REVIEWS THE CONTRACT
FOR TERRITORY'S INSANE.

MUSKOGEE, |. T., July 25.-Com
missioner Wright has renewed the
contract with st. Vincent's hospita
in st. Louis for the care of the ter
ritorys insane for another year. Al
present there are eighty-fiye cases
from Indian territory. For theil
care, medical attention, food and
clothing, the government pays $500
year for each pationt.
This does not include Indians. The
government has a contract with an
asylum at Canton, S. d., where the
Indians are sent when they become
insane. But a demented Indian is
rare. The government has had this
contract for three years and there are
only ten Indians in the asylum. All
insane persons not of Indian blood
are sent to st. Vincent's.
