The stori>s that every man who could handle a shovel had been pressed Into service and that they were working finy and night, while the women encouraged them by carrylng coffes and food while they workea, are ridiculous. These exag- gerated stories have brought inquiries from Insurance companies, who have threatened to ralse insurance rates.

OIL INSPECTOR TURNS IN A SURPLUS Governor Savage Explal State Happened Price on Th to Raise the (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 11.—(Special.)—In his blennial report to the governor of the In- dustrial School for Juveniles (boys) at Kearney Dr. J. V. Beghtol, superintendent, desires to correct the impression that the institution is a “reform school.” It is an industrial tralning school, the report sald, nd it is an unfortunate error that the fdea exists that an odiom attaches to the name of the boy who is sent there, Boys are not sent there for punishment, but for guidance.’ “Some ambiguity of the law exists which irregular in certain cases and it is hoped the legislature will make the law plain,” Dr. Beghtol adds. Of the religious training at the school the report says the services are conducted by five chaplains, who are residents of Kearney and who alternate. Sunday sehool 1s church service each Sunday afternoon. At present there are 145 boys in the school. On February 1, 1897, there were 225 boys and on February 1. 1901, there were 125 boys. The superintendent ac- | counts for the decrease by indiscriminate parole, regardless of demerits cancelled or home environments. The total appropriation for the two years was $92,700 and the amount axpended from April 1, 1901, to June 1, 1902, was $62,5672.67. The average monthly expenditure wi 84, 469.47. The balance on hand to pay ex- penses from June 1, 1902, to April 30, 1903, is $30,127.33. Dr. Beghtol estimates that it will cost $99,000 to conduct the affairs of the in- stitution during the next blennium. Norfolk Asylum Report. Dr. Frederick F. Teal of the Norfolk Hospital for the Insane in his report filed | with the governor calls attention to the success of the homeopaths and their treat- ment of disease at that institution. The death rate since homeopathic treatment has been introduced, said the report, wi lowest in the history of the institution, being only 3.05 per cent. There were 265 inmates in the hospital December 1, 1601, and sixty-nine new ones admitted during the year. A total of 369 cases were treated during the year. The report contains a complete history of the fire and to that attributes the in- creased cost per capita to $236.02. At pre ent on the roll of the Lospital there are three names and these persons are at their homes on parole. The disposition of the patients has been as follows: Lincoln hos- pital, 128; Hastings, 135; cured, 84; died, 19; home on parole, 3. Dr, Teal reports the value of state prop- erty at Norfolk to be $125,000, and he rec- ommends the hospital be rebuilt to accom- modate 350 persons. The appropriation received was $174,000; expenditure from December 1 to April 1, 1901, $18,621.71; from April 1, 1901, to De- cember §, 1902, $36,700.35. Surplus from Oil Inspection.

Solomon of Chicago has again been elected president of the Ni tional Council of Jewish Women. Again the Chicago Woman's club has fallen under the disfavor of the other clubs of the state and this time for no other reason than that it happens to include in its membership two women whose ability has made them ‘valuable to the General Federation to the extent of occasion- ing their appointment to positions on national committees, an homor that the executive board neglected to confer upon any other club of the state.

Among the chief matters considered by the first annual convention of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, held last month in Winston-Salem, were rural schools and village improvement. It has been left with Mrs. May Wright Sewell to decide whether the next meeting of the International Councll of Women will be held in Berlin or in Dresden. thought the meeting should be held in Germany, as the quintennial convention is to be held in Berlin, and taking advantage of this fact some contention has arisen be- tween factions.

Governor Savage said this afternoon that the coal had been purchased at the In- creased price because the coal company was doing its best to fill ite contracts, and because of that he saw no reason to take dvantage of the company and cause it to lose money. Candidates for Adjutant General. Among the men who would be willing to spend most of their time looking after the duties of the office of the adjutant gen. eral, friends of Dr. R. W. Giffen of this eity have added his name. Dr. Giffen dur- ing the Spanish-American brush was ap- pointed by President McKinley as chiet surgeon of volunteer: he established a good reputation among military men. Among the othes candi- dates who have been announced some time ar Major T. F. Wilson of Geneva, Major Lyons of Norfolk and Frank Ringer, cap- tain of Company F, Second National Guards.

An organization sald to be the qldest woman's club in America has recently cele- brated its elghtieth anniversary in Bald- winsville, New York, and its name the Female Charitable association, would seem to justity its claim of continuous work since 1822, The reform depariment of the Chicago Woman's club has projected the bullding of a hospital for children and a meeting of the entire club has been caljed to arrange the details of the enterprise. A large number of women whe did serv- ice as nurses in the Spanish-American war were in attendance last week in Washing- ton, D. C., at the annual convention of the Spanish-American War Nurses' association. The meeting was held in the red parlor of the Ebbitt House and Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee presided. In addition to the women there were a number of distinguished visy itors representing the army and navy. Greetings were recelved from the Daugh- ters of t Revolution and other prominent women's organizations. The nurses were received at the White House and were taken for a number of pleasant excureions about the city. The asnual meetl ¢ end election of of- | has been acting president during Mrs. Hel-_ planning a Christmas party for December and the mothers are to be the guests. Mrs. Robert Burdette of Los Angeles, Cal., vice president of the General Federa- tion of Women's Clubs, was in the city this week. The South Omaha members of the Home Queen’s Circle club entertained at a card party on Wednesday afternoon, the pro- ceeds of which are to go to the circle. The announcement of the decision of the executive committee of the General Federa- tion of Women's Clubs to hold the next blennial in St. Louls is being discussed with satisfaction not unmixed with severe eriticism. Ordinarily St. Louls would af- ford exceptional advantages as a meeting place, owing to its location, facilities and its strong local clubs, but with an exposi- tion on in the city at that time the wisdom of the board’s decision 18 to be questioned. As & matter of fact, the exposition s the bone of contention. It Is pointed out by some that the fair will only be an addi- tional attraction and advantage, occasion- ing as it will a reduction of rates that will make the convention possible to hundreds of clubs and delegates who could not other- wise afford the trip, and will enable the women to embrace two great educational featurgs instead of onme, while the mi sionary work in the cause of women will be invaluable. All of this is true enough, but there are those who are viewing the matter from another side. There are few who have attended the previous conven- tions who are not familiar with the incon- venlence and annoyance occasioned by those desirable quarters, but has not as yet had anything very desirable offered. There should be three or four acres of ground and a house that can readilly be converted into | one suited to the needs of the growing work. The place shculd not be more than a block from the car line, as the aged ones | cannot walk far, but must be able to get | out at times. It should be within walking distance of & church, have a nice lawn, with plenty of shade trees, garden and poultry end cow yards. Some of those living in the home are anxious to do some outdoor work and with large grounds this can be encouraged. The association has never been in so good a financial condition as at present, having about §3,000 on hand for a new bulldicg and $1,000 for current ex- penses. The property on Burt street is free from incumbrance, as are the two lots in Dundee belonging to the orgunization. These can be tarned account in securing another place if necessary. Is there not some lib. eral hearted man or woman who will either donate in full or in part the propeyty needed to carry on this good work? Will some one willing to sell ground answering these needs communicate with the presi- dent of the assoctation, Mrs. George Tilden, 124 South Nineteenth street, or with the chairman of the Old People's Home, Mrs. P. L. Perine, 1920 Dodge street, and it will be considered at once? Donations toward & suitable building are solicited, so the trustees may know how valuable a property they can purchase. As this is for a perm: nent home the association will not con- sider anything bat desirable property, in & go0d nelghborhood, | Morrison Case and Goes 1 to Jail. ELDORADO, Kan., Dec. 11.—J. C.
