the state. Aside from this, the mind that
retains some intelligence, and those of a
majority of the patients do, holds rcmem-
brances of home and friends which should
be fostered instead of blotted out by iso-
lation. The information continually

also prove wholesome check on any tend

selfish interests by the officials of such

The bill now pending before the legis-
lature permitting every inmate of an in
sane hospital TO choose one person OF the
outside world with whom he may COM
muDicate at any time without being sub
iect TO censorship is wise measure and
commendabie from every point OF view.
No benevolent institution should be made
bastile where its inmates are practically
buried alive. Humanity demands that
these persons should be permitted to ven
tilate such grievances as they have, and in
the possible instance of a sane person be-
ing detaint in such an institution
through the manipulation of some iufiuen-
tial individual, this plan would insure a
speedy restoration OF liberty. Many of
the patients are sane enough to
tell of the treatment which they
and other patients receive at the hands of
the keepers and nurses, and the frequent
reports which are published all over the
country of neglect and cruelty in such in
stitutions would indicate that il is not
merely the right but the duty OF the pub
lie TO be informed of the inside workings
of these asylums which are supported by

Our Position Indorsed.

To THE EDIToR-Sr: A communication
in today's SENTINEL entitled "a Farmer
Speaks Out" cansists of golden words aud
should be read by every member of the
legislature who should act accordingly. The
stand THE SENTINEL takes on the fee and
salary question is right, and the democrats
of this part of Upton county are very
proud OF THE SENTINEL. Never let up
until just fee and salary law is passed
by the legislature. ID.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

L. PARHAM, Sidell, Ill.-THE SENTINEL
has printed abstracts OF the force bill and
explanations of Its salient points frequent
ly. 1t provides for the appointment of
three supervisors of elections in each cleo
ton district, two OF whom shall be OF the
same political faith. These supervisors
are to be appointed by the chief super
visors OF elections. oil republicans, but
their appointment may be renewed by
the circuit Judges, nearly all of whom are
republicans Supervisors will be empow-
cred to pass upon the right of any pc son
to be registered, as required previous to
voting, and in cities of more than 10000
shall ''verify the registration" by house
toulouse visits and inquiries. These SUI
pervisors are TO work in conjunction with
the local election boards. but If their report
of the election Is contrary to that of the
local board il snail be accepted as official,
and the house of representatives shall be
formed on this basis. Supervisors shall
hold office until disqualified or removed,
practically giving them life positions
Elections OF congressman shall occur in
1890, and every two years thereafter, all
states being compelled to make laws con-
fol ming to this regulation. The president,
or anv person whom he may empower for
that purpose, may employ any part of the
land or naval forces of the United States
to enforce any or all of the provisions of
the bill-that is to say, may surround the
polls with armed men at his pleasure.

The legislature ought to direct an inves-
tigation of the state treasury. When that
is finished an investigation of the govern
Or's office will be in order. The opera
tons OF the pardon bureau and detective
agency in the governors Office will, we
think. bear looking into. When the legis-
lature has got through with HovEY, RoB-
ERTs * Co. an examination into the man

SINCE the Mckinley bill has built wall

THE house Wednesday adopted a resolu-

was not suggested by Governor HovEY.

the free entry of our products into coun-
tries producing sugar, coffee, tea and hides.

a Deplorahle Accident.

One of the most distressing occur
ances of many months took place at
Claremore on Monday morning before
day, and it is feared will result in the
death of Joe Rogerse, very well known
in this town aud throughout the
northern part Of the nation. Mr. Rog-
ers was one of the sherili7s guards, at
tending the payment, and with several
other was in the upper story Of the
court house. Neil Ward was another
guard, taking his revolver Oh attemp-
ted lay it o. table The weapon
slipped of, however, and striking the
floor was discharged. Mr.. Rogers was
sitting upon = chair near by and the
bullet struck him in the back, rang
ing upwards, and passed the shoulder
blade and probably into the right lung
He was brought TO this town on the
afternoon train and taken to the home
of his brother living in the Scraper
house, near the academy. The shock
to the lung produced condition sim
liar II not identical with pneumonia
and little hope vas entertained by the
physian Tuesday morning OF the
wounded mans recovery. Airs. Rog-
ers lived in this town for long time,
but two years ago moved to Adair
where he has opened a large farm.
During the present spring he has been
assisting Collector Crutchfield in
counting cattle.

LADIES'
We take pleasure in stating to
youthat our spring of 1891 stock Of
Dry Goods isnow upon our shelves
and counters.
1t Will be greater pleasure to
have you call and examine them.
A great deal was said last fall
about VIM. Mckinley and his fam
Gus bill. One would have sup
posed that said bill was long
enough to sap the very life out Of
the people, especially the pur-
chasing consumer. Ifyou will call
at our store we will endeayor to
disabuse your mind on this ques-
tiyn.
We can sell better values in Dry
Goods this season for less money
than they cost us last year. We
are not going into a tariff or free
trade argument. The goods may
have been smuggled If they
were we don't know it; they came
to us in the regular way.
We think we have the finest dis
play Of Dry Goods ever brought
to this Nation and we ask an in
spection.
