lief of the owner, the mineral deposit
Is considerable one. Samples Of the
pre- have been sent to Chicago and an
analysis made in the laboratory of j..

contained As per cent zinc and 9 per
cent lead. If the ore is found In any

FIRST INMATE OF
CLENW00O DEAD.
SIDNEY cox, AGED AZ, PASSED 81
YEARS OF LIFE IN
INSTITUTION.

Glenwood, Aug. 8.-The first "child"
to be admitted to the Iowa Feeble
Minded institution at Glenwood is
dead and the body has been shipped TO
the home OF the father at Dubuque for
burial
His name was Sidney Cox, and he
was AZ years old at the time of his
death. He was 13 years of age when
he arrived at the Glenwood institu-
ton on Sept. l, 1876-the year Of the
centennial exposition at Philadelphia.
There were two other children for
whom applications for admissian had
been made ahead Of Sidney's, but he
was the first child to arrive. He had
thus been an inmate there for almost
thirty-four years, and was regarded as
q sort Of pioneer or old settler among
the children"
There are many children" there be-
tween the ages Of 80 and so. 1t Is their
permanent home. They grow old IN
years, bodily, but mentally never pass
far beyond certain line. They are
children in intellect. Society and CIV
ilization have found that this is one
of the best methods Of caring for the
mentally deficient.
Beginning at GIenwood Modest.
Iowa was almost the first state In
| the union to establish such a school.
The beginning at Glenwood was mod
| est. A few years before 1875 the old
home for orphan children of soldiers
was discontinued at Glenwood and the
| building thus left vacant was used for
the new charity.
| This old main building is still in use,
but it looks small and out of date IN
contrast to the many modern struct-
ures that have since been erected.
More than 1900 children now make
their home at the institution. The en-
ployes number nearly 200, Of whom
seventy-one are teachers. This gives
the little city on the hilp' a popula-
ton of 1,40O or more.
There have been three superinten-
dents of the institution in these thirty
four years. The first was DR.. O. W..
Archibald. He was followed by DR.. F.
! M Powell, who for more than twenty
| years devoted his time and talent to
establishing and perfecting the work
along substantial lines. Both are dead.
DR.. Mogridge, the present superin-
tendent, has been in charge for seven
years, and previous to that time was
assistant superintendent for number
| of years.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
work and is conducting it along broad
lines, making of it one of the noble
and useful charities of Iowa.
