THE NEBRASKA STATE HOSPITAL
IS LONG OVERDUE.
NO ADDED TIME IS GRANTED
State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings Has Decided That the
Contractors Must Pay Forfeit of $25
Per Day Since October.
The board of public lauds nml build
ings declined yesterday to grunt fur
ther tlmo to the Copltal Clty Urlck
and Pipe company of Dos Molnes to
complete the asylum buildings at Nor
folk , says the Lincoln Journal. The
contractor agreed to build three cot-
tagcs and an administration building
at Norfolk , to take the place of one
largo building destroyed by fire. The
structures wore to have boon complet
ed October 1 , but are not yet finished.
The contractor asked the board to ex
tend the time of completion until Feb
ruary 1. As the contract provides
that a penalty of $25 a day shall bo
Imposed for every day after the first
of October , the board did not feel jus
tified In granting an extension , ns
such action might change the obliga
tion of the parties to the contract. It
Is understood that It will bo impossi
ble to 'have the 'uilldlngs ready for
occupancy before tno middle of Jan
uary or ROIMO Mme In February. The
state will be un < 2or no responsibility
until tbo buildings nro completed and
accepted. Then will come a settlement -
ment PT'.d an adjustment of the difll-
culty. It Is reported that the contract
or \vlll plead too much rain and a
strike of workmen and will endeavor
to class these as unusual or unforseon
circumstances over which bo bad no
control. The contract price of tbo
work was a llttlo over $90,000. At
tbo time the contract was lot it was
predicted that the job' was taken at
a close margin to say the least. The
state architect has watched the work
closely and it is said the contractor
will umko no very largo profit on the
job.
Men in Norfolk connected with the
contracting company state that whenever -
over any change is made in a con
tract , the contract Is annulled. They
claim that changes have been made
in this contract , and that , therefore ,
they need not pay the forfeit.

NEBRASKA'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE
PAYS A VISIT TO NORFOLK.
OFFICESEEKERS SOUGHT HIM

gress of construction herp , held a
number of interviews at the Oxnard
hotel later in the day and left at 8
o'clock last night for his ranch in
Keya Paha county. Dr. Greene re
turned to Lincoln today.
Ofllcesookers from all parts of North
Nebraska besieged the governoc dur
ing his stay in the city. Ills tlmo was
mapped out very closely for him , and
no minute was thrown away in the
strenuous string of visitors who had
assembled from all directions to make
their pleas. The new state hospital
hero , which will not bo finished for
some time , but for which appoint
ments may soon bo made , was the
principal objective feature of the vis
its.
Before leaving the governor gave
out no appointments for publication.
In fact such a busy , busy day had been
mapped out for the Nebraska execu
tive that he had little tlmo to bo in
terviewed for publication , further than
to say that ho had nothing In partic
ular to say.
Among the callers upon the govern
or , aside from those who desire of
fices and appointments , was H. C.
Hull , who presented to the governor
a petition for the pardon of a former
minister , named Boyd , who was con
victed some time ago. The governor
refused to grant the pardon.
' "That man has committed a crime , "
he said , "and ho ought to bo punished
for It. "

WINTER COURSE AT THE UNI
VERSITY OPENS JANUARY 2.
MANY SUBJECTS ARE TREATED
During a Month Farmers Will bo Giv
en a Course of Advantage at Lin
coln Soils , Seed Corn , Animal Hus
bandry and Other Data ,
Lincoln , Dec. 13. The winter
course In agriculture begins January
2 , and closes March 3. Instruction is
offered In the following subjects :
Field crops and farm management ,
sollu , breeds and judging of llvo-stock ,
feeding and management of live-stock ,
dairying , diseases of animals , horti
culture , shop work , farm machinery
and English.
The course Is a thoroughly practical
0110 designed for those young men who
can spend but a short tlmo In school.
The utructiiro and composition of
the soil Is studied In an elementary
way so that the student may have an
Idea of what substances compose the
soil and how they nro related to 0116
another , also that ho may BOO that the
soli IH not a mass of inert material but
Hint It leoiiiH with myriads of microbe
organisms. The various properties
of the soli are studied and the effect
of different methods of soil treatment
iilioii these propertied. In other
wotds It Is attempted to teach the
principle } * of the subject , rather than
to write down hard and fast rules for
iiiiiuiiiii { LIIU nun. i t * iwu mum ( iiu
exactly nllko and conditions In differ
ent localities vary greatly , so that It
IH necessary that the farmer bo able
to adapt himself to all of these varia
tions If ho is to handle the soil pi op-
orly. It cannot bo said that either
deep or shallow plowing Is universal
ly preferable , but in order that the
farmer may know when It Is hotter
to plow ( loop or when to plow shallow ,
ho must understand Iho principles of
the subject. The relation of the soli
to water Is an Important feature In
this study and methods for conserv
ing the moisture nro discussed. The
maintenance of fertility through the
use of manures and the plowing under
and rotation of crops receives atten
tion.
The climatic conditions that affect
the production of crops are studied
and a general survey of crops grown
In different portions of the world Is
presented , serving to show the effect
of different soils and climates upon
the habits of growth and quality of
crops. Methods of improving crops ,
especially the cereals , are studied.
These arc discussed Ina practical
way with a view to their use under
ordinary farm conditions. A treat
ment of eacli of the principal field
crops , both for grain and forage , la
followed somewhat according to the
following plan : characteristics , varie
ties , fertility , climate , soli , manures ,
tillage , seeding , cultivation , harvest
ing , pioHorvatlon , position In rotation ,
uses.
Instruction Is given in judging seed
corn according to a scale of points.
The object of this Instruction Is to
familiarize the student with the good
and bad points exhibited by ear corn
to be used for seed , so that he maybe
bo able to select seed that represents
a typo of the greatest excellnco and
that may bo oxpectd to produce the
best crops. Tills is studied In the
laboratory and several days are de
voted to judging different varieties of
corn.
The instruction in the department
of dairy husbandry for the short
course is given in lectures and lab
oratory work. The brief time which
the course continues makes It neces
sary to give a general survey of the
subject and only practical lines are
dealt with.
The department of animal husban
dry offers to winter course students
an extremely practical course of lec
tures covering the management of
farm stock. This work includes the
study of foodstuffs , how to combine
them for best results In feeding all
classes of animals , whether for beef ,
milk , pork , mutton , wool , or work.
Considerable attention Is given tc
practice in judging animals , so that
the students may use good judgmen !
in buying both breeding stock and
feeders during later years. Attcntlor
is given both to the demands of the
trade for fat animals and to the qual
Hies which go to make good feeders
The student Is made familiar will
the methods which have been used tc
develop and improve breeds of llv <
stock In the past. In brief , tbo aim oi
the whole course Is to train the future
turo farmers how to get the most fron
the husbandry of animals with the
least expenditure for food consumed

SAY HAMMER WAS KOCH'S.
Now and Startling Evidence Secured
Against tbo Now Ulm Dentist ,
Now Ulm , Minn. , Doc. 111. The
prosecution uimurtn that It Is dully
drawing closer the chains of ovldonco
about Dr. Koch , who Is In prison
charged with the murder of Dr. ( Job-
hard.
Gradually It Is transpiring that the
citizens' committee has obtalnud HOIIIO
startling ovldonco and that a goodly
part of It WIIH submitted at the closed-
door bearing held before Jtmtluo lion-
nlngHon.
It IH said the committee him evi
dence to prove that the hammer found
In the ofllco of Dr. Gobhard Immediate
ly after the murder , and with which
the murderer struck a blow that
crushed the skull of the dentist , belonged -
longed to Dr. Koch and was at hlu
homo prior to the crlmo. Two wit-
no.sHon , It IH positively slated , HO Urn-
tilled In the hearing before the Jim-
tloo.
The poison with which Dr. Gob-
Imrd'H life was first attempted has
boon traced , there Is the best reason
for believing , to a doctor's olllco In
the same building with Koch's. The
physician had a bottle of Htryohnlnn
and upon Investigation tiomo Ilino
since found that purl of thn contents
of the bottle had been removed by
HOIIIO person not known to him.
It WUH strychnine whlcli Dr. Gob-
hard received through the mulls prior
to the murderous iiHtmult upon him In
his olllco , and every effort will bo
made to provo that Koch nlolo the
drug from Iho olllco of the physician
and mailed it on otio of bin trliw to
Hnnskn , where he had a branch of
fice , to the man whoso life ho sought.
ORGANIZATION IS BEING PUSHED ,
WITH GOAL IN SIGHT.
FINE GYMNASIUM ATTACHMENT
Such a Movement Would be a Great
Advantage to the Young Men of the

I From Thuisilny'H I'ullv )
Norfolk may have a Y. M. C. A.
with a gymnasium and reading room
ind baths and all other modern con
veniences which go toward making
Lhls association so valuable the world
> ver.
A movement is now on foot for tbo
organization. A number of inemberH
uivo been pledged already. Ono bun-
Ired will bo enough. Such an organi
sation would bo u great help to the
young men of the city. It would
strengthen them and give them a
place for recreation and amusement.
Young men who are now growing
up in Norfolk unrestrained and with
resorts which are not the right sort ,
would be given an opportunity for bet
terment.
All young men should try to push
this movement. The pledge follows :
"In the event of the organization of
a local society of the Young Men's
Christian association at Norfolk , Ne
braska , equipped with gymnasium ,
baths , reading room and field sports ,
and secretary qualified to direct and
Instruct in gympaHtlcH , I agree to take
i membership In such an organization
to last at least five years and pay $1
per month. Should I remove from
Norfolk' , this agreement to terminate ;
liit In that event , I agree to , if possi
ble , obtain a member in my stead for
balance of the term. This agreement
to be void unless signed by 100 or
more persons. "
Manager Sprecher of the Nebraska
Telephone company has secured the
promise of $100 in cash from that cor
poration , provided the W. C. T. U.
will secure 100 now subscribers to
the telephone service. And it will
pay the society another dollar for each
additional subscriber.
