THE JOYFUL JAILS
From the state chanties com-
mission of Illinois comes the latest
wail about jails which are not up
to Waldorf-Astoria standards
In fact it is claimed that the jails
are as bad as they were thirty years
ago when they were not suitable
to the whims of anyhigh-class
jail bird who was accustomed to
all the comfcrts of home and mod-
ern coveniences
In view of the fact that a num-
ber of more or less prominent cit-
izens of the sucker state seem to be
threatened with a sojourn in the
prisons of that sjate the plea’ tor
better plumbing and lace cnrtains
is in order But as a general prop-
osition these wails for the down-
trodden prisoners are overworked
a good deal While it is nice to
talk about Reform and not pun-
ishment being the object of prison
sentences the facts are that it is
hard to obtain one result without
the other ’
If all the suggestions of the pris-
on reformers would be followed
out explicitly and to their logical
conclusions the jails would soon
become such gilded palaces of sin
that most ol us would put up there
from choice and it would be diffi-
cult for the hotel keepers to make
a living or the waiters to get rich
And when the jails finally were
accepted as the highest standard of
luxury the kicking against them
by the downtrodden prisoners who
broke into a feed store in order to
get a comfortable home for the
wintpr would continue For it is
the way of the world that men who
make the least effort to improve
conditions do the most kicking
about conditions as they are
And every community has wor-
thy people whose poverty and "pri-
vation is forced on them by sick-
ness these are the people who are
really entitled to consideration
rather than the ordinary type which
breaks into jail and then spends
the remainder of the winter kicking
because the lound steak isn’t
porterhouse

Mannsville Country Outclasses Ravia in the
Mineral Line-Rivals Cripple Creek
Without desiring to be sensation-
al the Herald announces to it?
readers this morning that silver
and lead ore estimated to be worth
from between $1000 to $5000 to
the toil lias been found within five
miles of Mannsville Of course
this ore has not been assyed by ex-
perts for the reason that it requires
from ten days to three weeks to
get an official report on it but it
is estimated by our most conserva-'
tive men that the metal -will run
as above stated Their estimation
is based 011 a careful comparison of
the home product with that of the
Cripple Creek Colorado fields a
fine specimen of which was brought
to this section some time ago by
one of our leading citizens The
Cripple Creek metal has been as-
sayed and runs $5000 to the ton
It has some lead in it and it is dif-
ficult for a man not experienced
to detect the lead from the silver
By placing the Mannsville metal
beside that of the Cripple Creek
ore it is almost a matter of impos-
sibility ttell one from the other
We havebeen reqnested and
urged not to ’‘blow” this in the
paper until certain parties “get
ready” blit we are not built that
way we believe in printing all
the news while it is news and that
there is nothing too good for our
readers and friends
The party who brought the ore
to our office had several good-sized
chunks of it anyone even a green
and inexperienced man could tell
that it just camexu&f the ground
from the fact that the native dirt
or clay was still clinging to the
edges and packed in the crevices
of the rock or metal The discov-
erer informed us that he could get
out probably a car load in a day
Unlike the Cripple Creek ore in
one respect j it will be easily mined
not being so far under the ground
The Cripple Creek ore also has a
watermark on it this has not
The Cripple Creek metal was mined
probably between 400 and 800 feet
under the grouud this heme prod-
uct is less than 100 feet from the
surface
Prospecting parties are looking
this country over and in every in-
stance they pronounce it the richest
mineral field in the world
If you are a mineral man and
want in on the ground floor of the
best thing in the world come to
Johnstod county Oklahoma “The
Herald has nothing to sell audits
only object in giving this informa-
tion to the world is that we do
want to see our mineral resources
developed and that at once
If interested and you mean bus-
iness write the Commercial Club
Mannsville Oklahoma for a speci-
men of the above ore also for fur-
ther infomiatiotl
“It is getting to the point in
Johnston county papers now where
nothingbut mining news is con-
sidered real news The Manns-
ville Herald confidentially predicts
that Johnston county will outdo
either the California 01 Colorado
fields”— Daily Oklahoman
Correct sir That is our pre-
diction Gdld silver lead and
copper ore found within five miles
of Mannsville was shown us this
week which will pay between four
and five thousand dollars per ton
We can “show you” At the
proper time we will have more to
say about this ore
More mining and minerat news
on pages four and five this issue
J C Slulz Superintendent of
the United Mines Company of Cof-
fey ville Kansas was in Ravia yes-
terday and stated that they were
getting out some mighty valuable
ore at theif mine north of Ravia —
Ravia News
Hush liitle Ravia
Don’t you cry
Mannsville will show a real gold
mine bye and bye
“We have noticed several parties
in Ravia lately who seemed to be
‘wabbley’ in the knees They
must have been drinking some of
that corn the Mannsville Herald
said was raised over there” — Ra-
via News
Nope So far we have just
enough for our own use
The Ravia hotel has changed
hands Dr Webster retiring and
Mrs Ward taking charge We
suppose Doc has gone to mining —
but from a financial standpoint the
hotel looked like a small gold mine
to us Dr Webster will be missed
no little by the traveling men and
other friends from his accustomed
place
Wilkes & Crider request us to
announce that they have several
hundred descriptive circulars tell-
ing about the advantages of the
Mannsville country which they
will furnish free to all desiring to
enclose them in letters to friends
at a distance Call and get them
Miss Catherine Hill received the
pig given away last Thursday ev-
ening by the Plant Juice Adver-
tising Company Several ladies’
names were called ahead of that of
Miss Hill but their nerve failed
them and they would not go upon
the stage after it Miss Catherine
stood the test and won out '
We are not “knockhig” but
with no water to '‘fight lire with
you’ll wake up some of these fine
mornings and the town will be go-
ing up in smoke
Mannsville is to have another
State Bank The name of it we
are informed will be The Fanners
State Bank It will be capitalized
at $1500000
Do you want to be alderman just
for the name or are you actually
going to try to do something for
Mannsville?
Give us a live wide-awake city
government and watch old Manns-
ville get up and grov
Carnegie should award Haskell
a portion of his ’peace endowment’
fund since he has retired to private
life
We have a tip to the effect that
if Texas goes “dry” Hon- Cone
Johnson will be the next governor
of that State
“The more Senator Bailey argues
for Lorimer the more one is con-
vinced that Lorimer should be
kicked out of the Senate” — Wa-
panucka Press
Good eye old boy
Pat none but business men on
guard and let Mannsville grow
Anyway Oklahomans feel proud
of the fact that both of our Sena-
tors voted to unseat Lorimer
The Herald does not propose to
be dragged into a prohibition row
We have Statewide prohibition and
that question is settled so far as
we are concerned
The Herald is taking no stock
in the city election further than the
fact that we do want to see good
men elected to office Mannsville
citizens are eqnally interested in
the selection of good officers and
we believe that they will attend to
that matter without any coaching
from us
Tear down the old dilapadated
buildings on Main street and let’ll
have some modern structures erected
