NEW BUILDING AT THE HOSPITAL
FOR INSANE.
ALL FINISHED BUT PLUMBING
State Board Inspected the Work Yes
terday and Are Very Much Pleased
With It. Best Building on the Hos
pital Grounds.
[ From Wednesday's Daily. )
The new cottage at the jNortoik hos
pital for insane lias been completed ,
except plumbing , and accepted by the
state board of public lands and build
ings , three members of which were
in the city yesterday for the purpose
of inspecting the work. The members
here were Commissioner of Public
Lands and Buildings Eaton , Secretary
of State Galuslm and State Treasurer
Morlenscn , and they agreed that the
contractors , Killner & Woorlh of Scrib-
nor , have fulfilled their agreements
fully and satisfactorily. Members of
the board expressed themselves very
much pleased with the new cottage ,
which they say is the best building
on the grounds. The price at which
the contract was awarded to Killner
& Woerth was $19,549.05 , and remark
able as It may seem there were but
$ M.C5 worth of extras claimed. This
is owing to the completeness of the
plans furnished by J. C. Stilt , the
architect , whose work received as
much praise from the board as did
that of the contractors.
The electric wiring of the building
was done by E. C. Wescott of Plaits-
mouth , at a cost of $083.70 , and this
is all completed and well done. The
plumbing , which is not yet linished ,
is being done by F. C. Phillips Co. of
Lincoln and will call for an expendi
ture of about $3,000. Until the plumb
ing Is out of the way nothing can be
done toward furnishing the building
and getting it ready for occupancy.
The capacity of Iho olher collages
of ihe hospital Is 150 patients , but 214
are now being taken care of showing
that the room of the now building Is
very badly needed and it will be ready
for occupancy as soon , as possible.
It Is not expected that this can bo
done much before the first of the
year.
The building is now complete ex
cepting in a few details of plumbing
and heating. There are sixty-nine
rooms In the building and it is lliree
stories instead of four , as It was be
fore the lire. There are three wards
1 designed , one on each lloor. Each
ward has Its Individual dining room ,
a butler's pantry and gets Its food sup
ply from a central kitchen in another
part of the grounds.
The main hall and stairways are
finished In oak and the balance of
the building Is finished In yellow pine.
The downstairs hall iloor Is tile and
the rest of them aio hard wood and
waxed. The building is heated by
steam from the main plant , stairways
are twice as wide as in other cottages ,
and lire escapes on the ends offer am
ple protection.
There nro two features unknow.n to
any other state Institution. There Is
an enclosed porch on each lloor , made
In an indenture in the wall , which can
be used all winter by the patients for
cxerclsb and for airing themselves.
This is a strictly original scheme and
was desired by Architect J. C. Stilt
of Norfo1 . , who found the nick in the
building iiul made this good use of U.
Another new feature is a large show
cr hath and needle spray on euel1
, nor. in addition to regular bath and
toilet rooms. The hath rooms are
lloorud and walnseoaled In tile and
are strictly sanitary and up to dale.
The slate hoard was very well satis
fied with the work. The contractors
were Keller & Woerth of Scribner.

Sliiie Journal : One of the attrac

be a baud of twenty Sioux Indians In
full war paint and feathers who will
execute their famous war dances , ac-
oni u.ed will ) the sivago whoops
familiar to our fathers In I lie good old
days when real scalping was common
on the wild frontier. Give tlieso
Indians plenty of ilrewuter and an
exhibition of aboriginal ferocity so
like Ihe old style that you can't tell
the difference , will result.
The ( ' . , St. P. M. & O. passenger
cnmc near claiming another victim at
the Junction depot hist night. As the
passengers from No. 5 were unloading
( and crossing the walk to take coiney-
uices for the city , the M. O. train
pulled along at a high rate of speed
ind had it not been for the presence
) f mind of the watchman and bystand
ers In flagging the train , there would
undoubtedly have been one woman
illled and probably many more killed
ir Injured as there were about twenty-
five people on the track as the train
was brought to a halt not three feet

The prospects for a high school foot

Sam Ersklne , Claude Ogden , Lester
Weaver , Clifford Parish , Harry Fau-
cettc , Lawrence Hoffman , Ross Tln-
dal and N. Wllley. Although nothing

year are : Archie and Harold Gow and
Clarence McFarland. There has been
no definite plans made for orgoni/a-
tlon yet , but the team expects to meet

As n result of the condemnation
proceedings Instituted by the city
council against board sidewalks on
Norfolk avenue between Fourth nnd
Fifth streets , there will soon be noth
ing but cement sidewalks along that
block. Every wooden sidewalk in the
block , on both sides of the street , has
now boon condemned nnd the now
cement-.walks will soon bo placed.
Jack" Welsh 'Is entitled to much of the
credit for this move , ns ho has been
Interested In getting n cement walk
from one end of the block to the other
and through his efforts the sidewalk In
front of his own building on Norfolk
avenue was condemned along with
others. E. B. Kauffman was also In
terested In the movement and helped
push U. The next stop which will betaken
taken along this progressive lliu , it
is said , will bo oho looking to pave
ment of the street.
