Lincoln Jnuriinl : The Chicago Trl-
liuno of Sunday announces that Dr ,
James L. Greene of the Lincoln hos-
pltnl for tlio liiHano him been appointed
superintendent of tlio Institution at
KnnUnUeo , Illinois. It IB presumed
that the doctor will accept for the po
Bltlon offered him carrloB with It n
much larKor salary than the state
of Nebraska pay for llko service ,
Dr. Oroeno has long beim recognized
ns an authority on mental distempers ,

tribute to his ability In the difficult

Civil Service * fop Institutions ,
ttUfieci Express : fusion
ari ? gleefully commenting on the
and recriminations that arc
being handled about the Norfolk asy
lum , should not l , i of short memory.
When the late lamented fusion admin
istration was In full bloom there wore
some doings around a state Institution
located In Gage county which wore a
bad advertisement for the state , and
made people very tired. Generally
these Investigations are caused by n
desire from somewhere to Ret posses
sion of public plnow bold by somebody -
body else. This was pretty much the
case In the Beatrice fuss , and Is piGb-
nhly behind the matter at Norfolk.
An Investigation can always show
up brutality In a state Institution.
This Is especially the case when em
ployes are selected because of their
political endorsements rather than for
their Illness to fill the positions. The
ward politician who takes a Job In an
asylum under the Impression that
there will bo nothing to do , Is certain
to arrive at occasions when ho will
lose his temper and use his muscle
on the patients who cause him trouble
and work. When somebody on tbo
outside wants to got control of the In-
shown up to prove that the superinten
dent Is unfit for his position. There
will bo no end to this condition until
state Institutions are absolutely put
under civil service nnd the merit sys

tally destroyed by fire at an early
hour today. It Is believed the fire was
of incendiary origin and there is much
feeling abroad as a result. Further
trouble is anticipated by some. The
fire started in the Shurtz store.
The flre was discovered at 2 o'clock
this morning and alarms were at once
turned in , the citizens rospondins
quickly. But the flames had made
such headway that to get the flre un
der control was Impossible. The
American Exchange bank adjoining
the Shurtz store on the south , caught
the flames and the two buildings were
soon In ruins.
Moneys nnd Records Secure.
Most of the fixtures and records of
the bank were carried out and saved ,
but the loss on the buildings and mer
chandise stock is complete. The val
uable records and moneys were locked
In the fire proof safe of the bank , and
are secure. Loss on the buildings and
stock is estimated at $10,000 , partially
coTored by Insurance.
Ladles Help Fight Flames.
Much credit is given the ladles of
the city , who accomplished as much ,
toward gutting the flames under control - .
trol as did the men.
One Individual , after the flro was
under control , cast several slighting ;
remarks about their work but two of
the moro active ladles , after serving
him with three or four palls of cool
spring water , soon had him hushed.
Feeling still runs high over th
cau&o of the flro.
