I LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 9.-(Speclal.)-That
Btate ownership of lighting plants
I has not been a success at the homo of
'tho Feeblo Minded at Beatrice, was In
dicated Saturday, when the Board of
fPubllc Lands and Buildings contracted
'with a private concern for electric cur
rent for that Institution for the next two
years.
Tho company securing the contract was
tho Electric Service company of Beatrice,
The prlco to bo paid Is 5 cents per kllowat
and the state agrees to consume not less
than J600 worth of power each year.
According to Secretary of State Wall,
the state will savo a considerable amount.
He said that he was not sure what elec
ttrlc power generated at the institution's
flighting plant was costing tho state, but
lie was certain that it was nioro than
the company's offer.
Other officials of the board stated that
tho Btato plant at BearttCo can profitably
manufacture current during the winter
months, when the heating plant is In
operation, and power from that source
can be applied to the electrlo production.
But in the summer months, tho c6al
cost lc so great that tho production ex
pense is too large. The Beatrice institu
tion has 1,2000 electrlo lights and uses
En enormous amount of current.
Secretary of State Walt believes that
tho state owned lighting plants at the
ether state institutions are operated at
a loss, considering that tho power could
be bought from a. prlvlately owned con
cern for less monoy.

ment, but gava notice that tho extradition

'' Tho governor 6ald that he belloved
ground exists for investigation, but wa
puzzled by a dofect in tho papers sent to
Nebraska by tho governor of Michigan.
Theso set out that Wlllard shall bo de-

to .Michigan the law was wired to Gov
ernor Aldrich, who received it Saturday
morning.
The governor, however, still bellbves
.that tho legal point is of such a nature
that It should ba established by a habeas
corpus proceeding before the extradition
becomes effective.

under private tutors.
Tho direction that his further training

when he wus waiting for medical atten
tion in the office of n leading Omaha
oculist. From that time until ho fin
ished his medical course each day was a
carefully marked out program, In which
every minute had its duty.
During this tlmo Dr. Maxwell was also
a social worker.
For fix years, he served as Instructor
in physical education, three years as
physical director of tho South Omaha
Young Men's Christian otsoc'ntton, and
also as physical director In the Omaha

That tho big Douglas county delegation
in the houso ot representatives will not
be able to sit together was feared in the
secretary of state's office Saturday when
It becamo evident that nearly all the
seats In tho chamber had been reserved.
The Lancaster county delegation, con
sisting of six representatives, with dif
ficulty secured six scats In one block and
friends ot tho Douglas contingent then
attempted to lino up a plan by which the
big delegation could be seated together.
However, unless, somo representatives,

The republican rtate committee will
Immediately start Us work of lining up
the organization for tho next campaign,
which will bo tho election of Judges next
fall, according to General J. II. Culver, a
member of tho executive commlttco of the
state committee.
General Culver said that no action would
b taken to recover the furniture und
equipment now In possession of Chair-'
man Epperson of the defunct Roosovclt
Aldrlch state committee. Ho declared
that these things wero of eo little value
that the committee would make no' effort
to regain possession.
Chairman Epperson has returned to his
homo at Clay Center and tho headquar
ters have been permanently closed, H
Is thought that Mr. Epperson would not
object to turning tho furniture and equip
ment over to tho republican committee
now that tho Aldrlch campaign is aver.
As tho election of Governor Aldrlch was
the only object of the Epperson commit
tee, and it has been discredited by the
republican national commlttco and tho
supreme court of tho state, which held
the latter committee's authority 'supremo
in party affairs, It is thought no further
effort will bo made to contlnuo the Ep
person organization.
