Reached the Penitentinry.

Eldorado, Kan., July 10.--Jessie
Morrison left Tuesday in custody of
Sheriff Turner for the penitentiary Mt
Lansing, to begin her five-year SEN
tence for the murder of Mrs. Clara
Wiley Castle. There were several hun
dred people at the railway station to
take farewell look at the little pris-
'oner. Miss Morrison was sitting on
the grass beside the track when the
train stopped. When she arose she
was so weak and trembling that she
had to be helped on the train. Just
as the train started she kissed some
one good-by and began crying. Miss
Morrison's brother, Hayward, accom-
panied her. He will remain Mt Lam
sing a few days and spend all the
time he can with his sister.
Miss Morrison was taken to the
home of her parents early Tuesday
morning by n deputy sheriff, where
she ate breakfast with her relatives.
She remained at home under guard
until she was taken to the railroad
crossing by Deputy Schram to board
the train. The parting scene at the
home was very pathetic one. The
aged father. stepmother. brothers and
sisters cried bitterly as she kissed
them good-by.

Mt the prison gate Mt 1880 last night
and was met by Warden Jewett and
other officials. The warden took Miss
Morrison by the arm and escorted
her to his office. She bore up bravely
under the terrible strain, which was
quite noticeable. The warden told her
he appreciated her unfortunate condi-
ton and would try to he as leniert
as the rules of the institution would
permit and humanity dictated.
Crowds of curious people were ut tn"
railroad station here to see the pris-
oner and they lined the walk to tn"
prison gate. She was weeping oil the
time. In less than five minutes after
she entered the warden's Office she
was shown to the woman's depart
ment inside the prison walls.
AS the big door clanked, the male
choir in the chapel began the song:
when the Harvest Days Are Over.
Jessie, Dear" Miss Morrison couldn't
stand this. She broke down completely
and it was with difficulty that she
was escorted to her department. Mrs.
Clayton, the matron, took Jessie in
to her own room and talked with her
for some time, quieting her. Then
Hayward, her brother, left and the
parting scene was pathetic. She chung
to his neck and pleaded with him to
stay. Both were crying bitterly. But
he couldn't stay and as he walked out,
hopping the tears from his eyes, Jes-
sic collapsed. She was revived few
moments later and was quieted and
put to bed.

President McKin1ey.s Tour.

Washington, April 1.-The work of ar
ranging the itinerary of the presidents
trip to the Pacific coast is proceeding
slowly at the White House. and almost
everything on the program up to the pres
ent time is provisional and subject to
change. The trip is to be in no sense a
speechmaking tour, it being the pei
dents desire as far as possible to avoid
addressing the crowds which will congre-
gate at the various places at which he will
stop. Some set speeches at several places
are already arranged for, but the president
will make no rear platform speeches to the
multitudes. Another feature of the trip
will be the substitution of drive throug
city for public reception. The trip Will
be SO arranged that there will be no tr,v-
cling on Sunday. Secretary Cortelyou,
who is planning the itinerary, is not able
yet to give out even an approximation of
the route and stops.
