Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 16.-"The Gov
ernor: Pursuant to motion passed at
a meeting held in Guthrie, Okla, May
18th, O9, your board of trustees for
the hospital for the insane Of Oklaho-
ma visited the Illinois insane hospital
at Kankakee, and on the recommends
ton OF DR.. Green, superintendent, at
Kankakee we visited the insane insti-
tuition at Logansport. Ind
Both institutions are models and
are conducted oD a high plane. The
Kankakee asylum in which Illinois has
already invested approximately iive
million dollars, comprises eight hun
dred acres of land on which are
what is termed the administration
building, and many cottages for the
housing of patients and attendantss
a large farm house together with
barns, stables and chicken houses,
carpenter and blacksmith shop, ma
chine shop, laundry, tool house, etc,
also buildings for conducting research
as to diseases and their cause.
A hospital for the exclusive use of
bedridden patients that may require
surgery, costing ninety thousand dol
lars is nearing completion. This build
ing is a marvel in the detail of its
construction, being fitted with all the
conceivable appliances for the comfort
and welfare Of both patients and at
tendants.
The institution grows all the vege-
tables used (except potatoes), canning
thousands Of gallons annually; from
its dairy consisting Of one hundred
and thirty cows they obtain about two
thirds Of the milk consumed.
Water is supplied by two wells
each eighteen hundred feet deep. Corn.
oats and hay are produced in large
quantities.
The institution is now caring for
|twenty-four hundred and seventy-oqe
patients, and employs ave hundred at
ltendants. laborers, farm hands, etc
The cost for maintenance for the asy-
llum Is four Lundred thousand do,
lars per annam.
Counties from which patients are
sent 20 the institution pay one dollar
and fifty cents per week for each pa
tent.
'"fne Logansport hospital while
making approach to Kankakee. in the
number OF patients or buildings and
equipment We found to be well con-
Quoted, great care being given to san
itary regulations. and the comfort Of
patients and employees.

POLITICAL FIRES
s6tC|NN|NG TO BURN
okIahomans Viewing the List Of En-
tries For the 1910 Handicap
Three Cannot Be Reelected,

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 16.-It is under
stood that two of the present admin
istration will not be candidates for
reelection in 1910. State Treasurer
Menefee expects to enter the bank
ing business in Oklahoma City and
President Conners of the state board
of agriculture, which position was
made elective by the last Legislature,
win retire to his farm in Pittsburg
county. What Gov. Haskell proposes
to do has not been divulged. He said
in a speech before the state federation
Of labor at Tulsa last week that it
was probable the people Of Oklahoma
would not have an opportunity to vote
for hlm again soon.
The constitution prohibits the gov
ernor, secretary of state, state auditor
and state treasurer from succeeding
themselves in Office, but there is
nothing preventing them aspiring to
other offices; neither are they pre-
vented from being reelected after
one term has elapsed. The under
standing is tnat State Auditor Trapp
will be a candidate for treasurer,
with the probabilities of Secretary OF
State Cross running for state auditor
Labor Commissioner Daugherty,
Miss Kate Barnard, state commits
sioner of charities and corrections;
State Insurance Commissioner Nc
Comb, State Superintendent Cameron,
state examiner and Inspector Taylor
and Attorney General West win pre-
sent themselves for another term.
Judges Hurman, Doyle. and Owens OF
the criminal court of appeals, will ap-
pear as candidate for those positions,
which the law made elective when the
court became permanent After cleo
tion the judges will draw for terms
Of two, four and six years.
Chief Justice Kane and Associate
Justice Dunn of the supreme court
viii offer Tor reelection and the same
will be true of Col. J. J. McAlester OF
the corporation commission.
There win be no dearth of candi-
dates in the democratic primaries
While neither have made announce
ment, it is generally accepted that
Alfalfa Bill" Murray of Tishomingo
president of the constitutional con
,-vention and speaker Of the first legis
lature, and speaker of the first legis-
lature, and Lee Cruce, Of Ardmore
win be candidates for Gov. Haskells
place. Mr.. Cruce was candidate
ainst Gov. Haskell in the demo
cr5tic primaries two years ago. Added
to these are mentioned as possibilities
Henry Scales of Oklahoma City, ma
tive Of Tennessee and serving his sec
ond term as mayor of that town; Os-
car Halsell, a wholesale merchant OF
Oklahoma City and a native Of north
eastern Texas, and Judge c. A. Gal
braith of Ada, democratic member OF
the Hawaiian supreme court under
the Mckinley administration and for
mer attorney general of Oklahoma

FAVOR MILITIA;
WEAK ON CASH

AS far as the Chamber of Commerce
is concerned it would appear that re-
commentator to the Legislature for
increased militia is favored, but the
question of where the money is COM
ing from is raised.
The legislation committee of the
Chamber yesterday afternoon reported
against the proposition of an increased
appropriation for the National Guaru
THE committee believes she guard
should be increased but does not see
where the money is coming from.
However, the committee endorses the
suggestion for new armory, believing
that this appropriation could come
out of loan account. j. p. Cooke, A.
w. r. Bottomley and James A. Ken
nedy are the members of the commit
tee. The committee report says in
part,
"All items, except the armory
would have to be provided for out of
current revenue. No estimates are
given showing the extent of these ap-
preparations.
THE last Legislature appropriated
only $2760 for the National Guard for
the biennial period. The business in
terests of the Territory were at that
time assured that the National Guard
could be maintained at very little cost
to the Territory, and that the principal
expense would fall upon the Federal
government.
Your committee appreciates the ex-
cellent record that the National Guard
has made, and also the tireless energy
which the Adjutant General has shown
in bringing the Guard up to its present
state of efficiency. Nevertheless, they
cannot, at the present time, endorse
the appropriations requested, for the
following reason:
your committee does not know now
what demands will be made upon cur
rent revenge for appropriations at the
present session, but they do know that
the demands are so many and so ur
gent that there is going to be the great
est difficulty in keeping the appropria-
lions within the revenue. 1t would
therefore seem unwise to single out and
endorse at this time any special line of
appropriations.
1.-The armory is not in the same cate
CORY as the other appropriations asked
for, as it would undoubtedly be pro-
vided for in the Loan Bill There is
no doubt that the armory is urgently
needed, and your committee recon-
mend a suitable appropriation for the
construction of an armory, provided a
sufficient portion of the 'Drillshed' lot,
on the corner of Miller and Hotel
streets, is decided by the Federal to the
Territorial government for this pur-
pose.'

BUYS COLLEGE FARM.
Regents at Manhattan Get Another
Half Section.

Manhattan, Kan, April 1.-THE
meeting of the board of regents of the
State Agricultural college continued
over to this afternoon. The most i'm
portant business transacted by the
board was the purchase of farm OF
a half section of land lying northwest
of the campus to be used by the col
lege This additional land is needed
as the institution grows and its roll
of students increased from year to
year.
The board has not yet formally dis
cuSsed the matter of the election of a
new president and will not likely take
action in the matter before the June
meeting Ed Webster, director of ex-
periments. recently sent to the college
from Washington, is spoken of promi-
nently for the place. The report sent
out to the Kansas City papers that ex-
Governor Hoch was being considered
for the place is not taken seriously
here Several eastern men are talked
of in connection with the presidency
and it is expected that either Prof.
Webster or an easterner among those
mentioned by the committee appointed
last fall to look over the available
men for the place will succeed Presi-
dent Nichols as the head of the col
lege.
President and Mrs Nichols gave a
reception to the members of the board
last night which was one of the social
events of the season here.
