PRISON OFFICIAL HERE.

JAS. Campbell, clerk at the states
prison at Waupun, spent Sunday in the
city, having come here for the purpose
of installing and giving sheriff Chellis
instruction IN the Bertillion measuring
system recently purchased by the
county. MIR. Campbellis young man,
though be has spent quite a number of
years in the prison, and is an expert in
measaring man and reading his char
acter. He is also gifted with wonder
ful memory and has in his mind the
record of nearly every prisoner in the
state institution. He states that this
county senis more prisoners to Wau-
pun than any county in the state out
side of Milwaukee, having averaged
two month for the present year He
has visited many county jails in the
state but claims that Marathon county
has the finest, cleanest and safest jail
of any he has yet seen, and he is greatly
pleased with the town. The Bertllion
system, he says, is coming into use
more each day, and in few years,
when it has been adopted by
more of the smaller cities, it will be al
most impossible fora a criminal to escape.
At Waupun there are over 5000 cards
with descriptions of men and women of
this class. all so arranged in cabinet
that man can be looked up on short
notice. Quite frequently he las found
men in the Wisconsin prison who have
either escaped frorI or are wanted in
cities of Other states for crimes they
have committed. He notifies the
ofncials of these towns and the prisoner
is re-arrested and returned, as soon as
his Wisconsin sentence has expired.
Public sentiment, be says, is too often
with the criminal and justice is thereby
cheated, AS an incident he related a
story of prisoner recently brought to
Waupun by the sheriff of Marquette
county. The man was nice appear
ing fellow, and had the recommends
tion of the sheriff and the people of the
county, who asked for lenient treat
ment. Though the crime committed
was one that warranted long term in
the penetentiary, he got a very light
sentence. AS soon as he arrived at
Waupun, and was measured and photo
graphed, it was found that he was an
old crook, and had served time in pris-
ons in great many other states. Ed
ward Ratigan one of the Amherst bank
robbers captured here, and who later
escaped from Waupun, he says is back
in prison. Mr. Campbell returned to
Waupun Sunday evening.

The Marathon County Telephone
Company's Lines Being
Tempered With.

The Marathon County Telephone
company is having considerable trouble
with persons breaking of insulators
along their line allowing the wire to
drop down from the fastenings and
thus cutting off service in most in
stances. 1t is thought that this is be-
ing done by boys, who find the glass
projections first class mark for rifles or
rocks. In some places it has been found
that trees have been feiled across the
line, making no end of trouble. This
must be stopped and the officers are
determined to stop it if they have to
until the miscreants are caught
and made to pay dear for their
rascality. There is state law bearing
upon this and the company has had
large notices printed of it, together
with reward, and the same will be
posted up on the poles along the lines
ia the county. The following is the
notice which all will do well to heed,
viz:

STILL AT IT.

Last week we mentioned the fact of a
number of boys being hauled up before
the court for the offiense of throwing
stones through the car windows of the
st. Paul train. At their hearing all
plead not guilty except one but when
the case of the others was called for
trial Wednesday they, two, entered
pleas of guilty and were fined 81 and
costs, which the parents paid. The
first boy which was the largest one of
the bunch, had bis fine reduced from
$40 to IS in consideration that he gave
the information leading to the arrest of
the others. This it was thought, would
be warning to others, but it appe ars
the presumption was false. On the
following evening as the south-bound
train was pulling away from the water
tank another party of boys pelted it
with stones and then ran away. While
no one was injured the stones did con-
siderable damage. Several windows
were broken one being large orna-
mented glass in the sleeping car.
sklei practices must be stopped be-
fore some man, woman or child is in
jured. If anyone bears a grudge
against the company, and employees
their children to do this work out of a
spirit of a revenge, it is very poor
way of getting even. 1t may be pos
sible that the company may find re-
course to adopt the same plan as ap-
piled by the Wisconsin Central road at
Stevens Point of keeping one OF more
special policemen in the yards at all
hours

A POpe's Work for Prison Reform.

What is known in the United States
System" Of prison discipline was first
introduced by Pope Clement IX. In
17O4 that iOntiff reared an institution
in Rome and established Il plan of
prison discipline which is practically
the same as the Auburn System Of the
present day; that is, a separate cell i'm
prisonment by night, and silent asso-
ciated labor by day. The pope's in
stitutiOn was known as ST. Michacl's,
and over the door was the inscription:
''For the reformation and education OF
the criminal that those who,
when idle, had been injurious to the
state might when better instructed
and trained, become useful to it."
Inside this prison slab bore this in.
scription:
ut is Of little use to restrain crimi-
nails by punishment unless YOU reform
them by education
