A bolt Of lightning struck the %
foot flag pole over the GAR. ball
during the stOrmWednesday night aud
tore it into thousand splinters. The
pole and braces were resting on vul-
canized rubber and the lightning did
no damage to the roof or building.
Pieces Of the flag pole were knocked q
hundred feet by the lightning. The
street in front Of the building was
this morning Uttered with pieces Of
the flag pole, The roof was covered
with pieces no larger than straws.
The storm was one Of the worst OF
the season. Hail as large as hens
eggs fell for half minute, breaking
out window lights in the south part
of town. The lightning was incessant
and people at the auditorium became
badly frightened, The rainfall meas
ured two inches and quarter.

almost to he Missouri In d. i'".
When a patient Is scot 10 an aN'''.is
he is always accompanied b. one 60:
two officers and the expaaSe to the
western counties is very heIvy. Az
other reason for the third a-liun
being wanted 10 the western part d
the state is that friends Of patients,
living several hundred miles from
either Topeka or OsawatOmie, can
not visit them as easily as they could
if the asylum were nearer. When the
question Of building a new asylum for
the state was brought up in the legis-
lature last winter, the argument used
in favor Of it was that the western
part Of the state needed an institution
of that character so that it would not
have to bring its patients so far east.
II 1t had not been for that argument
the present aSylums would have been
enlarged, and the same amount Of
room could have been secured to the
state at far less expense than can be
secured by the erection Of the new
asylum. The argument that the
western part of the state needed the
asylum in order that money might be
saved in the transportation Of insane
persons is the only thing that secured
the passage OF the bill for an addl-
tional asylum, This is the first time
a state institution has ever been
located By a junketing committee,
and it will probably never happen
again. The state has learned a les.
sou. Parsons belongs to the Missouri,
Kansas s. Texas railroad. All of the
lines of that road center there, and
there are situated the NJ, K. & 7,
shops and Offices. No other road
enters the town, except little branch
Of the Memphis which runs over from
Missouri. La Older to reach Parsons,
it is necessary to travel over the NJ,
K. & T. road. The northwestern part
Of the state can only reach it by going
into Kansas City, and then taking a
