Grand Jury Report.

To the Hon. r. G. Rust, Judge of the
superior court of Amador county. Cal.
We, the grand jury of Amador coun-
ty, impanelled on the 9th day of Decem-
Der, beg leave to submit the following
report:
The first thing We did was to inquire
from the district attorney of any crimi-
nal cases for the grand jury to investi-
gate, but found that all were properly
attended.
We counted the money in the treas
ury, the same being $69S40. 80, which
amount corresponds with the report of
the county auditor.
We have examined as close as pos
sible in such short time. the books in
both the clerks and recorders Office.
also the sheriff's Office, and found them
to be kept 10 the most neat and bust
nesS-llke manner, and all correct,
We found the county hospital kept
in d most creditable condition. The
patients are ffty-eight, and all are sat
isfied OF the treatment of the present
manager.
We also visited the county Jail, and
found it as clean as the place can be
kept, and believe that the sanitary
condition is very good; there are at
present eleven prisoners.
We visited the basement used for
the purpose OF keeping trial juries at
night, and found it entirely inadequate
for the purpose intended.
In regard to the proper protection
and preservation of the county build
ings, which is one of the important.
duties of the supervisors, we urge upon
that body the imperative necessity of
having the court house and hall of
records painted on the outside, as a
means of protecting the valuable prop
erty from further damage by the ele-
ments.
The concrete walks and grass plots
that have been constructed in front of
the court house and hall of records,
under the directions of our sheriff, are
both a benefit and ornament to the
buildings, secured at very small cost.
In conclusion, We give our most sin
cere thanks to the different county Of
ficers for their kindness in giving us
cheerfully, all the information we need
ed in the transaction of our business.

Where the Leak Was.

Once. years ago, when Daniel Web
ster was secretary of state, there was
an important foreign matter up for dis
cussion before the cabinet, and the ut
most secrecy was of course maintain
ed, but the whole thing was blazoned
about in few hours after the cabinet
meeting. So the president hastily sent
for his cabinet to talk over this leak.
Each man had a different idea of it.
Finally Mr.. Webster arose, saying,
'You, gentlemen, go on with your dis
cussion, and I'll be back in minute"
In few minutes he returned and re-
peated every word that had been spo-
ken in the room in his absence. He
explained that if, by standing close to
the door outside the cabinet room, you
held your ear to it, you could not dis
tinguish one ineligible word; but if,
moving back from the door and a little
to one side upon certain spot in the
carpet, you kept an attentive ear, ev-
cry word could be plainly heard as
though whispered.
Some enterprising eavesdropper had
been experimenting with the door and
had found that upon that exact spot
there was some acoustic property of
the door or room that conveyed the
sound in perfect entirety.-Saturday

Marvellous Chicken Legs.
The mechanism of the leg and foe

The mechanism OF the leg and foot OF
a chicken or other bird that roosts on a
limb is marvel Of design. 1t often
seems strange that bird will sit on a
roost and sleep all night without fall
ing off, but the explanation is perfectly
simple. The tendon of the leg of a bird
that roosts is SO arranged that when
the leg is bent at the knee the claws
are bound to contract and thus hold
with sort of death grip the limb
around which they are placed. Put a
chickens feet on your wrist and then
make the bird sit down, and you will
have a practical illustration on your
skin that you will remember for some
time. By this singular arrangement,
seen only in such birds as roost, they
will rest comfortably and never think
Of holding on, for it is impossible for
them to let go till they stand up.-Pres-
byterian.

VOTES AGAINST IMPEACHMENT
North Carolina Senate Finds Accused Jus
tees Not Guilty.

Raleigh, n. c., March 30.-Chief
Justice Furches and Associate Justice
Douglas were found not guilty on each
Of the five articles of impeachment.
The ballots nearly all showed a ma
jority for impeachment, but in no case
was the necessary two-thirds vote
given by the senate.
The trial has cost the state $4,000
and has resulted in serious and per-
manent division in the Democratic
party Twelve Democratic senators
voted against impeachment on the
first article. They represent the best
element Of the party, as we'll as the
most intelligent and the wealthiest
Democrats in the state. If there is
wise leadership in the Republican
party the result will be the building
of white Republican party that will
very soon dominate the state.
There is general satisfaction at the
outcome of the trial and kilograms
have been passing in to Justices
Furches and Douglas congratulating
them. The Democratic machine has
received a knockout blow, and this re-
buke of partisan effort to change the
political complexion of the court will
be of great benefit to the state

Broken Brio a RraCS.
Mr.. Major, the famous cement man OF
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
So. Is pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while large share of the SO call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-fv cents bottle. and when
dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement And this is doubly true in
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr.. Majors ad
vertising, which now amounts to over
5000 month throughout the country

the finish of the Oxford Cambridge
boat race, which was rowed over the
