HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.

THE PRESENT PRISON,

a full-page view of which will be found on page 115, is a very imposing affair, compared to the long, low, wooden shed in which convicts were confined in the early days of the State. A stone wall 24 feet in height surrounds the building on the sides and rear, and also part of the front. On this wall are erected turrets, in which the guards, who pace the parapet all day, with Remington rifles on their shoulders, take refuge in stormy weather. The grounds comprise 32 acres, the prison building occupying a square space of 12 acres. In the front building are the offices of war- den and chaplain, one forming the prison library and business office. On a movable window pane of the agent's office is the in- scription, "Tickets 25 cts.," indicating the amount of fee paid by visitors who wish to explore the curiosities of prison life. This building projects from the line of the prison wall some 40 feet. Behind this is the central building, four stories high. On the first floor are the offices of the surgeon and hall-master, and doors at either end of the hallway lead into the east and west wings, before described. On the second floor is the guard-room, a spacious apartment, opening into which are the offices of the deputy-war- den and minor officials. Above this, on the third floor, is the chapel, with a seating capacity of over 400; there is also a gallery capable of seating 100 visitors. The fourth floor is taken up by a hospital, a large, clean, bright rotunda, with two tiers of sick rooms, the upper tier approached by staircases and a gallery on the four sides.

THE COMMISSARIAT.

In rear of the west wing is the convicts' dining hall, -a large apartment, furnished with rows of long tables, 12 inches in width, and small stools. The apartment is garnished with several am- biguous mottoes hung around the walls. Leading from the dining hall is the kitchen, where all the cooking is done for about 900 men. The steward is assisted by a convict squad of 35 cooks, bakers and scullions, and the appliances and utensils are on a scale commensurate with the culinary requirements of the institution. Three large copper boilers, shining like burnished gold, with a capacity of 35 gallons each, are the receptacles in which the coffee is made and sweetened. The meat, which invariably consists of fresh beef, pork and mutton, is cooked in large iron boilers, the soup in Brobdingnagian bottles, and the potatoes in gigantic steamers. The wheat bread is kneaded by a half-dozen floury artisans, and baked in enormous ovens. The bill of fare is on the same colossal scale. The quantity of food used varies from day to day, with the ever-changing number of convicts in the prison.

Feb. 21, 1878, the number of convicts within the walls was 832. This is more than the usual average, and, in fact, more than can be accommodated with cells. The overplus sleep on cots in the

corridors of the wings,-a decided advantage over being cooped up in the small, unventilated cells. The following bill of fare for a week, based upon a daily average of 7863 rations, shows the reg- ular diet of the prison :

Sunday-B. Hash; wheat-bread, 310 fbs., and coffee.

D. Fresh beef, 700 fbs; potatoes, 10 bushels; beet- pickles, 5 bushels; wheat bread, 420 Ibs; dressing.

THE SUPPER,

which is eaten in the cells, is invariably bread and coffee, about nine ounces of bread being served out to each convict.

The total cost per week of these mountains of solid and rivers of liquid food is $578.81, and the average cost per convict per day 10g cents. This is simply the cost of the raw food. The total ex- pense for food for January, 1878, was $2,600.

EDUCATION.

A department of education has been instituted in the State's prison at Jackson. The schedule of studies laid down embraces reading, spelling, writing, arithmetic, geography, grammar, United States history, bookkeeping, civil government, natural philosophy, physiology and hygiene and mental and moral philosophy. The regular course will extend three years, and sessions will be held each evening, Sunday excepted. The idea underlying the experi- ment is, that as ignorance begets crime, so may education make men better.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

The personal history of any community is the most important and valuable record that can be compiled, not only for our own but for the generations to follow. We realize this fact, and in detailing the history of the city of Jackson we give the personal history of those who have been most closely identified with the growth and development of the city.

Fred G. Adler, Seltzer ale and beer bottler, 118 East Main street, was born in Germany in 1851; came to the United States when he was a boy and located in Peru, Ills., where he received a limited education; his father and mother died when he was a mere boy.
