THE INSANE OF MONTANA.
Them Is the Larges
Item of State Expense.

Helena, Oct. 9.-The cost of maintain
ing the insane is the largest item of ex-
pense of the state government, and has
been ever since the territory undertook
to care for these unfortunates. The
state paid out on that account alone $llS,-
700 during the fiscal year ended Novem-
Der 80, 1896, and this year the account
will be larger, as more patients have been
cared for. Mitchell & Mussigbrod receive
on their present contract 90 cents day
for each patient taken care of for the
state. There are 400 inmates in the asy-
lum, and the number is steadily increas-
ing. Under the new contract Mitchell &
Mussigbrod will receive G5 cents day
for each patient, a reduction of 25 cents
a day from the old rate.
