kanawha one dark night, he fell into
q hole located at the intersection of
one of the streets of 'the town. AS
result of the fall he sustained serious
injuries which are permanent one OF
his ankles having been so badly
as to be utterly useless. Nc
Fadden asked for damages against the
town and the railroad for $4,000.
The verdict returned by the jury was

Iowa City, Dec. 22.-Prof. Forest G..
Ensign, state inspector of high schools,
for the State University of Iowa, after
careful consideration of the jails in
the cities and counties of Iowa, has
characterized the system as "a dis
grace to our present civilization"
Professor Ensign says:
Each year an army of between 3d.
600 and $4,000 persons passes thru the
county and city jails of this state. The
whole prison question except in the
state penitentiaries, is a neglected one.
The average person has horror of a
jail He regards it as a place in which
may be hidden the outcasts of society.
There is common notion that any
thing is good enough for one so de-
praved as to be detected in .wrongdo-
ing, hence the prevailing ignorance
considering the actual conditions as
they exist in the place society has pro-
vided for it's minority of Offenders
those who are found out.
"Jails are constructed without any
notion of modern sanitation; light is
not considered; ventilation is largely
by chance; separation of hardened
criminals from first offenders is unpro-
vided for; employment is very rare,
and reformation is made an absolute
impossibility. In fact the whole system
has been recognized as failure for
many years, and is disgrace to our
present civilization. The inspection of
our local jails is a weary and depress-
ing business. The visitor is confronted
with poor light, foul air, dirty bedding,
obscene pictures and inscriptions upon
dingy walls, and unoccupied prisoners
rusting in the stupid idleness of pris-
on life. There are, to he sure, fortunate
exceptions, and few counties and cit
les are solving for themselves some i'm
portant problems of prison administra-
ton. But until these exceptions become
the rule, society ought to blush when
it meets q man, whom it's carelessness
and neglect have helped degrade"
Professor Ensign believes that the
state legislature should make thor
ough investigation Of the things as
they are, and then provide laws which
will Sieve the situation. He says that
it hes been found necessary to pro-
vide state wide compulsory laws. and
it will be necessary to regulate the
county and city jails in the same way.

Ottumwa, Dec 22.-The liquor inter-
ests of Ottumwa are frightened by the
probability of the success of the anti
saloon petitions being circulated as a
result of the Sunday meetings. Prac-
not only the dealers, but also the en-
poyes as well, We're out yesterday with
petitions to secure the signatures of
those who have changed their minds
and wish to withdraw their names
from the petitions asking the abolition
of the saloons in the town. 1t Is
stated that this morning there were
in circulation at least 500 such petitions
for this purpose.
w. V. Silvers. president of the Liquor
Dealers association, is basing his ar
guments on economic considerations; he
attempts to show that the people. the
city and the state will all be the losers
If the saloons are abolished. The
losses will be in wages, rents, taxes,
at work for week and have worked
even nights to reach those who could
not otherwise be reached. The sigma
lures will be compared to the names of
the poll books today, and as soon as
this is completed the petitions will be
filed.
