The Insane ASYLUM,

Governor-elect W. E. Stanley will
recommend the building of new in
sane asylum in his forthcoming mes
sage TO the legislature. He so in.
formed Hon. Ed T. Hackney Tues
day. Mr.. Hackney is a member of the
committee appointed by the Yelling
ton Commercial club to work for the
location of an insane asylum at
Wellington. He was in Wichita
Tuesday in the interest of the pro-
ject, and reports the prospects to be
most gratifying.
Que of the first duties that con.
fronted the committee in the work Of
securing the location Of an asylum at
Wellington, was to determine the
probability of whether a new state
asylum would be built the coming
year. Governor-elect Stanley was in
terviewed on the question Tuesday,
and he did not hesitate in saying that
he favored new asylum, such as is
necessary to take care of the states
uDfortuDates, and stated that he
would recommend new asylum in
his message to the legislature when 1t
convenes in January.
At present there are two insane
asylums in Kansas. one. at Osawat-
omie and the other at Topeka. They
are inadequate TO accommodate the
states insane, and more facilities
must be provided by the next legisla.
ture. This will probably be done by
erecting new asylum at some point
yet to be determined upon. Yelling

about l25 persons, and was a most
delightful affair.
A program of exceptional merit was
rendered. 1t consisted OF recitations,

tation entitled "Mr. Coddle Becomes
q Mason" Misses Bessie Bookwalter
and Bessie Walter also gave recita-
tions, which were greatly appreciated.
Prof. j. D. Rakestraw rendered a
vocal solo of surprising merit. The
anniversary poem by Mrs. M. E. Mad
dy, was one of the best features Of the
program, and was especially appro-
pirate to the occasion. The High
school quartette rendered a choice Sc
lection, which was very good. A vocal
solo by Miss Nellie Ratliffe was de.
lightfully rendered and we'll received.
Mrs, G. E. DOwis' recitation deserves
special mention. Her delivery is
charming, and her number was
greatly appreciated. Mrs. John R,
Spar and Misses Nellie and Edith
Ratliffe gave a fine selection with
mandolin and guitar. Mrs. J. P

To Abandon the c. K. & w.

On top of the failure Of the Santa
Fe at the annual meeting Of its direc-
tors in Topeka last week, to make any
arrangements for the purchase Of the
branch lines known as the G. K.
& w., now operated by the Santa Fe,
comes the information from an au-
thentiC source that the shutting cut
of the 9. X. & W, properties is but
preliminary to the abandonment Of
the majority of them. From the
standpoint Of economy, it is said,
President Ripley has decided to aban-
don every mile of Improbable track.
Some of the OK, &W. branch lines will
be abandoned altogether and the mile
age of others will be curtailed.
The lines composing the Chicago,
Kansas & Western railroad were built
during the years William B. Strong
was president of the Santa Fe. That
was at the time of the Kansas
"bOOm," and in the construction of
the branch lines President Strong
thought he saw the opportunity Of
supplying the main line Of the Santa
Fe with number Of profitable feed
ers, among them the Englewood
branch from Mulvane west through
this county. The branches were &C
cordingly built, and at first they bore
out Mr.. StrOng's expectations, but it
was not long until the Santa Fe man
agement found that as a result of the
enterprising presidents venture it
had on its hands several hugdred
miles Of Improbable road. Year by
year the various branch lines have
grown more Improbable, and the
majority no longer pay operating ex-
penses. The EnglewOod branch,
among the many other branches, will
be abandoned, it is thought, very
soon.

A BOON TO NlMR0DS.
Wichita Furrier Offers Five Cents Apiece
for Jack Rabbit Skins.

A Wichita fGrrier HGmed Payne has
written TO the county commissioners
asking them to defray the expenses
Of sending a circular letter to every
taxpaying farmer in the county, it,
which the fuIrer offers 3 cents each
for jack rabbit skins properly dried
and shipped. The circular gives in
structions for SHINING and preparing
tie hides. The idea is for the com.
misSiOners to furnish the money for
sending out the circulars for the gOO0
it will do the county. The furrier
promises to pay 5 cents apiece for
1000, 900 skins in good condition. HIS
offer, if genuine, beats the three-c cent
bounty offer all to pieces, and should
result in wholesale slaughter Of the
peStiferOus animals.
The furrier neglectS to state what
he wants with the skins. In COwley
county he offers only cents apiece
for them, probably recognizing the
fact that the Sumner county product
is superior 10 every way and will read
lily command a higher price in the
fur markets of the world.
But inasmuch as the Wichita fur
dealers letter is virtually a request
for a cash donation, and in view of
the fact that he is apparently offering
different prices in different counties
for scalps, it would be well for the
commissioners 10 satisfy themselves
Of the responsibility of the prospect.

when II VIII He Published.

General Fitzhugh Lee expects to leave
for Tampa to-day or tomorrow. To a
Dispatch reporter last night he said that
he had received no recent communication
from Washington, but he rather expected
TO leave to-day at noon, and looks for
orders to/this effect In his morning mail
General Lee will go in the full dignity
of his major-general's uniform. Some lit
tie doubt existed in his mind as to
whether the tailor would be able to exc
cute the rather elaborate regimentals OF
his high dignity, but all his anxiety on
this score was dissipated yesterday by
the arrival Of the various garments.
MR.. BRANDER ON HIS STAFF.
General Lee appointed Sergeant Lewis
W. Brander. of the Richmond Light In
fantry Blues, to be division color-ser-
geant upon HIS staff yesterday. and he
will leave for Tampa at noon to-day.
General Lee said last night that all the
Virginia regiments which have been, or
will be, ordered TO Cuba, will be attached
to his corps, an arrangement for which
he worked very hard, and at which he
is greatly gratified.
WRITING a BOOK ON CUBA.
II Is not generally known that for some
time past General Lee has been engaged
writing about Cuba, as he saw IL. His
experiences and observations will shortly
appear in book form from the presses OF
New York publishing house. The work
is not yet completed. and General Lees
timo has been so much occupied OF late
with his official duties that he scarcely
hopes to finish 1t until he returns from
Cuba again. This depends. however, on
the length OF time that elapses before he
receives orders TO leave for Tampa.
An agent of the publishers was in the
city few days ago, and said that the
prospects for the success of the book are
better than for any book they have ever
published. One house alone has sent In
an order for 5000 copies, and accompa-
MED the order with check. The same
concern published William Jennings
Bryan's book. and IT is well known that
he received over $4,000 royalty within a
few months after its appearance on the
news stands.
