Only One Bid For Convicts.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 25.-The
Board of Prison Commission has re-
ceived but one bid for the employ
ment of convicts. The bid was sub
mitted by Charles Irion of this city
and is for seventy-five able-bOdied
men at rs cents day and for fifty
disabled men at whatever they may
be able to earn.
The board advertised for bids for
the employment OF $50 convicts. In
the bid it is set out that should the
board abolish the contract system
the contracts expire Immediately.
The board will not let the contract
until the September meeting.
A contract held by the Hoge-Mont-
gomery Company on 400 convicts
expires in January.
The Hoge-Montgomery Co, prison
labor contracts, declined tonight to
give any statement why the compa-
ny did not bid on the $50 convicts
to be let today for four years. A
member of the firm said for business
reasons the company was not inter-
ested in the contracts. 1t has not
been determined for publication
what will be done.
Warden Wells says the discipline
of the convicts is better and the num-
Der Of shoes produced is greater than
ever before.

Raymer Tinsley Heard From.

Mr.. Raymer Tinsley, who went to
Germany several weeks ago for the
purpose of studying in Universities
in that country, has been heard from
after many days of anxiety on the
part of his relatives and friends
here. Mr.. Tinsley states that he
has encountered no hardships of i'm
portance and has met with no mall
treatment from the Germans. One
would judge from the contents Of
the letter that conditions in that
country were greatly exaggerated
and that with the exception of q
raise in the price of food stuffs
things are little changed thus far.
At the time the letter was written
Mr.. Tinsley was in Freiburg.. but
intended to move to Hanover soon.

is not the tree which is being wor-

the tree. This spirit is supposed to be

Another form of three worship is
tree marriage. In these days of en-

that the marriage of a village belle to
q tree should be solemnized with all
the pomp and glory of the union Of
mar and wife; yet such is the case. In
the very small villages where the fe-
male p~redominates and where the line
of caste is markedly drawn, it often
equal caste to the female whose time
has come to marry. Inasmuch as the
tree represents a deity who can as

of a manageable daughter who has
become a burden to the family take
her to the village god. The marriage

digging a well on his ranch, five miles
west Of Aladdin. At the depth OF a
hundred feet the drill struck a strong
rock formation, a small piece adhering
to the drill point, and when brought
to the surface was found to contain
considerable free gold. The specimen
was taken to Deadwood and assayed to
the tune of $4,000 per ton, and the as
sayer pronounced the rock to be of a
silverite character. Mr.. Brownfield
came to Belle Fourche, interested To-
cal capitalists in the prospect and a
shaft is 10Y being sunk. Reports
were received from the works to to
effect that prospects were picking up,
due to the fact that a new vein had
been found. The mine is in the heart
