JURORS SICK
Ten Minutes In Jail
Turned Stomachs.
Found vermin That Had Been .Accum.
uIatinq For Mon.hs.

"The sanitary conditions at the
county jail are horrible. Some action
must be taken or there will be a num-
Der of corpses carried out the Jail
door," said member of the grand
jury to a reporter for the Democrat
Thursday.
when we visited that institution it
had been placed in as good condition
as possible. The jurors were sick at
their stomach before they had been
inside the place 10 minutes. It's high
time the County Commissioners were
doing something. Instead of taking
a junketing trip they should stay at
home and better the conditions
In its report the grand jury had the
following to say in reference to the
jail '"There should be a general
cleaning and renovating af all sani-
tary conditions and in regard to ver-
min which has accumulated from time
to time"

beginning April /, when the term of
Charles L. Thorne, who has served
as director for Is years, expires. The
election will fake place in February
and 1t is safe to predict that Nr.
Thorne will be reelected at this tine,
even if the reorganization OF the
Board, whose members are appointed
by the Governor, should prove neces-
cary
The retention of Mr.. Thorne is de-
sired by the farmers of the State,
not for any personal reason, but be.
cause of his eminent fitness for the
work and on account of his long train
ing. Every agricultural organization
of Ohio has petitioned the Governor
against the present directors removal
and Governor Nash knows that he can
not afford to antagonize the agricul-
tural element. The farmers will con-
tlnue to apply the pressure until Feb.
ruary.
The unpopularity Of Mr.. Thorne
with some Of the members of the
Board seems to be due entirely to the
fact that he done his work too faith
fully. He has steadfastly refused to
countenance appointments made for
purely political or personal reasons
and, so far as his authority has per-
mitted, has insisted that only trained
men be given positions of importance
at the station. The Governor knows
all the facts in the case and it is per-
fectly safe to predict that Mr.. Thorne
will be retained in his present posi-
ton. Some of the members of the
Board of Control are in more danger
of losing theirs

FULSOME
Praise For Man Who
Bought His Seat.
Carried Manufactured Applause Even
to the Senate Chamber.

Washington Jan. 1S.-As a demon
stration In honor of the seating of a
single Senator and as an elaborate
and beautiful floral spectacle, the re-
turn Of Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay,
Of Pennsylvania, to the Senate yes
terday was unique in the history Of
the body. Within the memory of the
Oldest Senators nothing approximatipg
Yesterdays scene ever was witnessed
in til Senate on similar occasion.
Mr.. Quay's friends from Pennsyl-
vannia came to Washington by the
hundreds to witness his induction into
Office, and they brought with them
floral offerings literally by the car
load While Mr.. Quay's desk and the
desks of other Senators adjoining his
were banked with costly and beauti-
full floral pieces, scarcely an appreci-
able quantity of the profusion of
flowers his friends had provided could
be displayed in the Senate chamber,
The demonstration accorded to Mr.
Quay when he entered the chamber
amounted to an ovation. While he was
receiving the congratulations OF
friends on the floor hundreds of per-
SONS who thronged the galleries rose
LAS one and applauded him tumultu-
ously. That Mr. Quay appreciated this
distinctly personal tribute was quite
evident. He glanced SIN 'llpC.y acound
the galleries, noddlng Familiarity to
| friends whom he recognized here and
there. The brief ceremony Of admins
tering to him the oath of office passed
without special event, the President
pro tempore having warned those in
the gallery that 1t was sagainst the
rules of the Senate for spectators to
express either approval or disprovaL

Clashed at BuchteI
In EIecting Officers of
Athletic Teams
The zetas Won a De.
cisive Victory.
They Captured Three Out Of
Four Honors.
Meeting Called to Organize Perman.
ent Association.

Fraternity feeling was very much
in evidence at meeting in Grouse
gymnasium Thursday afternoon.
1t was called for the purpose of elect
ing officers for the base ball and foot
ball teams of 1901. Notice was sent
to every male student at Buchtel in
yiting them to attend the meeting.
The boys had not been in session
more than a minute before 1t was
known that there would be a contest.
Objections were made to allowing all
the students to vote at an election Tor
officers of the athletic teams. 1t was
claimed that only members of last
wears organizations should have a
vote. This question was settled by
deciding to give every student pres
ent vote.
The Zeta Alpha Epsilons succeeded
in getting three of the officers. Her
bert Hackney was elected manager
of the base ball team without oppo-
sition. Burt Polsky, Zeta, and Ar
thur Cushman, Lone Star, were
nominated for captain of the team.
Polsky was elected, the vote standing
Is to IL. For manager of the foot ball
team there were two nominations. The
Zetas named Ivan Waller and the
Stars Clarence Carlton. The first
named was elected by the same vote.
Hugh Price, captain Of last years
team was reelected without opposi-
tion.
A letter has been received from
Adelbert college asking for a game in
this city April 90 The date will be
accepted.
A meeting will be called in few
days for the purpose of organizing a

planned to include all former students,
alumni members, the faculty and the
student body in the association. Ath-
letics at Buchtel will be put on ~-'b.
