[ From Tuesday's Dally. ] The bill appropriating $100,000 for the repairing iviul rebuilding thu Norfolk asy- lam for the insaiiepassed finally and completely - plotoly the legislature of Nebraska yester day at ternoou \ \ lion the roll was taken in the Bouuto and thu money is available the instant the poll of Qovoruor Mickey has traced his signature across the papor. Norfolk gets her asylum back , with still n week to spare before the session comes to a close. It pubsed with the omorgeuoy cluuso mnjority nud no delay will be nocessiuy. Thu final autiuu cuuiu yesterday afternoon , when the bill went through the senate. As originally introduced , the bill read OH follows : An uoc to appropriate the eum of Quo Hundred and Fmy Thousand Dollars for the purpo.se of repairing thu Hospital for the liiHuno of Nebraska , at Nortolk. Be it enacted by the legislature of the ntato of Nebraska : Section 1. That there is hereby np- propiiated out of any money in the treasury of the state of Nebraska , not othersviso upnropriated , the sum of One Hundred and Fitiy Thousand Dollars ( $150,000.00) ) , or so much thereof as maybe bo necessary therefor , for the purpose of repairing and rebuilding the damaged and destroyed portions of the Hospital for the lusauo of Nebraska , located al Norfolk , to be expended under tht < direction of the Board of Public Lauds nud Buildings. Provided , however , That one-half only of the amount so appropriated as aforesaid shall be available for such pur poses during the year 1908 , and t o other oup-lmlf thereof , shall be avail V able duri1 g rue year ,11)04. ) Section a It shall bo the duty of the Board of Public Lands aud Buildings immediately upon any part of said funds becoming available for that purpose , to proceed to repair and rebuild such portions tions of said Hospital for the Insane of Nebraska , at Norfolk , as were damaged or destroyed by flro. Section 8. An emergency existing , this act shall take effect and bo in force from and after its passage. As above stated , the bill has been changed in three particulars. The amount of $150,000 was reduced to $100,000 ; the entire amount of the money is made available at once , iiisteac of one-half of it ; and a clause was adder to make the building fire proof. The fact of the passage of the bill was telephoned to THE NEWS at G o'clock last evening , too late for the paper. It had just gone through. It was Dr. Alden , senator from this district , who did the talking. It had bcou thought that the senate might possibly increase the amount o ! the appropriation to $150,000. In that case it would have gone back to the house , which would have disagreed. Then a conference committee wonlc have been appointed and a compromise made. Bat all this would have taken time and the days of the session are growing few. Yesterday Dr. Alden saw that there would be trouble in the hoaso when the bill came back ; that if it became entangled , with the house in its present humor , the bill might very easily have been entirely lost. So , as engineer of the bill , he pushed it through the senate , to clinch the $100,000 and to make sure of the bailding. The hoaso passed the bill by a vote ol seventy-five to eleven last week. It was hustled to "tho senate immediately and was finished within four days Throughout the house contest Repre sentative N. M. Nelson of Pierce one Cedar counties , and T.F. Memmiugor.o : Madison , have stood by the bill con stoutly. Nelson introduced it. He was a republican and with the majority Memminger engineered it ; ho was a democrat and with the minority. Both men have worked incessantly for Nor folk. The bill was introduced at the very beginning of the season. Their part of the woik was finished last week In the senate Dr. Alden of Pierce has managed for Norfolk's interest. Ho has been persistent and the result is shown in yesterday's ballot. Norfolk has not boon asleep. The committee of representative citizens have kept at the asylum bill all winter They have done systematic work am the asylum comes to Norfolk. Hon. W M. Robertson is chairman of this com mittee. Other members are G. A Luikart , W. H. Bucholz , J. E. Simpson O. D. Jenkins. Bart Mapes and W. N. Huso. Groaps of this committee have been in Lincoln moro or less all of the the time this winter aud their work in the interest of the city is brought out by the fact that what wan a comparatively parativoly unfavorably inclined legis . latare at the beginning , has been brought to a body of men almost nnani measly in favor of patting the burned bailding back where it ought to be. One hundred thousand dollars wil re-establish the institution in a nice way. It can not , of coarse bo as largo as it was before it burned , but succeed ing legislatures will now bo ready to make additional appropriations whicl may be needed. The flro proof feature will make the structure permanent ant a beautiful piece of mechanical science it will be. If the preliminary work is rushed ho Norfolk hospital will probably bo a Unco of activity within a month. Hid * or work and that sort of thing will ro- ire timoi but a few weeks will put non on the ground. W M. Robertson , W. H Bucholz and W. N. HUBO , mo inborn of the com * nlttco , Imvo gene to Lincoln today to express the appreciation of Norfolk to Nebraska's legislators. The Norfolk asylum burned on Mnn day , September 23 , 11)01. ) Flro started u the tunnel early in the morning and continued until noon , It was the worst flro the northern part of Nebraska has over seen. Quo lifo wns lost. The main building , alouo , was burned. It might have been saved if there had boon water supply but this had been neglected by previous legislatures. Anew now stand pipe has now boon erected , iiowover , in cose of future emergencies , The patients were cured for at the buildings that remained , for some timo. ISzra P. Savagewasat that time gover nor , by chance. The first act to show his inability and his criminal intent was to remove the Norfolk patients to Lincoln and Hastings and to sot up a cry against rebuilding the hospital at Norfolk. Ho iluyed his game as hard as ho could. Norfolk was the first city in the state to find him out ; Tun NICWH was the first paper to light against his reuomi- nation. It has been something over eighteen mouths binco the asylum burned at Norfolk. Ezra P. Savage has como and gone and by Governor Mickey's signa ture today , Norfolk's building returns to the hill northeast of the city. A CHANCE FOR THE BOYS , .

" SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP. Cured by One Bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. "When I had an attack of the grip last winter ( the fecoud one ) I actually cured myself with ono bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy , " says Frank W. Perry , editor of the Enterprise , Shortsville , N. Y. . "This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a tcaepoouful of this remedy , and when the coughing spoil would como on nt night I would take a doge and it seemed tlmt in the briefest interval the cough would PUSH off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted at * a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip , simply because I had never tried it for such a purpose , but it did , and it seemed with the Bocond attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only bo of less duration , but the pains were far loss severe , and I bad not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid mo adieu.

Constantinople , April 2. Details of the disturbances In north Albania show that the revolt which has broken out thcro against the reform scheme of the powers is a very serious one. The Albanian rising has caused a panic among the Christians of old Servla , who are fleeing toward Servla. A panic has occurred at Prllop , In con sequence of the growing fanaticism of the Albanians against the Christians. The latter have closed their shops and schools and are seeking refuge at Monostlr. Numbers of Christians have been murdered in the Prllep dis trict during the last few days. The rebellion in Macedonia is con sidered hero to have begun already and the situation Is expected to be come worse. The Albanian movement Is regarded as especially dangerous because the sultan will hardly dare to suppress it , ho being surrounded by Albanian guards. Special trains with troops on boarc are proceeding from Monastlr am other placea to Vncustoon , where se vere lighting recently occurred. It Is reported hero that there were 200 cas ualtles. The report Is confirmed that M Stcherblnn , the Russian consul a Mltrovltza. was shot In the back by Albanian soldiers. It Is estimated that there are 20,000 Albanians under arms and a general rising would bo extremely serious. An KiiKfiKlntc Yountr I'emon. Father So Filmy Luhrlng is engaged to young Rattles ?
