lARGESI NUMBER OF
COnWCTS EVER ENROLLED
IN The PEAlTEnTllRY

The register at the prison today
shows that seven hundred and ninety
four men and women are at present
serving sentences for crime in that
institution. This IL the largest num-
Der ever enrolled there and a record
of eight hundred is expected to be
received In the course Of another
week or ten days. The total number
Of conyic;s received there since the es-
tablishment OF the peniteniiary in this
city runs into the thousands. There
are always more prisoners in the WIN
ter than during the summer months
for the reason that the courts
throughout the state are busy at this
season making new convictions. while
during the vacation period OF the ju-
dietary the prisoners are released un-
der expiration OF sentence and on
parole faster than fresh ash" are
brought in.

IOWA WARDEN CLAIMS CREDIT

Fort Madison. Ia. Feb. 2s.-war-

penitentiary takes decided exception
to coiorado's claim to the establish
ment of the honor system among coz
vicis. Considerable publicity is being
given the fact that at Canon City the
convicts work without stripes and
without guards; that the plan origin
ated there. and that other states are
following the lead of Colorado in ref
ormatiou instead OF punishment Of
the criminals. The honor system has
been in vogue at the Fort Madison
penitentiary for several years. and
Warden Sanders. himself one OF tho
prime agitators for the reform meth
eds. does not like TO see Iowa lose Its
claim on being the originator of the

Editor of the Record.
Dear Sir:
Being resident and property own
er l am somewhat interested in Canon
City and her prosperity, and Will add
my protest against the prohibition of
selling fruit at our station Was very
much surprised when we read of the
desire of the city council to prohibit
such good advertisement and L
might say allurement to our good
health and fruit country. All who
have travelled over the barren plains
of Kansas and eastern Colorado will
admit that coming to a place where
fresh, luscious grapes and juicy
peaches and apples can be obtained a.
reasonable prices by the tired and
weary traveller. is like finding en
oasis in the desert We hope that our
council will not aid a monopoly IN
doing such an injustice to our poor
people. the fruit grower and he

pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Constipation is caused by a weak

To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
