desire of doing something worth while.
set their whole minds to tn is
work and the result was the splendid
achievement of last evening. At about
S:45 the crowd assembled and short
social period was spent. Chairs were
then utilized and Supt. ]. S. Alan as
chairman, with a clever little speech,
introduced the first number of the pro-
gram, which had been prepared by
Miss Besse Patterson, Miss Mabel
Coleman. Then followed the other
numbers with surprising rapidity to
the onlookers who repeatedly attested
their appreciation by clapping and
who would have desired the program
to have been twice as long. The pro-
gram was as follows:

After this, mid the lavish display
of color, lights and excellent music,
junior intermingled with senior, teach

half-hour was spent. Suddenly the or
chestra struck up famous and
dreamy waltz, stiffness swept the
room. several began to grow restless
and finally not being able to contain
themselves swung into the time of the
music and danced. Although this was
not on the program, 1t proved to be
one of the most delightful features
of the evening. Dancing continued
until about midnight when a halt was
called because of the lateness of the

STUBS in ST. LOUIS.
Governor VIII Make Five Speeches
There Sunday

| Governor w. R. Stubs will make
five speeches in five St. Louis churches
| next Sunday. Missouri is now in the
midst of o prohibition fight and the
| executive has been asked for a helping
hand. In Chicago and in Denver SIM
liar speeches were made by the gov
ernor.
Regarding the Stubs invitation TO
Missouri, the st. Louis Republic prints
the following, written by D. o. McCray
of Topeka:
Some weeks ago Governor Stubs of
| Kansas promised the leaders of the
| prohibition movement of Missouri to
run over to that state and make few
| speeches for the statewide prohibition
| fight now in progress there. Since the
| announcement thai the governor would
| lend a helping hand and voice to the
neighbor state some things have hap
| pened in Kansas that make the whole
matter embarrassing for the governor.
/ Some letters received at the executive
office here from Kansas prohibitioniStS
suggest to Governor Stubbs that he
should first use good-sized broom in
| sweeping about his own dooryard be-
| fore he goes into Missouri with his
message on prohibition as it is enforced
at home
1T is true that the Republican state
| platform which was written by Will
! liam Allen White at the governors
suggestion, sets out that the next legis-
| lature will pass a law making it a PEN
! itentiary offense for the second convic-
| ton of the violation of the prohibitory
| liquor law, but then Republican plat
forms have been adopted before in
| Kansas, just as this plank was, to get
votes.
TT is remarkable that since the adop-
| ton of that platform, liquors have
! been sold more or less openly in all the
/ low Ton Of fnf N
| been shown by raids and clean-ups
| made generally by Democratic officials,
who apparently care nothing for the
| embarra ssment which these disclosures
| bring to Governor Stubs. Only a. few
| days ago, through the work of Demo-
/ cratic county attorney, a half dozen
| clubs and supply houses were raided in
| Topeka, and within gunshot Of the gov
| ernor's office. At Wichita a newly APP
| pointed chief of police, after rummag-'
| ing about in the subbasement of the
| city hall. discovered a room deliberately
| furnished as a bed chamber the like of
| which could not be duplicated in any
| of the richly appointed homes of that
city. This beautifully appointed cham
Der was the secret meeting place Of
! five citizens and their friends, for it
| has been ascertained that five keys
| were specially made with which to I'M
lock the heavy panel door which led to
| its location, 20 feet below the level of
the street. Within it's precincts was
supply of the choicest wines and other
| liquors, including champagne. A brass
bedstead. bearing Il costly hair mat
tress and spotless linen served the COM
fort of those who frequented the place.
All this happened under a reform and
Temperance administration, and it has
| stirred the prohibitionists of Kansas to
demand of Governor Stubs and his at
torney general that they devote their
time and energies to Kansas before
giving advice to the citizens of other
states"

AMRINEW WOULD CHANGEIT
Has Plan to Improve Parole System at
State Reformatory.

Superintendent NJ. F. Amrine of the
state reformatory at Hutchinson today
visited Topeka and while here declared
that he favored a division of work and
privileges between the paroled man and
the one almost ready for parole.
Mr. Amrine after six weeks in charge
of the institution, has studied conditions
there until he feels that a prisoner COM
ing near his parole should be given priv
ileges in or near the institution for the
purpose of helping him when his freedom
is granted. He will study conditions fur
Their and probably will act as soon as he
has decided upon the better course to pur-
sue.
The intention of Mr.. Armine is to keep
the place reformatory strictly. He be-
ieves that if a prisoner shows the right
spirit that prisoner should be kept in the
reformatory and that if he does not show
this spirit he should be transferred to the
penitentiary. OF the $50 prisoners now in
sixty or seventy per cent are taking the
chance the state is giving them and are
showing the TefOrmatiVe spirit.
-Four prisoners, who Mr.. Anrine said,
had not shown the proper spirit were
transferred to the penitentiary last week.
The superintendent proposes to continue
this process whenever it is shown that a
prisoner is not taking the right course as
regards his conduct.
Regarding the agricultural work being
done at the reformatory, Mr.. Amrine said
that the go acre farm was the best look
dred bushels of sweet potatoes were har-
vested last week off nine acres. The har-
vesting was done by forty boys in charge
of three mounted overseers. Forty acres
of cane is being made into sorghum mo-
lasses, the details working twelve hours
each day. Electric lights have been wired
into the plant and the work is continued
until eight o. clock each night. Five thou
sand gallons of molasses are being made.
Nearly all of this will be used in the re
fOrmatory. Five hundred gallons of apple
butter have been made, besides 4,000
quarts of fruits have been canned.
About 5000 bushels of corn will be haT-
vested off Of about $50 acres. A corn cut
ting contest between details has been in
progress. Twenty-ei prisoners have
cut 1900 shocks in eight days, working
only seven hours each day. Six Mexicans
lead the cutters all of the time.
Concerts by prisoners will be given
shortly and the boys learning a trade in
the tailoring department will furnish the
suits. They have volunteered to work ex-
ira hours to do so and in This way it is
expected to stage some satisfactory eff
forts at minstrelsy. Such things are made
a part of the discipline, said Mr.. Amrine,
and 1t is through these privileges that we
are able to handle the prisoners to the
best advantage and bring out the best
that is in them
