A dispatch from Logansport to an Indianapolis paper states that there are now 1,200 persons at the Northern Hospital for the Insane at Longcliff. “of whom 400 are employes.” Too bad that the quarters are so crowded that they can’t make room for another hundred employes.

In driving about town one is impressed with the great amount of improvement going on in Rensselaer, both in the way of new residences, remodeling and repainting. On south Front street alone several of the houses have just been repainted, and the two new houses being erected by A. Leopold are nearing completion. In all parts of the city dwellings are being repainted, and Rensselaer never put up a better appearance, except for some of its streets, than she does at present. Now if the “city dads” would tear out the high brick crossings and fill up some of the holes in the streets, the improvement would be more marked

Father Geitl, head of the Indian school printing plant, was In Chicago a few days ago and purchased a new wire stitcher of larger capacity than the one now in use, to accomodate the work of the plant. Several Catholic publications of large circulation are printed at this plant. The composition has all been done by hand heretofore because of the fact, for one reason, that they are printed in different languages, some in German and some In English, and a linotype operator who understands both languages Is not very easy to secure. However, Father Geitl informs us that a linotype will be the next thing added to the equipment, and they will also put in electric power, no doubt.
