GRAND JURY REPORT.
Roads Reported i'm Good Condition
--New Court House Recommend
ed Administration OF
Schools Commended.

The following report was made
by the grand jury Thursday;
To the Honorable Philip ).
Pugh Judge of the 18th judicial
District Court. Parish Cf Lafay-
cite, La.
Afte a session of three days
and after number OF dlllgent

nance of other duties incumbent
upon it the Grand Jury duly I'M
pannelled for the present term or
this Honorable Court begS leave,
through its undersigned Fore
man. to submit the following re-
port:
As charged us by your Honor
we have made examination or the
following matters:
It's to the knowledge of the
Jury that the public roads
throughout the parish are in a
very good condition, we have
noticed particularly a tendency
on the part of the officers having
this work in charge, to put for
ward the question of drainage
which we commend.
The Jail is clean and kept in
good sanitary condition. From
;ouestions propounded to ano
answered by the prisoners con
) fined therein, we find that they
: are properly cared for and kind

q and at different and closer time

!. most satisfactorily kept. so ais
did we find the records OF tn
Clerks Office properly preserve
and kept in thoroughly complet
and businesslike manner.

the rate of taxation to provide
revenues for the redemption OF
said certificates of indebtedness
at stated periods.
Our inspection Of the Treas
urer's books shows them balanc-
ed to date with the following
amounts on hand.

They also show that they were
examined, checked and found
correct by a committee of the
Police Jury under date of March
7th 1907.
After listening to a lengthy
report by Superintendent l.. }.
Alleman. we find that the admin
istration of this branch OF our
public service merits highest
comm e ndation. From the
figures given us by Mr.. Alleman
we beg to report that the re-
venues from the rental Of the
public school lands were less
than thousand dollars in 1902
and that they are now S3OOO.OO
We find also that there are now
about $500 children attending
the public schools of the parish.
The revenues of the school
board have been and are now
uncertain. and vary from year to
wear according to the condition
of the treasures of our munich
palaties and of the parish. We
believe therefore that tnls
should be changed and that a
fixed number of mills should be
;, set aside for the maintenance
of our public schools. This
would permit the School BOARD
< to adjust it's administration tt
Z fixed revenues, and it is obvious
II that the results would be made
's satisfactory to all concerned.
Following that part of tn
" charge of your honor directing

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take OF it the better; it is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathaItic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the pOsion of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
w HOW CIdI coal. anu olnei NdElllitSS
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
Iozenges. the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of the lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion. sweeter breath and purer
blood. and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking o:
the benefits of charcoal, says. Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal LOzenges to
all patients suffering from gas in
stomach and bowels, and to clear the
complexion and purify the breath.
mouth and throat: l also believe the
liver is greatly benefited by the daily
use of them; they cost but twenty
five cents a box at drug stores, and al
though in some sense a patent prep
aration, yet l believe l get more and
better charcoal I'm Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges than in any of the ordin-
airy charcoal tablets"

WIFE AND HUSBAND
FIGHT FOR A CHILD
The Troubles of MIR. and Mrs. Jack
Whitney Publicly Aired on Strest
and in Court.


There was an exciting episode on
Washington street near First avenue
yesterday morning when Jack Whitney
and his wife met and the wife took
possession of their four-year- old lit
tie girl The wife left the scene and
went to the office of the sheriff, de-
husband told her that he would like to
stick a knife into her.
After that they went to the office Of
the probate court. where Mr.. Whitney
told his story. He said that his wife
had tried to get a divorce from him
in Yavapai county and failed. He had
charge of the child and took it with
him to Roosevelt, where he is engaged
in the reclamation service.
Some time after that his wife came
to Phoenix. and wrote him that sh"
was out of money and clothing and
wanted to see the baby. He sent her
money and she went to Roosevelt.
where she resided for two months.
She then brought the baby to Phoenix
with his consent. and afterward went
to Prescott and left it here. In the
meantime he got word that two checks
had been drawn against his account.
one for $50 and the other for 500. The
first he authorized to be paid and the
latter brought him to town. He found
his baby here and soon after his wife
who had returned from Prescott. Then
the trouble occurred.
The wife said that she was going to
Prescott to take 4 course in business
college. and that she had n brother
there where she was going to finu .
home for herself and the baby. She
went away from the court house with
il. and Whitney lost no time in trying
to gain possession of It legally. Ernest
W. Lewis in his behalf. procured an
Injunction against the removal of the
child from the jurisdiction of the
court and soon after a suit for divorce
was filed by the husband.
AS quickly as possible the papers
were put into the hands Of the sheriff
but up to a late hour last night, the
woman had not been found.
Whitney says that the infatuation Of
the woman for n cowboy in the vicinitT
of Walnut Grove is at the bottom Of
the trouble. Regarding the business
college education he says he offered
to send her to a business college in
Phoenix or Los Angeles.

Lookin out fur burglars when you
