LET IN TIE LIGHT
STATE HOME THAT IS SHROUDED
WITH SECRECY.
A POLICY NOT APPROVED
Womer. and Children Being Supported
by State Because of Men’s Dis
creditable Acts.
There is one state institution in
Nebraska that is not boasted of. It is
the industrial school for women at |
Milford Secrecy shrouds the insti
tution. yet the taxpayers contribute ;
annually to its support, says the Lin- j
coru Journal.
Some of the members of the state !
board of public lands and buildings
have commenced to wonder whether
or not it is t ight to continue this sys- i
tern of secrecy. The state is now sup- j
porting women and children who. un- ;
der another law on the statute books, j
should be supported by those directly j
responsible. Nebraska boasts of hav- j
ing a less percentage of illiteracy ;
than any other state in the union, j
but tc .* recbrds of the state board of j
health show that in six months nine
ty-two out of 13,403 births were il- r
legitimate.
"I am tempted not to approve these
rpplieations,'' said Secretary of State 1
Wait, of the board of public lands
and buildings, when he was present
ed wi h requests from t^ine girls, "un
less the .slate can take some steps to
brine the responsible men to justice.”
Attorney General Martin, also a
member of the state board, is also of
the c pinion that more attention
should be paid to the punishment of .
responsible men in such cases. To
make the state institution a cloak for j
ctime is, in the opinion of some, an
The policy of the state has for ‘
manv years been to lend every effort ]
to prelect the good name cf uafor
tuiuue girls. Girls who enter the
home are assured that their names
will not be made public. The mem- !
hers oi the hoard of public lands and
buildings approve applications only
after they have received the approval
of a board of women appointed for :
that purpose. The public does net |
know who comprise the board of wo
men who pass on applications, and a*
ter an inmate enters the home the
record at the home either does not i
show h. r real name or. if it does, the
eeord is not accessible to any ini j
quirer. Secrecy is the policy of the ;
state, and the object to be attained
is the protection of the inmates.
Miss Ward, the superintendent, will j
do .til she can to institute prosecution |
of guilty parties, but she does not
urge such a course as a general rule,
that being contrary to the policy of
the state in coaducting the home.
The girls who enter are usually
young, barely eighteen, but occasion- .
ally the applications show that wo- !
men up to the age of thirty two are j
admitted. The women must stay one j
year, and during that time they are I
taught to cook and keep house and to !
sew and other /useful employments. '
Those who are ignorant of such work
benefit by the training and often go j
out into the world and become good
members of society. Some former in- j
mates are now filling respectable po
sitions and their present associates
know nothing of their history.
The children are kept by the state,
if the mothers are unable to care for
them, and are placed in homes for
adoption and are given a chance to
grow up and be useful citizens. For
adoption girls are generally preferred.
The Carlton Realty company of ■
Omaha has filed erticles of incorpo
ration with the se*retary of state.
Book for Horsemen.
The state board of stallion registra
tion has just received from the prin
ter a very interesting publication of
the work of the board to those inter
ested in that kind of work. It covers
three hundred and eighty-eight pages
and gives the name of every horse ex
amined and accepted, the name of
the owner, registered number, date
foaled, color ai-.d license number. The
list is divided up according to the ■
various breeds and is a valuable doc
ument for horse breeders and others
interested in breeding.
Heavy Nebraska Land Holder.
Samuel W. Allerton, who at a Chi
cago banquet of meat packers pledged
$1,000 toward a fund to be used in
sending experts into Indiana. Illinois.
Iowa, Ohio and Nebraska to teach
farmers how to cultivate their soil to
better advantage and how to raise
cattle and live stock more profitably,
has been a heavy land holder in this
state. a few years ago he owned
many farms in the vicinity of Cedr.r
Rr-pids in this Btate.
A Search fcr Fire Trcps.
The city of Lincoln will be descend
ed upon and searched front cellar to
garret for fire traps or anything that
looks suspicious of being a possible
cause of fire, if plans formulated by
the Nebraska state fire prevention as
sociation at their quarterly meeting
in Omaha are carried out. The asso
ciation decided to go as a committee
of the whole, divided into about
twenty sub-committees of two men
each, assign certain territory to each
subcommittee, and give the capital
city a thorough tire inspection.
Aakt Better Equipment.
The Fremont signal corps of the
Nebraska national guard would like
a little better equipment than it has
at the present time and therefore
t'aptaln Henry called at the office of
Adjutant General Phelps to see what
the prospects were for a request of
that kind to be granted. The corps
would like an equipment of the “A"
class, which includes two sets of
wireless telegraph instruments, which
though of low power, will transmit
messages eighteen miles. A requisi
tion will go to the war department
«
BETTER STATE FAIR.
Board of Managers Meet to Discuss
Plans.
The state board of managers of the
state fair took up various matters,
among them a proposition to build a
new swine judging building and new’
swine pens. Several members ot the
swine breeders' association were pres
ent and urged the board to take some
action in the matter, but announced
that they would not insist too hard,
as they desired some action taken
toward an appropriation for the manu
facture of hog cholera serum. The
last legislature made an appropriation
of $15,000 for its manufacture, but the
association claims that more money
is needed.
Another matter which came before
the board was that of asking the leg
islature for an appropriation for a
horticultural and agricultural hall
combined. They said that both of the
old buildings would need extensive re
pairs before auother fair and it would
be good economy to put that money
into a fund for new buildings. It was
thought by the board that floors
should be laid in the buildings recent
ly built and Secretary Mellor and Mr.
Rudge were appointed a committee to
ascertain the cost of flooring the ma
chinery hall, grandstand, coliseum and
put new roofs on the auditorium and
th? automobile hall.
School Officer Files Contest.
•lames McWhorter is determined to
hold onto the office of treasurer of
school district No. 30. Pierce county,
if he can legally do so. He has appeal- |
ed to the supreme court from a
judgment of dismissal in his contest
case in the district court. He was
elected treasurer in June, 1909, and
was a candidate for re-election June
34. 1913. His rival, Charles Schramm,
was declared elected by a majority!of
ten votes and has been recognized as
treasurer by the other officers of the j
district. Mr. McWhorter alleges that
the vote was taken by the voice and
not by ballot. He also contends that
the moderator and director committed
fraud in miscounting the vote.
Separation of Offices.
The separation of the auditor's of
fice and the insurance department of
the state may be undertaken through
a bill to be introduced at the coming
session of the state legislature. The
rna'ter has been talked over at con
siderable length here of late and in
surance men who have friendly can
didates running tor the state legisla
ture say they expect to see to it that
a measure is introduced when the ses
sion gets under way.
The move is said to have the sanc
tion of many of the leading insur
ance men of the state, including both
old-line and fraternal insurance
agents. The change is said to be con
templated not so much for any advan
tage that may accrue, but so that a
more efficient way of handling the
business may result.
Insurance Deputy Pierce of the
state auditor's office believes that the
plan would be a good one, if careful
details as to the creation of the of- |
lice are worked out in the bill pro
viding for the change.
Preparing the Electors.
Secretary of State Wait has pre
pared two drafts of the manner in
which the presidential electors should |
appear upon the ballot, neither of |
which is given authority by law.
When the election law of Nebraska >
was passed the legislators did not j
provide for any kind of a mixup like
the state has before it at the present j
time, and therefore the secretary !
holds there is no law which covers
the proposition as it now exists.
Escaped Convict Captured.
Janies Sparks, a negro convict, who
was sent up from Douglas county
eight years ago and who later was 1
sent to the Hastings hospital for the
insane, was captured in Lincoln after
an absence of eight years from the 1
latter institution. He escaped in 1894.
A Public Service.
Beginning October 21 the Nebras
ka state board of agriculture will in
augurate a weekly publicity service j
devoted to the agricultural resources |
and development of Nebraska. The ;
bureau will be in charge of Frank G.
Odell of Lincoln who w-ill furnish free
to all papers brief reports from
which they are at liberty to select i
what they desire to publish.

Express Litigation.
The interstate commerce commis
sion has obtained the entire record of
the express litigation in Nebraska.
The interstate body begin investigat
ing rules and regulations and rates ;
of express companies about the time j
the state of Nebraska began suit to
compel express companies to comply i
with the Sibley law. an act passed by
'he legislature of Nebraska in the !
year 1907.

Democratic Electors Endorsed.
The populist state .committe has
withdrawn its candidates for presiden- j
tial electors and is endorsing the dem- !
oeratie electors.
Campus Removal Discussed.
Campus removal of the state farm
and the probable cost of such a move
as furnished in estimates called for at ]
the last meetiug. furnished the sub- j
jeet matter of the meeting of the j
hoard of regents of the state univer- ;
sity here. No definite action was tak- ]
en by the board, further estimates be- ]
ing called for. This matter, as well i
as the amount of the appropriation
for the biennium to be asked of the
legislature, will be decided probably
at the next meeting in December.
...
Dismiss for Convention.
Boards of Education throughout the
state are granting three days' holiday
for the State Teachers' association,
which will hold its annual meeting in
Omaha on November 6. 7 and 8. Re
ports from all over the state indicate
that the coming meeting will be the
largest in the history of the associa
tion. Superintendent Cochran of
Kearney states that his entire force
oi forty-three teachers will be pres
ent. Tekamah will send fifteen, and
other cities in proportion. An ad
dress by W. J. Bryan will be given.
GOES TOJjIS HOME
COL. ROOSEVELT WILL JOURNEY
TO OYSTER BAY MONDAY.
SLIGHT SETBACK ON SATURDAY
This. However, Will Not Keep Him
in Hospital as Wound Remains
Satisfactory.
Chicago.—The advisability of per
mitting Colonel Roosevelt to depart
Monday for Oyster Bay was debated
at length Sunday, and not until after
his physicians had held a consulta
tion at night did they decide definite
ly that he might do so. He will leave
for New Work at 8: OS a. m. Although
Colonel Roosevelt’s condition was de
scribed as normal throughout the day,
it was learned that his wound had
bled considerably and that he was
suffering from nervous exhaustion.
The ex-president's physicians in
sisted that both of these developments
were to be expected and that there
was in them no cause for alarm. The
bleeding, it was explained by Dr.
Lambert, necessarily accompanied the
discharge of serum, which is part of
the healing process. Dr. Lambert
also said that any patient who had
been in bed for a week would suffer
from nervous exhaustion and that
Colonel Roosevelt needed only to
have absolute rest.
“I wish you would emphasize th€
fact," said Dr. Lambert, "that Colonei
Roosevelt is getting on well, but that
any patient wno nas oeen in oea as
long as he has will suffer from some
degree of nervous exhaustion. If
Colonel Roosevelt is kept perfectly
quiet it will be safe for him to take
the trip."
“There is no cause for serious mis
givings,” said Dr. Argur D. Bevan, “if
Colonel Roosevelt is kept quiet.”
Dr. Murphy and Dr. Scurry Terrell
gave the same opinion.
In spite of the assurances of the
physicians, it was apparent that some
conce-n was felt as to the effect upon
Colonel Roosevelt of a day and a
night on the train.
Mrs. Roosevelt accepted the judg
ment of Dr. John B. Murphy and his
associates, although for a time after
her husband's setback Saturday night
she was doubtful whether it would be
safe to attempt the journey so soon.
She said, however, that if final ar
rangements for the trip had been
made she would not insist on a*
change of plans.
The physicians’ evening bulletin,
while reporting Colonel Rocseve t's
condition as good, emphasized the
need of absolute quiet.
A bulletin at 7:15 o’clock read:
“Pulse. 72; temperature. 98.2; respi
ration. 18; blood count, normal.
"Colonel Roosevelt's general condi
tion ;,cod. Respiratory movements
comfortable. His general condition
justifies his leaving the hospivl for
Oyster Bay. but it is deemed advis
able in order to lessen the possibility
of complications that he should not
be disturbed in any way. and will net
be allowed to see anyone en route.
Trips by the President.
Beverly. Mass.—President Taft has

BIRTHPLACE OF JOHN BUNYAN
Little English Village Still Boasts of
House in Which “Immortal
Dreamer” Was Bom.
London. England.—The little Til
lage of Elsboro. near Bedford, will al
ways be r. raembered as the birth
place of John Bunyan. and the cot
tage is still show'n where the "immor
tal dreamer” was born. It was while
in Bedford jail for "conscience sake"
that Bunyan ministered to all poster
ity by writing the "Pilgrim's Prog
ress” from this world to the world to
ccme, under the similitude of &
dl^am. As an allegory of the soul's
conflicts and struggles with evil in
its journey through life, it is unsur

Where Bunyan Was Born.
through so many editions or attained
such a popularity in all languages.
Bunyan was of poor parentage, his
father being a tinker. At one time
Bunyan was in the parliamentary
army, and in 1645 was a prisoner at
the siege of Leicester. Having left
the army he married, then after a
time of great spiritual anxiety and
doubt, with quieter intervals, he be
came a member and then a minister
of the Baptist congregation at Bed

WENT TO CHURCH TO STEAL
Prisoner Is Rated by Philadelphia
Judge as Meanest Kind
of Thief.
Philadelphia. Fa.—Joseph Waters
was convicted of stealing from wor
shipers in St. John's Catholic church,
ou Thirteenth street, above Chestnut,,
and Judge Kinsey sentenced him to ;
the Huntingdon reformatory.
"This fellow is the meanest kind of
a thief." said Judge Kinsey in erplv
to the plea of Attorney C. S. Patter
son, Jr„ for leniency, "to go into a ;
church and steal purses while the j
owners are bowed in worship."
Wate.s, who has been in court on a
variety of charges, but never before
convicted, went to the church and, en- ;

MUSTACHES NOW THE RAGE
“Bumper" Crop Appears on Lips of
Undergraduates at Harvard—Rad
cliffe Disapproves.
Cambridge. Mass.—Harvard has a
wonderful growth of mustaches this
year. The crop is far enough above
the average to be qualified as a
"bumper." Most of the mustaches
are dapper little affairs. They look
cute, and more than one proud stu- j
dent has resolved to have lip protec
tion for the present term, at least.
The petty conceits have not made I
what might be termed a smashing hit
with the Radcliffe girls, but this cold
reception has failed to nonplus the |
young men.
They have had unprecedented sue j
cess at Wellesley, according to re
ports that have come from private
advices, and it is a safe bet that as
long as Wellesley stands for them
they'll stay and grow.

cent’s hospital
Mrs. Bulwinkle was standing in
front of the church holding the re
flector in her hand and idly watching
its concentration of the sun’s rays
upon the thin material of her dress
Suddenly there was a wisp of smoke
and in a moment her clothing was all
aflame. A policeman summoned by
her screams threw off his coat and
soothered the fire, but too late to
save her from serious injury.

WOMAN SICK
TWELVE YEARS
Wants Other Women to Know
How She Was Finally
Restored to Health.
Louisiana, Mo.: —“I think a woman

would be sick again. No tongue can tell
what I suffered from cramps, and at
times I could hardly walk. The doctors
said I might die at one of those times,
but I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta

Your valuable medicine is worth more
than mountains of gold to suffering wo
