Judge Bowers calls the attention of
The GAZETTE to the fact that the diff
ferent town boards all over the State
will have to have the American flag
hanging over their polling places at
the annual town meetings to be held
next month. In case town boards
should neglect to do this they are pro-
hibited from taking any salary as cleo
ton judges for the day.
County politics already appear to be
on the hum. Local county papers are
mentioning A. H. Anderson for Senat-
or. w. S. Mckay has been looking
after authorship fences during the
past week. In addition to this it is
understood that Daniel Mclean of
Delhi and 1. N. Tompkins will also
be out for the same place, and it is
not unlikely that A. E. King and c.
V. Everett will also appear in that
circle. For treasurer W. P. Tenney
is out against j. R. Lankard, who will
try for denomination, and it is under
stood that David Alexander of Vesta
is likely to appear for the place. Fol-
representative, it is understood that
James Larson will be candidate to
succeed himself, and J. L. Byram has
made one or two trips down to the
Grove to see about the same Job.
The county Jail OF Lyon county has
been condemned by both Secretary
Hart of the State Board of corrections
and charities and Judge Weber OF
this judicial district. Mr.. Hart, some
years ago, decided that the Jail was
not a fit place for prisoners to live in,
owing to the i'll ventilation, and the
danger of destruction by fire. The
commissioners, however, thought 9TH
erwise, and paid no attention to the
secretary. The secretary afterwards
issued his order of condemnation, and
now Judge Weber has issued an or
der to the effect that hereafter the
Jail "shall not be used for the deten-
ton of any prisoner for more than
twenty-four hours at one time, except
pending preliminary examination, OF
while the court is in session; this or
der to continue in force until further
action by the State board of correc.
tions and charities
A Chicago market report of Feb. Z
says: There is no question that pro.
visions are the leading feature of the
market just now. The growing pros
perity of the country as evidenced by
improving trade conditions, the cheap
ness of money and the enhanced val.
nes of all dividend paying securities
are beginning to be reflected in bet
ter condition of affairs among the
working classes, especially in large
centers of population. In the south
this betterment is especially notice
able. Schwartz, Dupee & Co. have
made an analysis of the situation in
provisions, aud find that the stocks at
this point increased during January
100000 pounds against an increase
of 100000 pounds in January, 1897,
indicating that the distributive move

pounds compared with January of last
