The Jury in the NoIand Case Fails to
Agree.
JEFFERSON CITY, May 1.-THE great
holland case has resulted in mistriaL
The jury was out for nearly nine hours,
and from the very first stood to 6.
Judge Burgess inquired if there was
any prospect of the jury agreeing. Two
of the jurymen said there was not, and
the others acquiesced.
The jury was then discharged. The
case will probably be retired early in
June.
The following jurors voted for con-
viction: J. n. Steininger, q. w. Hick-
man, Samuel White, w. R. Jones, R.
w. Baysinger and Albert Pringer. The
following voted for acquittal: J. w.
Ogden, D. A. Dawson, w. B. Taylor,
R NJ. Porter, George L. Evans and
William Hogg. Politically the jury
stands: Democrats 9, republicans 8.
The republicans are Messrs. Hickman,
Evans and Steininger. Mr.. Evans
voted for acquittal.
When it became known that the jury
stood six for acquittal and six for con-
viction a newspaper representative
called on Gov. Francis, who said: 81

trial You may say for me that 1 am
greatly surprised at the result The

ENuMERArING THE DAFT.
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Persons In
United states Insane Asylums.

Nearly One Hundred Thousand Persons in
United states Insane AsyIums.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-The superin-
tendent of the census has made public
q bulletin in which are given statistics
upon the subject of asylums for the in
sane in the United States. 1t shows
that the total number of insane persons
treated in both public and private insti-
tutions during the year 1889 was 1885,
while during the year 1881 there were
56, 2O5, showing an increase in the nine
years of Al, $50 or 57.59 per cent This
percentage of increase when compared
with the percentage of increase in pop
ulation in the last decade namely, "a. So
per cent, does not indicate an increase
in the proportion of insane persons to
population, but rather a great increase
in the amount of asylum accommodaE
ton provided and willingness on the
part of the public to make full use OF
the facilities thus provided.
The figures for the actual number OF
insane IN the United States cannot be
determined until the work of eliminat-
ing all duplicates of cases has been com
pleted. In 1889 there were 80 private
institutions in the United States Tor the
treatment of insane, % located in the
the north Atlantic states, l. in the north
central states and one in the south At
lantic states The ratio to each LOCO
inhabitants of the whole United States
of the insane public institutions is LA,
and including both public and private
institutions is 156 The number of in
sane in each geographical division were:
North Atlantic division, &C, ,5S5; south
Atlantic, II, ,2Ss; north central, 2s,69O;
south central, 1859, and western, 6, S20
OF the number of insane in the western
division 4,59S or 67. AZ per cent are In
public institutions in California, leav-
ing 9, ,222 or 32.5S per cent. for the re-
naming states composing the western
division.
Taking only those states which have
made complete reports of expenditures,
it will be found that the total annual
cost per head for the number treated
was S161, while the corresponding ex-
penditure for the years 1871 to 1880 was
$3.50 and for the years 1861 to 1870 it
was S1S5. The average annual cost for
the current expenditures, including
buildings, for the nine years 1881 to
1889 inclusive was S133 per head.

The Professors Remedy For the Insects
Ravages.
LAWRENCE, Kan, May 10.-Chancel-
lor Snow has forwarded to Secretary
Mohler, of the state board of agricult-
ure, his conclusions regarding wheat
pests in Kansas. Speaking of the
chinch bugs, the report says:
The bugs now in the wheatfelds are a
remnant of last falls brood, which hyber-
mated. The females have been for the past
three weeks engaged in laying eggs, and the
young will soon be Matched. Indeed, few
reports of young bugs have already been re-
ceiyed. The eggs are very susceptible to the
influence of climatic conditions, and If we
should have heavy rains between now and
May 20 the crop of young bugs will be much
ensmalled The young are of reddish color,
and lack fully developed wings. They will,
at first, after Matching, suck the sap from
the roots, appearing later above ground on
the leaves of the corn.
Active measures must be resorted to to
keep the pests down. Much hope is placed
remedy" namely the attempt to spread arti-
flcially a contagious disease among the bugs
The experiments of the early spring in
the laboratory indicate the activity of the
contagion, and II the cooperation Of the
farmers, by sending in large numbers of
live, healthy bugs may be relied on, thesta
tion will be prepared to scatter infected
bugs all over the state. Much difficulty has
been met with in obtaining live bugs for ex-
perimenting, although at present bugs are
being sent in in large numbers. Live,
healthy bugs are needed all the time.
So far this spring over 200 lots of infected
bugs have been sent out Reports of the
field experiments have not yet begun TO
come in. Infected bugs and instructions for
using them will be sent on applications ac-
companied by live, healthy bugs to any

Home Again.

On the 2lst ult., J. J. Mulrein, after
closing out his business in this city, left
with his family for the north in search
of more favorable location for health
and business. On Wednesday morning
last to the surprise of his friends, Mr..
Mulrein and family returned to this
city. Mr.. Mulrein and family, after
spending few days in San FRANCISCO,
took the steamer for Eureka, Humboldt
county, and after looking around for a
business opening in the neighboring
towns, took the long stage journey to
Ukiah, Mendocino county. Not finding
an opening to suit him, d journey back
O Eureka was taken over the same
route. Concluding to locate in Eureka,
a house was rented and furnished, and a
harness and saddle shop opened.
Mr.. Mulrein soon found that the raw
winds and damp foggy weather of HUM
boldt did not agree with him. Before a
week had passed he was attacked with a
hemorrhage of the lungs which nearly
prostrated him. Acting on the advice
Of his physician, he promptly sold out
his furniture. closed his shop, and
countermanded a large order on San
Francisco dealer tor stock.

be that of moderate height, either with
the turn over flaps, vulgarly known as

place, but not prominently until the
proper the two shapes we have men
toned will be those most generally seen

THE ORANGE CARNIVAL.
PREPARATIONS FOR THE CHICAGO
SHOW UNDER WAY.
Everything Points to Its Success-Favor-
able Returns From Orange Localities.
What Has Been Done So Far.

t Owing to the fact that the manage
ment OF theTecent citrus fAir were busily
engaged IN winding up its affairs, and
also that one member of the executive
committee, the treasurer OF the organi-
zation, has been absent from the city in
San Francisco, operations with regard to
the transferring of the show to Chicago
have been somewhat delayed. Every
thing is now we'll under way and the
outlook is in the highest degree favora-
BILE to the complete success Of the enter
prise.
A large number OF letters have been
written to members of outside locality
committees, urging them to arouse their
people to definite action, in order that
the executive committee might know
where they stood. The returns are now
coming in and, with few exceptions,
they are entirely favorable.
A telegram was received from Red
/ lands yesterday from H. H. Sinclair,
who was an active member of the com
mittee that recently acquitted itself SO
admirably at the recent fair, announc-
ing that meeting had been held, that
it was formally decided to come into the
undertaking and take an active hand.
The necessary amount of fruit and
| money will be subscribed, and Red
lands will 60 in as enthusiastically as it
did in the Los Angeles show. A tele-
gram was also received from Ventura,
from N. w. Blanchard, who is the larg-
est orange grower of that county, an
nouncing that Ventura would probably
be represented in good shape. The San
Diego papers announce that meeting
was held there on Friday evening. and
that the necessary amount of money for
the enterprise was raised, and the work
OF preparation is well under way.
In Los Angeles county all the locali-
ties which were rep1 esented at the recent
show are in readiness to come in with
the exception of San Gabriel and possl-
bly, one other. Several new localities
are expected to come in to make up for
this deficiency.
Negotiations with the railroads con-
tinue, but no satisfactory result has
been attained. The roads are compelled
to submit whatever arrangement is pro-
posed to the members of the Trans
continental association, and no conclu-
sion can be reached until vote is
taken.
| 1t has been decided to name the fair
in Chicago The Orange Carnival, as the
word citrus is frequently misunderstood
by eastern people and fairs are not as a
rule popular with the public.
A telegram was received yesterday
from Major Ben Truman, who is in
charge of the permanent exhibit at the
Rialto building in Chicago, announcing
that he had secured 10000 feet in the
Exposition building. This means one
wing and the central portion of the
edifice. The terms secured are in the
highest degree favorable; 10 per cent.
of the gross receipts. This shows that
the exposition people look upon the
show as an enterprise of very high hgrade.

HENRY M. STANLEY.
The Pavilion Full to Hear o
Africa.

A perfectly immense audience, and
containing great many distinguished
people, assembled at the pavilion last
night to hear Stanley lecture on Africa.
He is a man of feet inches, weighing,
perhaps, ITO pounds, with thick hair
almost white all over his head, and a
mustache Of similar appearance. He
talks easily and graphically, without
being at all eloquent. His lecture lasted
nearly two hours, and in that time be
told world of what he saw and did in
Africa. 1t is useless to attempt to de-
scribe the lecture without reproducing it.
No condensation Of it is possible, for the
reason that it bristled with recital of
facts, thrilling, weird and wonderful.
He looks like the determined, fearless,
enduring man he has proven himself,
and he talks in the same vein. His
painting Of the limitless woods OF
Central Africa, and of the broad, swift
sweeps of the great Congo river, was
very fine. Much as one may inn
agine Of what Stanley endured in Africa,
the story has to be heard in detail to get
aclear idea of the hardships and dan
gers Of such an expedition.
