Governor Stubbs has authorized the board of directors of the State Penitentiary to call a special meeting for the purpose of approving- the purchase of a lot of new supplies for the kitchen at tne penitentiary.

The kitchen and dining rooms will be supplied with new queensware and kitchen utensils. The pastures at the institution will be stocked with fifty fine cows to furnish milk for use at the penitentiary.

"The dishes used for the prisoners were not fit to eat out of," said Governor stuDDS, "tnat was one or tne rirst criticisms I had to make at the penitentiary. I know from experience that men who work hard must have good food and plenty of it Those men in the penitentiary work hard and they should nave all that is comlnr to them in the way of good food. We intend to keep good milk cows in the pastures there and the prisoners will be supplied with fresh milk.

G.

Tandy ia chairman. The committee will hold a meetinsr Friday eveninsr to thresh over Councilman Stanley's resolution to repeal the troublesome section, and a spir ited discussion is extected to ensue. Mr. Stanley is the only member of the committee who is for an unconditional reneai. thoueh he may have supporters.

Tandy, Jordan, Miller and Blakely, also members of this committee, voteS for the limit. Mr. Fraser, the other member or tne committ cast a negative vote, but not by reasr cf adverse con elusions on the age soloi n. He was opposed to increasing the speed. Mr.

Stanley was the only, other member who cast a negative vote on- the-passage of the ordinance, his objections, having been di rected against the section relating to the pay of the -board ot examiners, isvery other member of the council voted for the ordinance as It now stands, and It does not appear likely that Stanley's motion to reneai will meet with eeneral favor. Mr. Fraser is unreservedly against the TUTi" 'Vary A tr- alert hotiai'AB that the section should Stand, thoBgh he original ly contended or a sixteen-year limit.

The active work in the digging of the Kaw Vallev crop of potatoes will begin this week if weather conditions prove favorable and, from the indications of the preliminary digging, the crop this year wil be the largest since the bumper crop of 1902.

B. H. Pugh. one of he largest growers of this city, says that he has some fields which will average two hundred bushels per acrei and while all of his fields will not yield such a large crop it is safe to say that the yield as far as he is concerned will be much larger than be had at ilrst anticipated. Reports from other towns where the yearly output is the largest, all point to a large yield.

DeSoto. Wilder, Frisbie. Corliss, Bonner Springs and several other towns have reported that Indications are now for a larger crop than had at first been anticipated. Yesterday the first two cars of the season were loaded at Topeka and today if it does not rain several more cars will be shipped. These shipments might "be called preliminary however, as the real work of shipping will not begin before the first of next week.

The Fourth of July is the date generaly set as the time when active potatoe digging begins ia earnest and this year wti prove no exception The quality of the potatoes this season also exceptional. As a general rule they are good sized, smooth, and free from scab and rot. More favorable conditions for the cultivation or spuds than have existed this year could hardly have been asked for.
