NEEDS FOR NEW
 ASYLUM PRESSING
County Judges Favor the Levy of Special Tax to Raise Funds for It, if Necessary-No
 Room for Patients.

Little Rock, Ark, May IT, Protesting against delay in the matter of building the new state insane asylum and urging that if the state is not able to spend the money now for the construction of that institution an extra ses- sion of the legislature for the purpose of levying tax to pro- vide for funds with which to build the asylum would be warranted under existing circumstances. County judges will appeal to Gov ernor Douaghey to provide some immediate relief for the situation.
 County Judge Asher of Pulaski county and County Judge Farmer of Garland county have already held conference with the gover- nor in regard to that matter araa 1t is understood that other county judges over the state will make a strenuous appeal for relief.
 County Judge Asher declares that the county officers will in- slst as far as possible on some relief, as the present condition is said to be unusual. Pulaski county alone has so patients, who would be confined in the State Hospital for Nervous Diseases, if there was any room in that iu- stitution. There is no room there, however, and the patients are being maintained in the County Hospital at the expense of the county.
 Such condition exists all over the state, it is said. In some counties the Dumber of insane patients is small, but these counties are not able to take care of their patients as Pulaski. as they are not provided with as thoroughly equipped and modern hospital and county infrmary couyeniences as this county. In instances the patients are held in the jails. In other instances county judges are now trying to arrange to keep their patients in private infirmaries at the ex- pense of the county.

The Kansas City Southern Surrenders "Janssen" Post Office De-
 partment Wins.

There is small thriving town south on the Kansas City South ern which has almost since its ex- istencey been burdened with a complication of names. It was incorporated under the name of "Cubanola," the post office de- partnent called 1t "Vander- voort" and the railroad company would not be satisfied for a long time with anything but ''Jans- sen."
 On the 18th of this month the railroad company issued an order abolishing Jansen station and making it Vandevoort, to conform to the postoffice name. It only has two names now, but is still ia Polk county.
