LATER REPROTs.

Milouna Pass. April 2O.-Morn.ng.-
Active preparations for a general ad-
vance have been in progress since day
break. During the night the Greeks
established themselves on the height
near Ttunavo, opposite the position
which the Turks captured last evening.
Nechal Pasha opened the attack upon
this position this morning with brisk
firing from behind defenses. The COM
batants have not yet come to close
quarters. The Greeks brought up sew
eral pieces of artillery which were
speedily silenced. The Greeks are now
concentrated near Turnavo, whether in
great strength or not is not known
here. Greek reinforcements have been
seen crossing the plains in the direction
of Turnavo. Three Turkish batteries
have arrived from Monasteri.

The grand jury reported Thursday after
noon. Twenty-Five true bills were found
and one not found Their report as to the
county jail is as follows: "The grand jury
within and for the county Of Washington
have examined the county Jail at Montpel-
ier, as required by law, and respectfully re-
port that they find the same we'll kept and
in cleanly condition, and that the prison.
ers are supplied with wholesome food in
sufficient quantity and of good variety and
quality. The grand jury find that on many
occasions the accommodations at the jail
are entirely inadequate for the comfort of
the prisoners confined there. In the male
department there are ten cells, and there
are frequently 80 many prisoners that some
have to sleep in cots in the main living
room of the Jail. This main living room is
itself defective in being insufficiently lighted
and very poorly ventilated. For the women
prisoners there is available in the Jail only
one room, and in that room within the past
year there have been at one time eight
women prisoners. The grand jury respect
fully report that the Jail should be 30 en-
larged by an addition thereto, and 80 re-
paired and so remodeled, that sufficient
room shall be given for separate cells for
each prisoner, and that the prisoners Of
each sex may have separate and comfort

THE EDITORS TALK.

One of the meanest acts OF an
editor is to credit an article or a
clipping to "Ex.'' Better use an
article or clipping as origin al,
than to evade the steal with the
indefinite, meaningless and unre-
liable "Ex."-Shreveport Caucas-
ian.
The Progress is glad to have an
other take up this question which
it conceives to be of so much i'm
portance tc manly journalism. 1t
can not believe that any editor can
WELD the full influence of his nat
ural ability who is so unjust as TIC
appropri ate the writings of anoth'
er, without giving the author cred
