M. B. BOYS' CLUB FORMED

fkinday evening at the City Mission.
There are several boys' clubs In running
order at the mlaaion. but need was felt
for another for boys ranging In sites from
U to IT years, so Gus Miller, chief proba
tion officer, waa Invited to assist In get
ting the dub started.' The Boys enjoyed
the secret work and the following officers
were alerted for six months: Charles

county Jail, leaving them under' control
of the sheriff. Its crlliclxrd thla. vigorously.
'You couldn't find a hlBh class man In
the Cnited Mates to be superintendent
of your workhouse under a sheriff un
less there is a man living In Omaha
capable of doing ths work, who would
be able to cope with the situation by
reason of being familiar with local con
ditions," he declared.
My theory of a workhouse Is that It
should be self-supporting and should re
turn a profit, which may be used for
maintenance of the prisoners' families
snd for themselves; that the city should
use all Its products an! that none of
these should be sold In ths open market,"
ssld Mr. McPonsId. "The prisoners
should do any work that will beautify
or build up ths city.
For Instance? we are making 4,W),0
building bricks a yesr, which have been
used by the city In the building of schools,
and 2,O0O.OHO sower brlrks, whl.'h hava
gone into the city's seweis.

We built the beiuitlful Hopewell
hospital for tubercular patients at a
cost of Sy.000, saving the ctty $33,one over
ths lowest contractors' estimates and
other buildings. with similar savings.
These are eoms of the business aspect.
of the workhouse, but I pay more at
tention to its value from a humanitarian
standpoint and regard it as of greater
Importance. An Industrial education farm
properly describes my theory. Prisoner.
are sent out after serving tnsir sen
tenoes .with knowledge of how to do
work well. .
"Wo have a liquor cure which was sf

Although Mr, McDonald is opposed to
guns or shackles in nananng prisoners

escapes from It so far this year and
there were only two last year.
Saturday night assemblies In which
musto and other forms of entertainment,
short talks by ths superintendent and
