DISCIPLINE AT THE PEN.

Well, you see now that there is
discipline at the Ohio penitentiary,
don't you?
Because Warden Jones has intro
duced humane methods of dealing
with prisoners. Republican papers
have been twittlng him therefor, not
being able to find fault with the pres
ent business-like management Of the
big prison.
Whenever fight occurred be-
tween prisoners, which happens In all
prisoners, and has always beenof fire.
quent occurrence in the Ohio peniten-
tiary, Republican papers have not
hesltated to magnify and misrepre-
sent it as lack of discipline.
Whenever a "trusty" would walk
away, as some TRUSTEES" have done
under former administrations, in
stead of referring to it as taking
French leave Republican papers
have given sensational reports about
another escape from the peniten-
tlary."
When a prisoner has actually es-
capped from within the walls, thing
which prisoners have plotted and at
tempted and often succeeded In ac-
complshing since the days when pris-
ons were first built, Republican pap
ers have just overflowed with sensa-
tlonal statements, as though escapes
were unknown when Republicans
were in control OF the institution.
But there Is this difference, how
ever, in the alleged lack of disci-
pline" now and the discipline of for
mer days-after a prisoner escaped
because of negligence on the pare OF
the watchemn, the watchmen at
fault were promptly discharged
something unheard of in the disci-
pline of the penitentiary under
Republican control.
The other day when a desperate
who had served two terms before
and snce his return to the prision un-
der life sentence had done nothing but
plan to escape, who had twice before
attempted to get away and was given
warning by the warden that If he
tried 1t again 1t would be at the risk
of his life, to which he replied that
he would take che chances, made his
third attempt to escape and was shot
down by the guard upon whom the
desperate rushed with uplifted ham.

GORGEOUS
Wedding Is Arranged For
Miss Gould

New York, March 3 = The Gould
Drexel wedding which is to take
place next month will be one of the
most gorgeous affairs Of this kind ev.
er seen in America. The ceremony
will take place at o'clock in the aft
ernoon in the fashionable st. Bar.
tholomew's Church, in Madison Av,
enue.
Mr.. Drexel will await his bride at
the altar with his best man, who has
not yet been chosen. The bride will
be attended by her sister, Miss Vivien
Gould, as her maid of honor. The
bridesmaids will be Miss Margarita
Drexel, her fiance's sister; her cous-
in, Miss Hope Hamilton, daughter of

The Railroad.

The report of the Engineering Com
pany having in charge the proposition
of determining the cost of constructing,
the resources that will feed an electric
road from Columbia to Greensburg, is
in the hands of Messrs. Hindman and
Tut, of this city. The report covers
the entire situation and shows good to
those who will put money into it. The
Company advises the building Of the
road and recommends it a good invest
ment. We have not been favored with
full information, conveyed by letter to
the above named gentlemen, but under
stand that the people of Adair and
Green counties will be asked to sub
scribe and pay for 20 per cent. of the
stock. The estimated cost of the road
being about 100000, it is therefore
necessary to secure in the two counties
$500 This ought to be readily Sc
cured if the building of the road can
thereby become certainty.

The Citizens National Life.

We call attention to the advertise
ment of Mr.. j. 7. Menef ee, agent for
The Citizens National Life Insurance
Company Louisville, which appears on
another page of this paper. By read
ing it you will find several reasons why
the enterprising people of this section
can well afford to take an interest in
this great young giant institution now
forming, for the purpose of serving the
people of Kentucky and the entire
South. Too long have our people hesi-
tated and rejected investments in en-
terprises that would aid in the business
development of our country and put
their money in the stocks and bonds of
watered institutions of the North and
East. That the South needs some
strong financial institutions can not be
questioned; that it is the greatest field
for Life Insurance can not be doubted,
and in view of these facts The Citizens
National Life Insurance Company will
doubtless be sufficiently strong to give
good returns to the country and to its
stock and policy holders. The CONSOLE
dation of this Company and The Citi-
zens Life will start it off, the strongest
Life Insurance Company of its age in
the entire country, and with its thous-
;ands of stock holders throughout the
South it's business ought to grow zap
idly. 1t is not our business to advise
and this is not so intended, but to point
out the opportunity as it appears to our
mind is but giving good service, as we
see it, to the readers of The News.
Rarely, if ever, the people in the coun-
try have had an opportunity to invest
in the stock of any of the large and
growing companies until the water had
been applied and tremendous profit
gathered by the manipulating capital
lists. If you want to investigate The
Citizens National Life Insurance Com
pany, if you are inclined to seek an in.
vestment, Mr.. Menefee will explain in
detail.
