Lawrence, April 6.-There is plan

That the new building is needed no
one who has been inside of the old
farm can doubt. The grounds around
the house are pretty and well cared
for but the building itself is in pitiful
state of decay.
Among the inmates are several odd
characters, human derelicts who have

charity provides for them. Some of
these people have relatives of wealth

Then Dropped Dead.
Lincoln, Kan, April 6.-As a herd
of cattle was being driven through
town and entered the east part of the
city, one of them went mad. He first
chased Homer Thomas and next Earl
Beach but did not hurt either of them.
When he was passing the residence of
c. H. Berry he jumped over the fence
and up on the porch. Miss Susie Berry
was on the porch and had just time to
get in the house when he was on the
porch. He tore around in the yard for
some time and later dropped dead.
The day was hot and the cattle were
driven from the Ellsworth Lang place
near Colbert. 1t is thought that the
animal became overheated which
caused him to go mad.
