REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
To the Hon. Judge of the Twelfth
Judicial District Court in and for
Rapides Parish:

To the Hon. Judge of the Twelfth
Judicial District Court in and for
Rapides Parish:
We, the Grand Jury, sworn and
impaneled at this, your October term,
1891, of yonr said Court, beg leave to
submit our final report:
We have been in uninterrupted ses-
sion for the past ten days. During
this time we have examined most dill
igently and to the best of our ability
all cases presented to rs, as we'll as
those cases that came under our own
personal knowledge.
We havo endeavored to he just to
all and have on y found trne bills
where the evidence was conclusive,
always giving the accused the benefit
of any and all doubts. We have
been delayed somewhat in our work
from the fact that Justices of the Peace
from different wards IN making ont
sheir afiaavits, do not give residence
of witnesses hence the sheriff is often
at loss where to locate them. This
we respectfully fuggest should be
corrected.
We have examined in all 1877
cases. Of this number we have re-
ported "a true bills, 60 no bills, and
ii cases have not been acted on for
want of evidence.
We have visited all the pnhlic
schools. The white primary school
we find in fairly good condition, only
there are no gntters to carry the water
from the cutters attached to the build,
ings to the cisterp. We find this con-
dition exists at all the scboolhouses,
consequently there is no water in any
of the cisterns.
The colored schoolhouse we find in
very bad condition, and it should be
repaired at once. The High School,
or Hospital building, is in good re.
pair, excepting the roof. The prop
erty, however, is without a fence
around it.
We have also visited the jail and
find everything in good condition, ex-
cept the sewers, which we find delec
tive, and recommend better system.
We also fonnd that the prisoners were
made as comfortable as could be ex.
pected under the circums tances.
No reports have been made against
any of the road syndics, therefore we
conclude that the public roads have
been properly looked after.
During our session we take pleas
ure in stating that the District Attor.
ney and the Sheriff have been parlic.
ularly kind and obliging in rendering
us all the assistance in their power to
facilitate our work.
Now, having concluded our labor,
we respectfully beg to he discharged.

Not Equality, but true Superiority over

Mercury enters into the composition OF
many blood medicines, while with others

During the summer season rhus toxi-

and there are many persons who will
take an interest in the statement that an
immunity against this plant can be Sc
cured. At least it has been done in one
instance, related by DIR. John Aulde in
the New York Medical Journal. He says
that DIR. George Kirkpatrick, of La
Harpe, ILL.,, took by mistake good swal-
low of the tincture, and in order to coun-
teract the effect of the poison large doses
of olive oil were administered, and along
with it about 10 grains of carbonate Of
sodium. No immediate unpleasant ef-
fects were observed until the second day
thereafter, when il was found that thera
was complete desquamation of the cuti-
Gle, and since that time he Is prosx
