d~isclosee the presence OF these parasites In
large numbers. Mr.. Mcintyre and family
are among the old settlers Of this neigh
borhood and are highly respected. When
tho members of the family were first taken
sick 1t was supposed to have been due to
he hog being afflicted with cholera. though
when killed it had all the appearance OF
being In a perfectly healthy condition. The
microscopic examination OF the meat, how

they want to finish the business of the ses-
sion so that they may go home and plow."
That was a good campaign talk before
election last fall" replied Allen OF Furnas.
"and We all used 1t more or less, but it
don't work on this body now"
The facts are that the adjournment will
not delay the business of the session. as
the only business transacted had the legis-
lature remained in session would have been
a f~ruitless vote on senator. Senator Prout
OF Gage was OF the opinion that the senators
needed a few home made pills to give them
q new stimulus for next week. Talbot of
Lancaster suggested that there were first
class physicians in Lincoln II any of the
senators were sick, but Allen OF Furnas
thought the senators ought to have a chance
occasionally to visit their constituents and
secure advice from them, to which Senator
Prout added that republican members were
never afraid to face their constituents. Bust
ness matters at home needing attention was
the real reason OF the desire Of several sena-
tors for an adjournment and they finally
succeeded in securing the favor of the ma
tority. They did not want to leave with
the session going on, as their votes are
needed to keep the fusionists in a minority.
Miller OF Buffalo is fast making a record
as one OF the humorous members OF the
body. He hurls populistic stump speeches
at the republicans on the south side Of the
senate with a vehemence that affords consid-
cradle diversion for the majority. He OPP
posed adjournment Friday because he was
not a light" enough statesman to ride on
a pass and Furthermore when he reached
the end OF the railroad he was like Sheridan
on his long ride. still twenty miles from

lator without a pass.
