A POOR CRAZY BOY TIED LIKE
 A BEAST.
A Fitting Subject for the State

Bicyclists who rode out to Sulphur Springs awheel Sunday report seeing very pitiful sight about four miles south of town on the Sulphur Springs road and one mile south of T. $. Jam es' residence. Atthe house on the left side of the road about the place Indicated, we are informed, there is q poor crazy boy, almost grown to manhood, who is raving mad an who on yesterday was tied like beast with a rope and collaw around his neck to the front of the porch, in full view of all passers-by. He walks around to the full length of his rope, and conducts himself much like a beast tied to post. When he reaches the end of his rope he gives lunge backwark and then starts over again. Those who wit messed this sad sight yesterday had their hearts moved to pity.
 We have an insane asylum in this State for the benefit of the unfortu- nate insane, and this case should be investigated by the proper author ities and the unfortunate boy con fined in the State Asylum.

Delegates are al- ready arriving in large numbers and the convention promises to be a large and enthusiastic gathering. The choice of delegates-at-la will be dictated by the Wall-Vilas mach inc. A large number of names are mentioned, but the personnel of the delegateon remains problematical, though it is generally conceded that General Edward $. Bragg, who pre- fers 10 try for a seat in Congress to the gubernatorial nomina ton offer edshim by the machine, will be chosen to head the delegation. General Bragg is a sound money man to the core and if sent to the national con- yention he may be expected to play a prominent part in the fight over the currency plank.
