by a Kansas school teacher:
A cowboy has three ponies
and n Mexican saddle which
are worth 1920. Placing the
saddle on the first ponymakes
it worth the other two; pIac-

A THIRD ASYLUM.
DR.. Eastman's Suggestion For Addi-
tional Insane Room.

tional Insane Room
To Editor Topeka state Journal
I noticed in the Journal Of May % the
following item: so many insane peo-
pie are being taken out to the asylum
from this county that DR.. Eastman is
making strong objections to taking
more. The time may come when
Shawnee county must build a county
lnhrmary." 1t occurs to me that your
readers may be Interested in state
ment regarding the capacity of the two
aSylums at Topeka and OsaWatOmie
and the number Of patients in these in
stituti0ns.
The institution at Osawatomie COM
prISeS main building and two de-
tached buildings 1T has a capacity for
509 men and 534 women, total of 1,O43-
me topeka asylum consists OF q main
building mot yet completely and q de-
tached building for men, with a ca
paclty for $50 men and 1875 women, q to-
tai OF 100. this gives total accOmmO-
dation in the state for 1,069 men and
i29 women, a grand total of 1,798.
All applications for admission to
either asylum are made to the super
1ntendent of the Topeka institution for
the purpose of utilizing the capacity Of
the institutions in the manner most
convenient to the the stae. When
there is room at both the institutions
patlentS are assigned to that one which
IS most accessible from the county
where the patient belongs. Prior to the
of a detached building for women, both
the Institutions were practically full
and many patients We're necessarily
refused admission. Since that time We
have been able to accept applications
as they came in and still have few
vacancies. The asylum at OsaWatOmie
can receive about forty men but no
women "A patient accepted from Lin
coin county last week takes the last
vacant bed in the WOmen's department
Moreover, both institutions have q good
many visitors out who are likely to re-
turn without notice Inasmuch. there
fore, as we have no vacant beds for
women here and seventeen women out
on visit, the reason why [ object to
receiving any more women from Shaw
nee county is not the fact that so many
patients have been received from this
county, but the more important fact
that we have no room for women.
In a very short time both the insti-
tutiOns will be completely filed and
there Will still be several hundred in
sane persons in the state unable to
gain admission for want of room. The
question arises, therefore, what shall
be dOne2
The item quoted suggests a county
infirmary, but in my opinion this not
the Wisest solution of the difficulty.
The state by constitutional provision
engages to take care of all its insane.
and this should be done in state inSti-
tutions. The wisest solution of this
question would be for the next 1egisla-
ture to complete the Topeka asylum by
the erection of another ward building.
of a third asylum at some suitable
point farther west Very truly yours,

superintendent.

THE BLUE AND GRAY MEET
ToStrew Flowers on the Gravesof I'm
ion Soldiers at New Orleans.

New Orleans. Nav 2S.=The union vet
Grams went down to Chalmette yester-
day, as has been the annual custom for
years, and distributed flowers on the
base of the monument dedicated to the
heroes who fell in the war between the
states. The participants in the ceremo-
MES were not as numerous as they have
been in past years, but the ceremonies
We're the same and as impressive as
the first day they were inaugurated.
The ceremonies were the same as
they have been for years Upon arrival
of the boat the union veterans formed
in line, and preceded by pIass
hand, marched to the monument that
is erected midway in the cmetery- The
confederate veterans and the guests
followed. Arriving at the base Of the
monument there was found repOsing on
the mound a single floral offering in the
shape of q shield with flowers of red
white and blue interviewer Col a. s.
Graham. master of the ceremonies, ad-
dressing himself to the gathering as
the union soldiers took up positions to
the right and the confederate veterans
on the left, said he was glad to welcome
those who had come to 90 hOnOr TO the
dead soldiers of the union They We're
met in a bivOuac of the dead, where
the bodies of ~. 600 soldiers lay buried
The gray heads that were represented
in the assembly We're the few OF those
left who had survived on both sides
and those who wore the blue on one
side were there to accept honor from
side Two sides that were and one side
to be hencefOrth. Tt was a wonderful
occasion. AS the years crept around and
brought the event at hand the flowers
of the blue mingled with those of the
gray on the same mound, and the
hearts Of the one grew warmer to the
other
Col Graham then called for the floral
decorations Messrs. J. j. Weinfurter
and Morgan Jenkins, for the continent
tai guards, stepped forward and pre-
scented a broken shaft of white and
green of natural flowers. Next repre-
sentatives of the battalion, Washington
artillery, placed at the foot of the
mound a crescent and star of natural
flowers. The Ladies' Confederate Me-
mortal association contributed a pillow
of natural flowers. The Army of Ten
nessee rendered a floral scroll and Mrs
Col KfnbOurn streWed the mound with
white flowers from beautiful bouquet.
As each of the offerings We're contrib
uted, Col. Graham made cOmplimenta-
~ addresses to the dOners- He really
filed UP when accepting the cOntrIbu-
ton from the Louisiana Field artillery,
as he dWelt upon the big heart OF a
man of them who was missing. In ac-
cepting the Army of Tennessee dOna-
ton he again expressed himself feeling
~, thanking them for the regularity
and punctuality with which they ap-
peared at Chalmette on such occasions.
The ceremony at the shaft being con-
cluded, the visitors were hidden to pro-
coed to the raised arbor, where Rev. w
c. Pierce, of the Church of the Messiah,
would deliver an address.

BURroN's MAN JOHNSON
Johnson County Republicans Prepar-
ing to Turn Him Down.

There has been some denial Of the
charge that j. 3. Johnson, recently
nominated for representative in John
son county, was and is a Burton man
The story has been told that George
Clark. secretary of the state board Of
charities, went to johnson county at
Burton's solicitation and fixed things
UP for Johnson as a Burton man. Then
came the denial Of the story, and now
comes the following from the Olathe
Tribune
That our would-be representative.
Mr.. johnson of Gardner is a tool Of j.
r. Burton admits of little doubt
we have it from good authority
that a short time before the RepubH-
can convention held here, Mr.. j. r.
Burton, accompanied by a well known
local boss, visited MIR. Johnson and in
terVieWed him as to his position ON the
United States senate fight. and Mr.
Johnson having been found pliable, his
nomination was thereupOn decided on
BY putting this and that together
the voters of Johnson county viii read
lily see that a vote cast for Mr.. Johnson
this fall is a vote for j. R. Burton for
United States senator
Ihe voters Of johnson county viii see
that MT. j b. johnson is elected-lo

Is What Van Prather Calls Bank
Commissioner BreidenthaL

Chairman John w. Prudential of the
POpulist state central committee, seems
to be in imminent danger of 0stracism
by his own party, that is, if some Of
tn members of that party are listened
to. First the Snow COstlgan faction
gets after him, then Mrs. Lease has
fun a his expense and says mean
things of him, and now Van B. Prath-
err, state auditor under the LeWelling
administration says unkind things of
the bank commissioner in nantes
He calls Prudential "the Populist
Caesar" who is being fed with Repub-
hcan -taffy,' and allowed to hold the
most lucrative office In the Republican
administration. He goes on to state,
however, that the bank examiner is not
by any means a. favOrite of the POpu-
list party that he fell far behind the
lead IN 1890 when the ROpulst vote
gave a 10000 majority. Under Breid-
enthals leadership he shows that the
party's majority fell to only 1000 IN
1892, and that in 1894 the party was
badly defeated and all its officials, eX-
cept Breidenthal. turned out. As a
cause of this Mr. Prarher claims that
Breidenthal has protected Republican
bankers and failed to protect the peO-
pie from fraudulent banking, thus gain
ing the friendship of the Republican
party. He charges that Breidenthal
is riding all over the state on free
transportation, debating to the people
who they shall nominate on the state
ticket
The manifesto says. THE chairman S
slate is all prepared from governor
down to the last office. and it is not
right for him to use his official posi-
ton thus. The Populist party is not
going to submit to this one man pow
err. even if this one man is the special
POpulist pet of the Republican party.
Let us avoid the breakers ahead by
getting away from bossism"
BreidenthaIs chief fault, according
to Prather's allegations, in his ambi-
ton to be United States senator He
claims that the state bank examiner
peka, and promulgated the scheme he
had outlined to obtain his great aim
of being senator.

M'KINLEY'S MAJORITY.
Has 80 of the 81 Mem bers of the Ma
tional Committee.

Washington. May 28-The last hope
of the Platt-M anley- CIarksOn combine
to defeat the nomination of Mckinley
has vanished.
The Ohioan has captured the Repub-
Hcan national committee.
Platts last hope was that the ma
tiOnaI committee would make up a
temporary roll of the convention in
such a way as to make it possible
to count Mckinley out, or to create
such confusion that McKinley's south
ern supporters could be purchased
by wholesale. Mckinley and his astute
managers, understanding Platt's game
took measures to defeat him just as
they defeated him in state after state
in the selection of delegates.
The Mckinley people announce that
they have 80 of the 81 members of the
committee
