tere Oi her Matters Ilrre aud There
Throughout Iowa.
LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 2. The act of
the last legislature, creating a State
Board of Charities aid Corrections, is
beginning to bring fcrth results. The
board was organized July 1 and since
then an ofSca has been kept open at
the state house under the direction of
Chief Clerk John Dav., who arranges
the work of the four advisory secre
taries and attends to all details in
connection with his department. Va
rious state institutions have been in
spected and recommendations made
looking to the betterment of condi
, tions.
The act provides that the governor,
comm.ssioner of public lands and
buildings and superintendent of public
Instruction shall constitute the board
and be authorized to appoint lour ad
visory secretaries, none of whom shall
receive any compensation for their ser
vices. The governor acts as chair
man of the board, and the secretaries,
as their title indicates, is an advisory
capacity, though they all take an ac
tive interest in the work. It is made
the duty of the board to inquire into
the whole system of public- charities
and the methods of and practices in
the correctional institutions and to as
certain the conditions at various times
by personal inspection. Plans for new
jail buildings or other places of con
finement must be submitted to the
board for approval. It is provided
that all investigations undertaken
shall be directed wholly toward the
betterment of methods pertaining to
the health, punishment, education and
reformation of the inmates of the va
rious institutions.
-With the new Board of Charities
and Corrections, and with the wide in
formation and enlightened convictions
of the present time," said W. A. Clark
of Peru, one of the secretaries, "we
look forward with hope to the reali
zation of better conditions in all our
state institutions. It is estimated that
1,200 epileptics are living in Nebraska
outside of the state institution. About
60 per cent of the inmates of the In
stitute for Feeble Minded are epilep
tics, while not more than 40 per cent
in the Hospitals for the Insane are
epileptics. Some cf us believe in the
colony plan for these people and hope
to make a movement toward providing
fomething in that direction in the
near future. We must confess that
Nebraska has been behind most of the
other states in the care of these class
es. Very little has been attempted in
the way of medical treatment and
very little also has been attempted in
the way of classification of the in
mates. These unfortunate ones have
received almost nothing besides the
food and shelter provided by the
Afd t'unp'e to Wed.

DECISION Of LITTLE EffECT
takorane
Men Had Anticipated the
Federal Court.
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. CO. The de
cision of Judge McPherson of the
United States court in the case of
tho Mutual Insurance company and
others against the attorney general of
the State of Nebraska and others, ia
volviug the right of the insurance
companies operating in the state to
combine for mutual protection, will
have little effect upon the practical
work of the insurance companies, for
tbo law winch was declared uncon
stitutional was never enforced and its
terms were evaded by the companies
interested.
When the law was first enacted the
companies united to make a test case
of the matter in the United States
court. A temporary injunction was
issued by Judge Munger restraining
:he state officers from enforcing the
provisions of the law and this injunc
tion has operated from that time un
til the final decision rendered yes
terday. The companies had made provisions
to avoid penalty in caso they should
lose the suit and at the same time
maintain practically the same sys
tem which the legislature cf the state
had sought to destroy. A. G. Beeson
at the time the law was passed was
state inspector of insurance for the
companies doing business in the state.
By the terni3 of the agreement be
tween the companies he made the
rates which were to be charged on
each class of risks, or upon each risk
as desired. For this work he receiv
ed a stipulated salary, which was paid
by all of the companies to the agree
ment. fCR VIOLATING MW CAME IAW

DAKOTA CITY, Neb.. Sept. 30.
Sheriff Sides' office here took on the
appearance of a camp of the state
militia, when Deputy Game Commis
sioner C. P. Counsman of Omaha

Edgar and Al Richardson and George
Hare of Sioux City, charging them
with violations of the Nebraska game
law. They are accused of being non
residents hunting and killing wild
game without the prescribed license.
The defendants were brought before
County Judge Enners. They pleaded
guilty, but said they were ignorant
of the law and that it was their first
trip to Crystal lake in quest of game.
Since this was the first arrest in this
locality under the new law. Judge
Enners was lenient with the offenders
and fined them each $5 and costs.
Crystal lake, with its two pleasure
resort3. is a good place for Iowans to
hunt and fish, as it is only two miles
from Sioux City. The movement to
enforce the law is strongly backed
by local sportsmen and residents. Be
fore his departure Deputy Sheriff
Counsman will appoint a resident dep
uty to enforce the law. The attorneys
of this place will refuse to defend
any violator of the law, but will as

FREMONT, Neb., Sept. 30. For the

the rounds of the local state press
concerning an alleged anarchist soci

and if it exists it meat so secretly
as to be unknown to the police. It
is claimed that one or two copies of

there is no anarchist organisation

A HE PROOF HOSPITAL
That Much, at Least, Decided by State
Board of Public Land?.
THE RUNS LOOK LESS PROMISING
Governor garage Doabts If There la Blore

l'p and Kobbetl Other Ktiri iu Ne
braska. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 1. The State
Board, of Public Lands and Buildings
met In executive session with Gov
ernor Savage and considered various
plans for reconstructing the Norfolk
Hospital for Insane. It was agreed
that the building should be made
strictly fireproof, but further than this
no action was taken. Architect Grant
of Beatrice has been authoriz?d to ex
amine the ruins and no definite plans
will be made by the board until his
report is received.
Governor Savage and Attorney Gen
eral Prout, who returned from Nor
folk, consider the building almost a
total loss. The walls of the west
wing are still standing and can prob
ably be reraired without great ex
pense, but otherwise there will be no
salvage, in their opinion.
"With the exception of the west
wing." said the governor, "the build
ing is virtually destroyed. The walla
of the west wing can be used in re
building by enlarging the holes where
the joists rest, but the rest of the ma
sonry will have to be cleared away.
In order to use the brick now in the
walls, each one must be taken from
its place, cleaned of mortar and used
in the new wall. This is a tedious
process and the expense cannot help
being very large.
"According to an estimate made by
a Norroik arcnitect, tne west wing
can be put into its original condition
for $5,000. He bases his figures on
the original cost of the building.
When first built $17,000 was expended
on the wing. It is claimed that the
stone and brick cost $12,500. leaving
$3,000 for the interior of the building.
But this is hardly a fair estimate in
my opinion, because it will take a
whole lot of time and trouble to re
place the joists.
"There Is no way of estimating the
loss with any degree of accuracy, but
I have decided that about one-fifth
of the entire structure can be saved
by expending some money. The rest
is gone glimmering. Here and there
portions ofthe walls can be rehabili
tated, but other items cf expense will
be encountered to more than offset the
gain. I believe four-fifths of the
value of the institution has gone up
in smoke.
"As I remarked the other day, I am
opposed to the erection of anything
except fireproof buildings for state
purposes. Of course I am not a mem
ber of the Board of Public Iands and
Buildings and am speaking now as a
private citizen. It seems useless to
erect anything else in view of the
fact that the legislatures for many
years have made no provisions for in
suring state buildings."
The Street tar Conversation.
Fragmentary reports cf a recent
conversation to which a few neighbors
and myself were parties do me great
injustice, seeming to rank me among
sympathizers with anarchy. Nothing
could be more absurd. No man alive
abominates anarchy in every form
more heartily than I; perhaps few
have done more with arms and with
pen to repress anarchy. I myself have
nothing to keep back but as parts of
the conversation referred to might
be thought to compromise the other
parties I will not detail it without
permission. Suffice it to say that all
urged opposition to anarchy, I as ear
nestly as the rest, only our methods
differed.

Remairlng- Property Figured tm Be
Worth 170,000.
NORFOLK, Neb.. Sept. 28. Superin
tendent Teal had the old cornice at the
top of the wall around the ruins of
the hospital taken down. A force of
workmen ha3 put in steam, electric
light and water fittings in all the re
maining buildings. Things are in bet
rer snape to nanaie a tire now, as
there is better pressure. All inmates
remaining are comfortably housed and
each patient has a separate bed.
. Members cf the state board who
were in Norfolk found things in much
better shape than they had antici
pated. The institution will be able to
take care of 150 patients. The damage
is not as heavy as at first estimated.
The value of the property saved is:
Furniture, bedding and carpets, which
have all been put under shelter, 5,000;
buildings untouched by fire, the chapel.
a two-story brick building, having the
kitchen and a large dining room on
the first flcor; the laundry, a two
story brick building; the engine and
boiler houses of brick; the storehouse,
a two-story brick building; two large
frame structures; several boilers, en
gines, pumps and dynamos; the tunnel
leading from the boiler room anl
kitchen to different parts of the main
building, which contain water and
steam pipes and wiring, and the walls
of the main building, which are
worth half the original cost price,
making a total of $70,000. The land
is estimated to be worth $100,000. It
has been estimated by an architect
that $75,000 will put the burned build

State Officials Sore Hospital Repairs Will
Cost Less Than X30.000.
LINCOLN, Sept. 28. It may be
stated as a certainty that the hos
pital for the insane at Norfolk will be
rebuilt on its present site. Land Com
missioner Follmer and Secretary of
State Marsh returned from Norfolk
and it is learned that both are op
posed to removing the institution.
They are confident that the destroyed
portion of the building can be replacwi
for slightly ever $50,000.
"We have not arrived at any definite
agreement," said Secretary Marsh,
"and will not until all members of
the board can get together for a meet
ing, but it is very likely that plans
will be made for rebuilding as soon
as possible. We have investigated the
ruins thoroughly and Governor Sav
age and Attorney General Prout will
go to Norfolk and look over the
ground. After they return the board
of public lands and buildings will hold
a meeting and make the necessary
arrangements. It is safe to say that
the institution will be rebuilt at Nor
folk if we can find some contractor
willing to do the work and look to tho
next legislature for his compensation."

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations From South
Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle The receipts of cattle were the
heaviest of any l:ty sn far this year.
Most everything on sate was from the
range country, ami the offerings as a
wholo were nothing to brag of so far as
quality Is concerned. There were onlj
about fifteen ears of corn-fed Fleer O'l
"ale, and the tendency was to neglect
them for the westerners. Some of the
choicest bunches sold at Just alxnit
fcteady prices. A bis proportion of the
offerings was cow stuff. On the start a
few bunches sold at just about steady
prices, but aside from those the market
was right around a dime lower, and in
some cases more. Hulls, calves and stags
were steady to a shade iowtr, deixndmg
upon the quality. Stockers an.l feeders
were also very plentiful, and the demand
was very light, except for the choice
heavy weights, and also for the prime
stock rs. Cattle answering to that de
scription sold readily at steady prices.
Hogs There was no more than a nor
mal supply of hogs, but as other markets
were all quoted lower, with Chicago ion
15c lower, prices at this point also took
quite a drop. The general market could
safely be quoted lOfrl.V lower. On the
start packers began talking SS.75. with a
few of the choicer loads above that.
After the first round they wanted to get
the hogs at ;.72',2 and SH. 75. with the less
desirable bunches at $rt.70. The market
was not particularly active at tho.-e
prices, but still the bulk was disposed ot
in fairly ood season.
Sheep-The demand for feeders contin
ued In goed shi'pe and steady to strong
prices were paid. In a number of cases
feeders outbid the packers. Quotations:

RESTRICTION Of EMIGRANTS.
Italian Covernment Promulgates Some
Mew and Stringent Utiles
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3 A report to
the marine hospital service announces
that on September 3 a new Italian em
igration law took effect. It makes
Naples, Genoa and Palermo the only
Italian ports from which emigration
will be permitted. Venice being taken
off the list. Provision is made for
supervision of emigration. The com
panies carrying emigrants are to be
represented by agents, known as '"Vet
tore," who are responsible to the Ital
ian government for the enforcement
of the regulations.
Under the law emigrants refused for
any malady must be returned without
expense to the Italian government or
the emigrant to the place where they
live. or. if foreign to Italy, to the
frontier by which they entered Italy
for embarkment. The "Vettore" are
responsible to the emigrants for civil
damages in case of rejection at the
final destination on aecount of foreign
immigration laws, when it can be
proved that the "Vettore," or those, for
whom they act, were aware, before
