The food served in the state prison is of such
a good quality that many outside the prison walls
would be glad to have such. Also an abundance
OF it is supplied. No wonder the prisoners ar
healthy.
The health at the prison was never better than
at present, the few sick having nothing serious.
Since the fire they have been particularly free
from any disease. The new hospital department
will be frst-class.

boz The steamer Luela yesterday discharged and
took on freight at the levee. She is the first
boat that has done SO and found the landing
good, but the levee is so hampered up with wood
and other materials that it makes it rather diff
cult to reach the landing. II the city owns the
property they should see that it is put into con-
dition to be used by the public, and put to its
legitimate use.
The new portion of the state prison is advanc-
ing rapidly. The cell room has got up four rows
Of cells, and only one more in height will be
erected. The cells are large and we'll ventilated.
The front to the new portion is showing some
excellent workmanship, and will be an ornament
well worthy of the inspection by visitors to the
prison.. A window nineteen feet in height is over
the main entrance.
Yesterday morning the cupolo attender at the
prison was on the inside at work. A boy who
was attending the fire, not knowing that any one
was inside, went TO put the smouldering fire out,
for which purpose he threw large quantity of
water en- the fire, causing heavy steam to arise.
This forced Mr.. Andrew, the attender, out, and
he got pretty badly scalded about the ankles and
had 10 quit work. There is nothing serious in
his INJURIES although they are painful.
The attendance at the camp at Lake Calhoun,
of the S. NJ. n. G., is not large, but to-day com
pany K. of Saltwater, will be somewhat in
creased The members there during the week
show q large preponderance of officers. If men
belong to the national guards they should attend
to the duties devolving upon them, and when
camp life s ordered they should 90 out and put
in their drill faithfully. There is far too much
playing at soldering
Mahtomedi will this week divide the honors
