FORMATORY
Warden Fuller Would Buy More Farm
Land-Expenses Reduced.

Inspired by Detroit newspaper
which has a slike for War ZEN Oti>
Fuller of the State Reformatory ~
Ionia, every now and then demand
goes up for a change in management
but up to date not single charge has
ever been brought against Warden
Fuller and the more his coudurt Of
affairs is investigated the more appar-
ent it becomes that Mr.. Fuller--a for
mer successful newspaper man-is one
of the best wardens in the entire
country.
That the reformatory is the least ex-
pensive to the tax payers of any re-
formatory in the country is shown by
the biennial reports the board of con
troll and Warden Fuller which have
been filed with Governor Warner. The
board in its report strongly urges the
purchase of 2S5 acres of land upon
which options have been secured. The
plan is to work the land with prison
labor. During the past ten months
s9,4S5 worth of produce has been rails
ed by prison labor but a portion of it
was on rented land.
According to the reports rapid strides
are being made toward making the re-
formatory one in every sense of the
word. The cost of caring for the
prisoners has decreased 80 per cent dur
ing the past 20 years From 1890 to
1894 each prisoner cost the state 1919
each year and by able management it
has been reduced to $42 20 per year.
During the time when it cost the tax
payers so heavily to care for the prism
ers the convicts received no part of
their earnings. At present about 81, coo
per month is being paid to prisoners
for overtask work by contractors and
for efficient and faithful work
In almost every instance the money
received from thissource is being used
for good purpose, says Warden Full
Ter. Some use it for the support of
their families, others for correspondence
courses in technical trades. The prison
maintains graded grammar school for
the benefit Of prisoners who never be.
fore had a chance for an education.
Warden Fuller thinks this policy should
be adopted when the state enters the
state account era of employing prison
labor.
The hours of work in the prison have
been reduced ten per cent and the
prisoners are better clothed and fed
than they formerly were. They also
have half hour for recreation in the
prison yard each day in pleasant
weather as a reward for good conduct
and faithful work. During the two
years $l5, 900 in buildings and improve
ments have been added to the prison.
The warden speaks highly in praise of
the parole and indeterminate sentence
law and the probation law which he
thinks are bearing splendid fruit in the
way of reformation.
Since the parole law went into ef-
feet in 1895, LAG prisoners have been
paroled from the institution. Of these
but 81 have violated their parole and
263 are still reporting. During the last
month covered by the report paroled
prisoners earned $9,7O5. A total of 575
prisoners were interviewed regarding
the relation of liquor to crime, 1875 ae-
mitted they were excessive drinkers,
282 were moderate drinkers and 22O
stated that they were influenced by
liquor to commit the crimes for which

GADDIs OF THE HIMALAYAs
Tribe Of Nomad Shepherds Whose
Very Origin Is Matter of
Conjecture.

Far away In the central Himalayas
lives a tribe of nomad shepherds
whose very origin is matter of con-
lecture. They are known as Gaddis,
and are as distinctly separate from
the other tribes of these mountains as
are the Amos from the Japanese. They
were once dwellers in the plains, but
at some remote period were driven to
the hills, and they are nov confined to
the western Himalayas, where there
are extensive grazing grounds. Here
they are partly tillers of the soil, as
well as shepherds, f.. their women
folk, who do not accompany the flocks,
work in the fields, and some of the
men also remain in the villages to as
sist them.
They are fine hardy men, these Cad
dis, and their women are sometimes
beautiful They scorn the use of tents
or shelters of any kind, and provided
only with a blanket of goats hair,
which they make themselves, and
which is PRACTICAL, waterproof, one
and all of them remain for months to-
gether, at attitudes varying from 49,
600 to 1900 feet, exposed to snow,
wind and rain, without any i'll effect
to their health. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that rhey are trained
to it, for the boys. at very early age,
are made to accompany thew fathers

JAPANESE AUCTION is TAME.
Even the AuctIoneer Has Nothing to
Say, and Bids Are Made In
Writing.

An un-American Japanese auction Is
a kind of Oriental prayer meeting.
People do not exactly wait for the
spirit to move them before making a
bid, but they go about as silently as
If meditating in Lenten retreat. No
body has anything to say, or II he has
he exercises powerful restraint over
his emotions and refrains from say
ing it. Even the auctioneer holds his
tongue. Every article that he offers
for sale is simply held up for inspec-
ton
The wondrous vocabulary with
which Occidental auctioneers pro-
claim the merits of their wares has
no place in Japanese auction room,
the dramatic thrill of going, going,
gone" is never felt. Purchasers write
their bids on slip of paper and send
it up by page. There is no hurry.
Everybody has time to count his
change and make up mind how
much he can afford to pay
When the bids are all in the auc-
tioneer coolly turns over the article

the list Unless people wish to talk
afterward nobody will ever know what
anybody else bid, not even the price
paid by the successful bidder.

GOOD WORK BY
THE BOY SCOUTS
They Distribute Helpful Books Among
Mothers, Says Walter Burr
Of Olathe, Kan.

Walter Burr, secretary of the Olathe
Brotherhood, of Olathe, Kansas, says
that the Boy Scouts in Kansas have
proved wonderfully helpful in distrib-
uting state literature to the people.
While the state board of health of
Kansas Of which Dr. S. J. Crumbine is
secretary, printed great amount of
literature with the aim of educating
mothers as to the care Of infants and
how to fight preventable diseases,
much difficulty was encountered in
getting the literature in the hands of
the people. Then the Boy Scouts
were called in and concerning them
Burr writes: Where we have found
scout organizations we have had no
trouble In getting them to district
their town and distribute this litera-
ture, and in some cases they have
even gone further and cleaned up
filthy conditions and entered into a
general crusade against preventable
diseases"
Because Of the eagerness with
which the Boy Scouts have helped in
this work in certain parts of Kansas
an appeal has been made to all the
Scout Masters of the state to take up
the work of distributing the litera-
ture. Concerning the necessity of this
work Burr writes: @The terrible con-
di'.ions OF drought and hot weather
in this state at the present time make
1t imperative that this distribution of
literature should be consumated as
quickly as possible"

Eugene Hammel, Claiming to Have
Been the Victim Of unwarranted
Assault, Wants Of
ficer Let Out.
CRUEL MAKING ARREST
Also Charges That the officer Laid
Violent Hands Upon His Wife
Ask That Time For Hear
Ing Be Set.

The dismissal and discharge of AL.
Fields. colored night officer of the
Keokuk police force, was asked today
by Eugene Hammel, who charges that
he was the victim of an unwarranted
assault on the part of the officer who
effected his arrest Saturday evening.
1t was also charged that Fields laid
violent hands on Mrs. Hammel and
used abusive and insulting language
In her presence.
The application was filed with the
city clerk by Attorney Frank Balling
err, and the city commission Is asked
to set time for hearing the matter.
In the language of the attorney Off
Ger Fields without cause, provocation
or excuse, assaulted and struck and
treated in a cruel and inhuman mon
ner the complainant and did take
hold and lay violent hands upon his
wife and used abusive language il
her presence
Just how the trouble which led to
Hammels arrest arose is not alto
gether clear, even now. The stories
of the witnesses conflict, as do those
OF the participants in the rumpus It
appears, however, that Hammel was
having some kind of an alteration
with his wife, and that she was try
ing to take him home. When the
argument got noisy, Fields went up to
| the pair and told them to cut it out
and move on. 1t is said that Hammel
| resented the interference of Fields,
probably because of his color. His
/ wife. however, got him started home
and he had gone some distance when
he broke away and came back to the
seat of trouble 1t was then that
Fields started to arrest him, which
proceeding he resisted violently. In
the course of the scuffle which ensued
| Fields is alleged to have hit him oyel
the head with his club, laying him oui
i cold
The crowd which gathered was
about equally composed of blacks and
whites and for a while it looked as
/ though race riot was imminent
1 Spectators state that If the whites
! had had a determined leader to star
things, trouble surely would have fol
| lowed.

ART OF SMILING IMPORTANT
People Do Not Care to Associate With

Says Writer.

Why is 1t that most people, as they
walk along the streets or ride in the
cars have such an unpleasant ex-
preston? If one will observe even
casually the people he meets in day
he will be impressed with the panied
and sullen and disagreeable counte-
nances. We live in a rush. and the
average person is bent on some err
rand or business and Is absorbed in
thing or somewhere. With this alb
sorbing our attention we haven't
time to attend to our facial express
sion. We are not sure, however, that
this is a matter of permissible indif-
ference. If ore does not believe that
his countenance adds to or detracts
anything from the lives or expressions
of others, let him pause for moment
before that now celebrated "Billiken."
1t is almost impossible to looa at the
little imp and not smile. The Japan

GOLD IS PLENTIFUL
IN MUSIC PASS
Planet City. Has Sprung Into Exls.
tence Before Many People
Were Aware OF Il.

FLORENCE, Colo, Aug. 1.-Secrecy
with regard to the discovery of many
veins Of gold ore-well defined and OF
good width running ounces in the
precious metal to the ton, has caused
the town OF Planet City, in Music
Pass OF the Sangre de Cristo noun
tains, to spring up before many people
knew of its existence.
Gold has been discovered there, and
the finder, George F. Barker, has
been informing his friends for the
past year, until now many cabins dot
the hillsides about Music Pass, and
there Is even talk of stage line
from Westcliffe, Custer county, the
nearest railroad station. Planet City
is sixteen miles through the Wet
mountain valley from Westcliffe.
The new camp gives promise of
startling the state with another ex-
element. It is said the veins are
numerous and that they will not peck
ct out. Mining men of this district
and from other sections near West
cliffe are setting out for the new
camp in numbers.
Establishing himself and wife in a
cabin on Music Pass five years ago,
George F. Barker, an assayer and
prospector from Rosita, has quietly
studied the formations of this terri
tory to ascertain the extent and value
of his discoveries.
Last year was the first that the
value Of his explorations became
known, when few Puebloans drove
to camp and staked some claims. This
year they have returned there and
news of the strikes have begun to &c
abroad
Except for the coming of Dr. Coop
Of Durango, in the interest of Colo
RADIO capitalists, the first of the week
visitors to camp have been those who
have only wished to try mining on q
small scale.
That this section Of the Sangre dc
| Cristo Range has remained SO LONG
undeveloped Barker lays to the fact
that there are other metals that have
a stronger affinity for gold than lead
and that under the usual methods o.
assaying the gold is carried into the
Stag with these metals, and there is
