The thing that appeals to the relatives
OF the afflicted ones Is that Mr.. Wilson
and wife see to 1t that absolute cleanli-
ness prevails. The male patients are in
charge of a male attendant, and the
women patients are under the care OF
persons of their own sex. These at
PENDANTS are always with their charges,
attending to their wants, are patient
with their idiosyncracies and soothe the
excitable and idintic. Their diet will
compare favorably with that of the av-
erage farmer, and strict attention is
paid to their actual needs. The sick are
fed those things recommended by the
attending physician and the we'll ones
are given exercise in the yard under
the care of attendants. No bull pens"
are used to herd them in, but they are
taken for walks, If their physical con-
dition permits, and consequently their
general health is better than when con-
fined at Mt. Pleasant. The inmates say
they would rather stay at the county
farm than return to the state institu-
ton and from actual observation they
appear to be more contented and are
better appearing than when they first
entered the hospital.
1t is we'll known that incurably in
sane persons require less medicine than
those whose attacks are acute and
therefore in a majority of cases, tenn
porary and with the system inaugural
ed by Mr.. Wilson, actually do require
but little medical attention. The coun-
ty physician makes one trip per week
and comes on call, there being tele-
phonic communication with the city.
The mortality is very low, there having
been but three deaths in four years out
of from thirty to thirty-four patients
Contrast this with the care received at
Mt. Pleasant and note the difference in
expense. At Mt. Pleasant they would
be we'll cared for, 1t Is true, but the
present method is very satisfactory to
the patient and bound to be from the
very nature of things. better in some
respects than could possibly be afforded
under state auspices. Not, probably
from lack of good intention, but foi
want of time to care for them as Mr.
| Wilson is doing. They are one large
family, and contentment. the medicine
they most require, shines in their faces
Gases might be cited of sullen, obdurate
men having been admitted from Mt
Pleasant, who now talk as naturally as
| people in their condition could, and also
! do odd jobs under the direction of the
attendant.
The question now generally arises
why cannot the county give the same
care it was thought they could givt
few years ago when the Mt. Pleasan
hospital was crowded? Requests were
frequently made that patients be sen
to the county farm, if their condition
would possibly permit, instead of send
ing them to the usual place. Just nov
| they are wanted back. and wanted
badly So much so that legislation vii
will be asked compelling them TO re
turn. Some interesting things may b.
made known when Judge Kline make
ais report public, but that part relat
ing to the ignorant msmanagement o
county hospitals will not apply 10 on
institution

DIR. HERRoN's RETIREMENT.
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune

For year or two past educational
circles in Iowa have been all torn up
over the mental eccentricities of DIR.
George ID. Heron, occupant of the
chair of Applied Christianity in Iowa
College. DR.. Heron is man of
marked intellectual capacity, and no
doubt a good Christian in the abstract
sense of the term; but the startling
theories he advanced would not per-

fled with any regular religious denom-
lination. The fact is, that he developed
marked socialistic tendencies, and be-
came so radical in his utterances that
the college and state authorities felt
that they could not afford to stand re-
sponsible for his opinions by retain
ing him in his professorship. AT the
June meeting of the college board there
was talk of Diminishing him. but Pres
| ident Gates guaranteed that If no ac-
ton was taken the trouble would be
settled at an early date to the salts
1 faction of every member of the board.
| President Gates evidently knew what
| he was talking about, for on Oct. 10
DR.. Herron's resignation was handed
| in, although the fact did not become
| public property until few days ago.
| DR.. Heron states in his letter of
Resignation that his resignation was
| voluntary, but those acquainted with
the facts will not doubt that considera

are sensational, and perhaps he will be
welcomed as an acceptable pulpit ora

COUNTY VS.. STATE CARE OF IN
SANE,
[Ottumwa Courier.l

Judge Kline member of the board of
control of state institutions, visited the
county farm last week presumably in
search of evidence of want OF care Of
the incurable insane confined in on,
county hospital. The antlpathy of the
board to combining that class of people
in county asylums is we'll known and
emanates from a desire on the part o..
the board to make good showing In
its report as to the cost per capita of
the insane. When the hospitals wers
full the cost per capita was lower than
at the present time, for the reason that
few required the same amount of
help as good many, and the salary
list could not be cut to a figure COR
mensurate with the number of patients.
Hence. 1t Is said, they desire a return
of the great number of incurable in
sane which have been taken from Mt.
Pleasant and Independence and are be-
ing cared for by the county authorities
at much less expense than formerly.
1t is said, upon apparently good au-
thority. that an effort will be made the
coming winter to induce the legisla-
ture to SO amend the law that insane
people must be kept in the state insti-
buttons after having been adjudged in
sane by the commission of the county
in which they reside. Action of this
kind would mean that Wapello county's
new hospital. fitted with all the appli-
ances necessary for the care of insane
people would be utterly useless and
entail the old expense Of SIP per month
per capita, which sum this county has
paid for years. The present cost pei
capita per quarteris only 1894, and the
care of the patient is better than al
Mt. Pleasant.
The residence of the steward of the
county farm liz situated between thu
hospital and the old county building
thus cutting off communication be-
tween the paupers and the insane
This fact explodes one of the ideas ad
vanced by opponents of the count,
hospital idea in so far as 1t affects thu
argument relative to the mingiing O.
the classes. The conveniences compar,

FRONT FOOT TAX SUSTAINED.
[Council Bluffs Nonpareil]
Judge Macy has handed down his de-
cision on the question of constitution
ality of the methods of assessing the
cost of street Improvements on the
basis of the front footage of property
benefited. The question was raised in
a demurrer filed in the case of Fremont
Benjamin against the city wherein the
city was sought to be enjoined from
making the owners of abutting proper
ty pay the cost of street Improvements
and to require all of the taxpayers in
the city to bear it. Judge Macy denied
the demurrer and sustained the consti-
nationality of the law. This effectually
disposes of a case that has caused some
anxiety, not only in this city but in all
Iowa towns, where a contrary decision
would have caused serious municipal
financial embarrassment. The consti-
stutiOnality of the prevailing method of
making assessments had been called
into question by opinions OF the United
States supreme court, and Benjamin
instituted his suit to recover special
taxes that has been paid and to set
aside foreclosure proceedings under
which the city had secured title to
property for non-payment of special
taxes.
