gealed by the time one got to his

Altho- the present bathhouse is
getting small for the increasing
population, it is luxurious affair
compared to the one they had
fourteen years ago. There were
about four open shower baths, and
when ten to fifteen men were taken
over at a time, why the man who
could look real tough generally
got a fair bath. The timid jay
stood aside, or was elbowed out of
the wet.

the writer has seen the prison

a few remain. I have seen some

The same change is noticeable
among the officers and guards, for
only a few of them are still here.

things use to make me dream in
them days, but I spose it's the

think tank. Dreams are all rite,
but by gosh I PREFER the real
thing. Yes I do. It's awful dis
appointin' to hear a Teller calm
out, "Red lemonade, five cents a

that it's a chap up in niger heven
snorin' as if he was sawin' cord

what a Teller wants to snore fur
unless it's to let his friends no

if it's bin brought up in plainin'

from what it does today.
Everywhere there is a decided
change for the better. At that
time there were no lawns, no park,
and no trees. The population of
the prison was about 300. The
prisoners were employed by the
Minnesota Thresher Co., and a
few were employed by the state in
manufacturing tubs and pals.
Where the park is now located
there stood large, two-story frame
building, used as paint shop by
the Thresher company. In the
spring of 1891, and under Warden
~Garvin' s administration, this build
ing caught fire and was burned to
the ground, AS it was filled with
combustible material, such as var
nish, gasoline, and other oils, there
was great danger of the dollhouse
and the present shoe factory build
ing also burning. In fact the
window sashes in the rear Of the
dollhouse were burnt, as we'll as
those in the building now occu-
pied by the shoe factory.
The building now used for a
hospital and solitary department,
was unoccupied, it being only COM
pleted during the summer of 1890.
Previous to that time the hospital
was located where the first grade
dining room now is, and the re-
fractory prisoners were confined in
cells in the dollhouse. Those who
were here at that time remember
thow these "tuff guys use to make
the night hideous by yelling and
singing It was something fierce,
especially to the new arrival who
had to learn the routine of prison
life.
Instead of the present well-kept
lawns aud stately shade trees along
our main street, there were piles
of lumber, pieces of old threshlng
machinery, and occasionally a
number of completed threshers
awaiting to be shipped. Around
the west end of the dollhouse and
in the rear of the solitary build
ing, the ground was very muddy.
After rain this locality was a
veritable cesspool. Today 1t is all
changed. Those who had seen
the place at that time would hard
ly recognize this part of the yard
today. There was not speck of
shrubbery in the whole yard, and
the only place where anything
green was to be seen, was in the
paint shop.
At that time there was no grad
ing system. This feature of ad-
vanced penal life was passed
March 9th, 1898, and was inaug-
urated under Warden Wolfer's ad-
ministration. Before this time
stripes were the regulation cloth
ing issued. The stripes were per-
pendicular and horizontal. AS
luck would have it I drew pair Of
horizontally striped trousers and a
coat and vest with perpendicular
stripes. I looked hundred per
cent worse than I actually felt, be-
: cause the trousers were covered
with patches that stood out like a
! headlight on an engine. At this
period the institution had no
dining room for the prisoners, as
it has at the present time. In the
morning, before leaving their cells
for work, the prisoners breakfast
was first dished up in pans, placed
on cart, and then showed under
the celldoor as the man pushed
the cart before him. On those
Z, mornings that hash was issued, it
sometimes happened that a man
found ration on the bottom of
his pan as we'll as in it. Dinner
