LINCOLN. Oct. 15.-(fpecia1.)-The Ie
Brown and Duster company, which now has
the contract with the state, penitentiary
for convict labor at 60 cents a day for each
convict employed, probably will have
trouble In getting Its contract renewed.
Borne members of the board are opposed
to the company getting Its labor so cheaply
and will oppose a renewal of the contract.
In addition to getting the labor for 60 cents
a day the company Is furnished power to
run Its machinery. The company prob
ably would be unable to get the same labor
for less than $3 a day outside of the prison.
Treasurer Brian Is Very much opposed to
the price being paid for the convict labor.
He said:
"I shall certainly oppose renewal of a
contract which calls for only 50 cents a
day to be paid for the work of the con
victs. While I have not figured the matter
very closely. I believe this (2,500 or 13.000
the state gets from this company won't
more than pay the eosi bill. It looks -"to
me like the company should furnish Ha
own power If the state la to receive only
60 cents for the labor. It looks to ma like
we ought to get rid of the broom factory
anyhow, as It puts the convicts In com
petition with other labor. I believe It
would be a money making proposition to
Install a shoe factory or a tailor shop and
let the convicts make the clothing and
shoes to be furnished the inmates of the
various state Institutions. None of this
clothing or shoes Is made In the state, I
believe, and there would be no competi
tion. The goods made, of course, would
not be sold, but would be uaed only for
the state's wards." .

Crank at State House.
Park Edmund G. Maggl, chief clerk to the

growth this morning when he was called
upon by a genuine crank In the neighbor
hood of six feet tall. The chief clerk po
litely removed his feet from the top of his
roll top desk and laid aside his papor when
the man approached.
"Are you Governor Sheldon," the man In
quired. After he returned to earth, Maggl very
modestly admitted he was not. though he
was .In close enough touch with the head
of the state to attend to any of his bus
iness. The man looked cautiously around and
then asked for a private Interview In which
he desired to Impart some information of
very great Importance. Maggi'a curiosity
got the better of his Judgment and he
granted the private Interview.
"My stepmother is trying to hypnotize
me," the man began, "and I want you to
stop her 'there she Is now,' " he fairly
screamed, looking at the closed- door ex
citedly, and at the same time running his
two hands lniis pistol pockets. Before the
crank come out of It Maggl had the door
open, his fists doubled up, Secretary DI
meny In the room, and the crank headed
for the police station. "Tell them your
troubles and that I sent you," gasped
Maggl, and he hasn't been normal since.

Demo-Pops Forget.
In answer to the criticism by the demo
pop papers and of some of the old soldiers
of the rule adopted by the State Board of
Public Lands and Buildings regarding the
pension money of members of the soldiers'
homes, the board members aay the old
soldiers evidently do not understand the
new rule, while the demo-pop papers have
forgotten the rule In force during the
demo-pop administration. It Is contended
by members of the board that the now
rule Is more liberal than their former
regulation or the regulations enforced by
the populists. Tha former rule of the pres
ent board was that members of the home
should pay the state all of their pension
money In excess of $13 a month. The pres
ent rule requires the members of the home
to pay only a percentage ot the excess
of $11 a month and In rase the member has
a dependent relative or family nothing Is
taken from his pension money. During the
populist state administration a soldier draw
ing more than $12 a month was refused ad
