the asylum as If some real reforms had been
wroughJ.
It was evident for several years that the
Institutions of the state were crowded , and
the last legislature made appropriations for
substantial additions to the buildings at
Norfolk , Hastings and Lincoln , In order
that a larger number of Inmates might be
accommodated. But during the last two
years , when many Insane persons were need
ing euro and treatment nnd were being held
In the counties waiting for transfer the Lin
coln hospital has refused to receive them ,
giving as the reason that there was lack of
room. The records , however , disclose the
fact that this was not the real reason.
In April , 1S9S , from the 1S97 appropria
tions , the capacity of the hospital was in
creased by the completion of an infirmary
and other additions nt a cost of several
thousand dollars. The total cost of new ad
ditions and furnishings was $10,000 , and In
April twenty-two beds were added , but In
stead of yielding to the demands of counties
desiring patients to be cared for the Insti
tution actually reduced the number of In-
mnl'cs so that during last May the number
wns down to 357 , as compared with the 417
who wcro accommodated ten years ago.
FlKUrrn on Inmates.
To show how little reason there Is In this
talk about lack of room It Is only necessary
to quote from the public records which show
the number In the Institution under Dr.
Knapp In 1887-8 , as compared with the re
ports of the present management :
18SS. 1897. 1893.
January 415 361 3GJ
February 417 3G1 267
March 412 3b9 3C7
For the latter part of the year 1887 the
reports show the following number of In
mates for each month : July. 389 ; August ,
390 ; October , 393 ; November , 399 ; Decem
ber , 396. This shows that In the course of
ten years the number of Inmates have been
materially reduced , whllo at the earae tlmo
the capacity of the buildings has been
largely Increased. That lack of room was
not the real reason for this reduction Is
proven by the action of the manngcinent In
receiving patients who had
well-to-do rela
tives. Including a number who furnished
tholr own attendants , whllo poorer people
were refused admission. In many cases un
reasonable demands have been made on the
authorities of the counties as to the amount
of clothing and other outfit that must come
with each patient before admission. In
thsso various ways the Institution has been
able to "save" money by compelling counties
to furnish clothing , by utilizing attendants
provided by prlvato parties , by cutting down
the number of Inmates and finally by feedIng -
Ing these who remained on adulterated food.
It Is a significant fact that the bills for
everything bought for the Institution go
through the hands of Rowlck. This has led
to a scandal In connection with a Lincoln
wholesale house which every effort Is be
ing mcde to hush up.
1'IouiTM for Statr Olllrrrn.
In the manipulation of the funds the ap
propriation for $500 for "amusements" re
ceives the special attention of Rewlck and
as It turns out ho Is about the only person
who Is "amused. " The fund has always
been appropriated with the Idea that It
would furnish entertainment for the pa
tients , but Rowlck has diverted It Into a
channel where It will serve to entertain
himself and the reform state offlclnls.
The legislature appropriates money to
maintain n hothouse on a considerable
scale , to provide fresh flowers for the
patients. Under the present management
no flowers are furnished In any of the wardr ,
and a rule has been made forbiddlnc any
patient to enter the flower house. In ad
dition to this , the amusement fund has
been used to maintain this hothouse , and
I the tlowers which should go to the patients
I are in reality turned over to thn officials
t of the Institution and the "reformers" at
the state house. Indisputable evidence has
been secured to show that the state of
ficials from the governor down receive from
the asylum a large amount of cut ( lowers ,
uhlcn if bought on the market would cost
hundreds of dollars annually. Secretary
Porter , \\ho some time ago appropriated the
hay crown on the capltol grounds to his
own use , seems to have regarded the product
of the "amusement fund" as ODD of bis

particular perquisites of office. Twice each
week the team of the reform secretary has
been driven to the asylum , to brlns back
flowers and fresh vegetables for the family
use , and If round-cornered cards were Is
sued to show the amount saved to the
household expense account of the Merrlck
county statesman , there would bo figures
regarding the hay , flowers nnd vegetables
grown at the public expense that would
furnish something besides amusement to
the reform crowd.
Rewlck's method in handling the amuse
ment fund Is to draw vouchers against It ,
have receipts signed by Inmates of the In
stitution , and uses part of the money In
buying supplies for the hothouse. The sig
natures of the Inmates are verified by a
young son of Rewlck'B , and often It Is
ct'ly n murk that Is made by the Inmate ,
who Is unable to write his name. This
signing of receipts Is the only part tha In
mates hnvo In the "amusement , " and the
vouchers are now on file In the state
auditor's ofllce as the best possible proof
of a most peculiar method of dolns busi
ness. The following vouchers have been
drawn against the fund by Rewlck , the re
ceipts being by Insane persons at the hos

It Is In the receipting of such vouchers
as these that Inmates are furnished amuse

of this kind that the tables of state em

AIIIIKCN SliMtly Multiply.
The hospital wns provided with a chapel
or amusotncnt hall , the expense for buildIng -
Ing It being nearly $4,00o , yet during the
last two years no attempt has been made
to hold religious services In the hall , and
the times when It has been opened for
amusements or entertainments have been
few and far between. Parties and elaborate
luncheons have been given to city frlenda
and political dignitaries , but none to the
Inmates , except the regular meals , where
the Kansas City oleomargarine Is the crown-
I Ing article of diet. From the best of
| sources It Is learned that no delicacies are
't ' furnished to the sick , that medical atten
tion is often lacking and that some of the
patients hire attendance of physicians and ,
nurses from outside souibts at their own ,
expense. The assistant physician of the i
Institution , who draws $1,500 a year , finds
so little to do In the meantime that he Is
able to devote six hours a day to his duties
as treasurer of Governor Holcomb's In-
| Euranco company and the recent political
, decision made by the attorney general that
a state employe "who gives all his time
to the state" receives no attention from the
asylum reformers. All the loudly promised
reforms have been torgotten and the pres.
I ent management Is thoroughly endorsed by
the state officials , who draw bouse rent
from the public funds , pay extra money 1
to their deputies , open election returns In
the middle of the .night , and who declare
that the county treasurers are thieves and
"the delinquent tax list Is worthless. "
lU-piilillriin Itally at
EDGAR , Neb. , Oct. 8. ( Special , ) Judge
N. D. Jackson , the republican nominee for
attorney general and lion , W. E. Andrews ,
spoke hero list evening to a good house ,
notwithstanding the threatening and Inclem
ent appearance of the weather. Judge Jack
son dwelt upon matters pertaining to the
political affairs of the state and especially
the false claims of the populists of economy
In running the various state Institutions.
He showed conclusively , by figures from the
records , that It had actually cost raoro per
capita to run the state Institutions under
the present administration than It did under
the republican administration of Governor
Crounse. Mr. Andrews dweft on national
affairs. He showed how fully and com
pletely the republicans had fnlfirled all their
promises to the people and that the nation ,
I under republican rule , was again the fore-
1 most nation of the world. Ho dwelt with
'
caustic effect on the Inability , Incompctency
and uselessness of the Hon. R. Di Suther
land , representative from the Fifth district ,
nnd closes by an eloquent appeal to the voters
ers to uphold and sustain the president In
his noble and glorious work by electing the
entire republican ticket In Nebraska.
I.Holy I'attullftf Convention.
CENTRAL CITY , Neb. . Oct. 8. ( Special
Telegram. ) The populist convention here
today wns a lively affair. There were two
sots of delegates from Silver Creek , one
called the Woostor delegation and composed
of silver republicans , the other of rock-
ribbed populists. After an hour had been
spent In showing howr the rock-ribbed had
been defeated In caucus by silver repub
licans , democrats , prohibitionists and other
parties too numerous to mention , a second
caucus had been held presided over by the
same chairman and another sot of delegates
elected. Tbo convention by a vote of 2i
to 11 decided the Wooster delegation was
entitled to their seats. The populist dele
gation then retired , swearing vengeance at
the polls. In the meantime the democratic
convention , which wns held In an adjoining
room , had nominated Charles Wooster for
representative and J. W. Sparkb for count1
attorney. One ballot on each wns all that
was necessary to make them the nomlneea
of the populist convention. If the repub
licans make a Judicious selection at theli
convention Monday Mr. Wooster will remain
at home this winter. After the convention
Judge Robinson , fusion nominee , addressed
a small audience at the court house. There
, seems to bo little enthusiasm.
