STATE HOUSES
1000 INMATES
sEMI-ANNuAL REPORT OF STATE
INSTITUTIONS SHOWS MORE
MEN INSANE THAN WO-
MEN,

Sioux Falls, S. D.--The semi-an-
nual report of the board composed of
women which at intervals investi-
sates conditions at the various penal
and charitable institutions of South
Dakota, Mrs. Mana E. Gilbert of Sa-
lem, being the head of the board,
MAS been issued and shows some in
teresting facts.
1t is shown by the report that the
Sioux Falls penitentiary takes care
of about two hundred prisoners the
year around, three of which at the
time the report was prepared, were
women. Fourteen men, are life pris-
oners, and twenty-six men under SEN
men are at work in the binder-twine
manufacturing plant and twenty nine
are engaged at stone cutting. Pris-
oners given work are paid from five
to 25 cents per day, which they can
use for spending money or are allow
ed to accumulate until timeof their
discharge.
The state school for the deaf in
Sioux Falls has an even 100 pupils,
the home for the feeble minded at
Redfield has 800 inmates, and the
school for the blind at Gary about
40. The state institution at Custer
for the treatment of persons afflict-
ed with tuberculosis is full to it's ca
pacity with 80 patients, and with
about 20 On the waiting list.
The state hospital for the insane
at Yankton heads the list of the state
penal and charitable Institutions as
to number of inmates, there being
an even 1000 at the time the report
was prepared. OF this number 624
were men and 376 We're women.
The state training school at Plank
inton, which in reality is state
reform school, had as inmates 81
boys and % girls, of which number
t16 boys and girls are out on parole
their conduct having improved to
such an extent that it was deemed
safe to release them under the regu-
lar parole conditions, which requires
personal reports from them at inter
walls aud the imposing of other safe
guards for their -well-heing while
out from under the care of the super
intendent Of the reform school and
the members of his staff.

He states that he simply is erecutor

to be the parent system of the other

A meeting of the stockholders of tho
various lines will be held in the near

arrangement may be made for the
consolidation of all the lines under
one management.

NEW PLAN FOR
CITY CARRIERS
DAILY REPUBLICAN WILL RE
SOLD TO CARRIERS WHO
WILL SELL TO SUBSCRIBE
ERS.

Starting with the New Year The
Mitchell Daily Republican will be de-
Iyered under what is known as the
independent Carrier System.
This system which is universally
used in larger cities, where it has
proved great success, provides that
the carriers be placed under bond.
They will buy their papers from the
Republican, paying their bills each
week and selling them to subscribers
at the regular subscription rates.
The carriers will have complete
charge Of the collections, although
subscribers who have been in the
habit OF paying annually or semi
annually ttnsadyance at the Republi-
3 can. office may continue to do so.
| Statements will be mailed to these
SUBSCRIBERS promptly on expiration
. and they must be paid promptly since
the carrier pays his bill every week.
