" The Methodist and Presbyterian
brethren who are asking the president
not to enforce the Geary law are not
doing a creditable thing. They should
have opposed the act when it was pend

WADE'S WILD ACT
The Plumbing Inspector
at Agnews.
Unhappy Sequel to a Reconciliation
of Man and Wife After q
Bitter Contest.

One OF the officials of the city was re-
Gently sent to the asylum at Agnews for
the insane. The matter was kept very
Quiet, out 1t finally leaked out, as such
things always will.
The official was John c. Wade. Plumbing
Inspector of the city and county. His
position is a very important one and re-
uuires an expert to carry out its duties.
Wade was an appOintee of the Board OF
Health and was very we'll liked. He al
ways gave satisfaction in the performance
of his duties.
Wade's mental lapse was only OF recent
occurrence. During the last year he had
considerable trouble with his wife. The
divorce SUIT in the court was full OF the
most Interesting details, aud Wade came
in for what is called good share of
roasting" He afterward complained BIT
terly of this and appeared to be very Sensi-
tive on the point.
Although he fought the divorce case very
hard. yet he was unsuccessful in his a L
tempt to prevent legal separation. His
wife won her case and left her husband.
After some months of separation recon-
Citation was effected. and the couple
buried all their differences and commenced
life's journey anew.
1t was only within the last month that
Wade began to show symptoms of insan-
ity. An operation which was performed
on him intensified the complaint. AMI soon
he was asOlental wreck
Wade's insanity took very violent
form. and he attempted to make away
with himself by cutting mis- throat with a
razor. So dangerous did the city's Plumb
ing Inspector become that his wife had to
have him taken before the Commissioners
On Insanity, and he was sent 10 Agnews.
Assistant Allen is at present discharg-
ing the duties of Plumbing Inspector. but
on next "Wednesday when the Board of
Health meets a successor to Wade will be
appointed. The members If the board are
now endnav0ring tn agree on man. and
before the next meeting will probably
have determined nn one for the place.

prominent. A large assemblage was at

and several war tunes were combined.
