MILwAUKEE, April 20.-The Maggie
Hennecke mystery was solved this
morning by the discovery of her body in
the river near Jones Island, only short
distance from where her hat was
found few days after her disappear
ance. The body was first seen by Capt.
Williams, of the tug "Bues." and when
discovered was near the middle of the
river, floating on the surface. It was
towed 10 shore and the authorities
notified. Upon the arrival Of the wagon
at the station Superintendent Whitehead
and Chief Mason viewed the remains
and they were, without trouble, identi-
fed as those of Maggie. The gold
necklace was in place; the nut basket,
suspended AZ her neck, was still there,

CONSUMPTTON

1t is said that $4,000 people die an
Ruslly in the United States alone from
this disease. In some sections of the
country one death in every three is from
consumption. This can be, and should
be avoided; our people are too careless
about an ordinary cough or cold, and
tue other symptoms of throat and lung
affections that lead to this disease. You
should arrest it while it is in the germ.
Two or three doses of DIR. Bosanko's
Cough and Lung Syrup will relieve an
ordinary cough or cold. It does not
dry up a cough like many preparations
on the market and leave the disease be-
hind it, but acts directly on the throat

mulates in the throat and lungs. II

THE ossAWAT0MIE ASYLUM.

THE OSSAWATOMIE ASYLUM.
The contemplated changes at the o.
sawatomie asylum are not being receiv-
ed with that degree of endorsement that
Gov. Click could hope Tor. The Fort
Scott Monitor says:
If there was nothing more in a change
OF officers in the Ossawatomie Insane
Asylum than political consid-
erations, we would never say
word in regard TO any change
that Governor Click might make. But,
having lived in Miami county sixteen
years, and personally witnessed the
growth of the asylum from infancy to a
mammoth institution containing over
four hundred of the states insAne-and
the larger portion OF this growth under
the care and management of DIR. Knapp
and Captain Reuben Smith-we cannot
help but feel deep interest in the con-
tinued success of so important an insti-
| tuition to the people of Kansas.
From personal knowledge we know
of the management of the asylum by
these gentlemen. And hence we have
not and do not hesitate to say that the
use of the asylum as political influence
| is an outrage upon the state, and to turn
out true and tried officers as DIR. A. H
| Knapp, superintendent, and Captain
Reuben Smith, the steward, would be ar
outrage upon the patients. The skill
of treating, caring for and man.
aging insane persons takes years
of patient toll and labor to acquire
and in all other states this il
recognized, and such chan ges are neVe
made unless for absolute cause-nevel
for political reasons. Gov. Click cam
afford TO Gust these officers. And if hC
does, we honestly believe it will be onS
of the serious mistakes of his admins
tratiOn. IF there was nothing but pol
itics in il, we should expect him tC
make the removals. But as one wht
labored for years, according. to his abiI.
ity, to aid in having this instltu.
tiOn fOstered by the state for the In.
terest of that unfortunate class, the in
sane, we deplore this move upon the par
of the Governor, through his politica
i p0rtisans on the insane board. There II

TENPERANcE IN ENPoRIA.

The Topeka Commonwealth and otheE
papers are dotiDg on the statement OF
Mayor Warren in his recent message
that he found ''fifieen places in this
city where intoxicating liquors are sold
at retail" What does that argues Sim
ply that the prohibition law has not been
enforced. That's all Suppose you ask
Mayor Warren how many places there
are now in Emporia where liquor is
sold at retail. If there are any now
suppose you wait till the proper author
titles have had time TO dispose of the
suits which have been brought against
the violators Of the law and then ask
how the matter ST Inls. We make the
poi1t that nIne-tenths of the time since
the law was passed IL has been well en-
forced in Emporia, and that there were
no open saloons here. Tue public SEN
timent here is in favor of the law, and
it has been enforced as well as the aver.
age Of laws on the statute book. and will
be by the present city admins
tration. There are laws on the books
against embezzlement and horse steal
ing, and yet they are violated every day
in the year. Why does not the Com
n0Hsoedlh apply the same rule to these
laws it does TO the temperance law, adj
vocate their repeal and call those who
favor their enforcement hypocrites, q
term it applies TO the prohibitionists
quite frequently. We admit there are
two sides to this whole temperance
question, just as there is to all political
and social questions, but so long as
the present temperance law is upon the
statute books We take the ground that
it lie the duty of every citizen to do all
in his power to enforce it, rather than
to cast odium upon it in every possible
way and to openly advise its violation.
The statement of the mayor which is
such precious morsel to the Common
aoeeIth was undoubtedly true when it
was made. but that is nothing against
the law. Let the people OF Emporia
who are in favor of u strict enforcement
of the law strengthen the hands of the
new city officers ia every legitimate
and possible way, and we venture the
assertion that it will not be many days
before such a representation cannot be
truthfully made of EN- poiia.
