Prison All in One Day.

From freedom to a prison cell, to
an insane asylum and then to freedom

months has been the unusual expert

on developed in him strong symptoms
of insanity and he was removed to the
Hillside Home. Recently he gave evi-
dence of return of reason, and yester.
day the authorities at the asylum re-
ported that they were ready to dis
charge him as being entirely cured.
His friends, upon learning of this,

What He Has to Say About Sun
davis CaVe-in.

THAT cave in front of my property
on North Main avenue Sunday
strengthens what I have heretofore
said about the necessity of securing
the mine workings under the street be-
fore a pave is laid" said c. S Lowry
yesterday. Mr.. Lowry is one of the
most active in fighting the proposed
pave until such time as sewers are
laid and the mine workings secured.
II want a pave on North Main ave-
nue. and Providence road because l
believe it would be a good thing, but 1
don't want 1t until the preliminary inn
provements leading up to it have been
completed. We need a sewer even
worse than we do a pave and the board
of health ought to compel it's construc-
ton. It can do so If it only takes the
proper steps. Then the mine workings
which are close to the surface ought
to be secured or both sewer and pave
will be irreparably damaged by some
similar cave to that which occurred
Sunday.

the pave over the cave to the extent
of allowing a horse and wagon or a

Topeka Letter.

The state republican league is dead.
Its meeting at Topeka last week was
attended by not more than fifty del
egates, compared with over 1000 in
1895. The new president said in his
speech that II don't thank you for the
place. You ought to thank me for
taking it." Financially the institu-
ton is bankrupt, the officers being
unable to skirmish around and rustic
money enough to reimburse them for
money paid out for expenses during
their terms of Office, The third dis
trict did not send any delegates at all.
Probably half of the delegates we're
from Topeka. The meeting was a
flat failure and the organization Is
practically dead.
In Kansas the milltiamen complain
because they not were accepted as Or
ganized. In Pennsylvania they we're
accepted as organized by regiments
but were not taken as a brigade and
the men there are kicking there as
hard as in Kansas. After a while
they will learn that they must obey
orders and that those in charge of
military affairs know more about when
and where they may be Of value than
they do.
I'd Hoch says that two boys from
his town wanted to have something to
say about the officers of their COM
pany and that the state administration
punished them by securing their re-
lection by the government mastering

surprised to learn that an unmention.
