GOVERNOR MICKEY MAKES A SHREWD DEMAND. WANTS DOCTORS TO BREAK LAW State Executive Asks That Hospital Officials Both Leave Hospital Mon day and Appear In Lincoln , When Law Forbids Both Leaving at Once. Dr Nicholson. nsHlstnut to the su- peilntcndent nl the Norfolk hospltnl for the Insane , nnd C. 13. Ilurnhnm , Hurt Mnpes. W. M. Robertson and M. 1) Tyler , all representing Dr. Alden , the superintendent , left Norfolk this morning for Lincoln In response to the call of Governor Mickey for nn Invest igation In his olllce tonight of the Nor folk liiBiuio hnspltnl affair. Objection will bo mined to holding the Investigation at Lincoln , an Nor folk , it Is claimed , Is the place for siicb action. Dr. Aldcn did not leave for the rea son that the law provides that the In stitution shnll not ho loft by both the superintendent nnd nsslstnnt at the same time. Governor Mickey hns nnnouucod thnt he will hold an Investigation Into the affairs of the state Insnno hospltnl here , ns demanded by Dr. Aldon. He says that It will ho held In the exec utive chamber of the state house at Lincoln Monday evening , nnd will be public , lie says that he has sent let ters to Dr. Alden and Dr. Nicholson , preferring rhnrges ngalnst them , and that he will not mnke publlo these charges until Monday night. Another Political Trick ? When Informed that the governor had announced that an Investigation will he held In the stnte house Mon day night , Dr. Aldcn , superintendent , said' "Tudor the laws of Nebraska , It would be a violation for both the su perintendent nnd the assistant to leave the hospital at the same time. Gov ernor Mickey , therefore , Is requesting that wo brcnk the laws of the state by coming to Lincoln Monday even ing for an investigation , and leaving the hospital , for which I am still re sponsible , without nny head. No doubt the governor would bo willing to semi somebody to take our places , and then , hnvlng us out. It would be the end , as his wish would have been accom plished In that way. I shall not leave the hospital alone on any such mis sion , for that would bo merely playing Into the bands of those who am trying to forceus out. My residence Is hero and since It Is tlitf Norfolk , hospital that Is to bo Investigated , the proper way. It seems to mo , would ho foi the governor to hold that Investigation ' In Norfolk. " It will be remembered thnt the time' ' the hospital was Investigated hero some years ago. the governor of the state came to Norfolk. Concerning the mntter , the State Journal says ; Governor Mickey yes- terdny received n letter from Dr. Al den of the Norfolk Insane asylum , and one also f-om Dr. Nicholson of the same Institution. Dr. Alden declines to resign from the hospital without nn investigation , and Dr. Nicholson leaves his future course of procedure in doubt. Ho Is rather Inclined to the belief that ho has done nothing that calls for bis resignation or dismissal. Acting upon the communications at once. Governor Mickey gave to Deputy Attorney General Thompson all the evidence he hns on hand concerning the conduct of the Norfolk Institution , with the result thnt chnrgcs were for- mulnted against the two physlclnns , nnd they will have an opportunity to answer them on Monday evening of next week. What the charges contain neither Governor Mickey or Mr. Thompson would divulge , preferring thnt they should bo sent direct to the accused physlclnns. The governor has not changed his mind since cull ing for the resignations , though ho will accord the doctors the public In vestigation that they seek. FAMILIES SHOULD LIVE OUTSIDE State Institutions Always Suffer When Families Live In Them. Concerning the hospital affair here , the Nebraska Politician says , editori ally : \ It Is well nigh impossible for the families of the olllcials to dwell togeth er In harmony the entire length of their terms. When trouble does start between the families the heads soon are drawn into it , whether willingly or not Rumors of trouble and quarrel ing at the institutions at once arouse the fears of relatives of inmates that they are not being treated as well as they should be , although those fears usually are groundless. During the fusion regime state Institutions were used to domicile the families of offi cials and employes. During the cam paigns shrewd political managers of the opposition saw to It that strife was engendered between the women and soon several very healthy scraps were in progress. The ofllclals eventually were drawn into them and scandals at several of the institutions resulted. These had the effect of creating a strong sentiment for the retirement of an administration which apparently could not properly care for the state's charges and the republicans gained some excellent campaign thunder. When the republicans came Into pow er the old system was continued for a time and soon trouble onsucd. Then the families of subordinate otllclals and employes were banished from sev eral of the institutions and harmony restored. There should be an unalter- TIIH NOKKOMv NKWS : FRIDAY , MAY 1H , 1'JOG. ililo rule Hint Uio families of liiBtltu- Ion olllelnln and employes iniiHt reside \\vny fnun the liiHtltutlonu.

In nnothor nttnclc of his nllment fiomo dnys hit or the unruly one died , but his dcnth could not be attributed to the trentinent the Insnno mnn hnd received from his keepers. "My Investigation bus disclosed , " said the governor , "Mint HOIIIO of the iillondiints were not competent to cnro for Insane patients , but I do not think that nny of thoin hnvo boon guilty of wanton cruelly. The overcrowded con dition of the Institution has hnd much to do with the unpelasaiitncss. Some time ngo I advised the otllclals to Tor- no ! their little differences and succeed ed In restoring a mensuro of harmony. Since then , however , the quarreling has been resumed and I deemed It In the hOHt Interest of the asylum to re move them both. " It Is probable that n number of the employes and assistants nt the Institu tion niso will ho discharged. Several months ago the governor advised that severnl of the employes bo discharged , one being n brother of the wlfo of Su perintendent Altlen. The suggestion , however , was not heeded. The gov ernor will demand of bis now appointees - ees that these employes bo at once removed. A strong effort wns made by friends of tlio two olllclals to prevent their removal ami II was suggested to the governor that they bo transferred to other Institutions. Of this suggestion , however , the governor did not ap prove , believing that It Is to the best Interests of the administration to pre vent n re occurrence of trouble. Superintendent Aldcn and Dr. Nich olson are said ( o have announced that their resignations will not bo forth coming without an Investigation of the charges against them and both de sire an opportunity to vindicate them selves The charge that they are not on speaking terms both deny , flov- ernor Mickey , however , has conducted an extensive quiet Investigation and wilt Insist on the resignations being forwarded to him. PACIFIC TAKES FIRST CONTEST OF THE SEASON.

The game was won by the Pacitlc pee pie , with fourteen chalk-murks In their favor as against a half dozen for the Oxnards. There were snld to bo 100 errors credited up to the victors and 150 for the losers. The game was wit nessed by a good sized crowd of root ers , there being a number of ladles present , nnd Interest wns held high until the last half of the ninth.

ARE NOT HEADED FOR NORFOLK It IB Believed by Persons Who Have Watched the Surveyors Near Til- den , That Their Destination Is O'Neill and the Rosebud Country. llurllngton rnllroad surveyors have within the pnst few dnys been workIng - Ing westwnrd nt n line about fifteen miles Houlh of Tllden , Nob. The sup position from this fnct Is that the rail road Is planning to build to O'Neill from Nlckerson , pcrhnps going be tween the Northwestern main line and Its Albion branch , and practically par alleling the Northwestcrn's tracks Into northwest Nebraska. The belief Is strengthened by the fact that nurllngton mon were some time ngo nt Unite , the county sent of Itoyd county which has so long wanted a railroad , talking with the business men of that hustling city In regard to stringing a line from O'Neill to Dutto nnd thence Into the Hosobud reserva tion. tion.Tho nurllngton surveyors started out of Nlckerson some weeks ago , bended for the northwest , and their arrival south of Tllden shows thnt the general direction was not mistaken by those who ventured conjectures on the destination. It Is now apparent thnt the line will be built before n great while. It Is further apparent that the nurllngton road is determined to parallel the Northwcstern's tracks throughout tlio west , ns It did from Slonx City to Lincoln In tlio Ashland extension that was recently built. Hy now building from Nlckerson to O'Neill and then Into the Rosebud by way of Uutte , the nurllngton would drain a largo territory up In the north west , and much of the grain from thnt section would find Us way to Minneap olis Instead of Omaha and Chicago. This road Is the one upon which Norfolk has for years hnd Its eye , and men who nro concerned with the wel- fnro of the city hnvo expressed the opinion that some notion ought to betaken taken by the Commercial club toward trying at least to induce the Burling ton to build by way of Norfolk. BEET RAISERS ARE EXCITED. Think They Have Been Fooled by Sugar Company. North Platte , Neb. , May 12. News was received here of the fact that the Standard licet Sugar company has ap plied for the appointment of a receiv er and thnt one had boon appointed. This wns no surprise for the credit ors and others interested hero , but was another blow to a great industry of this countrty. About $00,000 worth of claims against the Standard Hoot Sugar company , for sugar boots deliv ered to it , exist In this , Lincoln coun ty , and the growers In most Instances have either expended Inrgo amounts on these crops or have obligated them selves for considerable amounts to pay the heavy costs of raising the beets. Considerable animosity exists against the Standard Heet Sugar company for the delay In payment and the failure to pay at times promised , and now the turn which the nffnlr takes. The pco- plo here believe that the appointment of a receiver wns not necessary. The fact is the failure to pay Is nl- most the undoing of ninny a smnll fanner , and thnt intense bitterness to ward the Standard Boot Sugar com pany , which perpetrated the deal upon them , oxlstsi They nllcgo thnt the company has played false nil the way through , having written n letter some weeks ngo thnt payment would be mnde nt n time in the then nenr fu ture , nnd , when it saw that the cred itors were becoming restless , sending telegrams and letters to the effect that at a certain time the money would bo forthcoming. The statement of Hey wnrd G. Leavltt , therefore , thnt the company would pay 100 cents on the $1 of its indebtedness does not receive much credence. It has been a very unfortunate blow to the beet industry In the fertile valleys of the Plntte riv ers. " 666. " Significance of the Figures Found on Man's Dead Brain.

MAN ABOVE HER WAS KILLED With the Ends of Her Pullman Sealed , She Was Rescued Through a Win dow Three Chinamen Killed Out right , Many Injured , Locked In Car. With the man In the berth above ler killed outright , and several China men In the car ahead hurled to their loath , Miss Helen Dlckover of this city , who has Just returned from a trip to California and who was res cued from the wrecked Pullman that she occupied by being carried out through a window , hns como back to her homo here In n stnto of almost complete nervous collnpso and with every particle of pleasant memory that she had gained on the trip out , stolen from her by her terrible experi ence In a wreck between Santa Bar bara and San Francisco on a section of the Southern Pacific overland lim ited train which was demolished by n spreading rail. The train In which Miss Dlckover wns riding , was bounding nlong the rails at a rnto of fifty miles nn hour. Suddenly there wns a crash , and the Pullman that carried the Norfolk young woman was hurled from its roadbed and thrown into the fence along the right of way. It was split In two , with both ends sealed. The car just ahead was filled with forty Chinamen who were being del - l > ortcd. As prisoners , they were locked in the car and when the train went into the spreading rail , this car of Chinese was hurled upward and leaped over the coach ahead of it , lighting Inverted and with three of the yellow men dead and most of them Injured. Miss Dlckover was helped from Cal ifornia to Norfolk by ladles on the train. She is in severe condition with her nerves and Is unable to discuss her experience. After having left the wrecked train , she came through the stricken city of San Francisco. Where , a week before , she had enjoyed n visit with friends , she found on her return nothing but desolation nnd distress. Her friends were miles out in the country , campIng - Ing In tents. It seems to her now as though all of California had been ruined. DEATH OF GEO. COREVON. Old-Time Resident of Norfolk Stricken at Everett , Wash. Under date of May 10 , Geo. A.
