aayor KoutsVy "Id last eyenln?; that he
was heartily In favor of the erection of a
ew eltr hall.' He further elated that until
tha eltr was In a position to erect one
omethlng should be done to repair the one
tn uie.
H la an undisputed fact that the city
Jail la simply In a deplorable atate. It Is
damp and cold and the city haa fee a long
time been expecting serious result b from
the effects of the poor sanitary condition
Of the same. In addition to this, there are
low no accommodation! for prleonera, and
the rock-pile gang, which la generally
larger, must either sleep on the cold, ce
ment floor, or rest standing up. There la
' no woman's or children's cell and every
thing connec'ted with the Jail la In a very
poor shape Indeed.
"t believe that tha council should do
omethlng with that Jail." said Mayor
Koutsky, "and I believe It should be done
t once. It seems too bad that women
must be confined In the aame rooms with
men and children, when they are arrested.
Suitable cota should be bought and an ad
ditional ward built for women and chil
dren. Not only that, but there ought to be
omethlng done for tha convenience of the
elty offices. Those offices down at the city
Ball are too crowded for comfort and there
la not sufficient vault room In either th
clerk's or treasurer'a office. As our lease
does not expire for another year, 1 am at
a loss to know how this can be remedied,
but tha Jail should be attended to at once."

ties of Nebraska through which Its road

be conservative and lower than the reports
of the commissioner really warrant, show
abundant yields ot all crops and a vast
amount of stock raising. They fully sup
port tha predictions ot bumper crops and
Increased livestock production which bad
been generally made and prove that this
part of Nebraska, as well as other parte,
enjoys the distinction of an unusually pros
perous season,
This estimate places the yield of corn this
year for these twenty-seven counties at
86,000,000 bushels; osts, J5.0OO.00O bushels;
rye, 8.000,000 bushels; winter wheat, 1,000,

ing Chicago Sunday, October 6. This Is to
be the official train for ths Nebraskans and
all the other Omaha-Chicago' lines will turn
over their crowds to tha Wabash at Chicago.

Including a sufficient number of chair cars
and Pullman tourist sleepers. It will go
through to tha national capital without a
change and tha veterans and their families
will have nothing to do but keep their
seats until they get off at the seat of gov
ernment. They doubtless will do more,
however, for the Wabash has arranged for
a brief stop at Niagara Falls, through which
place the train will pass, and also at De
troit, Buffalo, Harrlsburg and Baltimore,
all ot which Important cities will be on
the route. The party la to leave Chicago
