Would Demand a Bonus.

A spicy prison paper published BY
the convicts IN the Ohio state peni-
Tertiary has been forced TO suspend
publication because there is not now
. single printer among the convicts.
There arc enough bankers to handle
several big financial institutions,
plenty of lawys rs and doctors and
several preachers, but no printers.
Elbsrt Hubbard explains the ab-
ssnes of printers by saying that they
are the busiest people on earth, and
q busy man has no time to get into
mischief. Hubbard Ii right. The
msn who speeds his time in useful
hoaast effort is the last man to get
into trouble. But there is another
reason Why printers are so scarce in
prison. They handle 80 little money
that they never get contaminated
with the spirit OF graft and greed

Every institution calculated to
benefit the pIsople meets with opPo-
sition. One OF the late demonstrs-
tions of this sort, is the kick pub
lisbed in q Pueblo paper last week
against the building of the Arkansas
Valley Inter Urban Railway, which
company has been incorporated by
Hon. A. z. Bent, with other we'll
known citizens. Since the publ
cation of the article in question the
commercial bodies Of the valley
towns have expressed their apPio-
bstion OF the Bent company and
confidence in his statement that the
road is to be constructed and opera
ted. Tho great need of better trans
portation advantages for the people
OF the valley is too apparent to be
disputed and fhe sooner the oppo-
sition takes to the tall timber the
better will be its standing hereafter

VIII Be Tough on Some.

It is now the law in Colorado that
any person who shall take, steal and
carry away domestic, imported or
game fowl or fowls in the night
time from the premises upon which
the dwelling house of another is
situated, shall be deemed guilty Of
grand larceny and may be imprison-
ed in the penitentiary for one year.
Any body purchasing fowls known
to be stolen shall be likewise guilty.
Under this law a person would be
justified in shooting one providing
around his chicken coop in the night
time. This law is OF considerable
interest to some people in Lamar
and it would be we'll for them to
bear it in mind. Chickens are
sometimes stolen as a practical joke,
but it won't 60 any more if the joker
should be caught.

under sentence of death at the peni-
Tertiary, was today removed to the

old, and Is he was being conducted
to the execution house he remarked,
-sNow I am on the home stretch"
He is of . jovisl nature and has been
ever since his reception at the prison.
He apparently expects the SEN
tsnoe Of death to be carried out. He
has expressed no wish for q COM
mutation, neither is he asking for
any influence in his behalf. He
states that he has q father and
mother living, but he will not d.
vulge their identity. claiming that
they are Christian people and that
they will never suffer the disgrace
Of knowing that he died on the scat
fold. The prison officials do not ex-
pect johnson to be reprieved. He
receives daily visits from the chap
lain and so far has shown no dispo
sition to be unnerved by his ap.
prosohing death. johnson is the
msn who was hunted by posses all
over eastern Colorado and was finally
loostAd and captured in q school
house across the Kansas state line.

THEIR AID REFUSED
AMERICAN SAILORS ORDERED TO
QUIT KINGSTON BY Gov
ERNoR sWETTENHAM.

New York, Jan. 21.-The feature OF
the days news from Kingston. ia
maica, Is the declination OF Sir James
Alexander ~Swettenham, the governor
of Jamaica, to accept American aid
and the departure, in consequence. OF
the American warships under com
mand of Rear Admiral Davis.
~Swettenham's action appears not to
have met the views Of the people and
city officials of Kingston. 1t is re-
ported that the city council met after
the incident became known, promptly
disapproved the English governors
action and not only sent a letter OF
regret to Rear Admiral Davis, but
asked him to reconsider his decision
to leave and to remain with the Amer
lean ships, as every aid was still
urgently needed.
Davis He'd that he had no alter
native but to 90 In accordance with
the desires of the constituted authori-
ties.
English newspaper comment on the
incident is unanimous In regretting
the occurrence and in expressing the
hope that the good relations existing
between the United States and Great
Britain will not be endangered thereby.
