CARRIE NATION CRAZY.

Wichita, Kansas, April 3o.-Mrs.
Carrie Nation, the noted saloon
wrecker, is insane. Her sudden
fit of insanity was caused by soil
tary confinement and the news of
the death of her brother.
1t is thought by physicians who
have made an examination of her
condition that she will soon recover
while others seem equally certain
she is hopelessly crazy.
Her condition today and yester-
day has certainly been such as to
cause the belief by many that her
reason is forever lost.
Mrs. Nation Thursday had a
fight with her friend, Mrs. Without,
who was confined in the same cell.
She accused Mrs. Without of being
two-faced, and said she was q spy
of the saloon men to get evidence
against her, and that she cast evil
spells upon the cause.
Mrs. Nation slapped Mrs. Will
holt and pulled her nose. Sheriff
Simmons was forced to place Mrs.
Nation in solitary confinement.
She was also gwen the bread and
water diet.
Saturday morning news came
that Mrs. Nations brother was
dying at Lewisburg, and that she
should accept bond at once and 90
to him.
James Ray, her attorney, and
Wilbur Jones, her former hondsman
and best friend, visited the jail and
asked to see her. They explained
the reason she should accept bond.
Mrs. Nation stared at them, then
burst forth into a hysterical TRADE
against them and said If she wanted
TO get out she could hy.
This alarmed her friends, who
caused a physician to call at once.
He stated that Mrs. Nation was
insane.
David Nation, her husband, has
been notified.
Mrs Nation will be tried at once
for insanity, iti said, unless she
improves.
Il is thought by her physicians
that with quiet she viii recover.
She will not see anyone, but spends
her time talking with herself about
how She is running the world from
her place in jail

TO MOTHER.

Now that ! am gone, dear mother,
Do you miss my greeting of JOY
Parting from no other
For either girl or boy
Causes so much of sorrow
As leaving you, dear mother,
But in the sweet tomorrow
We will meet and greet each other.
The snow is falling fast
On this dark spring day.
There is no warm suns blast
To drive the clouds away.
Life is full of dreary sights
As it rapidly glides away.
1t is as one dark night
Before the break of day.
My thoughts go back to childhood,
When l played around your knee.
My heart was light as the sun was
bright,
Joyful, happy and free.
Better days will come, mother,
When this life is DER,
And we shall know each other
On that far-oif shore
/ hope we will meet in Heaven
In that happy Celestial Dome,
Just as the children used to meet
Within the walls of home.
There we shall rejoice forever
In bright Celestial day,
And God the Holy Father
Will drive the clouds away.

WOMEN AND FINANCES.

WOMEN AND FINANCES.
Nature made woman eligible to
any position, occupation or office
equal with man that she is capable
of filling, and her capability lies in
her willingness to qualify to that
point. Nature granted to
woman all of the privileges, powers
and prerogatives that she conceded
to man. The story of creation
gives no intimation of any differ
ences between the rights of man
and of woman, hence we are bound
to admit they are equal.
1t is to the honor of woman to be
self-supporting, and it is not to the
dishonor of man to permit it. A
woman is semi-slave, to say the
least, just so long as she is utterly
dependent upon her husbands
pocket book, and there is no reason
why the man should exclusively
and arbitrarily control the financial
side of the partnership existing be-
tween himself and companion. If
there is anything on earth that most
women detest it is going to their
husbands for money.

and the poor are getting poorer, SO

beeh SO barshly criticized, both In

try, to the extent OF officially
announcing that he was not recalled

When it comes To so working out

the average Republican politician
can easily beat the world. An
example has just been made public.
1t is officially announced that Mr..
Mckinley and Secretary Root have
decided that the number OF enlisted
men in the regular army shall be
limited to 10, 900, unless there is a
fresh outbreak in the Philippines.
That was to bamboozle the public.
and will make small difference for
a long time as the slowness in re-
cruiting made it certain that it
would take many months to enlist
all the men authorized BY the new
army law. Accompanying the an
nouncement was the statement that
all the officers provided for by law
would be appointed That was to
save the patronage over which there
has been so much scrambling. II
there are more officers that there is

EXCESSIVE STUDY DY CHILDREN.

In many an suburban street and ave.
nue. boys and girls going home from
school in these spring afternoons are
seen to be carrying thick and weighty
bundles ofbooks. Is it not possible
that they are expected to study to
excess outside of school hours ? Is
there not now and then a tendency
to do too much stultiag in too short
time in our methods of education7
New York Tribune.
The matter to which the New York
Tribune refers is not by any means
confined to the schools of New York
city. The same state of affairs NAV
be observed any day in the case of
students going home from our own
schools.
When the public school system was
devised it was decided, and wisely
decided, that five hours day of men

be properly demanded of growing

mands an equalization of mental and
physical exercise, with the prepond-

per day to solid and unrelieved men

ton, home study in hours that
should properly be devoted to phys.
ical exercise and recreation is an
injustice to the pupils and decided
detriment to their physical welfare.
Some day in the future more rati-
onal view of the needs and require
ments of the pupils will induce
modification of the rigorous system
now in vogue.
1t IS well known that many chill
dren's minds have been wrecked by
excessive study, induced by fond
but unwise parents and exactlng
teachers. But, while we advocate
moderation in studies we must not
be too lenient with those who shrink
their studies. Let common sense

Evident That the Jury Are Ready to
Notc HIS Acauittnl.

Sioux City, May 1.-THE trial of Rev
G. NJ. Wickham is gradually approach
ing the end. Il is possible that it may
be finished tonight. but that depends
upon the amount of the testimony which
the prosecution has to introduce IN re-
bu,tal When the testimony is all in,
the final arguments viii be made, and
the jury will make its decision.
There is little and, in fact, PRACTICAL,
no doubt as TO the result of the volt
which will be taken. 1t has been evil
dent from the demonstrations made b,
members of the Jury for some nights
past that the majority is anxious for the
questioning and debating to come to an
end 80 that they can cast their votes,
and that they have already decided the
matter in their own minds in favor of
the accused minister They believe the
whole thing Is cooked up consplracy
against the pastor and that none of the
charges which have been made has any
foundation in fact. There is little ques-
tion that the verdict of the jury will be
complete vindication of Mr.. Wickham
just aa he predicted it would be.
The decision of this matter rests in the
hands of about iifty-six members of the
church, thirty-tive of whom are women
and twenty-one men. These do not by
any means comprise the total membSr-
ship of the church, which is stated to be
in the neighborhood of $50.
The prosecution last night made little
headway in repairing the breaches
which We're made in their case the pre-
iceding night. The defense on the other
hand produced additional testimony to
show that Mr.. Wickham was not in the
city on Sejt. IA. the date when Miss Bat
man said he attempted rehabilitation
with her. The defense also attacked the
Gate of Feb. 5, which had been substi-
tuted by the prosecution in one of Miss
Batman's stories. and had Mrs Wick
ham swear that she was with Mr. Wick
ham at the time when Miss Batman all
legged he was pulling her into his lap and
anl kissing her. The prosecution wound
up by producing official correspondence
between the president of the district
board and the secretary of the state
board of the church to prove that Mr..
Wickham was in bar odor with the dis
trict board at the time he came to Sioux
City.
