The Jail In a Bad Caadlttoa.
We have been informed that the
county jail, at Douglas, is in a filthy,
unhea thy, uncleanly condition,
enough to endanger the life and
health of any one confined there,
and is a menace to health of those
living near. It is said the sink is
poorly arranged, overflows and en
velops the entire building with
nauseous gasses calculated to breed
the most dangerous disease*. This
matter should be looked after. If
a man is a prisoner he is still * .hu
man, but cannot help himself, there
fore the custodians of the law
should see that his life and health
ate protected. This cess-pool is
close to our office and we hope for
humanity s sake something will be
done at once to remedy the disgust
ing nuisance.
