No Bids.
AT meeting of the board of prison
managers no bids were received for con-
vict labor, and the board, after the
usual s.whereases,'' resolved that the
warden be instructed to notify the
thresher company to at once remove ali
ofsits belongings and effects outside of
the prison enclosure before Oct. l, 1898.
The Minnesota Thresher company mas
employed on an average about 165 con-
yicts during the past two years at IS
cents a day. The contract with the
state requires it to employ one-half of
the able-bodied convicts. The engines
and all the heavy machinery in the
prison are the property of the state.
H. G. FOCAL. superintendent of the
thresher company, was asked his rea-
son for not putting in a bid. His reply
was that the heavy stockholders resi-
dent in Boston are not prepared to enter
into contract as yet, but said the COM
pany might decide to bid for the con-
vict work and might dseide not to use
it at all.
sss Vandals' Work.
| 10 The handsome Glenwood cemetery at
Mankato was desecrated one night by
1eunknown' vandals, who overturned and
broke eighteen monuments and slabs,
including some costly ones erected by
some of the best citizens. The work
was all done in one locality on the south
side of the cemetery. It appears that
after the monuments had been torn up
and overturned they were broken as
though with sledge hammers. Orna-
ments and decorations on stately shafts
! were ruthless1y destroyed. The graves
thus desecrated are those of most prom
inent and respected citizens. The
| broken stones gave the, names of w. H.
! Day, VIM. C. Durkee, w. H. Wilson, D.
! r. Brooks, Mr.. Strickland, w. f. Coffin,
VIM Cheshire, Robert Heinz, Gilbert
Webster, Mrs. NJ. Porter, D. D. Evans.
I'M. Roblee, John Elwen and Mary Grin.
Others were more or less injured, with
the appearance of being struck with .
heavy instrument.
