INSANE MAN ENDS LIFE.
Patient From Colfax County Stransles
Himself With Strip of Sheet.

Joseph Opatril, farmer from Col
fax county who was brought to the in
sane hospital about ten days ago, end
ed his life by hanging himself with a
strip of bed sheet in his room during
the night. He tied the strip Of sheet
ing to a window bar, wrapped 1t
around his neck, dropped to his knees
and strangled. The peculiar feature
of the case was that the man had
shown no suicidal symptoms either
here or at home before coming here
1t was apparently a momentary i'm
pulse that seized him. Coroner Kin.
dred was notified and arrived from
Meadow Grove, but announced that
there was really no need of an inquest
Nobody was to blame in any way
The patient had been sleeping and an
attendant had looked in upon him only
ten minutes before he was found life
less.

criminality and immortality among the
negroes" he said, land it remains with
us to change present conditions so that
the negroes will become a helpful fac

pot flled with bright shining yellow
metal which proved to be gold coin.
The reason the pot was so deep was
that the hill kept washing down and
filling the cave up and It was dug out
higher each time. The son refused to
say how much money there was and
took the first train north to join his
sister. 1t is intimated by those who
had chance to see the sack in which
the money was carried off that there
were several thousand dollars.

GIVE Up NORMAL SCHOOL
NORFOLK WiTHDRAWS IN FAVOR
OF HER NEIGHBoRs.
HOSPITAL PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
Bill Appropriating 100000 For I'M
provements at the institution is In
troduced and is Regarded Favorably
Because Soons Know Real Need.
fFrom Wednesdays Daily.l


Norfolk has withdrawn from the am
bition to be designated as n junior
normal school point, this action being
announced by c. +. Burnham, legisla-
tive representative of the Commercial
club, on his return from Lincoln at
noon. The withdrawal, said Mr.. Burn
ham, was taken out of regard for Nor
folks neighbors-Wayne Fremont and
Albion, two Of whom have normal
schools well established and the other
desiring to be selected as junior nor
nal school point. The bill appropriate
ing 100000 for Improvements at the
Norfolk insane hospital here was in
troduced in the house by Representa-
tive T. e. Anderson and will be given
attention by the house and senate COM
mlttees soon. 1t is said that pros
poets seem good for the bills passage,
because the legislators appreciate
thoroughly the needs of the institu-
ton.
Following are the items provided by
the bill: For woman's hospital build
ing $1,000; for male cottage, $4,000;
for store room and dormitory for en-
ployes, $4,000; for new modern and
scientific stable, $1,000.
Mr.. Burnham returned at noon and
DR.. Young, superintendent, returned
last night
Mr.. Burnham, who is chairman of
the jamestown commission. says that
the bill appropriating $4,000 for this
purpose has reached its second read
ing and will probably pass.
Concerning the sidetrack which it
has been proposed to build to the hos
pital the Lincoln correspondent of the
Omaha Bee says:
The railroad company which han
dies the freight into Norfolk has told
the state board of public lands and
buildings that it will construct a side
track to the asylum If the board will
secure the right-of-way. At this time
the board has an option on the right
of-way for $500 and the appropriation
will be asked for to pay the cost. Mr.
Burnham said the asylum authorities
are now paying so cents ton for haul
| ing coal to the asylum and all of the
freight used there has to be hauled
two and one-quarter miles. Since Jan.
uary it has cost $3.50 for hauling coal
alone to the asylum. Mr.. Burnham be-
lieves the state should lose no time in
buying this right-of-way as it will soon
pay for itself to say nothing of the
convenience.

Nebraska City, Neb., Feb. 20.-John
Olsen, for over thirty years section
foreman of the Burlington railway at
Minersville, the first station south of
this city, was very frugal and saved
his money. He and his wife both
saved. She kept boarders and in this
way they were both able to lay aside
considerable money. They were afraid
of banks and as soon as they secured
a few dollars they exchanged 1t for
gold and buried 1t. Some time ago his
wife died and about year ago he was
stricken with paralysis and his death
occurred few weeks ago. His son,
who had gone to Minnesota, came and
nursed him during his illness and af-
ter his death he and his sister left for
the north to make their future home,
