LINCOLN , May 16. ( Special. ) The atato
IIOIIBO fuslonlsts realize that their state
campaign committee needs strengthening In
many places , but they are confident that In
ex-Senator W. H. Dearlng of Cass county
they have n Valuable man and ono who
will bo able to give the popjreratlc campaign
managers xotno shrewd advice. As first as
sistant physician nf the state asylum for
the Insane near this city , the duties of
which office ho has already assumed , ho will
find ntnplo opportunity to confer with the
campaign managers nnd give them any de
sired advice.
Mr. Dcaring has held various public ot-
firts during 'the last nine years and whllo
a member of the state legislature from Cass
county In 180C ho formed a close friendship
with Governor Holcomb nnd has since been
one of his favorites. In the latter part of
the 80's Decrlng gave up the practice of
mcdlclno In the town of Wnhash and located
In Plattsmouth. Ho was elected clerk of the
district court for Cass county In 1891. At
the expiration of his first term of four years
ho again announced his candidacy , but was
defeated. A year later ho was elected state
senator.
Until Mr. Dearlng came to this c.lty Mon
day to assume the duties of his new office
ho had been for a short time connected with
the medical department of the Norfolk asy
lum. Ills appointment as first assistant phy
sician of the asylum near this city was at
the dictation of the Herdman-Dahlman
crowd.
CrltlrlMtiH for 1'oj-nter.
Governor Poyntcr Is being severely criti
cised for the promotion of Dr. C. E. Coffin
to the position of head physician nt the
Lincoln asylum In direct violation of his
announced purpose of replacing all officers
nnd employes of the asylum who had hold
office four years. Vnder this new rule , pro-
mulgttt-d , by the governor , evidently for the
bcneflT It a few and a means of relieving
fronT'.iUy a few undesirable employes , sev
eral men have boon discharged , whileoth
ers hnvo been retained In the service.
C. E. Rowlck , who was appointed steward
of the asylum In recognition of his disclos
ure , of the alleged asylum fraud of six years
ago , was ono of the first to feel the effect
of Governor Poynter's ruling nnd as a con
sequence It Is not surprising that ho Is not
ono of the governor's most ardent admirers
First a republican , then a populist , ho Is now
about ready to bolt the crowd that held
him up for four years. Had It not been for
the promotion of other men who had been
In the asylum as long as ho his discharge
would have been taken as Inevitable , but
under the circumstances ho feels that he Is
perfectly Justified In not remaining ono of
the wheels of the fusion machine. Mr. Ro-
' wick's ability ns nn organizer has been roc-
ngnlzcd , hut ho has publicly stated that he
will have nothing more to do with politics.
At a meeting of the Board , of Directors of
the Union Commercial club yesterday after
noon Mr. Rowlck was elected secretary , to
fill the place left vacant by Ed R. Slzer ,
now collector of the port at Havana. "While
I have worked ns hard na anybody could In
politics , " he said when elected , "I wish to
retire , and will now try to show what I can
do by djrectlng my energies to the building
up of the club In the Interests of the city.
I understand that when a man Is engaged
for a place'of-lthls'kind It'Is-pure , business
nnd I shall do all I can to show the repub
licans who voted fo'r .mo that they have not
made n mistake. "
Mr. Rewlck will begin a campaign Imme
diately to swell the auditorium fund and ht
Is confident that work -will bo commenced
on the structure within 'the next few months ,
Flrnt to Suit Soon.
Governor Poynter today received Information
mation from the War department that the
First Nebraska would sail from Manila some
tlmo during the latter part of the present
month or early in June. Several days ago
the Wnr department was requested by tele
graph to allow transportation homo for M.
If. Woodward of Company D , now sick in
the hospital at Mnnlln. This request was
not granted , ns General Otis had already
been Instructed by Itio department to send
homo wounded or sick Boldlers-ns soon as
they nro able to travel. The reply of ActIng -
Ing Secretary of War Melklcjohn to the re
quest follows :
' 'Dear ' Sir : I beg to acknowledge receipt
of your telegram of this date requesting
the discharge of M. H. Woodward of Com
pany D of the First Nebraska volunteers
whom you state to be In the hospital at
Manila. In reply you are advised that 1
should bo extremely glad Indeed to comply
with your request In tCils matter were It
not for tlio fact that this soldier Is prob
ably on his way at this time , General Otis
having been directed to send homo Kick and
wounded soldiers ns soon its they are able
to travel. In any event , as the First Ne
braska regiment will bo one of the firs
rrganlzntlons to embark from Manila ; hav
ing sailed with the second expedition Jun
15 , 1SOS , It Is tbou&tit that If this young
man Is discharged now transportation can
not bo furnished him on any vessel leav
ing Manila prior to the date fixed for the
departure of his regiment , which Is schea-
uled to Btnrt for the United States the lot-
ten- part of this month or early In June. "

The Stnto Board of Public Lands nnd
Buildings has rejected all bids on the con
struction of the proposed boiler , engine and
IHimp house at the home of the deaf and
dumb at Omaha. This action was taKcn
jy the board on account of a misunderstand
ing as to whether tha contract for the con
struction of the house Included the brick
work arouud the boilers. The specifications ,
the bidders held , Indicated 'that ' the work
was not Included , but won to bo done by the
parties who set the boilers In place. As'
the appropriation of $7,700 made no extra
provision for the work , all bids were re

Include the brick work. The board will
meet again Monday afternoon to consider
