DOG PUTS KIBOSH
ON ADVENTURE
Continued from Page L,

with the police department at once.
They had already found enough bones
to make quite a respectable skeleton,
if articulated. and there was not the
slightest doubt In Georges mind, that
murder most foul had been done and
the remains buried by the hand of the
slayer.
So the boys started toward the near
est house but before they reached this
they encountered a stranger. To him
they unfolded the story of their find.
The man, whose name the boys did not
learn, accompanied the band back to
the scene of the bones and even he was
impressed. He doubted that they were
human remains. but thought it might
be well to notify the police in any
event and have an investigation.
So in company with the man the
urchins tropped in the direction of the
city hall. Before they had gone more
than a hundred yards however, the eye
of the man lit on the key to the mys-
terry. This was none other than a
large dog of mongrel breed and nom
descript form, trotting warily in the
direction of the bone yard. The animal
had a large bone In its mouth. The
band halted and watched the canine
as he proceeded straight to the spot
they had just left, laid the bone down
and began to dig. The dirt flew 50
fast that for a while the dog was en-
tirely obscured. The romance was all
taken out of the little adventure, and
the boys skunk sheepishly away. The
man was inclined to give the boys the
laugh but when they pointed out to

Beat The Candidate

st. Louis, Nov. 2S.--John c. McKin-
ley, Republican candidate for governor
of Missouri, was defeated. Labor or
ganizations Of the state fought him to
the last minute. The candidate has
made himself particularly obnoxious
to the printing trades in that he was
a noisy advocate in favor of having
the school books Of the state printed
in the penal. institutions by conyicts.
The candidate apparently was-entire-
ly out Of touch with the consensus of
opinion at the present time relative
to the employment of eonEicts. Hard
ly q state in the union but that can
furnish ITS convicts with employment
in manufacturing those things which
penal and cher state supported institu-
tiens consume. No objection has ever
been raised against the employment
of convicts upon state roads, The
twentieth century. opinion is to the
effect that the convicts should be furn-
ished employment, but not in the
of products which come in
competition with the products Of free
labor. Mckinley received what was
coming to him. He was defeated, and it
was q good thing for the state that
he was. ~

WILL AID W|PING
OUT FEE SYSTEM

There are many of the city and
county officials who favor the paying
o fstraight salaries and doing away
with the fee system in the city, and
also in the county Offices. This is
true in man 70 fthe offices of the city
building, where the men employed and
also the Office holders favor the plan
of paying them straight salaries and
doing away with the fee system. It is
claimed by them that the fee system
is not at all equally divided, some of
hem get large fees and very little to
do, while others get small fees and
have to work day and night to COM
plete their work.
In the sheriff's office the fee system
is. the means of collecting salaries,
this is also the case in the county
clerks Office, in the circuit clerks Of
flee, and also in several others. Take
for instance the clerk of the circuit
court, he has, as rue, great deal
more to do than the sheriff. but gets
less than half the salary. This is not
the fault of the sheriff or the circuit
clerk blu te fault of the fee system.
It is claimed that a petition will be
|presented to the state legislature at
Their next session to do away with
the system. The majority of the EN-.
ployes of the county will favor it and
will also aid in securing ssytem
whereby they will know what their
salaries win be.

ing local of inside workers, mill men,
has not yet completed the scale de-
mands.
The agreement for the increase has
already been agreed to by the seven
largest employers of carpenters in the
settlement effected as a result of the
Auditorium controversy. and there is
no dOnbt that the other and smaller
contractors will sign the scale.
That the Carpenters unions 4, are
growing in the Wheeling district is

Facilities Inadequate
In City's Lookup

There is absolutely mo doubt but
that the cells where the prisoners are
confined in the city building are en-
tfrely out of date and that they are NO
place to keep an animal, lie alone a
human being. There are hundreds Of
places where the stalls in a stable and
the cages where animals are confined
in circus are much better, and would
be kingdom to these places. In
the city building there are ten cells
for the male prisoners and four cells
for the female prisoners. There are
to hold at least six human beings-in
each cell-here they are compelled to
spend the night until police court con-
venes in the morning, and they are
sent to the workhouse on the hill.
The police or the officials are not
censured in the least for the slowing
of these prisoners; they are compelled
to keep them, for the simple reason
that there is no place else for them.
They are in the for mo ia cage, or
rather series of cages, located in
one large room in the basement of
the city building.
Five of the cages or cells face one
wall and the other five face the other
direction. their backs to each other:
In each is a sort of shelf, just a plain
wide boand for the prisoner to sleep
on. Vere they are piled, all nationali-
ties together, with the exception Of
the colored man. They are often piled
into the cell next door teSthe whites,
six in bunch.
Danger from Disease.
The floor of these cells is raised
slightly above the cement floor Of the
main room, and is Of brick, covered
with a solution of tar and concrete.
It is not a. very desirable place for a
prisoner to lie all night, on this hard
brick floor. If there IS more than
two prisoners they can not hay on the
shelly. Two can get on the shelf, but
it was only built to accommodate one
man. The others are. compelled to
sleep Oh the floor or else stand up.
This week in particular these cells
have been filed with prisoners many
times.
Here is the question: a prisoner is
compelled to lie in these cells over
night or until the meeting of police
court, whether he is guilty or not If
he is implicated in a crime, or sus-
pected but innocent, he is still COM
PEELED to lie in one Of these cells all
night long, either on the bench or the
floor, depending on the size OF the
gang inside, It is a fine place TO con-
tract a disease It is a flne place to
get death of cold from lying on the
cold floor Many prisoners are brought
in and thrown behind the bars, limo
cent for that matter, who never slept
out of q bed in their lives: and here
in this crowded cell they lie until theil
names are called in the morning.
