PAVE THE ASYLUM ROAD.
The State Should Provide a Good
Thoroughfare to the Institution.

A movement has been started by peo-
pie living on the West Sixth street road
to have the street paved or macada-
mixed from the city limits to the asy-
lum.
George H. Whitcomb and other people
who have residences in that portion of
the city have found it exceedingly diff
cult during the muddy weather this
fall TO reach their homes The street
car line to Auburndale used to run to
the hill near the H. c. Linn home but
that was long ago abandoned and it left
the people without any means of reach
ing their homes.
It is the plan of Mr.. Whitcomb and
others who live near him to ask the
legislature to make an appropriation to
pave the road TO the asylum They
argue there should be a good road lead
ing to the state insane asylum because
il is necessary to transport inmates
back and forth and that is a serious
problem during very muddy weather.
The paving of this road with vitrifed
brick would not be expensive and there
is no other way to reach it but by al
act of the legislature.

HOBSON SAILS AWAY.
Leaves San Francisco For Ma
Mia on the Gaelic.

San Francisco, Dec. 24-Lieutenant
Richmond Pearson Hobson sailed for
the Philippines on the steamer Gaelic
He will report to Admiral Dewey on his
arrival and will undertake the work of
raising and preparing for service under
the flag of the United States, the yes
sells of Admiral MontejO. which suffered
so severely from the attack Of Admiral
Dewey's squadron.
An immense crowd gathered at the
dock to witness his departure. Hob
sons carriage had great difficulty in
getting through the throngs of people,
who simply would not let him pass in
quiet. Cheers upon cheers were given
for him and he was compelled at several
points to say a few words to the people.
Escorted by friends, Hobson finally
managed to reach the vessels side and
as he emerged from the carriage the
cheers were renewed. Cries for
speech were ignored for some time, but
they became so frequent and prolonged
that HObsOn was again compelled to
speak to the people His remarks could
hardly be heard save by a few people
who stood very close to him He told
of his sorrow at having to leave his own
country, but spoke in glowing anticIpa-
ton of the work which required his
presence in the Philippines and express
ed his gratitude to the people for the
honors showered upon him. When the
vessel got under way all the steam
whistles on the water front were given
full play and the noise was terrific. The
vessels in the harbor were decorated
for the occasion and flags dipped in
HobsOn's honor as the Gaelic passed up
the harbor TO the Golden Gate.
A public reception was held in Golden
Gate park in the morning and Lieuten-
ant HobsOn addressed the people from
the pedestal OF the Francis Scott Key
monument.
A fine band discoursed patriotic airs.
After the open air reception Lieuten-
rooms of the Young Mems Christian
Association.

Majority of the Committee

Washington. Dec. Z4.-Representative
Huh, chairman of the military commit
tee of the house, today filed with the
clerk his report on the bill for the in
crease Of the regular army. After de-
failing the amendments adopted in com
mittee. the report says:
The bill fixes no maximum strength
for the entire army. Assuming that the
government will require about 100 900
for defense of the frontier, for coast
defense and to maintain our authority
in the islands for whose good order and
government this nation is now respOn-
sible together with a reasOna bic re-
serve force, the bill provides for the
regiments Of cavalry and infantry to
provide the number required for each
arm of the service and a corps of ar
tillery for our seacoast batteries with
two regiments of artillery for field bat
teries.
The committee believe the organiza-
ton as provided for in this bill will

Wichita, Dec. 24-There can be little
doubt that the state board OF charities

that KanaveI of Harvey county win

made a long. strong pull for Gibson
Day before yesterday he arrived and
had a long conference with Governor
elect Stanley and yesterday he had an
other talk In point OF championship,
Gibson may be said to have had the
best of any of the asDirants Of the
board Of charities so far.
The talk for insurance commissioner

Into Custody.

Mrs. Belle Jewell was arrested this
afternoon on warrant charging her
with numbering her babe.
About noon the police received word
that the body Of newly born child had
been found under the doorstep OF the
mouse at 22S Quincy street. Officer Pa

Mrs Jewell and her boy about : years
A boy by the name of William Hide
brock was playing with the Yates chill
dren and while playing under the frouJ
pOrch ne discovered the body Of th-
child. He told one of the neighbors
about il before telling those in thu
house and the police were summoned
The body Of the child was lying on a
pile of leaves in pool of blood Tia
umbilical cord was tied around its neck
There was not a particle of clothing 10

Coroner Westerheld was summoned
and said he believed the child had been
killed after being born. Those in the
house disclaimed any knowledge Of IT,

there someone informed them that The
child's mother was Mrs Jewell and thar
she was in the house Sergeant Owens
and Officer Pavey commenced search
of the house while Sergeant Donovan
questioned the woman.

There is a political condition in Lyon

But that harmony will not be helped
by writing knocking letters against
Republicans and then giving them out
to the press. The Gazette was loyal to

he was the Republican candidate, but

by publishing his letter Of protest

act Mr.. Smelser has put himself where
his friends cannot help him and where
his enemies may justly claim that much
they have said about his lack of judg-
ment is justified by the facts.
Harmony is now the chief thing de-
sired by Republicans in Lyon county,
but it cannot be accomplished by nurs-
ing too long memories. There are sew
