WAS IN REFORMATORY
Jddse Jewett Visits There aud Explains
What He Learned There.

Ex-Postmaster Ed. Jewett returned
from Hutchinson yesterday where he
had been in an ambassadorial mission
without any political significance. While
waiting there for the home bound train
he concluded TO put in the time with j.
o. c. Morse al the state reformatory,
and is loud in his praise of that insti-
tuition He was shown through 1t by
Mr.. Morse, who explained the plan OF its
government. Mr.. Jewett thinks Mr..
Morse is entitled 10 great credit for the
way ne has managed, and hopes that
a competent person will be found TO take
his place. There are. IL appears, 15i
boys between the ages OF sixteen and
twenty, or therea bouts, in the institu-
ton There are three grades for them.
They are entered on the middle grade
and if they show improvement they aye
advanced 10 the first grade from which
they are set at liberty at whatever time
the superintendent thinks il is judicious
to discharge them. If they show retro
gression they are put down TO the third
grade, when they are kept much longer.
In promoting or setting back the boys
extraordinary good judgment is requir-
ed by the superint endent. Advancing a
bad boy is as bad as setting back a
good boy. and hence the superintendent
must not only understand human ma
ture and the hopes and ambitions OF
boys but he must be sufficiently hon
est and kind-hearted to dispense JUS
tice and give enlargement TO them re-
CARELESS OF any personal likes or dislikes
he may form OF them. Judge Jewett
thinks il would pay the governor 70
spend a week al the reforma tory before
suggesting the successor Of Mr.. Morse
for appointment

ZACHARY TAYLOR PLAN
How He Wanted the Gospel Spread in Old
Mexico

DR.. Rose, the white-headed coroner of
this county, while waiting az the sheriff 5
office yesterday for some one to bring in
ridings Of some disaster in his line, was
IN a reminiscent mood.

doctor. Il saw him first on the battle
field Of Buena Vista, in Old Mexico, dur

major of the First illinois. and he COM

their first battle, rar like coyotes before
the enemy had chance TO touch them.
The next day we faced the Mexicans.
and while We were all getting ready we
found that we had no paper with which
to load our guns. for. you must remem-

with a little powder and three bullets

While we were al in confusion about

learning cur trouble. asked:
Haven't you all Bibles in your
pockets?
a few days before that some mission
AIRY society made each soldier a present
Of small pocket Bible.
We have, cried the soldiers.
Then, said General Taylor, use the
leaves OF your Bibles for gun waddrg.'
Everybody thought the generals sug-
gestion was a good one and acted ac-
coFdingly.
I'VE al saw that old Zach had the mis-
chief in his eye that day, and We watch
ed him closely. He rode up me line, an
spec:ing every command, and finally he
halted before Jim Lanes command.
You fellows were damn ed towards

That day was a glorious one for the

when the days work was done the book
OF Genesis had entirely disappeared from
their Bibles. and rear,y two-thirds OF
Exodus besides. They took cid Zach al
his word and spread the gospel literally.

Tejoined with the remark that he had a
sIame that other people were welcome 10

wagon without his coat and said he

ance of his duty. During his term
the city has been kept free from ,ags
and criminals who came here were
promptly jailed and sent away. Fines
in the police court have greatly in
creased through his efforts, and the po-
lice department has always been self
sustaining. Mr.. Loughery mas the best
wishes of all the city officials. His sue
ceSsor. Captain Edward Hailock, IS an
efficient man. He has been with Mr
Loughery for several years and their
combined efforts made Astoria anything
but a desirable rendezvous for GRIM

duties of both offices. While almost
