You want to know why "Colonel"
Chas. Humphrey has not been pro-
NOTED: Because the Brigadier-Gen-
eral had no in his tent.
1t was too bad that Lit. Prince had
to be on duty on just the night when
his best girl gave a lawn party for
him. But such is a soldiers life.
We were delighted. to have so
many guests on Sunday. Jesse, the
cook, outdid himself and every one
pronounced the "eating' fine.
Among the welcome visitors at the
Captains tent on Sunday was Col.
w. b. Fort and party Of Pikeville.

appearance at Inspection. Such was
the general commeRt.-

our sedate Captain tripping the light

The genial Col. JOS. E. Robinson
was sadly missed at camp. Express
sions of regret were general because
Of his absence.
The conduct of the entire company
was most exemplary. Not a man
in any way disorderly and not one
man in the guard tent the entire
time is again our proud record.
Those of our boys who have e
service in the regular army were
much in demand to sing the Uncle
Sam army song which is so cbarac-
teristie and catchy.
When camp broke Friday morn
ing everyone left reluctantly. With
one last look around at the place
where we had spent such a delight
full time, the hope was generally eX-
pressed that the encampment OF 1905
might be as full of fun, free from
care, profitable and pleasant as that
which has just come to an end.

EFFECT is BAD ALL AROUND
!dlcncss of State Prisoners Does Not
Prevent Competition.

y man who had Il talk with Warden
Murphy, OF Joliet penitentiary, the
other day. says that in consequence
of the new law forbidding contract
labor in the penitentiarieS he is up
against a very hard proposition. Mr..
Murphy related that there are some
GOO persons in the prison and that
under the new law he has nothing for
the prisoners to do. He can give en-
ployment 20 400 about the grounds.
The rest must remain in idleness.
Thus far all the exercise that they
have has been the military drill given
them daily on the grounds. AS there
is nothing for them to do. they must
remain in their cells all the rest of
the time.
Imagine yourself" said the warden
to his visitor. shut up in one of those
small cells all day during such wealth
er as this. The thought is enough to
drive a man to desperation. 1t is sim
ply TO swelter and do nothing. The
men can not stand it. Their health
Will fail and they will go crazy"
The warden then spoke of the in
crease in The death rate in consc-
quence OF this idleness and cOnfine-
ment in the cells during day time.
The effect on the mental condition of
the prisoners is terrible. Then while
they are thus shut up in their cells
in idleness they are bringing nothing
to the state and are being supported
by the taxpayers in this condition.
They are earning nothing toward their
own support.
1t was learned by the visitor that
while the making of contract labor
goods in the Illinois penitentiaries
had been stopped, there is no law
against the shipping of other goods in
here from other states. The result is
that there are large shipments into
Illinois of the goods that are made in
the penitentiaries of other states. The
warden said that of the goods made in
Illinois prisons in the past a large pro-
portion of them were shipped into
other states. Now the free labor of
the state has to compete with the
prison goods made in other states. The
warden considered the problem of
what to do with the prisoners a very
difficult one.

Marks important Change in West

With a new time card effective Sun
day. July 10, the Chicago. Milwaukee,
& St. Paul railway eliminates two
hours and forty-fiye minutes from the
running time OF passenger trains be
tween Chicago and Denver.
Under the schedule that has been
prepared. the Overland Limited train,
operated Jointly by the Union Pacific
and the St. Paul, reduces its time
between the two cities from Is hours
and 40 minutes to 2G hours.
The distance between Chicago and
Denver is considerably over 1000
miles, WHICH means a rate of abo"t
forty miles an hour for the entire dis
lance.
Eastbound the time is cut even
deeper than westbound. three fun
hours being eliminated from the seized

By the Encouragement the Overland
Limited of the St. Paul road leaves
Chicago at Cos p. m. and arrives in
Denver at O'Clock the following
night. Eastbound the train leaves
Denver at APO p. m. and arrives in
Chicago ct 9:55 p. III. the next day.
To line up with the new schedule
the train that left Chicago at 9:45 Il.
IN. is operated only as far as Omaha,
and it's leaving hour from Chicago is
changed from 9:45 a. m. to 7:15 u. m.
The reduction of time between Chi
