STATE PRACTICES ECONOMY (Continued from First Page.) ings here and It is impossible to have more cells in the present structure. The sewer age system is not large enough to premlt of an Increase in the cell room. The present buildings accomdate about 2W people. After the flood In IJncoln last sumnior it took us two or thre weeks to get the buildings In sanitary condition. "It Is reported thut the government in tends to abandon the Genoa Indian school. If that report Is true the state, It seems to me, could easily acquire that property, which, I understand, includes quite a farm. It could be altered and a fence con structed around It and the young prisoners could be transfored there and taught farm work. "These young men, while bright and fairly educated, jlo not know how to work or make a living. It is practically Im possible for the young of today to learn a trade. If he works in a shoo factory he becomes expert in making a certain part of the shoe, but never mukea a whole one. If he works in a harness factory ho be comes expert In making certain pieces, but never makes a full set of harness. Put these young men on a farm, teach them to work, give them good heulth, and when they have served their time, they will be able to compete for -a living with any one." More K no in eerie il. State Land Commissioner . M. Eaton will recommend in his biennial report that, owing to the crowded condition of the state capitol building the legislature must either ubolish some of the new dcparlments It lias created or fit up the basement for office rooms, or fnove the state library and the department of Justice to the proposed his torical building aprons the strett from the capitol grounds. The latter can be done if the legislature makes an appropriation for a historical building lurge enough to accommodate both the society and the department whic till is proposed to house in the building. Commissioner Eaton and Stfite Traasurtr Brian will Jointly recommend that all cash funds of state Institutions be deposited In the state treasury and that a system be devised whereby the superintendent of a state institution may, after a permit to purchase has been allowed by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. Issue a check which will serve as a voucher upon which the cash funds may bo drawn by warrant on the state treasury. Two years ngo the legislature required all cash lui:ds to be deposited In the ttate tix'nsuiy, with the exception of t to le main In the hands of the s jperlntendent of each Institution.

Mr. Eaton proposes thut the commissioner of public lands and buildings, or some other officer, be authorized to receive funds and pay the Fame to the state treasurer for Iota condemned by the Burlington railroad in Its yards in Lincoln. The railway company has used the lots for fifteen years, but owing to a change In the statutes neither the county nor state treasurer cares to accapt payment for them. Fight for Npeakershtp. With Pool of Johnson county ripping up the prairies searching for members of the next house who are favorable to his candidacy for speaker; Henry Oordes of Richardson keeping a discreet silence, though with his hands on the throttle of a good political machine; Taylor of Custer referring to his past services, and Henry of Holt standing on his record and urging recognition at the hands of the faithful, the speakership fight is taking on tangible shape. With Pool's candidacy there la coupled always the story that lie Is the especial pride of the corporations In this scrap and that they are for him. Gerdes of Richardson has a large following unions the farmers, and If the farmers organize the house Gerdes will stand a good show to. be the man. I-eldlgh, It Is said by his friends, does not want the Job and will not take it or go after it. It was published that Mr. Bryan choose Leidlgh for the place, but the Nebraska City man does not want to serve. In the matter of the chief clerkship of HArPY xow ramlly of Twelve Drink Fostum. "It certainly has been a blessing in our home," writes a young lady in regard to Posluin. "I am one of a family of twelve, who, before using Postum, would make a healthy person uncomfortable by their complaining of headache, dlsziness, sour stomach, etc., from drinking coffee. "r years Mother suffered from palpitation of the heart, ilck headuche and bad stomach and at times would be taken violently 111 until about a year ago .-lie quit coffee and began Postum. "My brother was troubled with head ache and dlzxlness all the time he drank coffee. All those troubles of my mother and brother have disappeared since Pcs tum hss taken the place of coffee. "One of my brothers declared he would stick to coffee If it killed him. which we thought It was doing. One day we ran j out of coffee and being a mile rom town we gave him Postum without say ing what il was. " 'My Oh!' he said, , 'the coffee Is the best today I have ever tasted.' "A ulster was 111 nearly all her life with headache and heart trouble, and about ' all she cared for was coffee and tea. The doctors tuld tier she must leave them alone, as medicine did her no permanent good. "She thought nothing would take the place of coffee until we induced her to try Postum. Nuw her troubles are all gone and she is a happy little woman en joying life as peoplo should. "I think everyone who wakes Postum according to directions on the package will find it a success."

Richmond is leaving no trail over the state and has made practically no campaign. He has been visiting relatives down In Texas. That's what Mayor Jim did Just before he was alnded on In the race for the guber natorial contest. But Richmond's friends say he would not take advice in the mat ter. Thomas Darnell has given out a state ment that the county option advocates con trol the legislature, while Bob Fink, the Personal Rights man says there will be but seventeen men In the house pledged to county option. Both sides claim the senate, making It another case of both sides winning in a contest. There has been no talk of the organiza tion o ft lie senate, because that is said to be under the control of those people who train with the special Interests and for that reason It will be organized not akmg public sentiment lines, but along the lines laid out by the favor seeking corporations. I'nre Food Prmrc nllon. On complaint of Anderson & McNaughton, merchants at Auburn, the f'vid commis sioner has forwarded papers and requested County Attorney English of Douglas county to bring prosecution against Paxton & Gal lagher of Omaha for violation of the brand ,ng clause in section 8 of the pure food law. The complaint of Anderson & McNaughloi. sets forth that a box of figs marked L. contain fifty pounds contained only forty four pounds and ten ounces, being short weight over 10 per cent. In letters to the Auburn firm Paxton & Gallagher say this discrepancy In weight Is due to the fact that figs are sold In wholcsalti packages with an allowance of 10 ptr cent for tare In favor of the whole sale house. The food commissioner holds that the re quirement to correctly label food packages with the amount of the contents applies to the wholesale package as well as to the re tail package, and has advised all retail dealers where complaints have been made of short weight in the wholesale packavje that such cases will be promptly refi to county attorneys for prosecution against the wholesaler whenever evidence by way of affidavit is furnished setting forth the facts in the case. Insurance Company Withdraws, The Mutual Surety company of New York h:is notified Insurance Deputy Pierce that It has witlidiawn from the state and has so Informed Its agents. The company was admitted to do business in Nebraska in 19 6 and has been doing business here since. While no explanation of its withdrawal was given It Is supposed by the Insurance department that Its Nebraska business did not Justify it taking out a license for the coming year. Clean Sweep In One OHloe. E. B. Cowlcs, land commlsslor.er-e'.e t, was in the state house this afternoon and was Introduced to a number of the officers by Judae I.etton, the two having come from Fairbury. "I will have all my office force named by the time the pay starts," said Mr. Cowle.4. "1 have come to the. conclusion that I will be able to run the office without any as sistance from anyone now employed in the office." This last statement is taken to mean that those who are now employed thero will have to hustle elsewhere for Jobs. Mr. Cowles said lie Intended to employ only a portion of the number now employed In the off leu of the land commissioner. Burglary f'harae to Face. TEC'UMSEH. Neb., Dec. 3.-1 Special.)
