To Redeem Convicts.

In the spring the third meeting of the legislative committee appointee to solve the prison, labor problem, will hie held at the -no thern prison in Michigan City, and it is thought | that it will then be decided by the | commission to draw up a bill to present to the next legislature recommending certain changes in the work at the state prisons. The commission is also coasidering the idea of Classifying the prisoners. Secretary of State Board erf Charities Bicktreii says that it is his observation that the young man who has been sent to the penitentiary for the first time is, in inOst cases, not a bad and confirmed criminal, and his mind is immatured. Being constantly with the older criminals he becomes easily influenced and his mind becomes diseased. The commission hopes in some way to have this stopped. Under the present system the con-

victs learn no trade, and after they leave the prison they have no way to earn a living, duly as common laborers. It is the intention, if it can he done, to do away with part of tire contract labor and put the convicts to learning trades, so that when the men hnve served their time they can make living wages. To make all these changes means considerable co tto the state, but will no doubt be for the best in every instance.

Don’t Admire The Tooter’s Talents.

Rensselaer has a hollow-headed, horn-faced thick-lipped individual, who finds great pleasure in making nil the trains, and at intervals before the arrival of trains, he begins a tooting in imitation of a coming train. Persons who are not well acquainted with his toot, leave their seats in the deptyt, grab their bundles and hasten outside, only to see the fool imitator laughing in his sleeves. The fellow is so fond of bis joke that he is at the depot to meet all trains and bis head is employed at tooting, when he ought to be earning a dollar a day to defray the expense of his appetite. —Brookston Reporter.

How to Fertilize Bogus Soil.

“The Improvement of Unproductive Black Soils” is the title of the last bulletin from the Purdue Experiment Station. It shows how to fertilize the “bogus land” found in nearly every county in northern Indiana and thus reclaim thousands of acres of unproductive soil. The bulletin will be sent free on application to the Director of the Experiment Station, Purdue University, LaFayette, Ind.

The B. & L. Commission.

Shortly after of the last Legislature Governor Matthews appointed a committee consisting of John H. Holiday and J. E. McCullough, of Indianapolis, and Bellamy Sutton, o* Shelbyville, to draft a bill for the government of building and loan association. This committee will hold its second meeting within the next week. The committee was created in accordance with an act of the Legislature. The members of the committee say they will have little that cau be made public until after the bill has been prepared. They have until next April to get the bill in readiness and will probably occupy the full time in its preparation. The building and loan system in Indiana is to be investigated, besides the laws regulating these associations in other states. Any one desiring to sell or borrow money on Life Insurance Policies, write to, or call upon, Ferguson, Wilson A Co.

Thecoutity seat papers were very careful to not publish the fact to their ; res£lers that the now conrn house order was made in commisioner Jones’ absence, . leaving their readers to infer that the full hoard was present and that the 6rder was unanimous, and only mentioned the fact after attention was called to the matter iu the Press. —Remington Press. Anything to stir local prejudice and jealousy, is the plan of those whose organ the in the anti-court house campaign, and of wbieh the ebove is a sample. The statement that the county seat papers were trying to suppress the fact of Mr. Jones’ absensfyis ■ ,# entirely without trujb, at least so far as The Republican was concerned. The absolute proof of this fact, is found in the paragraph which we here republish, from The Republican of Dec., 19, and up to which time the only attitude of the Press, in regard to the court house order, had been in commendation of it. Here is the item referred to, just as it appeared on the first page of our issue of Dec., 19. “Hon. D. R. Jones, commissioner from the third district, has not yet recovered from his sickness of a month or two ago, and was unable (o attend the Decemeer term, of the Commissioners’ court, at all.”

s?hat is described as the narrowest escape on record, occured at the mantrap, a dangerous crossing of the Monon, just below Lafayette, one day last week. Two men, both very drank, driving a single horse rig, were run into by a Monon train. The road and the railroad run together for quite a distance at this place, and when the tram struck the rig the men were driving right down the track, and the engine struck the rear end of the wagon. The wagon was thrown to one side, the horse tom to shreds; and when the train was stopped both men were found on the pilot of the engine not dead but dead-drunk. One man’s head was cut a little and the other was not hurt in the least.
