and this confirmed the impression that the
arrested man was the party wanted for .
burglary in Clinton county, Iowa. Mayo pro
tested his innocense and stated that there
must be some mistake, as he came by his
property in an honest manner, and had
never been in Clinton.
He was placed in jail, and this morning
Deputy Sheriff Desmond, of Clinton, ar
rived. The latter visited the Jail, and inn
mediately saw that mistake had been
made. Mayo was accordingly released.
The burglary at Clinton was committed
two weeks ago, and the booty consisted
largely of jewelry. The officers at that
place thought that the burglar was making
for this city, and hence sent the informa-
ton upon which Mayo was arrested. The
latter was cigar maker, and former
Y lived at Morrison, this state, where he
is said to have had good business as well
as social character. The real burglar has
not yet been arrested.

for next season. Also, 41 head of cows,
calves and beef cattle, work horses, s

ed on the farm in summer, one at $50 and
another at SO per month, and one in win

During the month of August paupers
were received and the same number dis

well for the general health of the institu

were sent there sick or so broken down in
health as to unable them to earn livli-
hood.
The only hired help employed in this
department is the cook, at SO per month
and washwoman, at So per month. The
inmates assist in the kitchen and dining
room work and many of them wash their
own clothing. DIR. Crawford, the attend
ing physician, is paid $75 per year for his
services.
The stewards salary is $1,000 O year;
the assistants $500, while the latter's wife
receives $3.50 for attending to the washing
and ironing of the clothing and bedding of
the insane. The two families occupy the
same dwelling, which is furnished by the
county, and the county supplies them with
all their groceries and household neces-
saries.
