thusiastie meeting held Friday night at
the Baptist church, This meeting was for
the purpose Of launching the membership
campaign, and was participated In by a
large number of men and boys, who were

the ten-day campaign for raising money

the opinion that II Lincoln and Fort Dodge

lieutenant, are 10 work for new members,

tFrom a staff correspondent.l

LINCOLN, Nov. 7-Cspeclal)-The only
answer Superintendent woooard made to
a request for an explanation or a voucher
on file in the office Of the state auditor
showing that the state had paid the
freight on a box shipped from Aurora to
his son was this:
Let him shoot his wad."
DIT. Woodland had been INFORMED that his
recently deposed bookkeeper, Felix New
ton. had dug up the voucher and called the
attention Of the public to It. Attached to
The voucher was the freight bill show
ing that the box had been shipped to
Frank Woodland, son OF the superintendent,
from Aurora. The charge amounted to
only IS cents. 1t was shown that the
voucher for the amount was riled for DR..
Woodland.
Newton this morning consulted IN at
torney to find out II a suit could be sus-
tanned against DR.. Woodland 10 prevent him
from firing him or cause himself to be
relnstated. mot because said Felix, Il
desire the Job, but in order to get into a
court record some Of the deals that have
been carried out at the asylum" The at
torney is to give Newton an answer Mon
day.
Newton said he has kept a daily jour
nal of what he considers questionable
work done at the asylum and he is in a
position, he said, to make the people OF
the state rise up in their wrath and force
the resignation Of the head Of the institu-
tion.
Newton brought a story to the state
house this afternoon which he told to
show the loose methods of the manage
ment Of the asylum. Relatives OF Henri
eta Sapp of Papillion, he said, deposited
money with the institution TO pay for
the removal of her body to her home,
she being at the time very sick. After
her death, he said, she was buried at the
asylum. Three or more days later the
relatives heard of this and asked the in
stltution for an explanation. The body

Two dozen sawed off telephone poles are

and while he was gone twenty-five poles
We're set. lt.,.
During Saturday night the opponents Of
the new line sawed down every pole.

LINCOLN, Nov. DISQUALIFICATION SUI
preHe court adjourns tomorrow evening II
Ia very probable some Important cases
will nave been decided. The opinions were
held up for several days because both
Judge Barnes and Judge Root were called
out Of the city, each to act as a witness
in some litigation.
That the decision in the case involving
the Legality Of the Normal board act will
come down there Isl every reason to be-
lieve. When this case is decided the board
which is held to be legal will at once take
steps to let the contract for the construc-
ton of a 35O,0O wing at the Kearney
Normal school and to take over the Wayne
Normal school, for which the state made
an appropriation. Salaries OF teachers have
been held up since last May pending the
decision. In most instances, however, this
money has been advanced by the principals
OF the schools or by arrangement with
local banks. other bills have not been
paid, so there will be great rejoicing when
the decision is finally made, regardless Of
which board is the legal board.
Winding Up the Campaign.
Chairman Hayward of the republican
state committee win shortly call the com
mittee, or the executive committee, to
meet at the headquarters and finally wind
UP the affairs Of the campaign.
Just how long Mr.. Hayward will hold
onto the c%hairmasship is pr~oblematical. He
has said he has enough Of the job for the
present, and Clyde Barnard, secretary, says
the same thing, but neither will hazard an
opinion OF what the coming year win bring
forth or whether they will be compelled to
hang on and conduct the next campaign.
Mr.. Hayward is planning an extensive
southern trip some time the first Of the
year, and the duration Of his stay may
a something to do with his determine
ton to retire from the Craftsmanship, or
to hold II through the next campaign.
Secretary Barnard has private interests
which demand considerable Of his time just
now and he has made the statement that
being secretary Of the state committed
takes considerable time, to say nothing OF
the amount of worry and hard work with
out appreciation.

rushed wildly into the police station last

other persons, who he said had robbed
him Of IS after he had pilOted them to a
drink shop In dry Lincoln. When ques.
toned regarding the location of the drink
shop the man became as though locoed
and did not point out the spot. His story
was hat he met two men, who asked him
where the drinks could be had. n hi
agreed to pilot them to a place. When they
got there he pulled out a IS bill to pay fol-
the drinks. One Of the men took the bill
to see II II was good and at once disap
peAred.

''Monte Cristo."

Dumas Monte Cristo," the play
that will be seen at the city opera
house on Friday, May Z, has always
contained all the fascinating interest
which surrounds human misery,
love and herioc qualities Of
men and women since the great
novelist conceived this story OF
Napoleonic days.
Frederic Clarke and Company
are putting on the drama with a
strong cast. The company is well
equipped with special scenic effects
and in addition to all that is best
in stage craft a personnel that is
seldom found. Mr.. Clarke is a
finished actor of much experience
and accurately portrays the unfortun-
ate young lover who has condemned
to live the balance Of his life in an
underground cell for state reasons
in France. A thread of love strongly
developed runs through the story
and trilling interest is readily pre-
served.
