Capt. William Wallace Miller died

Of Vie men who kept the Confede-
rate leaders supplied with informa-
ton. He was brave soldier rs we'll
as useful scout.

w. b. Oliver, who has built so many
lines of railway in the South.

ASYLUM COMMITTEES REPORTS.
1t is Declared that Laws OF Decency
ana Health are Violated.

The report Of the committee ap-
pointed to Investigate the affairs at
the State Hospital for the Insane
has been made public. The majority
report, made by Senator'S Christen-
sen and Bates and Representatives
Dick and HARRISON Is stinging ar
raignment Of the board Of regents
for neglect of their duties, particu-
larly those laid upon them by their
own rules and regulations, which re-
quire that they shall report the con-
ditions at the hospital each month.
The report Is most temperate, at
taching blame to no one, presenting
the facts as they were found, the
laws Of the State and the institution
and the neglact Of both, but worse
than all, through the testimony sub
mitted showing the very grossest vio-
tatiOn and even decency, such as 'he
bathing Of fifteen patients of one
ward In the same water, and some
Of those probably afflicted with syph-
flitic diseases or tuberculosis. The
location Of the foulest water Closets
centers Of wide soil pollution, within
Q fe" steps CT what IS practically an
outdoor kitchen, the absence Of
screens and many other violations
OF the commonest laws Of health.
Following are the main features
of the report:
Foul toilet rooms, centers of soil
pollution, are in few feet of kitchen.
The bodies Of dead patients are
buried one on top of the other as II
they were animals.
Cholera hogs are allowed to run
in the asylum cemetery.
The wards, even OF the white wo-
men, are oyerrun with vermin and
are filthy.
Fifteen dirty patients are made
to battle In the same water.
Many Of the attendants are illit-
crate aud brutal.
Food IS badly prepared by mex
perienced persons and is served in
greasy, filthy tin dishes.
The institutions death rate is the
highest in the country-almost twice
as high as the average.
Cost Of remedy will be at least
$350.000
The committee recommends the
erection Of two asylums-- one for
whites and one for negroes--at
cost Of 81 100000.

There's No Good in White Flour.

"lt is just to please the eye. No
good can come from making -four
white," declares Chemist Wiley, of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. you cannot find any
amount Of bleached -four going into
interstate commerce at all now. |
can tell the change now by the bread.
Every time l cut loaf Of bread I
rejoice, because, instead Of 1t having
the whiteness Of corpse, it has that
beautiful delicate amber tint that all
bread ought to have. The electricity
was the agent which produced the
bleaching material.
Several cases are now pending
against millers, and I do not betray
any confidence Of the millers when
say that the fight on this case is
made chiefly by the men who are SELL
ing the machinery. The millers
themselves would not fight it for Il
moment if left to them. but the men
who are making this bleaching ma
chinery have been hurt. The bakers
Of the United States were always op-
posed to bleached flour They knew
the -four was injured by the process.
"This wheat -four case will be
fought by the best talent in this
country and the most celebrated law
yers."

Cotton Is King.
[ Birmingham Ledger.D

birmingham Ledger.)
Already Il Republican Senator far
out OF the cotton belt stands uD in
the Senate and boasts that the cot
ton crop Is the export crop Of the
nation. Senator Elkins said in his
speech on the price OF food and
wages that the cotton crop brought
$500. 100000 of foreign money to
the United States. He said that the
Western farmers cannot export any
thing unless they increase their pro-
duction materially.
That was saying that after all the
millions taken to Europe by girls
buying titles and all the gold taken
to Europe by travellers, and after all
the gold sent home by laborers and
others to friends in the old coun-
tries. our cotton IS the only thing
our nation can rely on to bring back
any gold from Europe.
The South Is constantly increasing
the number and capacity Of its cot
ton mills and the time will come In
generation when the home mills
will use all the cotton crop and Eu-
rope will have to pay us many mil
lions more than now. because she
will have to buy cloth instead Of raw
cotton. That will mean an immense
increase in the gold that will come
back to us. That is the only way we
get gold from Europe.
We have been getting some be-
cause those people had to buy wheat
from us. Unless the Western far
mer increases the size Of his crop
there will be little wheat exported
and the western farmer will be busy
feeding our own people. He gets
from the South much of the cotton
money and much of the bread and
meat the cotton farmer eats comes
from Western farms. As long as
that Is true the cotton money only
comes to us, stays while, then
moves on to the Western farmer,
where 1t stays. The Western farmer
raises his own food
1t is our cotton crop that keeps
our nation from harder times than
we now have. 1t IS great crop,
even for the men who raise it.

When Victor Hugo lived in Paris in

by barber named Brassier. A friend
Of the poet asked the barber one day
II he was busy. II hardly know which
way to turn" was the reply. I'VE
have to dress the hair of thirty ladies
for soirees and balls" And NJ. Bras
sier showed the list to his friend. A
few days after the friend returned and
inquired about the thirty ladies'. "Ah.
monsieur" said the barber sadly. II
was not able to attend half the num-
Der, and have lost many good GUS
toners through NJ. Victor Hugo" 1t
appears that the poet when about to
be shaved was suddenly inspired and
seized the first piece Of paper he could
find to write poem. Hugo hastily
left the shop with his unfinished
verses. on the back of which were the
names and addresses of the thirty la
dies. many of whom waited in vain
for their cOiffeur.

the way he fred questions at his
friends was caution. His golf &C.
quaintances accommodatingly replied
with all sorts of remedies. until finally
the bewildered one got his stenogra-
pher to jot them down. One friends
advice included three points-frst.
keeping the eye on the ball; second.
the necessity Of hitting the ball with
an easy stroke. and, third. the use of
rocking horse to develop the stroke.
The fact that the friend had a keen
sense Of humor did not occur to the
tyro until later. He Immediately pur-
chased large rocking horse and after
business hours seated himself astride
the fiery charger and swung at the
ball, which was securely fastened to
the floor by strong cord. He has
learned a thing or two since. The
hObbyhorse is no more, and he has
vowed to get square with mir. JOKER
