THE ASYLUM PARK.
A Plan to Benutify the Lunatic Asy-
Ium Grounds.


Ium Grounds.
The Lunatic Asylum management have
led the way in park improvement this sum
mer in practical manner that wiz pro-
duce good results.
The original idea in the work of beauti-
flying these grounds is to convert that part
of the space now not available for recrea-
ton for the patients from its being barren
when dry and too muddy when wet into
chain of lakes and islands, bosky dells.
howery plateaus, and in all preserve a wild
naturalness that shall suggest the hand of
nature, and not rigid lines, angles and fri
angles, SO common in the works of man.
MIR. Seiders, the florist of the institution.
went north last spring to study the park
and garden systems of our eastern cities,
and is now putting into effect, with the
nearly approval of Superintendent Wor-
than, the results of his observations.
Another great good to come from this
effort is that it will be an experiment sta
ton and botanical observation grounds for
the habits of our native plants, shrubs and
trees, as well as those from all other parts
OF the world, as Mr.. Seiders is assured
OF the cooperation of eastern florists who
are eager to study our novel fora, as they
are to be intelligently informed as to effect
of our climate on more northern vegeta-
ton.
The lakes are to swarm with goldfish and
trout that shall find shade and privacy I'M
der the victoria regia and nymphia oder
alto, in fact all kinds of aquatic plants
from modest watercress to Egyptian papy-
rus will be given an opportunity to do
their part in changing the desert to u
dream.
A system of side drains will prevent the
surface water at times of heavy rains
from flooding and destroying the lake sys-
TEN, and vast quantities of black soil from
the Old swamp are being hauled to dyke
the margin of the lakes and elevate the
islands, as well as give strong soil on top
food.
The up-to-date method of treating the
insane is to consider them as invalids,
VINO need rest and variety in which to
restore their equipoise, and no effort is
heing spared at our state hospital for the
insane to IN every way provide amusement
and change for our unfortunates.

Professor Haworth of the Kansas state
university has located an underground
river near Newton, in that state, which
runs through or under the counties of
Harvey and Mcpherson, and is said TO be
in some places twenty-five miles wide,
and its depth has not been ascertained.
The citizens of Newton in Harvey county
found their supply of water insufficient,
and Professor Haworth made survey
of the county and informed the citizens
that if they would dig at certain places
in the county, they would find water.
They did so. and last week it was de-
velopcd that the pumps were lifting from
the depths below 1000 gallons of pure
water per minute, enough for the town
of Newton forever. The map made by
Professor Haworth indicates this river.
and the lines follow its course. In Nc
PhersOn county tradition told of an I'M
dcrground river Deep wells were dug.
and when the bucket was let down it
was pulled down stream as if by a strong
current. This is the same river indicated
by lines on Professor Haworth's man.
Professor Haworth would have been n
very valuable man for us to have cmploy-
ed about the time we built the dam.

Mayor Hancock yesterday authorized
the publication of the fact that he
would not be a candidate for reelection
al the coming election. He says that
he had come to this conclusion some
time ago, and desires it stated author
itatively at the present time. The fact
that Mayor Hancock will not run for
reelection leaves the field open for new
material entirely and will also play
quite a figure in the aldermanic races
for the reason that several of the old

cocks managers. Now that the mayor
