LINCOLN. Aug 5.-(speciai.)-AlI bids
for additional construction and repair work
at the state penitsntiary were rejected by
the Board Of Public Lands and Buildings
this afternoon. the figures quoted being re-
garded as too high. especially In view Of
the fact that there are no funds available
for the purpose. The offers of the con-
TRACTORS ranged from sa4, 900 to sss. 900.
we have abandoned the plan Of finishing
the buildings thia year said Land Com
missioner Foilmer. I'VE agreed that the
expense was too great under the circum-
stances and therefore decided to take no
further steps in the matter. The admin
istration building. now in course OF con-
Btruction and the west dollhouse viii be
put IN the best possible condition with
the money at hand and the next Legislature
Will have TO do the rest"
Mr.. Follmer said there was not enough
money left IN the construction fund with
which to finish the administration building.
Its walls can be completed and the atruc-
ture properly enclosed, but the interior
will necessarily be neglected. The cell
building win be fitted UP with a new
roof and probably be used to house q
small number Of c~onvicts. but the ether
building cannot be occupied for any pur-
pose.

The other passengers were badly fright

have been seen in possession of sympath-
izers. There have been quite a number
of arrests of persons charged with attack
ing the ears. Business men say they are
losing thousands of dollars daily on
account of the strike.

of the strike no support save from those
