The preliminary report covers only the
first form. but the experiments with the
other FERNS continue.
The commission decided to attempt the
inoculation Of calves, not with matter
taken directly from human victims, but
with cultures made therefrom. The exper-
imentation covered thirty-nine separate
cultures. twenty-three from adults and
sixteen from children.
The results were that nineteen calves
simultaneously treated did not show the
slightest effect. inc showed after four

farm work.

DON'T LIKE ROCKEFELLER
His Gift to University Of Nebraska
More Than Likely to Be
Turned Down.
Special to The Journal,

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 2.-The John
Rockefeller donation Of $4,000 for
a University of Nebraska building de-
voted to religious and scientific study,
is not likely to be accepted, for the
reason that the remaining $4,000 to
be contributed by the state or friends
Of the university cannot be raised.
Those were the terms OH which Mr..
Rockefeller made his proffer, and the
committee. which for months has been
working to raise the amount, has
about abandoned its task. The COM
nittee has another month before the
time limit expires, but has little hope
of success. Not half the required
amount has been promised.
The prejudice against Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter and opposition to accepting any
sort Of a gift from him is assigned as
the cause Of the failure.

in 1883 when he undertook to conduct a, campaign designed to win for his friend Thomas E. Benedict, the speakership of the state assembly. MT. Parker had as the leader of the opposing forces that master of political strategy, Dan- .iel Manning. As usually happened, Daniel Manning's opponent went down in defeat, but he had put up a wonder full fight, and the man who was des- tined to become President Cleveland's s first secretary of the treasury was conn pelled to exert himself to the utmost in order to compass the defeat of the almost unknown young lawyer from Kingston.
 Judge Parker was always a strong partisan, and he was chosen as dele- gate to several state and national con- ventions, in all of which he played the role of adviser rather than of talker He is generally thought to have been largely instrumental in bringing about the first nomination of MT. Cleveland. being, of course. at that time in full accord with his quondam foe, MT. Man ming. After MT. Cleveland's election he rendered MT. Parker the appointment of first assistant postmaster general, but this being declined, 1t was given to Adlai E. Stevenson and indirectly re- suited in making him vice president of the United States.
 At about this time there began to be a manifest coolness between President Cleveland and David B. Hill who had succeeded him as governor of New York. Mr. Parker was soon regarded as Hill man, although he was never really what might be called an anti Cleveland man. At any rate in 1885. when Judge Westbrook of the supreme court died and it was universally as- Yssr ~Irr 1.r.r f<, David M. De Witt, Governor Hill passed over his claims and appointed MT. Parker. The following year Judge Parker was nominated for the full term and elected, the Republicans naming no candidate against him. Judge Parker was further honored by Governor Hill by an appointment to the second divi- sion of the court of appeals, being the youngest man that ever sat on that

JUDGE ALTON B. PARKER DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY

est indeed explains why the people at large are, ordinarily so familiar with che records and even with the personal appearance of the men selected as the national candidates of the Democratic and Republican parties The informa- ton is supplied in advance by the news papers, who recognize the demand and are not slow to meet it.
 During the past generation almost every man who has risen to the dignity of a presidential candidacy has had In his early life something unusual, some thing unique This was the case with Lincoln, the one time rail splitter; with Johnson, his second vice president, who was in early manhood a tailor; with Grant, who though a West Point grad uate had become a country store keep CT; with Garfield, the ex-canal team 1river; with Arthur, the ex-district school teacher; with Cleveland, the ex- sheriff; with Roosevelt, the ex-cowboy; with Mckinley, the ex-private soldier. And the list might be extended almost indefinitely. But with Judge Parker 1t is difficult to find anything in his earth ly life to differentiate him from his fellows. He simply developed to the full the excellent mind with which na- ture had endowed him and cultivated those traits in which he recognized that he was lacking. The history of AL ton B. Parker's boyhood and youth reads like the history of the boyhood and youth of ninety-five out of hun dred other lads
 Judge Parker is not yet f1fty-two years of age and so far as. physical vigor is concerned might just as well be forty-two. He is "as tough as a pine knot" as one of his friends recently put it, and if the fates should decree that he shall undergo the strain of a presidential canvass, that awful some more than one good man, there is little doubt that, no matter how it may re- suit, he will come through it without serious effects
