tai for the insane at independence,
| Mrs. William George of Iowa Falls
attempted to end her life by hanging.

Hydrophobia is prevalent among the

has completed a series Of investiga-

believes, may avert the death OF many
more animals, and, perhaps human
beings.
Within few days our public schools

took to his heels as soon as he had
the child, disappeared in an Office
building and has not been seen since.
Mrs. Van Dyke will institute habeas
