Good Time For Prisoners.

The new law passed by the legislature in
creasing the good time" that may be
earned by cOnvcts says the Anamosa Qa.)
Eureka, is an excellent thing. Under it's
provisions the convict may gain one month
the first year. two the second, three the
third. four the fourth, five the fifth and six
months each year thereafter. On this basis,
as we understand it, twenty-year convict
by uniform good behavior could reduce his
time eight years and nine months. The law
also provides that in case of bad conduct
and violation of prison rules by the convict
the warden. with the consent of the gov
ernor, may deprive him of all the good-time
he has earned. Under the old law only the
good time for the current year could be lost,
and the new law therefore presents very
important incentives to good behavior.
These new features of the law were urged
upon the legislature by Warden Barr two
years ago and again during the past winter
and are now finally Incorporated into the
statute. The long time cOnvicts. we I'M
derstand, are feeling exceedingly happy
over the situation, as the law is framed to
apply Immediately. That is. convict, in
addition to the good time earned under the
old law, will at once begin to gain time I'M
der the new provision, the rate per year be-
ing one. two, three or six months. accord
ing to the length of time he has been in
confinement. The boys are aware of the
fact that it was largely through the efforts
Of the warden that these merciful conditions
have been extended, and when they found
it out number could not refrain from
grasping his hand with most affectiOnate
demonstrations of gratitude and delight.
We believe all of this is move in the right
direction, and that the men will not only
be much better cOntented but in the nature
of the case will, to large extent, cease i'm

tonight: Kilrain VS.. Corbett, six
rounds; Cleary VS.. Smith, six rounds;

After the Vacquelin fight the
Southerner were determined 10 find
some foemRn worthy OF Eilrsin's
proves and looked over the country
for suitable match. Their atten-
ton was called to J. J. Corbett, the
Olympic Club teacher at San Fran
cisco. Corbett is n giant youngster
and out west Is looked upon as the
coming worlds champion. A match
was made. COrbett was in beautiful
condition, while Kilrain looked too
heavy. Furthermore, Muldoon said
the sad affair at Dallas had rather
unnerved him.
There was . large eFowd OF spec

stated that his weight varied he

Corbett came out, all smiles, and
made strange contrast to Kilrain.
Although Corbettis feet IL inches
tall, he looked n mere boy alongside
of his adversary. He only weighs
lS3 pounds and looks even less.
Kilrain had Mnldoon and Cleary
behind him, while Corbett was Sc
conded by Tommy Danforth, who
will fight Paddy Mcbride in few
days, and Mike Smith. George Scott,
well knoSh here some years ago as

annual gross income, the rate to be
increased TO 5 per cent ut the end
of five years and to per cent at the
