Board Investigates Charges Against
Commandant Barnes.
Lincoln, Sept. 20. Tho board ot
public lands and buildings, whJch In
vestigated the chnrges against Com
mandant Ell Bntncs of tho soldiers'
homo at Grand Island, preferred by
Adjutant Joseph McGraw, has not yet
mado Its formal report, but has prac
tically agreed that tho report will bo
to tho effect that tho homo Is not be
ing conducted as It should bo and that
thoro Is a lack of harmony among the
employees nnd consequently dissen
sion among tho membors. Insofar as
tho charges of graft is concerned, tho
board will report these chargeB woro
not sustained.
The report wBl show that tho mem
bors In tho hospitals aro not rocelving
tho kind of food' they should receive
nnd Hint tho farmer has not dono as
woll as ho should havo done.
It wns brought out' In tho evidence
that sovcral fist fights h(d occurred
between employees nnd tho manage
ment had permitted tho homo to run
down and jt was in a deplorable con
dition. While membors of tho board nro ol
tho opinion that It would bo to the
best Interests of tho statu it both Com
mandant Barnes and Adjutant Mc
Graw, as woll as tho surgeon, Dr.
Swlgert, woro discharged, they will
doubtless muko no such recommenda
tion, but will simply report that un
der tho present management the homo
Is not being conducted ns it should be.

has sot asldo tho rules adopted by tha
board nun Installed a now set of rules
enmo ns a surprlso to tho board,
though tho governor stood by tho com
mander, Inasmuch ns he said ho had
not Blgned tho rules of tho board. The
rules of tho board havo ooen In force
for some yenrs, it being tho opinion
of tho members that thoy stand until
chnnged. Such nlso was tho opinion
of tho nttorney general and tho su
premo court ns evidenced by tho quo
tations from tho rules In a rocont case
regarding tho pension money of the

Fine Attraction at the Phelan Opera
House for Fair Dates

visiting Alliance would want to see a
good show, and one based upon west

after considerable effort succeeded in
securing the well-known drama, "Mon
tana, ' with a large and excellent com
pany to play it. Special scenery and
effects will be used, and the play will
be put on in the same faithful manner
that it is being played at all of the
metropolitan theatres. There will be
many attractions during the fair that
people can see any old time, but this
play "Montana" can be seen only upon
special occasions and it would be well
for visitors when coming to Alliance to
proceed at once to Holsten's drug store
and get their seats reserved before the
parlormance begins, when all the seats
will have been sold-
