Miss Minnie Scales, Daughter, Of J. II.
Scales, and Daniel DriscoIi, an Aged
Resident.
Special to Times Republican.
AclSley, Dec. 9.--Miss Minnie Scales,
daughter of j. H. Scales. prominent
attorney in Ackley, died here Tuesday
morning at Z O'clock, and the funeral
took place Thursday afternoon. It
was while attending Northwestern
University, at Evanston, that she was
taken with what is termed pernicious
anaemia. She was quiet and modest
in disposition, possessing a personality
that made friends everywhere she went
and was also a good student. 1t may
have been that in too closely apply
ing herself to her studies she contracts
ed the disease, and although receiving
the best medical treatment, she declin-
ed gradually. until a month ago she
| was taken to the hospital at Waterloo.
When the hopelessness of her case
became known to her parents, she was
brought home, where she passed away
surrounded by her relatives and
friends.
Daniel Driscoll, one Of the oldest RESI-
idents of Hardin county, died in an
asylum at Dubuque and his body ar
rived at Ackley where his funeral was
held today.
Mr.. Driscoll for many years lived on
a farm north of Ackley. After passing
that age when he was no longer able
to endure hard physical labor, he re-
moved to Ackley, his wife having died
while living on the farm. He married
again while living in town. and leaves
wife and several children. Mr.. Dris-
coll arrived at such an, old age that
his mind became affected and he was
taken to a private asylum for the aged
at Dubuque, about a year ago.

COFFIN'S NEW WORK
win Devote Hi. Time and Strength to
Vigorous Campaign in the State For
Prison Reform-Favors State Re-
formatory.
to Times-Republican.

special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodge, Dec. 9.-Hon. L. 8. Coz
An OF this city is now putting his en-
tire strength and great force OF char-
acter into a vigorous campaign OF the
state in the interest Of prison reform
He has been getting more and n1ore
into this work of late years and now
intends to devote practically his entire
attention to 1t.
It is the idea Of Mr.. Coffin to replace
one Of the prisons with ,reforma1ory
In which the younger criminals or the
f,rst offenders. shall be confined. The
object Of this change is to Keep the
bows and those that are In prison 1oi
the first time from associating with the
hardened criminals Of the penitenu-
ar,es and to do away with the demon
alizing influences that prevail undsr
the present system.
In the establishment of the reforlna-
tory everything will be arranged tend
Ing toward upiiAs9A6 ~ sAAS 49,
ures of the erring inmates OF the In
stitution. 1t will be the intention OF
the management to have the en-
vironment wholesome and heelthy
influence for good on the characters ON
those confined within Its walls. The
dreary, soul deadening routine OF 'prls-
ON life that tends rather to blot OUT the
little good that survives in the cldmi-
nal would be lacking in the reforma-
tory, and while it would be regarded as
a very severe punishment, and the
effect would be to establish a dread OF
confinement in the prisoner, there
would be more Of the atmosphere OF
the home in the reformatory, and all
OF the respect for self and the regard
for virtue would rather be increased
than knocked out Of the man.
1t is a great work that Father Cor
fin has engaged in, but he has been IN
great works Of this nature practically
all Of his life, and he is not discourag-
ed. While he is not as young as ne
once was and has not the bodily Wig
or even Of middle ago, he is goins
about his present undertaking with the
same determination that has made him
successful in other big reform moves
and there Is not much doubt that he
will succeed in his present work.
