THE COUNTY BASTILE
Its Sanitary Condition and the Duty
G'nsanHann

Its Sanitary Condition and the Duty Of
las Custodian.
The sanitary condition of the Jail peaks
volumes in behalf of its present manage
ment. With every cell crowded yet there
is not a single case of fever or sickness OF
any kind. The sewerage and drainage i'm
provernents in the basement have contrib
uted the material to bring about this de-
sirable condition. No offensive eitluvia
Salutes the nasal organ now when you de-
scend into the basement rooms, every
one of which is healthy, clean,
and dry. The sewer drainage,
starts from the north side in the Jail yard
and aScends to the third story. By this ar
rangement all the waste water in the upper
corridor passes down two inch pipe into
the second story and from there q four
inch sewer pipe rams out into the yard. as
already mentioned. Every room and cell
about the jail is in dry and healthy con-
| dition.
The Jail now has comforts and conven-
fences never known to any in the great
number of years it has been in our midst
as a public institution. What has been
| done BY the present management. should
have been done years ago. The expense has
been triiling, but the benefits great.
| When the engine and store rooms are bullt,
| and a gas lamp in the northwest corner,
| like the one in the southwest corner, is put
| up, the Jail will be in better condition
| every way.
The duties OF jailor are anything but
| pleasant. Anxiety of mind for the safety
| of his prisoners; their wants: their APP
| peslS to his sympathies; all of these things
| require great deal of nerve to battle With
People who never saw Jail, or are I'M
familiar with the inside duties Of one, can
have no idea at all as to what jailor passes
through. The perverSity of prisoners
cause much trouble and loss to the TAILOR
and the county, too. The moral and social
| duties of the jailor form but one part OF
| the jailors life, although its a very i'm
portant part in the management of his
prisoners. The manual part is exceeding
ly laborious and requires constant atten.
ton and a perfect system to make every
thing work smoothly and successfully.
| Jailor Davis says the Committee and the
| County Board as well, have been kind to
| him in aiding him every way to bring
about the present desirable condition of
| things about the Jail. He lacks but one
| thing yet, and that is q telephone. The
| responsibility of a jailor is great at all
time, and under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but when hampered and
crippled il is much more so.

The Bismarck TIiJunr of the 18th SAYS:
1.-THE bulk of the river business for this
year is done. The state of water this year
mas Detn advantageous 10 tnS DOdtS, ana
therefore the freight has been moved faster
this year than during any previous year
in the existence of steamboating on the
Upper Missouri. An old tar, whose work
for the season is finished, was heard to re.
mark yesterday that he believed steam
boatmen would soon be obliged to take
homesteads and go to farming. One was
rash enough TO remark that he would like
| to Sc the river filed up entirely, and il
some one would pay him for il he would
do his part with wheelbarroE-anythi1g
so long as be could get in the balance of his
life on the Old Muddy. Why" said he
they are putting briggs across the
river every few miles, and steamboats, are
going TO wreck every day somewhere. The
time was when q steamboat, after leaving
St Louis, was mistress Of the whole river.
There was nothing to change her course in
over 1900 miles Now she has to dodge
! about and keep away from piers, dikes,
etc, and she has no independence what
ever. Civilization will be the ruin OF steam
boats yet, and I'm going to jump the bus
ineSs.' This said, the whole party Of SYM
pathiZiDg officers were invited 10 the bar to
drink to the good old times when pilots
got $500 month to turn the wheel and
Captains were paid in proportion for dodg-
ing the bullets of hostile Indians as his
craft plowed the waters of the Missouri to

A RISE ~ COTTON.
The Excitement on the New York Cotton
Exchange on tho sudden Rise.

The ENCltem ent on the New York Cotton
Exchange on tho sudden Rise.
NEw YoRE, January There was con.
siderable excitement Mt the Cotton Ex-
change yesterday on account OF the sudden
advance in prices, particularly on the
"Options" on March and April. The turn
was simply rally from the excitement on
Wednesday, which resulted in almost d
Papic, and was aided by reports OF reduced
estimates OF interior movements. The
market on Wednesday met with a sharr
and sudden decline, which caused great ex.
Citement. There was general movement
to sell by those who were long on the
market, and feared what might follow on
Thursday, and one failure occurred, which
was not reported until to-day. 1t proved
10 be q person who has not operated on his
account, but his contracts Ind to be carried
by Others while lie has speculated. The
market rallied on Thursday, and March
closed at 1928, or Is points higher than
the close on Wednesday.
The developments Of to-day were awaited
with great interest. The market opened
three points lower than the closing prices
OF the night before. Later, when the re.
ports pointed to decreased plantation
movements, there were noticeably large
orders 10 buy on both "lo8g" and '.sboS''
account from Wall street men, and this
was followed by general advance which
continued throughout the day, the market
closing twenty 10 tYenly-four points higher
than the lowest points OF the day. II WAS
generally felt tonight that the crisis had
passed, but Mondays markets are looked
forward to with some anxiety.

action, and refuses to name any terms. It

agreed to several weeks ago, but Roberts
suddenly changed his position and refused
to accept any proposition Of settlement of

piqued Mt the loss OF Jersey Central, and
he intends to establish clearer relationsthan
have heretofore existed between the Wa

Gould was arranging a plan for the consoli-
dation of the Missouri Pacific aud Wabash
