the packers can not disprove the

Fresh Paint , New Spittoons.
"Everywhere about the packing

DR. NICHOLSON WRITES ANOTH
ER LETTER TO GOVERNOR.
A NEW SENSATION PROMISED
C. A. Cronk , One of the Attendants
Who Has Been Dismissed , Says
Proaser Death May Go Into Courts.
Governor Displeased at Discharge.
[ From Saturday's Dally. )
Three now Incidents have devel
oped In the Norfolk Insane hospital
matter as sequels to the discharge of
Attendants Biggs and Cronk by Dr. Al
den , the superintendent. Dr. Nichol
son , the assistant superintendent , has
written another letter , Governor Mick
ey has expressed his disapproval of
the dismissal of the two attendants ,
and Mr. Cronk has promised a now
sensation in connection with the Presser -
ser death.
Nicholson's Latest Letter.
Dr. Nicholson's latest letter Is re
ferred to by the Omaha Bee's Lin
coln correspondent as follows :
The letter from Dr. Nicholson was
received by Governor Mickey Friday
afternoon and It gave him the first In
formation he had that Dr. Alden had
begun to exorcise his authority as
head of the Institution.
In the letter Dr. Nicholson assorted
Biggs and Cronk were two of the most
faithful employes of the institution
and had been discharged merely on
account of their testimony in the re
cent Investigation of the conduct of
Dr. Alden and Dr. Nicholson.
Governor is Indignant.
The Lincoln report to the Bc con
tinues :
Governor Mickey Is Indignant at the
action of Superintendent Alden In die-
charging any of the employes at this
time , but the only comment he made
upon reading the letter wns :
"Now , what do you think of that ?
Isn't that n pretty muss ? Discharg
ing employes because they told the
truth urton the witness stand ! "
The governor has not yet been hand
ed a copy of the report of the board's
examination of the Institution and un
til ho gets the copy ho will not say
what ho will do In the matter. It Is
reasonable to suppose , however , the
governor will stick by his demand for
the resignation of the two offenders
nnd It may bo possible when he gets
ready to have them move out he will
move them unless ho Is hindered by
the courts.
Promises New Sensation.
A dispatch under a Norfolk dateline
to the Omaha World-Herald says that
former Attendant Cronk , who has been
dismissed from the hospital by Dr.
Alden , threatens to carry the matter
of Patient Prosser's death Into the
courts nnd thnt sensational develop
ments as yet unknown , may bo
brought out In case he docs this.

Another company of soldiers from
Fort Nlobrara passed through Nor

HERMAN WINTER'S SPEECH.
Multitude at Hadar Were Delighted
With His Address.
Ono of the prlnclpnl features of the
day nt Hndnr wns the flno speech of
Herman Winter. This was the first
effort of Mr. Winter's life In the pub
lic-address business , and the people
nt Hndnr were delighted with It. The
translation of bis speech from Germnn
Into English Is ns follows :
In all ngos the men who hnvo done
things , who have built cities or writ
ten books or made pictures or won
battles have had monuments built to
lot the world know after they were
dead what they bad done. Ono man
In the great city of London , who gave
all his life to build the biggest church
in all the British empire has his grave
In the churchyard of the church ho
built n hundred years ngo and his mon
ument Is a little tnblet thnt hns written -
ton upon It In Latin the words , "If you
nro socking his monument , look around
you. " That man's monument was the
church ho had built. Today we have
come together to speak of the life
work of these men who first settled
these parlrles around here. Many of
them have departed this life nnd have
gone to their reward. Where Is their
monument ? If you are seeking It look
around you. Look at these fertile
farms , these homes and orchards and
the herds of cattle feeding In the pas
tures. That is their monument. Sol
diers have received fame by the men
they killed In battle , other men have
had monuments built because they
discovered n new star or a new kind
of bird or beast , but these men have
built an empire and made homes for a
multitude to live and not to die upon
some battlefield. Homes and not bat
tles are what makes a nation great
and when these men came to Nebras
ka there were no homes on these
prairies. The Indians roamed over It
by day nnd the wolves howled at
night , there were hot winds and
grasshoppers to contend with. There
were no roads nor mills to grind
wheat Lumber and groceries had to
be hauled long distances over a coun
try without roads and there was no
market for what little wo had to sell.
The malls were not carried to our
doors then as they are now and If we
took sick or wanted an errand from
town we couldn't step to the tele
phone as we can today. The men
who settled these prairies were brave
men. Many of them had been In the
war between the north and the south
and some of them had been In the
war In the Fatherland. What a class
of strong and brave men these were
who came out west to overcome the
wilderness and make It blossom like
the rose. If you are looking for a
monument for those of them who are
dead or for the ones living , If you
want to learn who these men were or
what they did to deserve praise , look
around you. There In the valley , on
the hillsides , everywhere are the
homes they built out of what was a
desert and which Is today the choicest
spot In the nation. This , my friends ,
Is their monument and it is one that
will endure as long as the world will
stand.
Another Picnic at Hadar.
The German school people of Hadar
will hold another picnic at that place
next Sunday.
A FREAK ANIMAL.
In/In Barnes and Lawrence Hoffpinn
Catch Queer One.
Irvln Barnes and Lawrence Hoff
man caught a freak animal yesterday
south of town. The little animal is
about nine Inches long and has a short
tail. Its color is a light brown , has
long , curved claws. The ears are like
little holes bored Into the top of Its
head and Its front paws are almost
the shape of a human hand. The lit
tle fellow Is very fierce and bit the
boys badly about the shins and when
caught clawed large holes In their
hats. When It eats It sits on Its
haunches like a rabbit and takes its
food in Its front paws and eats llko
a squirrel. The boys think that It
must bo some species of gopher but
can't find anybody who hns ever seen
ono In this part of the country before.
BELIEVE BOY IS INSANE.
Charles Nelson , Aged Sixteen , Has
Been Acting Queerly Here.
Charles Nelson , a 10-year-old boy
who gives Columbus as his home , and
who has been acting qucerly In Nor
folk for the past week , wns arrested
yesterday and taken down to Madison
by Chief of Police Hay to bo examined
by the county board of insanity on
the charge of Insanity. Nelson has
not been particularly dangerous , but
the authorities believe that bo Is In
sane , nnd ought to bo taken cnro of.
The fnct thnt ono Insnno mnn wns al
lowed to roam nt will until ho suicid
ed last week , has emphasized the dan
ger In allowing persons of this char
acter to bo at largo. Nelson will prob
ably bo placed In the Norfolk Insnno
hospital.

LEFT HIS WATCH.
Stranger , Drunk and Disorderly , As
sessed $2 , Has No Coin.
Oscar Mortis , a stranger In town ,
was arrested on a drunk and disorderly
charge and was fined $2 and costs.
He had no money , but left his watch
with Judge Westervolt as security.
RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Fertile Sections of the Southwest ,
Where Land Sells for $15 and
Rents for $5 Per Acre.
One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas and northern Louis
iana Is the fact that cleared land rents
for $ .5 per acre cash , and can be bought
for $7.50 to $15 per aero. It costs
from $ C to $10 an acre to clear It.
Other improvements necessary are
slight and Inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial , or made. It
produces a bale of cotton per acre ,
worth $15 to ? GO. This accounts for
Its high rental value. Other crops ,
such as corn , small grains , grasses ,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields 4 to G cuttings , a ton
to a cutting , and brings $10 to $16 per
ton.
ton.In
In other sections of these states ,
and In Texas as well , the rolling or
hill-land Is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit farming. Land Is
very cheap , $5 to $10 per acre ; Im
proved farms $10 $15 to $25 per acre.
The new White river country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High ,
rolling , fine water it Is naturally
adapted to stock and fruit raising.
Cnn be bought as low as $3 per acre.
