RELIEF IN NEBRASKA.
MINISTER'S NOW TAKE A HAND IN
THE GAME.
& Host of Complaints Filed Alleging
Partially, and They Are of u
Very Severe Nature.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 10.-The Lutheran
Ministerial association has taken
hand in the squabbIe over relief destri-
button in this state. At the annual
meeting held in Ashland last night,
great part of the time was taken up in
the discussion of the relief work in the
different western settlements. A host
of complaints came before the confer
ence regarding Partially in the distri-
button. These complaints were of so
severe a nature that they could not be
ignored by the conference. A special
relief commission was therefore ap-
pointed to assist the people in making
their claims known and also to assist
in getting supplies. This commission
is not intended as an opponent to the
state commission, but only TO facilitate
the work. On the floor Of the confer
ence it was stated that in one place
the persons in authority acted on the
principle mo immersion, no assist
ance." and that favOritism as to
creed, nationality, politics and relation
ship was prevalent in many places.
Yesterday, at Kearney, a number OF
half famished farmers from Phillips
county, seeing a car on the Union Pa
cifc track, loaded with relief supplies.
proceeded to help themselves. A con-
servative estimate made by parties ac-
quainted with the situation is that it
will take over $4,000 worth of feed and
grain to supply the farmers of this
county with what they need for next
seasons sowing,

TEXAS FEVER LINE.
1T HAS BEEN EXTENDED TOWARD
THE COAST.
Important Rules and Regulations
Governing Railway managers,
stock Men and Others.

Washington, Feb. 1o.-In accordance
with the act of Congress of May %, 1894
the secretary of agriculture has issued
TO managers and superintendents of
railways of the United States, stockmen
and Others" the usual regulations con-
corning transportation. to be in force
from the 18th day of February to the 9Th
day of December next.
The principal difference between the
regulations and those of last year lies in
the fact that the Texas fever line, as it
is called, has been extended westward to
the Pacific coast The line from the Pa
eific coast to its junction with the old
line, which formerly did not extend be-

Several of the Small Craft Suffer
Severely.

Severely.
Dublin, Feb. 10.-A terrific snow storm
prevailed in Ireland Saturday night and
today, the snow lying three feet deep
on the level, and in some places it drifted
to the depth of from eight to ten feet,
stopping trains. The storm is so violent
at Queenstown that all the telegraph lines
have suspended business. The tempera-
ture is the lowest recorded for forty
years. An unusually high tide did much
damage
Much damage is also done along the
shore. Several small crafts have
foundered.
Traffic in the harbor and on the river
is suspended.
Quite lot of cross channel steamers
are weather-bound in the harbor.

REGULATING CORPORATIONS.
Nebraska's Legislature Has Several
of its Hands Full.


Omaha, Feb. 1o.-A special to the Bee
from Lincoln, Neb., says:
No less than twenty-seven bills have
been introduced in the upper house Of
the legislature for the supervision,
regulation and control of the several
corporate interests OF the state. There
are bills fixing the charges of sleeping
and dining cars, reducing telegraph
and telephone rates. regulating trans
fer on street railways, taxing insur-
ance companies and reducing stock
yards commissions. PaWnbrokers are
attacked and grain commission brokers
promise to be routed entirely. Foreign
corporations come in for liberal share
of attention, and the railroad cou-
panies are drawn into the melee by one
or two anti-pass bills. The sleeping
car companies are attacked from sew
eral direction and one of the five
bills already introduced would, if en-
forced. work great injury to the sleep
ing car companies. These bills compel
sleeping car companies to maintain
numerous offices in the state and limit
rates.

periments have been made secretly at

smallpox serum that will obtain the same
results in its branch that anti-toxine
has for diphtheria. The experiments are
under the direction of Health Commits

the Washington University. These two
men have materially been aided in their
work by a series of tests made last De-
cember at the quarantine station at New

these experiments, DR.. RaVoll at once set
to work two weeks ago and vaccinated a
strong, healthy heifer with baccilla. ia
ken from smallpox patient. After the
animal had sufficiently recovered, he
took some of its blood and extracted from
it the serum. The first actual tests were
made only three or four days ago, SO
that the results, whether favorable or
otherwise, cannot yet be learned.

1t is not believed any credence should be
put in the rumor. Sable Island can only
be reached at great risk this time of the

news would be by signalling a passing
vessel and that can be done only in
