Governor Istbi Explains How the
State Happened to Raise the
' Price on Thirty Carloads
of Coal.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 11. (Special.) In his
biennial report to the governor of the In
dustrial School for Juveniles (boys) at
Kearney Dr. J. V. Beghtol, superintendent,
desires to correct the Impression thst the
Institution Is a "reform school." It Is an
Industrial training school, the report said,
"and It Is an unfortunate error that the
Idea exists that an odlom attaches to tho
name of the boy who Is sent there. Boys
are not sent there for punishment, but for
guidance."
"Some ambiguity of the law exists which
renders commitment Irregular In certain
cases and it Is hoped the legislature will
mske the law7 plain," Dr. Beghtol adds.
Of the religious training at the school
the report ssys the services are conducted
by five chaplslns, who are residents of
Kesrney snd who alternate. Sunday school
Is held each Sunday morning and tho
church service each Sunday afternoon.
At present there are 145 boys in the
school. On February 1, 1897, there were
225 boys and on February 1. 1901, there
were 125 boys. The superintendent ac
counts for the decrease by Indiscriminate
parole, regardless of demerits cancelled or
home environments.
The total appropriation for the two years
was $92,700 and the amount expended from
April 1, 1901, to June 1, 1902. was $62,572.67.
The average monthly expenditure was $4.-
469.47. The balance on hand to pay ex
penses from June 1, 1902, to April 80, 1903,
Is $30,127.33.
Dr. Beghtol estimates that it will cost
$99,000 to conduct the affairs of the in
stitution during the next btennlum.
Norfolk Asylum Report.
Dr. Frederick F. Teal of the Norfolk
Hospital for the Insane In his report filed
with the governor calls sttentlon to the
success of the homeopsths snd their treat
ment of disease at that institution. The
death rate since homeopathic treatment has
been Introduced, said the report, was the
lowest In tho history of the institution,
being only 8.05 per cent. TheTe were 265
Inmates in the hospital December 1, 1901,
and sixty-nine new ones admitted during
the year. A total of 369 cases were treated
during the year.
The report contains a complete history of
the fire and to that attributes the In
creased cost per csplta to $236.02. At pres
ent on the roll of the hospital there are
three names and these persons are at their
homes on parole. The disposition of the
patients has been as follows: Lincoln hos
pital, 128; Hastings, 135; discharged as
cured, 84; died, 19; home on parole, S.
Dr. Teal reports the value of state prop
erty at Norfolk to be $125,000, and he rec
ommends the hospital be rebuilt to accom
modate 250 persons.
The appropriation received was $174,000;
expenditure from December 1 to April 1,
1901. $18,521.71; from April 1, 1901. to De
