ASYLUM COMPLAINT.
Board Will Make a Few Changes at
Topeka Hospital as Result.

Six employees of the state hospital
at Topeka have written letter to the
state board of control in which they
prefer charges against. DR.. T. c. Bid
die, Superintendent of. the institution,
to the effect that he is unnecessarily
harsh and stern in his control of the
asylum. No charges are made against
the superintendents integrity or abil-
ity or his treatment of patients, but
the burden of the complaint dwells
upon his Aautocratic treatment" of
employees.
The need of light service at night is
set forth in the complaint, and it is
likely that the board will order an all
night light service in the near future.
Another result of this complaint that
will bear fruit is that pertaining to the
custom of locking the doors to the new
revolving fire escapes and entrusting
keys only to special night watch
man. In case of fire the safety of the
inmates would rest entirely upon the
resource and energy and GOODNESS of
This individual. Governor Stubs will
at once confer with the board about
the ACCESSIBILITY Of entrusting fire es-
cape key with each one of the head
nurses at night
The charges against DR.. Bidd1e will
be considered by the board at a spe-
c.al meeting in the near future.
DIR. Biddle has the supreme conf
Gence of the board. His management
OF the institution has placed it on the
highest plane of efficiency and cleanli
ness and of comfort for the patients.
1t is hoped by the board that the doc
tor will be able to strike happy me-
iium in his treatment of employees
without affecting the discipline or the
effectiveness of his control of the in
StitutiOn.

Fooled Man Seeks Revenge.

The Wouldn't it be grand to be in
love with a man who is apt to kill

Jean couple in recent play finds it's
counterpart in real life in the trials Of
Ildifonsa Jimenez Torres and Capriano
Lopez-only Ildifonsa is married to
Dionicio Torres and both her lover and
her husband are apt to kill her, which
makes it really a fierce love affair.
The gentle romance began two years
ago in the fertile hills of Mexico where
the sheep browsed in the hot sun and
nature seemed to slumber serenely in
the little valley. But that same hot
sun fires love to fighting pitch and
there Dionicio bore away his trembling
happy Ildifonsa.
And he took her northward to cook
for him while he drove spikes and
heaVed mud for the "blgga" railroad
which finally carried HIM and his pretty
sonora in their Doxcar apartments to
changing fortunes of unfiower Kansas.
But the unrequited love Of Capriano
Lopez, gallant troubadore, made him
restless, and he. too. enlisted in the

Fortune favored Dionicio Torres and
he was given the rank of aide in the

Capriano Lopez. He was sent on up
the field with the boxcar transports.
But not a day did he forget his love-
and Sundays ever found the lover how
ering near the quarters of the gentle
Ildifonsa.
Then one day in the week, the I'M
daunted lover came to the house Of
Ildifonsa while Dionicio was away. 1t
was Tuesday, the 9Th day of Novem-

the borders of his native land and
