They are unable to get the fiber or put

counterfeits, almost perfect, the ap-

oHIo's PeNlrENTARM
Indications Favorable for It's Removal Il
1TanAfield.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 2 3-The sub-commit-
tee, consisting of Senator Kerr of Rich
land; Representatives Kitchen, Of Vinton,
and McCray, of Ashland, of the Joint legis-
lative committee appointed last winter to
consider the advisability of remov ing the
Ohio pententiary to Mansfield, have struck
rich find that, when known, will startle
the people of the state. They have ad-
journed to meet at Mansfield, December 8
where the committee will report by vote
of four to one in favor of a removal.
They find that it is impossible to remodel
the old cells in the penitentiary here, or to
maks ewo cells into one, and otherw
rebuild the institution to conform to the
public wants, without an outlay that would
not be justidable. Besides, they find the
buildings and land here can be sold for ST.
0W,00O to a manufacturing syndicate, and
that only 5000, 600 is required ct Mans field to
convert the new intermediate penitentiary
there into a prison, capable of holding
2,200 convicts, which leaves surplus of
100000 to be turned over to the state treas
ury.
Again the committee found the sanitary
condition Of the penitentiary here was the
most horrible in the United States and unfit
to surround even the vilest murderers. One
half of the inmates contract consumption or
malarial diseases from the dirty waters and
miasmatic sewer influences adjacent to the
penitentiary. ~..t
One of the subcommittee told your cores
pondent that their report i'll favor of the
removal would meet with bitter opposition
when presented to the legislature, but would
carry when all the facts were known; that
the Columbus prison was a wretched den of
rottenness to the state and to the prisoners !,
that a penitentiary at Mansfield would mean
better health to the prisoners and saving
annually of tens of thousands of dollars to
the taxpayers.
Said another committeeman: "Mansfield
is the best location in the state for the peni-
tentiary and it will be removed there The
Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas and Montgom-
cry delegations are for it, and next winter
Columbus will lose it and in less than ten
months where has been the vlest prison in

MORMON ELDERS.
Despite the Law They Continue
to Preach in the South.
THE RECORD FOR TEN MONTHS
WORK IN TENNESSEE.

Over Fifteen Hundred Converts From the
Vicinity of Chattanooga Have Been In-
duced to Emlgrate to Utah Within That
Time-The Poor MOuntaineers Easily
Persuaded. ii'f&
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 9S For three
years the Mormon elders have been working
Tennessee, northern Alabama and western
Virginia for the purpose of prpselyting the
people to the Mormon faith Two years ago
in middle Tennessee two of these elders were
killed outright and to this day their mur-
derers have never been prosecuted, stl
Although there Is a law in Tennessee pro-
hibiting Mormon elders from openly advo-
eating the Mormon doctrines, yet they have
increased their force SO that they make
it a business to visit families in person. and
persuade them to accept the Mormon faith
In Chattanooga there are now two elders
permanently located, who have charge of a
large field.
The preliminary work at this point was
done by Elder Morgan, one of the brightest
dehaters in the Mormon church, who made
his headquarters in this city for over year.
l:aving planted the seed, he then sent Elders
Perry and Stokey to this point and have
since had charge O; the field They have
established a regular preaching point near
ST. Elmo, one Of the suburbs Of the city, and
have quite large congregation. lI
Tuesday 500 converts assembled in this
city from all parts of the central south, the
larger portion of them coming from the
mountains Of east Tennessee and Virginia,
and were taken to Utah by Elder Perry.
The prolific field for most of the Mormon
elders is in the mountainous districts.
The native mountaineer is usually poor,
and when he hears of the great possibilities
for an easy and happy life in Utah, it does
not take long to convert him to the Mormon
faith The women especially are easily per-
suaded. When once convinced that Nor
monism is right they cannot be turned aside
from their purpose to seek home in the far
west. yv iI.t l.f,
The Mormon elders have made over one
thousand five hundred converts in this imme-
dnte vicinity within the past ten months,
and have their work so well systematiEed
at the present that about every sixty days
they take from two hundred to five hundred
people to Sal Lake as the results of their

HARRlSON'S ADVISERS.
Several Names Mentioned for Positions ia
the Next Cabinet.

the Next Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. There is much
talk about Mr.. Ciarkson, of Iowa, going into
the cabinet He is looked upon as at the
head of political affairs in Iowa now. II
Mr.. Allison should go into the treasury de-
partinent, that would, of course, leave Mr.
Clarkson out of the contest There would
then be an opening much more to his liking,
the seat vacated in the senate by Mr.. Allison
The honor would be between him and ex.
Representative Hepburn. When in the house
Mr., Hepburn was regarded as one of the
strongest men on the Republican side.
Some doubt is being expressed now about
Gen. Algers being made secretary of war.
The assumption has been upon the nation
that some sort of agreement was entered
into at Chicago, but it does not appear that
Mr. Harrison made any pledges there.
The friends of w. w. Murray, of Tennes-
see, believe that he is likely to get call into
Mr. Harrisons cabinet. They say that if
any southern man is selected for this distinc
ton, Mr. Murray is apt to be chosen for at.
torney general He is probably the most
prominent Republican of that state and also
