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 Innds and build
ings declined yesterday to grant fur-
tbor tlmo to tlio Capltul CIty Brick
and Pipe company of Dos Molncs to
complete tlio asylum buildings at Nor
folk , says tlio Lincoln Journal. The
contractor agreed to build three cot
tages and an administration building
at Norfolk , to take the place of one
largo building destroyed by lire. The
structures wore to have boon complet
ed October 1 , but are not yet finished.
The contractor asked the board to extend -
tend the time of completion until Feb
ruary 1. As the contract provides
that .1 penalty of $25 a day shall be
Imposed for every day after the first
of October , the board did not feel Jus-
tilled In granting an extension , as
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 'uilldings ready for
occupancy before tlio middle of Jan
uary or some Hmo in February. The
state will be under no responsibility
until the buildings are completed and
accepted. Then will come a sctlle- _
ment P'ul an adjustment of the dllll"
culty. It is reported that the contract-1
or v.-iii plead too much rain and a
strike of workmen and will endeavor
to class these as unusual or unforsecn
circumstances over which ho hud no
control. The contract price of the
work was a llttlo over $00,000. At
the time the contract was let 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 make no very largo proilt 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.

A snow Htorm was the development
of the weather last night and this
morning and at a Into hour today there
were Indications that the storm would
increase rather than decrease In se
verity. Up to mxm enough snow had
not fallen to make much of a showing

over the streets that added to the win-
torlsh conditions and made it seem us
though Christmas was much nearer
than formerly.

NEBRASKA'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE
PAYS A VISIT TO NORFOLK.
OFFICESEEKERS SOUGHT HIM
He Spent a Busy Afternoon Refused
to Pardon the Minister Serving
Time Left Last Night for His
Ranch In Keya Paha County.
Governor .T. II. Mickey of Nebraska
spent yesterday afternoon In Norfolk ,
lie arrived at noon , accompanied by
Dr. Greene , superintendent of tlio Lin
coln hospital for the insane , inspected
the new state institution now In pro
gress of construction here , held a
number of Interviews at the Oxnard
hotel later In the day and left at S
o'clock last night for his ranch In
Keya Paha county. Dr. Greene re
turned to Lincoln today.
Offlcescekers from all parts of North
Nebraska besieged the govornoc dur
ing his stay in the city. His 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 now state hospital
here , which will not bo finished for
some time , but for which appoint
ments may soon be 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 he had nothing in partic
ular to say.
Among the callers upon the governor -
or , aside from those who desire of
fices and appointments , was II. 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 lias committed a crime , "
ho 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 Formers 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. liiBinictloti is
offered In the following subjects :
Field crops and farm management ,
soils , breeds and judging of live-stock ,
feeding and management of live-stock ,
dairying , diseases of animals , horti
culture , shop work , farm machinery
and English.
Tlio course is a thoroughly practical
one designed for those young men who
can spend but a short time In school.
The structure and composition of
the soil Is studied In an elementary
way so that the student may have an
Idea of what substances compose the
neil and how they arc related to one
another , also that ho may see that the
soil Is not a miiHH of Inert material but
that It teems with myriads of microbe
organisms. The various properties
of ( ho soil are studied and the effect
of different methods of soil treatment
upon those proportion. In other
woulB It Is attempted to teach the
principle of the subject , ratlior than
to write down hard and fast rules for
handling the soli. No two soils are
exactly alike and conditions In differ-
out localities vary greatly , HO that It
is necessary that the farmer bo able
to adapt himself to all of those varia
tions If ho is to handle the neil prop
erly. 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 bettor
to plow deep or when to plow shallow ,
ho must understand the principles of
the subject. The relation of the soil
to water Is an Important feature In
this study and methods for conserv
ing the moisture are 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 are discussed in-a practical
way with a view to their use under
ordinary farm conditions. A treat
ment of each of the principal Held
crops , both for grain and forage , Is
followed somewhat according to the
following plan : characteristics , varie
ties , fertility , climate , soil , manures ,
tillage , seeding , cultivation , harvest
ing , preservation , position In rotation ,
uses.
Instruction Is given in judging seed
corn according to a scale of points.
The object of this instruction is to
familiarise the student with the good
and bad points exhibited by oar corn
to bo used for seed , so that he maybe
bo able to select seed that represents
a type of the greatest excellnco and
that may bo expcctd to produce the
best crops. This Is studied In the
laboratory and several days are de
voted to judging different varieties of
corn.
Tlio instruction in the department
of dairy husbandry for the short
course is given in lectures and lab
oratory work- . The brief tlmo which
the course continues makes it neces
sary to give n 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 to
practice in judging animals , so that
the students may use good Judgment
in buying both breeding stock and
feeders during later years. Attention
is given both to the demands of the
trade for fat animals and to the qual
ities which go to make good feeders.
The student Is nmdo familiar with
the methods which have been used to
develop and improve breeds of live
stock In the past. In brief , the aim of
the whole course Is to train the future
turo farmers how to get the most from
the husbandry of animals with the
least expenditure for food consumed.
Very Low Excursion Rates to Denver ,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo , via the
Northwestern line , will bo in effect

New and Startling Evidence Secured
Against the New Ulm Dentist.

prosecution untiorts that It In dally

about Dr. Koch , who In lu prlmm
charged with the murder of Dr. deb-
hard.
Gradually It Is ( raimplrlng that the
citizens' commlttoo has obtained tiomu
startling evidence and that u goodly
part of It wan mihmlttod at the closed-
door hearing hold before Justice lion-
ulngHon ,
It IB said the commlttoo ban ovl-
deuce to prove that the hummer found
In the olllco of Dr. Gebhard Immodlalo-
ly after the mnrdor , and with which
the murderer struck a blow that
crushed the skull of the dentist , belonged -
longed to Dr. Koch and wiui at his

The poison with which Dr. fob- !
hard's life wan Ilrnt attempted lmn

for bollovlng , to a doctor's olllco In
the same building with Koch'it. The
physician had a hottlo of iilryclmluo

ORGANIZATION IS BEING PUSHED ,
WITH GOAL IN SIGHT.
FINE GYMNASIUM ATTACHMENT
Such a Movement Would be a Great

I From Thin mluy'H Dnllv 1
Norfolk may have a Y. M. C. A.

mil baths and all other modern con
veniences which go toward making
this association so valuable the world
over.
A movement Is now on foot , for the
organization. A number of members
have been pledged already. One hun
dred will bo enough. Such nn organi
sation would be a 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 nn 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 tlio Young Men's
Christian association at Norfolk , Ne
braska , equipped with gymnasium ,
baths , reading room and Hold sports ,
and secretary qualified to direct and
Instruct In gympasllcH , I agree to take
a membership In such an organization
to last at least five years and pay $1
per month. Should I rcmovo from
Norfolk , this agreement to terminate ;
but In that event , I agree to , If possi
ble , obtain a member in my sload for
balance of the term. This agreement
to 1)0 void unless signed by 100 or
more persons. "
Manager Sprecher of the Nebraska
Telephone company has Hccurcd the
promise of $100 in cash from that cor

of the Sioux City Traction company ;
who knows Hans well. Hans has been
In Sioux City frequently In the past
few years , In connection with his work
as private detective for the Omaha
railroad. "Hans told a story once
