(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Nov. 13 (Special.) The
recently signed contract between the
state and a firm which contemplates
making shirts In tho Mate penitentiary

though three copies of the contract were
signed by Governor Shallenberger, Treas
urer Brian and Secretary of State Jun
kln. In neither the office of the gov
ernor nor of the secretary of state can
any trace of the document be discov
ered. While it In rot set out In the missing
cuntiacts that the shirt firm la to make
the clothing to be worn by the convicts
and the suit of clothes given to each
when he leaves the Institution, Warden
Smith Is authority for the statement that
the cblrt firm has verbally agreed to
this and before the tiachlnery is In
stalled he will see to It that a supple
mental contract if signed up by the firm.
It has also been agreed by the shirt firm
that all the state lmtltutlons will be
supplied with working shirts at the
actual cost of the material and labor so
Mr. Smith paid, and this aUo will he In
cluded In that supplemental contract. In
this respect the new contract will differ
with the proposed Cunningham contract
which was rejected by the governor some
months ago.
Onaai Work to Benin.
Frank K. Helvcy, census supervisor of
tho First district, has been notified that
headqunrters for this district will be opened
on the fourth floor of the government
building In Lincoln, In the room known
as the grand Jury room. The office will
be opened some time before January 1 nnd
all those who desire to communicate with
Mr. Helvey, the census supervisor, should
address him at the headquarters in Lincoln,
Instead of at his home In Nebraska City,
where he has lived for the last half cen
tury, more or less.
. Missouri Pacific floods.
The Missouri Pacific secured permission
from the Railway commission today to
Issue bonds to the amount of $29,000,000 for
betterment of Its road In Nebraska and
' other purposes.
Lincoln's police force Is Just now re
ceiving the compliments of the entire city,
owing to Its wonderful Improvement under
the management of James Malone,- act
ing chief. For. many years Mr. Malone
has been the city detective, and upon the
retirement of Chief Rlckard he was elected
ectlng chief to serve until the board got
around to elect a successor to Rlckard.
Hut the force has shown such Improve
ment that It Is very probable Mr. Malono
will be asked to continue permanently in
his new position.
Chief Malone started off by having pa
trolmen stationed at the street Intersec
tions in the downtown districts between
B:S0 and 8:30 o'clock during the rush hour
and this has resulted not only in facilitat
ing traffic, but no doubt In preventing ac
cidents. Several changes have been made
In the personnel of the force since Malone
became chief and he now has a depart
ment superior to any probably ever before
tu Loncoln.
Fees of Supreme Court Clerk.
The report of H. C Lindsay, clerk of the
supreme court, showing the collections of
tils office for a period of six months, filed
with Governor Shallenberger, shows a to
tal of 177.35 was collected. This Included
court costs and copies of opinions.
Extra Man at Mil'ord Home.
Engineer Myer of the Soldier's home at
Mllford was at the state house today talk
ing about securing a fireman for the winter
months. Another engineer has applied for
the job and agrees to work for $70 a
month with the exception of four winter
months, when he wants $S0. Myer receives
170 the year around. lie fears that Com
mander Rowden may conclude to hire the
other man and thus save some money for
the state. Members of the board are In
clined to believe that It will reaulre an
extra man during the winter months.
Johnson Succeeds Klnyon.
Carl O. Johnson of Havelock has been
sclecteda. county commissioner In place of
Fred J. Klnyon, deceased. Mr. Johnson
was elected a commissioner at the late
election to take his seat the first of the
year. He will also fill out the unexpired
term.
Mallen Finally Appears.
Mr. Bryan may now depart In peace for
his South American tour. For several
days he has been making anxious In
quiries for one Arthur Mullen, state oil
inspector and defender of the laws. Today
Mr. Mullen showed up at his office after
a long and unexplained absence. Mr.
Bryan's request that he be allowed an
Interview was conveyed to the oil Inspec
tor and for all anyone knows around the
state house the two have been together
before this. Incidentally, that furniture
which Mr. Mullen was moving In from
O'Neill some weeks ago. Is also helm?
moved In today, which fact kept the oil
Inspector away from his arduous state
duties during the afternoon.
Xo Block from that Table.
The Masonic lodge of Iowa, writing from
Cedar Rapids, has asked the secretary of
state to send Its secretary a cube of wood
from the state house to be placed In a
historic table being constructed for the
lodge library. The letter said 30mo pieces
of historic wood from all parts of the
world had been collected for the table.
Governor Shallenborger's office force was
asked to permit the taking of a cube from
the table upon which the S o'clock closing
bill was signed, but In the absence of the
governor the request was refused.
Complains of Telephones.
W. R. Patrick of Sarpy county who Is
trying to have Mayor Dahlman and the
police board of Omaha removed from of
fice, has filed a complaint with the rail
way commission against the Nebraska
Telephone company. Mr. Patrick alleges
that the company demands of him $3.75 a
month for a two-party line telephone and
he, to get the telephone at that price,
must pay the cost of erecting a line for
a distance of about 100 rods to his home.
Others, he says, particularly C. W. Morse- I
man and A. C. Jewell, get their telephones I
for $2 a month and the company paid for j
constructing the line to their homes which
Was a longen distance than he asked. Pat
rick said he lives In Parphy county about
two miles south of South Omaha, Answer

Coffin is Thrown
Out of Hearse
Selatives Become Frightened
Street Car Accident Near
Lincoln Cemetery.
at
(From e. Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 13 (Special Telegram.)
While the funeral of Mrs. L. W. liurke, a
Lincoln woman, wns proceeding to Wyuka
cenutery tl Is morning the hearse was run !
Into by a street car within a short distance !
of the cemetery. The casket was thrown 1
out of the hearse, which was badly j
smashed, and rolled into the road. The !
covering over the face of the corpse was j
broken and the glass fell onto the face.
When the casket fell the corpse was turned
onto Its side.
When the relatives realized what had j
happened they becume hysterical and the '
body was rushed to the receiving vault,
where Undertaker Roberts rearranged the i
corpse. I
Great Indignation Is expressed over the I
occurrence, which Is the culmination of
several apparently Inexcusable Interrup
tions of funeral processions by street car
operators.
Ernest Overton was the motorman In
charge of the car and his story told to the
manager of the traction company was that
he stopped the car to let the procession
pass and that ' the carriages stopped and
then he started his car.
The husband of the dead woman was
nearly frantic when he discovered the acci
dent and he announced today that he would
prosecute the company for carelessness.
Walton G. Roberts, the undertaker, has
made several complaints, as have other
undertakers, of the carelessness of the
street car company In rushing their carB
through funeral processions, but the com
plaints have evidently had little effect.
