OUTS AND ms.

The long expected change in the man
agemont at the insane hospital occurred
about 4 p. m. yesterday, when w. z.
Quigley, of Parker, arose in the meeting
of the board of trustees and moved that
the office Of superintendent OF the hospi-
tai be declared vacant. This motion was
preluded by q few remarks by the mover,
who believed that the time for q change
had arrived.
The motion was put and carried,
Trustees Gale, Qaigiey. and Peemiller
voting in the affirmative and Trustees
COX and Woolley in the negative. Cox
and Woolley both opposed the motion.
but the vote of the three on the other
side proved too much for them es ii did
all through the proceedings which fol-
lowed.
Nominations for candidates for the
superintendency were then in order.
Quigley nominated DIR. r. L. Buchanan,
of Parker. COX nominated DR.. j. F.
Oravens, OF Yankton. Gale nominated
DIR. J. B. VanVelsor, OF Yankton.
On the informal ballot, however, Gale
voted for Buchanan. with Quieley and
PeeEiller. but after seeing how the mat
ter stood he asked to change his vote
in favor of VanVelsor.

for DR.. Buchanan, but did not after
wards change his vote. so Buchanan was

voting for Livingston.

informal ballot.
By this time it appeared that o com.
bination had been made and Woolley
and COX saw the uselessness Of further
fighting. The balance of the business
was quickly finished. Upon a motion by
Peemiller, which carried, the office Of
steward was declared vacant and Pau
Hamann was nominated by PeemilleI
for that place.
j, A. Potter was nominated by Wool
ley and Geo. B. Hoffman by Cox.
