         Visited March 30.
         
         The almshouse is about 1 1/2 miles from Wheaton, on a
       good farm. The building is substantial and is kept in
       excellent order, has been enlarged and improved during
       the year. The farm and stock show that a competent farmer
       is in charge. There were present at the date of visit 16
       male and 4 female inmates, of whom 1 woman was insane
       and 1 imbecile. There were no children.
