Fun Report.
When DEMOCRAT reporter sought
to obtain the report of the Grand jury
for publication last night, he met witt
the answer that no such matter coulc
be given out until today by order oil
court However, by piece of dellber'
ate demagogy and unscrupulous lying
an alleged reporter for the Repository
secured the list and in violation OF the
courts rules, it partially appeared IN
last nights issue of that paper
We print this to explain why we are
a "day behind" in the publlca-
ton of this matter, and confess
that the disreputable means used by the
living newspaper embryo of the Even
| ing Repository has enabled that paper
| to print a portion of this matter first.
| If this is an exhibition of enterprise,
then the DEMOCRAT has been outwittt d
young man who wishes to pose as
a leader of Canton newspaper
by the ungentlemanly actions OF a
men. THE DEMOCRAT expects to obey
the orders of Court, as all decent pa,
pers should do. In matters OF good
taste and honor, THE DEMOCRAT
leads. whilst the INSCRIPTIONS Repos-
tory lags a great distance behind.
The grand jury found indictments

REPORT OF GRAND JURY AS TO JAIL &C.
To the Honorable Anson Pease, Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas, STARK
county, Ohio;
The Grand Jury of the January term
A. D., 1888, of the Court of Common
Pleas of stark county, beg leave to re-
port, that in pursuance of the instruc-
tions heretofore given them by saip
Court, they have visited the County
Jail of said County, and have examined
its condition, and inquiry into the dis
cipline and treatment of prisoners
therein confined, and their habits, diet
and accommodations, and find that the
rules heretofore prescribed by this
Court, have been faithfully kept and
observed, and the dicipline and treat
ment of the prisoners good and kind in
every respect, and that they have good
and proper and substantial diet, and
proper accommodations
We find upon examination that the
SONllI lOOulos ASoPSOloly SOuAO AeOOAl
No. ~ to be more or less contaminated
with foul air, which in our judgment is
principally due to improper ventilation
and the improper care of cess-pools, in
this, that the cess-pools are allowed to
become filled up to point above the
place where the pipes enter therein, and
thereby forcing gas up the pipes and
into the building, and preventing the
air vents from properly performing
their duties, and thereby causing said
obnoxious gas to be distributed through
out the Court House, and especially so
in Court Room No. 1.
For the purpose of remedying these
evils we would suggest that the proper
authorities be compelled to keep said
cess pools empty at all times to point
below the place where said pipes enter,
and that proper Yentilators be placed
on top of said cess-pool; and suggest
that the question of proper sewerage
ought to command the serious atten-
ton and consideration of the parties
having the power to act therein, and we
further suggest that better ventilation
be provided for Court Room No. |. .l.
JOHN E. KITZMILLER, o.
Foreman of the Grand Jury.
