L.1.NCOLN. Neb.. Slay it -(Special Tet-egranU-The
Board of Public Lands and
Building this evening ordered two spiral
fira escapes for state buildings not now
equipped with this means of life-saving
in cae of fire. One is the low trade
building at the Beatrice School for the
feeble Minded. This Is the building
hlch the pupils" of lowest intelligence
are quartered. Another is on the only
building at the Hastings hospital for the
insane which 1 not already so equipped.
The fire escape cost about tl.OW each.
The board also contracted for an elec-
'e lift food dummy for the Norfolk
hospital for the insane. This la to carry
food from the kitchen to the dining room
and upper floors. The board also voted
to pay Architect Berlinghoff tt.OOt as a
balance on his fee for designing and
superintending the construction of the
new building at the Norfolk hoxpltal. The
amount nas appropriated by the legisla
ture to l paid Berlinghoff when the
liilld:ng was completed and accepted.
J .and Commissioner Cow lea voted against
the payment, tho other three members
in favor. Cbwles says the work of the
architect was not satisfactory.
The other members of the board admit
that some feature of the building, re
lating to design, are not is they would
wish, but hold first that these things are
not the fault of tha architect, but of the
former superintendent, who had the orig
inal plans of the architect changed. There
is some controversy, however, whether
this Is the fact. Th member of the
lii-oard w ho voted to allow tha bill also
F j legislative member Inspected the
"building and passed th appropriation,
leaving no choice in th matter except to
nllow th money when th work was
completed according to contract. All ad
mit that th building, mechanically, is
well built, the criticisms being as to some
feature of arrangement.

The meanest piece of malicious
mischief committed about here for some
time occurred at th Pleasantview school
haute, about two miles northwest, when
vandals broke into the place and almost
demolished th Interior. School books
were torn to piece, desk smashed, a
fine glob of the world ruined, the stove
and chairs broken and th top torn from
an organ. As there were fresh auto
