Beltrami county is bankrupt,
and unless speedy relief is granted
by the Legislature, a condition
will prevail there bordering on
anarchy. The treasury of the
county is empty. The limit of in
debtedness has been exceeded,
and the county government is a
pauper, without visible means of
support. The jurors drawn for
the January term of court struck,
refusing to accept county orders
for their pay, and the court adj
journed without doing any bust
ness. The judge could not hold
them, as under the law there was
no means of paying them. He
also struck. Eight prisoners in
the county Jail will be released by
the sheriff unless relief soon comes

THE WARDENSHIP.

During the present week change in the war
denship of this institution occurs. General Reeve
departs from this field of usefulness and Elk Warden
Wolfer is reinstated.
To General Reeve we bid farewell We who are
in position to observe and realize what has or what
can be accomplished by sincerity of purpose and un
wavering determination in this field of action, will
bow in respect to General Reeve. He has taken an
unpretentious and non-assuming stand in penolog-
cal affairs since his installation Unlike the case

reports were not given credence- common sense
and worldly knowledge seemed to characterize all his
actions. We have always accredited him with being
thorough student of human nature, lover of man
kind who is never more pleased than when he can

has won the respect, love and harmonious cooper

the best wishes of EVERY inmate is now with him.
Henry Wolfer in taking charge of the Office
comes reinforced by years of experience in this line
of duty. He has been instrumental in bringing this
institution to high footing and we expect that he
will take advantage Of any opportunities that may
arise to further raise the standard Of Mr.. Wolfer
there is ndiscreton in saying that like General
Reeve he is an able and earnest reformer one who
has long since gone through the process Of getting
his prison legs. Few men have had better oppor-

always ready for anything that might come up in an
institution of this kind, where SYSTEM generous
consideration, fair play and preparedness is always
necessary. Mr.. Wolfer's reputation as thorough
prison man is we'll known and he comes prepared to
cope with any difficulties and avert many of the evil
results that might arise therefrom.
