sTILLwATER NEWS,
Plenty Of Gossip ABOUT Warden
Garyin's Shoes.


Speculation is rife in this city as to
who will succeed Warden Garyin as
warden of the state prison, when he
leaves to accept the Office of chief of po-
lice of st. Paul. Some think that Gov.
Merriam will appoint Deputy Warden
Lemon as his successor, while others
think that Col. Clark Chambers will re-
ceive the plum. Mr.. Garvin has been
ably assisted by Mr.. Lemon in the man
agement of the prison, and it is gem
orally conceded that he would make a
good warden. During Mr.. Garvin's
administration many changes have been
made, and it is noticeable that all or
them are for the benefit Of the convicts.
Better discipline has been enforced, and
no partially whatever is shown the
convicts. The night school established
last fall was productive of much
good during the winter months
and many of the cOnvicts who
were totally unable to read and write
can now write their own letters and
read the newspapers. The grading
system which takes effect today is an
other wise move, and has proven of in
estimable value in prisons where 1t has
been adopted. ConvictS who have
never been reported for infractlon or
the prison rules will be entitled to
| greater consideration than those VINO
are careless, lazy and untidy. MIR. Car
vim has been ably assisted by Mr.. .emon
! in bringing about these changes. and 1t
is believed that the schooling he has re-
ceived under Mr.. Garvin pre-eminently
qualities him for the position.
