For the first time in ten years at
least, if not In the history Of the state
there were no commitments to the
state penitentiary In Anamosa during
the Nionth OF June. The repcrt to the
governor Of the commitments whicll
reacted the executive office yesterday
is blank piece of paper. The COM
mittments to the penitentiary for tel,
years have been as follows: 1896, i:
1897. 3; 1898, s; 1899, 6: 1900, IA: 1901,
s. 1902, 8; 1903, Z; 1904, 3; 1906, 0.
On account OF the fact that such a
ridiculously low rate to Denver has
been secured by the G. A. r. 1T Is ex-
pected that the crowd that will go on
the excursion to the encampment VIII
be an enormous one. The rate Is 1890
for the round trip and the rate for the
Epwerth League convention which is
now being held was 1880. Such low
rate was never secured before by any
organization, to Denver from this city
and the friends of Capt. Pickle of this
city who secured this rate are highly
pleased at his efforts. Plans are being
made with the expectation that the
crowd will be enormous. The rate
holds good for a long period and eth.
er for the excursion train or the reg
ular trains.

state and the annual picnic which Is
held is large affair.
