THE COUNTY
JAIL 11 IS
BEING RUSHED
Work Is Getting Along Nicely
and the Contractor Feels
Well Pleased.
Fmm "Wednesday's Daily.
Yeterday tti concrete foun
elation for the coll room on I ho
second floor of the now jail
building was put. in by the con
tractor and as soon as the com
missioners decide to move the
i ii
oi.i cens or to purchase now
ones the work on this part of the
building will be resumed and
unshed right along. The base
ment of the jail is being grot ten
in good shape and the outside
brick work on this section of the
building is completed and only
remains to finish up I lie interior.
In this part of the jail will be
located the laundry and furnace,
as well as the cellar for the
storage of supplies by the sheriff
or jailor. There is also a small
compartment in the basement
where the prisoners will be sub
jected to a thorough disinfect
ing;, as well as wash, when it is
thought necessary by the author
ities, and this will be very con
ductive toward keeping the build
in?, or the. part where the colls
are located, much cleaner and
will learn the prisoners a lesson
in cleanliness that they will re
member. On the first floor the colls will
occupy the "rear of t he'bulldin?,
while on the west side the sheriff;
will have his office, as well as
private living: rooms for the fam
ily of the jailor. On the second
floor there will be rooms pro
vided for the women prisoners.
and the front of the building will
be griven over to sleeping quar
ters for the family of the jailor,
which will enable them to keep a
close watch on the prisoners
both day and night. Ample bath
rooms will be provided for the
use of the prisoners, as well as
the jailors, and everything in the
building will be laid along lines
to preserve the best sanitary
conditions possible in the build
ing. The work so far has been
most satisfactory and Contract
or Larson, as well as Emil Walt
ers, who has had charge of the
brifk work on the building, feel
well pleased over the progress
that has boon made.

The county camp of the Modern
Woodmen of America assembled
in this cilv today at 2 o'clock at
the hall in the Modern Woodman
building and the meeting was one
of the largest attended camps hold
in the history of the order in the
county and delegates were pres
ent from every camp in the
county. The great, interest in the
meeting was over the election of
delegates to the state convention
and also on the question of the
proposed raise in rates and the
re-election of the present head
officers of the order. The senti
ment, of the delegates from the
county seems to be very much
against the re-election of A. R.
Talbot as head counsul and also
against the rates proposed, bel
ter known as the Chicago rates,
although most of the members
seem to favor the raise of from
delegates was that the by-laws of
the order gave the authority to
the clerk of the largest camp, and
they insisted that the action ofi
Mr. Ciering was without -author
ity. After some, time spent in
arguing the pros and cons of the
right, of the first credentials com
mittee, the chairman ruled
against the recognition of them,
and allowed the consideration of

TO FILE FOB JUDGE
OF THE DISTRICT COURT
From "Wednesday's Daily.
Judge James T. Begley will file
for the nomination for judge of
this judicial district for the un
expired term of the late Judge II.
I). Travis. Judge Begley has
made many warm friends during
the time he has been upon the
bench and has made good. He is
a strong man, an efficient official
and will no doubt receive the
hearty support of all of the
voters of this county. It is not
known that anyone will file
against him. Nebraska City
News.
Judge Begley has won hosts of
friends in Cass county duirng the
short time he has been on the
bench. Ho has displayed marked
legal ability, is a young man who
is noted for his many excellent
qualities and has won the con
fidence and respect of all with
whom he has become acquainted,
and we believe Judge Begley can
be elected over any man who may
Pie against him. The Journal is
heart and soul for Judge Begley,
because he has fully demonstrat
ed in so short a time that 'he is
the right man in the right place,"
and we hope he will be elected
without any opposition.
