PERKINS, Overseer.
To the Trustees of the Iowa County
Asylum:
GENTLEMEN: The reports of the
attending physicians for the past
year, will necessarily be very brief.
At our visits during the year, we
have always found everything about
the institution running as smoothly
as would be well oiled machine.
During the fall the asylum was
visited by the President and Secretary
of the Indiana State Board of Charities.
These gentlemen, so fully qualified
to Judge of such matters, could not
find language strong enough to convey
their earnest approval of the Wiscon-
sin system in general, and of this
institution in particular.
In fact, it needs only visit and in
spection of it to demonstrate to the
visitor the ability and kindness with
which the asylum is managed by its
able superintendent and matron.
During the year the health of the
inmates has been usually good. There
have been five deaths. Two of these
were of patients who had been ad-
mitted but a short time, as they were
practically monbund when admitted
The deaths and causes of death
were as follows.
Ann Cox, March Sd; age 60 years.
Exhaustion from chronic melancholia.
James McGuire, May Il; age 81
years. Brightss disease.
Bridget Mulligan, June %: age, ~
years. Epilepsy.
Sally Rutley, Sept. y; age, 50 years.
Senle dementia or exhaustion.
Annie Peterson, Sept. 25th; age, Sc
years. Gastric ulcer.
Four of these were from this county
The other, Bridget Mulligan, was from
Waukesha County.
The occupation necessary to the best
health of the inmates is not hard to
find upon a large farm during the
summer months; but the problem of
adequate employment, especially for
the men, during the wintor months.
has not been in our opinion, solved
either in this or any other asylum in
state.
In the Poor House there have been
four deaths. Three of these were
simply sent there to die. These were
James Shannon, died July 9th, of
paralysis from gun-shot wound to the
spine; Bridget Doody, died Aug. 9th,
aged 123, old age; Mary Goldsworthy,
died Sept. ,, aged IS years. Paralysis.
The other death was that of Henry
Tuly, died Oct. 5th, aged 76 years; of
yalyular disease of the heat.

On the subjec. Of the worlds fair THE STAR

On the subject Of the worlds fair THE STAR
has been consistent since the decision was
made IN Congress in favor Of Chicago Let
that city have fair play. II takes time for such
a great undertaking 10 get under way.
The republic must have patience with
Chicago even ii Chicago has no patience
herself II would seem that she, or at
least some of her newspapers, are becoming
very FESTIVE under the difficulties thrown in the
way Of a choice Of site. The Chicago Herald
sayG ave are threatened with worldwide
shame. We are already covered with confn-
sion" The Hsra'ds bill Of particulars shows
that ia selfish and unprogressive railway cor.
porasion bars the way to the lake front Com
pssent engineers pronounce Jackson Park In
adequate. Thus" adds that paper, ''the dual
site falls" The Herald reminds the public that
winter is coming on and year will have soon
passed with absolutely nothing DONE" Our
contemporary says with the inspiration of
great truth that the poin. to be considered is
not how much this man or that man can make
out Of the enterprise, and not how many per-
mansnt improvements Chicago can secure In
cidensally rs a result Of the tair expenditure.
but how an undertaking that is Of worldwide
importance in itself can be inaugurated and
carried on with the best prospects OF succesa
II. as charged by the Herald, the directors as
sumed very lightly a serious responsibility it is
full time they we're realizing its magnitude.
What is wanted is the local high spirit OF the
great western metropolis sweiled out into
national and even international proportions.
Let 1t not be o Chicago fair, but Columbian
worlds exposition in fact as we'll a. in name.
And IL 10 high time this broadening spirit were
entering into the plans and labors of the d.
rectors.

The cyclone that destroyed the village of
Summsrvilie and did large damage to life and
property in the city OF Wiikesbsrre and other
Pennsylvania places was one Of the most de-
structive that has visited the country in his
torical times. The cyclone is now an estab-
hshed American institution" Viewing it in
this light it viii be wise for the jewellers along
the cyclone belt to make their houses stronger
and provide subterranean modes of escape.

mated; at others an officer of lower rank fill
ING the position aud discharging the duties
thereof In the case Of Gems. Grant and Sher-

full general was bestowed At present a meri-
torious officer of the Union army in the civil
war who has seen steady and effective service
snce is senior major general and, under the

perform that duty. there being just sufficient
major generals to man the divisions, and his
own promotion having made necessary the
placing of q brigadier general in charge OF one
OF these divisions, q regimentd officer is in

throws the whole service more or less out Of
