Suppress The Firecrackers.

the experiences of last Fourth of July fresh in
memory the public is beginning to wonder whether the
city council is this year going to permit similar ebulli
part small boy the occasion Of Inde
pendence Day, but a few weeks off.
THE RECORD would not, by any means, put curb up
legitimate demonstrations of enthusiasm
the Fourth of July which of the most glorious
anniversaries in the calendar of human history.
There are, however, lengths to which individuals
should be allowed to CO. in commemoration Of
national birthday, within the city limits they
a menace the general welfare.
We refer the cracker, torpedoes and other
dan gerous noise provoking Inventions most Of which
are dangerous alike life and property and ought be-
ruled of in the interest of public safety.
Last year al people slightly injured by
expected explosions of fire crackers while passing along
the streets cariessly thrown upon the pavemens by
overzealous celebrants.
That there were not half dozen disasterous run
aways on Main street is almost miracle.
One OF the spended Sl75. plate glass windows
front Of the Bethel companys place of business
broken by the of cracker last and other
damage say nothing Of the imperlling of proper
ty to fire.
The members OF the city council directly inter-
ested matter and should it that the public
is protected from harm against exhuberance when
Independence Day comes round.

Judge Hershel N. Hogg has been nominated for con-
gress by the Republicans of the second district.
This is the third nomination the Judge has received
of his party The first Tins in 1900 he
defeated along with all the of the Republican ticket
In 1902 he was elected and this fall he stands
cellent show Of reelection
Judge Hogg is a typical Western congressman. He
looks his part we'll Put him with hundred other men
and stranger looking for the congressman would pick
out Mr. Hogg every time.
Mr.. Hogg is a good mixer and he has made reputa-
ton with drol humor at the National capital He is
good story teller and fails to entertain when he

His winning ways perhaps has had as much to do
with his success in congress his real ability Both

for reelection And he Of the best campaign

Taft of a New Train.

From d. N. Garret, local agent OF the
Santa Fe road, it is learned that there
is considerable talk among tn, officials
of that company about putting on an
additional passenger train between this
city and Pueblo. The matter has been
strongly recommended by the division
superintendent and trainmaster and
there is reason to believe the PROPOSE
tion will be carried into effect, although
decision will not be announced until
the return OF those officials from
Topeka, Kansas, where they are at
present assisting in the arrangement Of
a new time schedule for the Santa Fe
system. The proposed new train would
give Canon people an excellent SER
vice to Pueblo and would enable them
to make connections in that city for
Colorado Springs and Denver, which is
impossible under existing arrangement
Of things.

 We further recommend that . separate jail be provided for city prisoners and other prisoners when they are first incaroerated and un- til their personal conduct and cleanliness can be provided for. As it now is prisoners in all stages of drunkenness and filth must be confined with the prisoners already in jail to the detriment of their health We find the prisoners satisfied in every instance with the treatment they receive.
 Outside of the conditions above stated we find the Sheriff's office and jail in frst-class condition and the books and reports apparently correct,

Report of Committee on office of County Treasurer;
 To the Grand Jury:
 We, your committee, appointed to examine into and report upon the condition of the County Treas ury of Santa Cruz County, beg leave to submit our report as fol- lows: We find that on January lst., 1904, there was in the Treas ury funds belonging to the county to the amount of $46,7S6.5S. Since that time there has been paid out by the Treasurer on warrants. above receipts of the office, since that time, the sum of 39,115.89, leaving a balance which should be on hand at the present time Of S10,670.69.
 We find that all demands of the Treasury have been promptly met when presented for payment, and the Treasurer states that he can and will meet all demands as they are presented. The failure of the In ternational Bank in which was de- posted the county money shows the reason why the said amount of S10,5T0.69 is not actually in the Treasury in cash. But your com mittee believes that the Treasurer has sufficient securities in his hands to protect the County against loss.

Whole No. 5oo.

We found the office of Probate Judge to be conducted, as we see it, according to the requirements ot the Territorial Statutes and the books pertaining thereto kept neatly, legibly and correctly. The records of the office pertain ing to the duties of the County Superintendent of Schools are also neatly and properly kept. The system of keeping these records we found especially commendable, be- ing both complete and simple, so that one with limited time may arrive at satisfactory knowledge of the financial condition of each and every school district in the County readily.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Territorial Statutes give to Justice of the Peace powers com pared with which the prerogatives of q Czar are restricted, we ex~ examined the office of Justice s. Ashly. We found the records of the office kept in neat and legi- ble manner However, we would suggest that the Justice of the Peace keep more full and com plete account and record of the cases that come before him and also of the money that passes through his hands.
 We find that in the course of the business of the office a considerable quantity of firearms comes into his possession. While these are arti- cles of conhscation there seems to be no system of keeping . record of and the manner of disposing of the same. The fact that the Justice of the Peace nas been instructed by the Board of Supervisors to dis pose of all firearms as he sees fit, seems 10 De sufficient, and there does not seems to be any sugges- ton by them for keeping a proper record of such transactions.
 Me recommend that Justices of the Peace throughout the County stop. in so far as lies in their power, the mileage abuses growing out of petty cases brought before them We also would discourage what seems to be the practice of some Justices of sending to the Grand Jury cases which, to say the least, amount to nothing more than misdemeanors.

GRAND JURY REPORT
interesting So Far as 1t Goes; bat
 Long Way Short of the Mark

Monday evening the grand jury filed the following report, which Is q partial resume of it's delibera- tions:
 Nogales, Arizona, Aug. 29. l094. To Hon. George R. Davis, Judge of
 the District Court of the First
 Judicial District, in and for
 Santa Cruz County, Arizona. Sir.
 We, the Grand Jury, duly em- paneIIed and sworn at the June term of said District Court, beg leave to submit our final report as follows:
 We have examined great num- her Of cases submitted to our att tention and have returned true bills as follows
 Embezzlement l3, murder 2, as- sault to commit murder |, grand larceny l, burglary 2, concurring in publishing false statements Of corporation 2, falsifying books of corporation 1 total 22
 We have ignored two charges of assault to commit murder, one charge of murder, one of arson, two af perjury, and A nun Der of charges against L. H. Rhuart, growing out of the failure Of the International Bank in Nogales.
 A number of committes were ap-. pointed to investigate the several county offices and officers, and the reports of said committees are hereto attached and made j part of thiS report. Your Grand Jury respectfully recommends that the Board of Supervisors Of Santa Cruz county proceed according to law to collect the shortage now ex- isting in the County Treasury caused by the failure of the Inter- national Bank, and that the Treas urer he required to give . bond as provided by law for the safe keep ing of future county money in trusted to his. care.
 In the matter of q contract let by the Board of Supervisors to one <. $. Noon for the removal of loose earth in front of the Court House, the Grand Jury finds that the con- tract price was exorhitant. We also find that the contractor there n was acting only on behalf of others and in their employ, and We wish to censure the real bene- ticiaries under said contract for their action therein, and We desire to recommend that the Board of Supervisors exercise greater husi- ness ability in future cases of the klnd The county officers are re- commended to abate the nuisance arising from the depositing of dead annals, garbage, etc, in public highways and other places to the serious detriment of many families ilVIng near thereunto.

Report of Committee on Office of Supervisors and County Recorder. To the Foreman of the Grand
 Jury
 In the opinion Of your commit tee the bond of George E. Marsh, Treasurer of the County, is not sufficient. and consideration of the fact that in the next four months. he. as such Treasurer, will handle a large amount of county money, we recommend that the Board of Supervisors cause the said Treas urer to strengthen his bond
 We also recommend that the Board of Supervisors stet require the County Surveyor to strengtl en. his bond as such County Surveyor.
 We your committee, also find that the contract for grading the Court House lot in the first place was Ninteen Hundred and sixty three Dollars and ten cents ($1963 1O) cash, and that the con- tract of A. \. Noon for removing the dirt from iii front of the Court House was let to the said A. 5. Noon by the Board of Supervisors for the sum Of Seventeen Hundred Dollars and eighty-tive cents scrip. Therefore, in the opinion of your committee, after comparing the two pieces Of work, we think the latter contract exorbitant, and we further recommend that the said last contract be investigated by this Grand Jury.
 We find that Charles K. Perkins was hired by the County to lay sewer pipe to the new cess pool in the arroyo near Peck's livery's stable, and we also find that the said Charles k. Perkins presented de- mand for S203. of which $155 was for labor and material, and as he did not produce vouchers from the partles who performed the laDor and furnished the material, we feel that the Board of Supervisors should not have audited the de- mand in the loose manner in which it was presented to them and we recommend that this matter be in- vestigated
 We find the Recorders office in good shape, the records neatly and properly kept and the office self sustaining inasmuch as the fees for recording instruments, required by law to be recorded, pay the run ming expenses of the office includ- ing the Recorders salary and what help the Supervisors allow the said Recorder.

himself and will make a formal
declaration on the subject should it
become necessary. The mayor, how
