ASYLUMS ARE CROWDED
state SupterintendaDt Says There Is
No Room for ClInesmith

Judge Haymaker has received a letter
from the superintendent of the state in
sane asylum at Topeka, informing him
that there is no room for any more insane
patients az present. Charles Clinesmith,
who was adjudged insane few days ago,
Will, therefore, have 10 be kept here until
the arrangements can be made for his
proper care. The letter to Judge Hayma-
ker is as follows:
Topeka, Kan, Jan. %, 1899
Dear Sir-I have received your applica-
ton for admission to one of the state in
sane asylums of Charles CIinesmfth, ad-
judged insane in the probate court of your
county. L am sorry to inform you that this
person cannot be admitted for want Of
room. Very respectfully,
az. D. MKINLEY, Superintendent"
The letter is a regular printed blank,
showing that many of them are used in
answer to applications for admission for
insane patients, a fact which certainly
proves that there is not room in the asy-
lums for the demand that is being made
upon them

MUST DIVIDE ESTATE
Richard C. Combs Died Leav-
ing Two Families.
USED TO LIVE IN THIS CITY
Heirs Have Been Fighting in
Courts Ten Years.

A decision was rendered by the Des
Moines, Iowa, supreme court few days
ago, which brings to light another story
of a former well known Wichita man
named Richard c. Combs, who died in
1889 and left two families, one in Burling
ton, Iowa, and one in this city. The Bur
lngton family was said to be the legiti-
mate one, but Combs had maintained both
for twenty-odd years and lived most Of
the time just prior to his death with the
woman known as Annie c. Brunn in this
city and elsewhere. Three children were
born, whom he recognized as his own.
Combs was a real estate plunger, his
transactions extenGicp into the states OF
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Texas and Kan
sas. He was reputed to be very wealthy
and when he died he had a policy of life
insurance for s., 900 in the Iowa Legion of
Honor and two farms near Derby, this
county, besides many other pieces Of real
estate in the states mentioned. The es-
tate was left to his wife and family living
in Burlington, Iowa, and the life insur-
ance was paid to them. A few months
after the death of Combs his Kansas wife
died and suit was begun by Attorney
Brown, who now lives in the territory, as
guardian Of the Kansas children, to re
cover from the Burlington family or the
Legion Of Honor. J. D. Casey was the at
torney for Annie c. Brunn and Adams &
Adams the attorneys for the heirs. The
suit has been a long contested one. hay
ing lasted over a period Of eleven years,
being carried from one court to another,
until most Of the property that Combs
wflled has been largely wiped out in legal
expenses and attorneys fees. The court
recently held, in a. decision handed down,
that the Burlington family must divide
with the Kansas children since their ia
Their recognized them as his children.
At the death of Annie c. Brunn. which
occurred shortly after Combs died, the
members Of the family ordered an elab-
crate funeral and the best which money
could buy, which was furnished by Dun
bar, and the bill has been in the hands of
q. local attorney for collection ever since.
awaiting the settlement OF the long
pending suit Title to several pieces Of
property has also been pending, and the
decision of the judge has settled the la
bility and legal standing of the heirs-at-
law, which has been fought out in the
courts for ever ten years.

This has been another week of anxiety
with regard to successful elimination of

of damage by hot winds, rust and blight,

general disaster yet fallen upon spring
wheat. An Aberdeen, S. D., message
says: I'VE are pretty badly hurt, % per

per cent to a total loss on the late wheat,
which is about Is per cent of the area.

IN ROBUST HEALTH.
Admiral Dewey Has No Idea of
Going to Carlsbad.


TRIEST, July 24-Admiral Dewey said
today that although he had received
many invitations from Americans So
tended going there.
Look at me-" said the admiral, DO 1
look. like a sick man? Do look as if 1
required Carlsbad treatment? 1 am
quite healthy, and although 1 will be six
ty-two next December, feel quite young
in health and spirits, and from my hui
NOR you will now see that what I tell
you is correct. I came to Triest solely
to recruit the health of my crew, they
having passed seventeen months in the
tropics without break. My reception by
the Austrian officials was most friendly
and according to the usual etiquette All
reports of the emperor declining me a re-
ception are unfounded 1 expect TO re-
main in Triest about a week longer, and
shall then proceed, probably, TO Naples
Further details and plans have not been
