Pace Busy With Building and Betterments, Jefferson City Tribune. Col. Jas. L. Pace, warden of the Missouri penitentiary, isa busy man these bright spring days. He works} early and late over plans and speci fications for new buildings, plans for repairing and remodeling old ones and for the general betterment of the property of the institution. All this involves a mass of detail and a vast amount of toil When the Thirty eighth general assembly met last January Warden Pace recommended an appropriation f $250,000 for the prison, $100,000 for support and maintenance and $150,000 for: the erection of a new cell building and a new laundry building. These figures were recom- mended by the warden after long and careful study and on the basis of a close estimate. The legislature saw fit, however, to appropriate but $140,600, $80,000 for support, main- tenance and repairs and $60,000 for the erection of a cell building, laun- dry, etc The last named amount is not sufficient for the purpose and necessitates a change of plan. After careful consileration of the matter in all it’s bearings, Col. Pace has decided, if the board of inspec tors gives it’s approval to his idea, to build a kitchen and dining room building on the north side of the stone cell building and a combina- tion building on the site of the old laundry building, converting the present kitchen and dining room into a cell building. This plan is a most feasible as the kitchen and dining room building can be exsily equipped with cells sufficient to pro vide accommodations for six hun- dred or seven hundred conviets. Speaking of the cell building ar- rangement as outlined above, Col. Pace said yesterday that he deemed the change from the original plan a good one and advisable for several reasons. There is not money suf- ficient to construct and equip a first- class cell building and there is no suitable location. The ground where the new kitchen and dining room is to be located is too much in the shade of larger buildings for a cell building, which requires all the sun- shine and air obtainable to make it a healthy habitation for the conviets. The prison is badly crowded, and the quickest and best way to obtain the badly-needed room is to equip one, additional the big stone building, constructed by Col. Mar- | maduke, with cells. The additional floor built on the jable to have carried out plans that cell | Mr. Russell was well snown to all} state in that deal is very valuable. About half of it is tillable land and much of it has been planted in| vegetables. It is the warden’s pur-| pose to keep the prisca hospital | supplied with milk and butter and | with vegetables from the land. The | j hilly and broken parts of the land | | will furnish pasturage for a number | of cows. The old maneion, “Brain-| field,” as it was called in ante-bellum | days, is historic in it’s associations. | It is located on a commanding bluff) and the view to be cbtained from! one of the old-fashioned porticoes is | magnificent For years the old} place has been deserted and deso- late, but the saw and hammer and} paint are working a change Warden Pace is a born builder. He is never better satistied or wore contented than when chin deep in| plans and estimates. He plans and buitds for the future, and theim | proyements made after his ideas are models of convenience and solidity. His theory is that the state bas idle labor in abundance, brick and stone in unlimited quantities, and that it is better to keep the convicts em- ployed and improve the property of | the state than itis to let the men remain idle in their cells. Had the legislature given him the appropria- tion asked for he would have been | | would haye placed the Missouri state's prison at the very head of the penal institutions of the country. As it is, he will do the best that is to be done with the limited appro- priation at his command. A BULL ED IN HIS BRAIN. Ex-Meyor Ben Russell of Lexington Mo., Commit Suicide. Lexington, Mo. Muy 16.—Last evening while sitting in a chair in the dining room of his residence, corner of Main and 7th streets, ex mayor C. Ben Russell, an old and well connected citizen oi Lexington, placed a 32 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver to his right tem- ple and sent a bullet into his brain. Death was instantaneous. For some time he has been despondent, owing to hie failure to get sufficient busi- ness to enable him to live as he had been accustomed to. In addition to this he left letters stating that he was largely in debt and saw no way of paying off his indebtedness, and that this was a heavy burden on his mind. He had twenty-four letters in | his coat pocket addressed to various | friends in this city, which shows that death by his ownhand was pre- | | meditated, and that three or four} days had been spent in writing thew. , He left a request that his remains | should be interred by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was a mem-| ber. He also requsted that six ex-| Mayors of the city should act as pall | bearers, and naming them. He was) a member of the A. O. U. W. and} had some insurance in this order. He was a fine business man,possess- | ed in his day of much energy and | has done good service as a citizen | and public oflicer.

Shot Dead in Cold Blood. St. Joseph, Mo., May 15.—News reached here today of the cold- blooded murder of John Patterson, which occurred at Mound City about noon. Patterson was one of the most respected citizens of Holt county, having settled thera at an errly day and grown wealthy. He owned a hotel at Maitland, which he had leased to J. M. Inks, who failed to properly care for the property, and Patterson had ordered him to vacate. Inks met Patterson at Mound City this forenoon, and the two exchanged afew words, when Iuks, without warning, drew a pistol and shot Patterson, who was un- armed.
