Fine a Jail as Any Town of 6,000 Population in the West. From Wednesday's Daily. Those of our citizens who have not as vet visited the new city jail in the basement of the city hall should do so at the first opportunity and see the fine prison that has been created here with the expenditure of only a few hundred dollars, and now the city can boast of as complete a jail as can be found in any f,mall town of the coun try. The police committee has kept supervision of the work of refitting the basement and have certainly made a good job of it. Three good-sized cells have been constructed in the jail and a grating along the west side allows the prison ers to be locked up and the police can enter the jail without danger of get ting rapped over the head by some of the prisoners who might feel inclined that way. The cells are all separated by rows of. piping that keeps the pris oners anart, although tney can con- vei :-e among themselves. Toilet rooms have been provided in the cor ridor in the jail, with wash-stand, where the prisoners or tramps taking refuge there for the night can clean themselves up. In the southeast cor ner of the room, v. here the door is located, is a good-sized space where the police can make their headquar ters in the evening and keep a watch ful eye on the men who are confined in the jail. The ceiling is covered with galvanized iron and the room lit by electric lights, making it most complete in every way. The cells and interior of the prison have been dec orated in a very handsome manner in gray and black by J. W. Bookmeyer, the artistic painter, and present a very r.eat appearance. The mayor, city clerk, members of the council and the Journal represent ative visited the new prison Monday evening after the council meeting, and the manner in which it has been fixed up was a revelation to all of the coun cilrr.en, who have not been interested in the work of fixing it up, and the police committee received many-eom-pliments on the way in which it had been fitted out. For years the city was compelled to use the county jail to care for their prisoners, but they can now feel independent with their new, up-to-date city prison.
