One of the inmates of this place
who has been here only three
months, has gained the confidence
of a pair of mice. They are be-
coming very tame and he has
taught them several stunts, one of
which is to carry his socks out of
his cell evenings and return them
in the morning. If these mice

January School Report.

The following is Deputy Warden
Glennon's school report for the
month of January: Number of
sessions held during the month,
IL. At the beginning of the
month the attendance was ITO.
The average attendance during
the month was 1859, and the highest,
173.
There were seven pupils en-
rolled during the month and six
pupils, who attended school, left
on expiration of sentence. The
interest in school work is still
great, not one of the pupils being
reported for lack of attention dur
ing school hours.

NEW PRISON BILL.
Measure Brought Forth ir
Both Houses TUESDAY,.

At joint meeting of the senate
and house prison committees last
Friday the provisions of bill for
the enlargement of the Saltwater
prison we're agreed to, and the bill
will be introduced in both houses
Tuesday, Jan. 81.
s. W. Leavett, Of the Board of
Control, and Warden Henry
Wolfer, of the Saltwater prison,
were present at the joint CON-
Inittee. A draft of bill had
been previously prepared by sub
committee, and it was amended in
only minor particulars in the CON-
mittee. The bill will appropriate
not to exceed one half of the net
earnings of the Saltwater prison
for each fiscal year, beginning
with the present year. for the pur-
chase of land and the erection of
suitable building in which will
be installed some new industry.
Provision is made for the build
ing of a stockade and the installa-
ton Of a light and heating plant.
1t is planned to build three
story structure, and the prisoners
employed in the industry will be
taken from the trusty men and
will occupy the third floor of the
building as dormitory.
Senator II. w. Stone amended
the bill to make the area of land
purchased to be not less than 100
acres. 1t is planned to eventually
remove the prison from it's present
location to the new site.
The Board of Control is au-
thorized to make the purchase of
land, and it is said that several
sites are available within mile of
the present institution. The Still
water prison last year earned $780,
600, and on this basis the Board
of Control would have $43, 1000 to
expend in the purchase of the
necessary land and the erection of
the new building.
Senator E. w. Durant, of Still
water, and Representative John
Zelch, of Cottage Grove, Wash
ington County, will introduce the
bill in the senate and house re-
spectively.

the device OF crossed signal flags,
designating his rank and corps,
had not lost their gloss nor color.
So splendid were they in his eyes
that he had become almost cross
eyed from the efforts he made to
gaze upon those ornaments and to
look straight to the front at the
same time. From the loading of
our rations, camp equipage and
tools, to our departure from the
post, he had tried to impress upon
the party that he, and only he,
was 1T.
This usurpation of authority
was resented by the infantry SER
geant actually in command and
they clashed. But to tell of their
chickering's would be an endless
tale. Let it suffice to say that be-
tween them they made things
interesting, in more ways than one,
for us buck-soldlers. To add in
suit to injury they, in a momen-
tary trust, decided to have
separate tent and to mess by them
selves. This was resented by the
privates. Not particularly be-
cause we desired the company of
these high and mighty non-coms.,
but because they, who were of the
ranks yesterday and might be
again tomorrow, assumed such
airs of superiority. Then the dozen,
a fine round number for con-
spiracy, began to plot. Of course
we performed our duty and made
no objections to any of their

change had taken place, however,
in the conduct of the two nom
CONS, nor had we achieved our
wishes as to taking these gentle
men down a peg. Then we met
party of Indians, traded some
and sow-belly for some
venison and went on our way re-
joicing. That night we had
venisen steaks In plenty and the
next day had stew of the ribs
and such pieces as would not broil.
Our worthy commanders still ate
by themselves and it was then
that the fertile brain of Private
"Runty" Duckett blossomed forth
and bore fruit.
He had purchased. from the
Indians, dog of the genus cur.
Why he bought the dog no one,
not even Runty, knew, unless it
was that he had money and could
not spend it any other way. Runty
was our cook pro tenn, and kept
the stew for the sergeants away
from that he served to US. Sew
eral times he was called upon to
their plates and at last
told them that there was little
left and that little not very good.
AS the first lot was excellent they
could not see why the balance had
lost that quality and imperiously
demanded the rest.

just one piece of meat left and if
youse want that why I guess
youse'll have to have it."
