the small Office which bears on it's
door the name. Russell Sage" by a
sudden turn of fortunes wheel, finds
himself one of the most powerful fig
ures in Wall street. For, as executor
of the estate of the veteran of puts
and calls he will have the directing
of fortune Of $15O,000,0O0. Mr.. Os-
borne, concerning whom the financier
spoke as his confidential and trusted
assistant, enjoyed the confidence of
Russell Sage from the very first year
he entered his employ. He is now in
his sixty-seventh year, rather slen-
der man of about the average
height. His head is surmounted by an
aureole of snow-white hair and he
wears a mustache, which has also
taken on the frost of age. But his
complexion is ruddy and his eyes
have way of sparkling. None who
knows him ever remembers having
seen him when he did not have a
smile and pleasant word.
He had vacation once. 1t was in
the year 1902, and for a whole week
did not come to the office. Mr. Os-
borne thought the matter over care
fully, and actually took three days.
He worked year in and year out over

To the Grand Jury of the March
term Of 1905 Of the Circuit Court Of
Eyolmes County, Miss We the under
skgned subcommittee appointed to
visit the state farm Belmont and
the county contractors farm operated
by w W. Perry, respectfully report
our inspection of the county farm
shows the prisoners to be in a good
physical condition, and the food then
served them was wholesome and plenti
full and they made. no personal com
plaint to our inquiries
The prison seemed large enough but
the bedding was not as good as should
have been.
We found that two prisoners died
this year Win Williams, in 1906;
and win MCGEE III january 1905, and
that one Olger Durant was killed by
d guard under the direction Of the
manager, while attempting to attack
the guard, and under the circum
stances to us would seem justitiable on
the information we gathered we find
that no inquest was held over any Of
the deaths, nor was this matter re-
ported to the sheriff We think that
the contractor should be required TO re-
port any and all deaths to tho sheriff,
and should hold inquests over the same
We furthermore think that the courts
should have the power to appoint some
person to inspect all magis
trate i books and see that the fines and
sentences are just and not excessive
according to law.
