Second District Congressman.

Iowa City, July ga number of
the leading republicans of Scott, Mus
catine, Johnson and Iowa counties, all
in the Second congressional district of
Iowa, have during the past week been
urging Professor Thomas HI. Macbride,
of the State university, to accept the
nomination for congress. The delega-
tions who have suggested the candi-
date all agree that he would make one
of the strongest candidates who could
be named by the party. Johnson coun-
ty is conceded to have the right of
naming the candidate this year and to
date Professor Macbride is the only
person thought of in this county. 1t
is generally conceded that he is a
strong man, and while he has never
taken an active part in politics, yet he
has always been a republican and has
large personal acquaintance over the
district. He has never held a political
office and is new to practical politics,
consequently he is without entangle-
ments or alliances,an if nominated
will be a strong candidate. Professor
Macbride does not seek the nominal
ton, but says that he is in the hands
of his friends and if nominated would
lmake the best fight in his power to Sc
cure the election.

IN Good CONDITION
County Hospitals for Insane Nearly
All Satisfactory.
THE INSPECTION is FINISHED
Board of Control Making Personal
inspection of Every Private and
County Asylum, Tho Not Compelled
to BY the New Law.

Des Moines, July 25.-In accordance
with the act of the last general assem-
bly,, the board of control is completing
the work of inspecting the private and
county institutions for the care Of the
insane thruout the state. The law
places all these institutions under the
control of the board, and makes. it
mandatory on this body to adopt rules
treatment of insane patients. The task
of visiting all these institutions is one
of no small magnitude. The act went
into effect April 10, and since that
time the members of the board have
given the inspection of private and
county institutions much of their time
and attention. They have visited
more than half the institutions in the
state, and expect to complete the visi-
tation in September or October. Then
general rules for the county and pri-
vate institutions will be formulated.
The board is finding that the insane
in the county and private institutions
are well cared for. There are several
exceptions to this, tho Judge Robin
son said yesterday he was surprised at
the number of superintendent who
conducted the institutions under them
well and intelligently, and took prop
er interest in the welfare of the pa
tients. In few instances the superin-
tendents are utterly untitled for their
positions. The county authorities,
Judge Robinson says are disposed to
do all possible to further the efforts of
the board of control.
The law does not require the board
to inspect these institutions personal
ly. An agent may be employed. But
e members of the board are doing
s omething more than living up to the
letter of the law, in this instance.
They have planned, in view of this
being the first inspection, to inspect
personally every private and county
hospital in the state. that they may be
informed at first hand as to the exact
conditions in all.
The new law gives the board ample
power, in case any institution fails to
comply with it's rules, to correct mis-
management by removing the insane
patients kept therein, at public ex-,
pense, to the proper state hospital. In
case of private patients, the board, on
finding it's rules disregarded, is re-
quired to give notice to the guardian
of the conditions of the hospital. The
board anticipates little trouble on this
score, and believes that when it adopts
rules and regulations for the hospitals
they will be lived up to, in most in
stances.

Two waits struck Ottumwa today.

John Gray had been in charitable

drifted into Eddyville yesterday, where
Rev. Van Wrinkle took charge of him

The home at Des Moines was commu.
nicated with and they instructed the
sheriff to send the boy to the reform
school, because he is incorrigable.
Judge Roberts took that action this
morning and Johnny went to Eldora in
charge of Turnkey Robert Anderson.
The second waif came in on a Mil
waukee freight train last evening and
was cared for over night by kind
hearted railroad man. This morning
he was taken to Sheriff Suits and
Overseer Hyatt furnished him with
transportation to West Liberty, where
he says he has folks. The boy gave
his name as Henry Martin, and said
that he resided in Boone until a few
days ago when the house in which he
was living burned down. The boy tells a
hard luck story about his mother dy-
ing two weeks ago and his father leav-
ing him destitute. He says he rode a
freight train to Cedar Rapids and
there boarded Milwaukee freight
which he supposed would land him in
Chicago about daylight this morning.
Instead he arrived in Ottumwa last ev-
ening. He says that he has relatives
in Chicago and also at West Liberty,
but the latter place being closer, he
desires to save the county all the ex-
pense he can, and will go there.

FORMER oTTuMwA PATENT.
Said to be a Very Valuable lnven
ton.

Ottumwa people remember E. R
Oliver, who was in the jewelry bust
ness in this city about twenty-five
years ago, but left here a few years
ago and went to Des Moines, where he
is engaged in similar business. Mr..
Oliver has invented and secured pat
ent on a nut lock that is most useful
continuance, and said to be valuable.
He has hired a patent attorney who
is in Washington personally supervis-
ing the work of getting the invention
thru the patent Office, and he declares
that in his twenty-five years practice
it is the most valuable patent that has
gone thru his hands. The little nut
lock is an arrangement to prevent
the loosening of bolts on railway cars
and engines, and will be of immense
value to the railway companies, be-
fore whom the patent attorney will
lay the invention for sale. He met
a number of prominent officials in Chi
cago, exhibiting his clients article,
but refused to sell there. Last night
he left for the eastern metropolis to
place the lock on the market.
