Deficits
Are in Prospect
at Institutions
Record of Expenditures So Far Does
Not Presage Good Showing
for Administration.
From a Staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Dec. A-(Special)-The condi
ton Of the maintenance funds Of the va
rious state institutions at the beginning Of
winter. after running seven months on the
new appropriations, indicates that unless
the heads Of the Institutions do some re-
trenching there will be a great big deficit
at the end Of the biennium. In all but a
few Of the Institutions the superlntendents
have exceeded the allowance for this period.
In some instances at the present rate the
deficit will be large.
The biggest deficits will be at the Lin
coin asylum, the two soldiers homes, the
penitentiary and the state public schools.
The heads Of the Institutions have carried
their charges through only the summer
months, so 1t is probable the deficit at the
end OF the winter months will be much
larger than now, as the expenses will be
much heavier The following table shows
the appropriations for the maintenance Of
the Institutions and the total amount spent
out OF that fund for the last seven months:

Supply OF Range Cattle Limited

Realization of the fact that the
unusual supply of grass beef from
the northwestern range is not at
their disposal this season is dawn
ing on the big packers. The cat
tie baron> that formerly ranged
their cattle herds on the public
domain of Wyoming, Montana,
and the Dakotas have been evicted
by the settlers and the process of
liquidation has reached more
advanced stage than the big pack
ers imagined. So far this season
Chicago has received but $4,000
range cattle from the Northwest.
against $4,000 last year. and a
vision of well filled freezers is
rapidly vanishing. Packers have
been accustomed for two decades
past to till their freezers during
the summer and fall, taking the
beef out during winter and spring,
when prices are materially higher.
Much of their wealth has been
acquired by this easily travelled
route, which is now all but closed
to them. Scarcity of grass beef
was indicated by eager purchas-
ing of native stuff 1T higher prices
yesterday. Less range beef
means Il better market for the
producer Of native stuff. who has
always suffered severly from
western competition. &C hicaRo

With Mirth and Laughter Let
Old Wrinkles Come

The Old Clothes Man. a
comedy drama written by James
Kyrle Mac Curdy is soon to visit
our city.
"Of what value is the stage to
civilization" is a question that has
agitated social, religious and edu-
cational bodies and institutions
and a few words in support of one
appreciable service the stage, the
play and the players render
humanity, will not be out of place
here: they provide for the people
who toll, and for those who are
careworn and depressed, a healthy
diversion-a clean, wholesome, re-
freshing recreation that is God
send to the tired heart and brain
two hours of rest and oblivion
from the cares of a lifetime, the
enjoyment Of hearty laughter and
needed amusement. This argu
ment will receive unanimous sup
port from people who are broad
minded, and those who toll and
worry over the problem of life:
and in their hearts they are thank
full to the stage, and the actor, and
to such plays as THE Old Clothes
Man. for the worthy part they
take in administering to the health
and happiness of tired humanity.
The present production of The
Old Clothes Man. comes to US
highly recommended and under
the personal guarantee of its
management Messrs. ellison &
Brad6eld, who promise that the
production will be complete in
every detail, with elaborate scenic
equipment, and = thoroughly CON-
petent cast, headed by Herbert
DeGuerre, who has won distinc-
tion as Solomon Levi, the leading
character of this famous play.
The guarantee is good, but the
outlook is that the people will be
we'll repaid for their patronage,
which will no doubt be liberal on
his occasion. 1t will be at the
Grand Opera House on Wednes-
day Sept. 20.

Prices have ruled strong, and 80
far there has been little complaint
from shippers. Most Of tho cattle
from this locality has been shipped
