An Insane Asylum scandal In Kansas

DR.. G. H. Wetmore has resigned as
superintendent of the state insane asylum
at Topeka, Kansas, and has made astound-
ing charges 20 Gov. Leedy, alleging cruelty,
inhumanity and debauchery at that institu-
ton under the present management. The
doctor tells of the death of patients from
neglect, speaks of alleged instances of
drunkards and incompetents placed over
the unfortunate inmates, charges that a
'joint" exists at the asylum, accuses Chair
man H. G. Gumper of the state board of
charities with being on continual debauch
for the past 10 months, and openly charges
subordinate officials with attempting to
ruin pure women. These are only a few
of the sensational charges made in the let
ter, which is published in full. DR.. Wet
more declares he stands ready to prove
every charge and says he can prove even
more. DR.. Wetmore is an appointee of the
present populist administration.

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you tried
the new food drink called GRAlN.o? It is de

fee. The more Grain o you give the children
the more health you distribute through their sys.

properly prepared tastes like the choice grades of

Regulars Not Recommending


The war department authorities are dis
turbed over the unfavorahle health reports
received in the last few days from the reg
iments of regulars which took part in the
Santiago campaign, and were supposed to
be rapidly recuperating for garrison duty
in Cuba. These reports indicate that fully
so per cent of these soldiers are incapaci
tated for active duty at present, and can
hardly be utilized for several months at
least. Under these circumstances it will
be necessary to rely to a greater extent on
volunteers than has hitherto been contem-
plated. 1t appears that the regulars, who
were expected to show material improve
ment by this time, are not recovering APP
preciably in the Southern camps, and the
department may be compelled to order
them to their original stations for a time.
Rear Admiral John c. Febinger, 70, died
Sunday near Easton, Nd. He entered the
navy in 1888 from Ohio, and rose to the
rank of lieutenant in 1853 captain in 1868,
commodore in 1874, and rear admiral in
1852, being retired that year. He was
commended for his bravery and skill in
commanding one of the small wooden YES
sells which defeated the Confederate ram
Albemarle in Albemarle sound in 1864.
A despatch from Madrid says: The Span
ish government announces its intention to
maintain strong force of troops in Cuba
until the treaty of peace with the United
States is definitely signed. Immediately
after peace is signed the Cortes will be con
vened, and measures dealing with the re-
organization of all the state departments
will be submitted to Parliament.
The next expedition to the Philippines
will sail early next week 1t will include
l9l officers and j570 men, nearly all volun-
teers from the Western states.

Admiral SIMPSONS Condition Serious.

Rear Admiral SIMPSONS continued ILL
ness is cause of great anxiety to his wife,
and it is not unlikely that she will urge
him to apply for furlough and take him
North from Havana. Gems. Wade and
Butler fear Admiral Sampson cannot re-
cover unless given absolute rest from care
1t is said that the news brought to Ad-
mral Sampson in private dispatches from
Washington had caused him to worry, and
has done much to retard his recovery.
Admiral Sampson fears a plot has been
formed to make him bear a large part of
the burden of the responsibility for the suf-
fering of the soldiers at Santiago and on
their return trip to this country. Only a
few of the official dispatches have been
made public, but among these few are sew
eral from Admiral Sampson, giving him
undue prominence.
The admiral is worn in mind and body
by the terrible strain to which he has been
subjected, and he is in no condition now to
Withstand the worry caused by the present
movement against him. He exaggerates
the Importance of his enemies, and feels
that he is completely at their mercy while
here in Havana.

Crowds Anticipated sunday.

There is some talk of having the return
ing troops encamp in Garfield Park instead
of at the fair grounds. 1t would be more
remote, it is asserted, from saloons anu
other influences. And it is also suggested
that as the fair grounds will be occupied
with the fair, those who wish to see
the soldiers would be charged an adj
mission fee. The fair does not begin, how
ever, until several days later than it is sup

by that time. People from all over the

CHIEF Barrett says this month has seen
an unusually small number of fires, there
having been but twenty-eight alarms to
date. The fire business is expected to i'm.
prove next month, for September is always
q good month for blazes. This is ex-
planned by the fact that people begin to
light fires in the cool mornings, and old
fiues, which have been idle all summer, in
q great many cases have become defective,
and this is the way most fires start. 1t is
suggested that fiues be examined before
the Necessity for fires in CRATES and stoves
becomes imperative.
