The fourth blannlal report of the hosnltal
for the Insane at Independence has been tiled
with tbo governor. Tbo administration of
ttio superintendent , Dr. Gerstmtn II. Hill , is
strongly commended by the trustees. The
report of the superintendent Is very com-
iiloto and shows tfmt at ttio beginning of tlio
biennial period there- wore if'Jii male and
: iTU fonmlo patients , n total of 770. During
the period thorc were admitted ; i'J8 male and
is' ) female patients , a total of 017 , making
tbo whole number treated in the two years ,
1'iW. Ot this number SI I recovered and worn
discharged , 101 Improved and ! il ! unimproved
were dischareod and 140 died , The avcraeo
dally number in attendance and receiving
treatment during thu period was 810 , and
thcro were on .Juno . ' 10 last 1 1 males and 3S'J '
females , total 8KI ! , a not Increase In tbo two
years of 07. The superintendent estimates
thai the natural Increase is 1UO per biennial
period. Tbo capacity.of the hospital is 800 ,
showing It Is now somewhat overcrowded.
On the subject of the curability of
Insanity , Dr. Hill says : "Persons who lese
their reason before 15 years of ago , and before -
fore the brain Is fully developed , are not
likely to bo restored ; on the other hand per
sons becoming clcrnncod for the first time
nfter 00 years of ago ao not of ten make a
complete recovery. Those who naturally
have vigorous bodies and well balanced
minds nro moro likely to bo cured than in
valids or imbeciles. Recovery Is moro likely
to follow Uio lirst than tbo second attack ;
each time the prospect becomes poorer.
Furthermore , the question of recovery do-
pomls upon the length of time the mind has
been affected. Cases of melancholia or
Blmplo mania nro the most promising , while
these of monomania , general paresis , epilep
tic Insanity and dementia nro not likely to
recover. The prospect of euro also depends
somewhat on the judicious management of
the case , and not u llttlo upon a fair prospect
fnr usefulness , comfort and happiness is
one's ' future life , "
The report brings Into prominence one
thing In msunlty statistics , that is the much
greater percentage of Insane parsons among
the foreign than the native born population.
In the years of the Institution the total
number of patients has boon 5,01-4 , of which
3,078 ivero uativo born and 1,930 foreign
born. This shows that the foreign born
approximate two-fifths of the patients , while
they form less than one-sixth of the popula
tion ,
The euro and treatment of patients at the
hospital has averaged ? l.2i ! ) ! per month or
44 cent * per day. With this ovorythlngls

The discovery of n very successful bono Is
duo to the forced Ingenuity of n very unsuc

n dull case knife , and having -whetstone ,
Mother Necessity gave birth to the suggcs

Ills shoe as n hone , and was sut prised to llnd
how well It answered the purpose. Ells ut
tempt nt throat cutting was thwarted , not-
uowovor , by the dullness of the knife , but
by the Interference of friends. Otherwise
ills discovery might have died with him and
this bit of practical wisdom forjvcr lost to n
multitude of boneless people.
The soles of old shoes nrn put to other
novel uses besides that of sharpening Unlvoi.
In and about thu Bluffs , whcro tbo grades ot
roads are heavy , brakes become u necessity
for wagons , and especially heavy teaming
and dirt hauling. Ono ingenious dirt hauler
has discovered that the solos of old boots or
shoes niako the very best kind of blocKs.
They do not grow glassy and slip as do the
wooden blocKs , they can bo bad without coat ,
uid tboy last much longer than any other
kind. This claim of durability Is not based
on any torturing pun about a shoo being
inado on "tho last , " but as an assertion matin
In truth and soberness.
Talking of knives , there is jnst iiowa
charitable sort of fad among the ladies of
Council Bluffs in regard to kitchen knives.
It started tbuswiso :
The wife of ono ot Omaha's ' prominent
physicians came over to the Bluffs ono even
ing to attcnd.a social gathering1. She brought
with her a bundle of bomc-mado knives and
a story of want and .suffering. The hero of
the story Is an old man , who had worked for
years in the cutlery shops of Enclaud , and
who now inlirm and aged , is trying to win
the bare necessities of lifo by imxKlng and
selling knives niado from files. Tbo heroine
of the story is tUo aped wife , who Is joining
in the struggle to keep from driftIng -
Ing Into the poorhouse. The old
couple live In a very meagre way
in Omaha , and the doctor's wife having
tier sympathies aroused not only supplied
lioriolf , but secured numerous sales among
lier aristocratic friends. Silks and satins
gathered about the queer exhibit of cutlery ,
as displayed in the parlors of n fashionable
Council Bluffs residence. Jeweled lingers
daintily picked out knives for peeling pota
toes , for slicing bread , for cutting chicken
legs , and generous prices were quickly paid.
The maids in tbo kitchen are delighted , and
.loclare no such Isnlves were over before to be
liad always sharp , always stout. The old
knife maker and his wife have been helped
by the true charity , which beginning at home ,
does not stay there , and which tirlps the poor
man to help himself , Instead of demanding
of him his independence us the price of the
loaf of bread.
"I heard of their homo made Itnlvos , " re
marked Sheriff O'N oil. "I didn't know tmit
Omaha had cuttlory works of any sort , but
when I heard of tboso knives 1 rustled about
to got some for the jail. You know it is
almost , impossible to got kitchen knives to
answer the purpose. Cutting bread will dull
a knifi ) faster than whittling cordwood. VVo
havn lots of broad to cut and it is a great
bother to keep tbo knives sharp. I got thrco
of tbo old man and paid } > for them , and
they're worth it. They're not handsome , but.
O , my ! tboy makn up in keenness what they
lack in beauty. "
*
"Yea , I beliavo inthat sort of charity , "
said Billy Arndt of the Savings banK. "Jf
folks only show some' disposition to help
themselves it is easy onoueh to got others to
help then : , but those chronic professional
beggars I've got no use for them. Wo get
moro calls from thorn than most pcoplo do ,
because they know that a bank has money
and the easy excuse of "got no change" don't
work with us as it does with a good many
others. You know that old woman that has
been begging around Council Bluffs for
several days pastl She tells a pitiable story
and being gray-hairod and having her hand
done up in a roc she gets lots of sympathy
and nickels. She's a regular ono , though.
The ether day she cumo into the bank und
wanted to know it I'd give her a ten-dollar
bill for some change. 1 told her
yes , and she counted out nickles
and dimes and silver to tbo extent of i'J.'JO. '
Then she wanted me to give her the other
clime so as to make the oven $10. She said
the $10 bill was easier for her to carry. It
wasn't three days before she came in again
to got another big bill in place of the change
she bad gathered up. She wus doing well
and I warrant you that she's got a bank
account soniowboroor , u good deposit lu some
old stocking.
Prom begging to banking Is quite a jump ,
but in thcso uncertain financial times it Is
not so fur from banking to begging. "Talk-
Ing about bunking , " romanced ono of tbo
bank clerks , "it is strange how eager some
folks nro to Keep a bank account , when they
haven't anything in the world to keep It with.
I know clerks who get such a small salary
that they can hardly meet living oxponos ,
mul yet thov deposit their wages once a
month and they pay It all out In little checks ,
thus making the bank furnish them station
iary mid iccop their accounts for thorn. For
three or ' four days in a month they
may have a llttlo balance in the bank ,
lint the rest of the time they haven't a cent.
I'lioy often attempt to overdraw too , and
sometimes succeed in getting into tbo bunk
for a few dollars. I never saw such a place
us Council Bluffs for this sort of business.
The banks ought to have independence
enough to shut outsuch accounts , and lulvlso
such deposttois to use u'savings a bank. I
know ot one man , for instance , who has JO.-3
deposited in ono bank In tbU city , and ono
day wanting to have a little pocket money ho
stopped iu und drew Ills chock for .10 cents
and got It cashed. It scorns that tbo most
such follows is to bo been doing business iu
u bank. The banks ought not to bother with
htich accounts , ana such men ought to pay
thieir bills In cash , and then If they had any
th ng loft from their wages they could put It
In a savings bank und let it stay tbero.
# *
There's at least ono salaried man In Coun
cil Bluffs who does not indulge- the luxury
ot having a bunk keep account of tbo spend
ing of his wages. He bus u novel method.
Instead of currying n check book in bis
pocket , bo carries a receipt book. It Is an
ordinary little book of blank receipts , such
as can bo secured ut any stationer's. When
he gets bis monthly pay ho bturis on the
rounds to pay nls grocery man , his butcher ,
his landlord , ete Everyone to whom
he pays any money . Is called upon to
make out and sign ono of tbo receipts in this
little book. Instead ot having u scattered
Utter of different sized receipts und bills , bo
has them thus all bound mid in convenient ,
permanent form for reference , Ai.uny lime
bo can look buck throug his llttlo receipt
book und Joe just when , to whom utul how
much money ho paid out. He cannot very
well got ( intent on his system of keeping uc-
counts , but the bunks should pity bun u
royalty if others adopt the mothou ,

One of Council Blufts1 businessmen who
came hero from the east relates nn exper
ience which may iirovo vuiuabio i ,
goittvcnesf to othersitlian those directly con
cerned. "When I first entertained the idea
of coming to CouncIUBluffs I naturally look
ed UP the standing oMbo men with whom 1
wns holding communication In regard to the
matter , nnd with wUom 1 expected to bo as
sociated In Innlncssji 1 found that Brad *
street quoted them nl.about fW.OOt ) each , but
I was not content with that , and so asked fern
n detailed report. Thadetailed report showed
fully as favorably jlor those gentlemen ex
cept that It showed that each had n mortgage
on tils homo. That esettlcd mo. My eastern
business education was such that a mort
gage on the home-stead Indicated to mo the
severest kind ot tlmiucinl distress. Eastern
pcoplo feel about the f sumo about n mortgage
on the homestead asvwostern folks do about a
chattel mortgage on the furniture. In the
east a man is not considered of much ac
count financially If his homo Isn't clear
When I found that the mnn with whom 1 was
negotiating hudn't oven their homos clear , I
concluded thut tbo commercial ratings bud
been inflated , and I about made up my mind
not to have anything to do with
tnom. The matter would have doubt
less dropped them , but by chnnco a
friend of mine happened to remark
that he know n prominent man In Council
Bluffs who would toll him tbo truth about the
standing of these parties. Ho accordingly
wrote to Horace Gverott nnd learned from
htm to my satisfaction that tbo men were all
right Mminclully , oven If they did have their
homes mortgaged. It was this letter and the
standing of Mr. Kverctt that caused mo to
dccldo In favor of Council BlulTs , although
my prejudice nt-aliist mortgaged homes was
not overcome by any means. A.f tor 1 settler !
hero und became better acquainted , 1 ono day
told these men about it and advised them
that If tboy wanted to maintain n high credit
in the cast they had bettor pay off tbo mort
gages on their homes nnd told thorn why.
They seemed surprised , but saw saw the
point and nt once paid off tbo mortgages and
had their homos clear. One of them had to
pay quite a little premium to got his homo
released , but lie did it. it had never occurred
to thcso western men tbat there was such u
difference of sentiment between tbo east and
the west In regard to such mortgages. They
simply felt that thep could use the money to
much better advantage In their business
that they could bettor afford to pay Interest.1

"Ono of the greatest differences between
the east and tbo west. " says a veteran con
ductor , "is in regard to talking with
.strangers , The Missouri river is the dividing
line in regard to talk. The very minute pas
sengers cot east ot' Omahu and Council Blulfs
they freeze each other. Strangers nro
strangers , ana they grow moro so until they
reach the coast. The difference is just as
marked the other way. "Passengers who
would not dnru to speak oT bo spoken to , quit
playing clams as soon ns they roach the west
end of the Union Pacific bridge. From that
point on , clear to the setting sun , the tongues
get nimulor and nimbler. You can ask any
man for his past experiences , present icel-
ings nnd future expectations , and he will
give up every detail with u smile. Uut got
oven a little ways east , and if you nsk n man
the tlmo of day ho will looit at you as if ho
was surd you intended to snatch his wutch.
Yes , the Missouri river is the line of loquac
ity. "
