But there was great surprise when

Of this white rat as she would be Of
her own kittens.
When they are fed they are given

The Growth Of Insanity.

Statistics serve to show q steady
increase In the number of the insane.
The most reliable statistics known to
us. those taken In Massachusetts,,
show that In that state the number
of insane in the asylums Is increasing
from $50 to 300 year. which is
much larger proportiu.Ate increase
than that Of the sane population. Re
ports from other states show similar
results. Some Of the more generally
accepted causes Of the increase Of In.
sanity are given as follows: The over.
tension Of modern life, brought on
by the keen struggle for life; the con.
gestion and excitement Of city life.
and the fact that insanity is becoming
more and more an incurable disease.

Division Fight
in Custer County
Friends Of the Movement Issue State
ment Explaining Situation Since
Failure of Rose Petition.

CALLAWAY. Neb., Nov A-(special.)-
The question Of the division Of Custer
county into four counties will appear on
the Official ballot November g. Since the
failure Of the petition for q fifth county
TO be known as Rose has failed the situa-
ton has become somewhat confused, and
the following explanation has been issued
By the friends Of the division movement
for the guidance Of voters:
First-Arbor county, being the southwest
quarter. with Callaway, Milldaie and Arm
ola as prospective county seats.
Second-Alban", with Oconto as the pros
pectiye county seat.
Third-Corn county, the northeast sec
ton, with West Union, Sargent and Com
stock as prospective county seats.
Fourth-Rose county, the southeast SEQ
ton, with Mason City and Anslay as pros
pecuve county seats
Leaving the northwest section a. Custer
county.
Now the Rose county petition having
failed, the first three, nameS, Arbor. the
southwest section Albany, the Oconto SEQ
ton, and Corn, the northeast section, are
to be voted on, leaving Rose and the
northwest section to comprise the old
county Of Custer. This territory covers
from the northwest to the southeast corner
Of the county, with the railroad running
| through the center making Broken Bow
easily accessible by rail from any part Of
tn territory, and giving the Broken Bow
people all in the way Of territory, valua-
ton and population that they can reason
ably ask, while the propositions to be
voted on are to cut off that territory
| from which II is the hardest TO reach
| Broken Bow.
/ Now, we see no reason why II this
/ question was fairly understood, that d.
| vision along these lines should not carry
/ by a large majority.
The division of Custer county is inevi
table, and every one who has given thu
matter any thought will concede this
Now, when the opportunity offers to sat
isfy ell sections. why not settle this vex
! ing question once for all timer
! Nothing but division will satisfy tht
majority of the people. and II division
fails by reason of the throwing out o.
the Rose county petition, II Is = Ger
tainty that the divisionists will not res
their case until they have had a fai
chance to have the people pass on TIL

Coming into Phelps county where his party
associates expect to give him big major
ity next Tuesday. Chester A. Aldrich. re-
publican candidate for governor, was
heartily received this afternoon BY a large
crowd which he addressed at the local
opera house. W. A George, candidate for
state treasurer, accompanied Mr.. Aldrich
here and also spoke At today's big repub-
ncan rally.
In direct contrast to the reception given
Dahiman and with after effects which gave
great promise Of having won instead OF
lost votes, Mr.. Aldrich's speech here today
was one OF the best ever heard in this
county. Republicans who until today had
been standing on the border line OF in
decision and whose tendencies, however,
distasteful, were to follow the banner OF
the Omaha mayor, we're among the first
TO congratulate the David City man and
enthusiastically to renew their allegiance
TO the head Of their party's ticket.
Several auto loads OF local republicans
met the Aldrich party at ATtell and &C
companied them to this city Although
they arrived here late In the afternoon an
enormous crowd was on hand. waiting pa
tiently until they could hear the repub-
lean candidates speech.
w. A. George Of Broken Bow preceded
Mr.. Aldrich and although he spoke but
briefly, made an excellent impression
Upon Mr.. Aldrichs Introduction to the

splendid ovation, one in fast which indi.
