Official Jail Report.

WELLINGTON, KAN, Nov. J, 1893.
To the Board of County Commissioners q,
sumner County, Kansas:
The statute of the state provides that
'the Judge Of the District Court and the
County Attorney shall, during each term
Of the District Court, make personal in
spection OF the county Jail as to the suf-
hciency thereof for the safe keeping Of
prisoners, their convenient accommoda-
ton and health, and shall inquire into
the matter in which the same has been
kept since the last term, and make re-
port, in writing, to the Board of County
Commissioners of the county"
In obeyance to this statute we did on
the 3rd day Of November, 1893, make a
visit to the county jail of Sumner county
and made careful, personal inspection
thereof and as result of that inspection
we make to your honorable board the
following report:
First-As to the suficiency thereof
tor the safe keeping of the prisoners.
We made an examination ofthe walls
both inside and out, of said iail and
Ind that they are insufficient for the
safe keeping of any prisoner confined
In the jail who has any desire what
ever to get out. There are numerous
places in the walls where the brick
can be taken out by any person Of
ordinary strength, without the use of

Chancellor Shows weather report
for October says: Compared with
the October averages, the past month
was cool, rainy and windy. 1t is not
able chiefly for the snowfall of the l7th
which is the earliest Of any descrip-
tion on record. This came twenty.six
days earlier than the average date and
exceeded in depth the entire snowfall
Of all the thirty preceding Octobers
on record. The total depth of snow
for the month was five inches. The
first white frost Of the season occurred
on the 18th, fourteen days later than
the average date; the first black frost
occurred on the 10Th, three days earl.
Ter than the average date. The aver.
age temperature was 52.87 degrees;
the warmest day was the I'd, when S8
degrees was reached, and the coolest
day was the 26th, when 2S.5 degrees
was reached. The rainfall, including
melted snow, was SIT inches, LAG
above the average. The total rain
fall for the ten months of 1898 now
completed, has been 4l.e2 inches, 8.57
above the average.

any tools at all-with their bare
hands. There are also places in the
walls where daylight can be seen
through holes in the wall. The Jail
is entirely insufficient for the safe
keeping of any prisoner who is not
confined in the cage.
Second-As to the convenience and
accommodation and health of the
prisoners. There are at the present
time fifteen prisoners confined in the
Jail. The cage has an accommoda-
ton for the keeping of eight prison.
ers. There are now eight prisoners
in the cage and another one received
today who will probably be placed
there and this will over crowd it.
The cage is only thirteen feet square
and any ordinary person can tell
what the condition would be when
nine grown persons are placed in
such place who eat and drink and
sleep therein, and can appreciate the
way the place would be overcrowded.
Outside of the cage in the Jail there
is a room in which there is
accommodation for three prison.
ers to sleep, and three
prisoners do now sleep in that
room. The balance of the prisoners,
three or four, who are now outside of
the cage are compelled to sleep on
mattresses thrown on top of the cage
and with no way to reach their sleep
ing place except by climbing upon
the bars on the side of said cage.
The mattresses being laid on the iron
top of the cage.
There is no system of drainage
from the Jail. The excretions of the
prisoners are carried into a cess pool
adjoining the Jail and the fumes and
gases from this cess pool come back
through the pipes into the Jail.
1t seems to us that there is great
danger to health Of the prisoners
with the jail in this condition.
Third-We made inquiry into the
manner in which the jail had been
kept since the last report, from the
prisoners, and the jailer, and find
nothing from which complaint can
be made. We were there when the
prisoners were having their dinner
served and find that they had good
average dinner and that the prisoners
all seem to be satisfied with the
quality Of food, and they also make
no complaint about the way they are
treated by the jailer and we find that
the jail is kept in as good condition
as it is possible to keep jail in the
shape this one is.
The health of the prisoners de-
mands that the privey vaults and
drainage of the Jail should be i'm
proved if possible.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

Judge of District Court.

NOT A CAMP FOLLOWER.
Maj. A. NJ. Harvey Comes to the Defense
Of Ralph Botkin.

LeavenwOrth, Kan, Nov. I'm an
interview today Major A. NJ. Harvey
OF the Twenty-seoond Kansas volun.
teers said: II understand from the
reports Of his meetings that j. Ralph
Burton claims to be fully informed as
to Ralph BOtkin's service in the
Twenty-secOna Kansas and denounces
him as "a civilian who had no bust
ness in camp" one who stayed there
1t his own risk, a camp follower a
'bummer.'
"TheSe statements are wholly un.
warranted and false and it is strange
indeed that a man of the learning and
intelligence Of Mr.. Burton doesn't
know 1t to be false. Ralph Botkin
came to the camp of the Twenty.
second Kansas to enlist. He had
already procured drill book and had
learned it by heart and for three or
four weeks he had importuned his
father for permission to enlist. He
came with his fathers written per-
mission. Our surgeons examined and
rejected him. He did not stay about
the camp but went back to Washing.

camp bearing with him an order from
the adjutaut general, The order was
addressed to Col. Lindsey and COM
manded him to enlist Ralph Botkin

10 the presence Of Captain Parker Of

Ralph Botkin as a recruit in his com
pany and have him mustered in al
the earliest convenience.
'Every soldier knows and Mr.. Bur
ton certainly knows that recruits are
frequently carried for weeks anG
months on the rolls before they are
mustered in and that after muster tn,
government pays them from the day
they are enrolled as recruits. Nearl,
every soldier in the voluntary army
had drawn pay for time served as
recruit.
"After the Twenty-second Kansa,

had left the state dozen or more re-
cruits were added to the regiment
and were not mustered In for a month

manded. II he had been absent from
camp without leave during that time
he would have been liable to prose-
eutiOn.
Ralph BOtkin gave no mean ser.
vice to the government. For more
than month, during the hottest part
of the summer, be was at drill five
hours per day and took his turn with
the other duties. He was eft behind,
detailed to guard the property which
we could not take when we went on
our march. The officers left with the
detachment reported him as the most
willing and industrious soldier left
behind. A month later when the
regiment marched into Camp Meade
the first member Of the detachment
they met was Ralph BOtkin, standing
guard at his post on the guard line Of
the new camp with his gun at pre-
sent arms waiting for the colonel to
ride by.
Ralph BOtkln was no. hummer
or camp follower but recruit who
had right to be 10 camp and whose
duty it was to be in camp. Mr.. Bur.
ton has done this soldier boy an in

There are three periods in all life-the
time of the bud, Of the flower and Of the
perfect fruit. II is thus that girlhood
energies into womanhood and womanhood
into motherhood. Almost all of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep-
ton in weakness and disease of the femi-
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wifehood and motherhood These disor-
ders usually begin with puberty; childbirth
or with the turn of life" Thousands of
women suffer silently for years in this way,
rather than undergo the examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the major
, ity of physicians. This is unnecessary.
An eminent and skillful specialist, DR..
r. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles of this nature
in the privacy of the home. This medi-
cine is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible. II makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous II allays in
hammation, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. II banishes the,
indispositions of the period of impending
maternity, and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. 1t transforms weak,
sickly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers. All good medicine
dealers sell it, and no honest dealer will
urge substitute upon you.

An explosion and fire at 5:l3 Sun.
day afternoon wrecked the United
States supreme court room and the
rooms Immediately adjoining il on
the main floor IF the capitol building
at Washington. The damage is eDOl-
nous. The entire central eastern
part of the great marble pile, from
the main floor to the subterranean
basement, practically is mass Of
ruins. The force of the explosion was
so heavy that coping stones on the
outer walls, just east Of where the
explosion occurred, were bulged out
nearly two inches; windows 10 all that
part of the building were blown out;
and locked doors were forced from
their hinges quite $50 feet from the
scene Of it. Fire followed the explo-
siOu so quickly as to seem practically
simultaneous with it. The explosion
shook the immense structure to its
foundations aud was heard several
squares from the capitol. 1t occurred
in a small room tightly inclOsed by
heavy stone walls in the subterranean
basement Immediately below the
main entrance TO the old capitol build
ing. In this room was a 500-light gas
meter, which was fed by a fOur.inch
main. Very little gas Is used in that
part Of the building, but at the time
Of the explosion the gas had not been
turned of at the meter. The meter
itself was wrecked and the gas pouring
from the main caught fire. The
flames originating from the explosion
darted up the shaft Of the elevator,
which had been completely destroyed
by the force Of the explosion, and
communicated with the record room
Of the supreme court, the Office of the
marshal Of the court and the supreme
court library. Before the flames could
be subdued the priceless documents
in the record room had been almest
totally destroyed and serious damage
had been done in the marshal's office
and some minor rooms in the immedi.
ate vicinity.
