IL Lp T JULIAN,
 Committee. FLAGSTAFF, Arizona, Oct. S0th, 1898. To THE FOREMAN OF THE GRAND JURY: We. your committee appointed to in- vestigate the condition of the county jail aud hospital, beg leave tp report as follows:
 We find that the roof of the lail is de- fective, so that water runs through and down the walls, and into the Inside of the jail. If this is not remedicd, it will in time injure the walls of the jail, and make the building unsafe, as well as uncomfortable and unhealthy. We also find two large holes. m the ceiling of the jail, which let in a good deal of draught, and tend to make the jail uncomfortable and increase the ex- pense of keeping it warm. We recom- mend that these be repaired as soon as possible.
 We find that the water tnnk on top of the cells is covered with rust on the inside, which affects the quality of the water used by the inmates for drinking and other purposes. We recommend that this be painted on the inside, which will prevent the rust from acyumu- lating.
 We find several large cracks and nu- merous small holes in the cement floor of the jail, and it seems hardly neceg- sary to recommeud that these defects be remedied at once.
 We find the county hospital in neat and clean condition, everything well kept, everything provided necessary for the comfort of any who may be placed there, At present there are two inmates. FRANK OwENDY,

STORY OF THE FAIR.

Inception and Development of the Great
est of All Expeditions.
It was on Christmas eve of 1890 that ex-Presi-
dent Harrison issued his proclama ton announc-
ing to the nations Of the earth the great worlds
fair enterprise and asking their partcipa ton in
it. To that invitation every civilized country
on the globe has made generous response
Exhibits of the products Of art, science and
industry have been brought from the farthest
corners of the earth aud representatives OF the
human race from the happy Hottentot up
through the scale of civilization have collected
in Jackson park to make the great show that
has just opened the most complete, the
most magnificent the world has ever seen.
The presidents proclamation announcing
government sponsorship for the fair was not,
however, the inception Of the enterprise. It
followed several months after the congressional
act committing the government to the worlds
fair and locating 1t in Chicago, which was
passed on February Is, 1890, and the subsequent
act OF April 25, 1899, prescribing what the fair
was to be.
The Struggle for the Prize.
The battle for the location of the fair, which
finally resulted so overwhelmingly in ChfcagO's
favor, was indeed q memorable one. In the
struggle among the greatest cities OF the nation
to secure the prize there we're stings and dis
appointments which even now, at the opening
OF the big show, are not forgotten. The men
of Chicago measured their strength with the
giants OF Gotham and other cities and won be-
cause they made the best showing and had the
best to offer.

There were many claimants for the exposi-
ton prize, but when the Chicago delegation
went to W ashington to fight the battle before
congress they found that only three other cities

Even Clergymen Yielding to Strong De-

CHICAGO, May L. There is a strong
feeling both among commissioners and
directors setting toward Sunday open

Bryan says that he would not be
surprised if this was the final result, as
pressure from every direction was being
felt in it's favor. He found that even
clergymen who had expressed them
selves strongly against the Sunday
opening were beginning to yield to the
wishes of their congregation and were
swinging into line for opening, or at
least were withdrawing their active op-
position to it.
