many sections of the valley have had

yellow from the wet.
None Of the grain is as forward as

Takes His Life.

ency drove Clark Miller, a l9-year,old
boy, to suicide by shooting himself in
the temple, Saturday evening.

thought he was improving. He came
home from work Saturday evening as

COKE" FIEND FoRGER
Victim of Drug Has Been Passing Bad
Checks.

Paul. G. Kelley, St. Paul boy, driven
almost to desperation by the use Of CO.
caine, is the mysterious forger who has
given the police so much trouble in the
last month. He was arrested Saturday
by Detectives Helm and Hansen, and
after he was locked up he admitted that
he has flooded the city with bad checks
for several weeks.
He says his whole trouble is due to
the vicious drug habit. He was at one
time in the navy and was given cocaine
while in the hospital. He acquired the
habit, and since has spent all his money
for it.

day of dry bread and water is past in
the city bastlle
Great long white tables, spotless and
subjected to the scrub brush after each
meal, are supplied with a reasonable
quantity of wholesome food three times
daily, the evening meal being the meat
dinner and most popular with the
prisoners.
The cooking is given especial atten-
ton and no "kicks" are ever registered
on this score. The kitchen, like the
dining room, is notable because of its
cleanliness. The "chefs" are selected
from among the "trusties," prisoners
who have seen service as cooks In
restaurants and hotels, which provides
against the unwholesome preparation
of food for the prisoners.
The bull ring" where men i'm
prisoned for minor offenses sleep, is Il

Each cot is fitted with complete set Of

This also is in striking contrast to the

in other jails.
