a law providing for the draintage of
swamp lands, but this bill is designed
to be wider in application. It Is feared
thiit should a test come, swamp lands
would not include the land that is sub
ject to overflow by a river. The new
law gives power to "drain wet land;
and land subject to overflow; and any
land which will be improved by drain

construct, straighten, widen deepen or

NORFOLK, Neb., Jan. 21. Over-a
dozen state legislators of Nebraska
visited the Norfolk insane hospital
during the day for the purpose of
recommending an appropriation with
an understanding 'f tj institution's
nM-tN. lr. U. A. Young, the new fu
iwrlnlendent, gave to each of th; visi
tors a typewritten statement of what
w eonMdeivU mn-ded by the Institu
tion. It talis for an appropriation of
JdT.ft for innv building.
Dr, Youna states that a new hos

the heating plants which were in the
cellars are being concentrated into one
main heating plant.
. There are at present forty patients
from northern Nebraska in the Lin
coln hospital, who came originally from
this hospital, and were transferred to
Lincoln at the time of the fire. There
never has been enough room here for
the return of those forty patients to
their own hospital. Their families
want them here, that they may visit
them more easily.
The institution now has a capacity
for 250 patients. The natural rate of
increase would bring 140 more above
the sixty to leave in the next two
years and this, with the forty brought
back from Lincoln, would make 400
by the time the next legislature meets.
Lincoln has asked for a new building,
but Dr. Young contends that if the
forty from Lincoln are returned, the
claim of Lincoln for a new building
will be invalidated.
Dr. Young and other Insane hospital
authorities are much In favor of a bill
providing that each insane hospital in
the state care for iU own acute cases,
which would ci.ange the Hastings asy
lum from one for the incurable to one
like that at Lincoln or here.
Annexation Arar Off.

who favor annexation urge it on the

The question of legislating city. .officers .

Interurban Bill.
H. R. No. 1, by Lee of Douglas, and
S. F. No. 25, by Thomas of Douglas,
to permit street railway companies to
own stock in and to connect with in
terurban railroad companies, occupied
the attention of the house railroad and
the senate judiciary committee yes
terday. The bill was championed by
G. YV. Wattles of Omaha, who ap
peared before both committees. The
senate committee decided at once that
the measure was worthy of passage
and after amending It to make sure
that only street railway companies in
corporated under the laws of Nebraska
should, have advantage of its pro
visions recommended it for passage.
The house committee had held one
session on the measure before and In
vited the gentlemen interested to ap
pear last night and explain it. Mr.
Wattles said Ihe bill was simply to
simplify relations existing between the
two classes of companies and to per
mit Interurlmn companies to enter
cities without going to the trouble of
securing an individual right of way.
It was purely a business matter and
Mr. Wattles thought a meritorious
measure.
C T. Hoggs of Lincoln was Inclined
to object to the measure as he thought
the provision entitling the holders of
the ;:t:ul; to fr!l and .ldiliomU
provision that Interurban companies
may cxirel,. the rlht of eminent do
main might lve some advantage that
did f"t Hpp ar on the surface if the

The committeemen listened to the
discussion and Went Into executive e

to Ihe measure. It is likely, however,
that the bill will be recommended t
