Before adjourning the recent grand jury in session at Eure- ka Springs unanimously adopt tend the following:
 To the Honorable Circuit Court, Wes. tern District, Carroll County, Ar kansas:~-
 Resolved, That this jury is forced to the conclusion, from personal observation and evi dence before us, that "blind ti- gers' have run wide open in this city for the last year without any attempt to hinder or mo- lest them on the part of the of ficers who had sworn to enforce the law. We learn of no ef. fort by the sheriff. his deputies or the constable to stop this violation of the liquor law. On the contrary, they appear to have been patrons of said "blind tigers" themselves.
 Neither do We learn of the city officers taking any steps to suppress the illegal sale of whiskey or beer, nor to enforce it's ordinances against dram shops or tippling houses, not even on Sundays. Emboldened by what seemed to be the ap proval of those whose duty it isI to stop It, it became no longer a secret where whisky was sold and who engaged in the busi ness.
 While We are attempting 10 enforce the law against the of lenders who violated it every day in the year, we do not pro pose to pass by unnoticed those who made it possible for them 10 do so by neglectiag their duty to enforce the law against them.

him if he ever used it again he would arrest him. The Captiar speaks Spanish quite fuently. That night we camped about one mile and a half from the Port and the city of Ponce. We were in that camp about four weeks. Next we camped outside the old Spanish bar racks, waiting for them to be repaired. We were then guarding 157 Spanish prison CTS. From there we moved out into the country, four miles from Ponce, and were there four or five weeks Then the barracks having been repaired, we moved in them and were there two weeks, when we got orders to come to Adjuntas, a quiet little village out twenty miles in the mountains. We were on the road one day and half. We stopped the first day about two o'clock and camped for the night, you know marching up the mountains is very tiresome. l saw some beautiful scenery on the way. The road winds around the side of the mountains, sometimes the precipice was from three hundred to four hundred feet high, with mountain streams rushing and bounding below. The road was lined on each side with coffee, oranges and bananas.
 We have very nice quarters here, but not so nlce as III Ponce. Still 1 like to stay up here better than in Ponce The people here are of a higher type, not so many drunkards and degraded people. The duty here is nicer than in Ponce, you see we are doing detatched work. The big Spanish plan tation owners come in and gel three or four men and take them out to guard against thieves. They stay ten days at a time, have nothing to dc but eat and sleep, and see that their guns don't get away from them. We are expecting some trouble 10 night. Last Christ. mas night there were about fifty people killed here. The company is apt to be called out. but 1t is past the second watch and nothing has happen ed. We have fourteen prison. CTS now. they have been steal ing coffee, and belong To what is called the Black Hand gang l am going up on hill about two hundred yards from the quarters and get a sack of apples. We gather oranges here like you would apples in the States, and bananas by the bunch.

It was always my desire to see some new tropical country and l have seen it. used to see houses thatched bark and weather boarded with same. 1 have seen many 61 them in Porto Rico.

FROM PORTO RICO.
What a Soldier Saw Tn That
 Country.

4SASos AISSs >~1- W ! Key and family, Elm Springs, Ark. DEAR HOME sFoLKs.- I have answered the last letter I got from you, but as you have asked me several times to write you a descriptive letter of my trip, and the island of Porto Rico, I will now attempt that task.
 First, 1 enlisted in St. Louis, June the sth, under Lieut.. Eames. I was sent that even ing to the Union depot, and started for Fort McPhearson, Georgia, at eight o'clock p. m. We stopped in Nashville, Tenn, about an hour and reach ed Fort McPhearson about nine p. m. the next day. I was there about four weeks, and had quite a jolly time. There were four hundred of us re- cruits started for the regiment which was stationed at "Tampa Heights" I was there assign ed to Go. F, 18th United States Infantry. We were there un til the twenty-tifth of July.
 We were lying in camp, not thinking of moving, when we got orders to move. Our camp was all packed and ready to march in about an hour. We marched down to the depot, took the train for Port Tampa, nine miles away, and reached the Port about nine D. m, and
 
 went atoard the U. s. Trans port Florida. which was an. chored at the dock with many others. We did not start un- til the next day at noon, when we were lowed out into the beautiful bay. There were five companies on board, and you may bet we gave three rousing cheers as we steamed off. "e passed an English steamer which was quarantined in the bay. The occupants gave us three cheers and we returned them.
 The next thing we saw was Key West. Ithere saw my first fortification. It was built of sand in rainbow shape, and contained ten eight inch dis appearing guns, which com handed the entrance to the bay. As the island of Key West faded from view, we all bid farewell to sweet old America. Next we discovered the mountains of Cuba looming up through the morning mists. We sailed around on the south side of Cuba and through the windwaid passage, where we had some very rough seas. We kept about four miles off the coast all the time, but could see the wreck of the Spanish fleet. We next struck the isle of San Domingo. sailed around the south side and stopped in the bay of Semana for about two hours. We in tended to stay all night and wait for orders. but were aroused from our sleep by the battle ship Illinois throwing her search light on us. She gave us orders to move on as fast as we could. We next met a large battle-ship off the northeast coast of Porto Rico. We steamed around to the south side to Ponce, where we landed.
 l cannot pen my feelings as we were marching through the streets of Port Ponce. Il thought I had walked up in the fourteenth century. There were not many natives in the streets, but saw some old fash toned OK carts. The oxen are not worked like they are in the States. the yoke is something similar, but has no bow, in | stead it is thonged to the horns with raw-hide. The natives 1 use no whip, but what is worse 2 pole with a pointed spike in the end. One time I was out in the street where some natives vwoxo ~,rn1 l,r- tl,o:. 1
