SUGGEST anew
PLAN FOR JAIL
Sheriff o. L. Bruner and Dep
uty Siemon Think Rebuild
ing Is Unnecessary.
WANT OLD ONE REMODELED
Have Scheme Which They Say Will
Double Capacity and Remove
Objectionable Features.

After comforting with a number OF
supervisors and learning that in
their opinion the prospects for Sc
curing a new Jail in this county are
far from bright, Sheriff o. L. Bru-
ner and his first deputy, George H.
Siemon, have formulated plans
whereby the present structure can
be remodeled and turned into a very
modern and serviceable prison with
an outlay not in excess of 1000
or possibly $4,000. The plans have
been submitted to several OF the
county board members and appar-
emily have met with their hearty ap-
proval. The scheme includes an al
most complete remodeling Of the in
ner part OF the building SO as TO
make ventilation possible and give
nearly double the room which the
prison now affords. The present ne
cessity of crowding together all
sorts and manner of prisoners be-
cause OF lack of room in which to
keep them properly, is the worst
feature of the Rock Island county
jail as shown in the report made pub
lie by the state charities commits
oAOh ACNCAIAys
TO SEPARATE PRISONERS.
The plan contemplated and formu-
lated by Sheriff Bruner and Deputy
Siemon is as follows The present
stone cells in the prison proper are
to be torn out completely leaving a
room over 80 feet high and about 40
feet square. This is to be made into
two rooms and these rooms will be
fitted with modern steel cages af-
fording excellent ventilation and
giving nearly twice as much room as
there is in the Jail now. The cells
are TO be fitted with cots which will
fold up when not in use and which
Will make unnecessary the pile of
straw bedding which is now used
and which literally breeds vermin of
every description. One Of the floors
will be used for prisoners who are
serving time and the other will be
for men who are held to the grand
jury or who are otherwise detained
for trial but who are not yet con-
yicted of crime. A new section ~
be used for OBTAINING boy prisoners
will be built on the first floor in the
northeast corner Of the building in
4 room which is now unoccupiet. !
rhe yre sent womer's apartment on
he second floor is to remain but IS /
@ be made more modern.
MAY BE ADOPTED.
The proposed plan is being pushed |
and it is possible that it may be |
adopted in the near future. The |
are even now consider |
ng calling a special meeting to be |
leld next month and If this takes |
,lace the jail proposition will come |
Up for consideration. The county |
S again almost broke and measures /
ire being taken to secure another
oan with which to pay salaries of |
he county officials and to meet cur
ent obligations. If the sum of $25,-
100 is secured the proposition to re-
model the jail after the plans made
" Sheriff Bruner and Deputy Sic
non will probably go through and
he work commence at once.

PICK UP A PIANO
IT is GIVEN AWAY
$3.50 Cote Piano Needn't
Cost You a Cent. Ask
Friends to Help.
Votes GIVEN TO CUSTOMERS
For Subscriptions, Dob Printing
or Advertising at The Enter
prise Office or Merchan-
disc at The Bazaar.

That advertising is now a science
is again demonstrated practically to
the buying public of this section by
the wonderful advertising system
now employed by the enterprising
business of The Bazaar, which is
going to give away absolutely FREE
to some of their customers on De-
cember 26, 1911, the beautiful Cote
Piano which is now on exhibition at
their store. The piano sells for $3.50
and is a high class instrument in
every respect. Just think of it! A
$4,000 Piano to be Given Away!
A few years ago, if a merchant was
to do such a thing he would have
been considered a fit subject for an
asylum, but conditions have chang
ed, yet in the face of the enormous
sum spent in advertising the fact
of The Bazaar giving away a $3.50
piano is a stupendous undertaking,
and it clearly demonstrates their
desire to be always up to and a
little ahead" of the spirit of the
times.
Every purchaser of 81 worth of
goods from any department of their
store will receive a coupon good for
100 votes on the piano. For every
81 subscription to the Enterprise
5000 votes will be given, also 100
votes for each Dollar paid on adver-
Using or job printing. The person
presenting the largest number of
votes on December 26th will receive
the piano absolutely free No favors
will be shown and every person will
receive an equal chance. The repu-
tation enjoyed by The Bazaar for
square dealing" insures this fact.
We think the buying people will ap-
preciate this extremely liberal offer
of Mr.. R. l. Maffett, and we predict
a lively scramble for votes. When
making purchases, or paying for
subscriptions, advertising or job
printing, ask for votes.

BIanes The Circuit judge

Last Friday night Charlie Hall, a
negro, was lynched by a mob at
Lawrenceville, Ga. He had COM
mitted the usual namelesS crime
against a white woman, and the
crime was so brutal and atrocious
that the public was wrought up to
the point of mob violence.
GWinnett superior court was in
session, and Judge Brand promised
an immediate trial of the negro for
the crime. The Judges promise
did no good.
Now comes a dispatch from At
lanta saying:
"Adjutant General A. J. Scott has
given out a vigorous interview which
to all practical intents and purposes
puts the blame for the lynching OF
the negro, Charlie Hall, at Law
renceville, upon Judge Charles Brand
of the superior court of that locality
The presence of militia would
have prevented the lynching, says
General Scott. The militia could
easily have been sent. Troops were
awaiting for the call, says General
Scott and could have been on the
scene in forty minutes had they
been asked for. General Scott says
that while he was getting ready to
send the troops in response to a
call. there came an authoritative
message from Judge Brand that
everything was quiet and that
there was no need of them.
