their wrists, and they were handed over to the warden by the officer Who brought them to prison. Behind the desk stood the same clerk who took their pedigree that time, and next to him the convict boolskeeper, who, de- spite his prison garb attends to the af- fairs of-his office with the same compo- sure as he did to the affairs of the bank which came dangerously near De- ing wrecked by him.
 Again, as on that gloomy day. ques- tions are asked-name, age, religion and when all entries have been made MT. Westlake confers the degree. He hands the discharged man printed document showing that he has served his time and "has this day been dis charged by communication for good beha vior, pursuant to chapter XXI of the laws of 1886, having thereby earned a full deduction of --- months and - days"
 "Now, you are not expected to frame this and hang it up said MT. Vest lake, nor to carry it about and make a show of it; but take good care of it, for it will come handy when you want to be restored to citizenship"
 Then he gives each man certain amount of money, and says: The state allows you ten dollars, and, in ad- dition, you receive pay for your time" The pay amounts to about one and one half cents a day. You will be escorted to the station and a ticket will be bought for you to New York"
 Receipts are signed the men are warned not to cone back before the communication time has expired because in that case they would have to do" the time; such trinkets, money or other valuable property as they may have had when they were received are hand ed over to them, and with that last act the convict is free. The prison authori- ties have really no further jurisdiction; but in order to protect the men against themselves a keeper is sent with them to the station. They walk along the road and then take a short cut by way of a steep hill, called Breakneck, to the station Some men are dumb from eX- citement, and others are so exhilarated that it is only by an effort that they re- frain from shouting. They talk about the new clothes, the high collars. and when the station comes in sight the question is usually asked: Shall I have time to get a drink before the train starts?'
 A drink and bunch of cigarettes are the first purchases of nearly every ex-- convict, and then they make anx 'ous inquiry as to where the train stops. All prefer to leave the train at either One hundred and -twenty-fifth street or One hundred -and-thirty- eighth street, and few men fresh from Sing Sing are willing to stay in the car till they reach the Grand Central station.
 Formerly discharged convicts were
 met at the prison gate or in the village by band of men who made that bus mess. They knew that the men had money, that they were thirsty, and they were ready to help them spend the one and ouench the other The conse- ouence was that many ex-convcts were arrested on the day of their discharge, land some were returned as prisoners before they had a chance to see their i friends Through the efforts of Ward- 1 en Sage this nuisance has been abol- iished. and his boarders are placed upon
 the trains sober and responsible.-New York Tribune.

THE TRANSvAAL vOLKSRAA]

AND PRAYER.
 In the Transvaal Volksraad lately an animated debate took place on a suggestion that the house should open and close daily with prayer. A Mr. Jan Meyer supported the motion. The Raad, he said was a sacred place, and how could members expect divine guidance if they did not pray for help ? A MT. Tosen could not agree with the speaker maintained that it frequently happened that members were in any, thing but a praying mood at the close of the days work. For himself he fre- quently felt anything but inclined to say: Lord, forgive me my debts, as we forgive our debtors" It would be sheer hypocrisy! Apparently the other members of the Raad thought so too, as the proposal was intimately rejected. Westminster Gazette.

Jos. Stombaugh was tried before
Justice F. NJ Lewis at Summer last
Friday for feloniously shooting at w.
H. Evans. The court seemed to
think that Mr.. Stombaugh had shot
at Evans ip self defense as Evans was
advancing on Stombaugh with a club
when Stombaugh drew pistol and
fred at his antagonist, therefore
Stombaugh was acquitted. The pistol
was one of the kind that "held fire, y

about Sumner now who is wiling to

trouble here recited between the de-
fendant and prosecuting witness grew
out of a previous alteration over a

southeast of town. 1t swept rapidly
northward, devastating the farms,
groves and cattle ranches that lay in
its path. The forest growth along the
Republican river lies PROSTATE and

The tornado lifted the water from the
river bed where II crossed forming in q
great volume Of spray and water that
overlooked the valley behind it.
The telegraph wires and poles along
the Burlington road are broken off

a mile. Six farmhouses were torn to
pieces, together with outbuildings. but
no one was killed near here, so far as
Is known.
The tornado veered eastward from
this place, passing into the thicltly-
settled country of Thompson's creek
and Buffalo township, where 1t Is
feared there is loss of life and further
