TIIE NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY , F151WUARY 'JO , 11103. Data Showing Number Who Came to Norfolk. AVERAGE , GOO VISITS A YEAR. Vast Difference Between the Cost of Coming to Norfolk or Going to Lin coln and Hastings North Nebraska Institution Should bo Rebuilt. [ Krom Monday's Dally. ] Norfolk , Feb. 10. While I was in the Norfolk asylum I tried to keep some data regarding the number of visits patients received from relatives or friends. Some patients wore visited by friends monthly and in many instance * several friends of a patient came at the same time , but reducing all those visits to an average for 150 patients , I found that 25 patients received 110 visitors , while each of the remaining 12. " ) re ceived .what was equivalent to four visitors per year. This would make COO visits by relatives or friends to pa tients each year. As nearly us I could estimate the averagedistance traveled by each visitor was 85 miles , or 170 miles for the roiuid trip , some visitors from thn extreme western portion of the state covering 700 miles in one trip. The 500 visitors therefore traveled 85- 000 miles in one year and spent in rail road faro $2 550.00. II id those visitors been compelled to go to Lincoln or Hastings to vifcit patten's , computing the average extra distance fnmi their homesfromjmydiita , as 70 miles or 140 for the round trip , they would have been obliged to travel 155,000 miles and to have paid for rail road fare alone $ -1,050.00 for one year. With a population of 800 in the asy lum this item would bo doubled and amount to nearly $10,000 per year , or $100,000 in ten years , enough to build and equip a hospital. Nearly one-half of this item the tax payers of the north ern portion of the state would be com pelled to spend extra , and this does not take into account the value of time spent or the extra expenditure for hotel bills , etc. All sanitary experts condemn the con centration of people any where , partic \v ularly the insane , who are peculiarly I difficult to keep in a sanitary condition. The modern tendency is toward disper sion , and many states have several dozens of small hospitals in lieu of largo ' institutions. The north Platte district has now about 800 insauo and a building that could accommodate 200 is urgently demanded. The extra buildings should be in the form of cottages for the sick. convalescent and mild cases , and these could be bailt from time to time as needed , always keeping the violent pa tients in the main building. With an insane population of 800 in a district , about 50 will always be out on parole , the remaining250 being the number to bo provided for. The argument in favor of concentra tion is an argumeutuin ad Mammon It is trnn that the expenses of running an asylum would bo thereby lessened. It is the same spirit that sets a stunt for patients to do in the beet fields irrespec tive of the physical or mental require ments of the patient , bnt solely to grow beets to sell and thus lessen the expense to the state of the maintenance of pa- tjents. In the beet fields of the Norfolk asylum n banker with an estate valued at $50,000 an ex-judge of a neighboring county , worked garbed in overalls , nol for exercise , but to raise beets to sell , and yet we call our asylums hospitals Look nt the reports of superinten dents , which is not their fault but that of the state which compels such a sys tem , reports not of hospital data bnl Itemized accounts of the number of bushels of onions and beets and potatoes raised. So large a detail of patients being constantly in the fields , gives medical officers no opportunity for treat ment or observation , and medical re ports of Nebraska asylums are worth- less. less.No No argument or consideration can offset the right of the taxpayer to demand mand that such an institution shall bo a hospital and not a farm for convicts or a corrall for the herding of prisoners at the smullebt cost per capita , and thai it shall be located centrally in the ter ritory fro n which its inmates come , BO as to bo accessible without extra ex pense to those whose misfortune it is to bo compelled to use it.J. .

State Journal : An unpleasant duty , .hat . of carrying out the death penalty n the case of Gottleib Nolgcnfiud of Pierce county , will devolve upon Warden Boomer March 18.

Clans ROBO , a farmer residing six miles southwest of Lawerouco , with his two eons , is putting in his spare time in running n hydraulic boring machine. They have a hole in the earth COO foot deep and propose to keep it going until they find gas , oil or coal. At present they are working through n substance almost as hard as steel in which thny are making progress of about an inch a day. Farmers who have an abundance of spare tiinu during the winter months and believe that their land overlies valuable natural deposits might do worse than to follow the example of Mr. Rose and sous. The funeral of David Whitla will bo lield tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from his homo east of Battle Creek , the services to bo conducted by Rev. J. B. Leedom , the Methodist minister of that town.

Mr. and Mrs. 0. II. Reynolds enter tained a company of friends last even ing , and though bitterly cold outside , the guests found a warm welcome awaiting them and the rigors of the weather were forgotten in the enjoy ment of six-hand euchre by six tables of players. The Stitt family seempd to consider it a duty to appropriate all the prizes and their trust scheme won out to the mutual regret of the other guests , Mrs. Stitt being presented with the first favor for the ladies while Mr. Stitt captured that for the gentlemen. For the "shouting" prize a number of ladies had to cut and Mrs. MoBride was thus determined the lucky winner. At the conclusion of the games the guests were served with a nice two-course supper. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds will be at home to another company of their friends tonight. 0. D. Jenkins or perhaps it was ac cident evidently considered the tem perature last night favorable for the formation of a toboggan slide down Ninth street , and when he went to draw a pail of water about 10:80 : ho turned the rod controlling the water with such energy that it broke square off down below and the water has been flowing freely from his house since that time It flooded the yard and the street and the temperature quickly converted it into ice , forming a glazed path down Ninth to Main. He believes in turning his and the city's misfortune to some account , and if his friends care to slide he promises to be there with a lantern to light them down the pathway of congealed aqua. Mr. Jenkins informed the waterworks man of his trouble and it is said that something like the follow ing conversation ensued : "Have you a meter ? " "No. " "Well then let'er run. " Mr. Tucker , a farmer living six miles west and two miles north of Norfolk had an experience with a prairie wolf at his homo Monday night that indi cates an excessive boldness on the part of the animals. He was awakened during the night with the loud and pro longed balking of the dogs and going clown to investigate ho found them fighting with a large wolf in the very door yard. He at once secured bis gnu , which was loaded with but one shell , and proceeded to enter the fight. Ho called the dogs off and the half fam ished wolf followed them within 1C feet of the door. Mr. Tucker shot at the animal but failed to kill it. While ho was hunting the house ov < r for an other shell the fight between the dogs and wolf was renewed with vigor and the wounded animal was driven to a near by straw stack. Failing to find another charge for the gun Mr. Tucker clubbed the weapon and went after his wolfship with the result that ho was quickly dispatched. The pelt and the scalp will toward Mr. Tucker for his experience. Paul Gilmore , who has hitherto ap peared in romantic dramas in which the ont , thrust and parry of swords was a distinctive and dominant feature , will appear here soon in Haddou Chambers' brightly amusing comedy , "The Ty ranny of Tears , " which depends upon brisk incisive dialogue and some amus ingly complicated situations , inter preted by clever playerst for its success , Will Try to Head Off Business from the Northwestern , LINE OF STEAMBOATS TO BE RUN rrolght and Passengers Will bo Boated Between Nlobrara arid Sioux City Railroad Men Will Take Grlovoncos to Chicago , [ Krom Snturiliiy'H Dally. ] Sioux Oity is pleased to note that the Chicago , Milwaukee and St. Paul Rail way company is i\pt to Bit patiently by and see the Northwestern , through its [ Jonostoel extension , gather in the whole business of the territory entered. The method to bo used in competition is outlined by the Sioux Oity Journal , which states that Capt. JnBoph Loach uid two sous of Niobrara have pur chased the freight and passenger packet steamboat , F , J. Bachelor , and have re- Itted the steamer Little Mand with new engines , boilers and cabins. During the coming season the two boats will run between Niobrara and Sioux Oity , thus inaugurating a Charles Mix county-Slonx City service , which Is leslgned to offset for the benefit of the Milwaukee the service to Omaha via the Elkhorn. The Baohlor is 181) ) feet n length , 85 feet wide and carries 800 tons. The Little Maud will carry 1W > tons. In addition to this service dipt. Loiich and sous are constructing a ganolino ferryboat which will bo utcd l > y the Milwaukee nf n transfer at Nio brara. The Milwaukee officials are evidently keeping close tab on the business se cured by the Northwestern through its extension and hope to swing consider able of it their way. The Journal says : "The Milwaukee laid the plans for this service last year , when it did consider able beat business below Niobrara with points not connected with railroad facilities. Several stations were es tablished and nil winter buyers have been purchasing grain and stock , and other buyers will be stationed at points not conflicting with Milwaukee terri tory. The belief is the Milwaukee will make a strong bid for this business , in asmuch as the traffic from Niobrara over the Northwestern gives employ ment to two daily freight trains. " Grievances Go to Chicago. One of the first results of the closer relations existing between the Elkhorn and the Northwestern system proper is the directing of the grievance commit tees of conductors and trainmen to the general headquarters in Chicago. They expected to settle the matters up for discussion with General Manager Bid- well at Omaha , bnt it is now learned that the committees of the Order of Railway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will bo cfcmblned with the Chicago & Northwestern gen eral committee of the two orders and will with that body meet the general management of the Northwestern sys tem in Chicago soon.

Have yon noticed that the young pro fessional man who preached that it was not necessary to wear an overcoat to keep warm , has BO far modified his theory as to believe that a pair of ear muffs would not prove uncomfortable ? He will probably wear them as soon as the soreness and swelling goes ont of his ears sufficiently * to make it possible. Mr. and Mrs. 0. H.
