NO new ASYLUM
For the Insane Likely to Be
Established
By the Legislature at This
Session.
ONE NEW BUILDING
Capable of Accommodating Sew
eral Hundred Patients
Is Just Being Finished at To-
peka,
And Other Improvements at
OsaWatOmie and Topeka
Needed.

It is probable that the present legis-
1ature will establish no new insane
asylums in Kansas. The first intima-
ton with reference to this matter came
from Senator Jumper this morning. The
senate was discussing the following
concurrent resolution by Senator Camp
bell:
Whereas, Our insane asylums are in
a crowded condition, and many patients
are now being cared for in private in
situations at great cost to the state;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the senate, the house
concurring therein, that it is the sense
of the legislature that provision be
made for the building of an asylum at
some point within the state of Kansas,
during the year 1899.
This was presented to determine the
sentiment of the legislature upon this
question.
Senator Jumper opposed the resolu-
ton. He said:
Il will present facts to this body
which Will, believe, demonstrate that
another asylum is not needed, and no
action need be taken in this direction
for two years.
I'VE are just completing a new build
ing at the Topeka asylum, and we will
need an administration building there
before anything else is done. This
resolution commits the senate to the
that is an unwise policy. We should
complete the buildings we have in pro-
gress, and complete the facilities there
necessary"
Senator Coleman offered an amend
ment, covering the latter proposition,
but Senator Householder objected, say
ing that the present buildings should be
enlarged, but declared that a new
asylum is necessary. He didn't say so
in this speech, but he believes the new
asylum should be built because his
town, Columbus, wants it..
Senator Crossan suggested that the
present buildings should be completed,
before any further speculation should
be INDUCED in. Mr.. CroSSan moved that
the resolution be referred to the COM
holder, chairman.
Senator Matthews (Rep.) said the
senate should defer action until the re-
port of the state board of charities is
received. He supported Crossan's reso-
luton.
Senator Farrelly, who wants an
asylum at Chanute, objected to the
Crossan motion. He said jocularly:
This is put up job between the two
senators If this resolution goes to the
committee am sure Householder would
recommend that the new asylum be
built and located in his town, Column
bus. However, this institution, as orig
inally introduced, should prevail and
determine the attitude of this body
upon this proposition. If we do not
want to build an asylum let us say so
and put an end to the work now going
on in various parts of the state to se-
cure such an institution
The motion to refer was lost; then the
amendment offered by Mr.. Coleman was
lost by vote of IA to IA.
On roll call the resolution was killed
by a vote of Is to It,
The senate then adjourned

LIQUOR SELLERS FINED.
They Pay 800 a Piece, and No
Further Case Made Against
Them.

Warrants were sworn out yesterday
for T. Simmons, Ed. Moeser w. S.
O'Brien and Frank Raynor for selling
Intoxicating liquors and they were all
notified to appear at the police station.
O'Brien is the Topeka agent of the
FeFd- Helm Brewing company, Moeser
is agent for the Anheuser-Busch Brew
ing association, Simmons has a place in
the basement of the Metropolitan build
ing and Raynor keeps a drinking resort
on West Curtis street, North Topeka.
The four men appeared without hav-
ing the papers served and paid 800
apiece for their appearance a t court this
morning. None appeared and the bonds
were forfeited.
This is the usual monthly method of
going through the form of arrests and
the men will probably not be visited
again until next month or perhaps two
months later The changing of the
charges from maintaining a nuisance
to selling Intoxicating liquors. does
away with the Imprisonment that accom-
panies the 500 fine in the first charge
and leaves the penalty only a fine of
800 or more. Those arrested do not
fight the case when the liquor selling
charge is preferred, without the i'm
prisonment, and pay their fines with
little or no objection.
The system brings in a large and
growing revenue to the city.

husband cry out, and, fastening back
found him struggling to tear down the
bed hangings that were all ablaze.
Like a coura geous wife, she turned in
to help and they fought the fire together
valiant1y but unsuccessfully. Beaten,
she with her arm, he with his foot
