War on Cash Funds.
LINCOLN-If Governor Mickey does

LINCOLN-n Governor Mickey does
not make war in cash funds which
have been created at state institutions
without color Of law. 1t II believed
Governor Sheldon may have some
thing to say to the Legislature In his
inaugural message. Fifteen years ago
. cash fund 1t q state institution was
the exception. Now nearly every in
stitution has from a few hundred dol
lars to $1,000 or 5000 in cash which
it is said ought to be In the state
treasury. The money is derived from
the sale of state property, but instead
Of depositing the money in the state
treasury. the heads Of state institu-
tions retain 1t and spend 1t to suit
themselves. There is no authority of
law for the creation Of such funds.
The practice has grown up by per-
mission of governors and boards of
public lands and buildings. Either the
governor who appoints heads Of state
institutions. or the board Of public
lands and buildings which passes on
the expenditures Of such appointees.
can stop the practice. Both author
tiles have given tacit consent to the
practice and 1t IL assuming consider
able proportions.

A. to Dipsomaniae Law.

LINCOIIN-An effort is being made
By Dr.. J. T. Hay, superintendent Of
the Lincoln hospital for the insane.
% llnd out just how much benefit the
dipsomaniac law passed ut the session
of the legislature two yeafs ago has
proved. DR.. Hay has sent out in
quiries to the intimate friends of the
$50 men and women who have been
treated ut the hospital since the pas
cage of the law, either for the drink
Or drug habit On the answers to
these letters his statistics will be
based. Some of the replies already
received show that permanent cures
have been effected by the treatment
ct the asylum. Others tell sad stories
Of backsliding on the part Of the pa
tients into the old habits.
Dr.. Fay declares 1t to be his flrm
belief that In most Of the cases in
which the treatment has been proved
% be Of but transient benefit, the fault
o mainly to the mistaken zeal Of the
friends Of the patient. Often, rs soon
as the liquor o. drug has been entirely
withdrawn from the patient and he Is
beginning to exist In comparative
peace without 1t his friends begin to
elAm0r to have him sent home. This.
Or. Hay says. y . serious mistake. He
believes that patients In the dipso-
0aniac ward should be kept In the
hospital for at least year after the
liquor or drug they crave has been
entirely withdrawn from them. In
that time the weakened power Of the
patient vii have Q chance to reassert
itself and he viii have much less dim
Guilty IN resisting temptation than. he
would n removed from restraint With,
a two or three months.

No Passes to Land Agents.
OMAHA-The power of the inter-
state commerce commission to change
conditions in an entire community by
an enforcement of the new law was
brought out forcibly Saturday. when
the Union Pacific railroad decided.
upon advice Of the legal department,
to recall all passes issued to land
agents Immediately. Representatives
of the passenger departments of all
western roads met with the commits
sion q week ago Friday in Washing.
ton, and on q complaint of the Illinois
Central to test the commission on
that subject, the commission, while
not making q ruling, conveyed the idea
and expressed the sentiment inform
ally that the granting Of free trans
portation to land agents was unlaw-
full.
Gerrit Fort, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Union Pacific, re-
turned from the east Saturday, and in
regard to the question of land agents
said:
The passenger department Of the
Union Pacific has consulted with the
legal department and has decided i'm
mediately to annuI the passes Of land
agents. We are teiegraphing to all
We can reach today and will stop all
as soon a. We can get to them. We
consider it unfortunate the commits
sion took this view Of the matter. As
the stoppage Of free transportation
will have q tendency to retard prog
ress in western Nebraska, which new
er had better prospects than at pres
ent. We had several hundred agents
who worked 1t this work exclusively"
