of control will begin work Immediately
upon the formulation Of rules and regu-
Ilations governing county institutions in
which insane persons are maintained
The last legislature passed a measure
giving the board the power to make
rules and regu lations. and to- enforce
them, their violation being sufficient to
give the board powersto remove the pa
ltients in the county institutions to the
Estate hospitals; provided, however that
the ma tier could be taken to the courts
by interested persons and there adjudi-
Gated.
A Systematic examination Of the
county asylums has been made by the
Imembersso OF the board. This work has
ltust been completed. The information
obtained will be classified andS the work
of making the rules undertaken this
week. The work may consume consider
able time. The board anticipates no par
ticuiar difficulty in inducing the county
snanagementa to conform to their rec
concentrations. 1t IL learned, inciden-
tally, that the principal complaint
against the county institutions as they
are managed now liz the paucity OF at

more in salaries. "A move In this direc-

largely took patients from the state
hospitals to save money: the hiring OF
new attendants will increase the expen-
dilute on account Of the county insane;
but 1t will afford more salaried places.

Mr.. KassOn made an address at the

which the audience suffered because
there was no heating apparatus at

drove many hundreds away from the

He said that AIr. Bryan had never yet

that Mckinley has been tried AND

Just at this instant u string of passen-

THE MODERN TREATMENT.
wouite number Of years ago, when I
was girl at home, my father was pros
trated upon a bed of sickness, 2 writes
Mrs. P. NJ. Wheeler, of No. 2 Ann Place,
Pradford. Peuua. . He had rheumatism
and complication of troubles which
bafled the skill Of three Of our best
physicians. All through the winter
months he lay upon his bed, suffering
severely at times with rheumatism IN his
limbs. While in this condition a pam
phlet containing description OF Dr.:
Pierce's remedies fell into his hands. I
remember Of his sitting up in bed and
reading it through and then exclaimingg
That medicine is just what need =
lust then a neighbor came along who
was going to town and we sent for
bottle Of Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. We laid aside the doctor s
medicines and commenced giving my
father the Golden Medical Discovery,
according to directions. The first three
days he felt worse, as is often the case.
After that he commenced to gain. His
physician was surprised at the change in
his condition and candidly admitted that
the Golden Medical Discovery was
doing more for him than he had been
| able TO do. In less than two weeks my

young woman who wae known by her
intimates az Tab, and who had for-

preceding the package was signed by
this young woman's nickname led Gus

Investigation she was thoroughly
cleared of all knowledge of the crime.

made for the county attorney an exact

nal machine was placed. The man was
then traced to Des Moines. and there the

days before the machine had left Chi.

weighing half pound each.
With this evidence the officers be-
lieved they had a chain which would
completely enmesh Hoot, and then they
turned more serious attention to his
capture. But he had completely disap-
peared and tho many clues were fol-
lowed, no trace of him could be OBJ
tanned.
Thus matters ran along until early
In February, 1900. Hoot had been
keeping up payments on some building
and loan stock in an association locat-
/ ed at Marshalltown, but about the time
the crime was attempted here he wrote
to the secretary of the company to
cancel his stock and to forward what
was due him on the same to the First
National Bank at Dubuque, payable to
his order. The money was sent to the
bank at Dubuque and detectives were
set to watch that institution. with the
\ suspicion that sooner or later Hoot
would run short of funds and would
attempt to draw his balance there. The
suspicious We're we'll founded, for one
day a letter came to the bank, written
4 at Algiers, La. and signed by Hoot
4 asking what his balance al the institu-
ton was. The bank officials turned the
