DanSiIle Asylum.
A PATRIOT REPRESENTATIVE INVESTIGATES
CHARGES MADE AGAINST IT.
ELI ROBBINS.

DANyILLE, July IA series of articles
has recently been published in the William
sport Breakfast Table exposing alleged
abuses in the asylum for the insane at this
place. A representative of the Patriot visi-
ted the institution day or so ago and was
shown through the different wards and af-
ter making the closest scrutiny failed to
discover anything that would show either
a laxity or undue severity in the manage
ment of the poor inmates confined therein.
The author of some of the articles in ques-
ton was II former employe of the institu-
ton, and was dismissed for ill-trcatmcnt OF
u patient, and now excuses his conduct by
asserting that instances of the most shock
cruelty and inhuman treatment are of COM
mon occurrence. AS is usual in such cases
great injustice has been done. DR.. Shultz,
the superintendent, is thorough humani-
tartan, and has the entire confidence of the
community in which he resides. No one
has been in the least disturbed by the SEN
sational articles appearing in print, and
copied by several papers throughout the
state. Those having friends and relatives
within the building undergoing treatment
need give themselves no uneasiness by
reading accounts of alleged inhuman treat
ment. That slight abuses exist, or have
existed may be quite true, bnt how are
they to be entirely prevented A? The disci-
plne is very strict and attendants are
dismissed as soon as it is known that they
are unnecessarily harsh in their treatment.
But when one of these poor crazed crea.
lures rushes upon an attendant with the
superhuman strength which frenzy gives
there Is but one way to meet the attack
force must conquer, The institution en-
ploys the best help that can be procured
consistent with the amount appropriated
by the state for this purpose. The dutie,
are arduous and often unpleasa mt
and only persons of strong nerves
and wills are able to fill the position
1t is not to be wondered at that these some
times fail in gentleness. AS for ''iron claC
cells" there is not one in the building. Ant
as for ''patients being poisoned" an exami
nation but proves that the informer wa
perverting facts, and your representativ,
| questions whether such an expose (?) a
that published in the Breakfast Table doe
anything better than place difficulties II
the way of those who are honestly tryinl
to benefit those most unfortunate of human
l crcatures-the insane.

A species of spider has been di scovered

We learn our town is to have II much
needed want in the shape of II good hotel
building. Boniface Hickman intends tear
ing out the front of his stand and rebuild
ing it, also remodelling the inside and put
ting up an additional story with mansard
roof. He also intends building a large
stable for the stabling of teams. Good for
George. He deserves success and he will
have it. 1t is the great need of our town and
he will see our people know how to reward
enterprise by liberal patronage.
There was considerable excitement in
town Saturday over reports that Miss Jes-
sic Fisher had been severely injured by a
horse she was driving running away and
throwing herself and brother out of the
conveyance. The facts as near as we
could learn are as follows; A Mr. Har tzell
from up creek had horse die from heat
going up the Light Street hill and instead
of removing it, was allowed to lie in the
road from before noon until night. Her
horse in passing became frightened and
and sprang into the ditch upsetting them
throwing them out and smashing the pha-
cton and bruising Miss Fisher about the
head and face. We hear several others
came near meeting with like accident.
Such carelessness is criminal and he should
be made to pay damages.

to the town of Ulysses, a distance of six
miles, all along the road to see the farmers
plowing corn, the ground completely dry
with the exception of some low places
where the water was yet standing. The
ground in this country is very porous and
takes in the water very soon. Working in
this ground does not injure it. The chunks
of earth will in a few days appear to slack
and run together like ashes. The wheat,
barley and oats are now about out in head.

looks fine, and more than an average

A Refractory Rector,
AN EPISCOPAL CLERGYMAN ANNOUNCES A
REQUIEM MASS,

The Episcopal church controversy,
which has grown out of the High church
tendencies of Arthur Ritchie, pastor of the
Church of Ascension Chicago, and which
has already served to draw out letter of
protest from the bishop of that diocese,
had another sensational feature added to
it Sunday. Rector Richie, at the morning
service, announced that at the conclusion
of the service requiem mass would be
said for the soul of Daniel Fountain, who
was drowned in Lake Michigan in the lat
ter part of May, The announcement of a
requiem mass was apparently such pro-
nounced step towards Romanism as to
cause even the Pensioners of the Church
of the Ascension to rebel who had hitherto
stood by the pastor, and one-half of the
congregation left church, In the mean,
time, at the request of the widow of Daniel
Fountain, the celebration of the mass has
been postponed for few days, 1t is be-
leved now that the bishop will be com
PEELED to order the trial of the pastor fol
the infringement OF the Church rules.

Trade dollars continue to circulate here
at S5 cents, though everyone who can do
so, is holding them back. In Philadel-
phia most of the leading merchants are
taking them at par for goods. We notice
by our exchanges that the business men Of
many other places are doing the same
thing. 1t is likely that they will again
pass for full dollar, but the fight against
them all over the country will show Con-
gress the necessity of taking some action
at its next session to retire them, or pass a
law making them legal tender. They are
worth more than the Bland dollar intrin-
sically, and there is no reason why they
should not be made lawful money.
