News from Over the State I
AVorUliiR n u Knrm Ilmul.
T" fact has just gained publicity
that uov. Mickey nearly h month ago
paroled A. It. Norlin, ex-treasurer of
Kearney county, who was sent to
the penitentiary for six years for
embezzlement of county funds. Nor
lin went to the penitentiary July 12.
1902. His sentence, with good time
deducted, will expire December 10,
1905. He is paroled to John Bjork
lund to work on the latter's farm
near Minden for $20 n month. Nor
lin's case was peculiar. It was an
nounced one morning that the ofllcc
of the county treasurer had been
robbed and the county treasurer as
saulted therein. The story looked
plausible until Detective Malone, of
Lincoln, went out and investigated,
when it was found that certain in
dications pointed to the probability
that Norlin had robbed the vault and
lion riK.miiilteil himself. After hav
ing been in the sweatbox for a time
Norlin broke down, admitted that
such was the case and conducted the
oilicers to where u lot of the stolen
money was secreted in a cornfield.
After he had made a clean breast of
the matter he insisted that he want
ed to begin serving out the penalty
ns quickly as possible. He pleaded
guilty and was taken to the peni
tentiary without unnecessary delay.
He has been a model prisoner and
has for some time been a trusty at
the prison. Meantime his father has
paid back all of the money taken
which was not found in the cornfield
and the resentment of the people of
Kearney county has been allayed.
There was a large petition from the
people of that county -asking that he
be paroled.
Hoy Smith n IUkiiiiiInI.
An effort to corner the matrimo
nial market, with such success that
the two wives confronted him within
tlie space of a few minutes, has land
ed liny C. Smith in the Lincoln jail
to answer the charge of bigamy.
Smith is the son of a Methodist
preacher at Ames, la. In ISO'J he was
married at Greenfield, la., to Miss
Delia Kodgers, who had inherited a
fortune from her father. Smith
seemed to be ambitious to do noth
ing but dissipate his wife's money,
and after a year he had run through
with it. Then he deserted her and
her infant son. In January last he
appeared in Lincoln under an as
sumed name and secured employment
at a department store. On May 24 he
'married Miss 'Hoynton, of Lincoln,
daughter of a railroad engineer. One
clay last week wife No. 1 appeared
in Lincoln with her baby and in a
few hours had set the oflicial machin
ery in motion that landed Smith in
jail. Wife No. 2 was, of course, pros
trated at news of her supposed hus
band's perfidy, but after a talk with
wife No. 1 she did not doubt tlie gen
uineness of her story.
Coll MnkerH May Have Trouble.
It is hinted in statehouse circles
that when the VanDoran company, of
Cleveland, O., attempts to draw or
market the warrants it expects to receive-in
exchange for the steel cells
furnished the state penitentiary it
will find it has run into a big law
suit. The last legislature appropria
ted $S0,000 for 240 cells and sewage.
When the board let the contract
some three weeks ago the VanDoran
people got- the contract for building
14R cells for $09,000. .Just what au
thority the auditor will have to draw
a warrant for $09,000 in payment for
140 cells, when the legislature appro
priated $S(),00 to buy 240 cells, is what
will cause trouble. Under the law
as heretofore construed they might
pay leXs, but never more. The board
"had contracted to pay $114 a cell more
than the legislature authorized them
to. Tt is claimed by attorneys that
where the legislature makes an ap
propriation for the purchase of a spe
cific number of articles at a specified
cost there could be no valid agree
ment to buy them at an enhanced
cost.

Information for Tendicr.
State Superintendent Fowler has
his olllce force busily engaged in
packing and sending out by express
large bundles of books for the infor
mation of teachers and school au
thorities all over the state. He Is
sending to each of the more than
9,000 teachers in the state a copy
each of a booklet setting out the Ne
braska course of study and teachers'
manual for district and village
schools, another setting out school
laws that are of especial interest to
the teacher, and an ornate publica
tion that outlines programmes for the
observance of special days in the pub
lic schools. For the information of
school authorities generally, he is al
so sending to the oilicers of each of
the 0,000 school districts in the state
a copy of a publication dealing with
the school laws and school land lawB
uf tln state. Quite a number of

Statu 1'rlHon Improvement.
The new chapel at the state peni
tentiary will be dedicated July 5.
The date originally set was June 14,
but the contractors disappointed the
u-nvernor and chanlain. The adminis
tration building is very nearly
finished now. It will be handsomely
furnished and the accommodations
for the executive officers are ample.
The office and reception rooms arc
on the second floor, the warden's
appartments on the second and the
greater part of the third floor will
be devoted to the women's ward.
The windows of this ward will over
look the interior of the prison yards,
but otherwise there will be nothing
dispiriting about the place. The.
rooms are large and cheery, finished
in oak and equipped with conveni
ences, making them utterly unlike the
typical prison quarters.
Amendment Held Invalid.
Should the decision of Judge
Holmes, of the Lancaster county dis
trict court, be affirmed by the su
premo court, whence it will be imme
diately appealed, legislative sessions
in Nebraska will hereafter be limited
to -10 days and the pay of members
$3 a day'instoad of $5. This decision
was rendered in a suit brought by
Former Supreme Court Commissioner
Kyan against the auditor to prevent
tlie payment of claims to members.
Tho suit was bccim during the last
session, but the legislators were per
mitted to draw their money before
the order of injunction was served.
Fusion Probable.
For the first time since fusion was
first sprung in Nebraska the state
convent ions of the democrats and
populists will be held in different
cities this year. The democratic com
mittee decided on Columbus as the

Ornnrt Island. The. disposition, how
ever, is to fuse this year. The same
date, August 25, was decided upon by
both committees. This was a populist
demand, and the democrats acceded
to it.

came to me with the information
that a demand was being made on
him for moiiev I nromntlv advised
him not to pay a dollar. When, how

he was In trouble and asked" my as
sistance I did what I would have
done for any honest friend who
sought my aid unhesitatingly gave
it."
