IMPROVING.

Mrs Jennie Hoffman, of Moline, whose
insanity was produced by desertion on the
part of her husband, is at present located
at the insane Department of the county
poor farm. The attending physician re-
ports that she is Improving, and hopes are
entertained that she win soon regain her
reason.
Her mania appears to be the fear that
some one will separate her from her child;
and she is now becoming more reconcile d
when she has her child constantly in her
presence.
It was the intention of the authorities to
remove her to Jacksonville, and permits
sion for her admission to that institute was
obtained.
1t is now determined to allow her to re-
main at the county poor farm, as it is be-
lieved that the separation from her child
will intensity her mania and prevent her
recovery as may be naturally expected.
She will accordingly remain at the county
institution for some weeks, and if found
unimproved at the end of that time will be
sent to Jacksonville for treatment.
