0Tson Jordan, BoTninLawTence County,
PaToled from W. Va. PenitentiaIy.

Moundsville, W. Va, July. 15.-
The West Virginia Penitentiary ha
turned out new and wonderful
prison product in Orson Jordan
Jordan was illiterate when he en-
tered the penitentiary nine years
ago as highwayman. He leaves
prison an educated man, under pa.
role of Governor Glasscock.
Now he has passion for good
books. Before he couldn't distin.
guish one letter of the alphabet
from another. He knows geogra-
ply He has studied physiology
He has mastered arithmetic. He
can write fluent hand.
When he was sent up from Mingo
county. for robbery to serve ten
years, Jordan lacked character. In
the light of his learning he declares
that he was a criminal because he
was ignorant. He believes now that
he will make good citizen because
he is educated.
Wants To BE Honest.
MY prison experience has prov
ed profitable to me- said Jordan as
he walked out of the prison a free
man. Il was handicapped in my
early youth by lack of education,
but through the prison school /
have qualified myself to earn an
honest living"
Owing to the fact that he was re-
leased on parole, Jordan did not
get a choice of occupations. For
the next year he is still in the
custody of the penitentiary officials
and during that time he will work
on farm at Captina, whose owner
secured his services by signing up
the usual employment papers used
In parole cases.
The education Of Jordan was ac-
by the reform, not re-
venge" policy of Warden Brown, of
The West Virginia State Prison. The
average prisoner who comes to the
pen lacks education, but he may, ii |
ne elects, attend school during sew
an months OF the year. When wa

Mrs. Geo. J. Mauch Hurt.

Mrs. George J. Mauch is contin-
ed to her home as result of an &C
cident while automobile riding Fri
day evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mauch and some
friends We're out riding and Mrs.
Mauch wished to change from the
front to the back seat in the auto.
As the car was not going fast at
the time she attempted to make the
change while it was in motion. III
doing this she tripped in some man
ner and fell heavily to the ground.
She was placed in the car and tax
en- to her home. At first 1t was fear
ed that she had sustained fractur-
ed bone, but an examination by a
physician revealed the fact that
aside from very painful bruising,
she was not seriously injured. How
ever, she will be confined to her
home for several days as result of
the accident

Important to Our Subscribers.

The publishers of Webster City
newspapers have received notice
from the postoffice department at
Washington that the ruling adopted
sometime ago, that all weekly or
semi-weekly newspapers being sent
to subscribers who are year or
more in arrears must be discontin-
ued, is to be enforced by the depart
ment. The ruling is arbitrary and
must be complied with, otherwise the
publisher will be denied the usual
rate of postage. Whether this pro-
cedure is matter Of justice or not
Is immaterial. The newspaper man
has no other recourse and the mat
ter Is therefore in the hands OF the
subscribers-either the back dues
must be paid or the paper discontin-
ued. In order to comply with this
ruling all our subscribers who are a
year or more In arrears must settle
or the paper going to their address
will be discontinued. We recently
sent statements to all who are ow-
| ing us and these must be responded
to without delay. We hope all our
friends will heed this notice and not
blame the publishers for enforcing
a ruling which they can In no way
disregard.
Very truly yours,

DODGERS GET II CLEAN HITS

In a game in which they were
badly outclassed the local base ball
team went down in defeat to the
Fort Dodge squad Friday after
noon in this city by the score of 10
to Q. Quite a crowd of fans attend
ed the session. The Fort Dodge
team are members of the Iowa State
league and are very fast bunch.
The game started in very good
style, Fort Dodge managing to Sc
cure one score in the second inning.
In that same round the locals OBJ
tanned their only two scores. In the
third inning the Dodgers started
things and placed the pillett in diff
ferent parts of the field at their
will. Chambers pitched for Fort
Dodge and held the locals down to
three clean ones. For the home
squad cred" Saunders, also Of Fort
Dodge, was in the box and he was
badly off. Eleven long, clean safe
ties were piled up from his delivery.
Gilmore, another of the Fort Dodge
squad, played with the home boys
and by some of his antics gave the
visitors at least two scores. Barker.
who has appeared in two games in
the city this season, was placed in
the center garden for one round. He
was then retired and John Dodge
took his place, with Squirting taking
right field. Dodge had three chan
ces and picked as many out OF the
atmosphere. In the third inning
Munson, catcher for Fort Dodge, at
tempted to pick foul from the bat
and sustained badly injured
thumb. He was retired in favor of
Summers. Much in the line Of
snappy ball was displayed by the
Dodgers. The locals after the fifth
inning did not display their usual
pepper, but in the early part of the
session pulled off some fast work.
Although the Fort Dodge bunch are
some faster at present than Webster
City, little more practice will put
the home boys in condition to give
the Dodgers a hard work out should
the two teams meet again this year.
The individual star performance
would be hard to name, as many
good stops were made by both
teams. Brodrick, playing shortstop
position, for the visitors, pulled OH
some fast stunts that received much
applause from the home fans. How
ever, the contest was so one-sldeo
that it lacked interest. The score:

PICKETT'S men
AT GETTYSBURG
COLONEL LOEHR WANTS TO GET
NAMES or THOSE WHO CAN
MAKE THE TRIP.
II 10 n ID, VA.-Special.-

N
This way, Picketts men," shouted
Colonel Charles T. Loehr, one of the
men who followed the fortunes OF the
Confederacy for four long years and
who is still i'm the land Of the living
bright, blithe and busy
Colonel Loehr is a past commander
OF Pickett Camp, is one of the best
posted men who wore the gray. and
is full of "reminiscences. He is work
ing to get every man who was in the
memorable charge up the heights at
Gettysburg into line for the semi-cen-
tennial of the event next July. He
is in communication with John w.
Frazier. the general chairman Of the
committee i'm charge of the celebra-
ton. and hopes to get the names OF
the trip next July.
Colonel Loehr says that tho Federal
government will pay all the expenses
of the neutrality-suspicious. sleep
ing quarters, rations, medical atten-
ton and the like. 1t cannot under
take to pay the travelling expenses of
the veterans. Both Confederate and
Federal veterans will be on hand as
guests of the government.
Mr.. Frazier has heard from 119 of
the 500 survivors OF the Philadelphia
Brigade. which was the center of at
tack on the part OF Pickett's men,
saying they will be on hand.
Mr.. FraZier's idea is TO have Pickett's
men and the survivors of the Phila-
delphia Brigade camp together right
on the field over which the fight took
place-this to be set aside for the
benefit of these two sets of soldiers,
who were in the bloOdiest fight of the
war, where death and devastation was
wrought on both SIDES The idea is
to have the old men camp together,
to have a general hospital tent for
them.
Il will be glad to get the names
/ and addresses of all the survivors of
| Pickett's Division and to arrange for
| ali who can make the trip-free
| board, sleeping quarters and the like, -
said Colonel Loehr. The State has
! passed law which will allow the
counties to send such men as are
unable TO pay their expenses"
