To the Honorable Judge of the TueEM

We the Grand Jury duly appointed
beg leave to report that after nearly two
weeks OF diligent inquiry, we have ex.
amined into 125 cases, and have found
SO true bills, and there were Is cases
not acted upon for want OF sufficient
evidence.
Having visited the buildings We find
the school houses sadly needing repairs,
and we earnestly recommend that the
same be attended to Immediately. We
have also visited the Jail and found the
premises in as good condition as it is
possible to keep them. There was 10
complaint among the prisoners in re-
gard to treatment or food, and think oul
worthy Sheriff has done his duty.
Whilst some OF the most terrible
crimes known to our laws darken ouI
records, we think we can congratulate
the people OF the parish upon the de
crease OF crime and we believe that thu
public conscience is being aroused ant
that a more rigid enforcement OF thu
laws will be demanded.

SULLIvAN'S OBESITY.

NEW YORK, April I6th.-The Sun to. day
says: John L. Sullivan is now under the
treatment of DR.. ]. w. Gibbs for obesity
and it is said that the real reason for his
delay over the arrangements of the match
with Jackson is the necessity for this treat.
ment.
Sullivan has lately been growing enorm-
ously tat, especially in the region of the
stomach. Jackson is said to be especially
addicted to stomach blows and it is neces-
sary that Sullivsn's tendency to run to fat
be overcome before he thinks OF meeting
Jackson.
Sullivan was under DR.. Gibbs care at
various times for several years, up to a
while before the Sullivan. Kilrain fight.
When that fight was being talked of Snlli-
uan was brought to this city for DR.. Gibbs
to look at, and was examined at the Hoff-
man House one night.
The doctor declared he would not be
strong enough to fight at the stipulated
time. This leaked out AID rendered it
difficult for Sullivan to get backing for the
fight
Sullivan's friends insisted that DR.. Gibbs
should change or modify his opinion, and
when he refused to do so they denounced
him for having gone back on Sullivan.
The affair got into the papers and
aroused some public interest. DIR. Gibbs
continued up to the day of the fight to de-
clare that Sullivan was not fit for the con.
test
Afterwards he insisted that Sullivan's s
success was due to Kilrain's physical con-
dition, which had been concealed from
every one bat Charley Mitchell, until after
the fight The fact that Sullivan has again
consented to put himself into Dr. Gibbs
hands is regarded as sign that the fight
er's obesity is too persistent to yield to
means ordinarily employed to reduce
weight.

one or more or sometimes all, yield to its de-
structive influence. The poison it distributes
throughout the system attacks every vital force,
and breaks up the most robust of constitutions.
Ignored, because but little understood by most
physicians impotently essailed by quacks and
charlatans those suffering from it have little
hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave
II is time, then, that the popular treatment of
This terrible disease by remedies within the
reach of all passed into hands at once compe-
tent and trustworthy. The new and hitherto
untiied method adopted by DR.. Sanford in the
preparation of his RADICAL CURE has won the
hearty approval of thousands. 1t is instanta-
neous in affording relief in all head colds,
sneezing,, snufflng and obstructed breathing,
and rapidly removes the most oppressive symp-
toms, clearing the head, sweetenfng the breath,
restoring the senses of smell, taste and hearing
and neutralizing the constitutional tendency OF
the disease towards the lungs, liver and kidneys.

OREGON WAGON ROAD GRANTS.
Important Land Decision by the Secre-
tary of the Interior.
WASHINGTON, April 16th.-The Secretary
of the Interior has rendered decision in
the case of the Willamette Valley and Cas-
cade Mountain Wagon Road Company of
Oregon VS.. Joseph A. Morton. On July s.,
1876, Congress made a grant to this COM
pany twelve miles in width and extending
across The State. Soon thereafter the Com
missioner of the General Land Office sent
to each local land office notice that the
lands within the grant were withdrawn
from settlement and entry. The notice ad-
dressed 10 the landoffice at La Grande dis
trict was never received neither was the
fact of its non-receipt known at the Gen.
eral Land Office until June 10, 1883. In
the mean time a large number of settlers,
among them Morton, settled upon the
land.
On March 2, 1889, Congress passed law
directing suit to be brought to forfeit this
and certain other grants. The wagon road
company held that the jurisdiction of the
Interior Department was ousted by the Act,
and also that the land was actually with
drawn from settlement and entry by the
act of the Commissioner of the General
Land Office signing and mailing the notice
of withdrawal
The Secretary holds to the contrary, how
ever. on both points, and directs that no
patent be issued to the company pending
suit under the Act of March 3D. This de-
cision in favor of Morton practically de-
cides a large number of similar cases in
the La Grande district.

JEFF. DAVIS DAUGHTER.
She is to Wed the Grandson of a Noted
.Abolitionist


New YORK. April 16th.-An interesting
story from Syracuse in this mornings
Herald says: Winnie Davis, daughter of
Jefferson Davis. is engaged to marry Alfred
Wilkinson, a rising young lawyer of Syra-
cuse and grandson of Samuel J. May, the
great abolitionist.
The event is of more than ordinary sig
nitcance, owing to its bearing on the out
break and fsll of the rebellion This mar
riage, when accomplished, will unite two
families that have been heretofore the most
implacable political foes, and to whose
efforts the ierceness and feyvor of the re-
bellion were largely due.
He is g son of John Wilkinson, the
grandson of Rev. Samuel J. May, who was
pioneer with Garrison and Phillips in
the great WORK for epfranchising the slaves
Not only in the United States, but in
Europe, also, did he fight for the abolition
cause.
The story of the courtship is most ro-
mantle. Miss Winnie Davis came North
some four years ago to visit DR.. Thomas
Emory of Syracuse AT one of the .ecep-
tions given in her honor she was intro
duced to Alfred Wilkinson. It will be re-
membered that Miss Winnie received a
very cool reception in one or two houses
here, and this treatment is said TO have
brought her snd Wilkinson into very close
relations. BE resented the coolness shown
her and gallantly ehampioned her cause.
