A gentleman while working on a
new building near the terminus of
Willow street, San Jose, the other
day found tarantula hole in the
ground In which were three large
tsrantulas and kind of shell, or CO.
coon, which was supposed to contain
tsrantula eggs. The shell was broken
and he counted 800 young ones.
The first hops were grown in the
Puyallup valley, Washington Terri
tory, in 1885, by Jacob Meeker.
There are now fifty four hop grounds
in the valley with an aggregate of
6S5 acres. The largest contains fifty
two acres. A number of fields in
the valley have for years yielded e.
900 pounds to the acre. The seasons
crop in the valley will not be less
than 100000 pounds.
The instruments for magnetic OBJ
servatory at Los Angeles, California,
have arrived from Washington in
charge of Professor Suess. No other
observatory of this kind exists in the
United States. The object is to get
the exact variation of the needle, so
that measurements of land, etc, may
be reduced to an absolute certainty.
Los Angeles was selected becsuae
fewer causes then elsewhere influence
the variation of the needle.
The fire in the mountains about
Shasta has spread to Trinity Noun
tain, north and west of the Tower
House for five miles. causing delay
and trouble to teams. The County
Hospital at Shasta was threatened
with destruction, and would proba
bly, have been burned but for timely
resistance to the spreading flames by
the citizens Of that place. The de-
struction to private property, such
as houses, barns, orchards, vineyards,
etc, has already reached thousands OF
dollars, laying waste large scope OF
country, burnlng up some fir timber

The stage robbery which was re-
ferred to as having been committed
near Cherry Greek, occarred within a
mile and a half of Sprucemount, on
the road between Humboldt Wells
and Cherry Creek. ]. N. Thacker,
special officer of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
went to the scene to endeavor to find
some clew to the perpetrators. He
stated a week ago that they had trsc-
ed the Kelton stage robbers into Ne
vada, but as he had to appear as q
witness in a case at Los Angeles Cal =,
he could not follow them. He is
satisfied the same men who robbed
the Kelton stage twice, committed
the robbery at Sprucemount.

MIDDLE-AGED MEN.

There are many at the age of thirty TO six.
ty who are troubled with too frequent evacu-
ations of the bladder, often accompanied by
a slight smArting or burning sensation and a
weakening of the system in manner that the
patient cannot account for. On examining
the urinary deposits a ropy sediment will Of
ten be found, and sometimes small particles
OF albumen will appear, or the color will be
of thin milkish hue. again changing to a
dark and torpid appearance. There are many
men who die Of this difficulty, ignorant of
the cause, which is the second stage of semi
nal weakness. DR.. S will guarantee q per-
feet cure in all such cases, and a healthy re-
storation Of the genito-urinary organs.

Report of the Grand jury ON the Par.
ish Jail.
To the Honorable the Police Jury of the parish

To the Honorable the Police Jury of the parish
Of ST. Landry.
In the opinion of the Grand Jury the time
has come when the parish of st. Landry should
erect new Jail. The present Jail was built
about 35 OF 40 years ago, since that time, our
population has more than doubled, and though
ut the time OF its erection amply sufficient for
the needs and wants OF the parish is now totally
inadequate. 1t is moreover so dilapidated that
it cannot be repaired or kept in proper sanitary
condition for the detention OF prisoners with
all the care that can be exercised by the Tailor
or sheriff. The Grand Jurors would further
call attention to the fact that the erection OF a
new Federal Court in Louisiana holding SEES
sions at Opelousas will necessarily greatly in
crease the number Of inmates OF said Jail within
the next twelve months, as prisoners are liable
to be confined therein under process OF the
United States Courts from any Of the parishes
comprising the Western District OF Louisiana.
In addition to these reasons the Grand Jurors
would call attention to this fact that since 1868
every grand inquest OF this Court has con-
demned said jail and though ten or fifteen
thousand dollars have been spent in repairs OH
said Jail in paying for extra guards and for
ironing ana lnlroning prisoners, &c., still the
nifty. Your grandinuuest further call attention
to the fact that owing to the crowded condition
OF the Insane Asylum OF the State, many per-
SOILS bereft OF reason and whose running at
large would be dangerous to the community,
have to be consigned to said Jail and kept there
i'll for months and sometimes for years. That
no suitable accommodations can be had in said
fortunate condition while therein confined
should appeal to the humanity of all and es-
pecially to you who alone have the power to
come 20 their relief. That owing to the in
creased revenues OF the parish derived from
taxation the railroads recently constructed and
now i'll process OF construction in our parish
our financial condition is such that the erection
of a proper Jail would not seriously effect the
parish treasury Wherefore the Grand Jurors
request your earnest and careful consideration
Of this suggestion and request you during the
coming year to make provisions for the cree
ton new jail
Respectfully submitted,

TOm Tile IactS CnaC tllS parish IS the
largest territorially in the State, except
Calcasieu, and the most populous, ex.
cept Orleans, having over 1900 popula.
ton, and being traversed by three rail.
roads already built, and others in pros.
pect, and having several navigable
streams, it stands first politically and
otherwise among the country parishes
Opelousas is the parish seat, and is
noted for its healthfulness. 1t is in the
most populous if not fine richest ward
in the parish. With population OF
about 1000 inhabitants, it has five chur-
ches, and two congregations without
churches; it has two converts; and it
has several public and private schools.
The courts held here, of the State judi
ciary, are two justice of the peace courts,
district court, circuit court of appeals,
and supreme court; of the federal
judiciary, are district and circuit courts,
the first terms Of which have just been
held.
The parish is a judicial district of it.
self, and also a senatorial district with
two senators, and has four members in
the legislature.
The State judiciary is supplied with
courthouse and Jail, but the federal
courts here are without these necessary
buildings. The parish court house and
Jail might be used, as at present, but
the terms Of some Of these courts con-
hict-our State circuit court and the
federal court were held here on the
same days last week. The federal
courts need buildings for courthouse.
clerks Office and marshall's office; and
the place is of sufficient importance,
both in population and business, to de-
mand them. The federal courts begun
here with about forty cases, which is a
considerable number at the Inaugural
tien of a new court. 1t is now nearly
seventeen years since the war, and if
this parish has derived any benefit
from the federal government, or by
being represented in it, we do not know
it. Heretofore we did not care for any
but now we need these buildings, and
would like to have an appropriation to
build them. We suppose it is the duty
of our Senators and Representative at |
Washington to attend to the matter. |
They may do it. and they may not; and
if not, we hope this parish, with it's
large vote, will ignore political names
at the next election and endeayor to
elect some one who will. It is the
business of the government to have
such buildings constructed; and we be-
lieve that if the matter is brought be-
fore it in the proper manner, the work
will be done.
