county this season was drove Of l2O
high grade Aberdeen Angus COWS

raiser of Diamond Creek, sold to John
Mann of this place. The herd brought
$4,000 or an average price of $50 per
head, and were purchased for r. H.
Warnbarge, well known stockman of
Madison. Local stockmen say there
is big demand for good cows and
that as a general thing they are sell

been reached here before. High priced
beef is causing farmers here to see
the need and the profit in raising large
herds and as a result many will in

Welcomed by Hotel Manager
Just at That Time,

A certain New York hotel manager
is one of those nervous men who con-
stantly warn their employees against
keeping them in ignorance of any
happening around the place. He hired
new bell boy recently, and gave
him the usual warning:
Remember" he warned, ''if any
thing happens around here I'm to be
the first person to know about it."
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters of the Con-
federacy one of the best rooms in the
place, when the new bell boy rushed
In with his hair on end
Something's happened" he yelled
The three Daughters of the Con-
federacy turned coldly. and the man
ager, anxious to get rid of the boy,
demanded to know the trouble.
THAT old cat down stairs" said
the boy, has just had Kittens What
shall we do?"
The managers suggestion was

Topeka, Kan-After visiting the
Kansas state penitentiary the charit
able and penal institution committee
OF the senate is considering seriously
a recommendation that $250,000 be ap
propriated by the legislature this year
for the construction of a new model
penal structure in central Kansas. 1t
is said that the committee is practic-
ally unanimously in favor of such an
expenditure. The committee plans to
/; je the present plant into a ware
l45ise for county prisoners.
II is agreed by the legislature that
the present pententiary is a disgrace
has done great work to improve con-
,iitions since he has taken hold or
the institution, concurs in the COM
mittee's opinion All that money can
do that is, the available money
has been done in the last four years
of the Codding administration, and
stiil the prisoners are forced to live in
disease breeding cells and the state
is spending thousands of dollars try
ing to make inhabitable the various
old and impractical buildings.
The proposed penitentiary, it is
pointed out, could be built cheaply be-
cause of the manufacture of brick at
the present prison and because of the
labor that could be donated to the
work. The new prison would have no
high walls about it. Each cell would
be ventilated and provided with sani-
tary facilities for the needs of the in
mates.
The plant now in operation would
be continued 1t is estimated that the
mines are good for at least 60 years.
The brick plant facilities are complete
in the matter of material. The
twine plant is success. 1t is pro-
posed to bring county prisoners to
Lansing and pay them a small sum to
work if necessary. The counties
would save thousands of dollars an
nually on the meals of the prisoners
and other upkeep and the state would
have their assistance in working the
mines and brick plants.

lost three young horses. valued at
$1,000. due to the work of rats. On

ting the grain to the ground where
the horses could reach it. After eat
ing all the wheat they wanted the
