REDUCES TOBACCO SUPPLY
Iowa Board Of Control Restricts Use Of the
Weed by 0onviots.
CHEW LESS OF THE STUFF HEREAFTER
Butter TO Partially Take the Place OF
Tobacco on the Dietary of In
mates of the Different
state Penitentiaries.

DIES MONIES, Ia, June 29-(Special Tele-
gram.)- 1.-The state Board OF Control issued
an order today cutting down the allowance
of tobacco for the convicts in the state peni-
tentiares and adding butter to the dietary
OF those institutions. At first it was thought
advisable to take all tobacco from the in
mates of these institutions and in its place
10 substitute butter, which has never been
a part of the dietary OF the penitentiares
heretofore. After consultation with the
wardens 1t was deemed best to simply cut
the allowance down and to add butter to the
dietary as at first contemplated. The Board
OF Control has spent enough money in buy
ing tobacco for the penitentiaries during the
last year to have supplied twelve tons of
butter to those institutions. over 81 900 has
been invested in tobacco alone for the peni-
tentiaries during the last quarter and 1,5OO
plugs were consumed at Fort Madison alone.
The order OF the board is as follows:
"Convicts admitted to the pententiares
on and after July 1, 1899, and convicts who
are punished by solitary confinement after
that date shall not be permitted to use to-
bacco OF any kind
After that date no convict shall be al
lowed to receive over two ounces OF tobacco
per week Butter shall be added to the
dietary"
The formal order which the State Board
OF control has been promising to issue
against nepotsm in the state institutions ap-
pointments in Iowa, was made today. 1t
provides that on and after July 1, 1899,
neither the wife, child or other relative by
blood or affinity Of the chief executive officer
OF any Iowa institution shall be employed
therein at expense to the state.
Two large Iowa savings banks were added
today to the long list Of banks which have
been commissioned to do business in the
state since the LIST OF January. One is the
German American Savings bank Of Musca-
tine, Ia 1T has capital stock of $50, ,OO0
Hon. J. l.. Giesler of Muscatine is its presi-
dent. The other is the German Savings bank
OF Manning, Ia, with capital of $50, 900.
F. NJ. Leet is president. Over twenty saw
lngs banks have been commissioned to do
business In Iowa since the first Of the year.

corded for the same time in the last six
or seven years.
l. e. Pearson, the attorney for the State
Antl-Saloon league, was today found guilty
IN district court of contempt of court and
the judge announced that he will sentence
MIN Saturday Pearson said he would lust
as soon try case before Mark Chiesa a

and the court simply would not stand for

The coal operators Of Iowa met here today
and decided to maintain the present price
or coal throughout the summer They usually
make cut in price about this time of the
year, but claim that the change from ten
TO eight hours work increases the expense
OF mining and that they cannot cut prices.

sideration. Coming TO America from his be-
loved Holland he has manifested in his life
