PRISON FOR WOMEN.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 11.-Mrs.
Ellen Foster special agent of the gov
eminent, who is inspecting the federal
women's ward at the Lansing prison,
declares the prisons here the best reg
ulated and the best conducted prisons
in the country both as to sanitary and
reformatory conditions.
There is no state prison in this
country where our federal women pris-
oners are given more care and consid-
Grafton than at the state penitentary
at lansing" said Mrs. Foster.
There are now 16 federal women
prisoners in the Lansing prison. This
is about half of the total number of
federal women prisoners in all the in
stitutions in the United States, as there
are only 30 all told. The number sent
here should be evidence of my appre-
citation of the manner in which the
prisons are conducted.
Women Appreciate Treatment
Il find the women of the Lansing
prison very much in love with their
r1&tron and very appreciatiVe of the
Kramer in which Warden Codding con-
ducts the affairs of their ward, and the
one. acre set apart for their use.
L do not want the idea prevalent
that 1 am a spy sent over the country
to spy upon the prison institutions and
those who conduct them as so many
plants suggestions from prisoners,
of course, for many of them are in
telligent and have good ideas Of how a
prison should be conducted, but my
work is more particularly to work in
conjunction with wardens and matrons
of prisons to bring about better condi-
lions both sanitary ana reformatory.
What Kansas needs is a state pris-
On for women separate and apart from
ary town where there is a mans pris-
on There are go women prisoners in
the Lansing prison. of these only 16
are federal prisoners. The state needs
q prison even more than the govern
ment and they need a farm in con-
rection.
Separate Prison for Women.
Il recommend and am trying to get
the government to build a prison for
women separate and apart from like in
stitutions and with a small farm in
connection. I know of no place in the
United States better than LeaVenworth
for its location. With the large gov
eminent reservation here there rs am
PIE room for such a prison and for a
small farm in connection.
The woman'S cell wing to be bull
al the federal prison here will be
splendid and could be under no better
n anagement than Warden McClaughry
but I would recommend that it be bull
on another part of the reservation.
THE federal prison." said Mrs Eos
ter. lis the cleanest and best regulated
prison in the United States or the
world"

PIant-Canton Grows.

Canton, Kan, June 1.-THE $50, 900
waterworks and electric light bonds
carried by majority of five to one
and Canton will soon have electric
lights and waterworks.
The friends of the proposition got
busy the last few days before the cleo

accounts for the big majority. Can

we hope the town will never have
cause to regret the forward step.
The majority was a surprise to the

AN EGG WITHIN AN EGG.

Overlook, Kan. June 11.-Milo
Emery brought an egg to town last
Thursday which is literally an egg
within an egg. The outer shell is as
large as an ordinary goose egg and
looks as though it might have been
moulded in a cloth because of the
wrinkles. Because of its peculiar
shape Mrs. Emery thought she would
blow the egg and keep the she'll She
made an opening in both ends and
succeeded in getting the white out, but
the yolk would not come. She en-
larged the opening and found that
there was a perfect egg, shell and all,
of ordinary size inside.
The inner shell is apparently heavier
than the outside one and is of better
shape.

SEWERS FOR BURLINGTON.

Burlington, Kan, June 11.-At a
meeting of the city council the ordin-
ance in regard to a sanitary sewer sys-
tenn which has been hanging fire for
sometime, and which was approved at
their meeting Monday night, was
passed.
The ordinance and resolutions are
very lengthy and it too hard, diligent
work to get the matter in shape, and
the councilmen deserve much credit
for their constant attention to this
matter, and in giving this city an up
to-date sewerage system.

second vice-president.
Twenty-seven members enrolled.
A committee was appointed to secure
further applications so that the club
will be strongly represented Tuesday
night, the "big" night of the repub-
lican campaign. A movement is now
on foot towards the organization of
a Young Mems Republican Club, to
act as an auxiliary to the older body
of first ward republicans.
On the soliciting committee, ap-
pointed to obtain members, are
Thorvald Bjornsen, Thomas ].

liam H. Fullerton, candidate for
mayor; John F. Ten Brock, aspir-
ant for the assembly; Thomas Lucas,

H, Koyen. The meeting was prob
ably the most enthusiastic gathering

chairman of the county committee,
in~the opening address of the even
ing.
Census Facts Are Given.
Some interesting facts concerning
the recent census and the part it
will play upon the government of
the state, were given by Col. John D.
Lang, one of the census enumera-
tors from the fourth ward. Urging
the voters to send their candidates
to the legislature, he said the state
would have to be re-districted dur
ing the coming year. The state CEN
sus will be announced at the next
session of the legislature, ne said,
and it viii be found that New Jersey
will be allowed three or four more
congressman.
If the republicans are in the ma
jority In the legislature, continued
Mr.. Lang, they will re-distriet the
state in a manner favorable to the
party. II the democrats dominate,
they will draw boundary lines alto
gether different.
Attack School Board.
From open remarks made at the
meeting last night, the republicans
evidently believe the action taken by
the Board of Education Tuesday
night towards clothing and feeding
poor and hungry children, is but a
political move to gain sympathy. 1t
was asked last night why the board
had not undertaken the project be-

BLAZING TAR
CAUSES ALARM
Excited Crowd Collects on
Rector Street Following
Call for Firemen.
SMOKE FOOLED MANY

A blazing tar pot at Rector and
Gordon streets, emitting clouds of
thick, black smoke, brought out the
ire companies and excited crowds
shortly after 8: 80 o'clock this morn
ing. People from the central and
northern parts of the city, seeing the
dense smoke, and believing a raging
fire was in progress, fiocked to the
scene of the blaze, only to find the
tar barrel blazing away in the middle
of the street.
Shoppers and business men who
reside in the lower section of the
city, but who were on Smith street
when the alarm sounded, rushed to-
wards the smoke, believing the fire
might be destroying their own resi-
dences.
On his way to the fire, in the newly
purchased fire department carriage,
Chief Theodore Anderson narrowly
missed a youth who fell from
bteycle-on the-recently tarred surface
of Rector street. Tar was painted
over the street only this morning, and
riding over the wet surface in his
haste to reach the blaze the boy fell
to the ground when his bicycle slid.
By a few inches the chiefs wagon
missed the youngster. The escaper
refused to give his name. He was
not injured.
The tar barrel was owned by the
Standard Bitulithic Company. 1t be-
came a mass of flames when drip
pings from the huge pot fell on the
fire beneath. Employees of the COM
pany attempted to extinguish the
blaze with sand. but their efforts
proved futile. Oscar Coutts, of Mar
ket street, turned in an alarm from
box 73, at Water and Gordon streets,
and Washington Hose and Chemical
Company was first to respond. Mem
