A FARM FOR THE INSANE

THE COr.VTY BUYS 148 ACRES OF LAND NEAR J L' LI ETTA. Bids Advertised for a Tiro-Story Brick Balldlne to Accommodate ISO People. The County Commissioners have purchased 14S acres of land near Julletta, this county, and will build an Institution for the Insane poor of the county. The land was purchased of Emma Bergener for J3.112.50. It is situated on the county line about ten miles southeast of the city. The C, II. & D. Railroad passes through It and there ls a station at Julletta where some of the trains stop. The land Is within a very short distance of the village. The purpose of the commissioners in buying the land is to establish a home for the Incurable Insane, who have been kept at the county asylum. Several months ago the board reached tho conclusion, that it was necessary to have a separate building for these unfortunates, and it was at first intended to build at the county farm. Tho board submitted its plans to the State Board of Charities and was there met by vigorous opposition. The state board insisted that ' the building for the insane should be erected as far away from the other county buildings as possible. The commissioners realized that the land occupied by the county asylum is growing more valuable each year, and It was reasoned that perhaps in a few years it would be deemed advisable to dispose of this land and buy somewhere else. After due consideration the board decided that It would be as well to locate the home for the Incurable insane on some other land, and It was voted to buy the Julletta farm. The board is pleased with the purchase and claims it secured a bargain. The State Board of Charities has approved the purThe commissioners have advertised for bids for the construction of a brick building two stories in height and large enough to accommodate 15 people. At the Poor Farm at the present time there are over a hundred insane inmates. The board expects to push the work on the new building as rapidly as possible. A superintendent will have to be chosen for the farm, and Its management will be entirely separate from the county asylum. It Is said that the Bethany Park Assembly when looking for ground suite ble for camp meeting purposes several years ago came near buying the Julletta farm which the commissioners have purchased. STOUT'S CIRCUS VENTURE. Beer Garden Profits Sank In a Trained-Animal Show. Stout's trained animal show, which started out of this city several week3 ago to make a tour of the country, has collapsed after a stormy career, and tho Question of who is entitled to the performing horses, which were the prominent features of the show, will probably have to be settled in the courts. Mrs. Ann E Canaan, who resides on East State street, this city, brought a suit yesterday to recover possession of these horses, and she aks that she be awarded damages in the sum of $4,000. Wesley A. Stout, manager of the show, and from whom the organization took its name, is made defendant to the suit. Stout has been maintaining a beer garden of somewhat notorious reputation on West Market street, near the Statehouse. Early in the summer he staretd out In the circus business, taking the outfit which Mrs. Canaan purchased two or three years ago for her sons. In the replevin suit brought by Mrs. Canaan to recover possession of her horses she mentions "Mohomet," "Sultan" and "Mogul," among a number of other performing animals. The plaintiffs -attorney says that Stout made a contract with the Canai.ns by which he was to pay all the expenses of t':e show and give them onehalf of tho profits. Stout avers that it cost him $100 x day to keep the concern going, and he alleges that the receipts averaged about & a day. He saye he is weary of the show business and asserts that his experienco l as cost him in the neighborhood of $3,000. The show returned to this city about ttree weeks ago and set up for business on East Washington street. It seemed that Stout's trained animals could not compete with thcs-3 of liagenbeck, at Illinois and St. Clair r- treats, and the performances were suspended after a night or two. It is claimed by Mrs. Canaan s attorney that Stout removed all of the horses a few nights ago without her consent and shipped them to Martinsville, where they are now. When the sheriff served a notice on Stout yesterday evening that he had been sued for possession of the trained stock he remarked that as far aa he was concerned Mrs. Canaan could have tha trained animals. It is also said that trouble threatens the erstwhile circus manager from another direction. According to reports. Stout desired to travel about the country in his own "palace car" and leased a coach from a Cincinnati man. Tho car was fitted out with sleeping apartments, a kitchen and a dining room and was equipped with a considerable quantity of silverware. Since the show returned to the city the car has been standing on a sidetrack unprotected from thieves. It is claimed that a good deal of property has been carried away from the car and that the owner now threatens to bring suit again Stout to recover the value of the stolen property. FIRE IN THE JAPAN ROOM. A Hard Blaae to Fifth t at the Laycock Plant. About 8 o'clock yesterday morning fire broke out In the Japan room at the plant of the Laycock Manufacturing Company, on West Tenth street, and a loss of $500 was caused before the flames could be extinguished. The fire was kept confined to this room. There was some highly combustible material in the room and the firemen had considerable trouble In putting out the fire. No one appeared to know how the flames started. Shortly after the Laycock fire the department made a run to No. 436 South Alabama street, where a two-story brick residence was damaged to the extent of 123. A short time later names were discovered in a shed at 1024 Virginia avenue. This fire communicated to frame buildings at 1022. louc and Virginia avenue, where the damage was slight.

The occurrence ls made more Interesting by the fact that the mother ls but rixteen years old and weighs only 110 pounds.
