THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : FJRIDAY , iSOVMMBEK 4 , 1898. REWlCli OX THE KI'B JUMP Steward Tries to Got His Hospital in Shape for Election , BEE'S ' EXPOSE STIRS UP THE OFFICIALS llanlc Mndr tn < * rt On n Good Out- ivnrd Appearance ItrnultN In KerloitM ItainaKc. tit Two of the I iiforHmiitc IninnlcH * LINCOLN , Nov. 3. ( Special. ) Every day something new comes to light regarding the management of the Hospital for the Immno at Lincoln. The political nssestment. ! have become so burdensome that a majority of the employes are almost In open levolt. ami vrlll support the republican ticket In the coming election. In the Institution head nurses get $25 per month aud second nurses $23. An assessment just levied taxes these employes $4.50 and $4.00 each. The female nttcndants gel still smaller ealarlea , and are assessed In proportion. It IK not known that the high salaried oniclali ) make any contribution to thn campaign fund aside from the amount they ex'ort from the em ployes. It Is certain , however , that they mndo liberal contributions to the legislative fund a year ago last winter , when an effort was made to Increase the salary appro priations for the principal officers , nnd tin- fact that certain salaries \vero Incrtased nftcr the legislature adjourned showed that this fund was not all expende-1 in vain. Shortly after the Exposure of Iho Howlck ' management of the hospital , a month ago , a thango was noticed. Employes were not al lowed to enter the dining room used by the officials , for fear they would report the bill of faro to outsiders. The Infirmary , which was provided for two years ago , was hur riedly fitted up In a way so that fsomo pa tients could be placed therein , although there was no excuse offered for the long delay in having the work dono. In the liable to satisfy public opinion before elec tion day , patients were placed" the nc\v quarters before the window bars were put In , and In two cases patients crept through these windows to escape , and sustained dis located ankles In dropping down to the Kround. Ono of these , while thus Injured , lay under the window until nearly daylight before the guards discovered him. The two patients , crippled In this manner , arc now confined to their beds In the Infirmary , and birs have been put up In the lost few days to prevent other accidents. IiiHiirancc Atccnt Doctor. The outrage of keeping an Insurance ogent at the Institution to act as chief physician Is what Is attracting much public attention. This agent-doctor , who draws cne salary from the state as physician and another from Holcomb's Insurance company of which hp Is treasurer , halls from North Loup , a village of 300 Inhabitants , where he was regarded as mure politician than physi cian. It. would take something more detlnltc even than a veterinary advertisement to ex plain , why he Is placed In charge of tht- hclpttss Inmates of'a state Institution. It IH asserted that his hasty examinations or sick Inmates would scarcely do credit to either a horse doctor or an examiner ot cyclomi risks. Ono case Is cited where an employe had been out on a drunk for two days.and went to bed to recuperate. The Insurant" agent , .who draws pay as a physU clan , made ah examination ol the case and reported that , the sick employe "had strotiR symptoms of typhoid fever , " and made a prescription for this ailment , which of course was not taken. The matter Is treated as r rich Joke by the employes , who rate Ucwlclc and the Insurance agent at their true value. Joseph ' .rnirn3.on6r ; > it-tk'e repub'llcaucan ' - - didnles fjr the legislature from this county , has just received a se-ond letter from the State Dairymen's association asking what at titude hq would take In the legislature an questions relating to the dairy interests of the state. In speaking of the letter today Mr. Burns said : "I was a member of the legislature of 1895 and worked for the passage - ago of the antl-buttcrlm > law that Is now on the statute books. I have not changed my mind since then , but It appears as If a whole lot of the farmers In the state do not want the dairy Interests protected. They declare their Intention of walking up to the polls and voting for a lot of men who are on record as In favor of butterlue. In this matter 1 shall be guided by thu farmers of Nebraska. If a majority of them vote for Iho buttcrlne crowd , then I will conclude that the dairy interests do not desire pro tection. The people who milk the cows and those who run the churns have It In their power tn decide this election. Next Tues day will show whether or not the dairy In terests deserve protection. " Mill-nil !

WASHINGTON , Nov. 3. Secretary Algcr today Issued the first order looking to the mllltaty occupation of Cuba by the United States troops. The order was Issued only after careful consideration of the reports of the military ofllccr now In Cuba and of the Hecker board and other expert commis sioners , who have been In the field. Ttie order looks to the occupation of two points to begin with , namely , Nuevltas nnd Puerto Principe , but the occupation will bo ex tended as rapidly as the Spanish evacuation proceeds. The order directs the movement to begin nt once , but. according to the cal culations of the department , It will scarcely bo possible to make the fl t landing betotc November 22. Headquarters of the new- corps , which has been created for the purpose - pose of beginning the occupation , will be at Nuovltas. under command of General L. H. Carpenter. Ho Is now In command of the cavalry brigade composed of the Sixth and Seventh cavalry at Huntsvllle. The orCer Is ns follows : The headquarters of six troops of the < Eighth United States cavalry and the Third I Georgia volunteers will be at Nuevltas. | Six troops of the Eighth United States cav alry and the Fifteenth Infantry to Puerto Principe. The regiments will be prepared to embark at once and the subsistence department will rrr.il BO for the lu'r.esmiry rations' . The command will bo equlppi. 1 ad rationed for sixty days. Ths quartermaster general's de partment will furnish the necessary wagon transportation for use at their'new stations. The surgeon general will make provision for hospital nnd medical supplies. Brigadier General L. H. Carpenter , U. S. V. , IB assigned to command these troops , with headquarters at Nuevltas. The cavalry brigade , composed of the Sev enth and Eighth United States cavalry , la discontinued. The Seventh Is assigned to the First army corps and the Eighth to the Second army corps. ' . The Fifteenth United States Infantry Is de tached from the Fourth army corps , an In fantry brigade created , composed of the Third Georgia volunteers nnd the Fifteenth United States Infantry and designated as the Second brigade , Third division. Second corps. The orders sending the Second brigade , Third division , Second corps , to Athens , Ga. , have been revoked. The staff of General Carpenter's brigade will consist of the following officers : Cap tain John E. McMahon , assistant adjutant general of volunteers , adjutant general ; Captain William K. Alexander , assistant quartermaster of volunteers , quartermaster ; Captain William M. Loveland , commissary of subsistence of volunteers , Commissary ; Major William F. De Neldman , United States volunteers , surgeon. Neuvltas Is a seaport at the eastern end on the northern shore of Cuba. Puerto Principe Is located In about the central portion of the province of the same name. This general order has nothing to do with the assumption of control of the island by the United States , no change being made from January 1 , the date agreed upon. It was explained at the War department that this first movement of troops to Cuba was ordered In advance of the date orig inally Intended for the reason that the Span ish evacuation commissioners had unex pectedly notified the American commission ers thai 'they InTen'd'cd' t6"tcYa'cua'e { TtKer'fb Pr'lnclpo on the'22d of tiip present month. Consequently It became necessary to have United States troops on hand In Cuba to replace these Spanish force ? to maintain order and protect life and property. MIDWAY'S TI'UX TO SI'H.VD MOXUV. ItnllroailN' Agreement T Karen Still HolilH Omul. The agreement of the local passenger men to grant nothing Tower than two-thlrda of regular rates for parties of five from the Midway and other parts of the exposition IB being maintained. So far there has not been a single break heard. Chairman Caldwell - well of the Western Passenger association Is authority for the statement that this Is the first time in the history of American railroads that an agreement covering the movement of so many passengers has been voluntarily made and maintained by the passenger men. In speaking of the matter one passenger man said : "The lines here have every rea - son to fcrl proud of the manner In which , this business has been handled. I doubt If It could have been done lu any city , for In no other city of this size will the representatives of one line trust thoseol .another line as they will In Omaha. The agreement gives the Midway people a very fair rate. Two-thirds of th ? regular fare is as great a concession as they are entitled to. Most of them have made a great deal of money hero during the summer , an < they might as well leave some of It with the railroads that helped make the exposition n success. One man from the Midway was Just In our office kicking because our rates were higher than those he got from Chicago to New York after the World's fair. Bui before going out hn admitted ho came tc . Omaha with less than $5 and goes nwa > with $5,500. I guess the two-thirds rati won't hurt him. " Opcratliifr ( lie Hrancli I.him.
