Thli mlsapprulicn- olon ought to bo spooillly corrected. On ac count of the newness of the camp and the consequent lack of proper precautions for keeping it open , all that has happened was anticipated by the inon who had Interests thoro.

Indications of extensive donosli * of sand carbonates hive been found und trenches cut In the snow and Rlush exposed beds that seem dostincd to add greatly to the wealth of thn camp. In ono Instance the discovery was madoon a claim the Untor- prlso- which had already attained snmo no toriety from the rlchnim anil magnitude ot Its < | tiartz load.V II Cadwell , an old miner , made a similar discovurv on ono of his claims , from which good returns had previ ously been made on rock taken out of a birr lead.

Proofs ns to the value of these discoveries are abundant. If n lucky pros- pootor does not RO to the trouble or expense ot testing the rock he brings in or sonas it nway for assay some ono else will.

So far the 4)rospoit3 found In recently explored places Imvo been hunted for rather than stumbled Upon. It Is a fortmmto circumstance that these who are doing the prospecting in the district nt present are for the most part ex perienced men. Comparatively few "tondor- feot" have as yet begun to Jtramplo the hills end tempt fortune with pick and shovel.

I''OU SU'KKC OHiVKU'Y. Work of the Methodist DouuoncHScs nntl Hi Primal Alum. A fair sized audience assembled nt the First Methodist church yesterday afternoon to hear Mrs. Lucy Klder Meyer of Chicago , speak upon the woric of the Mothoitfst deaconesses In connection with the hospitals. Mrs. Meyer is recognized as being the or iginator of the movement , mid Is a very en thusiastic worker along that particular lino. She Is a lady of medium si/o , probably nbout thirty je.us old und has : i face that beams with good will and sympthotiu intelligence. She was introduced by Uov. J.y. . Shank , editor of the Nebraska Christian Advoc.\to and president of the hospital association. * Mrs , Meyer said there seemed to bo a deplorable - plorablo misunderstanding of the work of the Christian church , and this had been brought nbout by the church neglecting to do its share of charitable work. The alms and objects of the deaconess movement were to set the church right before the world by doing somethlni ; for the poor , the sick and distieiscd. These deaconesses did the work without pay. The church simply provided them with the absolute necessities of life. The estimate was $ . ' 0 ( ) a year for each deaconess. This paid for board , clothIng - Ing and Si per month for ' pin-money , " Theio were two orders of deaconesses , the nursing and the visiting. The former took charge of the hospitals , and thu latter visited the sick and the pour In thu city where the homo was located. The object wns not only to relieve physical suffering but to spread gospel truth as woll. While they wete ministering to the wants of the body , they also looked out for the welfaio of the soul.'She thought that the church had of Christ's commandments too long neglected ono ments , ilo said to urcach the gospel and also to heal the sick. The church had boon neglecting tno latter. This thu deaconesses hoped to nssUtin doing. The speaker then gave a number of apt il lustrations of the beneficial effects of the work among the poor and suffering. In Chicago cage many of the poorer classes had boon carried away by socialistic Ideas and were almost toady to become anarchists because ' the churches' had done nothing to relieve their distress. The work of the deaconesses among such people had a tendency to con vince thorn that there was a humane sldo to Clulstlanity. When Jesus Christ wai on earth ho relieved the suffering , healed the sick and comforted the poor. The Hist hos pital over opened for the care of the sick was opened after the birth of Christ in tbocltyof Jorusalcm. Mrs. Meyer said she was glad that the church in Omaha had taken up this noble woik. The church people anil the world needed nn onject lesson in chanty , and these Institutions would crcato a public sentiment in favor of broader and more thorough benevolent work than had heretofore boon accomplished. She congratulates the Omaha association upon the splondld start that had been made. The Omaha hospital was capable of accommodating about forty patlpnts. This was larger than any other yet opened by the deaconesses , and everything indicated great usotult.css and magnificent results in Omaha. Mr. Meyer was asked to say a few words about the financial management of homes and hospitals , and ho gave a very practical talic of ten minutes. Rev. Shank then opened the subscription list for membership subscriptions , and ton members at ill ) each were secured In a few moments. The hospital and homo associ ation now has a membership of about ono hundred and ninety , osido from the Ladles' Auxiliary association. Baldness ought not to come till the ago of r > 5 or.'lutcr.

GO-AS-YOU-PLEASE RULES IN BUILDING , * w No Attention Paid to Anything In tlio Contract ICxcopt to Colloot tlio i'rlco from tlio Sadly Swindled State. HASTINGS , Nob. , Juno 13. To the Editor of TUB BKK : I sco that plans and specifications are being urawn for the coustructlou of two additional wings to the asylum for the In * curable insauo In this city , and thnt bids for tholr erection will soon bo askod. I thought It would not bo amiss to call the attention of the board of public lands and buildings to the fact that the citizens of this city , especially , and the taxpayers of the state do not desire to see a repetition of the methods resorted to in the construction of the original structure. As a cltli-on of the third city ot the state , I have , not only the Interest of a taxpayer In this matter but a local prldo as well. I not only desire to sco the state have a Just representa tion of value in these addition for tbo money expended when completed , but 1 want the latter constructed in uch n manner that they will bo a credit to the enterprise and In tegrity of the city of Hastings. Whllo the location of this institution stands as evidence of the progress made by the citizen * of Hustings , the building it- nolf , constructed as It was. stands before the tnxpa > crsof the state as one of thu most claring frauds ever perpetrated upon the stato. Hastings had two architects , C. C. Hilton- house and b. J. Woigle , who were rivals. These submitted plans to the board for adoption. The latter , to plcaso all factions , adopted Ktttoiihouso'.s and appointed Wclglo ns superintendent of construction. When Woigle was Installed ho changed the plans. When tlio building was turned over for use it was found to bo Imuli-quiiti ; and Doroutlvo In many respects. To remedy this onlatlod u heavy additional expense upon the stato. The contract for the construction of the building wus awarded to Kills , Koynolds & Sprecher for the sum of $ ii,000 : , exclusive of plumbing and hoaltng. The lltst mistake was an error of Judgment on the part of the state board , but what fol lows was charged to the superintendent. The basement , whloh Is of atone , was well built , but from that to the roof the building wan constructed almost wholly without re gard to specifications. The hrick wns to beef of the best quality of hard-mould kiln burned material. It was , however , manufactured upon the premises of n very inferior quality of clay and poorly burned. I saw a.sample of the bilck taken from the inner wall near the foundation when the fire escapes were boiug put up. whic h could bo taken between the thumb and finger and crushed to powder. The mortar used In the walls was very much impovoilshod ns to lime , but very rich in sand taken from the sand nit from which the clay had boon dug for the manufacture of the brick. Thi smortar was profusclv used , the mortar lines in a greater part of the walls being from ouo und a half to three-quarters of an inch thick. The mason work was done in a manner cor responding with the quality Of the material used. In fact , during the rainy season of 1881) ) I was shown numerous places throughout the institution where the Kniii lieut Through the Walls and the mortar lines wcro so softened thnt a Icadpenclt could bo run several Inches into the so.uns. The roof was found to bo moro shoddy and defective. The specifications and contract originally provided that the roof should bo of No. 1 redwood shingles laid not moro than four and a half Inches to the weather. But upon the representations of the contractors and superintendent of construction , the board , by some moans was induced to consent to n tin shingle being used at an extra expense of nearly $ . )00. These tin shingles A-oro so badly laid and so many of them failed to lap at all that the roof , when completed , afforded but little moro protection to the building than n sieve. As n result , the struetmo leaked so badly that the walls and ceilings were badly damaged , and some of the ceil- lugs had to be replostored within n year. After expending several hundred dollars In valu attempts to patch up this roof , tUo board finally , in December , 18S9 , was com pelled to put u new roof upon the institution nt nn expense of nenrly $000. VVitU reference to the above facts , Hon. Jonn bteon In his biennial report as commissioner of public lands and buildings , says : The kitchen wus wholly Inadequate to the reniilioincnts of the Institution , and a now basement Utuhon hud to bo constructed. The Foworago wus very defective and Insulllcient to meet tlio sanitary nooils of tlio building , and a now hewer had to bo built. Olosots and wardrobes hud to bo constructed throughout tlm Institution , and no rooms had boon pro vided for the necessary .help on'ployod In the asylum aside fiom those employed upon thu waids ; nontoro room had been provided ; the tower nail been so poorly built as to render It unsafe In cuso of hlgli winds ; the roof of the entire Inillilln ? , which wus of tin. hul boon so pool ly iuld that It leaked badly , and the sys tem of water supply wiis totally Inadequate to supply the needs of such un Institution. These defects In the construction of the building , together with many minor ones , arising principally from changes made ft inn the original pluns and sjieclllcatlons by ttio superintendent of public construction and shoddy work on the part of the contractors , all had to bo remedied before tlm Imlldlni ; could be put in condition for the reception of nutlonts. To do th s tuniilrcd considerable time and the expenditure of a larjo tmin of money. In the interior the work , if possible , was Kvon Moro Poorly Oono than upon the exterior. In the finishing the specifications were almost wholly ignored and the work was done In u sort ot go-as- you-please manner. The material used was wholly Inferior in quality to that called for in the specifications. The finishing lumber used was away below the grade icqulred , whllo tlio hardware was totally different and Inferior to that demanded and contracted for. The mortar used In plastering was In keep ing with that used in the walls. As a consequence quence the walls and ceilings throughout the Institution are continually cracking and crumbling olT , whllo some of the rooiis had to bo roplastored within year from the tlmo the building wns accepted. The state was not only defrauded of the amount paid for this sort of work , but was put to thousands of dollars' expense beside in remedying these dofects. When Itcama to the plumbing and steam boating contract the state was still Knit her Imposed Upon , This part of tlio work was lot nt $0,000. The contract called for n double-pipe system of steam heating , first-class In all tespucts. Thu radiators were to bo furnished with nlukol plato trimming , ground brass unions , etc. The specifications plainly sot forth tlio various sizes of pipes and radiators to bo used , and how the snmo should bo put In. When the work was done , the slats had a single-pipe system instead of a double pipe , constructed of the very cheapest grades of fixtures. The pipes , radiators , etc , , were from ono to two sUes smaller than called for. When the cold weather came , it was Impos sible to keep the building warm , Complaints were made to the board , and exports were sent out to inspect the system. To show how near my assertions are correct , I will quote from the report made by Hon. John Jenkins then commis sioner of labor , who was ono of the exports thatn < ado the examination. Ho says * Tlm system as It now exists Is what N called the one-plpo system , a much cheaper ono and not ua tmaotlru us a douhle-plpu systnni Thu apocltlcatlons very plainly demand a two-plpusystem and first elu.sx apparatus.

After expending about * 100 for ox port re ports I was informed by Superintendent Stone ttiut the board then entered Into n con tract with the snmo stouiu-boutlng firm to remedy the DotVutt In the Work , for which It was to receive the sura of $ tW. ! Ho further stated that they came out hero , put In about ono hundred and sovonly-tlvo foot of one-Inch pipe for drainage , put on a couple of small gates or valves , covered houioof the pipes in the basement with ordinary brown express paper , returned to Lincoln nnd filed rt H\ll \ for thoSJ.V ) , to- collier with board fofimcn nt the Bostwlck hotel , nnd this wns allowed by the board In tbo face ot his protest and recommendation thnt It should bo cut ubwn I The , state hns already expended ovepI,000 In endeavoring to remedy the detects , of this pnrt ottho work nnd has only n .very poor nnd unsatis factory svstoin to show for It , Not satisfied with defrauding the state In the nbovo manner , thcsu-vnrlous contractors managed to illo nnd li vo allowed claims for extras sufficient to exhaust the $7r > ,000 ap propriated for the con.slruction of the build ing. Not only was the State Shamefully Swindled In the construction of that building , but thousands of dollars had , to bo expended at once upon n building Just accoptcd in order to in nit o it somewhere near what It was designed to be and wbnt the specifica tions and contract originally said it should bo ; this , too , after the superintendent of con- s'ructlon had , upon oath on December SI * , 1888 , certified that the building had boon completed in all particulars in nccordnneo with the plans , specifications and contract.

Today marks the beginning of the end of another school year in the history of Brownoll hall. In accordance with thn annual custom the baccalaureate sermon was delivered at St. Matthias' church last night. The young ladies of the hall occupied ssats at the front of the church. The sermon wus delivered by Bishop Atwill of Missouri , who chose as his text Philltplans iv , 8 : "Ihlnk on these things. " The bishop urged on the young ladies thd importance of thinking on the things studied in school. The tendency in this ago wns to do too llttlo thinking. It was as impossible , ho said , to become a thinker without the oxerclso of the mind as it was to become an uthloto without the vig orous exercise of the muscles. It was constant thinking which made thinkers. Ho admitted that it wus naoasv matter to become a thinker in this ago of change , when intellectual food of all kinds was thrown before fore us in such great profusion OB to render it extremely difficult to conllnu the thoughts to any particular subject. The prevalent questions of the day were "Havoou heard I" or "Havo you roadi" and not "Uoyou think ) " The demands of fashionable society wore likely to distract the mind from the consid eration of more serious things , The highest niNsiou of schools , the bishop held , was to teach these who attend to think. The supreme end of education was to make the mind n well ordered kingdom. Hy com pared the mind in iUs universal value to n steam engine , which is useful for not only ono slnglo purpose , but for innumerable purposes. Tuo bishop stated that uvory man must educate himself. Ho wus not thoroughly educated until ho had the power -to summon his mind to the contemplation of anything ho might duslro. Ho urged his hearers to bo content to work during their school life and cheered them by reciting numerous instances in which women had carried oil thu honors In colleges In competition with man , holding that thoru was no doubt but that women hud capacity for thought equal if not superior to man. man.Ho warned them that they would bo sorely tempted to lead a thoughtless life , but up'- pealed to them to avoid such n courso. it would bo possible for them to drift aimlessly through life and suffer tholr minds to become narrow und iultuxlblo through misuse , and ho strongly urged them to guard against such a dangerous cousc. It was cheerful in this day of Godless edu cation , the bishop said , to thluk of girls who wuro being taught to think of things Godly. Ho closed with nn earnest appeal to his young hearers to build UP tholr characters by earnest thought In thinking of tnoso things which \\erc worthy of tholr thoughts. As an otfortory the duo und chorus "I Waited for the Lord" from Mendelssohn's "llvmii of Praiso" was nmduroa by the BrownoU hall chorus class under the direc tion of Mrs. Cotton , the duo being rendered by Misses Stella Thorpe and Clara Palmer in a highly artistic manner This evening will occur the annual mu i- calo of the hall. and dellcloualyao the fresh fruit Browni Meet the Immediate Wants of All Classes With Reliable Clothing of Their Own Manufacture.

They are also clear , trans parent , not misty or milky ; they fit and stand upright1 ; shape and proportions are right to di rect the draft upon the flame.
