Lexington Has Industry that
shows Much Enterprisc.

LEXINGTON Neb., Dec. 19.-(Special Tel
egram)-The Dawson County Pioneer in its
last issue has the following editorial: 1T
Is probable that but few people in Lexington
or Dawson county realize the amount of
business transacted by the Lexington Mill
and Elevator company of this city. The
reputation Of the mill for turning out first
class products is not confined to Nebraska
alone, but extends over a great portion Of
the United States, carload lots being sent
north south. east and west while consid
cradle quantity finds ready sale in markets
in Europe. The company has shipped since
July 20 last to December 261 carloads of
grain and grain products. From July 20 to
September eighty-one carloads were
shipped; during September forty cars; Octo-
ber eighty-nine: November, ffty-one These
were all carload lots and do not include
the many smaller shipments of less than a
carload.
1T is certainly a fattering tribute to the
business management of the mill to know
the wide and favorable reputation which
Lexington -four enjoys all over the west and
every citizen of our town also undoubtedly
feels just local pride in the wide success
achieved by home enterprise"

LINCOLN, Dec. 19.-(Special. Holiday
week usually given over to rest and recrCa-
tion by the heads OF departments in the
state capitol, promises to be busy time
with Governor Holcomb. 1t is expected that
during that festive period a large portion of
the work on his forthcoming message to
the legislature will be accomplished Pri-
yate Secretary Maret says there will be no
inaugural message, and the one document
will cover the entire ground. Delay in re-
ceiving reports from state officers, from
which to compile his message, accounts for
the extra work entailed upon the executive
office during the holidays, These reports are
now under way, and some of the copy is in
the hands of the printer. 1t is understood
that the governor will in his message coun-
sci against any radical legislation. The gov
ernor will lay great stress on economy and
a prompt investment of the public funds in
interest bearing bonds. This. OF course. is
not in the province of the legislature, but
1t is possible to bring 1t within the juris-
diction OF that body by future legislation,
which legislation may be recommended by
the governor.
Ex-Governor Pattison OF Pennsylvania and
party passed through the city today and
to Governor Holcomb. The Pennsylvanians
were on their return from a trip to the
Black Hills. where Governor Pattison has
extensive mining interests.

commandant of the Soldiers home at this

of 100 inmates, which is nearly the present

The government pays into the state treas
ury 800 per annum for each member cared

amount to $4,000 on 100 members for two
years. leaving a balance the state would
actually pay of 5000.
The cost of rations per day for each mem
ber of the home since January l has been

LINCOLN Dec. 49, Especial )--The report
OF william a. Jones superintendent Of the
Nebraska Institution for the Blind, was re-
ceivcd at the governors Office today and Is
the most volumlnous and elaborate report
submitted from any OF the state Institutions
comprising hfty-two pages OF typewriter
copy. 1t is also the last biennial report
from the various superintendents
AS the institution was in the hands OF
Profs. Ebrlght and Johnson portion of the
bennium covered by the report, Prof. Jones
says he can only report on the phases OF
the problem as | have been able to master
them since my assumption OF the duties OF
superintendent. The problem as it has pre-
sented itself to the writer may be stated
thus: Here is a large boarding house family
and school. Yet it IS not boarding house.
family or school, There are elements OF each
organization and elements which diferen-
tiato It from each. The administration OF
its affairs requires the recognition OF the
phases, boarding house, family and school
II also requires equal recognition OF the
phases in which 1t is neither boarding house
family nor school. IL Is probably suficient
for this report to point out the above facts
and to say that the effort Is made to recog-
niEe these likencsscs and dinerencies. a
failure to grasp this first phase OF study
would wreck the institution"
Each OF the various departments of the in
stitution Is treated in a very exhaustive
manner by Superintendent Jones and com

is given. The superintendent says: To carry
