At the Iowa County Insane Asylum.
The Dodgeville Chronicle of last

week contained the following:
One of the most interesting and impressive
Christmas festivities ever enjoyed by us was
at the Iowa county insane asylum, on Christ
mas eve, the occasion being the presentation
OF gifts to the patients Of the asylum, and
the inmates of the poor farm, under the di-
rection of the Superintendent, E. J. Perkins,
Esq, and Mrs. Perkins, the matron. The
general dearth of Christmas trees, in con-
sequence of their frozen and broken coalition,
was substituted by a handsome arch loaned
by the Edmund Sunday school, The taste
displayed in the decoration of the arch, and
the arrangement of the presents, showed SUI
perb artistic ability. The arch was display
ed at the east end of the spacious dining hall,
the patients and a few invited guests nearly
filling the space from the west.
Mr.. Perkins secured the services of the
Edmund choir and with their help carried
out a very pleasing program, consisting of
singing, prayer, reading, rendering of " The
Two Little Women" by two little girls from
the Edmund school, and the presentation of
gifts from the arch.
To a visitor, it was most imposing to see
the perfect discipline Of the institution,
when a full hundred of insane patients were
brought together whose orderly conduct
would grace church congregation. Their
manifest appreciation of their exercises by
their elated looks in responding to the call
of their names, and acceptance of the pres
entS, should be an announcement to all phi
lanthropists to MAINTAIN such institutions,
and make repeated occasions of joy to such
ff1icted ones even If the effect is OnIy mOn-
entary.
Iowa county should regard itself very for
tunate in securing such efficient management
as it has in persons of Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins

THE SUIT WAS FILED
Glaring inequalities of the Gerry
mander Demonstrated.
Strong Showing Made by the Complaint
Prepared by Mr.. Wishard-In-
junction Asked For.

Late yesterday afternoon the apportion-
ment suit was filed in the Circuit Court.
A. W.. Wishard is the plaintiff and the
clerk, sheriff and auditor of every county
in the State are the defendants.
The complaint alleges:
That IL is provided by Section 4 of Arti-
Gle 4 of the Constitution of the State OF In
diana that the General Assembly shall, at
its second session after the adoption Of the
Constitution. and every six years thereafter,
the male inhabitants above the age of TWEEN
ey-one years.
land it is further provided by Section 5
Of said Article 4 of the Constitution of the
State of Indiana that the number of Sena-
tors and representatives shall, at the SEES
sion Of the General Assembly next follow
ing each period of making such enumera-
ton, be fixed by law and apportioned among
the several counties according to the num-
Der of male inhabitants above tWenty<one
That in the year 1889 an enumeration of
all the male inhabitants over the age OF
twenty-one years in the State of Indiana
was taken under the authority and by the
direction of the General Assembly of said
State of Indiana as required by the Consti-
tuition OF said State.
THAT the whole number of male inhabi-
tants above the age of twenty-one years
within the State of Indiana in 1889 was 55l,-
04S.
''That it became the duty of the General
Assembly to apportion the number of sena-
tors and representatives 70 the General As
sembly based upon said enumeration of
1889 so that each senatorial district would
contain 11,O20 male inhabitants above the
age of twenty-one years and each repre-
sentative district $50 male inhabitants
above the age of t~wenty-one years as nearly
as reasonably possible.
THAT under the provisions of the Con-
s~titution it became the duty of the General
Assembly at it's fifty-seventh regular seS-
sion TO fix the number of senator's mot ex-
ceeding fifty and representatives mot ex-
ceeding one hundred, and to apportion
them among the several counties OF the
State according TO the male inhabitants
above twenty-one years of age; and by Sec
ton s of Article 4 of said Constitution it
was provided that a senatorial or repre-
sentative district, when more than one
county should constitute a district. should
be composed of contiguous counties, and
that no county for senatorial apportionment
should ever be divided.
That the General Assembly at it's session
of 1891 pretended to pass an act apDortion-
ing the senators and representatives among
the several counties which act was subse-
quently held unconstitutional and void.
THAT the General Assembly IN 1893 passed
an act apportioning senators and represent
atives among the several counties.
The following table. which is set forth,
shows the discrepancies in the apportion-
moOt.

READY TO COOPERATE
The Board of Health and the
.W0men'S Sanitary Association.
a Slight Misunderstanding-The Three
Boards Hold Acknowledgements
Before the Finance Committee.

A publication in a morning paper yester-
day to the effect that the new Board OF
Health was giving no attention to the COM
plants made by the omen Sanitary AS
ISOLATION, and that it did not seem to take
kindly to the proffer of cooperation by the
ladies, brought about a meeting of the
board yesterday afternoon, which was at
tended by a committee from the associa-
ton. Mrs. John A. Holman acted as spokes-
man for the committee. 1t seems that there
was a general misunderstanding, that no
complaint was made by the association
against its treatment by the board. On a
number of occasions recently characterization
has sent communications to the health Office
pointing out unsanitary premises and
places. The board investigated such COM
plants and made the necessary orders, but
did not think it was necessary to notify the
association that the premises had been
cleaned. The committee was informed that
the Board of Health was glad to have the
cooperation of the ladies, and would do
all in its power to assist them in their
work.
The board suggested that it would be
best, whenever a complaint is made, to
have the party making the complaint have
a personal interview with the sanitary Of
icer. This will insure prompt action and
proper remedy. Sometimes the complaints
received at the health Office from citizens
are not definite enough to warrant the
health officer In acting, and sometimes he
cannot find the ~unsanitary place for lack
Of a definite description of it. The board is
only allowed three inspectors. TIL commit
tee thought the board ought to employ one
or more additional inspectors, but the board
Informed the ladies that it had no power in
this direction, the Council being the auto
cratic body. 1t is hardly probable the Coun-
ell will order any more inspectors in view
Of the financial condition of the city, al
though conscientious officers could be we'll
employed in investigating complaints. One
of the ladies suggested that 1t would be
wise to put a lady on the corps of inspect
ors. Would one of the gentle sex do to
make arrests and prosecute offenders in
the Police Court? This was the question
Dr.. Stillson asked. The ladies thought it
could be done.
The committee was well satisfied after
the interview with the board that the doc
with the Sanitary Association. DR.. Hays,
the president, promised to nave every COM
plant made by the association investigated.
The ladies also thought 1t would be web
for the board to consider the effect of I'M
propere street sweeping on the city'S health.
The street sweeping, however, comes under
the jurisdiction Of the Board Of Works.

The Board Of Works has taken no further
action on the proposed vacation of the alley
in the rear Of Mai. j. W. Richards's home,
at the southeast corner Of Pennsylvania
and Seventh streets. The old board decided
TO order the vacation, but there was a re-
monstrance by interested property owners:
The case possesses two sides, and it Will
be difficult to determine just what is proper
to do in fairness to the petitioner and those
who demonstrate. Major Richards claims
that the alley is somewhat of a private
one; that il was opened when IL was sup
posed a certain subdivision was to be mace.
The plan of this subdivision was not after
wards followed out. The demonstrators
claim that they will have no outlet from the

THE DRUGGISTS PROTEST..
Finance Committee Urged to Act
Against COuIter's Ordinance.

The finance committee of the Council met
last night and listened TO a committee of
druggists who came TO protest against the
ordinance OF Councilman Coulter taxing
drug stores that sold liquor $3.50 a year.
This committee consisted OF Messrs. a.
Undertake. Eichrodt and 1. n. Helms.
The committee urged that there was no
drug store that they knew of that was SELL
ing as much as $3.50 worth of liquor a year.
Some druggists, they admitted, sold liquor
that was not strictly for medicinal pur-
poses. perhaps, but the imposition Of a
tax would burden the legitimate druggist
who sold no liquor except for medicinal
purposes. The members of the finance
committee, or at least a majority of them,
are not in favor of imposing such a heavy
tax, although 1t is quite probable that the
committee will recommend a tax OF $50 or

Informally considered the matter of street

sions. The sweeping contracts expire next

some of the sweeping done by machines is
satisfactory; that the proper performance

contractor. However, it strongly favorS the

Says II Estimates Are Too High.

Building Inspector Pendergast thinks the
estimates printed a few days ago for cut
ting down the courthouse yard are too
high. He thinks that the work could be
done for much less than $4,000, in fact, for
not more than $4,000. He suggests that if
the work be done the steps be not re-
moved. but rather have the yard grade
down from them to the street. He does not
think the foundation stone would need a
great deal of dressing. 1t might be covered
with a dressing somewhat similar to that
on the exterior of the Journal Building.
There is a long sewer in the courthouse
yard, a branch of which comes from the
jail, but il is the impression of Mr.. Fender
CAST that the cutting down of the yard
would not interfere with this sewer.

Police II

samples and prices. Controller Trusler APP
peared before the board and sug-
gested that they take some other
means of advancing the money TO
buy the cloth for these uniforms
besides taking it out of any fund. In case
the board should do this the money when
paid in by the police and firemen would go
back into the city treasury into another
fund. The controller also suggested that
the board take steps TO cut down its ex-
penses as much as possible. President
