It was soon learned pe ri oe oa aaa iz = as not bee € that they were on a strike. They mai ae went to the reception room over a7 : i M. & J. H. Tucker's dry goods store, and sent for the members of Board of Managers of the asylum who re- aide in town. Three members of the board soon came in, and Mrs. E. J. Wigginton, as spokesman for the strikers, stated why they had quit the employ of the state in a body. She said in substance that fifteen fe- male attendants had quit the employ of the asylum this morning on ac- count of an order issued by Supt. Rodes last evening. After supper, and while some of the ladies were preparing to attend church, Dr. Wilkerson informed them the Super intendent had ordered phat the at- tendants of the female halls should take all the patients that could go out into the yards and keep them there until ordered in; that none of them were to attend church or leave the building, and that the lights were to be kept burning in the hails till one o'clock at night; that the doors to the patients’ rooms were to be kept open till that time. and that one attendant in each hall should re- rain up and in the hall till 1 o'clock each night. The Doctor further informed them that the male attendants had receiv ed the same orders, and they were to continue for the rest of the hot weather. Mrs. Wigginton said that they took the patients out into the yard and in passing out inquired of Dr. Rodes how long they were to re- main out. He said until 10 o'clock. After keeping them out for awhile the patients became very restless and wanted to return to the halls. Dr. Rodes permitted them to take the patients back at 9 o'clock; that there are 11 hall and eighteen attendants un charge; in some of the halls there are thirty to thirty-five patients; that as soon as the patients found their doors were not closed and the lights not turned down at the usual hour, 9 o'clock, they became noisy and very unruly, and instead of one at- tendant remaining up in each hall it was found necessary for all to re main up, and even then it was im- possible to restore fair order. Mrs. Wigginton said it would be impossible for them to sit up at night till 1 o'clock and get up at 5 the next morning; that most all the attendants were members of some church and did not think it just to be deprived of chureh privileges that were extended to them while Dr. Smith Superintendent. Mrs. Wigginton said that Dr. Rodes vy often discourteous to the female at- tendants, and when they went to him for advice they often got short an- awers. The entire party corroborated all Mrs. Wigginton said, and some of them criticised the Superintendent quite severely. Dr. Scott suggested that they could not act for the board, but he and the other two present were will- ing to do all they could to reconcile matters and get them back, but the strikers were unanimous in deciding vfhat they would not return as long as Dr. Rodes had control. They told tke members of the board pres- ent that their object in sending for ‘them was to let the board know why they had left the employ of the state. They completed their morning work before they left. They first reported to Dr. Wilkerson, who is wWhysigan in the female halls, of <- They called Was as +r intention toleave. on him in a body, and Miss Sarah Clanton did the talking. The Doc- tor heard them kindly, and expressed his sorrow and hoped the matter could be adjusted. When they called on Dr. Rodes, Mrs. Wigginton rep- resented the party, and as soon as she told him the order was too se- vere, that they could not carry it ut, and that they had decided to leave, his only remark was: “Turn aver the keys andI will get those 7 SI a ce rr er Oe Oe OE Ne TAC EA De re PR rE Pe ec pit ete Rashes = eS NE Was ¢ to obey, locked up the pa the lights at 4 put out usual hour Up Where the Head Swine.

The der prohibiting any one of the men foreman had issued a strict or from crossing the plank until it was firmly fastened at each end, the pen- alty being immediate dismissal. One day I was standing on the American side looking at the struct- ure when I saw one of the men walk out on the plank, look at it a minute, then looked down into the whirpool below. He waited a second or two and then deliberately walked out on the plank, and when he reached the middle of it he stooped over, seizing the edges of the plank with both hands and, throwing his feet up, he stood on his head and kicked his heels and shouted to the terrified lookers on. He must have been a minute doing it, but I felt as though it was halfan hour. After satisfying himself that he had kicked enough he regained his equilibrium and then trotted along the plank to the oppo- site side, from where he started, seized hold of one of the iron braces of the cantilever and went down it head first. hand over hand, to the bottom. I never saw anything like it before. Of course the foreman discharged him and he was laid up two or three days, when I sent for him. He was one of the best men on the job, and I talked to him like a Dutch uncle and put him to work again. A Gift To The G. A. R- Madison, Wis., Aug. 2—Joseph W. Drexel, the New York banker. has written Commander-in-Chief Fairchild a letter tendering, free of expense, through him, to the surviv- ing Union soldiers of the late war, in perpetuity, the cottage on Mount McGregor in which Gen. Grant died. There is no stipulation as to how it shall be used, but it is speci- fied that the trustees shall consist of the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army, President of the Mount McGregor railway and such other persons as Mr. Drexel, or his suc- cessor as president Drexel & Mor- gan Banking company, may desig- nate. Commander-in-Chief Fairchild has laid the generous proposition before the executive committee of the National Council of Administra- tion of the Grand Army, which is now in correspondence with Mr. Drexel with regard to it.

Judge John K. Porter, of New York, one of the Government council in the case, has practically retired from the practice of his profession. The guards, who kept watch over Guiteau in jail, have nearly all lost their positions. Judge Cox, who presided over the trial lost his wife. The downward career of Charles H. Reed, of Guiteau’s counsel, which culminated in New York this morn- ing by his attempting to take his own life, adds another name to the list of victims of Guiteau’s anathema. The only conspicuous exception is found in Walter Davidge, one of the government counsel in the case. Mr. Davidge has apparently been more prosperous since the trial than before. He stands at the head of the Washington Bar. The defeat of the republican party in 1884 recalls the fact that Guiteau predicted its defeat. ASad Occurrence. A very sad thing occurred, in a Central township household, Sunday night. A little boy about eighteen months old, lay sick, and ona table near by, in a tumbler, was morphine which the physician had prescribed. In a another tumbler was milk, which was given to the child when thirsty. Some time Sunday night, the father got up to give the little patient milk and by mistake, got hold of the tumbler with the morphine, admin- istering a large swallow of it to the boy. When the error was discover- ed, everything possible was done to avert the inevitable consequence, but in vain, for in six hours the child was dead. The unfortunate affair has plunged the father into such grief and melancholy, thatit is feared he will go mad, and for this reason, all names are withheld from print.— Lamar Missourian. eer einen I ta Its thousands ot cures are best advertisement tor Dr. Sage’s Ca- tarrh Remedy.
