Temporarily Insane

Charles Malone, a white man
who for some time past has been
in the employ of the City Steam
Laundry, tanked up on Jamaica
ginger one day last week, and
acted in such a queer manner
that he was thought to be insane.
He was placed under arrest and
was tried before a jury on the
charge of lunacy, the jury having
declared him to be tenn porarily
insane Malone was placed in
Jail, but was subsequently, re
leased upon the advice of Dr.. ].
w. Lipscomb, county health
officer.
Jamaica ginger and other
equally pernicious connections
are responsible for the mental
condition of many of the inmates
of the insane asylums of this and
other prohibition states. When
it is impossible to procure liquor
people who have been in the
habit of drinking it often substi-
tute drugs containing alcohol.
cocaine and other ingredients
which always affect the brain.
There was introd uced in the
Legislature recently bill limit
ing or forbidding altogether
within the borders Of the State
all drugs containing alcohol, CO.
caine aid other similar ingred-
tents. The bill failed TO become
a law, however, and the only way
to prevent the growth of insanity
throughout the State is for the
druggists to exercise due care
and diligence in dispensing these
drugs.

the leaders Of recent discoveries. In
Striking shaft to depth of about as #.
workmen went through a body of excel

a half feet thick. Since then work has
been carried ON with view of testing
the width of said body, and while the
width has not as yet been ascertained
the thickness has been maintained. All
work thus far done in the Chief of Po-

after some heavy shower, and bridge
and abutments must both be replaced.
We cheerfully look upon it as unavoid-
able and, although we grumble little,
quite readily pay taxes next year for
someone else to waste in putting in
culvert about four times too large and
a bridge twice as long as needed. But
when we ask where to get trained men
we find we haven't them available our
system hasn't been of the sort to make
them. We must train men from tho
start if we are ever to have good roads.
The Iowa Highway Commission has
adopted the plan of holding a road
school for week in the summer, to
which all road supervisors are invited.
They go to the Iowa State College,
where they see all kinds of road ma
chinery at work and listen to lectures
on the best types of bridges, culverts
and road machinery. They are given
liberal opportunity to aSE questions and
all the help possible IS given them in
the various problems they nave met IN
their work. Some such method as this
must be adopted in Wisconsin if we are
to see any results from the $50, 600, 00O
that will be spent on the roads and
bridges in the next ten years.

Need for Trained Road Makers.

1t is somewhat astonishing to learn
that a sum aggregating nearly three
million dollars is spent annually by the
rural districts of our state for roads and
bridges. 1t is hard to believe that in
the last ten years about twenty-five
million dollars have been spent for these
purposes outside of the cities and will
ages, especially so when the condition
of the roads and bridges is taken into
account. They have now practically the
same appearance that they used to have
before those twenty-five millions were
spent. The money has literally been
dropped into the holes in our roads.
When we start to build house we
get practical mechanics; in word, we
get men who know their business. We
don't let the job to neighbor Jones and
his boy, who never built anything more
pretentious than a COW shed. Yet
when we come to select man to KEEP
the road in repair we elect one who has
given but little, if any, consideration t.
the best and cheapest means Of keeping
that road in proper shape. We trust II
luck that he viii do it well enough, but
he puts in hundred dollar culvert tha
is too small and washes out, or fiv,
hundred dol,ar bridge without propel
abutments, which is soon undermined

Happy Reception Parry.

In honor of Capt. Phil. Lawrence who
was here from Huron, S. Dakota. and
Rev. and Mrs. Hurd, after another
years successful, service on behalf of
the M. E. church society of this city,
Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Hoare sum-
moned about ninety intimate friends
and neighbors to their pleasant home
Tuesday evening. To say it was among
the most jovial and happy gatherings
in the lives of those who participated is
about the mildest term applicable.
Grand Army veterans and members of
the Woman's Relief Corps largely pre-
dominated, which fact, with Mr.. and
Mrs. Hoare as host and hostess, is all
the guarantee necessary for a good
time.
Two large tables, together seating fif-
ty, were set on the lawn and guests par
took of a bounteous supper as the rays
of a bright setting sun "sifted through
interlacing boughs.' 1t was scene and
experience not soon to be forgotten by
anyone present. Upon the approach of
night there was an assembling within
and near the house, where mirth and
music predominated necessarily until
10 O'Clock or later The Imperial Male
Quartette, consisting of Carlos Toay,
Francis Coady, Charles Hoare and Will
Vickerman, contributed liberal share
of entertainment.
Briefly stated the event clearly illus
trated the pleasures of life and worth
of friendship as found to exist in Min
