BATH POLITICS.
Mr.. James w. Wakefield Has Hopes of
Being Liquor Commissioner.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.l

Bath, July 21.-The friends of James
W. Wakefield in this city still have a firm
belief that Gov. Cleaves will appoint him
liquor commissioner, although some peo-
pie say that they believe it will be Port
land man.
1t has been said that should Mr. Wake
field fail to secure the appointment that
he may try for the municipal judgeship
in December when Judge Nathan
Coombs term expires.
Many of Mr.. Wakefeld's adherents
deny this report and say that he would
decline to accept it under any conside-
ration, but it has been said that it was
with this idea in view that he suroye to
have the salary raised last winter.
1t now looks as if Franklin P. Sprague
Bath lawyer and Republican stands
good chance of capturing that plum, as
it is said that he has good backing in
securing the position, such as letters.
petitions, etc. Should Mr. Wakefield
enter the fight, which his friends declare
is not at all likely, it would undoubtedly
be a warm one and might result in the
appointment of a compromise candidate.

fallen into the hands of Bannock Indi-
ans.
Nearly two weeks ago, the students
forming the geological expedition, went
through Union Pass and since that time
kilograms have been received here fol
them without finding any means of de-

to the National Park and were due on
return about the middle of July. They
are in dangerous country if they are
alive,and the fact remains that the gov

activity, as orders were received yester-
day at Fort Wahakie for the sending Fof
an expedition of troops. There are only
43 men at the Post and the expedition
cannot be very formidable, but it is the
best the army can do.
Reports from jackson Hole say there
are fully 800 Indians assembled there and
of the number of so are Shohones from

Washakie says two Indian police and
judges were sent to jackson Hole nearly
two weeks ago and have returned. They
were forcibly detained by the Bannocks
and had to escape by strategy.

police watch over all places for the sell

force that could be used was put on ex-
else duty. The men in many places were
made to undergo extra hours of duty to
watch saloons. The policemen kept their
eyes on all side doors to saloons, and SO
close was the guard that all chances Of
quiet business were rendered impractical

to by saloon keepers to carry on business
despite the vigilance of the police, but

INSANITY CONTAGIOUS.

An interesting discussion upon the SUBJ
Ject of communicated insanity was
brought out at the meeting of the Asso-
citation of Asylum Superinuendents in
1887 by the reading of the history of the
Pocassett letter carrier, Freeman who
with the consent of his wife, who had be-
come possessed of the same fanatical
ideas, offered up their son as sacrifice,
in the manner of Abraham, says Dr. Pill
grina in The Popular Science Monthly.
The insanity of the mother was not de-
tected at the time but in a month she be-
came manifestly insane. As will be seen,
this case cannot be considered typical
one of communicated insanity for the re-
morse and grief which necessarily follow
ed the participation in her husbands fa-
natical act were sufficient to account for
insanity, aside from any influence which
he might have had over her. The discus
sion, however, brought out the interesting
fact that several of the superintendent
present had had experience with cases
which would appear to justify the use of
the term communicated insanity" al
though others objected to it's adoption.
One particularly interesting instance
was related by DR.. Fletcher of Indiana,
where two brothers and sister, living on
farm isolated from the rest of the COM
munity, became, one after the other, con-
trolled by the same insane delusion. They
were Germans, industrious and thrifty,
but uneducated and superstitious. The
elder brother conceived the idea that the
devil had taken possession of their farm
and was secreted under a certain bowlder
in the barnyard. He imagined that no
good crops could be raised until his satan
ic majesty had been uneart ed. He be-
gan reaching and worked for several days
rolling up great powders, until the young
er brother, and finally the sister also be-
came possessed of the same idea also and
lent their assistance.
They all worked for about six weeks,
making an excavation about 20 feet square
and 10 feet deep. They worked SO hard
and became SO emaciated that neighbors
interfered and had them sent to an asy-
lum, where, happily, under the influence
of treatment, change of surroundings and
good diet, they ultimately recovered
