Madison, April %.
There were transferred from the
hospital for the insaDe at MendSta to
the Dane county asylum Tuesday, thir
teen patients, seven women and six

the transfer WAS made in an adiniM BILE
manner. The Dane county asylum
now has 163 patients, about equally di-
vided as to sex, Five patients have
recently been transferred TO Richland
county as state charges. The limit of
the Dane county asylum is now nearly
reached. Most all the inmates were
out on the lawns Tuesday afternoon
and it seemed to do them good to be
cut in the sunlight and fresh air. The
asylum is in splendid condition, and
all the patients show affectionate re-
gard for the superintendent and ma
trJn.
The poor house has at present SO
patients, 30 men and 81 women, several
well known characters of the capital
city being among the number. They
are all looking we'll and are loud in
their praise OF the treatment they re-
celye. At this institution, Miss Clara
Edwin, daughter of the superintendent,
is great favorite. Miss Edwin is now
in Madison, taking a short course at
the university.
The work on the poor farm has COM
menced, such as blowing, dragging,
seeding, etc, and those of the patients
who are able and willing are permitted
to do little work.
There are three ex-soldiers in the
asylum, one of whom is transient, the
other two being from Cottage Grove
and Sun Prairie.
