INSANE FROM HEAT.
Case of Miss Maud Maitland Is Pitt
able One.

Down in the county Jail this after
noon, crying and begging for something
to eat and barking like dog, splitting
like a cat is a wreck of womanhood,
Miss Maud Maitland, "a years old. She
has been living for many years at 705
Clay street where with nerve Wracking
labor and incessant toiling she has pro-
vided a living for her aged and deaf
mother, Mrs Eleanor J. Maitland, and
her aunt who is also deaf and has for
n, any years been an invalid, Mrs. Pa
tience Webster.
Saturday evening after she had been
reading to her mother and after a long
days work during the hottest of the
season, Miss Maitland lost her mind,
and failing to the ground she uttered
strange things about stars and childish
fancies. Then she became violently in
sane and only through the help of the
neighbors was she able to receive help
and comfort.
DR.. H. H. Keith was called and he
administered aid at once and stayed
with her until she was practically nor
NAL But when nightfall came she re-
newed her violent spirit and moaned
and pleaded with imaginary stars which
seemed to hang just above her head.
Sunday morning Detective Carl Law
son AMI officer Brown brought her to
the city Jail. But she could not be
handled easily and was transferred to
the county Jail.
She IS in the coolest cell in the
building this afternoon and papers are
being made out prior to her conveyance
to the state hospital for the insane.
Her mother can hardly realize what
has happened and she is helpless. She
is the widow of the Rev. William J.
Maitland, who was at one time a Bap-
tsst minister in Topeka. The people
of the Baptist church have been help
ing them as much as possible but the
largest part of The support has fallen
upon the overworked daughter. Miss
Maitland had supported the family by
fancy lace for a firm in New
Yorks
DIR. Keith is of the opinion that the
intense heat combined with overw ork
caused the breakdown. The Baptist
over the city will be ask
ed to provide Tor the welfare of the
family.

MARSHALL IN CRAWFORD co.
Will Continue His Fight on VioIators
of Prollibitory Law.

Assistant Attorney General John Mar
shall left today for Gira-d, Crawford
county, where he will remain all week
and continue his fight against the vio-
lators Of the prohibitory law in that
locality. He spent all of last week in
that county and made progress in his
campaign. He hopes to finish his work
this week. He stated today that he has
been given hearty ard efficient support
by the county attorney and sheriff OF
Crawford county. and expects with
their assistance to make the county as
dry as q powder horn.
There is a large foreign population in
Crawford county employed in tie coal
mines and this fact makes the work
of enforcing the prohibition laws a hard
task.

Western Wooden Mills May Soon
Resume Operations.
Possible Stock Company Will Be
ReorganiZed.
AT GARFIELD AGAIN

: GARFIELD AGAIN

The mem bers of the stock company
which owns the Western Wooden mill
are talking of taking steps to operate
the plant again. 1t was closed down
two months ago. At that time it was
said that it did not pay. Since then
tie orders which had been taken for
the mill are being filled by the Oakland
Woolen mills. The officials stated that
the work could be done more advant-
ageously by tine Oakland plant on ac-
count Of better arrangement of ma
chinery. None of the machinery was
transferred to the Oakland mills from
the Western mill building at East
Laurent and Madison streets. On this
account there has been persistent ru-
NOR that the suspension of operations
was only temporary.
This morning when asked about a
report that the mill would be in opera
ton in the near future. John McAfee.
manager Of the Oakland mills, who was
also superintendent of the North side
wooden mill, admitted that efforts are
being made to resume operations. He
also stated that it was possible that
the company would be reorganized but
would not give anything out more than
this at present.
The matter is of great interest to
those on the North side as well as
Go the city at large. The mill employs
about 100 hands. When the plant closed
down this spring, the best of these were
transferred to the Oakland mills. The
North side mill was built about six
years ago. It has closed down for a.
short time several times in its history.
While no official action has been ia
ken on the matter. it is very likely that
the Young Peoples Alliance and the
Womans Missionary society which
closes its eighteenth annual assembly
at Garfield park today, will meet in
the park again next year. The manage
rrsent of the alliance are well pleased
with the park this year and have taken
note of the Improvements made at that
place since their meeting last year.
They are also grateful for the courtesies
which the Commercial club and other
Topeka organizations have extended to
them. Yesterday 1t i5 estimated that
in the neighborhood of 1000 people at
tended the services. The assembly closes |
this evening with sacred concert.
