cago was late and they were compelled
to wait for nine hours for connections
for the east. The Lieutenant Sawyer
referred to is a Danatella shaped In
dividual about three panels in height
and so straight that he leans to the
rear. The idea prevailed when the
ompany started on the trip that he
would be unable to sleep in one berth
on account of his height. However,
before time for retirement arrived the
other members of the company con-
trived to shut him up like a jack knife
and he made the trip without further
embarrassment to himself or the re-
naming members of the company.
Four of the members of the COM
pany had arranged for their wives to
accompany them on the trip, but when
they arrived in Topeka were confront
ed with an army ruling and the best
that could be done for the wives was
to permit them to occupy car on the
same train.
The following resolutions drawn up
in regulation form were received at

Account of Appeal Cases.

A policy inaugurated by F. G. Dren-

by the administration, of settling out Of
court questionable lawsuits, was given

be to authorize the admission Of all
patients who are willing to pay the cost

will be as low as consistent with the
high class of food which tubercuIars
must have. The hospital would receive
patients from any county in the state
when such patients were sent by or
der Of the county commissioners.
Patients thus SENT would become a
charge against the county, and each
county would pay for the cost of the
treatment and board of it's own
patients only. In that way the state
would have nothing whatever to paw
for the maintenance of the institution.
and there would be place where the
tubereular victims of the state could
be taken care of at the minimum OF
expense.
