On or about the 1st day of May, 1891,
the board appointed W. H. Dorganita

where Atwood s quarries were located,
and from Nemaha county, this state, a

Wast has been said f the stone holds
true of the sand also. Atwood had the
eoatract for it at tbe rate of $1 per yard
at the pit while it was worth sot to ex
ceed 40 cents a yard.
It is in evidoooe that prior to Dorgan's

purchased the same, as above given, and
for the sand and Cedar Creek stom at
figures ranging from wao-third to 'one
half of the amounts aharged by Atwood
at Co. Dorgan denies that he ever con
salted any one except1. kL Atwood prior
to his agreement with that firm. lie
states that ho was "not a practical stone

but relied an Atwood At Co. to make
him fair and Masonable prioes. ,
'On the Side.
Freat February 1, 1892, Dorgan was
the prison contractor, lloaher having as
signed the contract to him on that date,
but Dorgaa has never entered into any
bond as sueh contractor. From that
time to llarah 16, 1S82, ho, as a represen
tative of the board of public lands and
buildings, contracted with himself as
prison contractor for all convict labor
employed daring that period,' and as
prison contractor kept the tun of Ihe
convicts. Ob March 15, 1902, Daa Bop

. And Walls
Within a few months after Henkina
heeams saperintendent a portion , of the
south wall that surrommds the prison
yard fell in and it became necessary to
repair it Although Mr. Hopkins has
not filed any reports with the board of
public lands and buildings he submitted
to your committee an itemized state
meat of his expenditures up te . January
1, 1893, on the south wall as wall as on
the cell house. There is one item of
$1,024.28 for stone, being twenty-one car
loads, all of which, with the exception
oi one pie i coping, was used ,ln the
cell house, that in charged to the south
wall. This, Mr. Hopkins states, was
done on the authority of the board to
balance a like amount of labor (esti
luautu; uiac was actuauy periormea m
building a stockade around the . open
space where the wall had fallen
in and which had been charged
to tne ceil nouse. Tne attention
of the house is called to this
to indicate the loose manner in which
this whole matter has seem conducted.
According to the books im the secretarr
of state's office, there is yet on hand
of the cell house fund $1,709, but some
thing like $1,100 of debts for work and
material are yet outstanding, and tfcen
when. the above item of $1.68428 is
charged where it belongs it will be seen
tnat we.fund is more than exhausted.
As above indicated. Mr. Hopkins has
net filed a single vemehor with the board
te enlighten that body or any other.
How ha has disbursed the money in
trusted to him Mr. Dorgam has filed a
numoer oi vememers, out me fails to re
turn any fer $5,111.77, whioh he
claims to have spent.
it m the opinion af (be committee that
this work ought mot to have oost over
$23,009.
Wht Smoald Pay.
A receipt attached to one ef Dorsran's
statements snows ,tw are Urictc, cost
ing aUB, and six barrels of fire clay,
costing $24. This material was used in
setting some boilers that belonged to the
state, lnese boilers, witm others, are
used to generate steam to hoat the peni
tentiary buildiags(including the new cell
nouso when complete) and to furnish
power to run the uaehinerr.
x our committee is of tae opinion that
under uie contract with Mosher, the
prison contractor should bear all such
expenses himself. In this case the state
not only fnrnished the boilers and ma
terial but the labor also and all is
charged te the cell house fund.
The Committee Lectures.
Yomr committee, after hearinar the
testimony of ex-Treasurer llilL Com
missionsr Humphrey. Secretarr Allen
and Attorney General Eastincs. is com
polled to believe and report to this house
that the interests of the stats were not
guarded by even ordinary earc. Instead
of throwing every safeguard which
honesty and basinets methods would
suggest around the appropriation and
its expenditure, the way was left open
for extravagance and corruption, which
expanded and grew more rapidly than
did the walls of the cell house. To be
gin with, Mr. W. H. Dorgam, who was
chosem superintendent of construction,
did mot sustain that high char
acter for honesty which is a perequisite
in such a potihoa; bat bad that not
been trme, he was disqualified because
of the fact that he was agent or foreman
for C. W. Mother, whose interests con
stantly came im conflict with those of
the state. Under snoh oirommstanoec,
wo are mammle to eonajnakemd kcr what
proccee ot reesoniat vie ooara coma ex
pect an honest disbursement of thf
money. The prices paid for material
indicate his total u an mass for the trust
reposed in him, or his utter lack of busi
ness integritv or honesty, aad la a
somewhat milder form, the same is true
of the present superimcandemt
Action ot the Amtctoritloo.
Members of the hoard had a very
imperfect knowledge of the matter,
some of them intimating, when ques
tioned by the oomasittoo, that they were
too busy with other duties to give at
tention to this. It appears from the ev
idenoe that the benrm, as such, aad the
individual members as well, mtterly
failed to exercise any supervising care
over the building, or restraint over the
superintendent cmUhhshing a condition
of affairs that made waste and collusion
inevitable; and while the members of
the board spent $400 or $600, drawn om
Dorgan's chock against the all house
fund, in a trip to other states, made os
tensibly for the purpose of enabling
them to improve oa oar prison manage
ment, the convicts have mot had the ad
vantage of the most ordinary rules in
regard to sanitary arrangements, as
evidenced by the filthy condition in
which your eommitteee foand the
eel la It is the e pinion of the com
mittee that justice would compel ex
Governor Boyd aad ox-Wardea hi alio a.
ex-Governor Thmymr and ox-Warden
Hopkins to share the blame with the
board for this condition of affairs at the
prison. Wo are thoroughly convinced
by the rircumttanoes whioh have boon
brought to our atesatton daring this in
vestigation that the paehe service k bo
rag demoralized aad the public imtmrcsts
jeopardized by official me gleet and care

authorities take immediate actios to re

For a long time I had boon wrest
ling anentally with the problem of
how ito protect stacks. Bad sent for
dooumtamts to twe parties advertising
stack . covers. Their covers were all
ncavy and quite costly. There is
not tho ! leaBt doubt but nhoy would
have protected the stacks, but whether
being foeavy they would have lasted
at all ia proportion te tho price, is
with me still doubtful. Whether
water proofing them with some prep
aration or other weald tend to pre
serve them is yet an experiment
Last summer I concluded to try
covering one stack of clover kay with
muslin costing five ocnts per yard,
small rick containing four and a half
tons. I built my stack carefully and
made it quite sharp on top, tho cover
was put n tho hour the stack was
finished. That might it rained three
fourths of mm Inch; the cover did so
well that a little later I placed the
same kind of eerers on two other
stacks of the same size.
Mr. A. A. Berry, farmer and stock
raiser, agricultural editor of tb
"CUrinda Herald, " and observer for
tho signal service, has furnished mo
with am itemise statement of tho
rain fall hero, which shows that since
my hay was stacked, mad before tho
great snowstorm of December 7, wo
had a little more than twelve inches
of rain. Ia omo night there fell two
and a half inches.
Except in two places where tho
covers worm misplaced by tho wind.
ray hay is im perfect condition, just
as good as if it had been in a, barn.
Two ef my stacks arc standing un
touched. I invito anybody who
wishes to examine thorn. The covers
have paid me up to date at least as
much as their cost, and seem but lit
tle tho worse. This time I fastened
on my covers by tying to them as
weights stones aad feneo posts. For
the next hay crop I shall sew on each
cover torn pockets of good material,
each large emeugk to held say fifteen
pounds mf stomo, gathering the cover
where each pocket is sewed on. ex-
sept at tke corners, so it will fit the
stack olooely, then the wind cannot
get hold under tho covers and they
will stay right there in any gale: the
wind can get no hold on tho hay, and
the stack will stand in shape till tho
gale shall be strong enough to push
t over bodily.

The best sign wo know of that m
farmer is waking up to the need of
better farming is to see him prepare
to sow more clover teed. It costs
little and pays more for the money
than any other farm implement he can
make. Therefore it' should be alwavs
the first step. It will half furnish
the money and the fertility of soil
nsoestary to take longer and more
expensive future steps. We hold
that clover should be sown with every
grain crop, even though the stubble
is to be plowed under the next falL

but the growth that clover will make
between Marsta and September is
worth far more fer manure then tho
cost of seeding. It is as much richer
manure than most weeds which it
will displase, and has tho further
advantage of getting mott of its
fertilizing properties, except tho
