'outlet CliurKei Cruelty.
Hut very little is known by tho outside
world of the treatment accorded Inmates of
tho stato penitentiary under n popocrotlc
administration. A convict signing his name
Thomas Osborne, charges several officials at
tho penitentiary with extreme cruelty and
Insists that several convicts have died as a
result of Improper medical treatment. Par
tlcular reference Is mailo to Physician Kd
wards, who is fnmlllarly known as tho "man
who made Hryan at tho Chicago conven
tlon '
It Is alleged that Thomas Oallaghcr. whrse
recent death at tho penitentiary was re
ported to have occurred from eating soap
and vinegar, really died from consumption
and his end was hastened by the treatment
ho received. It Is charged that the hospi
tal has been utilized by Edwards to Increaso
hl personal revenue and that only those
who "have coin" can expect to receive
proper treatment therein. The further
charge, Is made that tho convlctH are fed
from tho leavings of the warden's table
causing the formation of Intestinal troubles
The prison authorities attempted to con
real tho cause of Gallagher's death and pro
tested against the report that he had been
allowed to eat Injurious substance while in
confinement.

WASHINGTON. July 27. (Special Tele
gram.) "Should Governor Shaw appoint
Editor Perkins of Sioux City to tho Gear
senatorial vacancy, as now seems entirely
probable, It will be tho result of an agree
ment thnt will prove far-reaching nnd one
In which Senator Allison, J. XV. BIytho.
Judge Hubbard of Cedar llaplds and Gov
ernor Shaw aro mutually Interested," said
nn Iowa officeholder today. "This agreement
being none other than running Editor Per
kins for the governorship In 1901, nnd Gov
ernor Shaw for the senate, the understand
ing being thnt Perkins shall mnko way for
Shaw. To bring about this result, which Is
but continuance of the old political Iowa,
regime In a new dress, required treatment
as delicate ns nn operation for appendici
tis. To surmount apparent obstacles and to
put the party upon a stronger footing than
over was the ambition of the 'big four.' and
though It temporarily beclouds the ambi
tions of other senatorial and gubernatorial
candidates, there Is not t single Iowa poli
tician In Washington but admits that Is
solves a number of perplexing questions and
Is good politics nil nround.
"It has been known for koine time that
Editor Perkins had his eye on the govern
orship, but he could see no way to gratify
his ambition ns long ns Senator Gear or Al
lison remained In active life. Now Gear has
been called to his fathers, nnd new condi
tions present themselves which Shnw nnd
Perkins have not been slow to tako ad
vantage of. While It Is not expected thnt
either Shaw or Perkins will have no opposi
tion, the fact remains thnt both are strong
In sections of the stato from which they
come, nnd they will have the support nt men
who have made governors nnd senators for
lo, these many years."
IIIiIn mi (lie WlnlielniRo Seliool.
Patrick Handley of Anndnrko, Okla., who
Is lowest among those bidding on the Win
nebago school building, will probably re
cctvo tho contract, having put In n bid of
$30,750 for the complete plant, Including the
water plant. This bid provides for tho con
crete foundation, which tho department hns
asked Mr. Handley to demonstrate before
anything definite Is done. Even though con
crete Is not used, Handley Is still the low
est bidder using stone, his bid being $32,000.
Upon the water plant I). Rnhm of Omaha
is the lowest among the bidders scheduling
nnd he will undoubtedly receive the con
tract for $2,390, which amount must be de
ducted from Hnndley's bid.
Tho Indian bureau estimated tho build
ing nnd plant would cost $3S,000, but now
the officials, with these bids before them, be
lleve that the dormatory can be built nnd
completely equipped for $35,000, nllowlng
$5,000 of the $10,000 specifically appropriated
to b spent In bettering the scrvlco on the
Omaha ngency. According to nn ofllclal
connected with the Indian ofllco industrial
teachers aro needed at several reservation
nnd non-rescrvatlon schools throughout the
country and thero will be quite a demand
made upon the Civil Service commission for
an eligible register early in tho fall. En
glneers nnd clectrlclnns aro also needed,
which opens up a new field for young men
who desire to enter Into government service.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 27. The report of
the explorer. Borchgrovlnck. who was sent
to the Antarctic In the Interest of science
In tho auxiliary screw bark Southern Cross,
has been received here. Tho explorer says
Ice was first encountered on December 30.
1S9S, and that two weeks later, on January
II, land was first sighted. It proved to bo
Balleney Island, but near oppronch was Im
possible, owing to the Ice. For weeks tho
vessel wns hemmed In the pack nnd prepa
rations for a sledge Journey to Vlctorlaland
wore being perfected, when tho pressure
slackened a little. The Southern Cross had
been hemmed In for forty-eight days and on
the night of February 17 dropped anchor In
Robertson's bay. Stores were landed nt
South Vlctorlaland.
On tho 23d of January n severe southeast
gale occurred. It lasted for forty-eight
hours and two anchors were lost. The re
port states that but for tho heroic work of
the men tho vessel would have been lost.
On March 1 the union Jack wns hoisted on
Vlctorlaland and on March 2 tho Southern
Cross, commanded by Captain Jnnsen,
sailed for New Zealand, leaving Borchgro
vlnck and a patty of ten at tho settlement
of Capo Adare, 2,500 miles south of Aus
tralia. Tho party remained In tho vicinity of
Adaro for some months, experiencing great
hardships nnd suffering Intensely from the
extreme cold.
On July 20 an attempt wns made to rea. h
the cn.iK land to tho west of Robertson's
bay, where tho camp was pitched, with tho
thermometer registering 40 degrees below
zero.
An Island was discovered nnd named Diiko
of York Island. On this Journey the lowe.it
tempcraturo registered wns experienced,
namely, 52 degrees below zero.
Subsequently, expeditions from Robert
son'o bay wero dispatched during August
and September, with tho result that valua
ble collections wero made and observations
attended to whenever opportunity nffnrdod.
Tho land townrd the southwest of Duke
of York Island in the admiralty rargo was
visited and named Gelklo Island, owing to
Its geological interest.
Duko of York Island Itself was found to
be cut through from cast to west by broad,
deep quartz reefs.
"It may hero suffice to say," remarked Mr.
Borchgrcvlnck, "unit minerals of great valuo
llo In this vicinity and undoubtedly In tlmo
to come science will rccelvo that support
(urn commerce which the progress of civil
ization Justifies nnd that tho future Antarc
tic oxploratlonH will never be In want of
financial support.
"Ofil'ially. I took possession of Duke of
York Island for Sir George Newuts.
"Gelklo Island, which was vUlted on sov
ornl occasions. Is nho rich In minerals."
RUSSIA IN MARKET FOR COAL

PHILADELPHIA, July 27. Tho recent
purchase of Pennsylvania soft coal for ship
ment to Cronstadl on Russian account was
followed today by tho announcement that
the British steamship Hotasu has beon
cbnrtcred to loud 1,000 tons of the samo
cargo for Outujewsky, Russia. It Is thought
probable that tho coal Is Intended for rail
road consumption. Russia Is Juit now suf
fering from a coal famine, tho importations
from England and Germany, added to tho
rather meager supply from Its own mines,
being Insufficient for tho demands of Its
rapidly growing Industries. Moro shlpmonts
to tho czar's eountry are looked for.
Tho United Slates government Is In the
market for vessels to carry coal tu tho
Philippines, for which $S per ton Is now
paid as frolght. A board of Inspection hus
Just finished an examination of the ship
John A. Briggs, which recently arrived 'at
your Pcruna tin excellent medicine
to htiild tip iiiul restore the nervous
system. My work is out doors nnd
traveling to it great extent, and
during inclement wenther 1 cspe
eially value it as a preventive
jugalust colds, and as a catarrhal
treatment it is unexcelled. It is
with much pleasuro 1 give Pcruna
my heartv endorsement."
Yours" truly, Ida llarncd.
Every one who Is In the least degree sub
ject to nervousness, sleeplessness, prostra
this port from Puget bound, with a view
of purchasing It for n coal hulk, to be
stationed at Manila. The result of tho ex
amination was not mado public, but It is
likely that the vessel will be purchased by
tbo government. Tho ship St. Mark was
recently bought for this purpose.

Nn. 1 left Atchison, at 11:15 last night, for

tho robber got off and escaped. While In
tho car his musk slipped down and revealed
the fact that he was n negro. An hour
later the Atchison police arrested a colored
man, who gave his name as Davis, nnd ho
Is being held. Tho man says ho Is from
Denver.

"I only tool; three bottles of Pern
naaud one of .Manalin, which gencr

of the stontiich and bowels,
and it is a most splendid tonic.
Peruna Is n wonderful medlclno for catarrh
of the stomach. If I ever havo any nioro
trouble I will most assuredly take Peruna.
It Is the only medicine 1 ever took that
did me nny good. Peruna acted like magic
In my case. 1 bellee It Is tho best medi

nml sometimes fnlntness, after each meal,
followed by sour creations nnd bolchlng ot

soon decompise Instead of digrutlng.

Mrs. Fred Itolulc, Cocglclu, Ind..
