TKRRELL's ASYLUM.


The total amount Of land purchased for
the asylum is 647l.2 acres, one-.hird being
timber and the balance prairie. Nearly lOO
acres of this land lies within the corporate
limits, and on this the buildings will be
located. There are two springs on this
tract, furnishing abundant water and
well forty feet deep and three
feet in diameter that runs over continually.
Plenty of timber and water are on the
premises, two important conditions worthy
OF prime consideration wherever human
labiLaLions are ~ DC erected. ~
An avenue eighty feet wide, brick or
stone sidewalks, and shade trees on both
sides, will be constructed from the city TO
the asylum, by the time the building for
the Institution is completed.-lTerrell

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
The difference between the constitution
as il stands and the amendments proposed
is the road and bridge tax provided for and
the separation of the school and general
revenue tax. At present the levy OF tax
for road and bridge purposes is unauthor-
lied, and the amendment proposes tar Tor
this purpose, not to exceed IS cents on the
SlOa valuation. For building bridges es-
pecially, il is very necessary TO have
money, and there is no way TO get
IL except 10 tax the peo-
Die for il. Another effect Of the adoption
Of this amendment will be TO separate the
taxes for school and general revenue pur.
poses. At present the amount OF school
money raised by taxation depends upon
the amount necessary TO run the state gov.
eminent. The school gets one-iourth o.
whatever Is levied. II may be fourth Of
30 or a fourth Of 50 cents as the necessities
of the state require. There Is. there
fore, no stable basis for public
schools at present, unless the people
desire To levy q certain amount Oh tai re-
gardless Of the expenses OF the government,
and thus horde mp an unwieloy cash pal
ance, IL the proposed amendment -
adopted a certain sum will be levied for the
support OF the state government, iDdepen.

people will hereafter know what II cost 20
