APPROVES OF BILL GIVING $35 , .
000 TO NORFOLK HOSPITAL.
THE MONEY 18 NOW AVAILABLE
Will be Used In Repairing West Wing ,
Boilers and Machinery and In Beau
tifying the Grounds A Scene of
Activity the Coming Summer.
. Governor Mickey 1ms attached his
signature to the hill Introduced hy
Representative Richardson appropriat
ing $35,000 for the bettering of the
Norfolk hospital for the Insane and
that measure Is now a law. It was
passed and approved with the emer
gency clause , making the money Im
mediately available as soon as the
board of public lands and buildings Is
ready to undertake the work for which
the money has been sgt aside.
The appropriation Is to bo used In
repairing the west wing of the old hos
pital building , the walls of which were
left standing and In good condition by
the flro that destroyed the balance of
the Institution , part of It will ho used
for repairing the boilers and machin
ery In the engine house and some of
the cash will bo available for use In
placing the grounds of the hospital In
shape. This will make the silo on
the hill northeast of the city a scene
of industrial activity during the com
ing season , and a good force of men
will undoubtedly find employment
there during the summer.
In addition to this It is expected
that the general appropriation mea
sure will carry a liberal sum for fur
nishing the interior of the now cot
tages and administration building.
This money will bo appropriated be
fore the adjournment of the legisla
ture , which will take place today or
tomorrow , the members of that body
having stretched out Thursday mornIng -
Ing to cover the time that may bo
necessary to finish up the business by
stopping the clock and keeping it at
Thursday noon oven though the time
elsewhere may be Friday or Saturday
night.
The new buildings will be all fin
ished and ready for occupancy this
week and the board of public lands
and buildings is expected to bo up
next week to inspect and accept them.
Immediately afterward the hospital
will be open to patients and they will
be brought up from Lincoln to make
this their future home. The patients
who have lived In north Nebraska
will be given preference , but some
from the south Platte country may be
received in the event that the hospi
tals at Lincoln and Hastings become
overcrowded.
The Norfolk Commercial club
through its committees has done good
work In advancing the appropriation
measure through the legislature and
they are deserving of much credit
J
from the people of Norfolk and north
, Nebraska. W. M. Robertson , presi
dent of the club and chairman of tlu >
committee , has been especially atten
tive to this matter and has given
much time to seeing that it was prop
erly received by the legislature.
Credit In the Interest of the Norfolk
hospital Is duo to Senator Williams of
Wayne and Representative Richard
son of this county who made It a spe
cial order of business to see that the.
bill was properly considered by their
fellows.

the dust on Norfolk r.treiits and

"The roads leading Into Norfolk
from the country districts , " said n
Norfolk business man today , who naa
occasion to drive all over Madison and
Plerco counties every week , "should
bo placed In bettor condition If this
town Is to hold Its trade. Hvory llttlo
town around Norfolk keeps the roads
leading Into It for mlloH no well condi
tioned that It Is easy for the farmers
to get In. Out of Norfolk the roads
are bad. It would be a good Invest-
incut and the commercial club should
look Into the matter. "
Three babies went from Norfolk to
the Child Saving Institute at Omaha
yesterday. The 7-months-old baby of
Mrs. Helen Peterson was sent to the

er may want It back. She sent It because -

ceive bettor care there than In Nor
folk , where she has no homo of her
own. Mrs. cl'torson Is a widow , her
husband having died before her baby's
birth. The other two children were
from the Larson family , who live on
a ranch near the sugar factory. They
were a boy of ono year and a llttlo
girl of two years. These children were
given to the homo for good , and new
homes will be found for them. Ina
bility to support them Is given as the
reason for giving the children away.

spectacular of exhibitions , in which
the falling of big Lou Yerger was an
especial feature , the game closed with
the Oxnards victorious by the narrow
margin of 1C to 14. A number of long
hits were made ; the twlrlers threw
first class curves and the rooting was
something superb. The Oxnard team
were : Wlnterstien , Doggett , Hash ,
Day , Stein , Shnfer , Yergor , Woersch ,
Zaltman. The Pacific team were :
Hawley , Spraggens. Levlgger , Lnskcr ,

Final Runaway.
In its second wild runaway of today
and the fourth within a llttlo more
than a week , the team drawing a de
livery wagon for the R. E. Thlem meat
market this morning succeeded In'ut
terly demolishing the vehicle , sprink
ling shreds of the canopy top and the
sides all along Norfolk avenue. Meat ,
too , was distributed generously In the
alloy , without regard to trust rates.
The team started on the last dash
from the rear of the meat market ,
coursing by way of Fourth street Into
Norfolk avenue where , swinging In
and out among a throng of people and
teams , the horses had a frantic race as
far as the railroad tracks at Sixth
street where a freight train Interfered
and stopped the procession. Another
team on Fourth street became so
frightened that a runaway almost oc
curred there. The first of the two
frights for these horses today occurred
an hour earlier.

It is Hoped to Get Through Today , butte
to do It the Hands of Time Had to
be Halted Yesterday at Noon to Fool
the Law.
Lincoln , March til. 'Time Is no

concerned. Twelve o'clock , noon ,
Thursday , March 30 , really rolled
around , and , pursuant to Joint resolu

took a recess , ostensibly of two min
utes , to reconvene at 2 p. m. The
hands of the big clock were stopped
on the twelve mark and for the bal
ance of tlmo the session continues it

ally planned , Dr. R. 0. Floyd of Bu-
roka Springs , Ark. , left last evening ,
with his bride for California , where he
expects to remain two days Instead of
ten. This upsetting of Dr. Floyd's
plans IR due entirely to the delights
of Colorado's winter climate.

full realization of the possibilities of
Colorado as a winter resort , " declared
the doctor , who is not only president
of the commercial club of Bureka

down the aisle , roundly cursing differ
ent passengers with whom he stopped
to talk. i
At West Point the man was put off

a man who was asleep.
