OUR COUNTY INSANE.
They Are to Be Provided For at
the Poor Farm.
A SPECIAL ASYLUM BUILT THERE.

Tie Poor House is Now Ably Managed
and she Entire Daily Ezpedse is sut
Ton Cents.
The improvements at the county poor
farm have been completed and three of
the county insane have been taken there
to be cared for. The unfortunates will
have whole building to theInseles and
they will be kept as securely as if they
were at the state asylum. Carpenters
have built cells in which the insane will
sleep and in the daytime they will be al
lowed the freedom of a large Enclosure.
And attendant will be- provided to care
for the men and one for the women and
the county commissioners will see that
they have the best of care.
The county, it seems. is fortunate in
having the right kind of man at the head
of the institution. His name is j. E.
Taylor, and he was not elected because
of "what he did for the party" The
inmates speak in the highest terms of
Taylor, and the neat appearance of the
rooms and every thing about the farm
indicates that he understands the man
agement of the place.
A remarkable thing about the county
poor farm is that it only costs the county
mates and keep up the farm.
This includes the salary of
the superintendent and all other
expenses This result is made possible
by the productions of the farm. The in
mates have meat twice day and fresh
meat one day in a week; they have cof-
fee once and tea twice day. The rest
of their bill of fare is made up of bread
sauce, beans and vegetables in sea son.
A Silver Lake farmer visited the farm
a short time ago and saw what the in
mates ate and he hnnted up the commis-
siOners and complained that they were fed
too well, and that the county could
not afford to feed its poor as we'll as they
are being fed now. lie was astounded
when told that it only costs the county
ten cents day to care for all of the in
mates and went away satisfied.
The movement to move the INDECENT
insane to the poor farm was started by
County Commissioner Rodgers, who. on
a visit to the BsdwelI asylum, where they
have been cared for, found some of them
working in the field. He concluded that
if they were able to work the county
should receive the benefit of their
labors. The county has paid fifty cents
day for the care of each one of the in
sane at the Bedwell asylum, and they
concluded that they could give them as
good or better care at a very much less
cost to the county. Besides there is an
excellent hospital at the poor farm where
the sick can be cared for as they de-
serve.
Probate Judge Wood objects to the
re moval of the insane, and the proprie-
tors of the Bedwell place also object
as might be expected. But as soon as
possible the sixteen inmates kept by
the county at the BadweI aavIum will
be taken to the poor farm One thing
needed at the farm, however, is a physi-
clan. One should be kept there con
stantly if the insane are kept there. AS
it is now there is not even a telephone at
the farm, and some one must ride in
every time the county physician is
| needed.

DISTRICT COURT TODAY.

senetOr Sterne Gets Favorable Dscisfon-
Tally Divorce Case-Other Matters.
Judge Hazen decided several cases and
motions this morning at the opening Of
district court.
One of the most interesting was the
case of the assignees of the United
States Savings bank against w. E. Sterne
to recover $4,000 on a stockholders liza
bility as a stakeholder in the Topeka
Pressed Brick company
Mr.. Sterne owned So, 900 of the stock in
the brick company, and in 1889 traded
his stock to James Smith for Il $4,000
note of the Sedalia Water company and
an equity in some lots on Kansas avenue.
The brick company owed the bank about
$4,000, aud when the bank sued the brick
company and got judgment against it,
it was unable to COLLECT it, SO it sued Mr..
Sterne claiming the transfer of his stock
was fraud on the creditors of the brick
| company.
Judge Hazen said that the plaintiffs
had not only failed to prove that the
transfer was a fraud on the creditors, but
the evidence on the contrary tended to
show that the brick company was solvent
at the time of the transfer of the stock,
and that the plaintiffs had also failed to
show that Smith, the man who bought
the stock, was insolvent
Judge HaZen also refused to grant
Amanda Tally a divorce from her hus-
band. Joseph Tally, saying that no cause
for a divorce had been shown. The
judge, in a side remark, said that the
had shown was a fight which
occurred one night, and as the
fight had resulted in draw
and the parties had lived in the same
house and eaten at the same table ever
since he would not grant the divorce,
| and that the lawyers had better advise
their clients to make up and not spend
their farm and property in litigation.
Judge Hazen also refused to grant
George Fl. Evans an Injunction against
Sheriff Burdge to restrain the sheriff
from selling some of his property at
sheriff's sale. Mr.. Evans claimed that
his wife had not been served with sum-
mons In the original suit Deputy Sheriff
Dan Jones testified he had served the
summons by slipping it under the
kitchen door of Mr.. Evans house. Mr..
Evans claimed that a summons could not
be pushed in under his kitchen door.
That night after court adjourned Jones
went with Evans to the door under
which he had slipped the summons and
him that 1t was possible. The next
morning Jones testified to what he had
done. This evidence settled the point

GOING BACK TO RUSSIA.

Oscar Bisohoff Taking Russians Bach
Where They Get 40 Acres of Land.
Oscar Bischoff special emigrant agent,
will in few days accompany a coach
load of Russians from North Topeka to
New York via the Santa Fs to Saratow,
Russia,
They will sail on the Hamburg Ameri-
can Packet line from New York to Ham
burg, from there they go by rail through
the German empire to point called
Eydtkuhn which is on the line between
Germany and Russia.
At this point they will exchange their
United States gold into Russian rubles,
both paper and silver.
From Eydtkuhn to SaratOw they will
be taken at half rates on the Russian
governmental railway and steam ship
lines by order of the young
czar, who is very liberal and desires as
many OF his subjects to return as posi-.
bic prior to his coronation, which event
will take place in the early part OF No
vember next
Each one Of these householders will be
allotted forty acres of land for agricuI
tural purposes, for which they pay nc
rent or taxes, but they pay what they
term duty to the government of eight
rubles per annum, payable semi annual
ly, namely. in the spring and fall
A ruble is equal to fifty-four cents OIL
Uncle Sans money, which would make
their duty equal to $432 in United States
money.
Franz Spetter, who came here from
Russia several years since, and who ha
prospered here and built himself a fnt
residence at 916 Madison street, North
! Topeka, says that all the Russians car
| go back to Russia, and that the United
| States, and Kansas in particular, is plenty
| good enough for him. He has come t,
stay.

ing upon his impulses and Inadequate
ly conceiving the gravity Of his ven
lures, brings defeat by precipitating
battle before the reformatory forces are
placed and ready for action. Like
thoughtless, impulsiye officer In com
bat, he uncoyeys his own line of battle
prematurely and reveals 10 the enemy
information as to his movements that
gives them an advantage in making at
tack.
Another of this class is the sinister
man, who keeps up personal purpose
back Of and different from the com
mon one that elcits his cooperation !;
who is not frank either in his move
mates the interest of his general move
ment to the success of the personal :;
who does not seek to defeat the general
movement, and is not unfriendly to it,
but will defeat it rather than sacrifice
some individual end in which he is in
terested. The premature man unin-
tentionally, thoughtlessly and impru-
IDENTIFY may bring disaster upon an I'M
dertaking or movement and vet be per-
tectly honest in purpose, but the slnis-
ter one is untrustworthy in every exi
gency where there is possibility OF a
clash between his personal aims and
the broader and better aims OF concert
ed action.
Success demands positive and une
ouivOcal characters, firmness and con-
citation, prudence and unselfshness,
and where these qualities are lacking
all movements are handicapped and
embarrassed. Yet even these difficult
ties can be surmounted and must be
overcome in the actions that look to
the advancement and protection Of the
interest of the individual and society,
and these instructions should not dis
courage, but simply call forth a larger,
moro patient and more persistent effort
for humanity from u.s.

Force Exerted by the Human Jaws.

Scientific american.
DR.. G. V. Blask, a dentist of Jackson
experiments upon the force exerted by
the human Jaws in the ordinary masti-
cation of TODD, and also the greatest force
which the jaws are capable OF exertlng.
By means of spring instrument
provided with registering device he
took records Of about $50 "bltes" of
different persons. OF these, fifty have
been preserved as characteristic Of the
ordinary man, woman and child. The
smallest pressure recorded was 30
pounds, by little girl seven years old.
This was with the incisOrs. The high
thirty-fve. The instrument used only
registered 27O pounds, and he simply
closed it together without apparent eff
fort. There was no method OF deter
mining how far above 27O pounds he
could have gone. This test was made
with the molars. Several persons ex-
oeeded force of 100 pounds with the
incisors and 200 with the molars. The
physical condition of the persons ex-
perimented upon seemed 10 have lit
tie bearing upon the result. Dr..
Black is of the opinion that the condi-
ton Of the peridental membranes is the
controlling factor, rather than muscu-
lar strength.
DR.. Black found that, in the habitu-
al chewing of food, much more force Is
exerted than is necessary. In chewing
piece of beef steak, the crushing
point of which was from 40 to A.
pounds, from 60 to so pounds stress
was actually employed at each thrust
of the teeth The principal articles Of
food tested had crushing points as fol-
lows: Steak, 40 to 45 pounds; NUT
ton chops, 80 to 40pounds broiled ham,
45 to 60 pounds roast beef, 40 to 60
pounds; pork chops, 20 to - pounds,
and the choicest parts of cold bro:led
beef tongue, to ) pounds. The tough
er parts of beef and mutton required a
crushing force OF 80 pounds III some
