INSANITY SHOWS
SLIGHT INCREASE,
Number of Inmates in Wisconsin Asy-
lums Rises from 1886 to $685.
Forty Per Cent Women.

MADISON, Wis, July 29,-[Special.I
Whether insanity is increasing in pro-
portion to population is a question, but
the numbers in the state and county in
stitutions have increased from 1896 to
596S within the past year, according
to the statistics just filed with the state
board of control. OF these figures about
60 per cent. of the inmates are men and
40 per cent. women. The average ratio
of insanity is / to about every 3S2 peo-
pie.
Number of Insane.
Thirty-two counties of the state have
hospitals for the care of these unfor-
tunates. On June 80, there were 4l92
i'll county asyums; 90 in the Milwaukee
hospital for the insane 800 in the state
hospital for the insane 1T Mendoza and
60 III the Northern insane hospital at
Oshkosh.
Secretary Tappins OF the state board
of central says the number of insane,
who are being cared for in county and
state hospitals, is rapidly increasing,
but he says this is not to be taken as an
indication that insanity is increasing in
proportion to population. In recent years
the methods of care for the insane have
become so humane that people who
were formerly cared for in homes, are
being sent to institutions.
Chippewa Home Crowded.
At the present time 147 people are be-
ing cared for in the home for the feeble
minded at Chippewa Falls. This insti-
tuition is overcrowded. There are over
1000 applicants pending admission at the
present time, declares Secretary Tappins.
The following statistics show the in
crease in the different state institutions
on June so, 1904. and the same date in

MhRSH DRAINING
HAS COMMENCED.
DIGGING OF THE AVON CANAL IN
SOUTHWESTERN WISCONSIN
MARKS AN EPOCH.
1T WILL COST $4,000.
Ditch Will Touch Only Twenty five
Farms, But if Successful, Its In
fuence Will Be Great.

GAINESVILLE, Wis. July 2I.-lSpc-
cial. w hat is the most important step
towards the reclamation Of thousands OF
acres in Rock county has been actually
begun in the township Of Avon. the eX-
IRENE southwestern town lying on the
Illinois-Wisconsin state line. After two
years spent in litigation in the courts as
to the methods of procedure and tax
alton of costs the work of digging the
big ditch has been commenced and by tan
it is expected it will be ready Tor actual
use.
While it directly affects but twenty
five farms its influence viii be wide
spread and if successful another year Will
see more bitches of similar construction
dug which will eventually drain thou
andS of acres of now useless land. In
an early day the western portion OF Rock
county was the course of some mighty
stream whose course was followed out
by huge glaciers in the ice age. Grad
ually the mighty river has dwindled down
to the placid Rock, the Sugar and other
smaller tributaries.
Will Cost $4,000.
1t is the great valley left by the prog
ress of the glaciers, now low and marshy
in wet weather that is to be ultimately
drained. The Avon ditch is the first
1t will reclaim some five thousand acres
of land, will cost $4,000 to dig and 500
a year to keep in good condition after
wards. 1t will create a new body of wa
ter Increase the volume of the Sugar riv-
er where it empties into the Rock just
this side of the Illinois state line and
leave fertile valley fit for the growth
of the richest of crops.
The assessed cost Of the ditch lays
with the twenty-five farms to be bene-
fitted. They range from SO 63 to Si25. 20
and are to be paid in installments of five
years. The commission is bonded for
$4,000 and has borrowed the money to
construct the works.
The canal itself will be six miles long
when completed. Its average depth Will
be ola feet with 2O-fOot opening at
the top and a G-foot one at the bottom.
Starting near the Green county line it
runs through the township of Avon in
a snakey route following the contours of
the higher lands. In some places it al
most parallels the Sugar river few
rods distant and again is several rods
further south. 1t emptes into the Sugar
river just before it crosses the state line
where it uniteS with the Rock little
further on.
Drain Marshy Lands
The work is being done under contract
by Chicago engineering firm and is
being closely watched by farmers from
all parts of the county who seek similar
methods to relieve them of their low
lands flooded Mt every high water and
useless except for hay This is true of
Il vast territory in the towns of Center,
Union, Porter and Magnolia where the
glacial drift which followed out and wild
ened the Rock river into Lake Kosh-
konong in Jefferson county is continued.
The projected marsh to redeem this vast
territory is estimated will cost twenty
five thousand dollars and would empty

WIDENER TIMES.

The last two issues of The Times have failed to contain any items from Widener, and some of the fair sex have been lamenting the supposed death of the Swamp Angel, because their names were no more to be seen in the paper. The Swamp Angel is not dead by any means, and has only been waiting for something to occur about which to write.
 On last Saturday evening Mir. J. A. Houston and Mrs. .Salena Davis went to Forrest City, where they met MT. Jno. Kaufman and Mrs. Mamie Johnson, with whom they had previously plan- ned a trip to the Bluff City, where they spent Easter.
 Miss Hedley Kendrick, Widener's most popular girl, who is now stu dent in St. Agnes Academy of Mem phis, came home to spend Easter. She has made rapid strides along educa- tional lines, and Is still doing fine work. She has the best wishes of all.
 MT. Tom Jones, of Palestine, came over last Sunday to visit MT. and Mrs. Dicus, and returned Monday.
 Mrs. Mattie Woods, of Forrest City, is visiting Mrs. Davis this week.
 MT. Walter Sweet is our most pro- gressive farmer. He is running disc blow, and Is preparing to plant some of the Worlds Wonder" cotton.
 MT. Stanley Terrell, of Palestine, is congenial visitor here this week.
 Miss Katie Fields, of Forrest City, passed through Widener Sunday. She is teaching about three miles north of here, and had been home on visit
 MT. Ed Bird and wife spent Easter in the city, and returned Sunday night.
 Mrs. Paralee Houston gave us a call Monday, and was accompanied by her little nephew, Rodney Hartsill.
 Sweet Bros. have new clerk. MT. Verdy Wells has accepted a position with them. He is a young man of high ideals and possesses sterling busi- ness qualities.
 MT. J. c. Dicus, the popular "boy agent" of the Choctaw, has resigned, and he and his lovely spouse will leave soon for the west end, where he will still be employed with the same Com pany. Your correspondent desires to join in the general regret at the pros- poets of their early departure, and wish them much joy and prosperity wherever they may locate.
