Our Des Moines Letter.
From Our Special Correspondent.

Several of the most important
measures of the session have come
up during the past week. Some
passed, others met a more unkindly
fate. All provoked much discussion
and therefore aroused great interest.
One of the most important of
those that passed is bill for an act
to provide for indeterminate SEN
fences for criminals and to create a
board Of parole with power to
adopt and enforce rules for paroling
prisoners-and for the government Of
the same. This bill says that when
a person is tried for felony and
found guilty, the court instead of
sentencing him to definite term Of
Imprisonment shall fix a minimum
and maximum term for which such
person may be held in the peniten-
tiary, those guilty of treason on.
murder in the first degree being
excluded from the list. To execute
the provisions of this act a Board of
Parole is created consisting of three
members Of which the governor
shall be ex-otiicio a member. The
Parole Board will have authority to
parole such prisoners at it's discre-
ton and to retakc the same if the
parole is violated. No person is to
be Iaroled before the expiration Of
the maximum sentence unless there
is evidence that he will be given
honorable employment for six
months successfully thereafter.
Saunders, who took charge of the
bill OH the floor of the Senate, made
a mastery plea for the measure,
showing that by such means, the
guilty may be punished and at the
same time may be furnished an in
ducement to reform. This bill too
will give legal status to the parole
system which is practiced by the

Sealskin is admired the world over for

by pestiferous parasite that saps the

fatal to the dandruf germ. Without dam

AN ANECDoTE OF DIsRAELI.

About one o'clock in the morning,
shortly after the return of the Earl
from Berlin, bearing peace with
honor" I left the press gallery of the
House to go to the cable office. Passing
a stand in the lobby, where a stoop-
shouldered woman was won't to sell
spirits and soft drinks, dropped in
to line with half a dozen men, and
waited my turn to be served. paid no
attention TO the man directly in front
of me, except to notice that he was
hatless, and to comment mentally upon
the dangers of such conduct in that
cold and draughty place.
''Sixpenny orth O. brandy, neat" said
the broad-shouldered little man direct
ly ahead. The dame courtesied, an un-
usual attention to a customer, served
the spirits, and the purchaser drained
the glass at gulp.
Put it on the book said the Gus
toner, as he replaced the glass upon
the counter. Then he turned, facing
me, and made his way through the
crowd, toward the House of Lords
The man was unnoticeo In the badly
lighted corridor, although his name
was ringing throughout the civilized
worId-the Earl of BeaconsfieId!
The interesting feature of this cpl
sode was not that his lordship took a
drink of brandy during a long nights
session, but that he had an account
with the woman tap-keeper. and from
sheer force of habit had walked over
to the Commons end of Westminster
Palace to get his brandy neat" at the
familiar place.
