Sherman relates in his book that III
July, 1879, he visited his farm near
Mansfield, and there gave utterance to
an expression which has since become
a common term in politics. In an
swer to serenade from his neighbors
he said that he had come home "puaely
on business-to repair my fences and
look after neglected property" His
reference was to the fences on his
farm, which he had found in sadly
dilapated state, but the newspapers
gave it political significance, and
since then, as he says, "every politician
engaged in strengthing his position is
said to be mending his fences"

Her Asylums Filled With Insane From
Other States. .
DIES MONIES, Nov. 21.-The state ex-
ecutive council held meeting for the
discussion of recent revelations that
states adjoining Iowa have been
systematically sending their pau
per insane patients into Iowa
and getting them cared for at the ex.
pense of this state. At the conclusion
of the meeting Secretary of State Nc
Farland stated that the council was
satisfied that fully 300 insane people
were being supported in Iowa, who had
been sent into the state from Illinois,
Nebraska and Missouri. The plan is to
send them into an Iowa county, from
which they are sent to the asylum as
nonresident patients and the state is
compelled to pay for their support Of
the rate of $14 per month.
The council determined that hereafter
the state will charge each county with
the expense Of supporting all patients
sent from it to state institutions, whether
they be residents of the county or not
The county officers, it is charged, have
been in the habit of allowing themselves
to be made parties of the scheme t.
swindle the state, because they are al
lowed fees for all patients they take t.
the asylums. The new arrangement
will put an end to the practice.

Border County Officials Reap a Rich Har-

vest In Caring For Illinois Insane.
Dies MONIES, Nov. 16.-The state ex-
ecutive council has discovered what
promises to develop into one of the big
gest scandals ever known in Iowa off,
cial circles. Under the laws insane
patients who cannot pay for support in
state hospitals must be cared for by the
counties from which they are sent if
they have residence in the counties.
Patients who have no residence are
cared for at the states expense. Inves-
tigation has developed the fact that in
sane persons from Illinois counties adj
joining Scott county in Iowa have been
sent over to Iowa and taken to Iowa
asylums as state patients by Scott
county officials. The council declares
this has been going on for long time
in other border counties as well as in
Scott, the county officials reaping rich
harvest in fees and mulcting the state.
A thorough investigation will be made.
