DEFENDS INSANITY COMMISSION Dr. Long Says No Evidence Was Pro duced to Show Kelly Not Sane. Madison , Neb. , Jan. 31. Editor News : The more or less bloodcurdling ling tale In today's News touching the alleged Insanity of one James Kelley of your town seems to have for its motive the throwing of mud at the commission of insanity of Madison county. As medical member of the coramls elon I may be allowed to state that this man was released for want of suffi clent evidence to justify holding him or committing him. If the evidence of insanity was to bo had in Norfolk it should have been produced before the commission. The evidence before the board was that this man had lived in Norfolk for three years , that ho was well-behaved , sober and industrious , and that at the boarding house where he had lived all this time he was considered a model boarder ; that on the morning of the day on which the matter for which ho was arrested occurred , he was not feeling well when he went to work ; that he worked several hours and , feelIng - Ing worse , he quit work and went to his boarding house ; that he was seized with a severe chill and was asked to sit by the kitchen stove to get warm that he became delirious , so that il took several men to hold him , that Dr Mackay was called , came and admin istered a hypodermic injection , bar his medicine case broken by the pa tient throwing It , and that the doughty doctor thereupon showered upon the poor delirious patient a lot of his choic est inve'ctlve , presumably in English Gaelic and German , anyway none o ; the -witnesses cared to repeat the Ian guage used. F. A. Long. Battle Creek. Phil Beck went to Michigan Tues day to meet his family , who were vis iting there for some time with rela lives. J. W.

The building Is seated with easy op- ra chairs , so arranged on an Incline int from every one a good view of the tnge Is presented.

The building la well heated by liroo largo furnaces and well lighted Ith electric lights. The new management assures the ubllc that nothing but llrst-claHs on- ertalnmentH will be allowed to appear this play house , and this promise an bo relied upon. And now that rains como Into Norfolk from every Irectlon In the evening In time to at- end the entertalument and depart dur- ng the forenoon , we feel that our out- Mown friends will hall with delight chance to attend first-class entertain- icnts In a first-class opera house , at ttle loss of time and very moderate xpense , and the further fact that from The Norfolk Dally News with Us wide Irculatlon , they can be advised from I mo to time of coming entertainments.
