Not Only Abandoned Women Fre- quent the Tough Resort, But Many Who Are Regarded as Respectable., In tho old Colorado house on Broadway, between Seventh and Iighth strcets, is located a den that, if all accounts are true, should be closed immediately by the police. About two months ago the house was rented by ex-City Poll Tax Collector A J. McClaren, wh> opened u saloon in the front room on the ground floor, whero for ars & drinking shop has been maimntained to accommodate the trade of about the toughest class of Council Biuffs rakes, With the revival of the saloon returned nearly all the old b ang ers-on, the result being that within a wee after McClaren took hold the police were frequently 1n roceipts of requests to close tho plac It was thought at first that the placo was nothiag wore than a fourth-rate drinking house and the police paid but little attention to it, but recent developments go to snow that thie den is still more danzerous toan a saloon—it maintains an opium joint; a room in the front of the second story of the building, whero those who have n desire can “hit'" the pipe and eujoy its deadly but temporarily exhilurating effects witbout fear of veing molested. This branch of the den is said to be under the personal chargo of George Sutter, a character weil known to the polic A man who has held various positions of trust in the police and marshal’s department and who has beou ono of Sheriff O'Neill's deputies is uuthority for the statement that tho joint really exists and that it is not only patronized by women of thoe town but by muny so-called respectablo wonmien whose names if published would startle the community. He states that he visited the place onc mnight mnot long ago in company with a certuin member of the polico force who nolds down a beat.on the day shift. He was shown by Sutter a com- plcte “layout,” among which were six or cight pipes. 'According to his story the policeman smoked bimself to sleep und re- mained under the infiuence of the orug, in the don, all night. Ho refused to smoke and left the placo disgusted with its surround- ings. It was in this bole that the cocking main of Saturday night was had. ‘The pit. was in a dingy httlo room just back of tho saloon.

Lewellen, superintendent of the Towa hospital for the insane in Clarinda, was in tho city yesterday, enroute home from Lincoln, Neb., where, last week, he attended the quarterly meeting of the Medical society of the Missouri Valley, of which organization he is a rominent member. While i the Bluffs Superintendent Lowellen gavo Tur Ber some interesting 1 formution concerning his asylum, it being all the more valuable to the people of western Iowa on account of the in- stitution’s infancy, its marvelous growth, and its great strides to the front among char- ‘iumln institutions of a similar churacter in owa. Tho asylum opened for patients December 13, 1585, at which time there wero receiveu from the hospital in Independence ninety in- curable and state patients, all males. Then on December 15 of the same year a charge of 225 patients of the same class was received from the mammoth institution in Mount Pleasant which is the oldest and most prominent in the state. The Mount Pleasant consignment was also made up of incurable and pauper male patients, so that Superintendent Lewellen found himself starting out in the management of his infant institution with a caro that was far_greoter than he had anticipated. But he was not discouraged by tais, and with the aid of willing' and ablo assistants he succeeaed within a month in baving the hospital in such splendid work- ing order that all_ visitors werc weicome 10 - iuspect it from cellar to garret. BEver since the cpening of the Clarinda hospital its district as provided by law has consisted of all the counties in southwestern Towa, including the county of Polk, contuin- ing Des Moines, The distriot being so largo it was not long beforo the six small wards which comprised the ounly section of the hospital, were crowded to overflow- ing with putients. The superintendent sought relief from tho legislaturo, but the demands of the other two institutions of the state were so much greater that Dr. Lewellen WAas| forced 10 give up the idea of enlurging the male do- partment and look to the builaing ot a femulo wing in order Lo relieve the distrassed condi- tion of Independonce and Mount Pleasant, Two years ago tho general assembly ap- propriated to this institution $108,400. Out of this appropriation the femalo department had to be builtand furaished and all other contemplated improvements, such us follow the opening of iustitutions of this character, made. Work was immeaiately commenc- ed on tho female department, and so rapidly bus it been pushed that by Junuary 1, 1803, several wavds will be ready for cupancy and not later than April 1 of next year the entire wing will be open for the re- ception of femalo patients who are to be brought frotu the othor two institutions of the state, which are both 50 overcrowded. The superintondent says tho appropria- tion sot aside for furnishing the new wiog was originally cut in two, and tho result is that what remained was used in the erection of the wing, so that before it can be furnished an additional appropriation must be asked for. Wuen this wing is occupied the number of. patients to bo cared for will exceed 600. The original plans of the asylum call for two more sections—one to be added to the maie, and the other to the femalo de- partwent of the hospital, The superintend- ent hopes that the neat legisiature will make him a liveral appropriation so that if noth- Ing wmore is done he can at least com- mence carrylng out the plans and thus take steps toward the tinal completion of the institution. To commence this work, and at the same Uwo not neglect tne asylum's yearly ueeds and the other fmprovements, Dr. Lewellen says that at least $200,000 ‘will be needed, aund §230,000 would not be too much, Tho superintendent says that tho out- builaings of the hospital are in noor condition and only temporary, peuding the anpropria- tion of more money from the stato for substautial structuves such as are sorely needed. The institution bas not as yet a chapel noran amusement hall, nor'ars thére suitable quarters for the empioyes of the institution, The laundry must bo en- larged to double its present capacity in order to do the work when tho fomale wing i3 occupied, and barns and store builaings wre badly needed. The live stock has no shelter now other than that given it by straw-top sheds, and much of the farm product Is rotting wway and going 1o waste every year owlug to thie lack of a bet- ¢ place to store it than caves dug into the While the Clariuda hospitaiis in a magnif- cent condition in every respect, cousidering tho length of time it has been open, the su- perintendent says he sees many ways for improvement, of which advantage must be taken by the state at the earliest convenient date. Hs thinks that when the needs of the Clarinda hospital are laid before tho approaching legislature it will see the necessity of immeiate action and make an uuusually liberal appropriation. ——— neral of Robert Parkhill, The funaral services over the remains of the late Robert Parkhill, the switchman who met such a horrible death in the Union Pa- olfic yards here Thursday night, were beld yesterday afternoon in the First Bap tist cburch, at the corner of First avenuoe and Sixth street.

Senator Peffer said he had no means of knowing who would be his new colleague in the senate, but he could tell of a number of gentlemen who would be mentioned for the vucancy. Among them were George R. Peck, George T. Anthony, ex-Governor Osborn, ex-Governor Crawford, Mr. Burton and others. All of them were, he said, very pop- ulnr men, and any one of them would make a zood senator. Mr. Peffer did not think that Senator In- galls would seck the appointment. [CONTINUED FROM FIRST PA K INSAS SORROIFS. Senator Plumb Was Admired by K sans of Every Po'itical Faith. Torexs, Kan,, Dec. 20.—The news of the death of Senator Plumb was a great shock to his friends in Kansas. No ono know that e bad been ailing, and the vigorous cam- puign he made last fall in the interests of his party scemed to be convincing proof that his robust constitution was in the best of con- dition. When the campaign opened last fall the re- publican party in Kunsas was in sore straits. The fall before it had lost every- thing to the farmers alliance—a seat in the United States senate, six out of seyen seats in the house, all but governor aud licutenant governor on the state ticket, and most of the county offices, The farmers practically con- trolled the state when the last campaign opened. Semator Plumb, while having no direct personal interest at stake in the election, weunt into the campaigu with a vigor and 'enthusinsm characteristic of whatever he undertook. Ho stumped the state from one end to the other, being obliged to undergo all the fatigues of 4 country campuign. His work is generaily credited as having been the prime cause of the overwhelming aefeat of the alliatco and the republicau victory. When the senator” ieft Kansas for Wash- ington hio was certainly in the vest of spivits, aud seemed to be in tho best of health, Tho announcement of his death wus, therefore, a groat shock. It is no exaggeration to that Mr. Plumb was the most popular man in Kansas, Ho was the idol of his own party and was highly rogarded by his political oppononts. As a man, he had the respect and_admiration of all 'Kansans without re- gard to political beliofs. Governor Humphrey Interview.:d. The KKansas law provides that 1n the event of the aeath of a senutor the vacancy shall be filled by the governor's appointment until the next meeting of the legizlature. The next legislature docs not mect until a year from now. Governor Humphrey was seen by a representutive of the Associated press this afternoon. He haa already been notified of Seunator Plumb's dcath by a private dispatch. He was greatly shocled ot the news, 80 much 80, ho said, that ho Lad given o thought as to the sena- tor's successor. He would, of course, make an appointment to fill the vacancy, but he had not considered any individual. * The va- cancy might be fliled at a special meeting of the legislature, but in view of the fuc that the present legislaturo is uuder coutrol of the farmers allwuce, and that the executive is republican such a course is out of cousidera- tion. ‘Phe namo of ex-Senator Ingails is al- ready prominently mentioued by the poli- ticians, he having been the nomince of tho party caucus at the tume Senator Peffer was elected, In fact no other name has received any mention at ail. The fact that the term of the appointee expires when the next legislature con- vones will make tho mext elcction in Kansas particularly 1nteresting, for tho leg- islature eloctod then will have the naming of o senator. The farmers alliance, while having suffered defeat at tne last election, is in no wise discouraged, and they have man- tained their organization and appear as vig- orous as_ever. They will now doubtless double their energy in the attempt to give Senator Peffer a colleague of his own polit 1cal faith, His Visit to Philadelphia, Puiapereuis, Pa, Dee. 20, senator Plumb visited Dr. William Pepper of this city on Friday lust for the purpose of obtain 1ng the opinion of that well known physician as to his condition. Senator Plumb had written to Dr. Pepper that he was troubled with _dizziness, and Friday's consultation was the resultof the correspondence that followed. Dr. Pepper tonight said, with reference to his examination of the senator: *L found Senator Plutb suffering from serious injury to the brain, due to overwork. The root of the right optic nerve wus affocted in such manner that one-half of each eye was en- tirely blind. There was no veason w0 hope for any immediate improve ment, und on the otber hand there Wi 00 reason to expect immediate serious results, Tho seuator’s condition was due almost catirely to overwork during the last campaign.” Senator Plumh remained here Friday night and left for Washington Saturday afternoon.

Nrew Yous, Dee. 20.—Jobn Mason brought an action against the duchess of Marlbor- ough, Georgia Wilhams, Jacob B, Lockman and others to sot aside an agreement, by renson of which the contest over the will of Louis C. Hemmersloy was wizhdrawn before the agrecment in the conrt of appeals.
