Twenty-One Years
in Insane Asylum,
Now in Right Mind
Mrs. Jacob Kreiger of Red Oak Re-
united to Family After Many
Years of Affliction.

RED OAK, Ia. Aug. 1o-(special.) Mrs.
Jacob Kreiger. who for the last twenty-one
years has been inundated in the Clarinda
asylum among the incuraby insane pa
tents ut that institution. is now fully re-
covered.
At the time OF her being taken there she
had been suffering from a form of relig-
ious dementia, and her husband thought a
season at that place would restore her mind
to its normal condition. but as time went
on, his hopes were doomed to disappoint-
ment and physicians gradually came to the
conclusion that she was incurable.
Four young children. three girls and
little boy. were thus bereft of mothers
care, and as the years went by and the
mother grew steadily worse. they came to
think OF her as almost lost to them. The
family grew up, scattered and married.
The youngest a boy. Clarence. now 2e. re-
moved to Washington and the father. now
broken old man. has for number Of
years made his home with him.
The eldest daughter, now Mrs. Edward
Swiger, living near Red Oak, and a woman
OF middle age, today has in her home the
mother. fully restored to her right mind.
About a year ago the physicians at the
Clarinda hospital noticed that Mrs. Krieg-
er's mind showed periods of lucidity, and
the periods gradually grew longer until
finally the woman was placed in a proba-
uonary cottage, where she speedily recov-
cred sanity. When the dazed woman be-
gan to pick up the broken threads OF her
life, 1t was gradually broken to her what
changes had come to her family When her
two daughters living near Red Oak came
to visit her for the first time after her
recovery she met them timidly and with a
strangeness born of the twenty-one years
separation, hardly able to believe they
were the little girls she left 80 many years
ago. Now she is the center of the house
hold of her eldest daughter, and the aged
husband is on his way from Washington
to make the family circle complete Mrs
Krieger has grandchildren as old as were
her children when she was taken from
them, and upon these grandchildren she is
lavishing all the wealth OF her restored
affections. Her recovery is said to be
complete.

LRlM WAR IS Now DECLARED
Building Inspector Insists on Permit
for State Buildings.
CONTRACTOR SAYS HE WILL NOT
Attorney General Backs Up the Con-
tractor and City Attorney stands
BACK of withheld and
Grotte.

War Is on in earnest between George A.
Spaul, Kansas contractor. backed by the
state OF Nebraska, and Building Inspector
Withheld, backed by the city of Omaha
Spaul says he can build the new $4,000
gymnasium for the state Deaf and Dumb
Institute without a permit and has already
got good start toward doing IT, withheld
and his chief clerk threaten to arrest the
next carpenter who raises a hammer unless
the permit is taken out and the SIS fee paid
to the city.
Spaul was called from his home in
Seneca, Kan, by the news that work had
been stopped on the building and arriving
here Wednesday morning demanded to
know why the state had to pay a tax on
buildings to the city OF Omaha, quoting as
his authority and supported by Attorney
General Thompson. Spaul said he has
never had to take out a permit for work
lone in Lincoln.
Chief Clerk Grotte replied that as far as
the attorney general was concerned his
word was Of no avail against the authority
Of the city attorney of Omaha, and that as
far as Lincoln is concerned nobody ever
takes out permits there for anything. In
Omaha permits are taken out by the
United States government for building on
its own army reserves.
Mr.. Grotte also declared that BY the
specifications Of the contract under which
the work is being done the contractor is
TO take out all necessary permits. The fee
would be less than SIS.
The building inspector is determined thai
the law shall be upheld and the contractor
remains grim and silent. There is nothing
possible but war to the death as there are
no presidents.
The old buildings Of the institute were
built before the present building Law
went into effect.

Tom Davis assistant street Commissioners,
was sleeping peacefully in the cool of the
morning Tuesday badly dreaming about
how badly Boss Tom Flynn was going to
do up the Shallenberger forces for Mayor
Jim, when his slumbers were arrested by
a terrific yowling Just outside his window.
Two kitties surrounded by a tremulous
aurora of flying fur and shattered sound
waves were doing little chewing exhibl-
ton just beyond the reach of anything he
could throw to the ground. Sleep became an
impossibiity, and 1t was hours too early to
get up. Tom Davis twisted and rolled
and threatened the felines, but 1t was all
to no purpose. The caterwauling was I'M
abated.
It became too much. No human being
could have withstood the noise any longer.
Mad with rage and forgetting his official
dignity altogether the disturbed city Off
ciaI arose and cladi%fth simple dignity in
his night shirt started down the stairs
and after tho cats. 1t was a cool and
balmy morning. A few milkmen may have
seen the white pathetic figure creeping
along the side Of the house.
The cats were too busy TO notice and
kept at 1t royalty.
Just as they were about to be seized and
rung into pieces there was monster up
heaval from the midst Of the fight. One cat
got its claws fixed firmly in the Others
back and with the hind feet planted
swung It high in the air. Just above them
was the outside hydrant for attaching the
