Because the Particulars of the Stabbing
of Edward Steiner Was Made
Public.
The Lincoln correspondent of the
Omaha Mee says that the stabbing of
Edward Steiner of the Lee Mroom and
Duster company by a convict at the
state penitentiary Monday afternoon
may lead to a general overhauling of
affairs at that institution. It was re
ported today that Wrarden Maemer is
very much put out and angry that the
stabbing affray got into the newspa
pers and is now conducting an investi
gation to discover the identity of the
man who dared to give out informa
tion concerning so serious a matter as
an attempt to murder.
After the murder at the Lincoln
hospital for the insane, which occurred
the day before the last election, and
the resulting scandal because the
state ollicials suppressed the facts, it
was given out that whenever anything
happened at a state institution the
facts should not be suppressed. War
den Meemer, it seems, however, was
not a party to that announcement,
and is so angry, so it is reported, that
the newspapers got hold of the fact, as
to cause him to threaten to discharge
the person who t ipped the story oil" to
the papers.
It is very probable that Gov. Mickey
will now look into the institution
more closely than he has heretofore
done and that he will also turn the
searchlight more thoroughly onto ap
plications for paroles before granting
them. It has been rumored in Lin
coln that a number of prisoners had
been paroled to members of the last
legislature, who secured them through
political inlluence. The others are
scattered over the state, Colonel Sam
uel Mellck of the governor's stair hav
iug four, who are now at work in his
livery stable at a salary of $10 a
month each. In all there are thirty
two prisoners out on parole, and the
terms of three of them will expire in a
few weeks. A number of the paroled
men have caused considerable trouble
to officers and others, and this, to
ether with the stabbing affray of last
Monday, will likely cause a change of
system in conducting affairs at the
state's prison.
Warden Meemer, from what he says,
thinks that the people should be kept
in ignorance of what is going on
around the penitentiary. Mut the
newspapers think otherwise, and the
reporter who caught on to the stab
bing of Steiner deserves great credit
for his energy. If the people could
learn more about what is going on in
the state institutions it would un
doubtedly result in less careless and
better management of them.

Attorney-General Erown Informs Attorneys
That Supplementary Biennial Bills
Are Sound.
Attorney General Norris Mrown be
lieves that the four special election
bills which accompanied the unconsti
tutional omnibus biennial election bill
are valid and Saturday gave it as his
opinion that an election for county
commissioner held this year under the
provisions of the old law would lead to
litigation since the present incumbent
of the office is entitled to an extended
tenure under the provisions of one of
the special acts. The question has
been brought before him several times.
Friday several county attorneys called
on him to discuss the matter, and he
reiterated his opinion that the acts
are valid.
The attorney general has given
thorough consideration to the decision
of the supreme court in the biennial
election law case and had reached the
conclusion that the opinion of the
court must be construed to mean that
the legislature had the power to
change the dates for the election of
officers not mentioned in the state con
stitution. A similar view of the mat
ter was taken by the judges who sat
in the case, in speaking of the matter
after the decision was rendered.
Speaking of the situation in Lan
caster county, where the county con
vention went on the theory that the
special acts might have been invali
dated, Mrown says that it was a mis
take to make nominations and to pre
pare to hold elections to fill the places.
lie said that in the event or the nom
ination of a man other than the pres
ent incumbent there might be room
for trouble after the election.
They Ought to Attend.
County Superintendent Wortman
has just issued a circular letter to all
members of school boards in the
county, prevailing upon them to at
tend the county institute on "School
Board Day," at Weeping Water nest
Monday. The school laws (sec. 3. sub
div. 5), authorizes these meetings, and
declares it to be the duty for at least
one member toattend, and the Journal
believes that at least one member of
each school board in the county should
attend. We believe the attendance
at the institute at Weeping Water
next week will be one of the largest in
the history of the country. and with an
attendance of members of school
boards from the various districts of
the county on the first day, the teach
ers will feel very much encouraged in
their work. Let all who can, be present.
