tho executive committee of the clubs

tion was adopted characterising as
"clear graft" the 40 cents per day

"Believing that the payment for serv
ices of the sheriff of Douglas county of
14,000 per annum Is sufficient compensa
tion, and that the profit between the
cost of the raw material and provisions
used In feeding prisoners, and tho allow
ance of 40 cents per day for tho feeding
of such prisoners la clear graft, and an
unnecessary waste of money, and an tin
necessary expenditure of and increase in
taxation,
"The Federation of Improvement clubs
of Douglas county, by and with the Im
provement clubs represented therein,
hereby protest against the passage of
house roll No. 632 and ask that all rep
resentatives in both the house and -tho
senate of the legislature of Nebraska uso
their might and Influence to defeat said
measure, unless the same Is so amended
as to require the sheriffs of aueh coun
ties as are therein affected to feed pris
oners without compensation, where such
counties furnish the help, and material,
and provisions so to do.
"Resolved, That copies of these reso
lutions be sent to members pf the house
and senate as expressive of the senti

Improvement clubs participating herein."

With the rsssage of the state hospital

people are anticipating little further

Ground Broken for
Foundation of New
St. Barnabas Church

finally passes the senate and Is signed
by the governor, on the site of tho Col
lege of Medicine In Omaha, Forty -second
anil Harney streets.
The University of Nebraska bought thts
ground several years ago for about
$20,000. The ground today la eetimated
by real estate men to be worm 140,000. as
values have rapidly increased, and build
ing operations have become active in
that direction. A new medical school
building has been built on tills fine spot
and was dedicated a littlo over a year
ago.
The contemplated state hospital on this
ground is to be used for free surgery and
treatment in the cases of patients who
could not afford to taka treatment else
where, or lor others wbo cared to go
there. At the same time. It would be
understood that treatments given these
and surgery performed ' would be used
aleo as demonstration work before the
classes of medical students attending this
State University Medical school. .
Patients could be brought to thia in
stitution from any part of the state, as
it would be a state Institution. . They
could be treated free of chargo, while
the state would be compensated In the
clinical training these operations would
furnish the state medical students.
