The prison system and treatment Of

for the feeding of prisoners. All that 10
provided is q prison, generally crowded
with prisoners dying Of the most loath-
some and infectious diseases, dark and
unventilated; and custodians who are
quite as brutal and savage as the prison
system itself.
Prisoners are cast into these hotbeds
Of disease, generally without the most
tarcjcal pretensc Of trial, TO die and
rot if their crimes are light, OF their
enemies impotent. Otherwise they are
probably tortured in some way or an

county commissioners protest
against the continuance of the

Sweden was ruined by single battle.
Il was the battle of Pultowa, in 100.
In this battle Peter the Great Of Rus
STA defeated Charles XII. of Sweden.
Sweden, under the Great Gustavus, had
risen to the position Of q frst-class Eu-
ropean power, while Russia was just
emerging out Of obscurity. Charles
XII, by hismarvelous victories, seemed
ON the way to make Sweden one Of the
greatest Of the powers. The crushing
blow that was dealt at Pultowa ruined
Sweden. At the battle Of Jena, in 1906,

The lecture.

(! Inc MCGUIRE.
/ Last night closed the lecture
course OF the season, and the
flush was, If possible, better than
any OF the former efforts of die
tinguished lecturers Of the United
States. Professor DeMotte sus
tanned hia high character as a
scientific platform speaker, and
his address was Instructive, elo-
quent and scientific, replete With
sound argume nts, and demonstrate
ed by scenes on the CANVASS, re-
fected by optical stereoscope ma
chine which was one of the finest
views Of the subject discussed
ever witnessed. His argument in
favor Of higher life, not only
for girls, but also for boys, was
able, and touched every heart in
attendance. No ore could hear
the lecture without feeling the as
piration of the heart for higher
and more noble life for all society.
To try to give any part of his lee
ture would only detract from his
lecture, and lower the standard Of
his eloquence and instructive adj
dress. It must be heard to be
fully appreciated.
We cannot close the article
without thanking the young men
of the Philomathian society, to
whom we are indebted for the
course of lectures furnished the
public during the winter, nor
would we be doing justice to them
il we failed to mention the efforts
of B. w. Carlisle, who has devot-
ed much of his time and ability in
assisting in building up this So
ciety. He has been the master
spirit of the society by giving in
structions and advice, and always
attending their meetings and en-
couraging their efforts in self-im-
provement, and If the citizens of
Missouri Valley fail to dem
onstrate their approval of the
effort Of these young gentlemen
by assisting them in securing a
like entertainment for the people
of next winter, they will show a
lack of public spirit for advance.
ment, unworthy the age.
All must admit that our city
has been benefited by these lee
lures, and while we have been dis
appointed in not hearing DR.. Hill
lis and General Gordon, the gem
tlemen who were advertised as
among those who we're to appear
here, we all know the reason for
the failure, and attach no blame
to the young gentlemen who Sc
cured the lecture course.
We understand the club propose
if the citizens desire it, to organ
ize q course for next winter, and
we bespeak for them hearty sup
port in their effort. To neglect
to support the young gentlemen
in their plans, would almost
amount to oriminality, for which
We all would be the sufferers.

A young man in New York city
with an extremely sympathetic
voice has found an occupation as
singer at funerals. His career
began in the accident of being
asked to sing at the funeral of q
friend, who had often expressed
pleasure in9listening to him. He
found himself in demand in a
friendly way and finally decided
to ask for low price for hie
services, chiefly to prevent their
being required so often. Instead,
he is steadily enlarging his Glen
