GRAND JURY AGAINST BOXING City Fathers Informed the Practice Is Not
 Legal. Supervisor Delany Voices Gen eral Street Comment in
 a Defense.
National Club Men Assert That the August Body Is Mistaken-New
 Jersey Opinion.

Professor Billy Jordan says, "Oh, this makes me weary" his character istic expression when something hard bumps up against the Jordanic fad J. J. Groom and J. D. Gibbs talk sooth- ing syrup and plenty of it. Chairman Delany of the Health and Police Com mittee protests that everything is 'all right" and some people are laboring under strong delusion.
 All this talk is caused by the fact that the Grand Jury has decided that the board should issue no more permits for prize fights. Here is what the Grand Jury says in an address issued to the Supervisors yesterday:
 The Grand Jury has carefully consid- cred the matter of the alleged boxing contests which are of such frequent oc- Currence in this city. and has arrived at the conclusion that such exhibitions have demoralizing influence upon the youth of the community.
 Your honorable board has been author izing test contests under the sanction of an ordinance, No. 1884, which allows in certain cases permits to be issued to so- called athletic clubs for the purpose of matching prize-fghters and distributing to them a given percentage of the re- ceiptS.
 The honorable District Attorney states that these so-called boxing matches are simply disguised prize-hghts, and as such are SQuarely within the prohibition of the Penal Code, and as they are per SC ille- gal you cannot by ordinance legalize that which is intrinsically illegal and forbid den by the Penal Code of the State.
 The Grand Jury believes that 1t Is only necessary to thus call your attention to this matter to induce your honorable board to issue no further permits for this degrading form of sport. Respectfully, for the Grand Jury,
 A. GERBERDING, Foreman.
 ARTHUR F. PRICE, Secretary.
 "The board has never violated the law in this matter" said Delany. We have issued permits for boxing contests pure and simple. No dis guised prize-f1ghts or any other kind have occurred in this city since this board took office. The police are al- ways at the ringside and if a contest develops into fight 1t is their duty to stop it. The public is in favor of these contests, as is shown by the fact that the best and most influential citi- zens of the community are always to be found at them. These contests are not brutal nor degrading, and we claim in common with the best of legal ad- vice that they are not against the law. Until it is shown that they are, no at tention will be paid to the Grand Jury's ukase"
 Messrs. Gibbs and Groom both state that they have never held any contest in violation of the law and are willing to cease their endeavors when it is shown that they are illegal. The con- mon street talk is in favor of this view
 An interesting fact in this connection is a recent decision Of a New Jersey Grand Jury that boxing contests are not a violation of the law. The New Jersey and the California laws are about the same on this subject.

meeting to be held at Sacramento at the end of the month.
 It was said last night by one of the att tending trustees that the selection of Librarian was not discussed at the ses- sion. There was a general exchange of views as to the policy to be pursued should there be any resistance to the ex- ercise of their powers as a board
 It was maintained that the members were elected by the Legislature, as the law requires, and that the board at the proper time should take control of the library. The sentiment was expressed that opposition to their authority would vanish when all the facts were consid- cred. Should the right of the members of the board be questioned in court or by other proceeding they will meet the issue squarely and resolutely. The sentiment of the meeting was that they would ad- minister the affairs of the library.

Beware
OF the Knife.

Mr.. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfeld, Mo-,
writes: "I'or six years | have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands OF my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, ID. C.,
Springfield, H., and ST. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval Of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside deep-rooted Preju-
dice against all patent medicines, be-
gan its use. Before had used one bot
tie the enlargement began TO disappear,
and now il is entirely gone. though am
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had only used your S.S.S. long ago.
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $50"
This experience is like that OF all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts TO the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the c5.-
real Le..sa...,i remedy; it gets at the root OF
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.

well as the banks standing pledged to
the redemption of such notes in gold.
If this proposed plan worked as an
ticipated it would result in the eX-
change of the greenbacks and treasury
notes for national reserve notes and
an issue of an equal amount of bank
notes based on assets. OF greenbacks
there are now said to be some $780,
100000 and of treasury notes some
$104, 100000. But many millions of
the greenbacks counted as still in cir
culation have been destroyed, burnt
up, mislaid and so lost to circulation,
And to lesser degree, lesser because
they haYe not been in circulation SO
long, the same is true of the treasury
notes. For this reason it is not con-
ceivable that the banks could accumu
late and deposit more than $400,000,-
600 Of such notes. This would limit
the issue Of national reserve notes to
$400, 900, 900 and the issue of bank asset
notes to like amount, unless in his
wisdom the secretary of the treasury
should decide that more currency was
needed and remove such limit to the
issue of notes, provision for which re-
moval of limit is made.
1t is proposed to make a further
limit of an elastic nature to the issue
of asset notes by imposing tax of 2
per cent. on bank asset notes issued
by any bank in excess of 90 per cent.
Of its capital and a tax of per cent.
on notes issued In excess of 80 per
cent. In this way it is purposed to
give certain elasticity to the cur
rency. 1t is assumed that if money
became scarce and interest rates rose
the banks would issue more currency,
that as interest rates fell it would be
to their interest to contract. But just
the reverse is more true statement
of the way IL would work,

]. H. Elgin Writes That Marion County
Surpasses ANY County He Has Seen.
BUTLER, Or, April 6, 1898.
EDITOR JoURNAL:-Along the road
from Salem to the agency on the
Grand Ronde Reserve, travelling is
very good. A few road supervisors
have already improved their districts
and the roads are very fine for both
wagons and bicycles. The grain is
all looking we'll and producers are all
hopeful Of at least good crop. The
acreage seems less than common, for
so much fallow pIOughing appears in
sight.
While the beautiful part of Oregon
fills our eyes with admiring wonder,
"Old Marion" with her hills and
dales, and beautiful plains, far sur
passes anything 1 have yet seen.
There is considerable travel on this
coast road; some are coming in, others
going out for supplies. Cattle, hog
and sheep buyers are more plentiful
than on our side or the river and are
paying better prices.
The Indians are seeding more land
than usual, although they are with
out seed of their own. 1t is furnished
principally by Ellis Bros. The In
dians are in good health and are quite
happy. They are contenUed by COM
planning not little of a payment
that has been due them since last
state election. They say this year the
dollar must come first and the ballot
afterwards.
The travelling pensioners and Pelts
furnish the most OF the cash in circu-
lation in these parts. Eggs are quite
plentiful but butter and stock have
entirely disappeared from the country
stores.
