| HIgginsville Post:-"What has become of
the movement to organize building sssoci-
alton In Higginsville? This spring is good
time to bring the matter up and put it into
shape. We again assert that such an organ
izstion would do more for the permanent
advantage of the city than any plan that has
been or could be devised. Think of it, citi-
zens, and let's get the project started" This
is good advice. In order to see how very
good 1t is our Higginsville friends should
read the three column article on st. Louis
building associations which we, last week
reprinted from the Globe Democrat.
The Higginsville Post says:-"LexingtOn
has made arrangements TO head of and fore
stall the cholera. A meeting Of the city
council was held last week and board of
health appointed and empowered to take
such action as should be necessary to place the
city In proper sanitary condition. Many
people may think these precautions unneces-
ssry and savoring of visionary fear, but it
seems to be the prevalent opinion among
scientists that the United States will be vi>i.
ted by AsiatIc cholera this coming season.
and 1t is the height Of wisdom to be prepared
for it." This Is true, and in view of Its truth
we are little surprised that the Post has
taken no pains to di-pel popular delusions III
to cholera cOntagion, and to inform it, read
ers OF the real source of danger. Whatever
preventive measures are to be taken should
be taken at once.
The Zig yinsville Post says:-"Eternal Wig
iIance 10 the price of health. Fumigste
purify and disinfect: herein only is safety
That is misleading advice. You may fumi'
gate, purify and dsinfect as much q. = Il
please and not protect yourself at ali agsins
cholera. These things should be done, o
course, but more Is needed. The great dan
ger In cholera comes from privies beinf
contiguous to wells and defective cisterns. i
our contemporary will read the series of ar
ticles recently printed in the Inte elligencer h'
will see that this Is so, and that the wa
to be made is In that direc
ton. We have no desire to point out how
dangerous are the conditions of his town
We have done so freely rs to Lexington
while as a matter of fact the conditions u
Lexington are better than in most towns Il
the state. This is a serious question: on
that should be handled honestly and candid.
and without false modesty. As soon as IT,
J frost is out of the ground proper sanitai.
measures should be taken in every town in tn
county. Railroads and the river are avenue
p for the dissemination of the terrible scourge
and to prepare for it and educate the people
minds to the true source of danger Is tn
part of wisdom.

POOR MCCULLOUGH.

Losing all RecoIIe etions of Former Days
Sinking Physically.
NEw YORK, August lS.-The Tribune
this morning says: John Mccullough, in
the Bloomipgdale Asylum, is gradually los
ing all remembrsncts OF his old days on the
stage. Captain Counor of the St James
Hotel his old business manager, goes regu-
lsrly to the Asylum to see Mccullough
The captain thinks the old actor is losing
ground physically as we'll ss mentally. He
hes-come to think he owns Bloouningdale,
as 9 gift from friends interested in seeing
him happy in his old age. He no longer
aIludes in any way to the, stage, or, as he
used to do, to engagements which he must
start away to fill. Occasionally he wants
all his baggage packed up to go to Chicago
or Cleveland, but shortly forge;S all about
it, and is not surprised or angered if ne finds
his orders have not been executed.
Sometimes Mccullough, lying in his
room, will burst out in recitations OF poems
or bits Of the plays in which he has at dit,
ferent times appeared. But this is the only
feature OF his present condition to connect
him with his old triumphs. When Captain
Copnor called last, he found Mccullough
almost Indifferent to his presence, so much 50
hat it was difficult TO determine whether or
oot he recognized him. He was in the mild
s,upor that will more and more characterize
his disease. He may die in month or be

A Report Based on Observations of the
Work on the FanRma Project.
WASHINGTON, August l8.-Civil Engineer
Merocal, who, under orders from Secretary
Chandler, went 70 Nicaragua for the purpose
of revising estimates for The construction OF
he Nicaragua Inter Oceanic Canal has
made his report to Secretary Whitney upon
bis on, erva,ion Of the work on the Panama
Canal. The result OF Mr. Menocars survey
is that he finds work has been begun only
on % out OF the - kilometers comprising
the canal proper, and the dredging IN the
bay of Panama leaving 50 kilometers or
20 per cent Of the whole distance yet un
touched. He believes that eight million Gu
bic meters is liberal estimate OF the
amount Of excavation TO May lst although
the company claims four millions more.
The officers OF the company report that 3D.
O(0,O0U meters are required for the COM
pletion of the canal, but Mr. Menocsl con-
tends that only per cent c! the work re-
CURED has been dore, while the cast is only
between and u per cent OF the total.

said to Have But Little Foundation in
Fact.
LANCASTER Pa August lS.-Superin-
tendent Gerhard, Of the State Lunatic Hos
pital, when asked about the Addie Brinckle
case, stated that he considered Miss Brinckle
not fit subject for unrestricted liberty, and
rte whole medical staff ofthe hospital agree
that she is silly, wesk-Dinded and irresPon-
sible. He expressed regret that the matter
was made sensational, 10 it might reflect on
the care of the insane in this State when
there was really no foundation for
sensation in the affair. Mics Bnnckle s

Opinion here is somewhat moulded by
tie ;act that d.. John l. Atlee, who is
r,sident of this place, was for twenty years
men8cer Of the Institution in which Miss
Brirck!e was coniir ed, and if she had been
az sane as represented he would har' haG
her case attended to at once. 1t is evident
that she was neither very sane nor
was she very competent to take care OF her
self and her own affairs. Neither was she
treated as an insane person, needing much
restraint, nor wns she left entirely to her
own free choice Of action. The chances
are that her father when he placed her under
restraint would have been the last person TO
have treated her as lunauc or mad per
son. Perhaps the proper place to have dis
posed of her at the time would have been
in home and have treated her for feeble
mindedness. The story hos been worked
up as q sensation, ard it is now considered
a mere case OF nild guardianship.

FL PAso, Ten, August l8.-The lands in
Mexico upon which the Mormon leaders
have decided to locate their proselytes and
Lew recruits from Europe are situated in
the northern part Of he State Of Chihuahua,
within fifty miles Of the Arizona and New
Mexican bounary liue A portion of the
lads lie in Sonora. The new Canaan is a
magnificent grazing country, well watered.
and, susceptible Of high state of cultiva-
tion. The soil is virgin 1t is said the
Mormon section comprises about one mil
hon acres. which they have contracted to
purchase at very low igures. No money
has passed yet, as the titles are being per
fected, and the Mornons demand that the
Federal Government shall conhcm the
legality of the title before they hand over
the payment.
Arrangements are going forward, bow
ever, for the immediate settlement OF the
lands, and the vanguard of the Mormon
army will arrive the first week in December
from Utah. Brigham Young, Jr., while
here recently, said be was offered millions
of acres Of good land at sremarksbly cheap
price, and that the Mexicans were offering
every inducement TO secure the Mormon
colony, instead Of assuming hosTile stIi-
