ILLINOIS TAKES HER.
Anna Lurena kellogg Is in Jack
sOnviIIe Asylum Now.


sonvilIe Asylum Now.
Anna Lorena Kellogg, late of Man
kato, has returned to her former home
in Jacksonville, Ill. Miss Kellogg has
no friends in Jacksonville, but she was
there SO long it seems almost like home.
The state of Illinois has an insane hos
pital at Jacksonville. Up to 1866, Anna
Lurenas home was in Pekin, Ill. In
that year, the young womans mind be-
came unbalanced, and she was COM
mitted to the hospital. From that time
until December, 1894, over quarter of
century, Miss Kellogg was constant
ly an inmate of this asylum, save
for two short periods in 1873 and 1875.
In the winter of 1S94-5, when she was
released, a Baptist minister in Illinois
tried to reclaim the woman, and after
a brief trial, he wrote to the asylum
authorities and secured her discharge.
His efforts were futile, however, and
she was sent to friends at Kansas City,
Mo. After some unpleasant experiences
they sent her to Nebraska, whence
soon after, she was sent back to the
Kansas City people. They again sent
her away, this time to Oskaloosa, To-,
and her stay there was quite short
Ultimately she turned up in Mankato,
Mimi, where she startled the commun-
ity one day by taking possession of the
Saulpaugh house there, and beginning
a general house cleaning. Her efforts
to remove the stains from this famous
hosiery, however. were met with cold
disapproval by the authorities, who
locked her up, gave her another ex-
animation for insanity and committed
her to the st. Peter asylum in June,
1895. as, while it was learned beyond
doubt that she was a stranger, she
would not divulge her residence. When
Agent Gates, of the state board of cor
rections and charities, began the work
of looking up the antecedents of the
nonresident insane, this was among
the cases that fell to his lot, and the
first of the week he visited her former
home at Pelxin, and after laying the
facts before the county authorities
there, secured their consent to her re-
turn. The woman was then taken back,
and within twenty-six hours from the
time she left the st. Peter hospital, she
had been re-eXamined at Pekin, identi-
fed as the same woman who had been
thrice committed from that place, and
sent back to Jacksonville again.
Her chief fear seems to have been
that she was to be sent to the proposed
asylum for incurables on which Illinois
is now working.
