Yuma, Arizona, Oct. 1st, 1901. To the Hon. Foreman of the Grand Jury, ". w. Woodman:
 We, the committee appointed to ex- anime into the condition of sheriff's office and county jail, beg leave to state that we find that records in said sher- ifs office are kept in systematic and proper manner; and that in so far as we examined them, without the aid of an expert, we find them to be correct. We examined, also, the county jail, and find that said jail is sadly in need of repair. The roof overhead is in need of more and better cover. In some places daylight can be seen through the holes in said roof.
 The jail needs thorough cleaning by way of white-washing, etc. The court house also needs repairing by way of replastering the interior court and painting of the woodwork in- side of offices as well as outside of the building. The fire places in said build ing should be repaired by replastering and brick floor.
 We respectfully recommend that the board of supervisors shall be requested to take steps toward the carrying into effect of these much needed repairs.

he WASN'T nenorted

Shortly after the Chinese exclusion
act was passed the secretary of state
received a letter from Pennsylvania,
signed by a Chinaman. The writer
said that he had been interested in
this legislation and that he fell within
the conditions of this act. He had
come to this country under false pre-
lenses, and hence he should be deport-
ed Immediately. The request was so
strange that the secretary of state or
dered an investigation. The agent re-
ported few days later that the Chi
naman's statement about the way in
which he entered this country was cor
rect and that he should be deported.
There was just one drawback to this
programme, however. The Chinaman
had been convicted of murder and SEN
fenced TO life Imprisonment.

forth with two purposes, first to tell
what happens for his paper and after

lives of the men who went to the front

One of the Largest Collections In the World
Belongs to Uncle Sam.
ST. Nicholas Magazine brings to
light the fact that Uncle Sam has
one of the largest collections of TOYS
in the world. He keeps them in the
National museum at Washington,
where they may be seen by hundreds,
nicely arranged and labeled, in the
exhibition hall. But on the balcony
in the west end of the big building
is the real Santa Claus shop. Like
the spiders parlor in the nursery
song, the way TO this wonderland is
up n winding stair.
On each side Of the long balcony,

of tall pine cases fitted with drawers
in which are stored toys and games
from all parts of the world To be
sure these drawers contain many
other interesting objects besides,

Everything relating to ethnology is
sorted and cataloged for exhibition.
Ethnology is the science which tells
us OF human races in their progress
from savagery to civiliZation-how
people in all parts of the world live,
of the things they use in everyday
life and how they use them.
The toys and games in Uncle Sans
collection have been gathered, by his
agents, from every known country.
Many of them are rare and costly,
and beautifully made; but the most
interesting and unusual are the pro-
ducts of uncivilized hands. Some
are gorgeously colored and decorated
with beads and shells. while others
are grimy and pitifully mean; but
they have each brought their meas
ure of joy TO some childish heart,
somewhere.

being struck with the cleanliness OF

The duke, feeling interested, stopped
his carriage and opened the door to
the lad. saying he could ride to the
park with him.
The delighted lad, being in ignorance
of whom he was, kept his grace inter-
ested with quaint remarks till the park
gates were reached.
AS the carriage entered 1t was salut-
ed by the company and guns, where
upon his grace said to the lad:
NOW, can you show me where the

The lad eyed his person all over,

A Colossal ENTERPRISE.
Seven Mile Tunnel to Obviate Fa-
NOUS Horseshoe Curve.

Seven Mile Tunnel to Obvtafe IA
NOUS Horseshoe Curve.
The most colossal enterprise yet I'M
dertaken in modern American railroad
ing is to sacrifice the great horseshoe
curve of the Pennsylvania Railway
company on its main line along the Al
leghany mountains five miles west of
Altoona, Pa. says a dispatch from that
place, by constructing an underground
tunnel seven miles in length.
1t will only be surpassed in distance
by the famous st. Gothard hole be-
tween the Alps in Switzerland. The
tunnel will begin at point few rods
below the curve and come out of the
mountain a short distance beyond
Cresson, a summer resort. The length
would approximate seven miles. The
distance between Kittanning point.
where the curve is located. and Cres-
son over the present line is about ten
miles. The tunnel viii save at least
three minutes, to say nothing of the
steep grades and sharp curves to be
eliminated.
1t is expected the cost will run into
the millions. For years it has been
said that the horseshoe curve would
have to be abandoned on account of
the growing demands for q shorter and
less precipitate line for faster travel
between the east and the west. but it
was presumed a fill would be made SO
that the road might cross the gorge be-
low the two big reservoirs there which
supply Altoona with water.

singular Express Consignment.

The most singular consignment by
express in the history of the American
Express company passed through Ter
re Haute, Ind, over the Big -Four
railroad. 1t consisted of two CARROTS
of brick from st. Louis to Augusta,
Me-, being consigned to Governor Hill
of Maine. The charges on one ca
were $T00 and on the other 81 ,22J.
making an aggregate express bill OF
$1,925. The aggregate weight was
5000 pounds. The emergency which
forced the shipment by express was
that n contractor doing some work
for the governor was in need of a GER
tain kind of brick specified in the con-
tract and was unable to secure thep
at Il market nearer than st. Louis.
The specified time in which the con-
tractor is to complete the work made
il dangerous for the contractor to take
the chances of delay incident to such
long shipments by freight.
