A. T. Hert. warden OF the JeffersOnvlle, Ind.
penitentary, Charles Harley, warden of the
Michigan City, Ind. prison, and Earnest
Bicknell. secretary of the Indiana board OF
charities, were guests of Warden WOlfer on the
Goth. MeSsrs. Hert and Harley are recent ap-
pointees to office, and are a tour of in
spectiOn of the state institutions of Minnesota.
These gentlemen inspected all departments of
the prison and on Wednesday, accompanied by
Secretary Hart visited the jails and work
houses in st. Paul and Minneapolis. They will
also visit the RefOrmatOry at st. Cloud.
| The saltwater Gazette says: 1--WE are be-
coming little alarmed for Warden VOTERS
popularity. His people appear to be deserving
| him as he now has only 451 to look after and
keep in food and clothing" No cause for alarm,
brother Easton. During the heated term the
guests of this hotel take their vacation, as the
soft side of plank to lie on and the blue canopy
of heaven for covering is preferable to 6XS cell.
But wait until the frost is on the pumpkin, and
then the rooms of this widely advertised hotel
will all be occupied and the guards on the wall
will have to be unusually vglant to keep those
who have no right here from breaking in.
Daniel Fry was an interesting and interested
visitor at the prison on the 18th. Mr.. Fry has
been a resident of Saltwater fOrty-twO years
and was an employe of the prison twenty-five
years ago. He has not been inside the prison
walls for over twenty years. and the old
gentleman was very much surprised at the
many changes which have taken place. ASST
Deputy GlennOn was amused at the old mans
wondering comments and took special pains in
explaining to him the workings of the different
departments of the prison. Mr.. Fry was so I'M
fortunate as to lose an arm some years ago by
, coming in contact with a circular saw during
5 business hours, and being thus incapactateC
from doing manual labor he established bus
mess on North Hill where he has grown rich by
! selling pure Havana cigars at five cents apiece
