 dals Have Been Surpassed.

dalS Have Been surpassed.
 Boston, Feb 22.-Revelations of the most astonishing character concerning the management of the Lowell poor farm have shocked the people of that city. A committee of the city council has shown a state of affairs worse even than that of the state almshouse in Tewksbury during Governor B. F. Buffers administration.
 Children and even babies have been herded indiscriminately with adult in sane inmates and confined in one room from November to March. and insane women have been allowed free access to weapons, at least one murder being the result. Some of the male attend ants are charged with being the par ents of children of insane women pa tients. More and worse charges are to come. it is said.
 Whiskey purchased at s gallon was itemized as "microbe destroyer on printed report. Wines were listed as "coffee" and cigars as "fnel."

Searching For His Aunt Who Agreed
 to Meet Him at Certain Time.
 New Britain. Feb 22.-Axel Nelson respectable looking Swedish gentle man, has asked the assistance of the local police in finding his aunt. Nell son relates an interesting story. Last week, he and his aunt, who is a wo man 61 years of age, left Council Bluffs, Ia, for New Britain, where they have relatives.
 Nelson said that his aunt is a tri fie unsound mentally, and he kept q careful supervision over her until they reached Chicago. Here they changed trains, and the aunt was left alone il the depot for few minutes while he made arrangements about the tickets
 The aunt purchased q ticket during his absence and insisted upon using it. A few minutes before the train left it was found that the aunt's tick ct was on the Grand Trunk line and the nepheW'S was on the Wabash line Nelson said there was no time to change, and the friends who had come to the station persuaded the ne phew to let the aunt go over the sep arate line, agreeing to meet in New York.
 When the Grand Trunk train ar rived in New York. Nelson was un- able to find his aunt She was not on the train and all inquiry concern ing her was fruitless No one on the train had any Knowledge of the wo- man
 The nephew believes that she left the train at some point. and that the task of finding her may be attended with great difficulty is apparent.
 Through the inStrumentality of Off, cer Hellberg. Axel Nelson found his lost aunt. While he was endeavoring to trace her between here and Chica- go she was in q room at the Hotel Beloin. When Nelson called at the DO lice station yesterday he was taken by the officer to the hotel and there he found his missing relative. She ar- rived here late Tuesday night and as she acted strangely at the station the conductor had Baggagemaster Murphy look out for her. He and Officer He'll berg sent her to the hotel Her name was Miss Annie Nelson and she told the officer that her home was in Oma- ha and that she was going back to Chicago at once. She was well sup- piled with money.
