GRAVE NEGLECT.
The Soldiers and Sailors Home at
Grand Island scored.

Grand Island scored.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 27.-Land Commits
sioner Russell had occasion recently
to visit the Soldiers and Sailors home
at Grand Island on some matter of bus
ness. While there he was accosted by
q large number of inmates. both male
and female, who poured into his ears
q sorry tale with reference to the pre-
sent management of the home.
AS these were by no means the first
complaints that had reached him, Mr..
Russell, deeming it his duty as a repre-
sentative of the board of public lands
and buildings, proceeded to the women's
wing of the building, and there made
what he characterized as a shocking
discovery OF the ~inadequacy of the
clothing m food supplied the old wo-
men.
In the hospital, especially, he says,
were the conditions deplorable, many
an aged woman having little or no
clothing suitable to the fall and winter
season. The condition Of the GONZALES
cents who We're too i'll to be out of an
infirmary and too we'll, according to
the rules Of the institution, to be enter
ed to treatment to the hospital, was,
he asserts, pitiable in the extreme;
and all over the institution, from men
and ONE alike, came an appeal for
better food and enough clothing to keep
them warm and half way respectable
in appearance.
y The board of public lands and build
ings has ordered an investigation. The
c~olnmandant of the home is an appoin-
lee of Governor Holcomb.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 24.-With a

the floor unconscious and Harry made
another effort to cut him, but was too
weak, dropping beside his enemy on
the CORY ground. 1t is not believed eth

Manchester, N. H., is likely to pay a
big price for the reckless folly shown in
cutting down all the forests along the
Merrimac. The consequence is that the
river I'll almost dry in summer and
winter, While every spring n fall is
marked by destructive flood. Unless
this condition of affairs is soon changed
the great A~moskeag mills will have to
substitute steam for water power, and

the company, is doubtful if it could
then compete with factories in tide
water cities, like Fall River and New
Bedford, where the cos Of coal is not
increased by railroad transportation.
