TURNED HIN OUT.
An Insane Nan Sent Home from the
Topeka ASYLUM,

A remarkable action on the part Of
the insane asylum authorities at To
peka has come to light. 1t will be
remembered that about May 20
Charles Rennecker, bachelor in
Rinehart township, was tried in the
probate court, adjudged insane and
sent to the asylum. He was not at all
times ungovernable, his insanity tax
ing an intermittent form. He was
constantly growing worse and threat
ened to shoot some Of his neighbors.
He hid his money in holes and fence
corners and otherwise showed HIM
self irrational. Chas. Hollinger was
appointed trustee for his few possess
sions and although he was promised
regular reports regarding Rennecker's
condition he never received a word
from the authorities.
Last night Mr.. Hollinger was sur
prised to see his ward come to his
home in Rinehart, haggard, wild and
pitiful. He was himself sufficiently,
however, to tell his story. He said
the asylum authorities had taken him
to the train yesterday and given him
a ticket to Chapman. Being put off
there he wandered out to his old
neighborhood.
Today Mr.. Hollinger brought the
unfortunate man to town to see what
should be done with him. The insane
asylum authorities have acted with
their usual incompetency in turning
loose an insane man, dangerous alike
to himself and the public.
Judge Hutchinson telegraphed this
afternoon to Topeka asking whether
the man was discharged in the man
ner he says he was. He will be cared
Tor until proper steps can be taken
Tor returning him to the asylum.

A Difficult Examination.

The county examining board will
not be able to issue certificates until
Saturday or Monday, owning to the
large number Of papers to be examin-
ed. Some Of the questions were par
ticularly hard and the arithmetic
papers look, after the correcting pen
Gil has gone over them, like a map of
the Chicago strikes. The arithmetic
questions were prepared by a man
named Stryker who runs little
"business college" at Great Bend. He
was appointed on the examining
board by Lewelling over supt. Gaines
protest that he was unfit for the
place. Lewelling insisted that he had
promised him the job for campaign
work and he was given it, 1t might
be good thing to have the educa-
tional interests Of the State run in
the cause of eleva ting our schools in
stead of being formed out to pay Pop
ulist campaign debts. Those who fail
because of the puzzling and unfair
examination questions prepared by
Stryker can blame Pop politics for it.

PEARLS IN FAVOR.

raris Women of Fashion Declare That
These Are the Mode.
The leaders of fashion in Paris have
declared that pearls shall be the most
fashionable of all ornaments this win
ter Strings of fine pearls will be
twisted in and out among the coils of
the hair, a happy revival of the styles
in vogue IN the days of Louis Quinze,
when the ladies of France wore their
hair powdered and decked with pearls.
The use of pearls will not be confined
to the hair, however, for they will be
worn in every kind of a necklace, from
single bow to wide collar made of
rows of pearls caught together with a
diamond clasp at intervals around the
neck.
A long, slender chain of pearls is an
other fancy. and this is worn twice
around the throat. forming a kind OF
necklace. 1t falls in graceful loops to
the waist, and is caught at one side OF
the corsage by a jewclcd pin.
For those who can not afford the
genuine article there are surprisingly
good reproductions of the most costly
pearls. Art has improved on the old
fashioned imitation, which never var
led in color from the waxy whiteness,
and now the changing tints are
brought out in all the exquisite color
ings of the real gem.
