In the old Colorado liouso on Broadway ,
between Bovantb nnd Ult-nth streets , Is
located a don that , if nil accounts nro true ,
should bo closed Immediately by the police.
About two months ago the house was
rented by ex-Ulty Poll Tax Collector A.
J. McClarcn , xvhs opened 11 saloon
In the front room on the ground
lloor , where for years 11 dnnlclnir
shop has been maintained to accommo.lato
the trade of ubout the toughest cliiss of
Council Uluffs rnkes. With the revival of
the saloon returned Hourly all thu old h ant ;
ers-on , the result being Hint witbm a wee
after McOlaren took hold the pollco were
frequently in receipts of requests to close tlio
place.
It was thought at llrst that the plnco xvas
nothing uioro than : i fourth-rato drlnkln ?
house and the pollco paid but , llttlo attention
to It , Diit recent developments po to snow
thiit the den Is still more danirerous tban a
saloon It maintains an opium Joint ; a room
In the front of the second story
of the building , where those who have a
doslro can ' 'hit" the plpeand enjoy its deadly
hut temporarily oxhlluratlng effects without
fear of Ofinv molested. This branch of the
den Is said in bo tindur the personal ehnrpo
of George Sutler , a character well known to
the police.
A man who has held various positions of
trust In the pollco and marshal's department
and who has boon ono of Sheriff O'Neill's
deputies Is authority for the statement that
the Joint really exists and that It Is not only
patronized by woman of tbo town but by
many so-called respectable women whoso
names It published would sturtle the
community. Ho states that ho visited
the place ono night not Ion ? 111:0
In company with a certain member of the
pollco fprco who holds down a beaten tbo
dav shift. Ho was shown by Sutler a com-
Dloto "layout , " among which wcro six or
eight pipes. Accordlne to hit story tbo
policeman smoked himself to sleep and re
mained under the influence of the arup , In
the don , all night. Ho refused to smoke and
left the place disgusted with Its surround

It was in this bolo that Ihu cocking mam

.Superintendent l/ewcllcn Greatly En-
cournued l > y the Prospects.
Dr. P. W. Lowollen , superintendent of'tho
Town hospital for the Insane in Clannda ,
was in the city yesterday , ctuoute homo
from Lincoln , Neb. , where , last weok.
bo attended the quarterly mooting of
tbo Medical society of the Missouri
Valley , of which organization ho is o
prominent member. While in the 1luffs !
Superintendent Lowellon gnvo Tin : Ben
some interesting information concerning his
asylum , It being all the more v&luabla to the
people of wobtcrn Iowa on account of the in
stitution's infancy , its marvelous growth ,
and its great strides to the front among char
itable Institutions of a similar character In
lo.va.
The asylum opened for patients Docornber
li ! , 1S8S , nt which time there were receiveu
from the hospital in Independence nlnotv Incurable -
curable and state patlnnts , all males. Then
on December 13 of the same year a
chnrgo of 12-5 patients of the same
class was received from the mammoth
Institution In Mount Pleasant which is the
oldest and most prominent In tno state. The
Mount Pleasant consignment was also mada
up of incurable and pauper male patients , so
that Superintendent Lewellen found himself
starting out in the management of his infant
institution with a euro that was fur creator
tban bo bad anticipated. But 119
was not discouraged by this , and
with the aid of willing and
able assistants he succeeded within a month
In having the hospital in such splendid workIng -
Ing order that all visitors were welcome to
inspect It from cellar to garret.
Ever since the opening of tbo Clarlnda
hospital Its district as provided bv law has
consisted of all the counties in southwestern
Iowa , Including the county of Polk , contain
ing Des Molnos. The district being so largo
It was not long baforo the six small wards
which comprised the only section of tbo
hospital , woto crowded to overflow
ing \\ith patients. The superintendent
sought relief from the legislature , but tbo
demands of the other two institutions of
tno fatato wcro so much greater
that Dr. Lewollon wis forced
to give up tbo Idea of enlarging the male de
partment and look to the building at a female
wing in order to relieve the distnvssod condi
tion of Independence and Mount Pleasant.
Two years ago the general assembly ap
propriated to this institution 108,400. ( Jut
of this appropriation the female- department
had to bo built and furnished and all other
contemplated Improvements , such as follow
the opening of Institutions of this character ,
nmdo. Woric was Immediately commenc
ed on tbo female department , nnd so
rapidly busjt been pushed that by January
1 , IblU , .several waids will bo ready for oc
cupancy nnd not later tban Apt 11 1 of next
year the entire wing will bo open for the re
ception of female patients who nra to bo
brought from the other two institutions of
the state , which arc both so overcrowded.
The superintendent says the appropria
tion sot nsldo for furnishing the new
wing was originally cut In two , und
the result Is that what remained was used
In the erection of the wing , HO that before It
can bo furnished an additional appropriation
must bo asltod for. When this wing Is
occupied the number of patients to bo cared
for will exceed 0(10. ( The original plans
of the asylum call for two moro
sections ono to bo added to the maio ,
and the other to tbo female de
partment of the hospital , The superintend
ent hopes that tbo next legislature will make
him a liberal appropriation so that If noth
ing moro U dona ho can nt least com
mence carrying out the plan * nnd thus
take step * toward the ilnal completion
of the Institution. To commence this work ,
and nt the same time not neglect thu
asylum's yearly needs and the other
improvements. Dr. Lowellon says that at
least 5300,000 will bo needed , and $ > 0,00l )
Mould not bo too much ,
The superintendent says that the out
buildings'of the hospital &ro In poor condition
and only temporary , pending the appropria
tion of moro money from the state
for substantial structures such as are
sorely needed. The institution has not
as yet a chapel iiorun amusement hall , nor'aro
there suitable quarters for tbo employes of
tbo Institution. Tbo laundry must bo en
larged to double Its present capacity In
order to do tbo work when the female
wlnir it occupied , nnd barns and
itoro bullaliiRs uro badly needed. The Hvn
stock has no shelter now other than that
given It by straw-top ibeds , and much of the
farm product Is rotting away nnd going 10
wtisto every year owing to the lack of a bet
ter plaoQ to store It than caves dug Into iho
earth.
While tbo Clariuda hospital Is in a magnifi
cent condition in every respect , considering
the length of time It has boon opon. the superintendent -
perintendont says ho sees many wnjs
for Improvement , of which advantage
must bo taken by the state at
the earliest convenient date. Hs thinks
that when the needs of tbo Clarlndu hospital
are laid before the approaching legislature
it will t > co the necessity of immo.lUto action
nnd malio an unusually liberal appropriation.

Senator 1'cffer said ho bnd no mcnns of
knowing who would be his now colleague In
the sennit- , but ho could tell of n numOor of
gentlemen who would bo mentioned for Iho
vacancy. Among thorn were GuorRO H. Peck ,
Georco T. Antnony , ox-Governor Osborn ,
ox-Governor Crawford , Mr. Burton nnd
others. All of them were , ho suld , very pop
ular men , nnd any ono of thorn would make a

galls would cook the appointment.

Senator Plumb WIIH Admired by It'in-
snnof Kvcry I'o'itloal Faith.
Toi'CKKan. . , Doc. 20. The news of the
death of Senator Plumb wus a great shock
to his friends In Kansas. No ono know that
ho had been nlllng , and the vigorous cam
paign ho mndo last fall in the interests of his
party scorned to bo convincing proof that his
robust constitution was In the boat of con
dition.
When the campaign opened last fall the re
publican party In Kansas was In sere
straits. The fall before it had lost every
thing to ttio farmers alliunco a sent In the
United States sonatc , six out of soyon seats
in the liouso , all but governor and lieutenant
governor on the state ticket , and most of the
county ofllcos. The f aimers practically con
trolled the stnto when the last
campaign opened. Senator Plumb ,
while 1m vi n K no direct personal
Interest at stakein the election , weiit Into
the campaign with a vigor nnd enthusiasm
charucterislic of wbalovcr ho undertook. Ho
stumped the state from ono end to the other ,
being obliged to undergo all the fatigues of a
country campaign. HU work Is generally
credited as bavin ; bocn Iho prlmo cnuso of
the overwhelming adfcat of the alliunco and
tlio republican victory.
When the senator loft Kansas for Wash
ington ho was certainly In the uoat ot spirits ,
and seemed to bo in the best of health. The
announcement of his death was , therefore , a
gro.it shock. It is no exaggeration to sny
that Mr. Plumb was the most popular man
In Kansas. Ho was the Idol of his own party
and was highly regarded by his political
opponents. As a man , ho had the respect
and admiration of all Kansans without ro-
gtird to political beliefs.
Governor Humphrey Interviewed.
The Kansas luw provides that in the ovcnt
of the ooath of a senator tbo vacancy shall
bo filled by the governor's appointment until
the next meeting of the legislature. The
next legislature does not meet until u year
from now.
Governor Humphrey was soon by n
representative of the Associated press
this afternoon. Ho hail already
boon notiilcd of Senator Plumb's death
by a private dispatch. Ho was greatly
shoclced tit the nowa , so much so , ho said ,
that bo had given no thought as to the sena
tor's ' successor. Ha would , of cour o , make
an appointment to fill the vacancy , but ho
had not considered any Individual. The va
cancy tnlcht bo filled at a special meeting of
tbo legislature , bat in view of the facts that
the piosont legislature Is under control of thn
farmers alliance , nud that the executive Is
republican such u conr&o Is out of considera
tion. The name of ex-Senator Ing.ills is al
ready prominently mentioned by tbo poli
ticians , ho Inivlng been tbo nominee of the
party caucus at the tuna Senator Poffor was
olcctod. In fact no other name has received
any mention nt all.
The fact that the torrn of tl'O ' nppolntoo
expires when the next legislature con
venes wilt make the next election in
Kansas particularly interesting , for the leg
islature elected then will tmvii the naming
of n senator. The farmers alliunco , while
having suffered defeat at tno lust election , is
In no wise discouraged , and they have main
tained their organization nnd appear as vig
orous as over. Thov will now doubtless

Plumb visited Dr. William Popper of this
city on Friday last for tbo purpose of obtain
ing the opinion of that well known physician
as to his condition. Senator Plumb bad
written lo Dr. Puppcr that bo was troubled
with dl/jlncss , and Friday's consultation
was the result of the correspondence thul
followed.
Dr. Popper tonight said , with reference to
Us ! examination of the senator : "I found
bonator Plumb suffering from serious Injury
to tbo brain , duo to overwork. 1'ho root of
the right optlo nerve was affected In such a
muniicr that ono-hnlfof each eye was en
tirely blind. There was no raaion
to hope for any Immediate Improve
ment , and on the other hand there
wni no reason to expect iinmudluto serious
results. The bunaior's condition was duo
almost entirely to overwork during tlio hut
campaign. "
bonator Plumb remained hero Friday
night nnd loft for Washington Saturday
uftornoon. In conversation with a reporter
before dnuartlng ho pooh.pnobod the idea that
