discretion more far-reaching than those
of any other state office. i tender you
the place, not thru the importantly
of your friends, tho many have vol
,unteered kind words for you, but be-
cause recognize your capacity and
fitness for the place, and that you meet
the conditions which l have indicated
above. There is one unpleasant fea-
ture connected with it. The statute
contemplates that the incumbent shall
have no other business. This, OF course,
must have liberal Interpretation.
do not suppose it is contemplated that
a man shall administer his own estate
before he accepts the position, but his
acceptance would doubtless preclude
personal attention to private enter
prises. He should be permitted to con-
serve his estate in any way that is con
sistent with giving his entire time and
attention to the duties of the board.
1t also virtually takes him out OF
politics, for it precludes his being a
candidate for any Office for period of
one year after his term shall have eN-
pred. Thus, i think, it is in contem-
plation of statute, that it shall be in
no sense a stepping stone, but rather
the elimination of business career.
j shall be glad to hear from you by
Wire, or arrange an interview at your
convenience.
With kind personal regards, and in
the hope that you will see your way
clear to accept, / am. yours sincerely,
Leslie AZ. Shaw.

that pierced him like a gun, and also
told them. it is said, that if anything
ever happened to him they would
know that it was that light. He then
returned to his room and the next
morning paid Mrs. Redding for the
two nights he occupied the room and
left. Apparently in his right mind at
that time. He also told Mrs. Redding
that he had been troubled with the
same light at his former roomlng place

that he took dinner that day at the

RELEASE OFF INSANE.
A New Plan Proposed by which An
other State Board liz Created.

Legislators at Des Moines are dis
cussing a new plan for the control of
the Wapello county insane hospital, in
common with thai of other counties,
so far as the release of patients is
concerned. Just what need there is
for board for this purpose does not
appear, as it is certain that the medi-
cal practitioner on the Wapello coun.
ty board is competent to judge wheth-
er or not patient is well enough to
be released without the Intervention
of so-called insanity specialists. The
new plan is to- have a state board OF
expert physicians and insanity spe-
cialists who shall have control of all
the insane hospitals in the state, so far
as releasing patients is concerned, As
it is now the commissioners of insanity
in eachicounty and the superintendent
and medical attendants in the state
hospitals decide when they think pa.
tents have improved so as to warrant
their release. The new plan is to have
q board Of experts which shall make
stated and periodical visits to the vari.
Gus asylums in the state, examine the
inmates and decide who are sane
enough to be released, who can be re
turned to the world in justice to them.

the late case of smallpox was taken
care of. Other matters of minor i'm
portance We're attended to.
The council convened as board of

OF sickness prevailing.
Alderman Keefe offered motion to
the effect that a vote of thanks be ex-
tended to the city physician and the
members of the board of health for
the manner in which the late case OF
smallpox was taken care of, which
was carried by unanimous vote.
Alderman Hyatt called the attention
of the board to the dangerous condition
of the walls of a certain building in
the West End of the city, owned by
the Ottumwa Savings bank. Alder.
man Ksefe said that the building re.
ferred to had been sold and that j,
| would be rebuilt.
Alderman Mather called The atten

grocery store, where stagnant water is
allowed to stand.
After Alderman Hyatt spoke of the
fact that complaints had been made ir
regard to- dumping filth along the
river bank ms South Ottumwa, there
being no further business to come be
fore the board motion prevailed te
adjourn.
