but little
over two acres.p

Road Supervisors should not forget
to put the roads in good repair as soon
as the frost gets out of the ground, SO
they can do the work. The delay in
getting at this work when it should be
done Injuries the roads for months to
come and requires double the work to
put the roads in proper repair. The
earlier work can be done in the spring,
the better the roads and the less the
expense. This fact was fully demon-
strated last spring. Some of the roads
that were cat up were left SO long be-
fore repairs were made, that it was al
most impossible to put them in good
