Rochester, N. Y, Sept 30.-The

afternoon after spending the morning

c!amation OF land, but European exper-
ience also is suggestive, agricultural
prisons having been established in
England, New South Wales, Prussia,
Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, France,
Russia and Belgium. European labor
colonies have much to teach us.
why, since prisoners make again
habitable the abandoned farms of Mas
sachusetts and remove the boulders
from the rich soil Of Rhode Island, can
they not reclaim the tide ats OF New
Jersey and the everglades of Florida?
If prisoners build dykes in Europe and
levees in Louisiana, why not else
where. In Europe the courses of
streams have been changed, mountains
tunnelled and canals built by prison
ers. In the great mountain districts
of the United States, in the lands OF
disappearing timber and along our
sandy shores, there are possibilities
already wilnout limit.
Not all prisoners can be worked
without the walls. In most prisons a
majority cannot. But with selected
prisoners under the right kind of sup
ervision, what could not be done?
These suggestions provide for the very
least competition with free labor, FOL
doing something good at the state S
expense"

FACTORY PROPOSITION
IS NOW A POSSIBILITY
PROMOTERS AND CITIZENS HOLD
ANOTHER MEETING THIS MORN
ING-WlLL GET TOGETHER.

Some OF the enterprising citizens
have been looking seriously into the
matter, and have been able to get the
factory people to wait more detailed
investigation relative to the mills and
after going over the ground as best
they could under the circumstances
the citizens feel that they are justified
in making a special effort to land
them.
1t seems now that the mill people
and Ardmore will get together, and If
all the good citizens of the town will
make pull together it will be very
easy to land it and every one will be
handsomely bettered thereby. II
seems that about all it takes is for
Ardmore to make a move that looks
like they mean business, and when
they do they can get results.
There was another meeting this
morning and the prospects look good
for them to be yet able to close up n
contract. 1t means this, that If they
do get the factories, we will have a
lot of new people lot of skilled me-
chanics and a payroll of good new
money brought in here to the amount
OF about 100000 or more per year as
starter.
In acquiring these two factories, We
make a nucleus around which other
factories will grow and our future i'm
mediately looks better. Ardmore yet
has a chance to do business If the
proper spirit Is shown and after the
ice is broken and the water warmed
up a little there will be no trouble In
accomplishing good things.

TO GAIN ENTRANCE TO HOME.
CUT CLOTHING INTO SHREDS
Fred c. WahIenmeyer, Who is Being
Held by the Police, Says He Saw
Another Place Bomb by Palmer
Residence and He Attacked Him.

Chicago, H., Sept. 30,--After plac-
ing bomb beside the residence of
Mrs. Potter Palmer and cutting his
coat into shreds with a butcher knife,
Fred c. Wahlenmeyer, % years of
age, attempted last night to gain
entrance to the mansion.
He demanded an audience with
Mrs. Palmer, but the watchman sum
moned the police
At first Wahlenmeyer told the po-
lice that he had seen another man
place the bomb and that his coat
had been torn struggling with him.
Later he admitted planting the eX,
plosive and cutting his own coat.
The Palmer household was thrown
into panic.
All Wahlenmeyer would say was
why did i do it? Oh, just for in

The police believe Wahlenmeyel
sought to gain a reward for having
saved the house from a mysterious

papers he bought the evening paper in
Wichita. About this time he started
the Garden City Dally Telegram, but
sold it soon afterwards to Ralph II.
FaXOn, private secretary to Senator
Chester |. Long.
Henry Allen has made many changes
of residence while in Kansas. His
longest stay in any one place was at
Ottawa He moved to Wichita from
the latter place about three and one
half years ago.
Mr. Allen was not in the city last
night. He is in Western Kansas now
on business supposedly relating to
the formation of a company to pur-
chase the oklahoma City paper.
Mr.. Allen was in oklahoma City the
first of the week lie went there on
business relating % the purchase Of
the paper, so a dispatch says. Should
the Kansas syndicate buy the paper, it
Is likely that Mr.. Allen viii become
its editor.
The deal now pending is said to con-
tain unusual features. The Oklahoma
City Chamber of Commerce is want
ing a change in the afternoon paper,
and it proposes to buy the Times for
about $4,000 and sell it to the Kansas
syndicate for something near $4,000.
The deal is said to be hanging fire
until after election, as the Times is
the official organ OF the Harris repub-
ican doctrine in the new state and the
new syndicate does not wish TO push
in and take obligations opposed to in
surgency.
1t is likely that the paper will
change hands about the first of the
new year. A telegram to the Kansas
City Post says that the deal Is prac-
tically a certainty.
