While hie raptor talked nwwt nothlnna over tha tele phone to hi. oest girl Richard Patterson of Omaha, for two days a handcuffed prisoner In a farm house four miles from Havelock, took advantage of the abstraction of the former, , slipped the bracelets from hla wrists,' slipped down a lightning- rod to the round, stole the farmer's horse and made war for liberty. Patterson Is a freshman In the University or Nebraska and he had ' been kidnapped by the Sophomores to prs vent hla attendance at k freshman dance to he given this evening; and at which he la to be tha head man of honor. The famrer saw Patterson climbing onto the horse and as quickly as possible he addled' "Otd Blue Points" and started in pursuit. 1 Patterson, however, la somewhat ef a horseman himself and was soon lost to sight m the darkness, and an hour later rode Into Lincoln on the appropriated ant mat to' the glad surprise of his freshmen friends. , ' In tha meantime well that farmer re turned after hla fruitless chase and took ' hla spit Out on Patterson's captor. The captor, was held responsible for the loss of the hortjp, and It was only after promising and allowing .that he could make good on the promise that tbe horse would be re turned. Intact that Mr.- Farmer let Mr. Captor come to Lincoln to tell his humil iating -experience , to . his brother sopho mores. As soon as he truck town Pat terson 'went Into hiding and all avenues to his whereabouts are shut off. Visitors ml Board Shorn of Power. By "unanimous vote ' this morning the ..State Board of Public Lands and Buildings adopted rules for tbe conduct of the Home for the Friendless which will take from the visiting or advisory board every particle of its power and leave the management of the home In the hands of the superintend tU. Mrs. Johnson.. This action on the part of the board came about over the frequent eruptions caused by a disagreement of su perlntendents and members of visiting; boards -over the conduct of state Institu tlons. .This same board put the finish to the visiting boajiMo the Old Soldiers' home for the same reason, making such a re com mendatlon to the legislature which resulted In the law creating that board being- re pealed. ;" The board also, allowed the contractors rectln the hospital and new barn a GrarM, Island I7.62J.60 on his contract. laaarlB- state Balldlna-s. By. voting to Insure .the outbuildings at the Hastings asylum the State Board of lublic .ands and Buildings this morning wont back to the old 6rder of things which were In vogue years and years ago. Since the Hastings fire a year ago, in which sev eral hundred dollars damage was done to n outbuilding, the board has had under ronalderatlon the advisability of Insuring these buildings, but nothing was done until today. These outbuildings will be Insured for flS.COO at a premium, of about 4 per cent, No contract haa yet been entered Into, but the board haa about decided who will write the policy. The aboard has not even considered In urlng the main building, but It Is likely that all thethttbiinairigVof all tbe Institu tlons will be-treated like tbe Hastings buildings. -The practice of insuring- state buildings was discontinued years ago as ft was. thought he state could better afford V to carry Its own risks. Some weeks ago 1 the proposition 'was voted on by the board : and was lost. ' M (1 Juvl 11 BACK?

IV. jfc'.:i.',,';i;iii:i)i I State Superintendent McBrien has issued f Jifs official ruling In the matter, and C. 8. Coney will be recognized by the state de- ; partment as the county superintendent of I Stanton county, notwithstanding that W. H. y Hyland. until January 1, superintendent and at tha recent election a defeated can i' didate for re-election, refuses to turn over t the office and recognise his successor. The .'" objection of Hyland to recognizing Coney as the superintendent is based on the date ': of the certificate issued to the latter after the examination under the new law Just ; prior to the late election. The certificate a dated on the day the examinations began, IV' November i, though It was several days '. later when the auperlntendent had com plated his task. Coney Is a republican, but as evidence that the atate department has been without political bias In the matter of recognizing holders ef certificates secured at special examinations. It Is recalled that Miss Lackaye, the fusion candidate In Bcotts Bluff county, was recognised, though ber certificate was dated the same day as that of Coney. The opinion handed down today by Superintendent McBrien In the Coney-Hyland case will hold good until re Versed by the courts. ' Statistics Law la Lame. "Either abolish the office or enact laws , by which It will be able to perform the du ( tlea which it Is supposed to perform and for which it was created." i The above is the substance of a recom- mends Hon which will be made to the next ( legislature by the head of the department of Industrial atattstics, commonly known ' as the deputy labor commissioner. After throe years' efforts to get Information of Interest and value to tbe people regarding Nebraska the department has come to the - conclusion that the laws are not adequate (and ' therefore should be amended and ' broadened or - tho department abolished !s A DIFFERENCE IN LUNGS, v In. the Edinburgh Uni- versity three human lungs He side by side. One is of an Eskimo and ia snow white. In life this would be ru Jy with rich blood. Another is that of a coal-miner and is . black. The other is of a town dweller and is a dirty slate . gray, as are the lungs of most ) city residents. That's why ' consumption thrives in cities. . One reason why Scott's Emulsion does so much to keep down consumption is because it helps to keep the. lungs dean and supplies them with rich, red blood. It makes the lungs germ-resisting. If the body is run ilovh and health is at a low Scott's Emulsion will bund it up quickly and pt r manently. SCOTT ft HfM MPeri trtt MevVeca. This recommendation came about over the failure of the department to secure proper answers to Questions submitted to the large packers and corporations doing business In the state and thus making It impossible to gather reliable Information regarding the number of men employed In these places and the amount of money Invested and the amount of money paid out. The depart ment believes that this Information Is of vital importance to the people not only of Nebraska but all over the country, and the laws should be so stringent covering these points that the department could force answers to questions. There Is now a penalty for refusing to give Information to the department, but It Is stated by the statistician that the law Is little short of a farce. ' Taking? ltaos from Fire. Mayor Brown. Inspired by the recent hotel Are In Minneapolis, has sent a com munication to the city council to see that the proper investigation la made Into the aafety of the hotels and other buildings which require by ordinance a fire escape. A year ago an Investigation was made of downtown buildings and this year the mayor desires that nothing be left undone to Insure the safety of tne public from fires.' Stomach Pma to Keaewe.

The preliminary steps, have been taken In the organization of the Central Nebraska Dis trict Fair association, whose purpose will be the holding of an annual fair and race meet for the central and western sections of the state. A corporation will be formed, with an authorized capital stock of $20,000, of which one-half will be fully paid In. The work of organization began at a meeting of Interested citizens Wednesday night, when a fund of $1,200 was raised by voluntary subscription. A committee con sisting of Mayor C. J. Miles, A. H.- Farrens and J. D. Mines was appointed to go to Lincoln for the purpose of securing an assignment in the circuit of the Nebraska Speed association. Another committee waa appointed with authority to arrange for the purchase of suitable grounds and still another to solicit subscriptions for stock In the company.

On account of the distance between western points and Lincoln, It Is believed that a district fair here would attract many exhibits which would otherwise go to the state fair. A general mass meeting of citizens will be held on January 24, at which time further action will be taken. FOl'R ARE INJURED I IV RUNAWAY Woman Thrown Into Barb-Wire Fence and Badly Cat. NORFOLK.
