the Peniteutiary.
DEs MONIES, April 6.-The Iowa board
of control of state institutions has de-
termined to establish factory for max.
ing binding twine in one of the peni.
tentiaries. About l,100 convicts are in
the Anamosa and Fort Madison institu.
tions. At Anamosa it has been almost
impossible to find employment for them,
hence the board decided to try the twine
factory. Investigations are in progress
as to the expense of equipping plant.
1t was first designed to put in general
machine shops. The twine factory can
be established cheaper, and the board
claims will produce large part of the
twine used in Iowa and reduce the price
from 20 to 33 per cent, comparing with
the average trust prices of the last two
years.

How Often to Feed Cows.

The COW is ruminant animal, and
this means that she takes time to digest
her food in the most thorough manner.
If fed literally night and morning and
in sufficient variety she will eat more
heartily than if three full meals are Of
fered to her per day. At noon few
corn stalks or clover hay may be given.
In feeding grain to COWS it should be
ground and mixed with enough cut
feed to make it bulky. If COWS eat
whole grain or meal not mixed with cut
food it goes to their second stomach and
does not come up to be chewed in the
cud.-American Cultiyator.

LADIES At THE GR|D|RON CLUB
PICTURESQUE ENTERTAINMENT
GIVEN IN WASHINGTON.
Large Banquet Hall Is Transformed
Into a Beautiful Miniature Forest
Many Prominent People There.

Washington, April s.-The Gridiron club
tonight gave an entertainment for ladies,
which was one of the usual picturesque
occasions for which me club is noted
The members of the club have made their
reputation in unique dinner giving and
tonight they gave a reception to large
NUMBER of guests, different from the
usual character of such affairs.
About 175 ladies and gentlemen assem-
bled at the Arlington hotel parlors, ana
after being received by the president OF
the club and his wife, were ushered into

ture forest illuminated by thousands OF
electric lights of different colors. Amid
the branches of the trees and vines were
many birds so naturally arranged as to
make me illusion more complete. ABOUT
the sides of the room were ranged palms
and ferns and potted flowers. In the
windows were aquar1umS with i've nSn
and water fowl IIridiron decorations of
flowers and electric lights hung in the
foliage. The room being entirely sur
rounded with mirrors, everything was
seen in reflection, creating the impression
of a forest most brilliantly lighted.
As soon as the guests were seated an
entertainment began consisting OF NUM-
selections. AT the end of this part OF
the programme, President Boynton an
nounced with much regret that by some
oversight no refreshments had been
complaint from several members, who
insisted that General Boynton,s connec-
ton with the army had made him forget
ful of the duty to the oommissary de- lie,
partment. In the midst of the discussion
one of the members of the club rushed
to a telephone hanging in the woods, and
rang for the good fairy of the gridiron,,
ers. who appeared with magic wand ana
promised to remedy the difficulty. The
fairy was one of the largest members of
the club, arrayed in suitable fairy
costume, and his appearance created a
great deal of mirth. One wave OF the
fairy sceptre produced a number of cooks
with necessary tables and supplies and
one end of the hall was soon transformed
into refreshment bower where an ele-
CANT repaSt was served.
During the evening the woman's SUI
frage was given tsEst. Each lady voting

DEATH STRIKES A FAMILY
NEARLY ALL MEMBERS PERISH
IN MYSTERIOUS MANNER.
Police of st. Louis Investigating a
Peculiar Case-Either Poisoning OF
Asphyxiation the Supposed Cause.

st. Louis, April S.-John Sullivan and
dead, and their demise is surrounded
with mystery. Yesterday William Sui
Ivan, son of the dead man, discovered
his father and his sister dead, and his
mother and Christy Dunn, a nephew,
seriously i'll. Instead of notifying the
proper authorities, William locked up
the house and took his mother and sis
ter to his home. Today he called in the
police.
The bodies were removed to the
morgue, and William, with a brother
named Edward, and the survivors of
the family, placed under arrest. 1t is
the theory of the police that the deaths
and sickness were caused by poison
taken in their food. Whether there was
anything criminal in connection with it
they are unable to say.
The Sullivan family, with the excep-
ton of William, who was married, oc-
cupied two rooms in a tenement in the
rear of 1918 Biddle street. They moved
in Thursday night Anthony FitZpat-
rick, who occupied an adjoining room,
was placed under arrest, with Mrs. Nc
Quade, a neighbor.
All members of the family are posi-
tive they ate nothing but fried eggs and
bread and butter for supper Thursday
night. They also had tea. That Tas
the last meal they ate.
Friday afternoon Mrs. Sullivan, who
is 90 years of age, was aroused from the
unconsciousness that overcame the
family after the meal Thursday night.
She was suffering with terrible pains,
as were also the other members of the
family, whom she found lying near the
bodies of the dead father and daughter.
The son William was then sent for. 1t
is believed that there will be no more
deaths.
Edward Sullivan, one of the sons, suf-
fered a relapse this afternoon, and was
taken to the city hospital, where he is
dying. Mrs. Dunn, one of the victims.
was proprietor of the lunch counter of
the be-Democrat.
After a. careful investigation into the
death of two members of the Sullivan
family, supposedly by poison, it is be-
lieved tonight that the tragedy was
caused by asphyxiation. Mrs. SuIli-
van, who nearly lost her life, has re-
covered sufficiently to tell that the
family went to sleep with the pipe off
the coal stove in which a fire burned,
after having tried. to clear the pipe of
SCOT NO traces of poison have yet been
discovered, and the evidences bear out
Mrs. Sullivan's story.

Il THURST0N CHANGES FRONT.
Nebraska Senator Is Now an Avowed
Annexationist.

Philadelphia, April S.-Senator John NJ
Thurston Of Nebraska made an informal
address at the Union league here tonight.
Among other things he said he had
changed front, and was no longer a con-
servative, but an annexationist. He be-
lieved this country's attitude in the
present Philippine situation was right. lie
regarded Aguinaldo's uprising as simply
a rebellion of anarchy, which must be
crushed.
Il voted against the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands," he said, because Of

come; therefore you will understand that
[ am not a partisan. but when, in the
providence. of Cod new territory and new
responsibilities come to us, we are bound
to share part of the responsibilities. |
am one of those who would have wished
that after Dewey sailed into Manila and
gained the grandest victory of modern
times. that he could have left without
accepting the responsibility. But this
could not be done. God has given us
the responsibility and we must accept it.
Civilization has the right of way over
barbarism and the American people were
equal to this and any other responsibility
that might arise.

consideration incidentally, and pro-
voked some forcible adverse criticism
and condemnation. The meeting was
presided over by Mrs. J. II. Meter of
Richfield.
The opening number was a vocal Sc
lection, King of Kings by a Miss
Pierson.
Following this was a paper. ''Pecu-
liar Tactics Necessary to Mission Work
in Utah." was read by Edwin L. An
derson of Salina. The paper was a
production of the gentleman's wife.
who was unable to be present. The
topics treated were as follows:
First-A missionary must be living
example and keep himself unspotted
from the world.
Second-He should seek access to the
people and show them in the spirit of
love that they are being misled and
are not true Christians.
Third-It is sometimes necessary,
especially in Utah, where the people
are Indifferent to true religion. to
teach them and rouse their interest by
indirect means.
Fourth-Special attention should be
given here TO teaching the nature and
evil of sin and wrong-doing. on account
of the great laXness Of morals among
the Mormons.
Fifth-He must teach the people that
for service and fellowship, and that
salvation comes from Christ only.
SiXth-The doctrines of the Mormons
should be antagonized directly, even
though it. anger the people, on the
ground that Christians stand opposed
to error, wherever found.
The gentleman interspersed some
pointed and spirited remarks after
having read each subject. His posi-
ton was as outlined in the paper, but
he elaborated TO a considerable extent
and emphasized somewhat strongly in
his denunciations OF the Mormon people
the points offered.
Following the paper was a quartette
by Rev. James Wilson and others.
Miss May Erwin Of Nephi next gave
an interesting talk on her experiences
as a missionary in India
A beautiful vocal solo, Your Mis-
sion" was rendered by Mrs. George
H Marshall of Mt Pleasant.
The meeting was brought to a close
by an address by DR.. Wishard. who
spoke on encouragement. God rules
over Utah. and in him we should place
our trust" he said. For years the at
tempt had been made to draw the
worlds attention to the conditions of
Utah, but in vain, until, by the action
of Utah's people last fall, the Lord had
turned the attention of seventy mil
lions of people toward this state-just
what had been desired 50 long.
This mornings session was devoted
principally to reports from the field
and other committee reports.
