GO Keep Prisoners Busy

The man who doesn't want to
be kept very busy, and who OBJ
jects to a job in which the charac-
ter of the work is very uncertain,
will do we'll to keep out of Mimi
esota's state prison, as things look
in. the legislature at this writing.
In addition to the many kinds of
work done there now, it is pro-
posed to add the manufacture of
farm implements and machinery,
to send prisoners out to crush
stone and work on highways, and
other sorts of work that may occur
to some legislator to suggest. The
intention evidently is that the
traditional satanic influence upon
idle hands" shall be reduced to
the minimum in the "gentlemen's
club" at Saltwater. Farm, Stock

Hboli$b Banging.

There is a possibility that the
legislature may repeal the law
providing for capital punishment
in this state and provide for life
Imprisonment instead. The COM
mittee on Crimes and Punishment
seems favorable to such propo-
sition.
Warden Henry Wolfer of the
state prison was before the house
committee on Crimes and Punish
ment. There was hearing on the
bills, one providing for all hang
ings to be at the state prison and
the other providing that electrocu-
ton should take the place of hang-
ing also at the state prison.
Warden. Wolfer addressed the
committee on the general subject.
He not only took the position that
such executions should not take
place in the prison and especially
at its present quarters but took the
further attitude that capital pun
ishment should be abolished. His
theory is that under the ad-
vanced ideas of penology humanity
suggests the abolition Of putting
people to death by either hanging
or electrocution for crimes against
the state laws.
After a full discussion Of the
two pending bills it was the sem
timent that by common consent
the authors of the two bills should
be given leave to withdraw their
measures. us
The sentiment of the committee
seemed to be in favor of preparing
II new bill, providing for abolish
ing capital punishment and to re-
port such measure, when drawn
and considered, to the house with
q recommendation that it be
passed. Saltwater Gazette.

The Beaumont Oil Field.
Continued from page four.)

had been affected by the Kingston
earthquake. and some say the San
Francisco earthquake left it's mark
on this field. Beaumont's field, so
oil men say, was simply vast I'M
derground lake of oil and has been
traced as far north as Kansas.
No one can even hazard a guess
as to what areas these deposits
cover, but nearly every year marks
new oil producing territory. 1t
costs from three to five thousand
dollars to sink and equip~a we'll,
and oil was found at about two
thousand three hundred feet at
Beaumont.
The first night I arrived here l
could not procure a bed, and [
was not the only one. Alongside
of me sat gentleman from Buff
falo. This gentleman and I be-
came fairly we'll acquainted. One
year later | saw this man washing
dishes in local restaurant for a
living and know from good author
ity that this man lost $4,000.
One day soon after the discov-
cry two actors drifted into town.
For fifteen years these men had
been going broke regularly in the
theatrical profession. They Ger
tainly had their rabbits foot work
ing when they landed here, for
they have large holdings.
Here's another case that always
made me feel good. It's the story
of an old Missouri farmer who
sold his farm up in Missouri and
fastened to Beaumont with his
savings and very soon was on init
mate terms with a benevolent gen.
tleman who sold land. This gen.
tleman speedily convinced this old
man from Missouri that his little
bank roll would only be fair ex-
change for some land rich in oil.
This land shark effected the sale
and of course fully believed he
had got something for nothing
until one day fine we'll was re-
ported on this land. The old
Missouri farmer sold out for sew
eral times the amount of his in
vestment and with proper good
sense quit the oil business for
good. There are many such tales
of fortune and misfortune that
happened here. It is with genu-
inc regret / notice the gradual
and final decline of Beaumont and
its great oil industry. It undoubt-
eddy would have been in few
years the Metropolis of Texas.
It is certainly an awful ending for
q city that had SO much power
and bright prospects. 1891.
