Investigations Show That the
State Institutions Under the
Democratic Administra
tion Are in Good Shape
(Special to the Evening Journal.)
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5 The efforts
of Felix Newton, a discharged and
disgrunted employee of the Lincoln
asylum, to involve the governor and
the superintendent in a scandal,
proved abortive. From the board of
public lands and buildings, a major
ity of the members of which are Re
publicans, were compelled to laugh
the complaints out of court. Attorney
General Thompson gave it as the
opinion of the board that the body
was without jurisdiction or authority
to hear complaints of that nature,
such power being vested wholly in
the governor.
Merely for the purpose of showing
that consistency is a jewel worn by
Republican officials, It should be
known that the same board that ad-
His Brief Residence in
Central City.
In speaking of the death of the
late Washington Smith, who passed
away in that city, the Central City
Republican and Record says:
Washington smitn, who was mak
ing his home with his daughter, Mrs.
Cleve Scott, died suddenly Monday
Tnnrnine. his ailment being heart
disease. For nearly a year he had
been falling in health, and for sev
eral months had been confined to his
bed. The remains were taken to
Plattsmouth Tuesday, and the fun
eral was held from the Presbyterian
church of that city at 10 a. m. Wed
nesday. Previous to the departure from
here, a short funeral service was held
at the home of Rev. Bovard, and
in connection with It the folowlng
served as pall bearers: M. V. Scott,
Dr. J. E. Benton, E. E. Ross, J. W.
Vieregg, J. P. Taylor and O. T. Bish
op. The remains were accompanied
to Plattsmouth by the widow of the
deceased and by Mr. and Mrs. Cleve
Scott."' " '' ' ' ' ' "
Mr. Smith was in his seventy -third
year when death claimed him. His
career was both long and useful. For
years he was one of the leading and
and most highly respected citizens of
Plattsmouth. He held the responsible
position of foreman of the large Bur-
that the Institutions of the state are
being extravagantly managed, and
that a deficit is in sight for nearly
every one of them. The answer to
that is fcund in the reports tiled with
the governor. In each case the re
port shows a decreased cost per capita
for maintenance, and this, too, des
pite the great increase in the market
prices of foodstuffs, clothing and
fuel.
Much has been said about the leg
islature enacted by the last legisla
ture. There has been a concerted
effort on the part of an unfriendly
press to create the impression that
practically all of the laws passed
were defective and invalid. An exami
nation shows that the last legislature
passed about two hundred laws. All
of these except three are now in full
force and effect. These laws have
been declared invalid by- the courts.
These are the bank guarantee law,
the non-partisan judiciary law and
the normal school law. There are now
pending to test the validity of two
more laws. These art lens involve the
law rcKuiaiint; bonding and surety
companies and the law treating the
new medical board.
So far the courts have sustained
three of the laws passed. They are
the ei(;lit o'clock closing law, the
cotpoiuiiou t.w law. and the law

laws passed by

The decree was granted the plaintiff
and alimony allowed and defendant in
the sum of $1,000 on condition that
the defendant amend her answer in

ant amended instanter and asked
leave to file answer. The plaintiff
accepted. Alimony alowed defend
ant in the "sum of $1,00Q and each

In the case of Gering vs. Leyda, a

a discharged employee of the Sold

iss Anna Heisel and Little
Edith Dovey Both Suffer
Painful Injuries.
The bad weather yesterday and the
lght before was productive of a num
ber of severe injuries to different
people in the city, some of a really
Berious nature. Among others who
suffered as a result of falls was Miss
Edith Dovey who unfortunately fell
upon the stairs at the high school
building, sustaining a broken leg.
The Injury Is quite painful and will
keep the young lady In the house for
sometime to come. This morning
she was resting easier but still suf
fered severe pains as a result of the
fall. She was taken Immediately af
ter the fall to a surgeon's office where
the Injured member was Bet and later,
she was taken to her home.
Miss Anna Heisel, . one of the
teachers in the high school, and a
most popular young lady, was an
other victim of the treacherous Ice.
She slipped and fell upon the iron
step at the postofflce building and
sustained a broken ankle. She was
conveyed Immediately to a surgeon's
office and the broken ankle set. Later
she was taken to her home where she
will be compelled to remain for quite
while. Her place In the public
school will be taken by a substitute.
The storm Is quite general over
the middle west and has been pro
ductive of much suffering and consi
derable Iosb to property as well as
Injury to persons. Trains are badly
delayed and malls are slowand de
cidedly irregular. The Missouri Paci
fic Is getting its trains through as
near schedule as could be expected.
The train from the Bouth this morn
ing was only two hours late, quite a
dlRtlnct Improvement over the time
of the day before. The Burlington Is
also Buffering from the effects of the
storm, although the train from the
east due at 8:16 was practically on
time this morning. No. 6 enat bound
due here at 7:53 a. m., was several
hours late, however. No. 10, the
Atlantic limited, was quite late. It Is
believed, however, that today will Bee
the schedules nearly or quite restored
and that trains will bo making re
gular time by night.
Another victim of the storm was
Mrs. Nelson Jones who slipped and
fell at the Iron step to the postofflco
building this afternoon. Mrs. Jones
fortunately sustained no severe In
juries but was quite badly bruised
and shaken by the fall. This step is
a dangerous place and should be pro
tected as it Is liable to cause per
manent Injury to patrons of the of
fice. Thos. M. Patterson did a pub
lic Bervice by getting a dry goods box
and putting It over the slippery plnce
at the door, thereby preventing peo
ple from treading on the smooth sur
