A SUIT OVER MANILA"
State Agricultural board Expects
One to BE Filed.

The State Board of Agriculture will have
a lawsuit on its hands. At the time the
state fair was being held last summer the
state board arranged with the Pains Fire
works Company for the presentation of it's
spectacle, THE Battle of Manila" for
which the board was to pay $780, exclu-
sive of advertising. The production was of
such a character that it gave little salts
faction and all the members of the board
united in criticising it to the managers Of
the company. This led up to a misunder-
standing and on Thursday of fair week the
representative of the company asked the
board for 500 with which TO meet pressing
expenses. 1t was given to him along with
a lecture about the mediocrity of the per-
Torrance, with the result that the board
was notified that unless all the money due
The company was paid al once there would
be no show that night Seeing their predica-
ment, the members of the board paid 81 900

the state hoard refused to pay all II agreed

$500 due.
The state board feels that 1t has been i'm

claim To Hawkins * Smith. of this city ask

NORTHERN INSANE HOSPITAL.
More Room and More Money the Cry
There


The report of the Northern Insane Hos
'pital was received by the Governor yester-
day. 1t is a bulky document of about four
hundred typewriter pages. At the start
the report says that there are now one
thousand patients throughout the State who
cannot be admitted to the insane hospitals
of the State because of lack of room OF
this number four hundred are at private
homes or are vagrant while the rest are
housed in county institutions, where their
condition becomes worse each day. Fifteen
years ago plans were made for the erection
of two new buildings, but for some reason
they were afterwards omitted from the
plans. The board now recommends that
these buildings be built. Special wards for
patients requiring isolation and hospital
treatment are badly needed, as at present
there are 610 patients crowded into the quar-
tiers of the institution. The proposed two
new buildings will cost about 5000 and
will accommodate two hundred patients. All
funds appropriated for the institution have
been exhausted, the biennial appropriation
of $94, 500 being scarcely enough to carry on
the work under the present system.
The board recommends that there should
be some substantial increase in the amount
appropriated for the institution and ADDS
that 1T should be subdivided into special
funds. 1t is suggested that the next two
years work will require 100000 for the
maintenance OF the institution alone. This
will include however. clothing, minor inn
for increase of room be granted, the board
says the per capita cost of caring for pa
tients will be $165. Besides the building to
cost $50 COO the board asks for $11 $50 for
water works and additional boiler capacity.
New barns silo and stables for eighty cat
tie and sixteen horses will cost $780, all
a which a ~ there were
3l2 men and 324 women, altogether 636 in
mates in the institution. During. the first
year covered by the report ffty-three died
while the deaths amounted to fiftyfour
during the last year. The average number
of inmates during the two years was 1856
During the first year fifty-seven or 30 per
cent, were discharged as recovered, while
during the second year, forty, or "A Fer
cent, were discharged.

NO TELEPHONE "SELL-OUT."
Both of the Companies Deny Stories
of Negotiations.

A statement was made yesterday by a
man interested in telephone investments
that the Central Union Telephone Company
had made several futile efforts to buy out
the New Telephone Company, but failed to
offer price that the New Company de-
manded. Both General Manager Vail, OF
the Central Union, and S. p. Sheerin, of the
New Company, denied, when questioned last
night, that any overtures had passed be-
tween the two companies.
MIR. Vail stated in reply to further ques-
tons, that the Central Union was not pre-
pairing to cut rates the first of the year to
compete with the New Company. He felt
quite sure the New Company would not be
In operation for many months, believing ii
impossible for the company to get it's eX-
change room open for business within al
most a year. MIR. Vail said the old company
would depend on a comparison of the serv-
ice offered in its bid for the patronage of
subscribers. The New Company people
smile at this assertion.

THE Aun1roR,s REPORT.
1t Makes a Thrust at the Assessment
Companies.


The auditor of state yesterday submitted
his annual report of the insurance depart
ment. In the first paragraph he makes the
statement that for the year ending June 80,
1898 the people of Indiana paid $S,179 241. SO
to insurance companies belonging in other
States or foreign countries This does not
include premiums paid to assessment and
fraternal associations doing business in this
State, the reports of most of these associa-
tions being such that the Indiana premiums
cannot be separated from their receipts
from other States. In addition to this, there
are several companies operating under spe-
cial charters granted prior to the adoption
of the present Constitution, which make no
reports to the department, and number of
fraternal societies take advantage of the
exemption of the law and make no reports.

The auditor believes that the law in refer
ence to assessment companies should be
strengthened and a law passed requiring
fraternal companies to come under state SUI
perVisiOn. Many of them are incorporated
under the law of 1883, which does not re-
quire them to maintain a reserve or pay the
full amount stipulated in their certificates,
as does the act of 1897.
Continuing, the report says: mo com

"A number of companies have in compi-
