10 VISIT THE GUARD HOUSE.
Council Committee to Make an In
spectiOn Tonight.


The committee of council on public lots
and the police commission win meet at
the police barracks tonight for the pur-
pose of talking over the improvements to
be made in the way of additional room for
prisoners. Alderman Smith, chairman of
night, and was shown around by Assistant
Chief Reilly.
Four thousand dollars has been set aside
by council for this purpose. and the bust
ness of the committee is TO determine what
Improvements are needed and how much
Of the appropriation is to be expended. II
the expressions of Alderman Smith are in
accord with the other members of the COM
mittee, 1t is safe to say a new guard house
viii be built, the necessity for such a
structure appearing imperative to him 1t
is his opinion that when the city takes a
prisoner, decent quarters should be pro-
y.ded in which TO incarcerate them. The
fact that there are but seven cells in the
guard house, and they are small, made
quate and poorly ventilated is evidently
a condition of affairs that will call for a
favorable report from the committee
To what extent the committee will rec
ommend improvements is not known.
though a strong pressure will be brought
to bear by the police commission in favor
Of a new guard house, which, according
to the recent idea, will face on Habersham
street and be a modern structure in every
detail.
Some time will be spent Inspecting the
barracks, after which the committee and
police commission will discuss the matter.
The committee will probably report at the
next meeting of council such improvements
as it deems necessary.

the Retail Section.
One of the improvements to be made by
the water commission this year will be
the laying of a large water main on
Broughton street. The street is now sup
piled by a little four-inch main, which is
probably the smallest in the city.
There is a large main on State street
but on account of the valuable property
on Broughton street, it has been decided
TO afford additional protection by LAYING
a large main from West Broad to Aber-
corn streets. The new main will be ten
or twelve inches in diameter The work
will be done this spring.
The water commission proposes to lay
considerable new main in the southern
section of the city, but the Broughton
street main win probably be the only i'm
portaut work of this kind in the northern
portion. A new main is now being put
down on Duffy street.

TOPEKA, Kan, March I4.--"FitZhugh
Lee ought to be the next democratic
candidate for president" said Judge
John Martin, eX-U United States senator.
Think what position that man Lee
holds to-day an ex.rebel democrat.
He holds in his hands the honor. the
peace, the integrity of this nation. 1t is
q great honor that in such an important
post he is retained by a republican
president who won't even let him re-
sign. When a foreign nation asks for
his recall. a republican president says
he won't consider it. When the peo.
pie come to think back over the events
of the last few weeks there will grow
up such q warm feeling of respect and
admiration for that man as will. am
convinced, land him in very high po'
sition of honor. McKinley's course
toward Lee has made democrats feel
that the president is a greater man
than they have given him, credit for
