(Fhe following article was written by
reformed inmate of the pcnitcntlary at
Fort Madison)
What to feed and how to clothe the
prisoner best and cheapest is an ever
present stumbling block in the path
of every penal institution manager. 1t
is a source of constant worry and a
strain, and must be met and adjusted
TO given balance each month.
When it is understood that but nine
dollars the month per man is allowed
by the support fund one realizes what
close figuring must be done to keep
within the limit.
In the last ten years the prices of
provisions have risen nearly fifty per
cent. and material such as is used in
the WOODEN regulation uniforms worn
by the prisoners has advanced over
sixty per cent.
Despite the marked advance of
prices for foodstuffs and wearing ma
terials, the support fund has remained
the same and in consequence the
fund has been overdrawn at times
and. owing to. the steady rise in the
cost of these articles, it has been
found that the present appropriation
is inadequate to the need.
There are but few people, outside of
a small circle that are directly con-
nected with Iowa's penitentiary. who
realize the immense amount of food
required to give the four hundred and
fifty odd prisoners one meal. And
when 1t is known that these men
must be fed only strong muscle-build-
ing foods each meal in order to keep
them in working condition, it will be
admitted that the present administra-
ton has systematized the economy of
the dietary to the limit
A detailed list of the amount of
food consumed in one day is interest
ing. For breakfast there are 400
pounds Of liver, 100 pounds of oat-
meal. 200 pounds of bread. Is bushels
of potatoes, eight gallons of syrup, ten
pounds of coffee, one pound of salt
and pepper.
Dinner Is the largest meal of the
day. 1t consists of 300 pounds of

In addition to these changes an
other sweeping order was issued
which has directly affected every tax
payer and has worked a wonderful I'M
provement in the general appearance
OF the inmates. There is no doubt
that the collarless hickory shirt FUR
nished by the state has no equal as an
article of service. 1t withstands the
| toughest usage for long period, but
1t looks Fierce" to put it truthtully.
Especially is this true when it is in
evidence at chapel services. Because
Of the disappearance the privilege OF
| permitting the prisoners to purchase
dress shirts was granted. Over seventy
per cent. of the inmates took immedi.
ate advantage of the new order and
bought shirts and collars. This saw
ing amounts to considerable to the
taxpayer.
AS whole Iowa's prisoners at her
penitentiary will compare favorably
/ with the inmates of any like institu-
ton, but when dressed in their we'll
fitted uniforms, natty caps, boiled"
: shirts, collars and ties, the compari-
son is decidedly in favor of the Hawk
eye states prisoners.
Another item of considerable ex'
pense is that Of underwear. At pres
ent heavy grade of Canton flannel
is being used and it has proved quite
serviceable. With the exception Of
shrinking every time it is washed, 1t
is the best ever used there.
About 100 pairs of socks are knit
| ted every week, which keeps the de-
mand supplied and small stock for
emergency use. These socks are
| made of strong, heavy cotton yarn
and represent large saving in their
manufacture by inmate labor.
Most of the shoes worn by prison.
ers are cobbled by an inmate.
Every effort is made to keep the
cost of feeding and clothing the pris.
oners at a minimum, and the success
of the task is a matter of official rec.
ord and is silent but forceful testi.
| monial of the ability of the present
administration.

Concerning Or. Cook.

The father of DIR. Frederick A. Cook
was named Koch, and the name was
changed by error when he enlisted
in the army. He was born in Ger.
many and practiced medicine in New
York. The younger Cook, who now
lives In Brooklyn, was born in New
York in 1865. and was graduated from
the medical department of the Uni
yersity OF the City of New York in
1896. but was not actively engaged in
the practice of medicine.-lndianap

MONDAY Lunch for Outside Gang.
| boiled meat, 90 bushels of potatoes,
| 800 pounds of bread, eight gallons OF
syrup, ten bushels of onions, tomatoes
or seasonable vegetables, 40 gallons
of water gravy and ten pounds of cot
| fee, salt and pepper.
A light supper concludes the days
rations. 1t includes 20 bushels OF
fried potatoes, 200 pounds Of corn
| bread, eight pounds of tea, six gallons
of syrup; and the surplus of the din
ner is served to avoid holding and
chance of spelling. All surplus beef
cuts and meats of all kinds are used
in stews and soups. avoiding all waste
of disable material.
Every day the bill of fare is changed
according to supplies on hand. Con-
sidering the statistics CLEANED from
the biennial report, great credit Is due
the management, for it is officially
recorded that the cost of feeding each
prisoner has been but $500 per month
The problem of clothing the pris-
oners presents new phase which to
overcome has greatly taxed the pres
ent administration. The laws of Iowa
require that the inmates of its penal
institutions be clothed in a regulation
uniform of blush gray wooden ma
terial This make of goods Is quite
high priced and Is furnished by spe-
, cial contract. ....
Under former administrations the
clothes were not cut to fit any certain
prisoner, consequently the inmate
was indeed lucky who did not receive
slouchy, baggy suit. This deficiency
existed in spite of the fact that the
state paid a monthly salary to a pro-
fessional tailor. Warden Sanders saw
the need at glance and ordered that
from that date each prisoner at ar
rival should receive a tailor-made suit.
and, further, as soon as the old stock
became unfit for further wear 1t
should be replaced with tailor-made
suits. The change alone has saved
Iowa taxpayers several hundred dol
| lars already, and It is fact that a
| well-fitted suit will outwear two suits
of ready-made misfit clothes.

Woman Grand Opera comnose,.

Miss Ethel Smyth, an Englishwom-
an, has composed grand opera and
she has been honored by its perfor-
nance before the king. Miss Smyth
is daughter of Gen. Smyth, one of
the heroes Of the Indian mutiny. Most
OF her studying was done In Leipsic.
There she met Tschaikowski, who in
one of his letters expressed this pro-
phetic opinion: Miss Smyth is one
of the few women composers who may
be seriously reckoned amoEs the
workers in this sphere OF music" The
first of Miss Smyth's compositions
was played In concert in 1890. and
her opera comes after an interval OF
10 years. The concert composition
was serenade.

Opening of Fort
Berthold Reservation

Washington, May 22.-Preliminary
steps with view to opening the
north east portion of Fort Berthold
Indian reservation were today taken,
when Representative Hanna and
Secretary Ballinger Of the interior de-
partment discussed the petition of the
people of Ryder and Plaza who have
appealed to congress for an early
opening of the above named reser-
vation. Although nothing definite
was agreed upon at today's confer
ence, it is understood that Secretary
Ballinger will make his attitude
known early next week.
The Berthold reservation embraces
nearly 100000 acres of which about
10000 is included in the northeast
portion which Representative Hanna
desires to have opened to settlement.
Should a favorable recommendation
from the department be forthcoming,
immediate steps will be taken with a
view to procuring the necessary legis-
lation at the hands Of congress.

AS the old law ceases to exist
on July l, all the druggists will
be obliged to discontinue sales of
liquor for period of 80 days or
more, as it will take time to secure a
permit under the new law. 1t will
take many of them at least two
months to secure a permit.
Under the new law there must be
an application filed with the clerk
of the court in which the druggist
resides. The judge Of the district
court will fix a date for a hearing
and the application must be adver
tised for period Of 80 days.
With the prohibition law more
stringent than ever, July promises
to be very dry month in North Da-
kota.

Delivery Team
Drowned

A delivery team belonging to Mus
Bros, was drowned in Ramstad's
slough Wednesday shortly before
noon. Martin Holt, the deliveryman,
left the team standing near the
slough, while he went to deliver an
order of groceries in nearby house.
The horses seeing the water in the
slough, and being thirsty, walked
down to the edge of the slough to
get drink. The wagon being filled
with groceries, and the bank being
quite steep, the horses we're pushed
into the slough, which is deep. The
horses became submerged in water
at once, and started to swim. They
managed to get half way across the
slough, when one of them got q
front leg over the neck yoke, and
sank, pulling the other horse with it..
The wagon also sank, and the gro
ceries floated all about the slough.
After working for several hours last
evening, the horses and wagon were
dragged from the slough. The loss is
quite a heavy one to Mus Bros. 81

what are the provisions of the new

the power to grant liquor permits,

are being prepared with view to
having them published 80 days be-
fore the new law goes into effect on
July 1. Judge Templeton states that
the applications could not be filed
or any action taken toward securing
a permit until July 1, when the new
law is in effect.

jury, which is in session at Fargo, is

tempt to defraud the government,
but the. jury found absolutely no
proof of any guilt against Mr.. Fox.
We have been unable to see Mr.. Fox
