INSANE IS STILL IN AN OVER
CROWDED CONDITION-MORE
MONEY IS NEEDED.
Governor Candler has received the an
nual report of the board of trustees of the
state sanitarium at Milledgeville. The re
port this year is a very interesting one.
larger appropriations are asked for by
the board for the neat two years, $340,000
wanted in 1903. and $360,000 for 1004.
According to the report, the condition of
the asylum is still crowded, and there are
on file for admission at present 282 ap
plications for white people and IOS for
colored. It is estimated that it. costs 30
cents per day to care for each of the in
mates.
The following table shows the number of
patients that have been in the asylum

The board deprecates the necessity of
turning out of the asylum the h-'.nnless
but Incurable lunatics, but owing to the
crowded condition of asylum, it is neces
sary to do this.
Speaking of this class of lunatics, the
board says:
"Each one of them is a powder magazine
likely to explode at any moment and
murder or burn as their insane Impulses
may suggest. The discharge of Ahls class
of patients is but a temporary expedient,
for sooner or later all of them must be
returned to this institution for the rea
son that not one county in our state Is
properly equipped for just and humane
care of insane persons. If returned to
to their homes these insane persons are a
constant menace to their families: if com
mitted to poor houses they will suffer
from cruelty and wrongs incident to lack
of experienced supervision and control.
"We fully appreciate the force of the
statement of Superintendent Powell on
the subject of receiving imbeciles, idiots
and epileptics in this institution, and if
all the counties in Georgia could be In
duced to operate county hospitals for
fare of these classes we would probably
approve the proposition to exclude them
. from this institution. But the counties of
Georgia have no such institutions and
s tn our opinion none of them have made
• suitable provision for humane care of
■ these classes of the Insane. A condi
tion. not a theory, confronts us. We
must meet the condition. The legislature
must meet it. We believe that the mem
bers of the legislature will agree with us
that the time to throw these unfortunates
upon the charity of their respective coun
ties will be when the counties have made
, provision for their proper care. In its
last analysis the counties care for these
• classes in this institution for the reason
that this charity is supported from taxes
paid by all counties in Georgia."
Regarding the convict insane the board
• says:
**We again call attention of the general
assembly to this subject. We heartily
concur in the opinion of Superintendent
Powell when he claims that it is an out
rage to force the ordinary insane citi
zens of our state, in consequence of th&ir
misfortune, to associate with criminals.
We beg the legislature to protect our
unfortunate, innocent wards from this
cruel injustice.
"The board of trustees take great pleas
ure in commending its entire present
corps of officers for the zeal, faithfulness
and ability with which every one of them
• has discharged his duty during the year
• just closed.
i "The training schools in this institution,
one for white and one for colored nurses,
have been successfully operated during
the past year. Great good must result
from training the nurses of the institu*
tion into a technical knowledge of the
duties of their vocation."
The board of trustees consists of Eu

ton. D. C.. where, it is understood, she
will press her claim for the frown lands.
Her suite will be the same as last year
and she will make stops at Salt Lake

What the ex-queen's attitude is toward
the candidates for delegates to congress
Is uncertain. She has great influence
with the natives, and if she gives advice
to vote for Wilcox or Prince Cupid, it will
practically mean the election of the one
she favors. Prince Cupid, who is her
favorite nephew, is the Republican candi
date. In a speech this week he denied
that the ex-queen favored Wilcox.
Prince Cupid said he told his aunt that
the beet interests of the
success of the Republican party and she
told him to go ahead and make the fight
as a Republican. The ex-queen will not
talk on the subject and she claims to be
strictly neutral, but * her confidential
tgent. J. O. Carter, has come out in favor
f Wilcox.
FROM BUMS
AERONAUTS
PLUNGE
BRADSKY AND HIS COMPANION
ARE KILLEDJN PARIS BY THE
COLLAPSE OF DIRIGIBLE
BALLOON TODAY.
PARTS. Oct. 11.—De Bradsky. the aero
naut. and a companion were killed by fall
ing from a dirigible balloon today.
The balloon started from the aerostat
ic station at Vaugtriard. a suburb of this
city, at 7:55 a. m. on a trial tr\p. After
preliminary maneuvering with a rope at
tachment, De Bradsky released the balloon
and proceeded southward at a height of
300 or 400 feet.
The propellers of the machine appeared
to work well. The rudder, however, was
not quite successful. At about 9:20 the
balloon had returned to above the point
of departure and then It gradually mount
ed higher and higher until it disappeared
tn the clouds.
The prefect of police later received a
dispatch announcing the fall of the bal
loon near St. Denis, five and a half miles
from the center of Paris.
The accident occurred about 9:30. When
the balloon was above St. A ins. near St.
Denis, the ropes attaching the car <o the
balloon broke from some unknown caus
and the car, with its occupants. De Brad
sky and his companion, were dashed tc
the # ground. The balloon itself disap
peared in the clouds.
Ropes Snapped Like Thread.
When the balloon arrived over St. Ains,
the aeronauts call d to some worxmen in
the fields, asking the direction of Pantin.
De Bradsky and Morin were seen moving
about the car. Suddenly one of tne wire
ropes broke ar\d then another gave way
and the car. weighing 880 pounds, crashed
to the ground, burying the aeranauts be
neath it. They were crushed, their kgs
were broken ana ,aeir faces bloody, but
were not disfigured. The bodies were tak
en to St. Dennis.
De Bradsky was ready to ascend early
last week, but postponed the attempt on
account of the windy weather.
Description of the Balloon.
• The balloon in which ■he ascended to
day was an improvement on his original
design, its size being increased as It was
found inadequate to carry the weight in
tended. and this entailed lengtnening the
car. arranging uie suspension wires and
other changes.
It was in the form of a cylinder, ending
in a cone 25 feet long in front and 12 feet
long behind, the same length as the Santo
Dumont air ship which won the Deutsch
prize, though its volume was larger be
cause the length of the cylindrical part
was longer. The balloon proper contained
2.7R9 cubic feet. The frame was 70 feet
long and was made of steel tubes.
It carried a car 16 feet long, suspended
10 feet below the envelope of the balloon,
which guarded it against risk of Are from
the 16 horse power petroleum motor. The
frame weighed 300 pounds.
The air ship was propelled by a screw 12
feet in diameter and had a rudder with
a surface of five square yards. A notable
feature was a sail apparatus consisting of
wings, made of light canvas. 36 feet long
and five feet wide, fixed to the right and
left of the envelope, giving it the appear
ance of an enormous aeroplane and in
tended to enable the air ship to sail about
or descend slowly in case the motor
stopped.
ANTELOPE TAKES ft
PICTURE OF
EDWARDS
THE PHOTOGRAPHER WAS POS-
ING THE HERD AT GRANT
PARK WHEN TAME BUCK
. PRESSED BUTTON.
•r»t Grant park yesterday morning Ed
wards. the photographer, set up his came
ra in the deer paddock to get a view of
the antelope herd, but through a combina
tion of unique circumstances he had his
own picture taken instead by one of the
antlered bucks in the paddock.
The photographer was taking some
views of the animals for members of
the park commission. He had photograph
ed the bears and after adjusting his tripod
In the deer paddock had inserted a plate
and pointed the lens toward a comer
where a park attendant was trying to
make the antelope herd look pretty for
their picture. A fawn that had been train
ed to take food from an attendant's
hand approached the outfit and began
to sniff about the legs of the tripod. Ed
wards, fearing his outflt would be over
turned. dropped the little rubber bulb
from his hand and left It swinging near
the ground. Then he caught the fawn
about the neck and began to drag her
toward the corner where the other ani
mals were standing, moving directly In
front of the lens as he tugged at the un
willing captive.
While he was in this act a young buck
approached the camera unnoticed by the
photographer, -he animal sniffed about
the strange looking instrument a moment
and then caught sight of the little rubber
bulb swinging from the slender white
tube. He mistook It for an apple and
hit it. There was a click at the lens.
Edwards heard It and looked up in time
to see the antelope still chewing the bulb
"Darned if he ain’t took my picture
wrestling with the fawn!" he exclaimed.
He released the fawn and ran at the
buck.
"Back to your woods!” he yelled. “I
didn't set up that camera for you!”
The buck trotted away serenely while
President Moyers, of the park commis
sion. declared it was the finest and most
intelligent specimen of antelope In cap
tivity.
"No other park in the world has a buck
that can take pictures. ' he said.
An examination of the plate exposed
by the antelope showed the dim outlines
of the scene described. That the picture
was not clear enough to reproduce is due
to the fact that the lens was focussed for
a distance of about thirty feet, while
Edwards and the fawn were scarcely ten
feet from It when the buck snapped the
button.
Cases were made against both men and
they will be tried before Recorder Broyles
this afternoon.

Kidney trouble is responsible for more sickness and suffering than any other
disease, and if permitted to continue fatal results arc sure to follow. Kidney
trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable-.
Makes you pass water often during the day and obliges you to get up many
times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism, gravel, catarrh
of the bladder, pain or dull ache In the back, joints and muscles, makes your
head ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble, you
get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes you feel as though you had heart trou
ble: you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste
away.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood—that is their work. So when your kid
neys are weak or out of order you can understand how quickly your entire body
is affected, wd how every organ seems to fall to do its duty.
If you are sick or “feel badly," begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr.
Kilmer s Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all ,
the other organs to health. A tjial will convincL any one.

Co., Binghamton, N. -Y.. mentioning that you read this generous offer in The At
lanta Semi-Weekly Journal, when you will receive immediately free of all charge a

MR. J. A. FULLER.
Atlanta, Ga., March 8, 1902.
To tha Editor of The Atlanta Journal: I have decided for the first time to
give my testimonial, hoping thereby to benefit some one. Some time ago I be
came a physical wreck from kidney disease. I was under the care and treat
ment of two or three able physicians, and later, two different specialists, but
continued to get worse and decided that my case was incurable and tried to
resign myself to fate. -1 fell off in weight. I was so weak I could hardly walk.
The least mental exercise would almost prostrate me. 1 made up my mind to try
Dr. KiiWier's Swamp-Root. The first bottle gave me such relief that I continued
to use It until I had taken about six small bottles, when I considered myself
cured. I spent money for everything that promised relief but to find it worth
less, until aj last I got hold of Swamp-Root, and I cannot praise it high enough.
Hepirg you continued success, I am yours respectfully,
438 Derio Street, Atlanta, Ga.

FRUIT DEALER ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH FRAUD
VALDOSTA, Os., Oct. 13.—A telegram
received here today from Sheriff Pass
more states that he is on his way from
Pittsburg. Pa.-, with J. D. O'Brien. Jr., a
prominent broker of that city, charged
with a misdemeanor in this city on the
26th of June. Probably a half dozen other
cases of the same sort will confront him
upon his arrival here.
The warrant against O'Brien was sworn
out on the 25th of July and Sherfff Pass
more has made two trips to Pittsburg
after the prisoner. The first trip found
the broker in some of the far western
states. The sheriff then came home and
returned there by agreement with Pinker
ton detectives. Be was accompanied by
J. A. Dasher, Jr., who swore out the
warrant.
The case against O’Brien is the first of
the kind that ever sprung up here and
will be of interest throughout the fruit
belt. He is accused of acting in concert
with H. B. Butler, his agent on the road,
to defraud fruit and vegetable shippers.
He defrauded Dasher, it is charged, out
of about ten cars of canteloupes and oth
er parties here out of several cars. He
worked at Quit man, Jacksonville and oth
er places. His agent would give drafts
for the fruit or melons and these drafts
were invariably turned down, it is alleg
ed. The case has been worked up by So
licitor W. E. Thomas, who believes that
he will a strong case. In fact, he
feels confident of conviction. The case
will be tried in the city court this week.

more than two years with an aggravated case of kidney and bladder disease. I I
tried many advertised remedies, but fafiea to get relief. .J; • J
I could not sleep more than thirty or forty minutes at a time on account of

I bought one bottle, and experienced almost Instant relief. In fact, I rested well
from the very first dose, and now. after the use of six bottles, I am sound and well.

EAST ATLANTA, Ga.. March L 190 L ’
To the Editor of The Journal:
Gentlemen: While it has never been my habit or inclination to recommend
remedies the ingredients of which are not all known to me, it seems as if I should
make an exception in the case of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. My experience, so far
as I have tested it in my practice, forces me to the conclusion that it is a remedy of
the greatest value in all uric acid, kidney, liver, bladder and other inflammatory
conditions of the genito-urlnary tract. I now take pleasure in prescribing Swamp
| Root in all such cases with a feeling of assurance that my patients will derive
great benefit from its use. I shall continue to prescHbe it tn other cases in my prac
tice with the expectation of the best results. Very truly yours,
