imous opinion is that very neat
job was turned out. The halftone
cut on the FIRST page showed upl
almost as we'll as il it had BEEN
printed on good quality of fine
book paper. Evidently the Ga.

for the elect.
Mr.. M. G. Colligan entered the
employ of the prison as a guard in
1880. For ten years he was As
sistant Deputy Warden and for
the past two years has been acting
and active Deputy. He said he
had no plans for the future other
than to take a rest.-Stillwater
Gazette.
Mr.. L. S.. formerly editor of The
Mirror who was granted parole
at the March session Of the State
Board of Control left this institu-
ton for his new field of labor on
Thursday last. He will follow in
practically the same line of work
in which he was engaged here.
The position he obtained is a very
good one. Before leaving he said
he carried away with him the very
kindest feelings toward all the Off
GERS and inmates.
Uncle Isaac seems to have stirred
up hornets nest over the subject
of socialism. Controversialism
may develop some latent talent
among the local residents. Letters

abuse is not argument and are eau
toned not to hurl epithets at those
who may differ with them on all
struse propositions regarding soci-
ology. In another column will be
found communication from Mr..

thing to say on this subject. II

Warden Wolfer delivered an adj.
dress on Modern Prison Problems
at the First Methodist Episcopal
Church of Saltwater on Friday
evening last in which he reiterated
his views on this subject. Mr.
Wolfer advocated the indetermi
nate sentence plan. He says the
J most fragrant causes of crime are
} whiskey, narcotics, idleness ano
poverty and that the most poten'
+ force to prevent crime is to remove
the cause. That the saloon is the
meeting place of the criminal ane
the most accursed cause of crime
and all other moral disasters which
lead to crime. In his opinion the
: indeterminate plan will save the
criminal and not damn him.

The death is announced of Mr..
William FL. Dalrymple, who for
many years was the manager and
owner of the Dalrymple Comedy
Company. At the time of his
death he was 46 years ofage. Mr..
Dalrymple was known to many of
the inmates of this institution as
upon several occasions his company
appeared here and gave entertain
