$22,50O WILL BUILD 1T.
A New County Jail-Judge Car
ter's Estimate.

Judge Alex Carter, Presiding
Justice of the County Court, in
vestigated the new county Jail at
Macon City one day last week and
he tells the Message that the prop
Csition looks good to him for Aud
rain-he thinks the same model,
or practically the same, would
suit for our county to a 7. The
building is safe, sanitary and up
to date in every detail. The
building will accommodate As pri3-
oners in an emergency. There are
II cells, each separted entirely
from the other by steel walls, and
entirely removed from these, also,
are two cells for women prisoners.
There are also two cells for insane
persons and also a hOld-Over cell.
Water and sewerage are in each
cell and in the corridors are two
bath rooms. The jailer's resi-
dence is in front Of the jail proper
and consists of six rooms with
halls ana closets, etc. The out
side appearance Of the building
is imposing and excellent and is a
credit to the county.
Judge Garter thinks that the
same structure can be built in
Audrain county for about 500, 500.
IF that can be done only that
amount of bonds will be sold, and
the debt can be paid in three years.
The petitions to the county court
lately asked for a bond issue of
$50, 900 for new county jail,
which proposition is to be voted
upon at the election next month,
but if it can be built for $22, 500
there will be a saving of $4,000
or $12,5O0, and the County Court
to save that sum, or more,
if it can be done.

There was some of the finest horse

ring in this section of the State.
There were fine sheep, hogs and
poultry exhibits also-111 birds in
the poultry exhibit, some of the
finest chickens you ever saw.
But there were two serious ac-
cidents, one on Thursday and one
on Friday. The grand stand,
mostly occupied by ladies, fell the
first day No one was killed or
very seriously hurt, as it happen
ed. Among those more or less
slightly injured were:
Mrs. Zeke Conner, bruises; w.

Howard Ellenwood, bruises, lat

Frank Underwood, seriously
bruised about the hips; Miss Car
rie Miksch, painful bruises; Miss

was caused by the stand being
overcrowded.
The next afternoon there was
another like accident. The band
stand and a narrow stand adjoin-
ing it, at the time Of the potato
race, were overcrowded and all
fell in a heap with men and wom-
en- scrambling out as for their
lives. A number of people
were hurt, but only two were
hurt, to say, seriously. James
Atkinson was at the secretary s
desk beneath the stand and all
above fell ON and about him. But
he escaped with only bruises and
bad cut on his head. Col. S. w.
Boyd was under the stand or near
at and suffered some very bad
