[ Special to Tnn BKK. ] It has been a matter of consid erable Inquiry ns to why la a peaceful anil rural state lilto Iowa the number of Insane people should constantly Increase. The stnto has three hospitals of largo capacity now constructed and In oporatlon. When the hospital at Mt. Pleasant was built It was supposed that It would lost for many years and furnish all tlio room that would bo needed. Hut four years ago the trustees asked an appropriation for a now wing to ac commodate ICO additional patients , and two years ago another requestor the same sort was preferred , both of which were granted , nnd still the hospital Is crowded. A second asylum was built at Independence , and it was thought that this , with the Mt. Pleasant asylum , would bo amply sufllcicnt for the needs of the state for many tnoro years , nut Us capacity was tested , and still the mnn'uur of Insane Increased till the poorhouscs of the stnto wcro sheltering unfortunata mun imii \votnon wlio were BUfTorlmj for the cnro nnd treatment of a hospital , So two years ngo the loRlslnturo umdo an appropriation for anew now hospital and It was located at Clnrlnda nnd has now bccorao fairly organized nnd ready for work. Hut tlio Indications ore that In a few years at the furthest , another hospital will have to bo built to accommodate the Increasing number of the Insane. It socms pretty hard to toll why. In a rural state like this , nwny from tlio distractions and the hurry nnd worry of great cities , there there should bo a steady Incrouso in the num ber of the insauo. People who nmko an off hand RUCSS would say that the fewest kisnno wcro to bo found among farmers , nnd the greatest number among the overworked and worried business men of the cities. Investi gation shows that quite the reverse Is true. Mr. L. F. Andrews , the assistant secretary of tlio state board of health , bus bcon giving special attention to this line of inquiry with very interesting results. Ho flnds that overexertion - exertion and nervousness are not the cause of incrnuso of Insanity , but that it comes from that class of tlio population that seem to bo most f rco from nervous diseases. In other words , the agricultural classes furnish more inmates for the asylums In proportion to the population than any other. In 1835 , with a population of 1,181,071 pursons over ton years of ago , nearly one-third were engaged In agriculture , and yet the statistics of last year show that there were 731 Insane persons from the agricultural pop ulation with but 730 from all the remaining population , or about three insane from the farming populatiou for every ono Irom other classes. During the biennial period ending In 1633 there was in ono hospital ISO farmers and eighty farmers' ' wives. At the same time there wcro but four professional men nnd ton wives of professional men. For the period ending last year the farmers num bcrcd 209 , their wives 153 , while the pro fessional mun numbered but seven nnd with but bt'vcn wives of professional men. This is a remarkable and a surprising showing. According to these figures tlio bulk of the Inmates of the different asylums of the state come from the farming classes , from the men and wouipn who nio supposed to IIP free from the special worries and nnnoy- nncos that people who llvo in the rush and whirl of lurgo cities are subject to. Mr. Andrews , in studying these statistics , lias n theory by which ho explains the pheno menon. Ho holds that while ovcrworlc and business worry may break down men's con stitutions It very rarely drives them insane. In support of this ho cites the fact that since the beginning of the Mount Pleasant hospital , the oldest ono in the state , there have been but 147 patients there whose insanity was attributed to overexertion , Oiily sixty-seven to business anxiety and only fifteen to exces sive niontnl effort. In other woids it is not nervous disease or montul break-down that drives men crazy , nnd to explain the cause of so much Insanity among the sober industrial classes ho suggests the fact of their isolation , lie holiovos that social intercourse is the safety valve of the race , and that the farmer's family , by being cut off from asso ciation so much of the time , are loft to brood over their own thoughts and their real or Imaginary troubles till despondency is suc ceeded by hypochondria , nnd that in turn by Insanity. There seems to bo a great deal of foreo In Mr. Andrews' generalization. It certainly IB a topic of great interest in Iowa and can well awaken a prolltahlo discussion. Whlln on tlii'subji'rt of statistic * it is inter esting to note that this , 1'ollc county. Is the banner county In the number of divorces granted in the last twenty years. Special in vestigations have bi'nii carried on under the direction of Commissioner Wright , of the na tional bureau of statistics. Those show that In lubuquo county , for instance , there have been but 300 divorces granted during twenty years , or a number relatively small. In lilack Iluwk county , a county containing no large city. ! 1M were granted during this time. But In 1'olk county the cllvomu mill has ground a larger grist , for the number has reached T''i ) . Tlio worlc was not carried to completion , only ilrty-oiio counties having been canvassed , owing to n lack of suftlcicnt appropriation to carry on the inquiry. When the losulta are all tabulated they will form Rome very interesting statistics upon which to make an argument , point a moral or adorn a tale. Carroll , u ploasunt llttlo town in the county of that iianii' , 1ms been trying for a few weeks to attract attention to itself by adver tising u haunted house ) . The inmates of that dwelling insist that n ghost is In the habit of visiting tliom on cloudy or moonless nights , accompanying the appuur.muo with tornhlu cilcs uinl groans. The spook , as usually Identified , emerges from nb.isoiwnt window , goes to u iiurUfttlar spot In the garden and slowly ilisjpnears. As near as could bo rec- \ ogni/ed the ghostly visitor seemed to rosom- bio the form of n woman dressed in the com ments of tlio tomb. It begins to look as if Can oil has become Jealous of Hello I'luino with its big well and JolU'i-.sou with its nat ural gas , nnd was determined to have a curi osity of itsulf The society for prj oienl research U respectfully invited to turn its attention to Curroll. Seine thnu ago General Weaver tried to create a sensation in congress by asserting that nearly all the farms of Jowa wcro cov ered over with mortgages. It was stated that the people of this state were carrying mortgages on their farms to the amount of S.Ti ( > , < X > 0,000. A little Investigation of olliolal figures at the sl.Ho house showed how udicu- lous and untrue was the asscition. Tlio entire value of all the real estate , including farm and uity property , in Iowa Is loss than the alleged amount of the mortgages upon it. lushed of tlioro being MIO.OUO.iMX ) of farm mortgages it is estimated that there is not inor.1 than ono-tcnth of that amount at u liberal - oral allowance. AMOUMNG UljA/.IO , A Small Tenement Ilouso Totally De stroyed. A small tenement house Just noitli of the Swedish church , on tlio corner of Nineteenth and C.iss streets , was destroyed by flro yes terday morning shortly after 7 o'clock. The house was a story nnd a half double frame building , and was the property of the church. The south part of the building , No. 500 Nineteenth street , was occupied by MUs Gustavo Jensen , who kept boarders anil routed rooms in tlio second story of tha building. The llro was discov ered in the roof and ceiling of this part of the house by Miss Tillio Vyfolo \ lives wn'ie. nrt liOVS out of work to CRll la the north part of the house. She was on lior way down to her work when she saw the flames bursting out of tlio roof. She gave the alarm nt once and a depart ment alarm won turned In , but by some mis take Ilia department made the run to Cum- mlngg street , and before the inistako was discovered the ( lames had made unh head way in the old timbers of the buildIng - Ing that no further attempt was made to save the building Rnd the people who hnd collected about the plnco devoted tholr energy to saving the furnlturo of the building. The property of the four young mon who wcro rooming In the second story was almost entirely lost. Tlio greater amount of the goods In the first floor was saved but was very badly damaged and broken tip. The loss to goods nnd furniture In that part of the building will roneh about f'JOU. ' Airs. Johnson had her property Insured for $100.The The north part of the house. No. fill , was ocuunlod by J. W. FyfoMiss Tillio Fyfo and nnd Miss lintcllff , who roomoil on the first tloor , and Mr. Ira 1'ickctt , his sister and Miss .Icnnio Dillon , who had rooms on the second floor. All the goods belonging to the folks occupying the llrst floor were in a flro saved condition. The loss will hardly roach $100 the folks who roomed on the second floor were not able to save anything. Their loss will bo between $300 and * 100. Ttio loss to the building Is but very slight as It was the Intention of the members of the church to remove It and erect u new building in Its place. There Is no means of discovering how the flro originated , ns there was no ( Ire In any of the rooms nnd the lire had died out in the kitchen steve , Thcro was no Insurance on the building. The flro department met with a brace of very serious accidents while making the run to the Nineteenth street flro this morning. Tlio extra wagon belonging to hook and ladder company No. 1 was upset wlnlo rounding the corner of Fourteenth and Dav enport streets , nud the seven firemen aboard were forcibly dashed into the gutter and against the curbing. All were more or less Injured , "Spud" Farrish being the greatest sulTcrer. Ho sustained a fracture of ono of the small bones in liis loft wrist , besides a dislocated knco-cup ami nu merous bruises and contusions. lie was ta ken to No. 3 nud a physician called to attend to his hurts. Driver Dwyer suffered n badly smashed knee cap nnd some pain ful scratches ; .loo Louk numerous bruises , nnd .Too Marvin a sprained hip. Harrison risen Miller received several ugly cuts about the face , whllo Captain 13urdish had his cheek badly lacerated and one eye painfully Injured. Frank Karasok was generally bruised nnd shaken up. No blame is at tached to the driver or any of the crew , the cumbersome vohielo simply getting unbal anced hi rapidly going aiouud the corner and upsetting. The other ncccidcnt happened the chemical engine , also en route for this llro. In the neighborhood of Sixteenth mid Cnss the nxlo brok off square up to the wheel , and the machine came to the ground with a sud den bump , which partially throw her over , nnd throw the incti into the street. John Sidoner , the driver , was cut and bruised about the legs , and his right hand badly gashed. Mike llanlou , Miku Huiiiion and Joe Murphy wcro also considerably bruised and scratched up.

The Union Pacific track extends north ward by the side of Cut-Off lake almost to the northwestern extremity of that sheet , its last extension having been to the mam moth dual icc-houso of Swift & Co. , at the point indicated. A short tlmo ago the company set its engineers to work to extend a now line northward from Locust street. This line was run through a number of enclosures upon which were several shanties and small cottages , and in some cases it was extended through the domiciles themselves. The stakes were laid and were followed by KOIIIO of the right-of- way agents of the company who served notice upon all the residents in the way to evacuate the ground , because , it was alleged to bo the property of the Union Pacific road. None of the occupautshowevcrlcft the place. Accordingly about seven of them were brought before Justice Wade , on action for forcible entry and de tention. One of the defendants showed that ho had held the ground for over a year , and in his case , the complaint was dismissed , because such action must bo brought before the expiration of a year. The suit will , therefore , have to be brought before the dis trict court. Several of the other defendants claimed that they had not had suflleient notification , nnd their cases were continued , while in n few , the point of the company was sustained , evi dence having been adduced that the ground in quiutlon w.is really the property of the company. The interested occupants of the ground , however , claim the land does not belong to that corporation , mid that they own it by having been residents upon the same for many years. A liKi : reporter , however , Investigated the matter this morning and found in conversa tion with Uyron Heed , A. J , Popploton and tlio division engineer of the Union Paclllo that the company owned the right of way fern n hundred feet along the west bank of Cut Off lake nnd that the track now laid was almost on the west line of the same , leaving the balance of the road way to extend toward and in many places into the laku. This territory was purchased from Uyron Reed , A. J. Poppleton , O. F. Davis mid Herman Kount/o. The part tin ough which the track is being straightened is the western boundary of a tract compris ing about , flfty acres , which is now covered with Cut Off lake , and which was bought from O. F. Davis for tMO un nno This would seem to Indicate that thcro is no hope for the residents on the shoie. of Cut Off liilto CM ept to get out of the way of the line or tuko n lease from the Union Pacillu.

A northern man who recently re turned from Texas , after living for some months near General Albert Sidney John&on's old plantation of China Grove , thirty miles from Houston , tells omo aimibing stories of the railway service in that portion of the Lone Star state , says an exchange. One road running out of Houbton possessed one locomotive and a single train of cars. The train would go to Houston one day and then would go to the other end of the line the next day. The train would run oil' the track occasionally , and then the passengers would have to hoard with the nearest planter for a few days , while the cars wore lifted back on the rails. There being but ono train of course col lisions were out of the question. Tlio conductor considered it a matter of only ordinary politeness to stop tlio train whenever a lady desired to gather a few wild lloword along the way. Though he aimed to be obliging , this conductor one day got himself thoroughly disliked by u lady who requested him to stop the train all night at a small station , whore she had some friends whom she wanted to visit for a few hours before going on to Houston. The conductor told her that Iho train would wait long enough to let her go and dine with her friend- ; but , as it was already four hours behind time , she would have to take all the other passengers to dine vtith her in order to keep them from making com plaint to the superintendent of the road. This proposition , however , was rejected by the lady , who rode on to Houston , nursing her wrath.
