TO BORROW $50 600.
State Board of Charities Will
Rush Parsons Asylum.

Because of the rapid increase in the
applications for admission to the insane
asylums in Kansas it is imperative that
tne new asylum at Parsons should be
completed as soon as possible. In or
der to do this the members of the state
board OF charities have determined to
personally borrow $4,000, at the rate
or $4,000 month. from now till the
nrst Of July. with which the capacity OF
the Parsons asylum can be increased
from 200 to 400 patients
In order to do this the members OF
the board will have to become person.
ally RESPONSIBLE for what they borrow
and for the interest, but it is stated
that it will save the state several thou
sand dollars which would otherwise
have to be paid out for keeping insane
patients in private hospitals. They have
the approval of Governor Bailey, At
torney General Coleman and State
Auditor Wells in their proposal.
The appropriations for the current
year for the new Parsons asylum were
intended to make room for 200 pa
t1erts. and 100000 more was appropria-
ted for the next fiscal year, which
would increase the capacity another
200 The hospital at present would ac-
commodate all the states insane who
nave been in private asylums for a
number of years, but it was not ex-
pected that there would be such an in
crease as there has been recently. In
the last two months there have been
applications to admit $50 insane into
the state asylums. or more than so per
cent more than the average number.
superintendent Biddle, of the Topeka
hospital, says he knows of no reason
why there should be an increase, but
the number frequently fluctuates from
month to month.
The asylums are already overcrowded
and at the Topeka hospital some of the
patients sleep on cots in the halls,
awaiting the completion of more room
New ones will have to be refused ad-
mission until there is more room made
at Parsons, and in the meantime the
state will have to reimburse the coun-
ties for keeping these patients at pri-
vate aSylumS.
1t is on this account that the board of
charities proposes to rush the work at
Parsons ahead of the time counted upon
when the appropriations were made. 1t
will require about $4,000 a month to
keep the work going, and that is the
amount the board will borrow each
month until July 1, when the new APP
preparation will be available.

1T WAS A FIzzLE.
Republicans Didn't Bite on
kelly's Bait In Miami.

Paola, Kas.. Feb. S.-The attempt of
in Miami county Saturday ahead of the
regular primaries called by the Repub-
lican county central committee was a
great fizzle. Very few Republicans
turned out to them. The sentiment
among the Republicans of Miami coun-
ty is very strong against Kelly, and his
attempt to organize new county COM
mittee and run "rump' primaries has
not helped him any.
In one precinct, East Valley, not a
vote was polled at the Kelly primary,
and in West Valley there was only one.
In East Valley there are 40 Republican
voters, and in West Valley there are
about 80 Republicans.
In several precincts there were not
enough Kelly voters to fill up the dele
cations to kelly's 'rump'' county con-
vention. In not one of the four wards
in Paola were there over 20 votes cast,
and in most there were less.
Several thousand letters were sent
into the county last week by Kelly and
from the Hoch headquarters in Topeka,
urging the Republicans to turn out at
the Kelly primaries Saturday and vote,
but few of them did so.
Kelly's boiling convention is called
for next Thursday, and Mr.. Hoch is
scheduled to speak. On Friday the
regular primaries will be held and on
Saturday the regular convention, which
will elect delegations to state, con-
greSSiOnal and senatorial conventions.

ANTHONY MAKES POINT.
State Law Which Provides How
Soldiers Home Shall Vote.

D. r. Anthony, jr., came over from
Leavenworth today to attend the meet
ing of the state election board this
afternoon at which his contest over
the First district Republican congress
slonal nomination will come up. Mr.
Anthony is accompanied by his attor-
neys, A. E. Crane and DeVere Rafter
of Holton. Attorney General Coleman
IS also here today, taking a day off
from the Dewey trial at Norton.
Mr. Anthony's attorneys believe that
the state law itself positively settles the
question of the segregation of the Sol
diers' home from Leavenworth county.

statutes. The following provision is in
the state law:

branch of the National Military home

home for six months next preceding
any election, and who are qualified as

where said home is located at all cleo
tlons and primaries (other than town

1t is customary for the opening month
Of a year, says r. C. Dun & Co., to
bring heavy insolvencies, for the in
ability to meet annual payments forces
many concerns to the wall, and it is well
known that weak spots are disclosed by
inventories and stock taking and over
hauling Of plants at the turn of the
year This would explain the fact that
liabilities in January were larger than
in any month of those Immediately pre-
cediDg, with the exception of a slight
excess in December. But a careful
comparison discloses the fact that losses
in January were heavier than in the
corresponding month of any year since
1896, and, with the single exception of
last December, it is necessary to go
back to May. 1900. to find any month

A WALKING ARSENAL.
Samuel Ross, of Ottawa, Thinks
Neighbors Are After Him.

Samuel Ross, a colored man who
lived six miles south of Ottawa, is at
the police station with his family, wife
and four children, awaiting orders from
Sheriff Costigan at ottawa. Ross is
insane, and declares that the white
farmers living around him drove him
him day and night, poisoning his stock
and throwing rocks at his dogs, causing
them to bark so that he could not
sleep.
The whole family seems to share his
terror. They came to Topeka last night
or early this morning. and were noticed
at the Santa Fe depot by the police.
Ross was armed with a six-shooter, a
80 Winchester rife and a shotgun.
Sheriff Costigan was called up today,
and he said that he would see the pro-
bate judge about Ross, and probably
come after him tonight. He said that
Ross had been crazy for some time, and
he had been expecting orders to arrest
him for insanity.

do. that during this three year term,
the county charges up interest which
the purchaser of the land has to pay,
and which the county gobbles up. This
interest is put right in with the general
fund, and divided up between the city
and county, the same as the rest OF
the money. The city really gets the best
of it il this division
Eventually, it appears that the city
will get all that is coming to it, but
it may take some time to bring this
condition of affairs to pass. Meantime,
the city may become involved in some
unpleasant difficulties with the county
which might be avoided by some sort
of a mutual conference and more thor
ough understanding of the situation.
The city has already passed q strong
ly worded resolution calling on the
county officials for a report, and so
far this request has been ignored.

they claim that fully So per cent. of the
total number of coal mine workers are

all mine employees in the United States

suspension of coal mining is ever found

Workers. The strength of this organi-

largely to the coal producing area east
of the Mississippi river and particularly
to the central competitive territory, in
GLIDING Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and west

about 100000 mine workers are en-

From the above it Kill be noted that
in 1899. when the tax sale took place
every year, the amount actually receiy-

the proceeds from the delinquent tax

land sold for taxes. and the city's in
