INSANE OF KANSAS.


According toa Topeka Paper, Mental Dis
eases Are Increasing.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb, l5.-The Topeka
Mail has discovered, from official
statistics, that insanity in Kansas is
increasing. 1t says: June 80, 1890,
there were 1913 insane people in the
Topeka asylum and 5O4 in the 0sa-
watomie asylum, making total Of l.
2s7 insane people in the state. In 1899
the number had increased to
749 in Topeka and $40 at 0sa-
watomie, making | ESQ. In 1894 the num-
Der had reached 1853 in Topeka and 657
at 0sawatomie, making total Of l,4l0.
In 1896 the number had increased to
l,7S6. These figures do not cover all
the insane of the state, for there are in
every county a number of insane peo-
pie who cannot get into the regular
asylum for lack of room. The
population of Kansas has de-
creased since 1890. The United States
census showed the population of the
state to be l,42S, 4s5 in 1890. The
decennial census of the state in 1895
showed that the population was 1884,
7S4 on March of that year, and the
probability is it is even less now. With
a decrease in population since 1890 of
perhaps 100000, or about one-four-
teenth, we have an increase of over 500
insane, or over Al per cent

Proposition to Give Sham Battle on the
Original Field.
DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 16.-It is pro-
posed to give the Iowa militia new
kind Of vacation this year. Gov. Drake
is in receipt Of an invitation to send
the entire state guard to the celebra-
ton of the anniversary Of the battle Of
Wilson's Creek, Mo-, in August. Tho
executive committee for the occasion
includes the governors Of Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa. Arkansas and Texas, tho
states that had troops in the battle SO
years ago. 1t is proposed to have each
state send the same number OF regi.
ments that 1t had in the original battle,
and to give sham battle on the origi.
nal field, under commanders who served
at the battle. Gov. Drake, who served
in Missouri two years, is impressed
with the plan, and wants to send the
Iowa guard to this celebration instead
Of holding the regular summer encamp-
ments. 1t is possible this will be done
II the members of the guard desire it.

With the threatened outbreak OF hos

This means great deal to the Ameri.

that American wheat must be in

OF the result of the exciting event off
