county wanted. They have taken the
liberty to go over and see the Grant
county jail and correspondent with sew
eral Jail builders on the subject, and
now believe that it would only have
been waste of money for the county to
have built according to the plan.
They would now recommend that
the Board adopt one of the two plans
which they herewith present.
The first one is according to a plan
got up by one of your commit tee, Major
John Clowney, and perhaps may be
said to be combination, or little
from all the plans we have seen, but
generally after the Milwaukee andLan-
caster plan.
This Jail will be a2xs4 feet,17 feet
high above water table, built Of good
stone walls, and lined with good one
quarter inch boiler iron. 1t will have
eight good iron cells arranged substan-
tally, with railing forming inner cor
rider. and comprising an iron stairway
at the end of the cells,and balcony run
ming the whole length, to admit of ac-
cess to upper cells, as described in the
Milwaukee plan.
In addition to this we propose to
build Sherif's house 22x42, feet 20
feet high. This to be also Of rock and
we'll built.
The cost of the whole win be......".$12.5 00.o 90
Cost of fire proof 25o0Oo
| Total. $3.50 90
The cost of the Lancaster jail will
be about $26,000.00, including the
Sheriff's house, land will be all fre-proof,
with slate roofs on the whole. This
would be the best jail, but at a much
greater expense.
The tax on the county to build the
first will be about two mills and quar-
ter.
To build the Lancaster jail it would
cost about four mills on the dollar.
All Of which is respectfully submit

PEDIGREE.

PEDIGREE.
COMET was sired by aHerrick,' he by David
Hills original "Black Hawk dam of "Herrick,,
by "Hambletonian." COMETS dam was sired by
old "Comet Morgan from when descended the
Northwestern Vermont race of Morgan Trotters.
Dam, imported thoroughbred.
COMET was purchased in Vermont I'm 1864, sc
fouryears of age, and brought west by his present
owner, since whic h time he has been kept in Iowa
county.
His colts ALL show more than ordinary trotting
ability. No extended comments necessary,
COMET and his stock are so well known in this
community.
Farmers and stock laisers woul d do we'll to con-,
slider before they patronize horse that the differ
ence in outlay between COMET and ordinary horses
is very small that it costs no more to raise good
colt than to raise "a poor one; that COMETS colts
at maturity meet with ready sale and are Quickly
bought mp at price more than double those paid
for common colts from the same class of dams.
Tits we'll known in til community that his colts
in so great demand that there are not enough
for sale in the county to supply it, Inquiries are
constantly made from abroad, by letter and other
wise, and GENERALLY BY PROFESSIONAL HORSE
MEN, for COMETS colts, and there are scarcely
any left for sale in this vicinity old enough for
market.
This demand is created by reason of their ,u-
perier merits in speed and durabii ty, aud
rosdsters and for general purposes, and il will be
by reference to his pedigree that those quai-
ties are notthe result Of accident but of combination
in COMET OF the best blood to be found in the trot
ting horses of America, viz: Hambletonfsn n,
Black Hawk, Morgan and Thoroughbred. Like
