THE RENORM soHoOL.


Minneapolis Messenger; Il was q
noble charity which prompted Kansas TO
found a school to reform bad boys-a
school witS discipline more rigid than
the ordinary, yet in no sense a prison.
A school where petty ofenses against
law and family government might be
expiated without crushing the offender
or attaching to him lasting disgrace.
A sort Of camping ground on the way to
the penitentiary, where the hoodlums
might be halted and gently restrained
and reasoned with, and turned back to
society and honest lives. II lie an old
adage that San ounce OF prevention
Is worth pound of cure !" Tue refom
school represents the proven
ton and the penitentIarY the
cure. The former Is as much
the more valuable institution as al
honest citizen is better than a convict.
The penitentiarY cannot be dispensed
with, but the effect Of The reform school
Is to reduce the ucmber of Its inmates 10
the minimum. BY an act of the legisla-
ture Shawnee county donated 16O acres
of land three miles northwest of To-
peka, and on this the state has erected .
building at cost of S35, 900 and other
wise improved the land. There are no
walled enclosures, no armed guards, no
shaving OF heads, no striped uniform.
No constant REMINDER that tue inmate IS
outside the pale OF the law and respecta-
bilitV. There are 106 boys at the school
now and the number is constant
ly increasing. The last legis-
lature voted $4,000 for two
new buildings which are sadly needed
as the capacity for the present one has
been reached. Boys who have commit
ted petty ofenses aud Others who dIsFe.
gard home restraints as we'll AS those
who haye no home. are sent here to be
released upon expiration of sentence, OF
sooner tor good behavior. In a word the
school take minor offenders at the first
symptoms. of lawlessness and throws such
restraints and Incentives around them
&c to make good citizens out OF incipient
burglars, incendisries and murderers. 1t
is noble work and should receive the
generous support of every citizen.

AMiIIion DoIlar Fire

MADISON, Wis, July Gone Of the
most DISASTROUS fires that ever occurred
In this section of the country took place
yesterday at Stoughton, burning ten out
of thirteen large tobacco warehouses,
the st. Paul depot and about twenty
freight cars loaded with wheat and other
merchandise, causing loss estimated al
from $500, 900 TO $1,000, goo. The FIRE
originated in an old hay press, now used
as . box factory. The tobacco ware
houses were owned by New York and
Philadelphia tobacco houses, Open
helmer & Co, R0ssenwald s. Co., COIN
& Co., and John Mark of Chicago being
among the loOsers. The IRE
has probably created the heaviest
destruction OF tobacco that ever occurred
in the United States az one time from
that cause. Il is estimated that fully
one-third of the entire crop of Wiscon.
SIN tobacco of last year was consumed &.
There were about 1900 cases stored in
the warehouse ready for shipment, worth
$50 apiece, making the loss on tobecco
S45O 600 The warehouses were worth
sos 900. The depot was . frame struc-
ture. A large amount of freight stored
in the depot was saved. The freight
cars burned we're standing on the side
track and in the excitement OF the hre, it
was impossible TO move them to Q safe
place. Nothing is known of the origin
of the fire, the general opinion was that
II started from some Fourth of July pa
triot. who was careless in the use OF fire.
WORKS. II was partially covered by IN.
surance, though the exact amount could
not be learned. The individual losses
fail mostly on eastern buyers, though
some of the Stoughton buyers lose from
S25, COO to SIS 600. and will be ruined
