State Board of Control.

Representative Atkinson of Rip d.
ley county has introduced bill
looking TO the placing of the Statr's :
insane hospitals and cleemosynary
institutions under the control OF a
state board to be appointed by the
Governor The bill would abolish
the present numerous boards and
concentrate their work in the hands
OF three men to he called State
Board of Control. The board is to
be bi partisan, each member to re-.
cclvc ~ 900 II year, aud TO have II
secretary who is torccclvc not more
than - 800.
The bill provides that the board
shall have full power to manage.
control and govern the Confederate
Soldiers Home, the Federal Sold
iers' Home, the State hospitals, the
Missouri Training School for Boys,
the Industrial Home for Girls, the
School for the Blind, the School for
the Deaf, the Colony for the Feeble.
Minded aud Epileptics and the State
Penitentiary.
This will do away with eleven
State boards, all receiving small
compensation aud expenses for at
tending to the business of the in.
stituti0ns.
In line with the bill introduced
last session AT the suggestion of
Governor Dockery by Senator John
Morton, this Board of Control is
to have power to secure bids OH all
staples and supplies for the institu
tions, but local dealers are always
to have the preference where they
will furnish them as cheaply as
other bidders. This feature was
not embodied i'll the Dockery bill.
The board will have the right to
examine into the accounts. Re.
quests for new buildings are to be
accompanied by plans drawn by
the board architect, who shall re-
ceive not more than 81. 900 year.
Iowa has board OF the same
sort as proposed by Representative
Atkinson Ii is said that Governor
Folk favOrs the bill.

ten days after Adams had passed over
to the Great Beyond, a spiritualist chap
announced to the widow that he had had
a communication with her late husband.
Where was her" asked the woman.
-" In. Heaven, of course, madam"
That's not possible was her reply.
He. fought his way all through life.
Had lawsuit on his hands every blessed
minute. That's not the sort that goes to
Heaven" e.-..
But the spiritualist stuck to his first
story, and at last it was decided to settle
the question by a second ''communi-
cation" If the deceased was involved
in legal difficulties, then it was really
Adams; otherwise, some other spook was
masquerading under Adams name
Perhaps week passed, and then back

Had he lawsuit on?" asked the widow.

spiritualist, and he said: Only fair
Then l inquired as to what seemed to be
the matter, and he said he had had little
argument with Saint Peter about the
location of his seat, and wanted to carry
the case into the local courts, but he
had looked through Heaven from one
side to the other and from top to
bottom and not one lawyer could he
find there"

it. He called in another MD, and in
less than a month was behind his counter
again, though appearing a bit seedy.
Then enter Tombs, sort of sore, to inquire
after the health of his quondam patient.
