Gran! Jury Report.

JuuSc VI Il6 IOll JuuICldl ClIOul'
of Arkansas:
We, the grand jury for the
Southern District of Sharp coun-
ty, would respectfully submit the
following as our final report, to-
wit:
We have examined the jail for
the Southern District of Sharp
county, and find the same to be
in reasonably good condition,
and no prisoners confined therein
at the present time.
We have examined the poor
farm of Sharp county, and find
the buildings on the same to be
in bad condition, but learn from
the Lessee that arrangements have
been made by the County Court
for the necessary repairs to the
same. We questioned the in
mates and they reported that
they received from the present
Lessee a sufficient quantity of food
of the varieties furnished, but
claimed that a sufficient variety
was not furnished, especially
flour bread. They also claimed
that their clothing and bed cloth
ing were insufficient to keep them
comfortable.
We found the sanitary con-
dition of the establishment 10 be
good, except the room occupied
by Frank Crawford, whose bed
and clothing are in a very filthy
condition.
The inmates, except Frank
Crawford, claimed that they had
received sufficient medical atten-
ton from the former and present
lesees since the August term,
1899, of the Circuit Court, and in
our opinion, said Crawford has
not received proper medical
treatment from the former or
present lesees, he having fallen
into fire about the 10th of De-
cember, 1899, and received in
juries from which he is yet Sc
verely suffering. The inmates
also claimed that the former
Lessee, George Johnson, had failed
to provide them with a sufficient
quantity of food and clothing
and had treated them in harsh
and brutal manner, by beating
and otherwise mistreating them
during the period from August
term, 1899, of the Circuit Court
until the expiration of his lease
We would, therefore, recommend
that the County Judge see that
sufficient beds and bed clothing
be furnished the inmates of said
poor house to keep them COM
Portable, and that the County
Judge see that the inmates are
treated in a humane manner, and
furnished proper and suitable
food and clothing and the neces-
sary medical attention.
We have examined the reports
of the Justices of the Peace Of
the Southern District Of Sharp
county, and find that they have
all filed their reports as required
by law, except j. A. Howerton,
VIM. Mcleod and Warren Shir-
ley,
We have examined the reports
of the road overseers Of the
Southern District Of Sharp coun-
ty, and find that they have all
filed their reports as required by
law, except Tavid Norman, G,
M. Russ, Joe Qualls and Sam
Craig, and some others, who we
are informed have moved from
their respective road districts,
Most of said overseers report
that they have worked their
roads and that they are in reas-
onably good condition,

foreign designs.
The activity Of the Chinese military authori-

The American Bible Society has received a let
ter from its agent in China. the Rev. Dr.. John R.
Hykes dated Shanghai. July 2. He says:
There has been a strong undercurrent Of feeling
in Shanghai for the last fortnight Probably fifty
thousand people have left the city. Every steamer
for the south crowded to its fullest capacity.
Extra boats had TO be put on to accommodate the
boats for Soo-Chow and other cities the Grand
Canal. For boat which could be hired in ord-
nary times for sS as much as SIS was demanded
and received. The officials, both native and for
eign have tried 10 stampede, but they have been
only partially successful. Two weeks ago were
practically without protection, except such We
could give with our local volunteer force. Now we
have eleven nen-of-war in the river, and more are
expected. I GO not like this panic among
the natives, for among a stohd people like the
Chinese il Is not wItAout good cause. There are
simply overrun with Buddhist priests. These were
the forerunners Of the Boxers in the north and We
