lleemer CSets the lnltentlary Contract.
The board of public lands aud build
ings met yesterday, says tho Lincoln
Journal, and decided to award tho pen
itentiary contract to Warden llccmcr.
liuckstaff llros, of this city presented
seven different propositions in their bid
and Mr. llccmcr presented one, which
the board accepted as the best. In
brief, Mr. IJecmer agrees to care for
convicts at 40 cents per capita, tho stato
to furnish him all penitentiary prop
erty and keep tho satno in repair, lie in
return to account for all money re
ceived and paid out, and to refund to
the state all moneys coming into his
hands, less $3,000. lie is to pay lilsown
bookkeeper out of tho $3,000.
This proposition is construed by somo
to mean that tho board will be in con
trol of tho penitentiary contract and
conduct it for the benelit of tho state,
Mr. Ueemcr retaining as his sharo a fair
salary. Those who havo investigated
the proposition And no fault with it.
If the contract is worth whut the ap
praisers say it is under Mr. Beemer b
bid, tho Btato will got tho benefit of all
profits. Mr. llccmcr is considered ono
of tho best managers whoever occupied
tho position of warden, and it is gen
erally believed that under his bid tho
state has a good show of getting every
cent that can possibly bo made off con
vict labor.

Tho llefit Sugar Crop.
Correspondence Omaha Tee: Tht
Oxnard Beet Sugar company of Grand
Island will this year, beyond any ques
tion of doubt, mako tho largest run In
the history of tho beet sugar Industry
in America.
W. II. Baird has been at work an
alyzing beets. Ho stated that tho beets
for their present condition as to matur
ity aro showing up splendidly, most of
them averaging from 10 to 14 per cent.
Tho lato rains, whilo not injuring tho
crop, have retarded its development.
And in view of this fact tho company
has dectded to give an additional price
per ton to those contractors who will
mako later deliveries. For November
deliveries tho comnanv will nav :
cents extra per ton for December beets
3U cents; lor January beets 35 cents;
for February beets 40 cents per ton.
u lien asiteu what, in his opinion,
would tho crop for this factory bo.
Ferrar stated that they figured on no
less than 35,000 tons. This, ho said,
was the lowest possible estimate. Tho
factory had about 4,000 acres contracted
at the beginning of the season. Sup
posing 500 acres in tho different coun
ties had failed, there still would bo
3,803 acres in good condition, and these
will certainly average moro than pen
tons to the acre. A few farmers who
havo taken good care of their beets ex
pect to harvest twenty-flvo tons to the
acre. The Grand Island factory ex
pects to begin tho manufacture of sugar
September 1 and run tlve or six months.
Two hundred men per day will bo cm

In regard to tho statement that Gov

Army men, Adjutant General Barry
said tho governor was not constated.
He and Major Feehet alone wera re
sponsible. He stated that the G. A, 11.
reunion committee advertised a sham
battle without any authority. The
committee llrst went so far as to get
out a program for the national guard,
but the chairman of that committee
kindly withdrew the programs from
circulation when so requested by the
militia authorities. The adjutant gen
eral states that a sham battle was op
posed from tho Start by Major Fchet
aud himself for various reasons, one
being the liability to accident as proven
by past experience.

All Hat the First Floor Destroyed tn Les
Thnn Two Hours The Structuro
tho Scene of tho Itcccnt Con

Was Most Magnificently
Tarnished.
Boston, Sept, 0. A passer by dis
covered fire at 10:05 o'clock this morn
ing in tho Masonic temple, one of the
finest Masonic buildings in the United
States, tho placo where the Knights
Templar triennial conclave was held
last week, and a fow moments later
an alarm was given from box 53, noted
as being locatod in ono of the most
dangerous fire districts in the city.
At almost tho same time nn nlarm
was sent in from box 7a in the Parker
house, and all the flro apparatus down
town hurried to that place. Tho hotel
blaze proved to be trivial, but the con
fusion resulting from the almost simul
taneous alarms gave tho fire in tho
Temple a good start before tho ap
paratus arrived,
District Chief Hugan, who was on
ton of the tower of tho Tremont street
side of tho building, found tho flames
curling up around him and was forced
to jump to tho roof, almost twenty
feet below. Ho escaped uninjured.
About the samo tlmeatubo on chem
ical engine No. 3 exploded and Lieu
tenant Madden, who wns working On
tho engine, was thrown to tho ground
and probably fatally injured. He
struck on his head and it was believed
his skull was fractured.
' In less than an hour the roof of the
magnificent building had fallen, car
rying down what tho flro baft left of
the thrC'O upper stories, and making
hopeless tho task of saving anything
but tho lower floor.
Tho toinplo waB ono of the most
magnificently furnished Masonic
buildings in the country and tholo3S
will be over $500,000. Tho buiUllng
cost about $750,000. Valuable papeis
in the safes on the second floor were
saved.
NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.
Consul Chnnccllor Iteport tho Claims
of an Italian Kxncrt.
"Washington, Sept. 0. A new cure
for consumption has been reported to
tho state department by United States
Consul Chancellor at Havre. Ho says
it was first brought to the attention
of the world at a congre&s of physi
cians nnd scientists at Bordeaux to
consider the question of combatling
consumption by vaccination.
Murlgliano, an Italian, read a papery
which, attracted much attention, claim
ing to havo discovered an eillcaeious
process for tho treatment of consump
tion by the injection of tubular serum.
which, he says renders the disease
immune.
Tho consul recalls the comparative
failures of other attempts to treat con
sumption successfully und says this
particular process Is s,ill In the "experi
mental stage. The paper is open to
several objections, for Professor Mnrl
gliano gives no precise- information as
to his process for obtaining the scrum,
which can bo had only from himself,
and his statistics aro incomplete and
kicking confirmation.

HYPNOTISM IN CRIME.
Tho Subject DlncUBjcd by tho Medico
Legal Congres.
Nbw Yonic, Sept. 9. The third day's
session of tho Medico-Lcgnl congress
began by tho reading by Clark Bell of
a paper by Gustavo Bochm on "Tho
Brutality of Capital Punishment."
Tho author contended that tho death
penalty had no doterrant effect; that
it was a rclie of feudal barbarism, nnd
was merely an act of rovongo on tho
pi 1 ? ,no stttl0, Tm"o afternoon scs
sioiias'opencd with the reading of a
wpc by Clark Boll on "Hypnotism hi
the Coutts of Law."
Mr. Bell pointed out that It
appeared tho majority of medical men
in this country did not recognize hyp
notic traneo as an existing fact. The
lawyers and judges wcro on the same
grounds ns tho doctors. In the courts
of Europo tho contrary was tho fact
and men of the highest charnctor and
Erofcssional attainments devoted their
est efforts to its study and elucida
tion. As it wns with professional men,
so it is with tho jpeople.
Professor Carl Sextus of Chicago
wrote I o say that a natural criminal
could bo mado to do criminal acts
under hypnotic influence, but not a
person of real moral worth. Dr. W. L.
Howard of Baltimore said that hypno
tism was a reality. Ho gave several
instances of hypnotized persons in
Baltimore, including his own servant,
whom ho sent to a neighboring phj'sl
clan's laboratory to steal everything
tho doctor had. He restored tho fellow
whilo ho had tho articles still in his
possession. The doctor confessed that
it affected the man's brain somewhat,
but he always tookcaro, except on this
occasion, to get tho subject back into
a good mental stato before ho com
pletely restored him.
The doctor also hypnotized a bank
cashier nnd mnde him steal 845,000. Ho
performed an operation in tho John
Hopkins university with the patient
under hypnotic influence. Hypnotism
Was invaluable as a corrector of
morals. Dr. G rover of Massachusetts
told of a young woman in Boston who
had n tendency to tuberculosis being
cured by hypnotic influence.

The Horn! Syndicate Fulls to Keep
Up
the Gold Itcscrvo Fund.
Washington, Sept. 0. A tolegram
received at the treasury department
states that 81,000,000 in gold has been
withdrawn for oxport from tho sub
treasury at New York. Slight gains,
however, were mado at Chicago and
other points, aggregating 180,000, so
tho true amount of tho reserve at tho
close of business was 808,513,520. Tho
cash balance was 8181,577,108.
The treasury ofllcials maintain their
usual reticence on tho subject, but
there is no doubt that they were some
what disappointed and surprised that
the syndicate permitted the business
day to close without making any de
posit. From the first the ofllcials havo
confidently believed 8100,000,000 was
tho lowest point which tho syndicate
would permit the reserve to reach,
and hence their inaction at this time
is not understood. There is, however,
UO-.&kH'av felt, as it is expected the
syndicate will come to the rescue on

l'LATFOIlll OE lUUNCH'LKS.
The democrats of Nebraska, in con
vention assembled, congratulate tho
country upon tho sure signs of return
ing prosperity. In spite of the evil
predictions alike of protectionists and
silver inflationists, the country is stead
ily and surely gaiuing ground, thuB
justifying the wisdom of tho reversal
of the republican policies of protective
tariff taxes and coinage of a redundant
quantity of token-dollars. Tho fact
that tho wheels of industry, so long
silenced as a consequence of these poli
cies by a long and depressing panic,
have resumed their wonted motion and
that moro than 300,000 lnoorcrs are re
ceiving an increase of wages of 12 per
cent proves this assertion.
CONGRATULATE OKOVEIt.
Wo send greeting and congratula
tions to Grover Cleveland nnd his cab
inet, not only for their wise and pru
dent course which has aided so much
in bringing about tho better financial
.condition, but alco for their firm and
fearless adherence throughout tho long
depression to sound principles of econ
omies', for their just conception of the
rights of tho whole people, and for
their unswerving fidelity in upholding
and protecting the honor and integrity
of tho nation against organized mob
violence.
A GOLD STANDAND.
Wo indorse the national democratic
platform of 1803 and the interpretation
placed thereon by tho president, and
we declnro ourselves unequivocally and
unreservedly for that metallic money
as the standard unit, the bullion and
mint value of which are approximately
the same, the purchasing power of
which, regardless ot government mint
age, is tho least fluctuating in all the
markets of tho civilized world. Wo
insist upon this policy ns especially
necessary for tho protection of the
farmers, laborers and property owning
debtors the most defenseless victims
of unstable money and fluctuating cur
rency. Free coinage of silver, 10 to 1, means
silver monometallism; it means poorer
money and Jess of it; it means less
wages for the laboring man and less
actual money for tho farmer and very
much less credit, us well as money for
the business man. It means bank
ruptcy for all, save tho mine owner.
ONLY ONE MENACE.
We recognize in the issue and reissue
of our treasury notes a serious menace
to the stability of the national finances
and we favor the retirement of all
treasury notes at the earliest possible
moment with proper and safe guaran
tees for maintaining the necessary vol
ume of the currency which shall bo de
vised by a competent, non-partisan cur
rency commission.
The constitution of this state pro
vides that no religious test shall bo
made as a qualification for office. That
provision we accept both in the letter
and in the spirit and we condemn every
attempt by secret societies or other
wise to proscribe any portion of our
citizens on account of their religious
beliefs or adulations.
T. C. Marshall nominated T. J. Ma
honey for candidate for justice of tho
supremo court The nomination was
mado by acclamation and D. W. Camp
and J. H. Ames conducted the nominee
to the platform.
Mr. Mahoney was greeted with ap
plause when he stepped to the front of
the stage to make his speech of thanks.
He said that whether locally the con
test was crowned by victory or defeat
he thought that the duty of the con
vention had been done by holding up
before the people the principles of their
party. Whether there was one vote or
100,000 for tho candidate of a party if
