enc deed, covering the whole tract
This, of course. was signed by both. In

:died; the purchaser found a bad flaw in
the title to the property, which had be-
cover from the surviving brother. whose
title to his portion of the tract was per
feet. The saving of a few dollars fol
an extra deed may result in the loss d
as many and more hundreds.

REFORMING CRIMINALS.
[Council Bluffs Nonpareil.l

There is an increasing tendency to-
rot only punish criminals, but to en-
deavor to reform them. The parole
system which Governor Shaw is maxi
ing use of is in this line and similar
systems are employed in other states.
Necessarily the parole system is large
Is experimental. but the results thus
tar indicate that 1t is great improve
ment on the out and out pardon. The
convict who is released on conditions
end who is kept under guardianship
is less apt to commit other offenses
than tho he has been released by the
expiration of his term of sentence or by
an unconditional pardon. He knows
that If he does not conduct himself
properly he is liable to be taken in
charge and summarily returned to
prison.
