J.n D,ll,,rl,.and jail M,rhoh..

The Increasing number Of Jail deliver
lea In the state indicates that some Of the
counties are either In need Of better jalls
or moro watchful Jail officers. Scarcely
week passea that the papers are not
called upon to chronicle the escape Of
prisoners In some portion Of the Atntc.
and there seems u be need Of stronger
and safer places Of confinement

was regarded as one of the best in the
state.
The Parkersburg Journal does not at
tempt to hide It's disgust at this record,
and does not hesitate to intimate that
the fault is not so much with the jail as
It Is with the neglectfulness of those in
charge OF 1t, II is believed that the men
who escaped last had set Of keys which
could work the jail locks; or that the
cell doors leading to the outside corridor
were not locked, while the turnkey de-
clares that the locks are rotten and can
be easily sprung, ANY one OF these ex-
plantations would furnish proof OF neglect
Of duty on the part of some one.
The Journal Is not so disguised, how
ever that 1t fails to appreciate the ride
ulousness of the circumstance that a
county SO important and wealthy as
Wood county, and Boosting of SO costly
jail, should have had three jail deliveries
in eight months, and with that rare
humor for which Collector White, who is
the editor OF the paper Is noted pub
fishes the following suggestive notice:
MASS MEETING OF ESCAPED CON.
VICTs.
There, will be q meeting OF the ex-prlson-
ers of the Richie and Wood county jails,
Thursday, the umteenth day OF August,
under hangman's tree, on Fort Foreman
Tho object OF this meeting Il for the pur-
pose Of forming an organization OF escaped
jail birds TO devise ways and means OF
helping the authorities to capture such es-
capped conYicts and TO discuss plans for the
construction OF better jails,
Shonld the fort be too small TO accommo-
date the crowd OF ex-prisoners who have
recently escaped from these two tails, the
meeting viii be adjourned to Rinktum-
vile, By order OF
LEE CAKES Chairman.
IRWIN BROWN, Secretary
This should be appreciated by those at
whom It is aimed, But. seriously speak
ing, there are two chief troubles which
are in large degree responsible for the
jail deliveries that are becoming so fire.
queat. One Is the !ooseaess OF the meth
DDS of the officers In charge, and the
other Is the lack OF strong, modern. safe
jails the latter due largely to false ideas
of economy.
There is too much freedom OF access OF
outside parties to prisoners, Visitors
should not be allowed to communicate
with prisoners except in the presence of
the turnkey or guard. Keys and tools
are very easily struggled into jalls by
visitors or agents of relatives and accom-
plces, and the utmost watchfulness Is
required to prevent this, An innocent
looking basket of food, or boquet of
flowers may conceal file or saw,
Within few days past the jallor at
Kingwood discovered prisoner about to
escape after he had sawed the bars OF his
cell window. Two saws were found In
the cell and suspicion points to the prIs-
oner's wife having struggled them to him
during one OF her visits. These things
are OF frequent occurrence and jail Off
GERS cannot be too careful in guarding
against them.

A partisan comment regarding the re-

be notary public which originated In
the Register Is going the rounds Of the
press and Is being made the text for a
criticism Of Governor Atkinson, az the
law prohlbits any one but a voter from

criticisms do the governor an injustice,

When the application and bond werc
filed for the appointment there wns M

plcant was a lady, she no, knowing the
Limitation OF the law and surprising she

officials naturally supposed that the ap.
pllcant was a man.

A returned Klondyke miner says It Is
sheer folly for poor man to make the
trip to the gold region, as the claims in
the known fields were staked off long
ago, and people who now go will have to
explore other territory where old miners
failed. Only those who can afford tho
risk should make the trial. The man
who risks all stands but one chance in
many of not being bitterly disappointed.
This gentleman, whose name is Iron
monger Sofa, utters the following timely
and valuable caution in New York
newspaper interview:
There arc men who have been up there
looking for gold for twenty-three years,
and some OF them have not struck II yet.
Now, what are the chances for thousands
OF utterly green and delicate young mon to
mako n strike, when oil tho claims along
the known EOld-honrlng creeks have been
taken? think there are many new places
to be opened yet and ! believe that ms
