STORY TOLD BY A DOCTOR OF A
KANSAS INSTITUTION.
Openly Complains That Member of
the State Beard of Charities Is
Culpable Member.

Kansas City, Oct. 9.-A special to the
Journal from Topeka, Kan. says:
Dr. C. II. Wetmore has rendered his
resignation as superintendent of the state
insane asylum at Topeka to Governor
Leedy and the state board of charities.
Accompanying the resignation was ia
letter to the governor, in which DR.. W9t
more gave his reasons for resigning. The
letter tells an astounding story of alleged
cruelty, inhumanity and debauchery at
that institution under the present man
agement. The doctor tells of alleged in
stances of death of patients from neg
lect; speaks of the ''drunkards and in
competents placed over the unfortunate
inmates" charges that a state Joint
exists at the asylum; accuses Chairman
II. G. Jumper of the state board of char
tiles with being on a continual debauch
for the past Is months and openly charges
subordinate officials with attempting to
ruin pure women.
These are only a few of the sensational
charges made in the letter. which is pub
lished in full. DR.. Wetmore- declares he
stands ready to prove every charge and
says he can prove even more.
DIR. Wetmore is an apDointee of the
present Populist administration.

Washington, D. c., oct. 9.-Indian COM
missioner Jones, in his annual report for
the year ending June 80, 1898, has this to
say of the work of allotting lands on the
/ Uncompahgre reservation:
THE commission was unable to make
any aIlotments until April l, 1898. on
which date all lands in the reservation,
except those containing gilsonite, elater-
| ite and other like substances, were opened
| to settlement and entry. A number of al
| lotments were, however, made to the Un-
/ compahgreS on the Uintah reservation.
/ From information received from the COM
mission, it is believed that it has made
4 many allotmentS to Indians who were
I not in occupation of the lands allotted,
/ but were unwilling to remove to the Uin-
! tab reservation. l doubt the authority of
I law to make such aIlotmentS, and am OF
/ the opinion that there is some question
/ as to whether, when the Indians were in
! possession, the lands can be allotted To
| gress should be asked to legalize the al
i lotments on the Uncompahgre reservation
after the first day of April, 1883. There
! appears to be no objection TO such legis-
/ lation.''
The commissioners report that the Fort
! Hall Qdaho) Indians have agreed to sur
render a portion of their reservation to
the United States, but that congress has
not ratified the agreement. The Uintah
and White River Utes have also agreed
to relinquish a portion of their lands for

there. 1t has been submitted to con-
gress, but no action has been taken by
! that body. The commissioner says that
| it is expected the commission that ne
gotiated these treaties will have COM
/ pleted the work assigned to it by next
April.
! As to the work of the new Uintah COM
missioners, the commissioner reports their
appointment, but says they will probably
! 1T commence work on that reservation
until they shall have completed their worl;
on the Uncompahgre reservation.
I : considerable portion of the report is
devoted to the financial difficulties of the
Idaho Canal company, contractors for
the construction of canal at the Fort
Hall Qda.) reservation. Chief Inspector
/ Graves, in charge Of irrigation work, has
been directed to make a report. The CON-
! missioner expresses the opinion that legal
! proceedings will probably be necessary to
protect the interests of the government.

INTENTIONS OF THE REDS.
Have Sworn to Drive All Troops
From the Reservation.

Minneapolis. Oct. ga special to the
Tribune from Walker says: 1t is reported
tonight on the authority of a citizen who
has conversged with a hostile Pillager
Indian. one who was in Wednesdays bat
tie, and who has sat in all the councils
of the Pillagers, that the Indians have
Sworn to an agreement to accomplish. If
possible. the following: They will attempt
in a few days to drive from the reServa-
ton all of the troops already there. They
will. il they are successful in the above,
not allow any United States authorities
or United States troops thereafter to land
upon the reservation. If troops land upon
a point not inhabited by the hostile IL
dians an attempt will be made to drive
them off as soon as possible.
The man who gave this information is
believed to be thoroughly reliable. He
had an extended conference with General
Bacon tonight.
That the Indians have been gathering
for several days is a well known fact, and
il seems perfectly reasonable to suppose
that they are gathering for an attack
upon a body of troops at least 200 strong,
as those at the agency are. Up to date
