The State Board of Control were in ses
sion here last Wednesday, Oct. 9th.
]. M. received promotion this week. He
is now handling front page "copy'' and
making good.
After two weeks of dark, dismal weather
it is certainly cheering to have look at old
king Saul again.
Mr. F. A. Whittier, State Parole agent, left
last Sunday for Oakland, CAL, to attend
the annual convention of the American
Prison Congress which will be in session in
thai city from the 9th to 14th of this month.
Chicago secured the consolation pennani
anyhow even though they did fail tc
annex either the National or American, but
it is a sad disappointment to them to Lave
the Feds shut out of the championship
series.
We are sorry to learn that Harry.P., our
stellar little short stop, is out of the game
for the season. 1t has now developed that
he broke his right ankle bone in last week s
contest. He will be sadly missed on the
line up.
As both the Warden and the members OF
the Board of Parole are at present date
attending the Prison Congress Conven-
ton at Oakland, Cal. 1t will be the latter
end of the month before the Board will be
able to convene here for their regular meet
ings.
Doc. Ramaker, our resident dentist, took
the afternoon off last Saturday and tried a
whirl at Americans great National game.
1t was quite apparent that Doc, in the past,
has paid more attention to mastering the
mysteries Of his profession then he did to
acquiring the more subtle points in base
ball. Never mind, Doc, even if they did
have laugh at you expense-your turn is
coming.
The postponed game with River Falls,
Wis, will be staged next Saturday wealth
er permitting. 1t should be good contest;
but if the viitors are as good as their reputa-
tion is around here, we are afraid the deci-
sion will 60 against us as our team is in bad
condition. With Harry in the hospital,
Van on the shelf, and Ray out of it pros
poets of victory does not look any to
bright. However, that Jade s'Luck" may
give us boost when we are so badly in
need of one.
Uncle John has been appointed band and
orchestra director. vice Count Gren Ella
has departed hence. Uncle John, is demon
strating his ability for the newly aquired
post in a most thorough manner. The
band is receiving regular series of practices
and is really doing very creditable work.
Uncle John is one of the oldest members of
our Instrumental organizations 1--WE
don't mean in age Uncle, for you re quit a
boy yeti, and has always been an ardent
and progressive student.
The orchestra Boys under Uncle John S
dictatorship are doing themselves proud
these days. A week ago, in addition to the
customary selections rendered at our weekly
shows, "B" our 'Ivory Kid" rendered a
piano recital that was highly appreciated
and enjoyed by all present. And then last
show night we enjoyed particularly fine
duet; the entertainers on this occasion being
Messrs. "B" on the piano and ''F'' with
his violin. Both are regular members of the
orchestra, Try duet some Sunday, Boys
we would sure appreciate it.
Mr.. Walter A. Mcclellan, the popular
cashier of this institution, resigned his posi-.
tion here the first of the month. Mr.. Nc
kellar was an efficient and industrious work
er and was highly thought of, both by hi:
superiors and associates; and it is with regret
they view his departure from their midst.
No doub. Mr.. McKellar made the change
on account of future advancement, for while
his position here was good one still advan-
cement would naturally be slow, owing to
the restricted number of positions in this in
stitution. In his new field Mr.. McKellar
will have fine opportunity for advancement
and we predict bright and prosperous fu-
ture for our young departed cashier. Mr..
McKellar is now connected with the Capital
Trust Company of St. Paul, Mimi, having
entered their employ the first of the week,
after short vacation which he spent on
trip through Montana with Mr.. Wheeler,
the president of the concern with which he
is now connected.
