Twenty PATIENTS
TO RETURN HERE
New County Farm House Adequate
Thirty-Nine Patients in
Cherokee Now.

At the recent inspection of the
county farm it Twas decided, after OBJ
seryation of the very adequate pro-
visions for the comfort of the county
charges. that it would be entirely
justifabls to return a large per cent
of the Hamilton county inmates Of
the Cherokee hospital for the insane
to- this county.
There are at present thirty-nine
Hamilton county patients at Chero-
kee, each patient costing this coun-
ty $14 per month, or total of $546
per month. At least twenty of the
milder cases will be brought back
and placed on the county farm
about ten women and ten men. Their
return will necessitate an attendant
for the women at the farm, one for
the men already having been in
charge for some time.
The expense will be greatly lessen
ed and the accommodations at the
farm will be entirely adequate. The
county farm practically raises all it's
own produce and there is sufficient
help to carry on the farm work.
These recommendations have been
made to the Iowa Board of Control
who will arrange the red tape nee
essary to such procedure and the
patients will be brought here with
in the next two months.
The inspector was loud in his
praises of our new county farm
house and unhesitatingly places it in
the first ranks Of county houses Of
the state. Wright county officials
we're at the farm recently to inspect
The building and to note it's improv-
I'd features in view Of the fine new
farm house which will be
built by Wright county this season.

Evidence that Fort Dodge is

RINK "
FLOOR COLLAPSED
Nobody Injured But Skaters Piled
Up in Alarming Manner as
Timbers Sagged.

Saturday night about s o'clock
the new skating rink floor was COW
cred with skaters. There is about
two hundred feet of flooring under
the canvas on the vacant lot Just
west of the Elks club house, and as
many skaters as could comfortably
glide about upon the new floor were
gliding, when suddenly the floor
near the east wall began to sag.
There was declivity of about one
foot within a few seconds, and skat-
ers piled up in indescribable confu-
sion. Strange to say no one was in
jured and the supporting timbers
which gave way have been fixed so
that skating will be perfectly safe
in the future.

joice to learn that Friday the
Park Commission closed the deal
with John Svenson, whereby the city
comes into possession of all the land
north Of the ball park and west Of
Des Moines street bridge to Nokomis
park, including the river. The deed
also gives the right to build a dam
and flood other lands belonging to
Mr.. Syenson which will include a
gravel bed from which he has sold
from 500 to $3.50 worth Of gravel a
year.
Mr.. Svenson donates by separate
deed, a 20 foot strip of land above
high water mark for driveway pur-
poses, along the river bank just
south Of his residence property on
the north bank Of the river to the
east Of the bridge. While 1t is true

Ter grown old to young or old, and
/ few are the people who can resist
| the lure of the water, either in the
glare Of the MONDAY sun, or under
the spell of moonlight Here is. a
good opportunity for churches, COM
mertial league and private donors to
put in real missionary work, for the
only way to keep our young people
at home and in the right road is to
give them something to do and a
real place to play.
The park commission is now pre-
pared to receive bids for park privi-,
Ileges for the summer, consisting of
erry-gO-rounds, ice cream, candy,
lunch counters, boat house with
boats to let. bath house and bathing
suits. Arrangements may also be
made with the commission by privateI
parties desiring to keep their own
boat on the river in the park and
some provisions made whereby they
may rent storehouse room during the
summer.
With proper concessions in this
park, properly policed, there will be
automobile loads every evening, as
we'll as during the day time, from
towns far distant who will have
come to enjoy these park privileges.
All summer long, last year, there
were from two to five picnic parties
at time in progress in Nokomis |
park where benches and tables are
provided.
The scenery along the river as it
winds about the golf links of the
Outing club is Of exceptional beauty

SENATE UNFRTENDLY TO
BRANDEIS AND RUBLEE
Rejection Threatened Because
of Resentment Against
Administration

WASHINGTON. May 10. - The long
smoldering resentment in the Senate
against the Administrations defiance Of
Senatorial courtesy" in making appoint
ments now threatens to express itself in
a violent revolt against confirmation of
both Louis d. Brandeis to the Supreme
Court and George f. Rublee to the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Canvass of the situation in the Senate
by Senator James Hamilton Lewis, the
Democratic whip, has revealed that IL the
nomination of either Brandeis or Rublee
were brought to vote now both probably
would be rejected. lie has so reported to
the White House.
Nearly every Senator has acquired a
pet grievance against the Administration
through its recognition of Cabinet mem
bers recommendations in patronage dis
tributon.
Senator Lewis himself is one of the
latest recruits in the malcontents' ranks.
The Democratic whips recommendation
on the Chicago postmastership was turned
down by the President to make way for
one of Postmaster General Burleson's
friends.
Other Democratic Senators who have
felt the sting of Cabinet preference in
patronage are Gore, of Oklahoma; Hitch
cock of Nebraska; O'Gorman, of New
York. Sheppard and Culberson, of Texas;
Shields and Lea, of Tennessee; Hardwick
and Smith, of Georgia; Pitman, of Ne
vada: Reed, of Missouri, and MARITIME, of
New Jersey. None of these has openly
voiced his opposition to either Brandeis
or Rublee, but it is admitted that num-
ber of them are considering voting against
confirmation.
