back the outlay for the construction
Of a workhouse."
The committee has found In its in
vestigations that prison labor Is always
in demand n the cities The average
pay is 81 per day. The prisoners are
employed either in breaking rock or
cleaning streets. AS a rule they are
put on work for which other labor can
not be secured. In the workhouse dur
ing the winter months they manufsc-
ture brooms, etc. but these latter are
marketed at prevailing prices, and
therefore the product is not offered in
competition with the output of other
factories In other communities where
the workhouse is in operation there
was not found any opposition from
union labor.

caused by valvular heart trouble. Dr.
Souders stated that, from. the mans
condition, he had suffered from heart
trouble for several days. He had ex-
amined the body and had found slight
bruises on it which were evidently
caused by a fall sustained the night
before when he was wandering about

composed of Supervisors s. r. Wright.
Swan Dahlberg and Zach Einfeldt.
Blueprints of a proposed building will
be offered with the report showing that
a workhouse can be constructed for ap-
proximately $1,000. Judging by the ex-
periences of other counties the work
house would pay for itself in a short
time. The committee has the follow
ing communication from the Pauly Jail
Building company of st. Louis:
We received your letter of May 20
regarding the proposed workhouse for
your county, and enclosed you will find
blueprint Of sketch which we have
made. We made no elevations, as we
thought that the general arrangement
was what you were trying to get at for
the present, but this building contains
10 cells, capable of holding four pris-
oners each. with a central prisoners
exercise corridor, also a kitchen and
office, or guards sleeping room. The
building, as shown, one story high and
fireproof. will cost nearer $500 than
$4,000, but having no material costs at
hand. we are unable to make an accur-
ate estimate of the probable cost. This
building could be erected two stories
high, with only one tier of cells, and
provision made for another tier should
future requirements demand it; or an
other story and tier of cells could be
added later

sheriff's office is nearly so. Why can't
our county Jail be placed in the same
position? If go of our prisoners were

SIGN BREAKS FROM
MOORINGS; 2 HURT
Windows Also Smashed in Building
on Twentieth Street Last
Night.

A large sign just suspended from
a railing which extended along the
roof of the Pollen millinery store,
327 Twentieth street, and Hill bar
Der shop, 325 Twentieth street, was
a little too heavy for the support,
and last night the sign and railing
fell to the sidewalk. The sign was
for the advertisement of the Pollen
millinery store and was suspended
above that shop. However, the rail-
ing to which it was fastened extend
ed along the top of the Hill shop and
every inch of it came crashing to
the walk.
The accident occurred at s o'clock
and while at that hour the walk was
crowded with passing pedestrians,
luckily, no one was directly under it,
or there would undoubtedly have
been more serious results. AS it
was, two people were hurt, but nei-
Their of them seriously. One of them,
Bert Robinson, employed in the Hill
shop. had just stepped onto the walk
when the crash occurred. The sign
hit his right thigh and cut a cash.
AFTER MS Injuries were uIeSSeu' ne
was able to return to his room I'M
aided. The other injured person
was a colored boy, whose foot was
pinned under the debris. After he
was released he scooted home.
The large plate glass window in
the Pollen shop was broken, of
course, while several of the smaller
panes of glass which bordered it
were smashed.

The Special School Meeting.

A specially called meeting of the
Barton Landing Graded School dis
trict was called to order Wednesday
evening of last week in the opera hall
at 1880 o'clock by the moderator.
Senator M. M. Taplin. There was a
very large attendance Of the voters of
the school district present, including a
large number of the women taxpay-
ers. The galleries were filled by the
pupils of the upper grades of the
school, who were out in force and deep
ly interested in the proceedings. The
warning for the meeting was read by
the clerk after which the moderator
presented Art. |, to the voters for
their consideration, which was to see
if the village will build a new school
house. Whereupon G. S. Skinner i'm
mediately moved that the village
build new schoolhouse, which when
completed for occupancy should not
exceed the sum of $25, 900. The mo-
tion was seconded. Lawyer Aldrich
thereupon moved a substitute motion
to pass over the article. Before the
question was discussed, |. d. R. Col
Inns requested. that the committee ap-
pointed at what was considered an IL
legal meeting to investigate the old
school building with reference to re-
pairing by the courtesy of the meet
ing be asked to present its report.
This was done and the findings of the
committee were in favor of building a
new building. This committee. con-
sisting of DR.. G. B. Rowell, C. E..
Gay and ]. B. Cotton, declared that
the remodelling of the old building to
meet the requirements of the state
board of health would cost no less
than Sill, 900 and hence considered it
better economy in the end to build
new. The question was then under
discussion and those heard in favor of
new building were DR.. Rowell, c.
E. Gay, ]. H. Bartlett, G. S. Skinner,
R. A. Bean and w. H. Fletcher.
The vote on the substitute motion to
pass over the article was SO to 12C
and the article was passed over. A
motion was then made to adjourn,
which was lost by a vote of 81 to 90.
A motion was then made and carried
by vote of SO to 80 in favor Of re-
pairing the old building at cost not
to exceed $1,000. A building com.
mittee was then appointed consisting
of Carl Dwinell, O. W. Locke and w
K. Annis. Mr.. Dwinell Immediately
resigned saying that he considered il
impossible to repair the old building
for the sum of $1,000. Mr.. Annis al
so declined and Mr.. Locke's name
was also withdrawn, not being pres
