OF coNVIcTs CONFINED IN
STATE PENITENTIARY.

The March report from the state
penitentiary at Walla Walla. jus1
submitted to the board of control by
Superintendent KEGS, also contains a
summary of the years financial ope-
rations of the institution for the twelve
months ending March 81, 1906, and
shows that it cost the state but an
average of $102.40 to feed, clothe, lodge
and guard each convict, to light and
heat the buildings, board and pay the
salaries of the officers and employees
and to nurse and give medical attend
ance to the sick and burial to the dead.
The total amount spent by the state
for food or subsistence supplies for the
twelve months averaged but $33.967
per convict or less than 10 cents a
day. This is all despite the fact that
the food is of excellent quality and
abundant.
The last contracts for six months
supplies let by the board included for
this institution, for instance, 5000
pounds of extra sugar, 5000 pounds
evaporated apples, 1900 pounds coffee,
5000 pounds beans, many cases of
canned corn, tomatoes, pears, peaches,
apricots, peas, shrimps, Holsters. lots
of chocolate, cocoa, coanut, raisins,
curants, rice and tapicoa, pearl bar
ley ETC., ETC. The best creamery but
ter is bought and the contracts call for
fresh fish each week. But by buying
in quantities and with sharp COMPETE
ton, the board is enabled to get low
prices.
Beef was secured for the prison at
an average of 5A cents per pound, and
veal, mutton and pork at 5k cents a
pound. In the twelve months just
ended there were consumed at the
prison 163,47S pounds of beef, 1887
pounds of veal, 21.371 pounds of NUT
ton and 2O,556 pounds of pork.
The report shows that on an aver
age clothing was issued to the con-
victs at cost of $500 for the year.
the fuel consumed was an average Of
$11OS, salaries averaged s322S, and
miscellaneous expenses $20.9S per con-
vict. The average daily number of
cOnvictS for the twelve months was
a fraction over 1853.

Post -Intelligencer reporter:
Il went to Walla Walla, where ]

winter wheat is not as much damaged
by our cold snap as has been report

off has the wheat been killed
EARLY peaches were destroyed, but
the later fruits are all right and was
in full bloom.
Every time I go to Walla Walla !
can see great improvements and adj
vancement. Large sums are being ex-
pended in beatifying the streets and
walks. Fine churches, school houses,
business blocks and residences are be-
ing erected yearly. ~.
alder street, which only a few years
ago was a residence district, has now
the finest four story brick buildings
in the city and is now a business
street; also the coming summer two
six-story blocks are promised.

LITTLE RAINFALL SINCE MARCH /
Weekly Weather Bulletin Says Def
cheney Has Been Remarkable for
This Region.

For the benefit of the farmers
throughout the state, the department
of agriculture will issue from the Seat
tie weather office every week, during
the growing period, publication that
will be known as the Weekly Weather
Bulletin which succeeds the crop bull
letin that the department has issued
weekly for several years past. The
crop features of the new publication
will be omitted but the weather data
are given in greater detail. The first
Weather Bulletin says:
The week ending Monday morning
April Is, 1900, was considerably above
normal in temperature, and decidedly
deficient in precipitation. The fore
part of the week was cool, with frosts
at night and in the early morning.
Light frosts in the warmer localities
and heavy frosts in the exposed local
tiles occurred on the morning of the
18th.
The temperature rose slowly, until
Saturday, the 14th, which was the
warmest day, and on which the max
imum temperatures were from 70 de-
grees to "a degrees in different parts
of the state. Sunday, the 18th, was
cloudy in the western division, and the
temperatures were nOticeably lower
Scattered showers occurred on that
day in the eastern counties. There
was an abundance of sunshine, and
there was no high winds during the
week.
The mean temperature was above
the normal during the first half of the
month, and the precipitation was no
tably deficient. On the 3rd and 5th

SPOKANE TEAM WON GAME

Yesterday Afternoon.
LOCALS DID SOME VERY GOOD WORK

FOR NINE SAFE HITS
MALoNEY LEADS.
LOCALS DID SOME VERY GOOD WORK

While none of the local fans ex-
pected the Boosters to win the ball
game from the Spokane league team,
they were surprised that the locals put
up 50 good a fight against their OPP
ponents. Notwithstanding the Boost
ers went into the game almost fright
ened out of their wits the team worked
we'll and made Dorsey's bunch play
ball to win the game. There was
enough hitting in the game to please
the most exacting fans and Walla
Walla came in for her share of the
stick work. Manager Stanley tried
two pitchers in the game and when
the contest was over the score book
showed that Wala Walla had made
four off of Simons and five from Rush
Maloney, who holds down the sec
ond bag for Walla Walla got three
hits in yesterdays game, two of them
being good for two sacks. Blackburn
pitched for Walla Walla and was
touched up for IA safe ones. He was
not in as good trim as when he
pitched against the Athena team last
week but was effective several times
during the game when Spokane had
the bases full.
Spokane has one of the best teams
that has ever represented that city and
will no doubt make a good showing in
the Northwest league. Almost every
man on the team is a good sticker and
each player knows how to handle the
ball.
The following figures taken from the
score will give the fans some idea how
the game was played:

Remember that sick kidneys cause
 more than half of women's sufferings. When backache. headache. dizziness, or
 bearing down pains torment you, when
 you are run down. tired, nervous, ask
 yourself this serious question: Are my
 kidneys well? Investigate-notice the
 urine for a day or two. Is it discolor-
 ed? Does it contain sediment? Are
 the passages too frequent or painful?
 Are you nervous and fretful, depressed
 and Ianguid? Any one of the above
 symptoms may be a direct result of
 disordered action of the kidneys, but
 thousands of women who suffer in this
 way have been led to believe that such
 troubles are peculiar to their sex. This
 is not true, for men who suffer kid
 ney troubles show the same symptoms. A womans life is one continual strain.

A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of mysteries, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposi- tion and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly.
 The ills of women act like firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous rostratiOn, ner- vous despondency, " the blues, sleep lessness. and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism.
 Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating. with extreme durability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying?
 Do you feel something like a ball ris- ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound I; pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders; bearing-down pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost continually cross and snappy?
 If so, your nerves are in shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prOstration.
 Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostra- tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound; thousands and thou sands of women can testify to this fact. Ask Hrs. Pinkham's AdYlCe-A ROm
