containing important information as
follows:
"The hospital is now very crowded,
and the utmost limit of accomm0da.
tion has been reached. Hereafter
patients must not be sent without
previous notice and an ordor for their

Applications for the admission Of pa
tients, accompanied with history of
the case as full and complete as can
be obtained, will be placed on file, and
notice given of the time when they
can be received, in the order of appli-
cation. Preference, however, may be
given to cases of puerperal disease,
acute mania, and active suicidal pro-
pensity. Cases of more than one
years duration, especially if accom-
panied with epilepsy or paralysis,
will not bo received, unless under Pc
culiar or pressing circumstances, un.
til tho new Hospital at Independence
is prepared for tho reception of pa
tients.
1t is hoped that such attention will

The question Of the. removal ol

quite persistently mooted in the pa
pers Of the West and Northwest
There is one fact very patent in all
this agitation that however desira'
bic it may be to have the Capitol
more central; the contest that is al
ready arising among the different
localities, will, if not controlled and
conducted in more friendly spirit,
effectually check-mate any action In
the matter whatever.
Tho East need no better assurance
that the Capitol will remain where
it is, than to see such towns as Gin.
cinnati, st. Louis, indianapolis, and
others going in strenaously and bit.
terly each for herself at this early
stage in the game. Let us wait nm.
til the question is settled that we are
to have a sremoval at all, and after
wards try the respective merits Of
the different localities.
Unity Of action must be had
among the friends of removal, to ei
feet the object, and this cannot exist
while the contest for the site is mixed
up in the fight.
