NO MORE DOPE AT PENITENTIARY
Warden Beemer viii Take Measures
to Prevent the Distribution of
Opium to Prisoners.

Lincoln, Jan. 26.-Warden Beemer
has made arrangements for the install
lation of wire screen in the chapel
of the state penitentiary, where the
convicts are permitted to see visitors.
It's purpose is to keep callers from
passing opium and other forms of
dope" to the convicts. Hereafter all
visitors will have to be content to talk
to the convicts through the screen.
Under the practice in vogue during
the past there was no obstacle in the
way of wholesale transfers of the drug
to the prisoners. No pretense was
made of searching visitors, it is said,
because of the obvious difficulty of the
task of doing it effectively. In this
way person with large quantities of
the drug, concealed on his person
might easily pass the guards and the
turnkey, when it might be handed to
the convict designated to receive it.

aside from hack drivers and station
men.
BY the time the Northwestern trains
from Lincoln and Bonesteel pulled in,
a number of citizens were at the sta
ton. The train men and passengers
looked considerably pleased as they
dismounted from the cars and walked
across the smooth brick platform to
get to the new depot.
Mayor WOLF secured couple of sou.
venirs of the opening in the shape of
the first two tickets sold from the
union station. He bought one to

ORDERS FIRE ESCAPES ERECTED
City Attorney koenlgsten Serves Mo-
tces for Labor Commissioner Bush
on Norfolk Property Owners.

City Attorney Koenigstein Is just
now serving notices on the owners
and agents of owners of Norfolk's
three.story buildings that have been
issued by Commissioner of Labor Bert
Bush of Lincoln, requiring the erection
of fire escapes and iron stairways.
After the service of these notices
the owners will be given sixty days
in which to comply with the law, and
II Is probable that they will proceed
at once to make the necessary i'm
provements to the buildings without
a need of legal processes. A copy
of the law accompanies the notices,
together with plans and specifications
for the erection of the required work,
and application blanks for permission
from the labor commissioners to pro-
ceed with the improvements.
According to Commissioner Bush's
Interpretation of the law there are
four buildings requiring fire escapes,
and he has made the following de-
mands from the owners:
For the Marquardt block-One sin.
gle ice-proof wrought iron or steel

A MIX-UP OF FIVE MURPHYS
Murphey, Murphi, Murphay and Plain
Murphy In Scramble to Answer
the Telephone.

1t was only an innocent telephone
message but 1t created a commotion
resembling football rush in the lobby
of the OXnard this noon, and resulted
in the dislocation of a mans ankle.
"Mr. Murphy wanted at the tele-
phone" sang out a bell boy as he
passed through the lobby.
There was wild scramble for the
boy by no less than four men hailing
from widely different parts of the
United States. and each of whom rec
ognized the name as his own.
p. 7. Murphey of New York made
SO much haste that he slipped upon
the smooth floor and was helped to
a convenient chair, having twisted
his ankle; at the same time T. S. Muir
phi of Philadelphia disentagled him
self from a mass of newspapers, and
bumped unceremoniously into the ro-
tund person of Mr.. Michael Murphay
of Houston, Texas. These two glared
ferociously at each other as they
rushed side by side for the phone:
ria, Ill.,, rushed from the dining room
and tumbled over the excited bell boy
who had thus far successfully lodged
the various Murhys who had answered
his call
After the gathering of Murphys had
been pulled apart, and apologies ex-
changed, tall individual wearing a
broad trimmed sombrero hat perched
on the back of his head, who had ev-
identity viewed the scene with interest
and amusement, sauntered up from
the cigar stand. He took the memo
randum from the boys hand, and af-
ter glancing at it, turned to the Muir
phys present, and remarked: "The
message is evidently for me. I'm
Tim Murphy. If you'll wait minute
I'll answer the telephone and then, as
I'm from Missouri III be glad to have
you show me the way to the bar that
we may drink to better acquaintance" ."
Wen wait, said the Murphys in a
chorus.
