The Prison Shop Deal

Warden Henry Wo1fer, of the state
prison is placed in a very unfavorable
light by the statements of w. b. Jor-
dan, who had the prison shoe contract.
Mr.. Jordan plainly charges Mr. Wolfer
with being interested financially in the
contract and full explanation proves
that Wolfer is drawing something be-
sides his salary as a result of his posi-
ton. The recent resignation of Wolfer
and his subsequent reappointment, to-
gether with the facts, indicate clearly
that Wolfer's connection with the shoe
contract is certain. Mr.. Jordan re-
views the history fully, and it is a Sc
rious reflection upon the integrity of
Mr.. Wolfer. The accusation is not one
which directly reflects upon the board
of control, and yet they invite censure
as they did in their coal contract, by
refusing to take the public into their
confidence. 1t looks much like a politl-
cal scandal, and, aside from the ST.
Paul clio e, the Twin City papers.
seem to be trying to hush things UP
for political purposes. One thing is
certain, the board of control should re-
move Mr. Wolfer, pending a thorough
investigation, and, failing to do this,
will simply add to the belief that the
whole affair is very rotten mess
st. Peter Herald.
Warden Welfer emphaticalIy denies
the charge that he is now or ever has
been in any manner connected with the
shoe contract at the state penitentiarg
Considering the mysterious circum
stances connected with his resignation
and its subsequent withdrawal, it viii
take more than his unsupported denial
to convince the people of the state
that there have not been some shady
transactions in the management Of the
saltwater prison that will not bear the
light of day.-Sauk Center Avalanche.
No man should be condemned with
out full hearing. Consequently let us
not yet say that Warden Wolfer. of the
state penitentiary, has been interested
in the corporation which has the con-
tract for Minnesota's convict labor, NO
matter what our opinions may be.
However, we look for a vindication and
q ignation.-W abasha Herald.
The explanation made by Warden
Wolfer will always make him an OBJ
ject of suspicion as being a CRATER. IT
is a pity that man OF his character
and ability should be obliged to make
the kind of explanation which leaves
such a bad taste in the mouth.-Wright
County Times.

!. DRAIN THE LAND.

Wet land should be drained, as it
may be the most fertile on the farm.
BY the use Of drain tile there will be
no unsightly open bitches. and the
field can be cultivated as easily as any
other. If the land is not very wet the
cost Of drainage will be but little. and
such land will be just as valuable for
pasture as before, with the added ad.
vantage Of being adapted to . greater
variety of grasses than formerly. 1t
can then also come under the regular
crop rotation. II a plot has been too
wet to use for ordinary crops it will
also be too wet for grass some years.
and when drained 1t will produce green
food earlier in the spring and later IN
the fall.

POTATOES NEED SPRAYING.

No one can now afford to raise pota.
toes without the use Of the bordeaux
mixture and q spray pump; we always
spray twice and sometimes four times,
according to the season We use a
common force pump set in q kerosene
barrel mounted on the front wheels
OF . lumber wagon, which requires
two men to handle, one to drive the
horse and the pump" and the other
to handle the hose. This outfit will
spray from three to four acres the
0rst time when the tops are small.
and from two to three acres after the
tops are full grown. But in order to
be effective the spraying must be done
early as the mixture is a preventative
and not Z cure for the blight. We In
variably mix paris green with the .bor-
deaux mixture for the first application
to destroy the bugs.
This method Of c~ultivating the 20.
tato crop I have adopted after years
Of experiments in all kinds Of soil and
under . great variety Of climatic condi-
lions. But in order to be successful 1t
must be thoroughly done in every par
eiculAr, the ridges must be straight
and even and Of uniform depth. and
the narrowing both before and after
planting must be done at the proper
times, In order to destroy the weeds
and encourage the growth Of the
plants.

success and failure, but IL all the on-
ditlous ere observed 1t IL astonishing

BURNS MURDER TRIAL.
Defendant is Confused on Witness
Stand-Admitted Buying Revolver.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Oct. 13.-Interest in the
Burns murder case yesterday centered
entirely around the testimony OF
Charley Burns the defendant. intro
duced after the state had rested. The
examination of a few unimportant wit
nesses occupied the time until o'clock
when Burns took the stand, and for
two solid hours the defendant an
swered a rapid fire of questions.
The defendants attorney, A. B.
Switzer, gradually drew the story of
the crime, according to Burns from
him, after which the witness as
turned over to A. B. Lovejoy. assistant
county attorney. 1t was during this
latter examination that Burns was led
to make some drastic statements. He
acknowledged having purchased a re-
volver on the day of the tragedy but
denied the intention of shooting Bart
lett Stone or anyone else He wanted
the revolver, he said. to take west with
him. and went to the house where the
trouble occurred, because the barn door
where his clothes were secured was
locked.
Burns then described the shooting,
claiming that Stone had released the
trigger In each instance. Burns was
quite badly confused on some particu-
lars, and his cross-examination was
but partially finished at o'clock.
His testimony will be concluded
some time tody.
