(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 2s.-(Speclal.) "I deny
emphatically and In toto the charge made
In the letter iient to The-.ee from the
asylum and published last Monday," Bald
Superintendent Wuodard.
The charges were In effect that owing to
a reduction In wages paid to attendants
that first-class help Is not employed at
the Institution! that attendants paid for by
relatives of patients are not furnished;
that several of the employes got drunk
' and fought recently, and that flowers
P a grown In the green houses were not used
GAIN they come with the fife nnd
drum
And the banner lifted high
above;
The tread again of the marching men
Keeps time with the lively notes they
love.
.tosh)
Tlie boys and girls, as the flag unfurls,
Salute with their shouts and waving
hands,
And cheers and songs from the voicing
throngs
Responses give to the martial bands.
Again do we hear the bugle clear
That starts the pulse as in other years,
In the wards, but thousands of roses had
been cut and used somewhere else, and
that the enormous crop of the poultry yard
did not get to the tables of the Inmates or
employes,
"I have no Idea who wrote the letter,"
said Dr. Woodard, but the writer has made
a wrong application In every Instance. It
la true that employes come and go, but 1
' am doing the best I can to keep good help.
When an employe does not do his duty as
, I think he should then I send him to the
' bookkeeper for his time. That fight which
was referred to as a disgrace, I knew noth
ing of until tho next morning. It was re
y ' ported to me that two of the employes had
- trouble and I discharged them both. I
have dune that on occasions when I thought
It was necessary, regardless of politics.
Hut the Institution is open and I court
visitors and nothing goes on there that 1
am ashamed of."
Dr. Woodard was asked If he had not
"fired" Williams, the farmer. "No, sir, he
was not 'fired,' " was the reply. "I needed
Williams' place for another and Informed
him of that fact. Dr. Hay was not 'fired.'
Ills place was simply needed and he had
to give way. Ih fact, Dr. Hay had no com
mission, and if he had no commission how
could he be 'fired?' "
It was reported that Mr. Williams had to
give way to an Inexperienced man who had
a pull with the administration.
Most of the Information made public In
the letter from the asylum had been pub
lished from time to time, having been
learned from other sources.
Ludden Compares Charges.
Luther P. Ludden, secretary of the State
Normal board, has made a report to the
board of his charges against J. W. Crab
' tree and the answer Mr. Crabtree filed.
Mr. Ludden went Into both statements and
Showed the discrepancies.
The following statement wo. issued to- First Place is Won by Paul Kamanski
day by State Superintendent Bishop:
In tho Nebraska State institute, to be
held In Lincoln next week, provision has
I been ruade for a drill of thirty minutes
l each day In parliamentary law. This
class 'Will meet In Kepreaentatlve hall on

Or gives its sound at the burial mound
In tones that speak of the soldier's tears.
Her generous part does woman's heart
In tender and quiet ways make known,
As with flowers meet and tears more sweet
Her care for the soldier's grave is shown.
With trust in thee, 0 land of the free,,
The heart beats warm and the arms are
strong;
For each one knows that liberty's foes
Must meet with the fate of vanquished

find out what he called 'crooked' games.
He said he often took money from cltlsens
and gamblers at the point of his gun, and
that he had paid part of the money to cer
tain persona who knew of his acts."
The acting chief declared that the testi

which formed northwest of hera at 6
o'clock tonight, struck the western edge
of town a few minutes later, destroying
ten dwellings and several barns, and swept

ward Greer, William Tate, John Shylock
and James Abnathery. In each Instance
the tornado swpt the houses from above
the cellar where men, women and children
were huddled together. That many per
sons were not killed is due to the fact that
the twlscer was s-en to form by those en
dangered and thus they had an opportunity
to seek refuge.
The tornado swept treej, telephone poles,
houses, fei.ces and vegetation from a path
300 feet wide Leaving the town, it lifted,
and descended again several miles south.

tically "blindfolded" you've got to
take our word and tha word of our
customers for our tailoring ability.
Look at It straight In the fare;
Wouldn't it be perfectly useless for
us to urge you to use our tailoring
service it the service itself failed to
back up every claim we make for It?
We guarantee every garment per
fect in tit and style.
