Mrs. Jennie Akers, postmaster at
Elmdale, received letter saying If
she did not place $3.50 in gold in her
lot in the cemetery her little boy

selves on guard. They captured C. NJ.

Warden Jewett has shown marked
consideration for Jessie Morrison,

cry visitor to the state prison is eager

the especial mark of the curious pub

Kansas Penitcntiary Pays.


The annual report of the Kansas
penitentiary for the fiscal year ended
July 1, 1901, makes fine showing for
the management. The total earnings
amounted to S206,504.31, and the to-
tai expenses to $165, 447.63, leaving the
earnings S41,O56.60 in excess of the
expenses. The earnings exceeded the
expenses every month in the year eX-
cept four.
The Irvine plant account is not in
cluded in the above estimate of earn
ings and expenses. So far it has been
operated independently of the other
penitentiary industries. The Irvine
plant has been installed two years.
The first year the prison officials I'M
dertook to sell Irvine exclusively to
farmers direct for cash, and they were
left with large stock on hand. Dur
ing the present summer Warden jew
EFT sold Irvine to all who wanted 1t.
He brought down trust prices, and not
only sold out n big stock, but made n
small profit for the state. The finan-
cial record of the Irvine plant shows
that the state expended $4,000 for
machinery for the plant. This was by
n separate appropriation. In addition
$150,O00 rs revolving fund and $4,000
as contingent fund was appropriated
to keep the plant in operation. The
operating of the plant SO far as shown
by the condition of the revolving fund
makes profit of s+,563 for the state.
This profit is small, but it is said to
be much better than the Minnesota
Irvine plant did the first two years.

declining tendencies were further more or
less logical combinations of the move

There were some conspicuous exceptions
