MRS. CLARK HELPS MISSION
Gives Five Dollars to Fund
for Purchase of the
Property.

Owing to the generosity of a former
Omaha woman the Omaha City Mission as
ISOLATION bids fair to raise the 81 500 neces-
sary to purchase the property that 1t now
occupies on Tenth street between Dodge and
Capitol avenue by July 1, the date Of the
expiration Of it's option. During the last
week Mrs. s. H. H.. Clark of st, Louis, who
was at one time one of the most prominent
workers in the mission. has given $500 to
the fund, which action seems to have been
an inspiration to others and the committee
is now hopeful of raising the remainder OF
the amount in time to. save the property.
During the last three months something
over 81, 900 has been raised by the Young
Peoples societies of the city. and to this
Thomas Fitzpatrick and DR.. w. o. Henry
have each added 800, while others have
made pledges to the fund,

The committee on street lighting reported
favorably on n resolution appropriating
from the general fund $500 to be used
In lighting the streets during the festiv-

cilmen present who were favorable 10 the
measure to pass 1t, II was referred back
to the committee. Hoye objected to the
resolution because, he said, the merchants
In the downtown districts who derive the
greatest benefit from the lighting should
be required TO detray at least $1,000 Of the
expense. He was in favor Of appropriating
81 800 for the purpose and no more. Trost-

In almost every neighborhood someone

DISHONEST HORSE RACES.

There is one thing about harness races
that should be changed, if possible
That is the tendency OF owners of
horses to prevent their animals from
making a record. During the past
week there have been several examples
in Topeka. Several Of the races were
really for second place, and the jockeys
were always careful that they should
not get near enough to the leading
horse to be in danger OF winning.
1t is plain why this Is done. II .
young horse which is capable of doing
a mile in BIS but which has no record
is entered in the 2:24 class it is obvious
that If he is driven as fast as he can
go he will secure q record which places
him in class somewhere near his
capabilities. naturally lessening his
chances of winning in the future. for
his record determines the class in which
he may enter. Consequently in a race
where there is not a great deal at stake
the driver must not allow his horse to
win. 1t would be bad policy to do SO,
for there is future and other races
with larger stakes. and he stands q
better chance to win in the 2:24 class
next year than he would in the z:15
class.
This makes the spectators tired. but
and SO the spectators have to grin and
bear it. 1t may be that the time will
come when horses races will be thor
oughly honest, but apparently that time
is long way in the future.

LESSONS OF THE FAIR.

The Kansas exposition is over. There
have been some few complaints from
>the usual complainers, but the people
have been well satisfied with the enter
tainment furnished by the company.
TIE fine stock exhibit and the races
were particularly pleasing The races
have not resulted in any record break
ing events but the exhibitions were sat
isfactory
The running races were better than
usual The Kansas Derby brought to-
gether a larger and better field of horses
than are usually seen on Kansas tracks.
So far as is noticeable to the people the
races were run for all the horses were
worth, but the one chance for complaint
was the poor starts given in several of
the events. Starter Hacriman seems to
be patient man. The thoroughbreds
are always a nervous lot and the jockeys
are bound to be tricky as possible.
There is excuse enough for poor starts,
perhaps, although they are displeasing
The fine stock exhibit brought to-
gether in competition some of the finest
exhibits in the country. The number Of
exhibitors in the horse department was
small but was made up by the cattle
and swine exhibits. The swine came
noticeable feature was the majority of
Duroc-Jerseys, the red hogs.
The midway is rather a new feature
for fair and for such midway it
was quite good. People expect a collec-
ton of Montebanks in such place and
they were not disappointed. The mid
way could hardly be called great sue
cess, in regards to attendance, as the
weather at night was entirely too cool
for it to prosper.
There are a few don'ts that the man.
agement of a fair should remember.
Don't forget to have the thing adver-
tised.
Don't forget that the people were told
that they would see thrilling automo-
| bile race.

MOST BE SUPPRESSED.

The recent scandal In the Bedweh
private insane asylum is one that re
quires summary action. A harmless
50 year old man was perhaps fatally
injured while in the institution. He
says he was pounded and kicked, and
the fact that his face and body are
covered with bruises and his ribs are
broken indicates that he speaks the
truth.
It does not matter much how the old
man was injured. The fact that he
was hurt while an inmate of the place is
sufficient. The arrest of an attendant
who is supposed to have inflicted the
injuries will not compensate for the
outrage. What is needed is the COM
plete suppression of the private asylums
in Kansas. They are a constant men
ace. The managers have but one
thought, and that is to make the most
money possible out of the unfortunateS
placed in their charge, and it is patent
that the patients must often suffer un-
der such an arrangement. What the
insane need. what they should have.
and what humanity demands they shall
have, is kind. constant and careful
care. The only place where the condi-
lions make this possible is in the state
institutions, and that is where they
should be kept.
1t may be that there is not enough
room in the public institutions. but ii
that is true they should be enlarged
and made large enough to accommodate
these people whose affliction at best is
pathetic. The private asylum has al
ways been a source of scandal, and it is
about time to call a halt in Kansas
If the county commissioners, who are
really responsible for the Bedwell asy
lum, will continue to countenance this
place, the state board of charities
should exercise it's authority and sup
press it at once. 1t is high time.
