TO the Honorable District Court, 10Th
Judicial District. in and for Stevens
County: .-... '..'. '~':..f".: go
The grand ,E,ry of the November
term. 1880. respectfully beg leave to
report that in accordance with the
charge of the court, it has examined
what is denQminated the county Jail,
and that We find that the so-called
jail is so i'll name only; that it is en-
tirely unfit to keep any human being
i'll. and So glaringly unsafe. that it is u
surprise to us that any one incarce-
rated there stays there for q day. We
therefore most earnestly recommend
to the county commissioners that II
proper aud suitable stone jail, with at
least two steel cells. he at once. or
;ts soon, as the weather. will allow
procured by the county. . ....... ...
We understand that this is not the
first time the attention of the board
has been called to this matter. and are
of opinion that if this report should
not procure speedy action on their
part that another grand jury ought
properly to take more effective
cognizance Of the matter. so as to as
certain whether their nOn-action does
not warrant al Indictment for non
feaSance. .,-
We also report that we have exam-
ined the other public buildings of the
county. and find that the court house
of this county is entirely inadequate
for present purposes, not to speak of
the near future, and. that we find the
clubhouse a public nuisance, and that
we deem it advisable that the board
should take some action with Il view
to secure. 1T no distant day. proper
grounds fora new and suitable court
house. and for the erection of a court
house ut the county seat which would
meet the demands Of the times. All
of which is respectfully submitted.

HOW 1T WAS DONE.

Church TorringtOn was, perhaps,
the greatest coward among women in
New York.
Miss Violet Purple was very plump
anG rather small, with soft blue grey
ewes. eyebrows like twin arches of jet,
shining chestnut hair. and skin like
white velvet, just flushed with the
sortest pink on either dimpled cheek.
Violet Purple was born to be mar
rie>i-you couldn't think of her as an
old maid anv more than you could
think of strawberries without cream,
or satin slipper without dainty
foor to fit it. and whenever she thought
OF the probability of such a catas-
rrcphe. q face like the mustached
phvsiogomy of Mr.. Church Torring-
ION outlined itself through the misty
vapors of her day dream.
Rut Mr.. Church was so dreadfully
basEful-he wouldn't propose-and
pocr little Violet was nearly at her
wis end what to do in this dire per-
plexity.
And still, In spite of all this, MIR.
Torrington persisted in keeping his
love to himself. In vain Aunt Serep'
"a look her work up stairs, and left
the drawing room free TO twilight and
the lovers-in vain Violet put on hel
nrertiest dresses, and curled her hair
with a special eye to Church Torring
tons taste.
And little Violet took to crying al
night on her lace edged pillows, ana
Aunt Serepta, a tall, maiden lady,
VINO had recently come up from the
country to take charge of her brother'l
household, scarcely knew what to do.
Miss Serepta Purple set herself tt
untangle this Gordian knot of circum
stances as she would have done {
"snarr" In her skein of mixed woods
I'll 90 and see him myself" wa
the result of long day of meditation
on Miss Serepta's part land | won
LET her know about it.
Mr.. Church Toppington sat in hi
leather-covered easy chair, lookin,
out a difficult case in "Estopples.
when his clerk announced Miss Sarep
Ia Purple.
He eolored scarlet as he dragge'
forth a chair, and stammered on
some incorent sentence or other.
Thank you" said Miss Purple
I've come on business"
Indeed"
Because" said Miss Sarepta, eds
ing her chair q little nearer that c
the young lawyer, 81 think it's tim
this business was settled"
"What business
What business ?" echoed Miss Pu
pie; "as if you do not knew We
enough what | am talking about
whv. getting married, TO be sure"
Mr.. Torrington grew shade or tv
paler. Was it possible that this a
Gent maiden still contemplated Il
probability of matrimony:
