The report Of the Grand Jury was re-
ceived and ordered to be recorded IN
full, viz:
To the District Court, County OF
Brown, State OF Minnesota.
We, the Grand Jury, visited and in
spected the County Jail and found the
building kept in as clean condition as
is possible under the circumstances.
The prisoners confined therein are re-
ceiying the best care possible and the
meals furnished are all of good and
wholesome food. The jail building, that
part where the prisoners are confined, rs
of antique construction, without proper
ventilation and foul air permeates the
cells and corridors. The prisoners are
allowed the freedom of the corridors
from Z a. NJ. to p. M. There is not
the desired separation of cells for male
and female prisoners, the cells for both
being in the same rows.
The female prisoners must be kept
locked up in a solitary cell, the only ray
of light or air being from small win
dow in the outer wall, in order not to
come in contact with the male prisoners
and thereby are deprived of all sanitary
regulations. Ill.,. !
In view of the fact that the present
Jail building cannot be made to answer
the requirements or the county, we re-
commend that the proper officials take
steps for the creation of a fund to be
used in the erection of a new Jail build
ing. 49, ="
The further expenditure of money for
repairing and remodeling the Jail build
ing is waste and should be stopped.
The Courthouse and grounds were found
be kept in good condition. The diff
terent Offices and rooms in thee Court
house are kept clean and look inviting
and we recommend that this neatness be
kept up. 81"

ARTHUR j. BALFOUR.

ulustrious Predecessor.
Han who VIII Govern Great Britain

Nephew Of the Retiring,
Government Chief.

The nephew succeeds the uncle, for
Arthur James Balfour, incoming pre-
mier of England, bears that relation
ship to the marquis of Salisbury, who
goes out cheerfully to resume his
beloved studies of chemistry in the
Laboratories of his great house near
st. Adams.
When Arthur Balfour was at Cam
bridge he got the name of Aunt
Fanny" but he has Lived it down.
There is nothing effeminate in the
character of Arthur Balfour who to-
day steps into one of the first admin
istrative positions in the world.
He was born in Scotland July IS,
1s4S, and is the eldest son of the late
James Maitland Balfour and Lady
Blanche Gascoigne Cecil, sister of the
& present marquis of Salisbury. He
practically began his political life as
private secretary to his uncle when
the marquis was secretary of state for
foreign affairs. One-third of his "a
years have been spent in political serv-
ice, that service finally bringing him
4 into the position of conservative lead
er of the house of commons. Ever
since he was first elected to parlia-
ment in 1874 he has been close to the
person and deep in the counsels of
Lord Salisbury. He is popular in
many sections Of the, empire, and adj
mired where he is not popular.
He was selected for the chief sec
retaryship of Ireland, because "he had
the hardest head, the steadiest nerve,
and the strongest hand,'' for the po-
sition. His self-possession is de-
scribed as ''indomitable and ever Wig
liant" The conservatives hold to him
because he is an "aristocrat to his
finger tips" and that kind of aris7
tocracy is quite popular in England at
the present time.
Scotland has taken especial delight
in honoring this brilliant son of hers.
There is scarce a university in the land
of heather that has not conferred upon

Upon this information, Mr.. Tiffany

Lord Salisbury LOOKS back on po-
litical career of more than half acen-
fury. Il 81
In 1858, when only 90 years old, he
was elected to parliament as member
for Stamford, and represented the
borough for Is years. He took an
active. part in all public measures
which, affected the interests of the
established church and the chief po-
litical questions of the day. In his
younger days Lord Salisbury was a
frequent contributor to the Quarterly
Review and kindred periodicals.
In 1866 he, was appointed secretary
of state for India, which post he re-
signed in 1867 on account of differ
ence of opinion respecting the reform
bill. Two years later he was elected
chancellor of the University of Ok
ford in succession to the late earl of
Derby.
n When Disraeli returned to Office in
1874 Lord Salisbury was appointedsec-
rotary of state for India. These two
great statesmen were the representa-
tives of Great, Britain at he.congress
of Berlin in 1878. On his return the
queen invested Lord Salisbury with
the Order of the Garter.
In 1881, after the death of Lord
Beaconsfield, the marquis became the
leader of the conservative, party in
the house of lords. On January 9,
1885, Mr.. Gladstone was beaten on
budget vote and resigned, and, Lord
Salisbury took office as premier.

country about September l, possibly
before that date.
A committee of entertainment will
be appointed by. the state department
officials, and pains will be taken to
make the crown princes visit an event
of importance. The Siamese minister,
Phya Akharaj Varadhara, has been in
consultation with Secretary Hay as to
the arrangements for the crown
princes reception. The minister was
assured that the reception would be
as cordial and as elaborate as the gov
eminent could make it.
The suggestion has been made that
if the crown prince is pleased with
his visit to the United States his
father, the king of Siam, will then
visit this country.
Soon after congress assembled last
December Senator Frye introduced a
resolution authorizing the president
to formally invite the king to visit the
United States and be the guest of the
nation. 1t was explained that the king
had expressed desire to make q tour
OF. this country. The American min
lister at Bangkok, Mr.. King, in COM
munication suggesting an invitation
to the king, called attention to many
unpleasant episodes attending the
kings visit to Europe, although their
precise character was not made clear,
and saying his majesty would desire
to guard against a repetition of these
unpleasant episodes. Mr.. King in
timated that his majesty would not
make the trip unless he received an
official invitation, as otherwise he
would consider that he was not want
ed.
3 No action was taken by congress
and the king of Siam did not receive
an official invitation to visit the Unit
ed States! He then abandoned the
contemplated journey and announced
that the crown prince would take his
place. 81
Minister King, in describing his
majesty's hesitation about coming to
this country without a formal invi-
tation, said: 4
HE would be very glad to go in q
private capacity for the sake Of the
education it would be to him and his
people, but he naturallyfeels shrink
ing and fear to 60 in such capacity,
especially in view of the grasping po-
sition Uncle Sam is just now described
as assuming

SINGULAR WAR INCIDENT.
why Two Beers Deprived q Nurse Of
Her Horse and Returned 1t
safely to Her.

A curious incident befell an army
nursing sister while out riding alone
in the northern Transvaal, close to a
small town which has been held for
the past year by the English, says the
London Hospital. Two men on horse
back, dressed in what seemed to her
the uniform Of our scouts, rode by.
When they had gone little further,
they dismounted, and, taking their
rifles in their hands, came up. grasped
the reins of her horse, and asked her
if "she would like walk" Surprised
at the question, she inquired to what
regiment they belonged. Their an
swer made her aware that, though
claiming to be British, they were really
Beers in disguise. The men spoke to
each other in Dutch, and then one
said to her: Eve are Beers, and we
want your horse" The sister, greatly
distressed at the thought of losing the
animal, which was borrowed, begged
the men not to take it. They replied
that they were very short Of horses,
and required it badly. Expostulations
proved unavailing; she had to give way
with as good grace as possible, made
easy to her by their extremely polite
manner and the gentle way in which
she was lifted from her saddle. They
left her with the promise that the sad
die and bride should be returned.
Anew days after letter was brought
by Boer to blockhouse to say that
If the English commandant would send
out beyond the British lines, the sis
ter's horse and property would be re-
stored. He did SO, and everything
was found us stated, together with q
letter explaining that the two men
had been compelled to take the horse.
as they thought that the sister sus-
pected their nationality, and they
feared she would ride at once to the
nearest blockhouse and report their
whereabouts. They had, therefore, in or
derto secure their ownsafety, to choose
between taking her with them be-
yond the blockhouses or the confsca-
ton of her horse, and they chose the
latter as being probably less repug-
nant to the sisters feelings. No doubt
the good treatment their own women
have received at the hands of the Brit
ish authorities tends to account for
their friendly and courteous behavior,
but the sister is none the less to be
congratulated upon the result Of All
experience that might have been most
unpleasant.

At the State Farm.

Two hundred and fifty farmers,
some with their wives, from the ex-
treme northern tier of counties, were
at the experiment station in Fargo,
and all were enthusiastic in their APP
probation of the object lessons, in
methods of farming, which it was
their privilege to see demonstrated.
1t is noticed. that this year, the visi-
tors are taking particular interest in
the experiments made with fax, corn
and oats and the best methods for
rotation, to secure and preserve soil
fertility. On the subject of weeds
and their effective eradication the
visitors ask many questions and pay
careful attention to what is told
them. The demonstrations, on this
important subject, are shown to them
by the results which are invincible in
their application.
