LIFE IN THE PENITENTIARY
Ex-Ooiwict Oharlcs Lincoln Talks of His
Experience in Nebraska's Prison !
DEATH IN LIFE FOR THE CONVICTS THERE

of Ofllclul Injiullcc.
To steal or not to steal ? That was the
question that was agitating the mind of
Charles Lincoln , ai ex-convict , who had Just
been released from the Nebraska peniten
tiary , ns ho .vended bin way to Tin : BEU of
fice on Sunday to relate some of his experi
ences while an inmate of the state penal In
stitution , nnd asked that some of the abuses
there bo corrected m order that tlio unfor
tunates whom ho had left behind might not
bo compelled to suffer some of the wrongs
that had ho undergone.
Ho was turned loose last Thursday In the
gnrb of an cx-convlct , without a cent In his
pocket , to prollt by his experience in reaping
the inevitable reward of crime , and llvo
henceforth the llfo of an honest , law-abiding
citizen if possible , or to again cuter upon the
career of nn outlaw.
Lincoln is15 years of age , and , according
to his own statement , has passed less than
two years out of the past twenty outside of
prison locks and bars.
"Why was 1 not given the $5 that the
state says shall bo given to each convict
when ho is released ( " ho asked. "They
turned me out without a cent. I asked for
some money , but they told mo to skip. I
walked hero from Lincoln , working for my
meals nt farm bouses , but what am I to do
now but stcaU I got hero yesterday and
asked at several places for work , anil told
the truth about myself , but that was thu
very thing that prevented mo from outain-
ing'lt. 1 want t ) bo honest , for I have had
enough of prison life , but I will have to con
tinue to be a criminal. They turned mo out
with clothes that branded mo as a convict ,
and last night 1 stole this hat. ICveu If it Is
an old OIK ; , it is better than the one they
gave mo when I left the peni
tentiary. I had no overcoat , and I
had to steal ono. 1 loft it down
below hero , for 1 was afraid to wear it in
daylight for fear that I might meet the fol
low who owned It before I did. 1 tun telling
you the truth to show you the position that
i find myself in , and you can call nn ofticor if
you want to. 1'ut yourself in my place and
tell mo what you would do.
rniililied for HcliiK Hungry.
"Wo have at least all the bread wo want
In prison , and it Is as good as anybody gets ,
but us much can't always bo said of the rest
of the fare. That was what Hindu mo got my
Ilrst punishment down hero at Lincoln. 4
was In that strike of 18b7. when wo struck
for better grub. A convict named Brcnnan
and I were placed in a cell and our hands
wcro put out through the bars , and then
chained together. Wo could not sit do\vn
nor lie down , and they kept us there for nine
teen days , except when let down to get our
bread and water.
"When I was Dually released from punish
ment and let down the last time , 1 loll to the
Jloor insensible. Probably that was why
they did not put me up again. That long
scar on the top of my head 1 got before they
locked mo up there , for when I said J wanted
grub that was lit to cat Adams hit mo with
his cano across there and knocked mo to the
Door. Then they took mo up and chained
mo up. I have been punished a dozen times ,
and 1 don't complain about it whenever 1
violated the rules , but 1 do say that the pun
ishment Is too severe. I was smoking once
nt night In my cell , and the guard found mo
nt it. I know 1 would have to go up , and as
they always search you to see that you don't
take any tobacco Into the solitary I cut up
my whole plug nnd stuffol it in the too of my
shoo. Then whenever I was let down to eat
I could got out u chow , and that would do mo
all day.
" 1 was strung up for eight days after they
brought mo back after my escape , and when
they let mo out into the yard again and I
was put to work unloading eoali I had to
carry a ball and chain that weighed thirty
pounds. I were that for sixty days , and it
was Dually taken off at the request of one of
the Women's Christian Temperance union
ladies who visited tlio prison and asked the
warden to remove it. There has to bo some
system of punishment in the prison , and I
know that ns well as anybody , but it is a llt-
tlo too stllT down hc p.
Some of the Unit IValurc.H.
"I have been In three penitenti
aries , , nnd I know something about
prison lifo. It is hunt enough at the best ,
without being mndo worse by guards and
keepers who don't know what mercy or pity
Is. 1 remember seeing a colored convict named
Wilson knocked down with a club , and then
Illues , Sherman , Gardner , Adams anil
Tucker all Jumped on him and smashed his
head with their billies. All ho did was to
skip ono plato of hash to get another that
hud moro on It. The pen don't begin to be
now what it used to bo , for they don't feed
us well , and things ain't in un.\ kind of
shape. The bedding is ia awful shape , and
thu bed ticks are not lllled when they get
thin. 1 have asked often to have mine re
filled , and it would go for months after that
before it was done , and others the same.
way. It would 'keep you sleeping on
thu iron slats. The worst thing Is
the bedbugs and cockroaches and llco.
It Is Impossible to get a night's sleep
In that cell house in the summer time , and
It is bad enough in the winter , i'hn only
way I could sleep in the summer was by
stealing coal oil from the shop and rubbing
it all over my body. Then the bugs would
not como near mo. I would take tlio little
vial that is used for a vinegar bottle in the
cell and carry the oil to thu cell in that.
When Nobes was tlio warden there ho used
to keep a budbug gang , that nut In all the
llmo going through thu cells and killing the
bugs , and squirting bi-n/lno , oil of cedar and
turpentine in the cracks. That kept them
down , but there hasn't been anything of the
kind there lately.
"The prisoners have not been looked after
ns they should bo by the prison doctor. Dr.
Canter used to give what they call -house
mixture' for anything and everything that
called for medicine of any kind. When I
broke this linger , by having it caught be
tween two barrels on the chute , ho gave mo
a dose of that , and sent mo to my cell , and 10I
had to have It set by a colored convict who
was bomething of a doctor. If a man has any
money down there ho can got a soft Job K
the pantry , for the steward will take the
money and got him the place. Prisoners in
the solitary have to put up the sainii way if
they want to see the warden. If they have
any money the cell house runner will take It
nnd then they will have a chance to see tlio
warden , but If not they will have to take
their chances.
Solitary Cell * and "Math" Itooms.
"The two solitaries ain't nliko. The
north ono Is what they call the
lower house , and the other is the
upper house , but It is generally known
us the senate. When tlio warden sends
a man to the hole , It is either 'Tako him teas
the lower house , ' or to the upper house , as
the case may bo. The lower house means
three days or moro , and the senate means
eight or ten dnjs or inure. If a man goes to
the lower house the
warden calls on him
mery morning after the third day , but If ho
goes to the senate ho never hears from the
warden until after eight days , and ho knows
what Is coming when ho goes.'in there. The
tinthing ain't what It ought to be. In the
old bath room the tub was a barrel cut down ,
i HPI h 'ti n company was marched in they
wo'ild ' go in ono at a time , one right after
thr other , nnd the water wouldn't lioenanged
OTiMI the whole company of thirty-ilvo had

fo wherfl the laundry used to be , there are

them work hard. Some of them can't do It
no way they can fix it , but Williams , that
boy who went down from hero for life , can
pot his task out by noon every day , nnd have
the restof the time to himself. It Just comes
natural to him.
"Tho irunnls on the walls are nn ugly lot.
I have seen men shot at a dozen times Just
because they happened to drop the lids off
their cell buckets whllocarr.vliig them out to
thu rack. The guards shoot nt them for fun.
I siw one of them shoot nt n convict that
way , and the ball went through the foot of
the oflleor who was taking the men out. I
don't ask any odds for tnxsclf , because 1 am
out of there , but I would like to have the
boys who are left there treated half-way
decent. "
And so Lincoln continued to answer ques
tions and express his opinion , cither favora
ble or otherwise , of various persons and
things connected with the penitentiary.

Facts That Must Ho Considered by the
Voter * of the City.
It Is now less than a month until an
election will bo hold at which the voters of
South Omaha will bo called upon to cheese
their servants for another term.
There has been no change In the character
of the contest about to take place. It is
simply law and order and business methods
against the field , whatever that may contain.
Thn present city government has Inherited
an overlap of over $18,003 from Its predeces
sor. The financial affairs of the city were
In an almost hopeless state on the 1st of
August , 1S'J2 ' , the beginning of the ilscal
year. Not only wcro the current expenses
to bo met , but It was necessary to provide
for paying back indebtedness and
nothing in siuht for the pur
pose. The city council , after careful
thought luul duo deliberation , decided lln llo
levy an occupation tax , to bo known ns an
overlap fund. It was not a popular measure
it never Is although adopted in many
cities In cases of emergencies. The fund thus
derived , together with the regular income of
the city , has placed the finances in better
shape than they have ever been since- .
South Omaha was organized into a
municipality. The police fund will hold
out to the end of the fiscal year in August ,
the engineers fund Is also ample , the general i :
oral fund ditto , and the street repair fmjd
will Just about h9ld out. The salary fund
will run Into April and the public light fund
will bo exhausted in May. The Droaud water
fund is exhausted , as it has never been moro
than sufllcicnt to pay moro than current ex
penses , leaving out Dro hydrants. Prac '
tically all the occupation tax has been col 1-
lected , or nearly $11,000 , all of which has
been applied to liquidate the overlap indebt ist
edness.
Mr. Wyman. chairman of the Dnnnco com
mittee , has stated that the new ilscal year
would begin with not moro than 2,000 to
) ,000 overlap , notwithstanding the fact that
in addition to the itr
current expenses an over
lap of f 18,000 hud to ba taken care of by the
present administration.
The question to bo settled at thn coming
election is , shall this state of things bo per
petuated , or shall wo go back to the old way , ?
It is not a question of what political party
shall govern the affairs of the city. Good
men , respectable citlrcns , who van command
the respect and confidence of the law abid
ing element , should bo selected for ofllcc ,
and if this is done tlio result need not DO
feared.

oven more attractive and that's the price that's at
tached to each suit. Half the suits in the entire win

center of this ad-and the other half carry the SG.75
card. The $5-75 suils of which two whole rows are
shown are in handsome checked cheviots in
four separate shades nnd styles in both round and
square corner sacks. Through the glass you'd take
them for eight or nine dollar suits
and you would n'tbem'staken.
