Total. ........................ sos, 900
At the same time the Norfolk hos
pital calls for S129,900 for main
tsnance and $52, 800 for improve
ments. Among the latter is the in
evitable new wing, without which
biennial luxury the life of the average
hospital superintendent would be q
dreary waste. The Hastings asylum
asks for $Sl, 800 for maintenance, and
will take its wing this year in the form
of an appropriation of $4,000 for last
years deficiency. The grand total
asked for the maintenance and improve
ment of the hospitals for the next two
years is S552, 500 OF this sum it is pro-
posed to expend Sl42,5OO for i'm
provements and $4,000 for de-
ficiencies The cost of mainten-
ance and the item for deficiencies
must, of course, be met, but the legisla-
ture should make very careful exami-
nation of the proposed improvements
before it appropriates dollar for them.
The average taxpayer has the impress
sion that whom the state has made lib
eral appropriation orthese institutions
year after year, and that when it has
trebled their accommodations within
four years, there can be no legitimate
demand for the expenditure of tens of
thousands of dollars for further i'm
provements at this time. The demand
for new wings on the Lincoln hospital
appears positively ineXhaustible. Many
of the patients OF that institution have
been removed to Hastings and Norfolk
during the past two years, where ex-
pensive buildings were erected for their
| accommodation, but the call for new
wings, new gymnasiums, new $4,000
| fences, new kitchens and new laundrie
goes on forever. II is time to make a
| thorough Investigation of the whole sub
| ject, and learn how far we are likely tc
ing for improvements for which we have
faithfully endeavored to provide at each
biennial session of the legislature.

THE CARE OF THE INSANE.

The reports of the superintendents of
the hospitalsfor the insane have finally
been laid before the legislature. They
should be carefully studied, They re-
veal the somewhat interesting fact that
the demands for improvements at the
original hospital at Lincoln keep up to
the old standard, Notwithstanding that
in the past four years the state has spent
many thousands of dollars to build and
equip two other institutions in order to
relieve the pressure on the Lincoln hos
pital.

THE revised bill chartering railroad
and wagon bridge located between Far
nam and Howard streets, is the most i'm
portant of the measures designed to per-
manently raise Omaha's commercial en-
barge. The location is infinitely supe-
rior to any yet suggested, as it would
land the railroads in the heart of the
city. The first cost of terminal facilities
would be overbalanced by convenience
and accessibility. Apart from this great
advantage, the proposed bridge would
give the twin cities the much needed
motor and wagon competition and force
reduction of the tolls now exacted.
This competition can not be had from
the interstate bridge. The people of
both cities are vitally concerned in Sc
curing adequate bridge competition
which the proposed structure would en-
sure, and should actively support the
efforts of the congressional delegation to
secure the passage of the bill.

AMONG the many petty grabs on the
city treasury, that of the acting mayors
stands at the head. Before the late
''watchful and vigilant mayor took Of
fee, the charter provided that in case
of absence from the city the mayors sal
ary for the time should be paid the act
ing mayor. This clause mysteriously
disappeared from the charter two years
ago. Now the mayor draws his salary,
whether performing the duties of the
Office or not. The practice of the presi-
dent or acting president of the council
in demanding pay for playing mayor is
dlscreditable. 1t is petty grab, unwor-
thy of men, all the more so because
the defacto mayor draws his salary
as councilman at the same time. Last
year the city paid Councilman Chaffee
1888 % for this work and the beneficiary
did not scruple to draw his full salary
as councilman. The principle of pay
ing two officials for the same work, or
allowing an official to draw two salaries
at the same time is contrary to public
policy and should be promptly stopped

Ex-cnNEEnERArE MEETING.

NEW YORK, Jan. l9.-The first annual
dinner of the Confederate veteran camp OIL
New York, at the New York hotel tonight,
brought together many men from all parts
of the Union. This sald 10
be the first ex-Confederate or,

p Fitch. Col. Charles Marshall. Gen. fltz
John Porter, Gen. w. Mclean, Hon. John
J.. Wise. Hon. c. S. Baker and Bishop

The mention of the name of Gen. Grant
brought forth cheer after cheer. His name
WAS spoken with that of Lee, and alternate
cheers were given for the memory of these
two great generals.
Col Charles Martin, of Gen. Lees staff,
touched upon the final surrender of their
gallant Lee TO Gen. Grant: ''There is
more magnanimous than the conduct of
Gen. L. S Grant at the final surrender of
the Confederate army" said Col Martin in
conclusion. This was received with cheer
after cheer and shouts of "let us build
his monument" AS Col Marshal took
his seat Thomas A Young sprang to
table and shouting at the top of his voice
said that he wished to pledge the energy
of every member of the eX-Confederate
camp to complete the monument of Gen.
Grant. His sentiments was loudly ap
plauded. The entire body arose aud in
silence drank to the memory of this great
general of the north
Another agreeable surprise was
the presence of Miss Winnie Davis,
''the daughter of the confederacy." She
graced with her presence this first annual
dinner of this confederate veteran camp.
At the close of the dinner she entered the
banquet hall on the arm Of Commander
Dickinson, the presi ing officer of the
evening, and accompanied by the Duchess
DauXy. Her entrance was the signal for
an outburst of applause and the ban
quetters, rising to their feet, greeted the
fair guest with the rebel yell, which was
given with a will and energy not equalled
since the days of rs. She and the duchess
a seat of honor at the COM

Why does not some enterprising per.
son establish an intelligence Office where
it will be possible to hire fractional serv.
ants?
Every housekeeper knows that the
work of a household seldom comes out
in terms of an even number of servants.
There is always little too much for the
servants to do or not enough. II there
are two maids there is generally work
enough to occupy the time of about two
and a half; If there are six servants
there is not more than would suffice to
keep FIVE and quarter busy, and in gen
eral terms there is never an exact agree
ment between the labor to be performed
and the persons hired 70 perform it.
Now all this could be obyiated by the
plan Of having an Office for fractional
servants. This might be accomplished
in one Of two WAYS. Either the time Of
a single person might be distributed
among different houses, or those servants
who are in reality only equal 70 about
half the work real servant would do,
could be properly estimated and let out
as half servants, quarter servants. or
whatever fraction really suited their
case.
The idea Is not so whimsical as il
might at first seem, and it is certainly
one the carrying out Of which would re-
heve the mind of many housewife Of
no inconsideTable burden.-Bosion CoU-

WANT HIM LYNCHED.

KANSAS CITY. No, Jan. l9.-The pre-
liminary trial of a J. Wagner. who is
said to be the masked bandit who shot
and killed Saloon Keeper McShane last
week was set for 10 o'clock this morninp.
At that hour an angry crowd of McShane' :
friends gathered about the stairway lead
ing TO the Justices Office, determined TO
capture the prisoner and lynch him.
Chief Speers, of the police force, after
surveying the crowd decided that he did
not have sufficient reserve force to protect
the prisoner. The trial was, therefore
postponed until ? o'clock this afternoon.
The crowd, however hung around the
Justices office until the latter hour and
seemed rs determined as ever to have
W6goner's life The trial was. therefore.
postponed until next Monday morning.

A SCHOOL FOR HAIRDRESSlNG.
A New York Barber Who Teaches Maids
How to Use the Brush and Comb.

A New York Barber Who Teaches Maids
How to Use the Brush and. Comb.
| Perhaps the latest thing in the educa-
tional line in this city was inaugurated
Monday. 1t is a school for hairdressers.
1t started with big class of ambitious
young women, and the indications are
that many more will join. Women only
are to be admitted to these classes, and
the subjects of instruction will be linn
tied to the dressing of ladies' hair. The
pupils will be taught how to comb,
brush, shampoo, crimp, curl, SINCE, plait
and arrange the hair of women. They
will be instructed by experienced hair
dressers, and when they are graduated
they will be able to do all that a compe-
tent "ladies' barber" can. The course
will cover two weeks, and will comprise
twelve lessons. The tuition is to be $40
for the course.
$50 many young women have asked
me to teach them the art of dressing
hair" said the owner of the place the
other day, ''that l was forced to open
the school or use up all my time teach
ing them separately. Mosh who wist to
learn are ladies' maids. You see, it
greatly adds to their value when they
are able to dress their mistresses' hair
properly. l do not think that there will
be any difficulty in teaching them in
two weeks time all that is necessary for
them to know. l have several compe-
tent assistants and L shall superintend
the work. The pupils will practice first
on dummy wooden heads fitted with
wigs. They are just as good to learn
upon as the real head"
'And can the girls become artistic
hairdressers in so short time:"
That depends entirely upon how
much natural taste they may have 1t
is like any other art; to excel in it one
must have a natural aptitude for it.
Hairdressing requires taste. may be
able to teach young woman the me-
chanical arrangement of a coiffure, but
l cannot teach her just what coiffure is
best suited TO a certain face. That re-
quires a natural taste and many years
of observation and practice. But will
give my pupils much technical knowl-
edge and such hints for self instruction
that they may practice to advantage
after they leave the school The school
is my own idea. | do not know of an
other one in New York. l believe that
it will prove success and that its inhu-
ence will be felt"
"Win you teach to bleach and dye
hair?''
If the pupils wish to learn the higher
branches of the art they may do so Of
course after they have mastered the reg
ular course. But that is something for
after consideration; the main thing now
is to start the school -pld begin the work
l have now about thirty pupils to begin

ADESPERATE ROBBFR

PARIS, Jan. ia decided sensation
was one of the features of Sunday at
Courcelles A desperate man who had
been seen during the day lowering around
the booking Office of the railroad depot at
Courcelles, suddenly crept up 20 the Office
window where women clerk was the
only person on duty. The man, after as
suring himself that there was nobody in
ms immediate vicinity, quickly thrust
bis hand through the window, seized a
handful of cash ana darted away before
the cashier had sufficiently recovered from
her CONSERVATION TO be able to raise an
alarm. When the cashier finally recovered
her voice she used it TO such good purpose
in shouting: stop thiefl' that police
man was soon in pursuit He caught up
10 the rascal and threw him to the ground.
\ fierce struggle between the policeman
and his prisoner followed, during which
the latter managed to pull long, sharp
pointed knife from his pocket and plunge
q into the policeman's breast. The police
man sank fainting TO the ground and the
5hiei and wOuld-be murderer made another
ittempt to escape The crowd of people
then around the wounded officer seized the
thief and held him until other policemen
arrived upon the scene, when he was
handed iuto their custody. The wounded

DYNAMITE BOMBS

PARIS, Jan. 19.-Private kilograms of a
most alarming nature have been received
here from Leghorn, it being understood
that the regular press means of communi-
cation have passed into the control of the
police authorities of that city for the pres
eut. According to the messages referred
to several dynamite cartridges were eX-
ploded almost simultaneously on Saturday
in the immediate vicinity OF the various
residences of number of wealthy resi-
dents of Legho-n. Further details are not
obtainable at present, but it is said that
the Italian police attribute the outrage to
well planned anarchist plot, which was
to have led to a riot and the sacking of the
portion of the city where the explosions
occurred.

THE VII SON Bill.

NNTON, Ia. Jan 19-In the case of State
VS.. Hotf, Judge Kinney held that the Wilson
bill was constitutional and the Iowa pro-
hibitory law in force as to imported liq-
uors. Judge Kinney says: The right of
congress to permit the states to regulate
or prohibit the sale of liquor in original
packages is clearly and repeatedly recog-
nized and stated in LuSey vs..
Hardin. The Wilson bill is not
retroactive. 1t does not undertake to
make criminal acts done before its enact
ment. The laws must be construed in the
light of existing circumstances, and the
evil sought to be remedied. The Iowa
liquor law was always in force of as to do
mestic liquor, but, prior to the passage of
the Wilson bill, in-operative as to original
packages. The bill simply brings these
within the jurisdiction of the state and
the application of the existant law"

KANSAS CITY ENsMAIIEn

JEFFERSON CITY. No. Jan. l9.-The su-
preme court decided this morning the Kan.
VAS City extension case adversely to the
atty. The court decided that. inasmuch a.
the limits OF the city were defined by the
charter that to extend the limits Il would
be necessary TO amend the charter. The
attempted extension was by an ordinance
passed by the common council last sum
mer. This decision will leave the city
with more than twenty square miles less
of territory, and Will cause a great deal OF
complication in the city improvements
which have been done under the extension
ordinance. 4 question will probably
arise as 10 whether the present mayor Is
the legal executive Of the city. aud will
call into question the legality Of all busi-
ness doue by the council, as both the
mayor aud council are the creations of the
city, including the extended portions.
