Aftor months of vexatious and una
voidable delay tho state board of pub

The legislative appropriation for tho
roplaciug of tho destroyed main build

foarod this sum was inadequate. How
over, by dint of careful figuring und
ni'iiiy revisions of the plans tho board
succcedod in framing a set of specifi
cations which woro satisfactory to tho
board and tho asylum authorities.

scheme to bind tho G. A. R. and tho
national guard closoly together by
erecting combined armories aud mom
orial halls for the joint occupancy of
tho two organizations is to bo adopted
in Omaha and is being considered in
other localities. Tho plan is to erect
buildings by private subscription to

tainments could bo hold in tho hulls

about the stato houso last weok by tho
published statement that tho greater

investigation reveals tho fact that this
I is another "tempest in n teapot."
