Gladstone TIDINGS
FOR JAIL INMATES
Good Limestone Obtainable
on City and County Land
in River Valley.

To obtain limestone of good quality
and in sufficient quantity at the least
possible expense for prisoners at the
county Jail to crack, it will be suggest
ed to the county commissioners that
the loose rocks along the Whitewater
river, which are owned by either the
city or the county, be gathered and
deposited in the Jail yard.
The rock is of good quality and
large quantities may be secured easily
1t is figured that it would not require
much expense to remove the rock to
the Jail yard. That part OF the river
bed which lies within the city would
also be cleaned up considerably by
such a method.
Proprietors OF different quarries in
this community have addressed com
munications to the board of county
commissioners asking to furnish the
Jail with rock. Unless the commits.
sioners decide to have that in the riv-
err bottoms hauled to the Jail, it is
probable they will order several car
loads before the winter is over.

Charleston, w. Va. Jan. 14.-Troops

move at once if any attempt is made
to arrest the Republican Legislators
who have bolted from the senate.
The Republicans and Democrats are
in a deadlock over the question Of or
ganiZatioa in the state senate. The
Republicans, refused TO go into joint
session after they had held caucus
and determined upon this program.
They retired to the assembly rooms
and spent the entire night behind
locked doors.
The Republicans appealed to Cover
ner Giasscock, who is himself Re-
publican, asking protection. The gov
ernor told them if any attempt was
made to arrest them he would call
out the militia to protect them.
The main fight is on state Senator

are trying to unseat SO as to give them

The ratio Of prisoners confined for

IN 1910 there was one prisoner to ev-
cry 3,o4s persons in the state, az
against a former average Of $500.

Since 1884 there have been 40,084
prisoners received, of which number
only 257 escaped. and of which 1875
were pardoned and 81, put TO death.
Cleveland led in the number or con-
victs sent up in 1910, contributing 198.
Cincinnati and Columbus had 70 each.

PLAN VISITING DAYS HUNT FOR 'RAEFLES'
New Rule at Jail to Be
Observed.

Attaches at the county Jail have
ben cautioned to exercise care in per-
uniting friends of prisoners to visit
them and remain in conversation with
them while no one is around, the
measure being precautionary against
any of the prisoners being given eth
err means to escape or whiskey or
drugs. Furthermore it is probable
that other restrictions 10 the liberties
of visitors will be instituted.
Visiting days will be fixed hereaf-
ter. Sheriff Steen believes that Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday would be
the most convenient, and it is likely
that these will be the days decided
on. OF course in cases OF illness,
death or other important matters pris-
oners will be entitled to see callers at
any time.
Heretofore callers were permitted
at any time and the present attaches
of the Jail found this somewhat incon'
venient, because they had to spend
much Of their time seeing that pris-
oners were not slipped" anything.
