Returns In a Feeble and Needy
Condition.

PittSfield, MaSS.-After wandering

try George Churchill has returned to
this city. In this interval of years all
Of his relatives have died except an
aged sister, Mrs. George Murdoch.
Churchill, after leaving Pittsfeld,
never communicated with his relatives.
They believed him dead. In 1881 Mrs.
Murdoch read in the newspapers of the
death of George Churchill in Ohio.
His body had been buried. and the
family here believed that the missing
George Churchill of Pittsfeld was the
person who had died.
Recently gray haired, bearded
stranger revealed himself to the old
family physician of the Churchills as
the long absent George Churchill
From the physician he learned his
sister was still living and was eighty
one years Old, but in feeble health
The physician prepared the sister for
a meeting with the brother she had so
long believed to be dead. Churchill.
now aged siXty-nine, and his elder sis

Mrs. Murdoch was greatly shocked by
the temperance Of her brother
Churchill's story is one of wander
lust. He was a WoodWorker when he
went away, and he followed his trade
for years. New processes Of labor saw

his trade. He turned his hand to cook

CONVICT LABOR TO
Be TRIED IN KANSAS
Will Start Work on Roads In
Spring as Experiment.

Topeka.-Two gangs of prisoners
100 from the state penitentiary and
100 from the state reformatory-will
be placed at work next spring building
roads. 1t will be an experiment.
If it works we'll more gangs will be
put out; if it fails the two gangs will
be returned to their respective institu-
lions. The plans in detail will be work
ed out this winter by Governor Cap
per, Warden Codding and Superinten-
dent Herr.
Under the constitution the state can
not engage in internal improvements,
such as road work. For that reason
the prisoners will have to work under
the jurisdiction of county authorities
This will necessitate the state entering
into arrangements with a couple Of
counties to try the plan.
The state can loan the prisoners to
the counties. Just what counties will
be selected isn't settled, but one will
be in eastern central Kansas, in proX-
unity to the penitentiary and the other
in central Kansas, near the Hutchin-
son reformatory
Warden Codding says the peniten-
tiary cannot spare more than 100 pris-
oners next year for road work. eve
can work most of the men at the pris-
on to better advantage" said he. "By
mining coal for the state institutions
we can save the state a vast sum Of
money. Then our brick plant can save
the state much money by supplying
the brick to the different institutions.
Our Irvine plant is q money saver for
the people, and our big farm can be
operated at profit to the prison"
1t is planned to put only the most
trustworthy men on road work. They
will not be handcuffed or chained or
kept in a barricade. They will be
treated just as free labor. That is the
way they are handled in Colorado.
An agreement will be made by
which each man who does good work
on the road will be given three months
good time each year instead of one
month. The good time offer will be
the great inducement for the men to
stick to the job. The state will require
the county to furnish food and shelter
for the men. The state will donate
their services.
