BOY WHO SLIPPED
Mrs. Amrine Tells Story of One in
Hutchinson Reformatory.

n. F. Amrine. Lrerintendent of the
State Reformatory at Hutchinson, was
a state house visitor Wednesday. He was
merely making report on the institution
to the governor. Amrine is the Council
Grove editor who went to Hutchinson
after year of preparation as pardon
clerk and made good at the big institu-
ton. Mrs. Amrine accompanied her
husband on this trip and she tells an
interesting story about boy who is
confined at the institution.
This boy went west to make his for
tune He made some sill and got into
trouble and was sent to the reforma-
tory for a short term. He writes home
cheering letters to his folks and tells
them he has a pretty good JOB In
Hutchinson where he has worked all
winter.
In reply to a recent letter from home
the boy wrote that he would not leave
his present job until later in the spring
(ghen his parole is given.) 1t is all
very sad, and the reformatory officials
help the boy to carry out his deception
with the home folks. They believe that
when the boy gets out he will make
good in his second try with the world.
The folks back home do not need to
know of the boys slip. He is a bright
and capable young man and Mrs.
Amrine expects him to profit from his
experience and write the home folks
some day about a real Job where he has
kept faith and won a place.

one of the men who was concerned III Iho
recent dope disclosures made at the STATE
penitentiary and one of the head o11lcla.S
OF the Nebraska Prison assoclaton' oe-
clared that his initial charges had oeen
laid before Governor AldriclI more than
month ago, in ample time for a thorough
investigation to be made OF all the inner
workings of the penitendary.
He stated that he had talked with many
ex-convicts as to the conditions at the
penitentiary and that he had become sat
isfied that a deploraple state OIL dlIdih9
existed there.
The speaker declared that the investiga-
lions had disclosed that the most bestlal
practices had been INDUCED in and that Il
large number of convicts were dope users
and that there were several routes
through which the dope Travelled 10 the
users He said that from twenty-five 70
seventy-five convicts were drug fiends;
Convict Frank Dinsmore was singled
ont as the man who had been fnstru-
mental in running number of the young
conx-icts and the individual who more
than any other incarcerated in the penn
Tertiary was guilty of retailing dope to
other prisoners.
He charged that prisoners were inhu-
manly punished and that 1t was seldom
that the hole or the bull pen which con
tanned half dozen cells was empty ne
declared that men were strung up by the
hands and were tortured for days. At
times. the fire hose was turned on them
to force them to submit to discipline
He held to the opinion that if an honest
effort had been made to stamp out dope
at the prison that at least nine-tenths or
the stuff would have never reached the
convicts during the past year.
He pointed out that TRUSTEES everywhere
were always ready to take advantage or
the privileges afforded them to make
money by unlawful practices. He said
that the food of the convicts should be
better.
He declared that charges that those

Out of 40 counties in the state.
Roosevelt was successful in carrying
fifteen, LaFollette receiving the re-
mainder. One county went to LaFol-

ties carried by him was Ais, While

Not Due to Democrats.
Courtenay, n. D.. March 21.-"Re-
turns from $50 of the $500 precints OF
the state do not bear out the charge
of the Roosevelt leaders that LaFol-
Iette's victory was due largely to
Democrats voting for him in the Re
publican primaries said H. N. Tuck
err. the LaFollette committee chair
man. "LaFollette's total from these
precincts is 21,657 and Roosevelts is

37,39S This does not mean that the
other two-thirds of the precincts will
give a proportionately large vote be
cause the $50 heard from are mostly
cities and towns and a few rural dis
tricts of the eastern part of the state.
''Two-thirds of the 1900 precincts to
hear from are almost wholly in thinly
settled rural sections. The votes from
each and their total will be small and
probably will not bring the total Re
publican vote up to what Taft received
in. 1908. which was $780,
