REFoRMAToRY BILL PASSES
Senate Votes to Establish New In
stitution for Iowa Convicts,

StltutiOn Tor iowa ConvictS.
Des Moines, Feb. 26.-The Iowa
senate yesterday passed with only
eleven dissenting votes, the bill to es.
tablish a refomatory for men in Iowa
The measure went through as origin.
ally drawn with but one important
amendment to it. This is the bill
fathered by Senator Emmert and en-.
dorsed by the state board of control.
It was drawn up after consulting the
laws of the other states, and is looked
upon by lawyers of the upper body
as we'll nigh perfect from a legal stand.
point. It is practically the same bill
which did not get through two years
ago.
According to it's provisions, as soon
as the act goes into effect the state
board of control will convert the pen.
1tentiary at Anamosa into state re.
formatory for men, transferring to
Ft. Madison all criminals over 81 years
of age. Those under 81 years of age
who are serving their first term in the
penitentiary for any crime less than
murder are to be retained in the re.
formatory, where skilled instructions
in mechanical arts will be employed to
teach them, and otherwise assist in the
process of reformation it is expected
to effect. After the reformatory is es.
tablished it shall be the duty of the
district judges to sentence all persons
under the age of 81. convicted of any
felony except murder, and no pre-
viously convicted, to this institution.
There is an elaborate system Of
parole provided by which the state
board of control is to be guided, and
what is considered one of the strongest
features of the bill is the fact that VIC
lations of parole issued to inmates OF
the reformatory will send the convict
to Ft. Madison to serve out the maxi.
mum penalty of his former crime with
out regard to previous sentence.
Every effort to amend the bill failed,
except the striking out Of the provision
removal of convicts to the reformatory
when the penitentiary at FIT. Madison
becomes overcrowded. The bill orig
inally provided that prisoners so trans
ferred should be treated as other IN
mates of the reformatory, but it was
amended to leave them subject to the
same restrictions as at Fort Madison.
The bill carries an appropriation OF
$40, 900 with which to make the trans
fer of the prisoners and open the re-
fOrmatOry.

Rural Delivery Fight

Washington, Feb 27.-Monday the
fight to have the rural mails delivered
by contract will be taken UP in the
House of Representatives, under the
leadership of Mr.. Loud, chairman of
the postoffice committee. This de-
cision was reached by the House yes
terday. Mr.. Loud is persistent in his
efforts to remove from the government
pay rolls the names of all rural free
delivery carriers, and he attempted to
do so by an amendment to the regular
postoffice appropriation bill. The
friends Of the existing service have
formed an opposition and assert that
about two-thirds of the members OF
the House will vote against the con-
tract proposition.

J. X. Ivey, collector Of customs at
Sitka, had instructed his deputy at

pelagic sealing to obtain supplies at
that port The collector was informed
that if such orders had been given
they must be rescinded. Yesterday
the department received telegram
from Mr.. Ivey, saying:
My instructions were not against
vessels engaged in alleged legal seal
fishing, but against Canadian vessels
actually engaged in pelaglc sealing,

Grand Island, Neb., June 25-At
7 O'Clock this morning the fusion con-
ventions adjourned for breakfast with
out having decided on nominee for
governor.
During the night the populists
nominated Ed Harrington for COVER
nor, and the democrats named G. j.
Smythe. This caused deadlock
which was not broken until II o'clock
this morning when Harrington with
drew from the race. The populist :
then nominated w. j. Bryan by ac-
clamation. Mr. Bryan explained that
under the circumstances it would be
impossible for him to accept, and
made a plea for harmony and fusion.
Mr.. Smythe then withdrew his
name and at noon w H. Thompson of

ODD FELLOWS
DRAG THE RIVER
Party Started on Gruesome
Task at Noon.
No Clew Has Yet Appeared of the
Whereabouts of the Missing
Man Friends Still Con-
tinue the Search.

And still no tidings come of the
whereabouts of G. W Thomas who
has been missing since early Monday
morning. Whether he is wandering
through the hills in a state of de-
mentia, or whether his dead body lies
in some lonely aroya or at the bottom
of the Arkansas river is yet an un-
solved problem.
Fireman Hurst of the Florence and
Cripple Creek claims TO have seen IA
man whom he thought at the time TO
be Mr. Thomas, about. eighteen miles
from Victor at 10 O'Clock Monday
morning. The man was walking
north on the f. & c. c. right Of way,
but in an aimless sort of way that at
tracted Mr. Hurst's attention.
When this fact was learned here
yesterday the officers of the Cripple
Greek district were notified and they
have been keeping close watch for
any man answering the description.
Up to O'Clock no word had been
received from the District, and at
that hour a party of Odd Fellows was
organized to drag the river in the
hope that if their unfortunate brother
had found a watery grave they would
recover the body
The party started in at Smiths
ranch and they are working down the
river from that point At the time
of going to press the body had not
yet been recovered.
Mrs Thomas has not yet been able
TO open the store safe which is sup
posed to contain considerable num-
Der of diamonds and some money.
This afternoon she telephoned to Pu-
eblo for an expert to come up and
work the combination.
There are few who hold to the
theory that Mr.. Thomas deliberately
skipped out of town, but if no money
or valuables are missing when the
safe is opened that theory can hardly
be accepted.
