Nebraska . Leading shorthorn State
Only three states in the union will
receive as high as $500 from the
shorthorn breeders association to
ward the shorthorn exhibits of the
country this year. The states are Ne
braska. Iowa and Minnesota. Upon
investigation it was shown that Ne
braska was entitled to as much con-
sideration as a ShorthOrn state as any
state in the county. and SO she was
placed this year among the top notch
ers. Those who attend the different
state fairs of the county have been
aware of this for some years. but 1t
was not until this year that the board
Of directors Of the shorthorn associa-
ton could be made to see the wrong
position in whicS Nebraska has been
placed in former years. and the new
board promptly changed the record
SO that this state is placed in the first
class. Visitors to the state fair this
year. September to 8. will probably
see the advantage gained in the in
creased exhibits of shOrthorn cattle.
Nebraska Fair Beats Them All.

replied that all the machinery lots

somewhere on the ground. Later the
following reply was received by MIR

that the space on the machinery
ground is all assigned. You state that

diets Acknowledgement Engi-
neer Makes Complaint.

With several hundred cadets of the
Massachusetts naval militia on board,
the training ship Ranger. formerly a
cruiser of the United States navy,
came into this port yesterday morn
ing and dropped anchor in the harbor
on Old Dominion pier A. The Rang
or will remain here several days and

This is the annual cruise of the
Massachusetts naval reserves. The

partment for their use and the craft
is in charge of Captain Low, a re-
tired naval officer.
Engineer Rudolph Schefschek. who
was discharged from the Ranger at
Bristol and brought here by that YES
sci, complained to United States
Shipping Commissioner ]. +. r. Stu
art yesterday morning that the Off
GERS of the Ranger would not pay
him his transportation back TO Bos

at Bristol because he complained
about the bread given him TO eat
He says that he asked the officers
to put him ashore at that port. but
they refused, bringing him here.
Captain Stuart advised Schefschek
to go. to Boston and appeal to the
commissioner of the state for the
amount of his transportation.

A campaign Of education among the
people of this city for the proven
ton Of typhoid fever is 10 be jnau-
guIai ed a, once by the city board OF
health. This was decided upon last
night by the city board of health at
its regular meeting in the city hall
II was decided TO print 1000 dodgers
instructing the public what to do 10
prevent typhoid. These dodgers Will
be distributed within the next few
weeks and one will be put into every
home in the city.
Only three members of the board
DR. Aaron Jeffery. the city health Off
Ger; DR.. j. w. Ayler, the city physi-
clan and secretary OF the board, and
II. c. NOrseworthy--were present last
night, but a busy session was held, u
number OF important matters being
discussed. The board unanimously
voted to recommend to the city coun-
ell that the city adopt sections rs and
20 OF the regulations of The State
board of health relative to dry
closets, their construction and loca-
ton. These rules are very stringent
and DR.. Jeffery wants 10 see them en-
forced here.
The hoard also recommended to the
council that an appropriation be made
with which 20 construct a sewer on
Twenty-fifth street between Chestnut
avenue and Oak avenue and along Oak

sewer in that section now and the
health officer believes that one is
absolutely necessary.
This matter was brought up in the
council this year and a contract be-
tween the city and the Powell Trust
Company. Inc, was drawn up. but
never signed because the council OBJ
jceted to some of the provisions put

board recommended to the councp
that 800 be appropriated for the sec
rotary of the board for his work in

Won't Have Any Saloons

Sentiment at Petersburg is de- cidedIy opposed to the Accusing Of saloons at that place. It was thought that the incorporation of the town, accomplished a couple of weeks ago, might have wrought some change in the opinion pre- vailing prior 10 that time, but sub sequent reports are to the effect that the anti-5aloon sentiment is as strong if rag stronger than ever, The summary punishment meted out in the Powers, Stewart ard Thomas cases is bound to have a decidedly damp ming effect on the ardor of those Wn0 have heretofore 'peddled b2oze. . so the probabil- tiles are that in toe future, Peters burg will be dry town" Ow- ing to the f7et that the law in this district calls Tor municipal elections the first Tuesday in April each year, the recently elected town council of Petersburg will not take office until after that day, thus ob- Tiating the need of another cleo ton.
