In FAVOR or GRANT COUNTY. In
1888 application was made by Col.
John G. Clark to the State Board OF
Supervision to relieve Grant County OF
the support OF number of insane
patients, who should have been charges
of the state nj large They relieved the
county of Gresesel, OF Plalteyille, Gents,
of MuSeoda. Schinsner, Catherine K0;z,
Celia Dolphin and another and gave
credit for about $1,000 They refused
to allow for John Pedro, of Hazel
Green. Chas Richards, of Smelser,
Geo. Ring, of Potosi, and james Foster,
of Clifton, and refused credit for money
disbursed for those persons since 1878.
Col. Clark took an appeal to the circuit
court aud got Judgment in the fall of
1884, for 81 ,52S. 80, declaring those per-
sons all state charges. The Attorney
General appealed to the supreme court.
Last Tuesday, August 81, the appeal
was dismissed and judgment of the
lower court affirmed Thus Grant
County is relieved of the expense of
all those charges. Col. Clark states
that there are others who ought to be
| looked aft r-some here and some at
Mendoza. If the Committee on Insane
employ Col. Clark or some other NJ an
who will pursue the matter with the
same energy in which this has been
prosecuted the county can be saved a
| large amount with which is now un-
justly charged. The decision of the
cases referred to saves Grant County
between $4,000 and $4,000.

of his at East Dubuque Upon his re-
covery, this gentleman, with many
other of the Doctors old patients and
friends, so strongly urged him to return

and has now gone there with view to
settling. As he is assured of as large Il
practice IS he can. at his age. attend -.
it will no doubt be better for him than
country practice. He will be missed
by his patients and friends here.
