The State Board of Control has
adopted the grade system of cloth
ing for theinmates OF penitentiaries
and contracts for the various grades
of woolens have been closed. The
new sytem will go into effect on Jan
uary 1st, and it is expected that
within few months thereafter all
the convicts will be equipped with
the apparel to which their conduct
entities them. There is to be three
grades of convicts under the new
system. Those that are exemplary
in their conduct will be clothed in
suits of softest wool, in which no
stripes appear. Grade number two
which comprises those guilty OF an
occasional infraction of the rules
will be provided with clothing OF
less expensive material and have
stripes of subdued color. Vicious
and unruly convicts who make no
attempt to conform to the rules Of
the prison will continue to wear the
old black and white. This is grade
number three.

An Obituary.

Mr.. Theodore Braun, after years
ofphysical disability, passed quiet
ly to rest last Wednesday. Decem
Der %, 1899, surrounded by those
who had been his faithful and kind
and loving attendants.
The deceased was born in LuXen-
burg, Germany, August "a, 1873, ana
came to this country when young
man and was married in Dubuque
in 1858. Five children survived the
loved departed and were present to
attend the last sad rites and cere-
monies which were held Friday at
ten o'clock A. NJ, at Saint Bonitace
church, the services being Conduct
ed by Rev. Father Failenschmid.
He was one of our oldest and most
respected citizens, having lived in
this county the past thirty-four
years. He was by profession a
machlnist but owing to stroke OF
paralysis has not worked at his trade
for many years past. He was man
of strong personalities and possess.
ed character pure and spotless.
He was man OF kind disposition,
full of noble and lofty purposes,
always living. true, consistent and
upright life which endeared HIM to
a large circle of friends and ascot
ates who now mourn his loss.
He displayed those sterling quail
ties of noble manhood and honest
worth that is characteristic of the
| highest and best type of true and
honest manhood. He was man of
decision, firm in the principles of
right, but ever unseltish in the
rights and privileges Of, Others.
Thus a man of lofty purposes and
noble deeds has passed from our
midst to the beyond. leaving behind
wife who nourns for herlife com
panion and his tendersympathy and
love, children who weep for him
who shared their childish joys and
griefs and taught them the higher
and nobler principles of true and
noble manhood, and pure the sweet
womanhood, while friends and asso
ciates long for his words of cheer
and willingly share the sorrow anc
grief of those who were united &c
him by kindred ties. He is now al
rest, free from care and toll and
strife, and precious and halloweo
spot in the Catholic Cemetery, cas-
of town, marks his last resting
i place where his loved ones will eve1
go, fondly remembering and cher
ishing in sweet and precious. mem
DRY the happy days of their child
hood dream.
