INSANE INDIANS.
Civilization Spreads Another Grave
Ma1ady Among the Red Men.

1t is expected that within six months
the National Indian Insane Asylum, just
completed in Canton s. D., will be taxed
to its utmost capacity. Insanity among
the Indians is growing, most cases hav-
ing resulted from religious fanaticism.
They are naturally superstitious and hab-
itually work themselves into frenzies by
their ghost dances and other weird cere-
monies. AS these Predetermined red men
received little care or attention from their
relatives or tribesmen, Senator PettigraW
took the matter in hand and after asking
for an appropriation Of $4,000 IN lS99,
which was later increased to 100000, he
had plans drawn and Immediately COM
menced construction.
1t is peculiar but significant fact that
there was practically no insanity among
Indians until their association with the
whites. AS it is, a very large percentage
of cases are found among the half-breeds.
This is entirely consistent with the Grim
inal records, which show that the half
breeds, instead of being bettered by the
introduction of white blood, seem to rath-
er combine the iniquities of the two races.
Even the insanity cases among the full
blOOds are shown by their maladies to be
the indirect result of the supremacy of
the paleface. According to this it is a
fact that as civilization grows among the
Indians the number Of patients will in
crease.
The structure is Il handsome one, even
for the government. Pressed brick and
white stone were used exclusively and
the roofing is of slate The building is in
the form of Maltese cross, 164 feet long
and IA feet wide in the center and will
accommodate about - patients. There
are now at the national asylum in Wash
ingtOn eight or nine insane Indians, and
there is illustrated among these the diff

have been government tests that Ameri-
can manufacturers are offering No.
northern prices for wild goose macarOnl
wheat, which was formerly invariably re-
jected 1t has been the theory of the
milIers that these wheats contain gluten
in too large quantities for making good
bread 1t is also difficult to mill, be-
cause of the hard grain, and its flour has
been found gritty and too coarse to COM
pete with that of other Wheats.
Macaroni wheats differ radically from
the ordinary bread Wheats and in the
field look more like barley than wheat.
The thorough establishment of this in
dustry will do much for the semi-arid
plains A million or more of acres can
thus be given to profitable wheat rails
inc which, on account of drought, have
heretofore been entirely idle or less prof
itably employed. The farmers of the
West and Northwest are awakening to
the Importance of this industry and car
load lots of macaroni wheat are in de-
mand for seed next year. The official
tests showed a yield of One-third to one
half more per acre than ffny other wheats
grown side by side with them, and in
1900. when other wheats were almost a
complete failure in the Dakotas, the mae
aroni varieties produced a good yield of
grain of excellent quality.
The section best suited for raising
macaroni wheats, according to the gov
eminent map, begins west Of the ninety
fifth meridian and includes North and
South Dakota, Nebraska, except extreme
eastern part; eastern Colorado. western
and central Kansas, western Oklahoma,
extreme eastern New Mexico and central
and western Texas. The United States
imports over 100000 pounds of mac
aron annually, at an expense of $780,

Miss Vivian Sartoris, the beautiful
granddaughter of Gen. Grant, is said, on
high authority, to be now engaged to
Morton Nichols of New York. There is
a long story in this simple announcement.
Miss Vivian Sartoris has been engaged
before. She has even been engaged to
Morton Nichols before. Although Vivian
Sartoris has had an English father and
an English training, she has been affec-
tionately appropriated by her mothers
country, and has fallen heir to the almost
idolatrous devotion which was formerly
offered to Gen. Grants Nellie, the
Daughter of the Nation" She was en-
gagged to Mr.. Nichols, who is a member
of J. Pierpont Morgan's firm, when she
met Archibald Balfour, a fine young
Englishman. In week she had broken
her Nichols engagement and had prom
ised to become Mrs. Balfour. Last July
the wedding invitations were recalled.
Now Mr.. Nichols has been restored to
the throne in her heart.

Annapolis for the instruction of naval
cadets. In the last volume of the his
tory, bringing it up to the Spanish-A Amer
lean war, Maclay violently assailed
Schley as ''caitiff,' and a ''poltroon,"
and, in fact, was to some extent directly
responsible for the Schley controversy.
The censuring of Miles and the dis
missal of Maclay is taken, in army and
navy circles, a Washington correspon-
dent says, as signifying President Roose-
velt's determination to end the Schley
trouble right now for good and always.
This belief was strengthened by the ac-
ton of Secretary Long, who made public
his decision on the Schey court findings.
The decision upholds the majority re-
port and is against the individual report
of Admiral Dewey. In indorsing the ma
iority report Secretary Long stands by
the recommendation that there be no fur
Their action in the controversy by the
Navy Department. Hence he advised the
lawyers of Admiral Sampson that the
Sampson protest could not be consid-
cred, and sent a similar letter to Ad-
miral Schley regarding the Schley pro-
test.
The President acted in the case of
Gen. Miles on his prerogative as COM
mander-in-chief of the army, and from
this there is no appeal. The highest law
officers of the government say that Gen.
Miles has no remedy.

WILL PREVENT TYPHOID FEVER.
Prof. Novy of Ann Arbor Discovers
Wonderful Antiseptic.

Wonderful Antiseptic.
Prof. T. G. Novy of the University Of
Michigan has discovered new disinfect-
ant, which, it is asserted, will prevent all
intestinal diseases such as Asiatic chol-
era, typhoid fever and dysentery. Ben
zozone" is the name of the new anti
septic, which its discoverer and others
who have seen it tested declare will revo
lutonize the treatment of certain dis
eases.
An absolute intestinal disinfectant and
antiseptic is the way the new-found prep
aration is described, and its effects upon
five students who submitted to seven
days experimentation have been truly
wonderful. The students offered them
selves as subjects" upon whom the eX-
periments might be made. After q week
of constant analysis, during which they
had nothing to eat and only sterilized
milk to drink, the announcement is made
unofficially that success attended the
trials and a new weapon is given man to
combat diseases.
DIR. Novy's "benzozone," it is asserted,
does what the healthy system does. 1t
prevents the bodily poisons from devel-
oping disease. In time of susceptibility
to these diseases it is a substitute for
the bodily action and removes the cause
of diseases.

OPERATION ON ALGER.
Extreme Measures Taken to Relieve
the General.

An operation was performed at Detroit
upon Gen. r. A Alger, who for some
time has been suffering from gallstones.
The patient bore the ordeal well and
rallied from the shock. Fear was felt
as to the generals ability to undergo the
operation, but the malady had reached
such a stage that drastic measures were
deemed necessary. His physicians on the
day following the operation agreed that
he had an even chance to recover. The
general was on the operating table an
hour and a quarter. Six hundred news
boys contributed to the purchase of
floral tribute to be sent to him. Every
Christmas for twenty years Gen. Alger
has bought a suit of clothes for every
newsboy in Detroit.

New York, Oct. 3.--The tendency Of
business men to protect their estates
by policies of life insurance is be-
coming as general as to protect their
buildings by policies of fire insur-

OF New York and Frank II. Peavy OF

few years since in the Mu.

York, there has been no equally large
sum written on one individual. Those
remain the record figures for the
world But policies of $4,000 and

even when Sidney A. Witherbee OF
Detroit took 100000 in 3 per cent

course. II is significant that when a
