NEW EXCUSES ARE DISHED UP The Lincoln Atmosphere IB Saturated With Rumors About the Hospital Here Norfolk Has a Right to be Shown up In True Light. IKiow Kriilny'n Dully. ) In response to the ilontnitil ninilo by Dr Aldon. superintendent of ttiuHlutu hospital for the liimino In Norfolk , for an Investigation Into Iho affairs of the liOHpltnl IHMP. there have boon made two illiunotrli'iilly opposite as sertions within two days' tlmo. Anil the tunglo over the hospital matter has thickened. In ThurHilay's State Jonrnnl Oov- ornor MloUoy aniionacoil that ho hntl removed the two physicians at the Norfolk hospital an a result ot "con stantly growing friction bolwoon Su perintendent Altlon and hlB nRHlHtnnt. " In that annonnnoinont the following Htatomonl IB iniulu : "It appears that no complaint ex ists as to the treatment of patlontH nt Norfolk and the governor bollovoH that they hnvo boon given good care , but the social relations hotweon the superintendent and his assistant have become Htralnod BO that they are barely - ly on speaking torniR , which necessar- lly does not result In the good of the liiHtltutlon. " Or. Alden declared , when this an nouncement was made , Unit ho , aa the olllclal bond at the hospital and nn a cltl/.en , had a rljiht to fairness In the matter aa well ns any other cltl/.en would have , and that ho demanded an investigation , upon the result ot which ho would rest his caBO. Norfolk had a right to an lnveHtliatlon , support ing Dr. Alden'fl demand , because the oxenso of "personal friction" wan such n lllniHy ono that' It wan eminently unfair and very apparently employed nioroly aa a pretext to got the oIllclalH out and to allow Lincoln politicians to substitute their own sot of olllcers , bringing the Norfolk hoapltal under the direct rule of oIllclalB In the Lin coln asylum. And so Norfolk did de mand an Investigation , and Norfolk dtMimnded that , If merely n personal friction existed , Governor Mlckoy al low the present Incumbents to remain and not to mar their whole reputa tions merely because bo tooloa notion and with their personal disagree ments as the reason given to the pub lic And now from Lincoln has come a statement exactly opposite to what was said In the first announcement , and branding either one or the other of the stories untrue. Which ono of those- stories Is true and which false , must bo left to the public's Judgment until ono or the other Is proven In the Investigation that Dr. Alden has demanded. Here Is n New Yarn. For hero is what Is given to the public through last night's Lincoln Evening News : "Krom the Investigations made by the governor , ho became convinced that the charges of cruelty that had been made by the asylum farmer , Mr. "Wolf , wcro only too true. Ono of the favorite forms of punishment for the unruly patients was to wrap a towel around the neck of the offender and drag him around the tloor. The two attendants who wore accused of cruel ty , Instead of being discharged , wcro promoted. " And then the story goes on to say that ono of the things the governor found was that whisky had been smug gled Into the hospital by bottles and to claim that during cold weather the engineer , who In accused of having gotten the liquor and who Is a brother of Mrs. Alden , neglected the heat and allowed the patients to suffer with the cold. cold.All All of this Is denied by Dr. Alden , ns a method to square the beheading with the public and to turn the eyes of the state oft the political trickery that was at the bottom of It In order to make places for Intimate friends of olllclals at the Lincoln asylum. Why Is the Story Late ? And the question that has arisen In Norfolk now Is , "If this were true , \ , nnd if the governor knew It were true at the tlmo ho looked Into the affairs hero , why did he deliberately stand up and declare that all cause of trou bio had been removed and that things were running smoothly ? " And further thor , "Why , If this were true , did he dare tell his constituents In the state of Nebraska only this week that "there Is no complaint as to treat ment of patients In the hospital at Norfolk and the sole cause for re moval Is the fact that the doctors can not agree ? " Norfolk people want to know which of the yarns Is true and which ono has been knitted up. Norfolk people want to know , If ho knew there was cruelty of this sort In the hospital , how the governor could have the nerve to tell them only Wednesday morning of this week , that affairs in the Institution were going on smoothly and that the relatives had no cause for worry ? Nebraska people want to know which plpo dream they are to believe. The relatives whose kind are being cared for out hero in this asylum want to know whether they were deceived when told that the helpless creatures were being cared for all right , or whether they are now deceived in or der to cover up this little game of pel- lies in ivmuUiw thf olllrlnls lure , to iimimmiKlati' pi-rumml friends. InveitlQ.itlon Demanded. The Mate IH baching up Dr. Alden in hl demand for nn InvcutlKatloii. Not all of the state dt > miinds It for hln Rake , but the whole state wanlR to . If the olll- Kiiott what I * going on. clalR hero have been mlHropro ented , ilu-y have a right. It IH apparent , loan lim'fltlKiitlon. The Mncoln News HII.VH editorially : It deed not Room poHHllilo that It wan beeaimo their wives would not bo civil to oarh other that ( Inventor Mickey asked for the resignations of the superintendent of the Norfolk asy lum and his assistant , If It bo true , " of the favorite a * stated , that "ono forms of punishment for unruly pa tients was to wrap a towel around the nock of the offender and drag him around the lloor. " If It ho true that such a form of punishment was ever practiced In a single Instance at Norfolk , and knowl edge of the fact ever reached Govern or Mlckoy , that Is the real reason for the change ordered In the manage ment rather than any lack of conge- nlallty between the families of the two oIllclalH Indicated. If It bo true that Dr. Aldon's wife could not got along In n neighborly way with Dr. Nicholson's wife , or vlco versa , that fact may serve very well removal. It as a pretext for their would tend to quiet the fears and the Indignation of people who have rela tives In the Institution , which Is a Justifiable motive. But as long as the managiMiient under which such treat ment of the state's unfortunates Is report ud to have prevailed has been summarily removed , a full Investiga tion should bo made and all the facts made known. H should bo made plain that no man placed In charge of such a Nebraska Institution can practice , or permit by his subordinates the practice of such cruelties , or any other , can , by being slid quietly out of place , escape popu lar condemnation. The public should bo taught to have more confidence In Its Institutions , and this can only bo taught by making It manifest that when cruelties are resorted to they are sure to ho found out and morel- k'Rsly exposed. Beside this Intimation of cruelty the Inability of the families of the olll clals to live In social accord , the al lowance of politicians to iiamo em ployes without regard to Illness and oven the surreptitious smuggling of whisky by the bottle into the build ings for the debauching of trusted omployoa , are Insignificant Incidents Indeed.

Mr. Bucholz and Frank Campbell Made a Fine Catch at Atkinson. The Pullman sleeper which came In from the west at noon today , and ( which proceeded on to Chicago , was transformed into a fish car between Atkinson and Omaha by virtue of a big pall filled with more than 100 hand some brook trout that had been hooked from Atkinson creek by Frank Campbell and W. II. Bucholz , who had been out in that vicinity for a couple of days. At the train here Mr. Bucholz was mot by Mrs. Bucholz and Mr. Rnlnbolt , who received a good supply of the fish. Both men proceeded on to Omaha , NORTHFORK RIVER IN NORFOLK RECEIVED FRESH SUPPLY. FISH CAR IN THIS SECTION Large Supply of Pike and a Few Channel - nel Catfish Were Put Into Waters of River North of City This Afternoon - noon Other Towns to Benefit. Twenty-five thousand tiny pike and 150 pretty good sized little channel catfish were this afternoon dumped Into the Northfork river north of Nor folk , that they may grow Into bigger pike and bigger catfish and later bite with their bigger months upon hooks cast into the cool waters of the stream by fishermen hereabout. The new fin ny Inhabitants arrived on the noon train from the east , In their own spe cial car. It was the state fish car , In charge of Fish Commissioner O'Brien , and It was met at the Junction here by L. Sessions , Hurt Mapes and John Krantz , who received the fish and drove north of town to put them Into the river. Part of the fish were placed In the Northfork at the sugar factory bridge and part of them nt the old camp meeting grounds. On the train Mr. O'Brien had twen ty-two CO-gallon cans filled with water and fish. Among the varieties of fish were trout , catfish , bull heads and pike. From Norfolk the car wont on west to Long Pine , planning to stop at Clearwater , Ewlng , O'Neill , Atkin son , Bassett and Long Pine. An ex press shipment will bo sent to Chad- ran tonight from Long Pine. When the car returns , Mr. O'Brien will take trout up to Pierce and Plalnvlow. Many trout will be taken off at Long Pine , Atkinson , O'Neill and other points in that vicinity. Bull heads will bo taken off at Atkinson and O'Neill. F. J. Halo and John Brady at Atkinson want the bull heads. Mr. O'Brien said that a fish run is being constructed at Pierce , and ho Intends to go up there In about two weeks to help construct it. The fish 'car got a hot box east of Norfolk and made the train more than a half hour late Into this city. JUNCTION CURFEW BELL. Up Town Fire Bell Can Not be Heard. Church Bell Answers Purpose. The curfew bell is now ringing nt the Junction every night a separate curfew of the Junction's own. It Is the bell In the Second Congregational church and It peals out to Young America because Officer Livingstone pulls the bell rope. The people of the church made the proposition that they would allow their bell to be used If the policeman would ring It , and now It rings for fair and all of the boys are said to scamper at its tolling. Ofilcer Livingstone thinks that the fire alarm ought to be blown at 9 o'clock at night as that would give the curfew signal all over town. The fire bell up tow'n can not be heard at the Junction. MARRIAGE REFORM IN FRANCE. Parliament Will be Asked to Permit Men of Twenty-one and Girls of Eighteen to Marry. If success does not attend the move ment that Is now on foot to reform the French marriage law , It will not , at any rate , be because men and wo men of position and Influence have failed to identify themselves with it , says a Paris report. The idea , of course , is to get rid of all the restric tion and red-tapelsm that now make the business of getting married in France a matter of such unconscion able tlmo and trouble , as well as to put both parties in the transaction on an equal footing in. the eyes of the law , and with the object of bringing the whole matter definitely before the chamber of deputies , a committee has recently been formed In Paris that is eminently representative of both the intellect and the culture of France. Chief of the members of this com mittee is , perhaps , President Sere de Revleres , who is supreme judge of the French correctional court , and one of the leading legal authorities in the republic. The moving spirit of the reform movement is , however , Maitre Henri Coulon , the distinguished advocate and jurist , who for the last twenty-five years has been directing practically all his efforts toward effecting drastic changes In the laws which at present regulate the marriage "contract" in the republic. Quito a number of au thors and feminists of real distinction are also members of the committee. It Is the committee's Intention to bring a bill drafted by Maitre Cou lon before the French chamber ol deputies Immediately after the com ing elections or early In June next. This bill will aim first at enabling young men and women who have at tained the age of 21 and IS respective ly to marry without the consent of their parents , and at abolishing the exasperating and undignified systen of officialdom which at present makes marriage so severe a trial. According to the present law , o course , men under 25 and girls undo 21 cannot marry without the paterna consent with the result , as everyone knows , that practically every girl 1 married for her "dot , " that the detail of the "courtship" are bossed by the relatives of both , and love generallj put out of the -question altogether Moreover , in France , declarations ant Innumerable unnecessary documents have to be drawn up and signed , and oven an elderly fiance of CO has to gain the consent of the head of his 'amlly before ho Is able to appear at ho malrlo of his neighborhood with Is bride. -J ' Here , for example , Is a list of the ocuments which two young people mat produce before they marry. The oung man : First Ills birth certificate. Second The consent of his father. Third The consent of his mother. Fourth His military certificate. Fifth A certificate of banns with he name of the place of publication. Sixth The names of the places vhere his and her parents live. The girl must bring ( supposing she s an orphan ) : First Her birth certificate. Second A death certificate of her ather. Thlrd-A death certificate of her lother. Fourth A certificate of residence In 'arls. Fifth The consent of her grand- nother. Is It any wonder that , as the mar- lago reform committee points out , the aw causes immorality In Franco ? 'hero Is a growing tendency of men ud women , who have no families , to Ivo together without the formality of ho wedding ceremony , rather than go o the enormous trouble of collecting 11 the various documents which are ow necessary to satisfy otllclaldom. It Is hoped to amend the present narrlage law In many other respects o equalize punishment for adultery , or Instance , and to make wives the ole mistresses of their own proper * les ; but these and other technical joints need not be gone Into. Suffice t to say that It Is practically certain , rom a preliminary canvass of the hamher of deputies , that the pro- > osed bill for amending the marriage ode will pass that body , and that its onsequences are likely to be so far- caching that It would be next to 1m- josslble to forecast them. And , after that event , Maltre Henri Coulon , the head of the reform move- nent , will find his occupation , like that of Othella , gone ; for , as has been said , or something like twenty-five years , jractlcnlly all this distinguished ad- ocate's tlmo and energy have been given to active propaganda against he existing system of marriage in rance. Aged 51 , Maltre Coulon was ) orn In Paris and educated at the Ly- cee Condorcet and at Salnte Barbe. \dmltted to the Paris bar , success was ils from the beginning and in a sur- irisingly short time he became ono of the most occupied advocates at the mlals do justice and one of the best- mown and eloquent followers of the aw in France. Incidentally , he is , jerhaps , the greatest French authority on the law of divorce as well the au- nor of more than a score of works on that and kindred subjects , notably 'La Reforme dn Marlage. " Liberty , too , Is one of his favorite subjects , his published works includ- ng "La Llberte Individuelle , " "La Alberto do la Prcsse" and " Llberte lo Tester. " In fact , it has been said ) f Maitre Coulon that his creed is em- jodietl in Napoleon's dying words to ils son : "This only remains , to gain n the direction of liberty what has been gained in that of equality.
