STATE PRISON AND
BINDING TWINE PLANT

Owing to public criticism concerning
the state prison. and especially of the
binding twine plant, as soon as it was
possible to make a change Hon. Henry
Wolfer was reappointed warden The
new management took immediate steps to
remedy some Of the evils complained Of.
Ipat 1t was most successfully accom-
plished is shown by the following facts:
During 1901 there was manufactured
IN round numbers, 900 pounds of
twine. This was sold at an average of
about 2 cents per pound below the prices
at which twine Of equal grade and quail
ty was sold by jobbers and manufacture
ers TO the dealers OF the state, which
would make an actual saving of 100000
to the purchasers of prison twine.
The profit to the state on binding twine,
IN round numbers, was $33, 900.
The showing for 1902 gives better re-
suits than the preceding season. Amount
manufactured, 100000 pounds. The
twine was sold at PA cents per pound
cheaper than twine sold by jobbers. This
viii prove an actual saving Of $125, 900
to the farmers of Minnesota who pur-
chased twine the present season, and if
1 cent per pound, Of all twine sold in
the state, some Is, 900, 600 pounds. caused
by competition with prison twine, there
for the year of $500, 900.
Not only has the twine been of a su-
perior equality, and thus great saving to
the purchaser resulted, but there has
been clear saving to the state Of $4,000,
which, added to the $33, 900, makes clear
gain in two years III favor of the twine
plant of SIT, 900
This splendid showing was made possi-
BILE by the adoption Of business methods
and placing at the head of the prison a
thorough business man and one who fully
understands the duties required of him.
So well has the twine plant been managed
that there is now to the credit Of the re-
volving fund 100000.
The financial showing for the entire
prison, too, is most excellent, as will be
seen from the following statement:
For 1900 there was deficit of $51.88 for
each convict.
For 1901, 1882. while for 1902. the
year wholly under the management Of
Warden Wolfer, there was a gain Of
$70.57 for every prisoner in the institu-
ton.
I have gone somewhat into detail in
order that you may be advised as to the
excellent record made in the state prison
during the past two years.
The prison IS overcrowded, and addi-
tional cell room must be provided for at
this session Of the legislature.

LA GRANGE, Ind, Jan. 7.-Assassi-
nation, wrecking of homes with dyna-
mite, assaults by mobs and a general
reign of terror have followed the vic
torious war of the Anti-Saloon league
against the saloons of the town of
Winslow.
Arthur White, of Princeton, a prom
inent league worker, was assassinated
while cha aging cars at Hazleton A
hidden foe shot him five times as he
stood on the station platform. John
McConnelPs residence, which was part
ly destroyed by dynamite last Wednes-
day, was blown up last night McCon-
nell was assaulted today by a drunken
mob and Lawrence Goff, the town mar
shal, was seriously injured by uniden-
tilted assailants while trying to make
an arrest F. J. Fentons drug store
has been blown up with dynamite The
explosion was SO heavy that all sur
rounding buildings were partly wreck
ed.
Through the efforts of the Anti Sa-
loon league all the dram shops have
been driven out of the township. The
saloonkeepers and a portion of the
residents want to restore the saloons,
but the league and its friends are pre-
venting the issuance of licenses. Mean
while the reign of terror continues.
The marshal has sworn in a large
number of deputies, but he finds it
difficult to keep order. Citizens who
are prominent in the work of the
league have surrounded their homes
with armed guards who remain on duty
night and day.

of many of our citizens, as expressed
through the public press. as to whether
the establishment of the board of control
could be justified from humanitarian

Emperor William the following tele-
gram:
'The assembled workmen of the
Vulkan works declare that they dis
approved of collecting signatures to
an address supporting the emperor's $
attitude in the Krupp affair and dis
agreed with the contents of the tele-
gram sent. They declare, on the other
hand, that the telegram was a concoc-
ton designed to deceive his majesty
regarding the true and honest senti-
ments of the working classes. The
signers We're induced by direct or indi-
rect compulsion to sign the telegram.
They deem it irreconcilable with their
manly honor as workingmen to de-
ceive his majesty concerning their true
sentiments and declare that they sign
ed only through fear of pecuniary
damage
A resolution embodying the forego-
ing was adopted at a stormy meeting.
The address complained of was an in

MESSAGE is READ.

Paper Submitted.


After the introduction by Speaker
Babcock, Gov. Van SAINT read his an
nual message to the joint assembly.
The message in full is as follows:
Pursuant to duty imposed by the con-
stitution of the state, it is deemed expe-
bic body such information as is possess
ed in relation to state affairs, and to sub
nit for your consideration suggestions
and recommendations which 1 hope may
be helpful. Understanding fully the ne
cessity of cooperation between the legis-
lative and executive departments. and
apprec1ating our respective obligations,
let us, with mutual confidence and with
the earnest desire to faithfully serve the
people of our commonwealth, enter upon
tbs discharge Of the duties assigned to
US.
The treasury department being one of
the most important, and as the demands
upon that department for the next bien-
NAL period will be large. the matter of
ceiye your careful attention. The state
auditor estimates the receipts and dis
bursements of the revenue fund for the
fiscal year ending July 81, 1903 1904 and
1905 as follows:

There will be an estimated
surplus July 81, 1905, of. ... 427 ,519 IS
In the receipts the auditor has reckoned
the state tax at mill on $500, 100000.
The item of disbursements for the three
fiscal years contains 100000 for new
buildings and extraordinary repairs. The
ssEimate of the amount for new buildings
is no doubt near the limit. Under the
most favorable circumstances it could
not exceed 81 600, GOO without increasing
the tax levy, and that should be avoided.
In order to avoid this. / urged the strict
est economy and the most careful investi-
cation of every appropriation asked for.
