The Grand Jury Final Report.

70 the Hon. Don Foster, Judge
of the 10Th judicial District court.
1t becomes our duty to make a
second report to your Honor, and
regret to state that we have found
much to condemn and but little to
comm end. We are informed that
little has been done towards the
improvement of the public roads,
the bad condition of which was
made known in our last report
this fact seems to indicate an in
defensible and a reprehensible
neglect of duty of those who are
empowered by law to attend to
this matter, as there are ample
funds for the repair and the keep
ing of the public roads in credi-
table conditions.
We have succeeded in finding
some violators of the fish law. We
hope when they are forced to en-
dure the penalties of their Often
ses. the people will become more
familiar with the law, and then
there infractions will become
much less frequent hereafter.
Our patent thorough and i'm
partial search for the Sunday law
violators was very successful, as
| the infractions of this law are nu-
merous and widespread. The al
most universal ignoring Of this
law is due more to the long indul-
gence federation of the open in
fringement by the interruptions
few, than to wilful desi re of the
many to disregard the law.
We found the Jail in a cfeanly
condition; but the premises was
not in sanitary condition, as We
inhaled stiffling odors. We found
one Ernest Ledet deprived of hi
liberty on account of insanity; WI

We further recon mend for tn

why Fire Make. Us Blush.


When one stands before hot fire,
the face becomes red, as we all know.
This result is the effect of the action
of radiated heat on the nerves con.
trolling the small blood vessels of the
skin. These tiny vessels aye nc- .---..
IL state Of I0oderate contraction.
Under exposure to heat they relax and
become distended with bloo6 The
same process, under the mysterious
connection of the vasomotor nerve sys-
TEN with mental impressions, produces
ordinary blushing. In regard to ex-
posture to direct heat the reddening of
the skin, together with the uncomfort-
ably warm feeling accompanying it,
may be looked upon as one of the use
full little danger signals" with which
we are surrounded.
Persons who from any cause have
lost their susceptibility, as is the case
in some forms of paralysis, may ex-
pose a limb to heat until serious in
Jury results. The reason that the face
chiefly Pushes is that, in the ordinary
position near a fire, it is most directly
exposed to the rays of heat, while
most of the body is shielded by cloth
ing; that the nerves Of the face are
particularly sensitive in this respect
and that the skin there is more abun-
dainty furnished with blood vessels.

Crop Bulletin.
DIES MONIES July q.

LIES MONIES JULY Il, 19OE.
The week was seasonably warm
with two or three fair days for hav-
ing and harvesting on dry upland.
General rains occurred from l7th to
10th and severe local windstorms
with heavy downpours swept over
extensive areas in the south west,
south east, south central and east
central districts causing damage to
small grain, corn and hay crops
that cannot as yet be estimated.
The most damaging effects were
wrought in section southeast of a
line from Page to Dubuque, but
nearly all parts of the state suffered
some damage from excessive mois-
ture. The worst feature of the crop
situation is noted in the reports
from nearly all districts that the
grain crops are ready to harvest
and the fields are too wet to be en-
tered by the harvesters. Oats are
badly lodged in one-fourth to one
half of the area seeded. Wheat and
oats are generally we'll filled and
the damage by rust is not very great
but the situation is critical and
normal weather is imperatively
needed to save these crops. The re.
ports indicate that corn has suffer
ed least damage and the conditions
of that great staple in well cultivat.
ed fields is still quite promising
Much hay is yet uncut and much
has been spoiled after being cut
Pasturage is bulky but not in prime
condition for stock in flooded region
Apples are badly windfallen in

THE CLUMSY MAN.
You Can Never BE Sure of What Els
Next Break Will Be.

The great virtue about the really
clumsy man is that he never exhausts
his capabilities. When you think that
the bedrock is reached, there is still
lower depth. If detrimental relative
should exist, the clumsy man asks aft
er his health with great particularly
and will not be satisfied until he re-
ceives a full and detailed reply. Should
there be any incident in your past
which everybody has generously agreed
to forget it is the clumsy man who
seizes the one, the inevitable opportu-
nifty, when the club is at its fullest and
says loudly: Somebody was talking
the other day about that unfortunate
little affair of yours in '95. Now tell
me!'
When on meeting him you say casu-
ually and with no desire for informa-
ton, "How are you?" he insists on CIV
ing you complete data, and he is as full
of small complaints as a refractory
pauper. 1t is only fair to add that he
will ask affectionately after the colds
of yesteryear, and his favorite locale
| for this is at the corner of drafty
| street. He might be subsidized by in
tluenza or he might set q commission
| on sore throats froIs his eagerness to
| pin you into the most dangerous posi-
| ton that can be discovered.
| One desires an adequate amount Of
sympathy in distress, but our man al
ways goes little beyond this point.
You are growing thin, and he says that
| you are wasting away to shadow.
You are growing stout, and he tells an
unamusing anecdote about apoplexy.
| He can be more critical than hair
dresser if occasion gives the least ex-
cuse.-Philadelph Ledger.

GETTING AWAY FROM HOME
The Spirit of Rest1essness and the
Desire For Change.

the Sp1rlt OF heStleSSneSS ana the
Desire For Change.
Judging by a good deal of the con-
versation. of the present day, there are
a large number of people who have
positive horror of home. This curious
revulsion of feeling is taken by many
ton. For our own part we find it diff
cult to take it quite seriously or to see
in it anything more than a passing
whim.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony.
Change is what people desire-not per-
haps any great change, but lots Of
small change; not necessarily for the
better, but for its own sake. Now,
there is a great sayneness about ones
own four walls, be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times an overpow
ering desire to look at something else
We cannot change the patterns or the
pictures on them every day, and neither
they nor the home furniture ever seems
to alter in expression.
Again, there is a terrible sameness
about ones own cook. Experience ena-
bles us to foretell the taste of every
thing at home, from the soup to the sa-
worry If we are rich and from the NUT
ton to the cheese If we are poor;
whereas if we dine at a restaurant
everything down to the salt is differ
ent and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.
Then, again, the music and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation, and conversation
in the home circle is sometimes diff
cult and sometimes dull. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks, it
is such bad practice for dining out,
and, this being the case, it is not easy
sometimes to think what to say.
Nowadays we get, socially speaking,
tired of our friends and even of our ac-
quaintances. We want them to pass
continually before us like street pro-
cession. Instead Of that they rather
resemble stage crowd and keep COM
ing up again. There is limit to those
we know, limit even to those we
should like or should be likely to know
even by sight, and at a restaurant this
latter limit is disregarded. The barrier
| of good manners which forbids that
| those who are acquainted with one an
| other should speak is sufficient to pro
tect our station or our dignity, but il
is not very high fence, and it is one
which it is amusing to look overflow

A UNIQUE DoRMlToRY.
One That Is Owned by the University
of the south.

of the South.
Dean Hoffman was noted for char
table impulses. which his large income
allowed him to indulge in. Some years
ago the dean invested heavily in land
in small southern town which was
then enjoying "boom" period. Among
the deans other investments was a
beautiful little hotel, exquisitely ap-
pointed and perfect in every detail.
After awhile the "boom" fell through,
and the little hotel became losing in
vestment.
At this time the chancellor of the
University of the South, an old friend
Of Dean Hoffman, was on a hunting
trip with him in the mountains of
North Carolina.

down at Suwanee," said the chancel-
lor.

The chancellor was greatly pleased
and made all the arrangements to
move the hotel, when, to his astonish-
ment, the citizens Of the town obtained
an injunction against its removal on
the grounds that the hotel in q way
was public property and that to re-
move it would leave the town without
any hotel accommodations. A legal
fight followed, but the university won
out in the end. So the University Of

The Boy ana the Farm.

How often we hear parents discour-
age the boys who wish to stay on the
farm! They refer to farm work as
drudgery and that which tends to make
them slaves to work rather than indie
pendent men. The biggest boys are
educated for professional men and in
many instances excel, but the vast ma
jority Of these, with good practical
education such as can be gained in our
schools of agriculture, would become
wealthy, progressive farmers, with fine
farms and beautiful homes, If they had
been encouraged and advised to stay
by the old farm and make it success.
