itively adhered to yesterday by Jerry
Talbot of No. 1914 North Ninth street.
Today he would doubtless declare him

him in conversation. Probably the iron
which Jerry was handling suggested the
theme, but at any rate their talk ranged
into an argument as to the weights Of
various substances.
They suffered on several points, and
Jerry's friend wanted to wager that he
was correct on each of them. Jerry
would not wager, whereat the other,

Jerry replied with his assertion about
a pound being a pound under any cir

the practical demonstration. A mattress

to furnish the feathers, and a piece of

NO new ASYLUM.
Auditor Cole Says One is Not
Needed Now.
Effort to Be Made to Repeal the
Law.

A strong fight is being made on the
new insane asylum and it may be de-
feated. A bill will be introduced repeal
ing chapter 13 OF the laws of 1899 which
provides for the location and erection Of
a new insane asylum.
Parsons was chosen by the legislative
of the new asylum and the members
from that county will fight the bill and
the members from the towns which were
unsuccessful in their contest to get the
new asylum viii all be in favor of the
measure.
It is supposed that Clay Center will
lead in the fight for the bill. Judge
Lawrence of Sumner county viii intro
duce the bill Wellington was one of
the towns which wanted the asylum.
It promises to be one of the liveliest
fights during the legislature
State Auditor Cole is not in favor of
establishing the new asylum and in
discussing the matter said:
when the administration building at
the Topeka asylum is completed, there
is little doubt that all the insane people
who are entitled to admission to the
asylum cam be accommodated. This
new building at the Topeka asylum will
provide acconmodat tons for the officers
and living quarters for the officers va
The additional room thus furnished,with
the new hospital accommodations at the
OsaWatOnie asylum, now in course of
construction, and which will be occupied
by the sick patients, viii furnish much
additional room. 1t is believed that all
ties can then be accommodated at the
aSyIunS.'

Orders of Board of Health May
BE Obeyed After All.

The problem of determining the vac
cination of school children in this city
goes beyond the measures that have
been already taken by the school and
health authorities; 2,543 scholars have
not filed certificates Of vaccination,
such as were furnished in the different
schools to be filled out at the beginning
Of the school year. Several hundred Of
this number have been duly vaccinated
without doubt, but have neglected to or
are unable to fill the certificates de-
manded. In the lower grades, among
the younger scholars, this method has
been fully satisfactory in its workings
Among the older scholars sometimes the
physician is not available, due 10 migra-
lions on the part OF the family, or the
like, some OF the physicians have gone
away, and different complications arise
Early in the year the health board
was for insisting on revaccinations, but
later it was determined that a good scar
would be accepted as evidence of vacc1-
nation. The board has been consider
ing the advisability of having the city
physician visit school rooms and pass
pupils who can show the requisite good
scar.
BY this method the list of non-vacci-
mates as now compiled Will be material

DR.. swan, secretary of the state board
of health, also a member of the city
board, in support of the boards attitude
in regard to compulsory vaccination,

stand.
