Of Yellow Deck and Sarsaparilla,' which is
proving itself nn antidote for many of the most
malignant diseases that flesh is heir to, and
they will never be disappointed; for in this
remedy the public faith has never wavered-
never can wnver; for it is founded on expe

in their utmost strength and efficacy.
Experiments were made in the manufacture
of this medicine until it was found that it
could not be further improved.

tormenting diseases of the skin so trying the

The following resolutions were then read to
the meeting and unanimously adopted

We also made especial inquiry into the
condition of the residences of our Chinese
population, and duty conpels us to say
that they are detrimental to the health of
the citizens of the town, owing to their
extreme filthiness, and the manner IN
which their fires are kept renders the pro
perty of the town extra hazardous, we
regard the corrective first with the land
lords themselves and doubt not that an
effort on their part to correct this erH VIII
meet with hearty response and aid from
the citizens generally. We would also
recommend judicious disposal of the
old Court House, and the office at this
time occupied by Sheriff Astin, as they
now remain they are neither source OF
profit or convenience to the county, and
funds arising from the SAFE could properly
apply to the liquidation of county in
dab,edness. 1t is with extreme ditfidence
that we remind the Court of the prorriety
of providing an Office for the Prosecuting
Attorney, adjacent to the Grand Jury
Room, former Grand Jury having cali
ed the Court to this subject in detail, saves
further comment.
In conclusion the Grand Jury would
extend their thanks to the various officers
in attendance, and to our Foreman, ID.

manner in which he has presided at th,

GRAND JURY REPORT.
To the Honorable Court of Sessi rs for
Placer COuntu, .Atgust Term, 1854.

FE0cer county, V7ngust erm, 1904.
We, the Grand Jurors of Placer county,
having been called upon and sworn to
carefully enquire into all matters submit
ted to US concerning the welfare of the
county, and more particularly to enquire
into the manner in which the public off1 =
GERS have discharged their various duties,
having performed our obligations to the
best Of our ability, beg leave to submit
the following Report, to wit: VI critnl-
nal business a large number of cases have
come before us and been disposed of. We
would recommend to those officers en-
trusted with the guardianship Of the laws
a prompt and efficient execution thereof,
without fear or favor, that all may re-
ceive the protection guaranteed. Of the
Treasury department we find after a
careful examination Of the Books and
Vouchers, appertaining to that depart
ment a correct exhibit. Of the County
Clerk, Auditor, and Recorder, we are
happy to say that all matters appertaining
to this department exhibits a careful, sys-
tematc and business supervision, and re-
fleets credit on the present incumbent and
from careful inspection of the exhibit
find the Indebtedness of the county to be
as follows:
Total amount fScrip issued
since the county organlza-
ton to be $l24,44S "a
Total amt of Scrip redeemed 95,l7S Ia
Amt of outstanding Scrip 29,269 so
Amt of cash on hand CTS SO
Amt of present Indebtedness 1851 81
The Committee appointed by the Grand
Jury to examine the books of the Sheriff
made the following report, which report
was adopted and hereto appended and
forms part of this report. We repaired
to the County Sheriff's office, and after
waiting for said officer some considerable
time, he made his appearance. He being
informed that we were COMMITTEES 60
examine his books. He stated, az first,
that he had no books, afterwards he said
we might examine such books as he kept.
He used extreme violent language TO the
committee, couched in very vulgar man
ner, charging the Grand Jury with rascal-
ty and villainy, using language too vile
and vulgar to be repeated by this com
mittee. As an example of his remarks we
will present the following: He said that
damned scoundrels and villains, and that
he did not care God damn for any Of
the Grand Jury. We were shown his
Jail Book or Board Book, also his COM
initials and believe them to be correct,
ell of which is respectfully submitted.

Adopted.

Ok examination of the County Jail, we
can saw that cleanliness and order is mark
ed in every department and no pains spar
ell for the security and health of the prl
soners who speak in commendable terms
of Sheriff Astin and his deputies, not
forgetting John Spell, the jaior. The
only thing complained of on the part of
the prisoners is the want of better venti-
lation of the apartments, which we think
might be had with little expense, and
properly claims the attention of the Court
of Sessions in this particular. In the
Charge of the Court to the Grand Jury
their attention was particularly called to
certain newspaper publications rejecting
upon Hon Judge Fitzsimmons and Sheriff
Astin. In reference to the first, after a
careful and full investigation we are led
to the belief that no blame attaches to
Judge Fitzsimmons personally, but that
the Court of Sessions improperly appro'
priated the funds of the county. In re.
ference to She riff Astin we called for the
Introduction of the Treasurer, his books
and vouchers. The books Of that officer
shows that upon the 1st of May there was
paid into the Treasury on property tax
by w. H. Dillingham;, Deputy Sheriff,
$l,859 40, aud the next payment made
therein bv the same officer was on the tn
day of July, amount 1875 10; the Trea-
surer verified the correctness of his books.
The Grand Jury at loss to determine
in the case, introduced Sheriff Astin, who
stated that he was not sufficiently con-
versant with the matter to enable him to
throw any light on the subject, but asked
that Mr.. Dillingham; be called as the pro-
per one to answer, aud asked that the
matter be postponed until next day, which
was complied with. Mr.. Dillingham; next
day appeared, and on oath stated that be-
tween the lst of May and the LIST of June
he had collected some tour or five hun
dred dollars, and between the lat of June
and the lst of July he had collected some
five or six hundred dollars. AS to the
amounts he could not state definitely but
would have to refer to his books. On being
requested to do so he left for that purpose,
and on his return, presented small
memorandum book containing the receipts
uf the Treasurer for money paid in, call
ing our attention to the amount paid in
on May lst and July 1lth, dates and
amounts corresponding with the Treasu-
rers books. Mr.. Dillingham; on being
called upon for his books, at this stated
that it would take us two days to under
stand them, there being no dates as to
the time of payment to him made subse-
quenty, to wit: On the 18th inst, Mr.. W..
H Dillingham;, Deputy Sheriff, appeared
before the Grand Jury, with his books
and stated that said books showed all the
monies he had collected on property tax
for the present year, no dates being en-
tered in said books showing the time Of
payments Of the different sums The Grand
jury were only enabled to determine on
the gross amount collected from ,he 1T
of M ,rch to the 18th of August, which
showed $7,7S9 SO. Amounts paid into
the Treasury by said Sheriff as follows;
