were found In the bottom of eacn. The
mattresses were no rotten that the super
intendent had to replace them throughout,
and one of the first things he did wan to
purchase ninety woolen blanket, as those
In uae were absolutely unfit for use. Bod
clothing had to be bought for every bed.
The old bed were do filthy and worn out
that It waa iiecesnary to throw them nway.
The tableware had to be bought outright,
a there waa not sufficient for the line of
the pupils. The entire Institution had to
be overhauled and repaired. Today there
is not a better Institution anywhere. All
necessary repairs have been made, new
furniture haa been bought and the place
haa been made comfortable and sanitary,
Kearner Industrial Nclionl.
The Kearney Industrial School for Hoys
was the building which was In iuch a
condition that when the republicans took
charge of It they had to prop it up wtillo
they repaired It. The institution was In
this condlton when the fuaonlsls turned it
over:
The industrial building and barn needed
Hew roofs, painting and general repairs.
The cow barn was rotted away and un
sanitary. It was too far gone for repair.

The boys' mattresses were worn out and
many of them hail been tilled with straw.
The bedding waa In the same cundlllon.

Everything about the place was run

bring the Institution up to Its present con
dition the republican administrations have
had to do this: .

new corrslls built, new feed boxes con

Ilastlaara Asylam lor laaaae.
The Hastings asylum for the Insane will
be recalled as the Institution where the
fuslonlsts In their mad desire to keep down
the "per capita" and make big salaries al
lowed the Inmates butter twice a week only
and meat three times a week. It Is the
same Institution where there waa not then
a single rocking chair, and now there are
over 90. It Is the same Institution whero
the fuslonlsts allowed the weeds to grow
twelve feet high without cutting them.
Here is what the republicans have done to
make this Institution what it la:
Tho first and most Important Improve
ment was the construction of the north
an lex for the accommodation of 2no male
patients. This Is a fireproof building and
admitted to be one of the best structures
in the state.
A large dairy barn accommodating 100
milch cows haa been built a half mile
southeast of the Institution and near the
same location a slaughter house, fed
yards and hog house have been added,
t'nder the fuslonlsts, the feed yard and
the slaughter house was In the Immediate
rear of the main building. This removal lias
made the place more sanitary and has
added much to the general appearance of
the crounds.
The old sewer, which emptied near the
AdinlniHtrstion building, hat. been replaced
by a larger one a half nule in length, which
has also added much to the sanitary con
dition of the Institution. The plumbing
han been renewed throughout the entire
building. '
During the last three years three new
wards have been added for the accommoda
tion of patients, which, with the annex,
has Increased the rapacity of the Institu
tion from 6G0 to 1,060. Three new boilers
have been added to the boiler rooms, to
gether with a new generator and engine,
which furnishes light for the buildings.
Among the additions made was one XxK6
feet, to the engine room; 24 x 48 feet, to the
carpenter shop' one 30x4f feet, to the laun
dry building. The machinery In the laun
dry building had been renewed throughout.
A new bakery with two large ovens has
just been completed.
A new farm cottage for the accommoda
tion of twenty or twent.'-flve male patients
Is almost completed; a vegetable cellar, 24x"iO
feet, has been constructed; four large
perches have been built, and dark and
dingy places In the buildings have been
lighted up with windows. A modern oper
ating room has been added to the male
sick ward. In place of the two largo
dining halls a small dining hall has been
constructed for each ward, which Is the
plan recognised by the best authorities.
Four years ago the lawn consisted of five
acres, all run down. At present the pa
tients have a lawn fully twenty-one acres
In area. The heavy Iron bars and acreens,
which were so offensive, have been re
moved and replaced by lighter and less
offensive window guards, which are Just as
safe. A mile and a quarter of brick walk
haa . been laid within the Institution
grounds, and just at present the super
intendent Is completing 10,000 feet of manu
factured stone walk through the front
lawns. The republicans have laid one and
one-half miles of cinder walks around the
Institution. Five thousand fruit and shade
trees have been planted during the last
four years and are doing well. Two large
green houses are under course of construc
tion. Beveral miles of new fence, which
the fuslonlsts let run down, have been re
built. The garden In connection with the
institution has been Increased from fifty
acres to 140 acres. During the last four
years 110 acres of alfalfa have been put In.
Four crops this year have produced 350
tona. A aystem of water works has been
Installed and the Institution boasts of a
thoroughly trained Are department. Many
other Improvements have been made dur
ing the last four years until now the In
stitution Is surpassed by none of Its kind
In. the country.
Institute for Feeble-Minded.
The mismanagement of tht fuslonlsts
seemed to reach Its climax, here. When
they left everything that was not nailed
down waa taken away. The walls of the
building had cracked and the mortar had
dropped from between the brick in many
placea. On the Inside the plastering had
fallen, and no one swept It out. It waa
there In pllea for the unfortunate inmates
to scramble over, as best they could. It
took two years hard work to get it In, any
kind of shape and now it is one of the
state's model institutions. Even the
campus waa as barren of trees, aa the
prairies of long ago. Today there are
over 3,000 shade treea on tho lawn, planted
by the present auperlntendent. When the
republicans took charge there waa not a
foot of permanent sidewalk on the entire
place. Today over 5,000 square feet . of
brick and cement walka and over 1,000 feet
cf cement floors hove been laid and In
numerable loads of clndera have been
deposited on the place from which walks
have been constructed.
When the fuslonlsts turned over What
was left of the institution no- farm waa
connected with .it. Today the Institution
has a farm of 225 acres dotted with horse
barns, a granary, corn cribs, hog houses
and sheds for Implements. When the
fuslonlsts were forced out tho institution
boasted of six cows and four horses. To
day the Institution haa fllfty-flve head of
cattle, milks thirty head of cows and owns
eight head of fine horsea.
To make the institution habitable the
republicans had to repair throughout the
main building. The girls' cottage waa
left by the fuslonlsts juat aa It came from
the builders, with the Inside rough and
unfinished. The rough plastering waa cal
cimlned and the place made decent. The
hospitals and the boys' cottage No. 2 had
Just been completed, but the Inside waa
like everything else with which the
fuslonlsts had anything to do. It had not
been finished nor made habitable.
All the old boilers have been reset and
one new one Installed. A vegetable cellar
Is being built of brick and cement. It will
hold about 2.600 bushels of vegetables. A
cold storage building haa been constructed,
a green house and a blucksmlth shop. Hun
dreds of fruit tree have been set out,
where before there waa not a one.
When the fuslonlsts ha charge of the
Institute for the Blind at Nebraska City It
waa a case of tho blind leading the blind

work for which they had been called al

an extent that the school wurk was llltle
less than nothing. The tower over the
main building, which was damaged by a
torm two years before the republicans
took charge, had to be repaired after't..
fuslonlsts had been Jarred lose. The build
ings had not been painted for years, to
gether with a general overhauling of the
Institution.
SolJlrs' lnf at Gilford.
A. thorn In the side of the fuslonlsts Is
the great care with which the republicans
have looked after the old soldier. Five
year ago It was no uncommon eight to
Bee a load of coal dumped out on IhJ
ground In front of the Milford home and
remain there until It was used. This littla
Incident might not be of much moment, but
It Just goes to show the slipshod way the
fuslonlsts had of doing things. A well
kept lawn with flowers In bloom was un
known to the fuslonlsts. The home has
been overhauled thoroughly since the re
publicans have taken charge. Fences have
been rebuilt, the building haa been plaatared
and cleaned, new bedding haa been bought,
flower beds have been set out, permanent
walka have ben laid and a modem, well
equipped hospital has been built. The loca
tion of the horn la Ideal and the buildings
have been made to conform to the location.
And what has been said of the Milford home
Is also true of the Orand Island home. At
both placea the soldiers and tailors de
pendent upon the state really have a homa.
Home New Buildings.
The Hospital for Insane at Norfolk and
the state penitentiary at Lincoln, both of
which were destroyed by fire because of
the Inadequate flre protection furnished by
the -fuslonlsts, have recently been dis
cussed In the publlo press. The new build
ings erected by tho republicans are now
In uae and neither Institution, In Its class,
has a superior. The penitentiary Is said
to be the best In the ITnted States, as well
as the best managed. From ruins and
ashes haa grown a most beautiful and sub
stantial structure surrounded by a mag
nificent farm and beautiful grounds. The
warden has even gone so far that no longer
Is the striped suit the rule, but the excep
tion, a gray suit being given to the prison
ers for good behavior. The Norfolk hos
pital has Just been rebuilt and la ald to be
magnificent structure.
Lincoln Hospital for Insanes
Owing to the destruction of the Norfolk
hospital, the Lincoln Hospital for I he In
sane had been crowded to such an extent
urlng the last few years that Its Improve
ment and Its conduct haa been short of the
marvelous. So crowded haa been the ln
atltutlon that It haa been necessary to put
the patients two and three In a room and
even In the halls, so it is not surprising
that Just when the pressure was about to
be relieved typhoid fever should break out.
Notwithstanding the condition of affairs,
the superintendent has found time to make
of It one of the model Institutions of trj
country.- New treea have been set out, a
new barn has been built, more ground has
been bought and the place has been over
hauled and renovated from basement to
turret. Fine herds of cattle now roam
over the broad acres and the store houses
are full to the brim from the magnificent
yield. This haa been developed from a
run-down, dilapidated Institution where
scandal waa as prevalent as insanity.
The Girls' Industrial School at Geneva
Is now In first-class condition and free
from scandal; the Home for the Friendless
t Lincoln han really become what it waa
ntended to be, and Is no longer a free
boarding house where parents could get
rid of their children. Children who are
nmates and helpless are given the best
medical attention.
Educational F.xtensloi-S.
Aa a reault of alleged "extravagance" a
new normal echol full of students Is operat
ing at Kearney and twelve Junior normal
schools are In session in aa many parts of
the state, something the fuslonlsts never
dreamed of. The university campus has
been dotted with new buildings to accom
modate the students.
Of course these improvements have all
cost money and lota of It. Therefore tho
question la, has It been worth the price?
Would It have been better to allow the
nstttutlons to decay and fall to the ground,
as the fuslonista did, or haa It been bet
ter to repair and keep them in shape and
furnish a home for the state's unfortu
nates?
Under fusion rule, a stream of relatives
and friends were fed at the expense of the
state, while at one Institution three rooms
were set aside free of charge for the use
of a country newspaper.
The searchlight has been on the institu
tions during the last four years and not a
aingle charge of corruption haa been filed.
The fusion press calls It extravagance.
UNREST IN ST. PETERSBURG
Printers, Ship Tarda Employes and
Other Workmen May Strike
Tbla Week.
8T. PETERSBURG. Oct. 14.-Tha storm
center of political and labor agitation may
next week be transferred from Moscow
to St. Petersburg, where the printers and
the employes of several large establish
ments are now debating the question of
a strike. A strike of printers has been
declared in the government of Saratoff and
no newspapers are being printed. A bomb
was thrown today, but there were no
fatalities.
The printers of 8t. Petersburg will hold a
general assembly tomorrow at which dele
gates from Moscow will be present. It will
be determined by the assembly whether a
strike shall be called. The employes of the
big Baltic and NevBky ship yards are on
the verge of a walkout. A majority of the
St. Petersburg workmen are apparently
desirous of continuing work, but If a atrlke
is declared they are apt to be forced
through sympathy or intimidation to Join
it.
Work haa been resumed In a number of
factories In Moscow and others will reopen
on Monday, but the strikes of the printers
and in some of the factories may drag on
for Beveral weeks with a constant liability
of minor disturbances between the police
and the workmen.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 The emperor of
Russia and the emperor of Japan today
signed their respective copies of the peace
treaty, thua officially ending the war.
Baron Rosen, the Russian amhnssador,
called at the Btate department today and
saw Secretary Root. While hi had no offi
cial advice on tho subject Information had
reached him to the effect that the em
peror of Russia had early in the day af
fixed his signature to the copy of the treaty
drawn at Portsmouth and engrossed on
vellum at St. Petersburg. It was not
necessary for the ambassador to convey
this Information officially to the State de
partment, for. according to the plan ar
ranged yesterday, the Russian Foreign
office was to advise the French govern
ment of the act of signature and that
government In turn waa to adviae the
Japanese government.
A few minutea after noon Minister Taka
hlra appeared at the State department with
a message stating that the emperor of
Japan had signed the treaty at Toklo. A
cablegram was Immediately sent to Spencer
Eddy, charge d'affaires of the American
embassy at St. Petersburg, who was In
structed to Inform the Russian Foreign
office that the emperor of Japan had per
formed his part, and so both copies of the
treaty having been, duly signed, and each
of the great nations lately engaged In
hostilities, having been officially Informed'
of the fact, tha Russo-Japanese war, which
began February S, 1904, with the attack
by Togo's fleet upon the Russian ships at
Port Arthur, terminated officially today,
October 14.
Little remains to be done to meet the
official requirements. At a later date, prob
acy in me course of a month or two,
copies of the treaty will be actually ex
changed, probably in Washington, by the
Russian ambassador and the Japanese min
ister or charge, for it is posslblo that
Minister Takahlra will before that occur
rence have gone to Japan on a leave of
absence. There Is nothing for this gov
ernment to do in the way of proclamation.
The Aurora, Jemtchug and the Oleg, con
stituting Admiral Enqulats squadron at
Manila, and the Lena at Mare Island, which
have been Interned for months, irmv r,rK-

indeed, wholly banished from tha schools.
And under the new regulations the Poles
have no right to parcel out and colonlae
land purchased from their own com
patriots or from German owncra. How
different are the condittona created by the
recent ukase in the nine "western govern
ments" of the Russian empire. Here, In
deed, by virtue of the ukaae, the Polish mi
nority haa by one stroke been placed in tha
ascendant, with the result that Russian
landed property, great and small, may be
expected soon to change hands In favor of
the Poles. As the new ukase permits tne
peasant of Russian or other extraction to
sell hia freehold to Polish peasants, a class
of financial ItiBtltutlona agrarian banks
in tha management of which tha Poles of
Prussia show bo much dexterity, will not
fall to aprlng up in order to take advantage
of tha new poeslbllltlea.
In the nine "western governmenta the
Polish and the great Russian , noblea are
the land .owners on the largest acale, and
most of the small rural freeholds belong to
Llthunlan, Little Russian, White Russian
and Black Russian peaaants.
Poles Hetnrn from America.
The towns except for a few Russian
officials are inhabited chleffy by small
Jewish tradera and money lenders, while
the Poles fill all of the liberal professions.
The reflux of Polish emigrants, wno, re
turning from America, Invest their savings
In small farms la already great, and it
may be aafely predicted that '.hey will
come to reinforce the Polish ranks in the
nine governments and displace the Russian
peasant. As to the great landed property
it must be rioted that Polish and Great
Russian estates are alike mortgaged to the
utmost limit, and that both Poles and Rus
sians are equally eager to aell out. Polish
landowners for patriotic reasons have
until now held fast to their property, and
only sell their land to Russlnn newcomers
hitherto the sole class of legal buyers
when there were no means of conveying
It to a Pole or of selling to a Pole who
through connections or corruption had a
"pull" with the government. I p to I860,
after a Russian domination of seventy
years In the nine governments, only one
great landed estate out of aeventy had
passed from Polish to Russian hands; even
today, after forty years of prohibitive
laws, districts where 43 per cent of tha
great free hold estates is owned by Rus.
slans are very rare, while districts where
75 per cent still remains Polish are num
erous. Vnder the new ukase the great
Polish landowners will now find difficulty
In disposing of their encumbered estates.
Thousands of the younger sons of the
wealthier families of Polish extraction In
the nine provinces, form at present the
flower of the technical professional men of
RuHsla; they are to be met with every
where, from Dnelper to the Amur, as di
rectors, station-masters, constructors of
railways, surveyors, engineers In govern
ment or private stations and managers of
factories. Those who belonged to the
gentry left their country, taking their por
tions In money and leaving the land to
their elder brothers so as to avoid split
ting up the estates. From ancient times
In Poland all prosperous men of business
have had a propensity to retire as country
squires to the homes of their youth, or, at
least, to aettle their aons and sons-in-law
on a family manor. The demand for
Polish land In the nine governments from
this class of would-be buyers and from
the rich manufacturers of the Vistula
provincea will be much greater than the
supply.
Mny Hemove All Rest rlet loas.
The consequence Is obvious a rise In tha
price of Polish land and a corresponding
fall In the price of Russian land. Con
sequently the Russian great landowners in
the nine governments will be the first to
petition for the repeal of those articles
of the last ukaae which forbid them to
sell or to let land to a Pole. A strong
movement is already going on for a thor
ough repeal of all restrictions on dealings
In landed property. In a few years the
Immigration of new Polish landowners will
be followed by an emigration of the great
Russian landlords, and aa the Polish pur
chaser always brings In his train a number
of Polish hands and officials, tha process
of Polish home colonisation will commence
precisely where it was arrested 100 years
ago. At the same tims, by establishing
themselves In tha nearest town, the Polish
vendors of land will swell the ranks of
the Polish municipal population. The
schools with the teaching of the Polish
language will . certainly hasten In those
provinces a process which may already be
observed on a large scale In Oallcla and

the Jew. It must be noted that notwith
standing a strong anti-Semitic feeling on
the one hand and the Zionist movement
on the other, the Polonlsed Jew shares
largely and sincerely In the national life,
and that, In the greater centers especially,
as at Cracow, Lemberg, and Warsaw, these
Jews, In the second, or, at latest, In the
third and fourth generations, become
Roman Catholics, Inter-marry with the
Polish nobility, and are absorbed by the
Polish society. From whatever standpoint
the question be regarded the conclusion
must be reached that Polish predomlnence
haa been restored In the nine governments,
and that if new laws remain In vigor for
two generations the development of na
tional forces In Poland will Juatlfy the
anxiety of the Prussians.
SORROW FOR 'IRVING'S' DEATH
Eminent Artor Mourned by People
of Great Britain of All
Claaaes.
LONDON. Oct. 14. The body of Sir
Henry Irving will reach London at 3:20
o'clock tomorrow morning. It will be con
veyed here In a funeral car attached to
the regular train from Bradford, accom
panied by hla sons, Henry B. and Law
rence and Bram Stoker and the other mem
bers of hla buslneaa staff and personal
friends. Immediately on its arrival the
body will be taken to Mr. Irvlng's resi
dence. Notwithstanding the requests that no
flowers be aent several magnificent designs
have arrived and have been given a place.
Flags were placed at half mast on many
of the theaters In London and the after
noon and evening performances In the
theatera throughout the country closed with
the orchestras playing the dead march. At
the Queen's Hall concert the orchestra
played Chopin's funeral march, tha vast
audience standing.
Ellen Terry, who Is playing, at Birming
ham, la reported to be completely pros
trated with grief and did not appear at to
night's performance.
A meeting will be held in London at
which a proposition for a national memorial
will take shape. It la extremely probable
that Sir Charles Wyndham wilt propose
the endowment of a national theater In
Irvlng's name.
Seldom hat tha death of a publlo
man In England called out auch an
universal expression of sorrow that
has followed the tragically sudden
death of Sir Henry Irving at Bradford
last night. Appreciations, histories of his
career and atorles of his mar.y-slded activi
ties fill the newspapers. Hla last worda on
the stage aa the curtain waa rung down,
on the death of Becket, "Into Thy hands,
Oh, Lord. Into Thy hand," were practi
cally tht last he uttered, aa ha never
spoke after hla collapse In tha hall of the
hotel, where he died. Members of the
company now recall that Sir Henry showed
signs of exhaustion and overstrain during
the last week, which did not attract par
ticular attention at the time.
During the performance of "The Bells"
at Bradford Thursday the veteran actor
delivered many passages seated Instead of
his customary freedom of movement on the
stage. Once or twice last night toward tha
close of tha performance Sir Henry was
seen to support himself on the stage, but
in response to the recalls of the audience
ha appeared before tha curtain and ac
knowledged the cordiality of his reception.
Flags are half-masted over the town hall
and other public buildings at Bradford to
day and telegrams are pouring in from all
parts of the country.
Ellen Terry was greatly distressed at tha
newa. She anld:
"I know all this has happened as he
wished. He worked to tha very last In full
possession of his faculties. It rejoices me
that he finished hla evenlng'a work. His
last words on tha stage were. 'Through
night to light. Into Thy hands, oh God,
Into Thy hands."
"His last expressed wish, the wish of his
life, waa for a municipal theater whero
everything would be of the first orde-,
where tha standard of true drama as dis
tinguished from miscellaneous entertain
ment would be successfully upheld. A
realisation of this wish would be a fitting
monument to him."
Sir Charlea Wyndham, manager of tha
Criterion theater. Is taking the Initiative in
summoning a meeting of actors and man
agers to decide what action shall be taken
to perpetuata tha memory of "The Chief."
Suggestions are heard In some quarter)
that the burial take pine in Westminster
Abbey In poets' corner, where lie the bodies
of Oarrlck, Mrs. Slddons and other theatri
cal celebrities.
