The Change In Wardens Made at the
State Prison.

State Prison.
The change of wardens occurred at
the Minnesota state prison yesterday
morning, and Gen. c. Nee. Reeve, of
Minneapolis, has been duly installed as
successor to Warden WOlfer. who has
been at the institution since June, 1892
The change occurred at a special meet
ing of the board of managers, and all
members of the board were present. The
oath of office was administered to War
den Reeve and he Immediately entered
upon his duties. Before adjourning the
board of managers adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the board of managers
of the Minnesota state prison have re-
ceived with deep regret the resignation
of Henry Wolfer. who for the past seven
years has been the efficient warden of
this institution At the same time they
extend their hearty congratulations upon
the splendid position he has been rendered
in business life. and feel assured that
the great success which has attended
his discharge of the onerous and reSpon-
sible duties as the head of this institu-
new field of labor. Mr.. Wolfer has placed
the Minnesota state prison in the front
rank as a penal institution, and 1t is now
regarded as model prison. During Mr..
VOTERS service as warden the state has
installed a binding Irvine plant with
the double purpose of furnishing employ
ment for the convicts and providing
cheap twine for the farmers of the
state; it is due to the excellent man
agement by Mr.. Wolfer that both OBJ
jects have been attained. and that at the
same time the operation of the plant
has proven a financial success. The in
duStry has grown steadily and now as
sumes large proportions. The farmers
have secured binding Irvine at low prices,
and large numbers of prisoners have been
given the employment they need Mr.
Wolfer has displayed business ability of
high order. both in the management
of the plant and in disposing of the
product. Minnesota is fortunate In hay
ing such faithful and efficient man to
initiate and successfully establish this
important prison industry, and the board
of Mr.. VOTERS valuable services they
are experiencing a serious loss. They
