The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1903-01-08

Mr.. L. d. VICKERs, Of Charles
ton, was business visitor in Lo-
gan Saturday. Mr.. Vickers is
looking well, and says he is doing
better and is as happy as he ever
was in his life. He is also not
spending sleeDless nights grieving
over the condition of the Republi-
can party in Hooking county.
While he lived here he was always
accused of being the disturbing
element in his party, but now that
he has been away year or two,
the party in Hooking is disrupted
more than ever.

The SPRING election is looking
up and many candidates are spok-
en- Of. Mayor Krieg will be can
didate for reelection. The many
friends of Charley Juergensmier
are urging him as a candidate for
Mayor, but Charley is trying to
make them be good. We hear
that Former-Mayor Brooke will
probably be a candidate on the
Republican ticket for Mayor. The
Marshal fight on the Republican
side will warm up with Marshal
Larimer, f. p. Armstrong and
Sam Price as candidates.

WE UNDERSTAND that our good
friend Dennis Noonan is rapidly
improving in health and will soon
be out again. This is good news.
He is splendid man and made a
good street commissioner when he
was able to be out. The many
friends of Mr.. Noonan are urging
that he be II candidate for Mar
shal if he regains his health.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1903-01-08

Mr.. FRED Weymueller, Com
missioner-elect, is compiling some
very interesting figures on piking
Hooking county. We have insis-
ted for years, that the board of
county commissioners that is in
strumental in building pixies in
this county, will erect a monument
30 their names that their children
and grand children will be proud
of. Public improvement may be
criticized by n few knockers at
the time, but the future genera
tions will speak of the projectors
in highest terms, and all of the
present generation who are awake
to the times, will commend them.

Report of the Visiting Committee.

Logan, o., Sept. 22nd, 1902.
To the Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas of Hooking coun-
ty, State of Ohio:
We, the committee appointed to
visit and inspect the charitable
and penal institutions of Hooking
county, hereby submit the follow
ing report:
On Wednesday, September. 17th
we made oui annual visit to the
Infrmary and Childrens' Home,
accompanied by the directors,
Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Engle. We
found the Home in an excellent
condition under the management
Of Miss Noble. There are nine
boys and ten girls, all but three
of whom we found in the school
room with Miss Garter as teacher.
The children seem strong and
healthy and are well cared for.
Since the bathing facilities have
been added, it is much easier to
keep the children in good order.
The matron is to be commended
for the order in which the Home
is found.
The Infirmary was also found in
an excellent condition. AS far as
the cleanliness and order Of the
institution, there is nothing to
suggest. There has been paint
ing and papering done since our
last visit, and the old rag carpets
in the sleeping rooms have been
dispensed with. Where the floors
are bare, the committee suggests
the use Of filing for the cracks
and japolac to give the floors the
smooth, hard finish. 1t is also
suggested that rugs be provided
to put in front of the beds and in
the bath room. Everything is as
neat and clean as the surround
ings permit, but it is the hope of
committee, that the day is not far
distant when the basement kitchen
and dining room will give way to
new light and airy dining room
above ground, or else the addition
of wing for the use of the Sup
erintendent, thus leaving rooms
that may be converted into din
ing and kitchen. 1t is also sug-
gested that both buildings be heat
ed by furnace or hot water, which
ever is found to be the most econ
omicIal, so that the rooms will be
equally heated. The superinten-
dent and his wife are to be com
mended for the admirable condi-
ton in which the Infrmary is
found. The jail is in as good con-
dition as the surroundings permit.
1t is suggested that a slide be put
in the inside door, through which
the food can be passed to the
prisoners as the present way of
opening the doors is not safe.
The sheriff has done his part, but
the building is not what it should
be. The calaboose needs to be re-
modelled in some way to give the
proper air and light. 1t is sug-
gested that it be kept thoroughly
scrubbed. The committee has re-
commended these changes, be-
cause we believe that if carried
out as much as possible they will
benefit and uplift our institutions.
Respectfully submitted,
