VIEWS OF TREASURER BRIAN
Unfortunates of the State Should De
Better Provided For Other Mat
ters at the Capital.
State Treasurer Brian believes tho
next legislature should bo liberal In
Its appropriations for tho malnten
nnco of state Institutions,, to tho end
that tho unfortunates of tho state
may honoured for In a humane man
ner. At tho Insnno asylum at Lincoln
nnd nt Hastings, Mr. Urlan Bays there
should bo an additional building con
structed, to enro for tho patients. Tho
now building nt Hastings, which It
was thought would tako enro of the
Increased number of Insane has not
proven adequate, whllo at tho Lincoln
institution (hero Is need, not only for
moro room for tho patients, but for
tho attendants ns woll.
"At tho Lincoln asylum," said Mr.
Brian, "tho attendants nro not housed
ob they should bo. Thoy sleep In
rooms off from the wards, whore tho
patients nre kept and It stands to
reason they can got very little rest.
At Hastings there is a separate cot
tage for tho attendants, -where they
can live. Tho legislature should ap
propriate enough money to build a
cottage for tho attendants. The room
that thoy now take up In the main
building could well bo used for tho
patients.
"There should also bo n separate
building for tho trentment of Inebri
ates. Theso peoplo should not bo
compelled to llvo nlong with tho In
Bane people.
It Is very probablo tho normal
schools may need now buildings, but
there Is no question but what the
capacity of tho asylums should bo In
creased, for tho state certainly
nnould look after Its unfortunates and
look after thom right."
Court Martial for Guards.
Tho military board of tho nntlonal
guard met nnd dccldod to Issuo nn
order cnlllng a court-martial to try
tho mombots of the guard who failed

able discharge from tho guard.
Adjutant General Hartlgan has on
fllo ehurgc8 against twenty young
men wh6 disobeyed tho orders to nt-
tend tho encampment and It Is ex
pected mat commanders of com
panies will report more.
This Is the first tlmo thnt a court-
martial for this purposo has ever
been called In tho state, nnd for sev
eral dayB tho adjutant general bos-
Itatcd njout taking the action be-
causo of tho cost. Ho decided with
tho other members of tho mllltnry
board, Colonel Eberly nnd Colonel
Mack, that tho best Interests of the
guard could bo served by such n pro
ceedlng. Tho court will consist of
soven members detailed from the
gunrd nnd the Judge advocate general
will also bo appointed for this occa
sion. Adjutant General Hartlgan will
not bo a member of tho court, but
will prefer all tho charges. Some of
tho cases, ho said, are very aggravat
ing.
