There are eight cages in all, four on the first fluor and four on the second. The cages on the lower floor are made of iron the floor being concrete These cells are intended for women and ordinary jail sentences. The cages on the upper floor are built entirely of steel, floors, sides and ceilings and in these will be kept the nore desperate and dangerous class Each ceil is supplied with bunks which are made fast to the sides of the cage by hinges and can be closed up when notin use. Between the cells is the exercise room. The cell doors are locked on the outside by levers and padlocks. The entire building is supplied with water by the water worke, which will be free of cost. This jail is considered to be th best in this section of the state and is amply large for the needs of th: county for the present at least. The members of the court, Mesers Reece, Fix and Hays are to be com mended for taking hold of this mat ter in the face of the opposition that has heretofore existed and giv ing to Bates county this much need ed and long desired public building They are also to be congratulated for the economic manner in which they used the people’s money. The jail is built, paid for and not a dollar was wasted or misapropri- ated. Sheriff Colyer will occupy his new quarters this week and the prisoners will be removed from the old to the new jail. Mr. R. E. Allen is in the field in A. H. Livingstone, of West Plaine, applicant for the United States at- torneyship for the Western District of Missouri, has withdrawn his papers filed at Washington, and an- nounces his withdrawal from the democratic party.

Lane & Adair will invoice their stock of goods the first of March. In order to reduce their stock as much as possible for that occasion they announce that they will give the public some choice bargains in dry goods and boots and shoes. They have one of the nicest and freshest stocks in town and the bar- gains they offer should certainly be an inducement to those in need eof goods. Before buying call and see them and note their low prices es they want to makeroom for sprivg goods. Ex priest McNamara is being handled without cloves in the courts at Independence for slanderous state- ments made in a Kansas City lecture a short time ago, wherein he touch- ed upon the character of priests and otker Catholics. In the case where he slandered Father William Dalton, the jury returned a verdict of 12 months in the county jail and a fine of $500. There are seyeral other charges against him of a similar na- ture and is highly probable he will be still further punished. Misses Rose and Carrie Free- man entertained a number of their friends Friday night at» their home two miles west of the city, and a splendid time was had. S. W. S. Childs made an assign- ment on Monday in favor of the Bates County National Bank, and Judge D. V. Brown was placed in charge of the stock of Hardware and implements.
