BILLS FOR DRuNkARDs.
Counties Must Settle for Their lnebri
ates


The first bills for the care of inebri.
ates under the new law have reached
the office of the state auditor They
were from Mt. Pleasant hospital and
We're against some twenty or more
counties in the state. The law pro-
vidss that the expense of commit
ment and the maintenance of inebri-
ates shall be certified and borne in the
same manner as for insane. The
charge for each inebriate in a state
hospital is therefore $12 per month.
This amount is entered up against the
county from which the patient is sent
and must be paid by that county out
of its insane fund
The law provides. as in the case of
insane persons, that the state may re-
cover from the estates of the patients.
However, it Is not to be supposed that
any great number of persons will be
able to reimburse the county and that
most OF the expense of care and treat,
ment OF inehriates will fall upon the
several counties OF Iowa
The counties are abundantly able to
bear this expense. however. Counties
are required to levy tax for care of
insane persons each year, and in most
instances the levy has been one mill on
the taxable property of the county.
This has brought in much more money
than has been needed and nearly every
! Iowa county has several thousand dol.
lars in its insane fund The Iowa code
says: Taxes thus levied cannot be
used for any other purpose" so that
the balance on hand has accumulated
from year to year AS dipsomaniacs
and inebriates are regarded the same

Ten Dollars in Money. Some Liquor and
Cigars Stolen.
tFrom Mondays Daily.i
Last night an unknown thief gained
access to the Ballingall bar room
through an old unused dumb waiter
and after helping himself to $40 in
small change from the cash register,
together with small quantity of Il
quor and cigars, made his escape by
the same way in which he entered.
Was Close Work.
The thief surely had some difficulty
in obtaining entrance as the dumb
waiter is very small and large man
could not possibly crawl through the
small shaft. The waiter has not been
used for a number of years, in fact
since there was billiard hall in the
basement when it was used to send re-
freshments from the bar to the bill
lard room below
Money Was in Small Change.
1t has been the custom to leave the
nicllels and dimes in the cash register
over night Accordingly at the close
of business last Saturday night, small
change to the amount of $40 was left
in the register. This was all taken by
the thief.
Liquor and Cigars Taken.
| 1t is impossible for the manager to
| tell just how much liquor was taken.A
bar bottle full of whisky is gone and It
is thought that more drink was appro-
priated by the intruder but just how
much is. not known. About two hand
| fuls of cigars were also taken.

Decree OF Separation on This
Showing

NEW YORK, Aug. Ia man may

So Such was the substance of re-
marks made by Judge Greenbaum in
disposing of an application made oy
Mrs. Agnes 'Neuhaus for alimony and
counsel fees pending the trial .: her
suit for separation from DR.. George E.
Neuhaus. The court directed that che
physician pay her $3.50 month ali
mony and coAnsel fees of 5000. The
main cause of the complaint OF Mrs.
NeUhaus is that her husband told her
he hated her and transferred his af-
fections to another Her husband did
not deny that such was a fact.
Judge Greenbaum said ct is true
that the law can not compel the de-
fendant to love his wife, or to abstain
from hating her. No more can the
law compel any one to be virtuous and
honest; but it may protect the wife
against brutality, as it may punish
dishonesty. In my opinion, the course
of conduct which it is here admitted
had characterized the defendants acLS
toward his wife would justify her i'll

would entitle her to a decree of separa-

His Quaint SuggsstiOn

A Frenchman, who appears to have
been of thrifty turn of mind, con-
celyed the idea in 1878 that too much
valuable time was being wasted In
cleaning sardines when preparing them
for the market He found way OF
preparing them without cleaning them,
and on this he took out letters patent.
Apparently he had some slight misgiv-
ing as to whether the public would be
perfectly suited with his invention,
and so in his claim he makes this
parenthetical entry:
Fish put up by this process may be
slightly unpleasant to the customer at
first, but he soon gets used TO it.
