COnvict-Cut Stone Will
Be Used.

eff the Legislature has the sand
convict-cut stone will be used in
constructing the proposed new
state prison at Saltwater" said J.
F. jacobson last Friday, while ap-
pearing before the House ap-
preparation committee.
''The labor unions may object,
and refuse to work on the struc-
ture it such stone is used, as they
did on the new state capitol, but
the state Board of Control stands
ready to use such stone," he con-
tinued. "The state would save
considerable money. and tn Q
amount that we are asking for
could be considerably reduced
Mr.. jacobson was before the
committee to explain as to the
amount that will be needed to
purchase the land and begin the
construction of prison that is
destined to eventually accommo-
date 1000 prisoners. He had ex-
planned that it is the purpose of
the Board of Control to first erect
wooden walls, following this with
the erection of dollhouse. This,
it is estimated, with the cost of
the necessary land and machinery,
will cost from $780, 900 to 500, 900.
Buildings and cellhouses are to be
gradually added until there is suf-
fcent cell room, when it is plan
ned to build the administration
building. For the present the
Board has only determined that
the prison should be in a general
location, and is in a position to
approximately state what the land
win cost.

February School Report.

The Deputy Warden's monthly
school report to Warden Wolfer
shows that there were 10 sessions
held during the month. At the
opening session 1859 pupils were
in attendance. The average at
tendance during the month was
l67; the highest, ITO, the lowest,
l65. The average compulsory
attendance of prisoners ON the re-
formatory plan was 80, and the
voluntary attendance 1875.
During the month four pupils
were temporarily excused by the
physician; the Deputy Warden
temporarily excused two and two
were permanently excused from
attendance. Six pupils were en-
rolled. during the month and seven
we're discharged from the institu-
ton.
The February report shows very
gratifying results, not a single
pupil being reported for breach of
institutional rules or for lack of
interest in school work.

as the author phrased it. Replete
with historical data this paper was
keen and incisive In it's thrusts
anent certain conditions peculiar
to the Windy City, and the ensu-
ing discussion was not devoid of
humorous interest-pa particularly
the Heliogram man IS characteristic
discourse relative to the stock
yards as a health resort.
The concluding number, by
class D man, was an excellent trea-
tise on Banking. A model of
good English, clear and concise in
it's treatment of the subject mat
ter, the paper proved to be both
interesting and instructive. The
critic voiced the belief that such
papers should be welcomed for,
notwithstanding that the members
were temporarily doing business
with the bank of experience, the
subject of banking was one that
could not be too we'll understood.
The meeting closed with the crit
les report, prior to which the pres
ident announced that the several
papers, heretofore read, dealing
with the immigration question
had borne unexpected fruit, and
that four weeks hence Pendennis
and A. Ksar Ben would formally
discuss the matter in a Joint de-
bate. G. E. H.-SECRETARY.

Our Band.

We have a big brass band in here,
Manned by our prettiest boys;
They make for us on Sundays
A rather pleasing noise.
We also have an orchestra,
The finest in this land;
Between the two its hard to tell
Which has the upper hand.
But both have inconsistencies,
That if explained might tell
Us why, while under lock and key
They play 1.-THE Liberty Bell.''
Or when around the shops we tramp,
Just shortly after dawn,
That Goodnight Old Kentucky
Should make us stretch and yawn.
Or when our sermons ended with
A plea to cease the vile,
That orchestra invites us all to 60
To "Dear Little COney Isle.'
We do not like these bars in front,
Yet the orchestra will grind
And ask us why not stay in here,
And always be "The Man Behind"
So when we lift our rusty cup
To drown our past; our woes;
Be thankful that the band don't play
''Down where the Budweiser flows"

ON FORGERY CHARGE

Major j. S. Murphy was ar
rested Wednesday evening,
charged with forgery, on COM
plant OF VIM. Crowder, road
oyerseer and treasurer Of Ross
township. Crowder claims that
Murphy forged his name to a
road receipt amounting to
1921. Is, on Sept. 8 and claims
that he did not actually get the
money until the following Feb
ruary. Murphy is also charged
with forging the name OF Harry
Hardy to the road receipt for
Manitou township for a similar
amount. Murphy claims that
the deal was a political one but
others say it is not. Murphy's
hearing was held before Judge
Davis on Monday, but was con-
tinued until next Monday.
Major Murphy was agent for
the Great Northern in distribu-
ting their money in the various
townships, for the Improvement
of roads. Crowder claims that
Murphy handed him $50 of the
money furnished for his township
by the Great Northern and he be-
lieving that this was all that
was coming to the township,
gave Murphy a receipt for this
amount. CrOwder as treasurer
OF the township says he was sur
prised to see a road receipt turn
up for the amount of SPILLS
which he never signed. A
question arises, "Did someone
forge a road receipt" And this
leads to a second question, ''Did
Major Murphy forge the receipt"
That matter remains to be
proved.
1t is claimed that there are
thirteen such cases in the county
and that they will be brought
into court, one after another.
Major Murphy looks at the
matter lightly. He says that the
railroad company always de-
mands a receipt before the
money is turned over, and that
Crowder got the money as soon
as he asked for it.
