Every Cared For—Warden Sanders' Oppo sition Has Subsided. Special to Times-Republican. I Des Moines, Dec. 15.—Insanity is in creasing, if at all, but very little in is nothing like as great as formerly. nese are points oroucnt out in an extended discussion of insanity at the P' 'P state conference witn the board of for next year. control and incidental to a paper read by Dr. Podstata of the insane hospital number of insane is about 1 to every 400: in N'f'W York 1 to 300 in Califor nia 1 to 27D: in Nevada 1 to 210. The average he placed at 1 to 5S0. This is! only for those in institutions. He esti mated that the averase is probably as I high as 1 to 175.

Judge Robinson of the board stated that while the statistics show that for merly there were only one insane to every 2,700 or 2.SOO, and now there are one to every 430 in Iowa institutions: yet this does not really represent any such proportional increase. In fact there has been very little increase, at least recently. The statistics are not reliable, and besides the change large- cesses, and 15 per cent to syphilitic in ifluences. There was also discussion of the old 1 fiction about the farmers' wives going! insane because of lonesomeness. Heads of the state hospitals denied that this was true in Iowa, and it was pointed out that in the strictly rural states the proportion of insanity is small and board has been at work a long time.

The sister is Mrs. Joseph Mitchell, of Bedford, Iowa. She has written to S. S. Lippert, a nephew of Lucas, laying claim to the buried fortune. It was not known here that Lucas had any relatives living. Relatives of the late Mr. Lucas have been heard from in all quarters of the state since the story of his buried day brings letters from hitherto unknown relatives who want a share of the for tune. The search for the hidden fortune continues with unabated vigor, but as without success. Several places where the money was formerly kept have been laid bare, bu I' 1 are as much in the dark as ever in Iowa or elsewhere, and the increase regard to the present location of the 1 old. man's fortune.

Sioux City, Dec. 15.—More attention is to be given teachers of the public schools who are physical wrecks at once, according to a ruling of the school board made at its regular .meet ing in the office of Superintendent R. S. Whitley yesterday afternoon. The subject was brought up by Dr. J. C. Dunlavy, president of the board, evidently prompted by the sad death of Miss Arata "Wren, one of the teach ers. who was accidentally asphyxiated in her room at Morningside last Tues day. For years she has been suffering from an abscess in the head and fre quently taught her classes under ex treme difficulties. 1 "When teachers report that they are all right, but are found to be suffering from permanent ailments, they should be displaced at once." declared Dr. Dunlavy. "I have one case in mind now that should be looked after and I move that Superintendent Whitley be instructed to make a canvass of all the teachers tnd remove those he re gards as physical wrecks." The mo tion was unanimously carried. $30,000 SPENT ON THE PONIES. Otis G. Love Unable to Pay Alimony Tells Reasons. Des iMoines, Dec. 15.—Another peep into the matrimonial affairs of Mrs. Bthel M.
