As to tho Bsstian Case.
The Jury made this reference to
the Bastian case:
We believe that the Investigations
made in the case of the murder of
Fred Kuschmann ct al, by one Hen
ry Bastian (deceased) have been full
and complete and all has been done
to bring to justice any and all access
series. And We therefore believe it
unnecessary to make additional costs
for the people in said case. But in
case any evidence be discovered that
will shed light on said murder OF
murders that it be again taken up
and fully investigated.
Tie visit to the Jail resulted in this
report:
We, the grand jury, having visited

find it we'll cleaned and in as good
sanitary condition as could be OK.
pected. We find the cells so ar.
ranged that the ventilation is poor,
and would recommend that in the
first part of the Jail, where female
prisoners are kept, that such changes
or improvements be made whereby
young offenders or prisoners may BIS
kept separate or apart from the older
ones. Also in the male department
we would recommend that il would
be much better to keep the younger
prisoners apart from the older GRIM
inals.
Authorities Called Down.
These resolutions were adopted:
Whereas. The grand jury has
been called upon to invest gate much

Whereas, Such necessary investi-

when one of them uttered an oath.
In an instant the general dropped
his knife and fork. and in a firm
undertone SAID, 4 thought we all
supposed ourselves gentlemen'- a
thrust which the swearer keenly
felt"
9Th. 1t is soul destroying. The
latter clause of the third command
ment, to which allusion has already
been made, plainly declares "the
LORD will not hold him guiltless,
ii. e. he will hold him guilty. who
taketh his name in vain. No
other bad habit works so directly to
make its victim peevish, fercely
angry, domineering and conten-
tious (unless it be the drink habit)
as the foolish and wicked practice
of swearing; as this evil habit breaks
down the swearer's character, he
becomes more and more a prey to
all manner of wickedness and sinks
deeper and deeper into sin. Swear
ing, if INDUCED in for any length
Of time, becomes a fixed habit, and
like other strong and fixed habits,
controls It's victim and sways him
at will. No CRY for mercy, no real
penitence of heart can exist where
heart and mouth are defled with
impious thoughts and profane ut
terances. He that curseth God and
dieth, dieth as the fool dieth and
sinks into endless woe.
AS every minister and religious
teacher knows, the above is the
merest epitome of what may be
written showing the siDfulness of
swearing. In closing word may
we not request every middle-aged
man, every young man and every
boy in Oakland to refrain from
profane swearing, at least upon the
streets and places of public resort,
as at railroad depot, hotels, stores,
etc. Children are naturally imita-
tors, and many hearing a profane
word from one who is a man in
stature and years, will think it
manly to initiate such pernicious
example. Let us all carefully and
prayerfuIly seek to obey the injunc-
ton of the Savior "to swear not at
all"

Lost!

On Wednesday of last week, a
party of ladies and gentlemen star
ted from the Park on pleasure
trip. Madames Hayden and Hook
ing were chosen as chaperones.
They selected point near Swallow
Falls for their picnic grounds.
There were several of the party who
knew Just where Swallow Falls was
located, notably the two chaperones.
Oh, yes! they knew all about it,:
could not be mistaken IN the route.
So did Capt. James Smith, the
driver OF the conveyance which con-
tanned this precious load of merry
makers. They passed through
Oakland about a. M; as the
wheels went rolling along the road
toward their destination they were
too happy to think of anything but
themselves. Presently one more
considerate of their future happl-
ness than the others asked MIR.
Smith if the road did not look a
little unfamiliar to him. Mr.. S.,
looking dazed, acknowledged that
the road did look little strange.
Thereupon a doubt arose in the
minds of the entire party. ooh!
dear, what shall we do" several
exclaimed in concert. ''Surelv we
are on the wrong road At this
point a waytaring man hove in
sight. As he drew near Mr.. Smith
asked him, "Where are we?" "You
are right here by that big stump"
replied the man. "Can you tell us
how far it is to Swallow Fails"
asked one of the excited chaper-
ones. eyes, madam, go back
about two miles, then turn to your
right and go two miles more and
you will see the falls. Why not
continue on your journey; it is but
a short distance to Muddy Falls,
and a delightful place it is, too"
"Muddy Falls! Muddy Falls, Oh!
let us go to Muddy FallsH' they
cried, as if by inspiration they had
been impressed with the beauty and
grandeur of this haven of rest.
"Why, ladies, ! understood you
when you left the Park, that / was
to drive to Muddy Falls" SAID the
willy Capt. Smith. In due time
they arrived at Lake Lewis, where
their hunger was appeased by a
bountiful supply of the necessaries
Of life. After dinner and lunch at
Hotel Saw Mill this happy party
returned home at about 10 p. M,
singing, CLONE Again, Home
Again.

Miss Wheeler recited the piece en-
titled, "The Little Girls Story of
Life" 1t is no easy matter for ID
young lady to impersonate a child.
Miss Wheeler succeeded well in do
ing so.
Mr.. Charles Dawson played his
part in his usual inimitable manner
and deserves the thanks of the So
ciety. The residents of the Park
feel themselves indebted to the
president, Miss Mile Clark, and
all members of tie society for the
many entertainments during the
long winter nights, which not only
served to please, but also to break
the dull monotony of last winter.

brave work the boys" performed

said to-day: About two years ago We
put on the market a brand Of plug
tobacco, and when We figured Il out,
we found we had lost just seven cents a

Battle Ak" however, is superior to

of battle Ak plug tobacco were sold, on
