Sensational Report.

The most sensational report rem
dered by q Mississippi grand jury
in years was the one made at the
close of the Oktibbeha Circuit Court
last week. The document averred
the Jail to be in such bad condition
as to be obnoxious to prisoners and
detrimental to their health. The
inmates of the poor house. it
declared, were not supplied with
sufficient food, but exonerated the
the keeper by saying the premises
were kept clean and unfortunates
otherwise well treated The sin then
lies at the door Of the board Of
supervisors who failed to provide
sufficient food to stay the pangs of
hunger in these unfortunates, 1t
may be economy to starve the help
less, but it is not charity, law, nor
the wish of civilized people. The
most sensational feature of the re-
port dealt with organized lawless-
ness that exists in the western sec
ton of that county. According to
its statements, a band of white men
and boys are organized to gamble
and sell whiskey in defiance of law.
The members of this band are
sworn to withhold information OF
crimes perpetrated and to resort to
perjury, if necessary, to shield their
allies. Further, they threaten
with death, any one who give
testimony against them, and have
so far intimidated the law abiding
element of their section that they
withheld information from the
grand jury that was competent to
indict. With such a state of law
lessness existing in Mississippi,
there are some who contend that a
law enforcement league is not nee
essary, and that the officers are
competent To enforce order.
Such statements are negatived
by the very existence of things in
Oktibbeha county, else the grand
jury, who are to be commended
for honesty in their report, would
have brought the lawless band to
justice.
In some sections of the State a
law enforcement league is not nee
essary. In others it Is. and no
section would be the more lawless
because it had one.

to the Hollingsworth resolution in
Weighing against jefferson Davis

The eases of blood and carnage,
in which married men or married

as Transporting in Mississippi within
the past several weeks is enough to
mark this States record high in the

always occurred but there seems to
be an epidemic just now.

ROOT JUICE AT OsBOr MES
DRUG STORE
A Continual Stream OF Evil
dence Flowing In From
Every Directions SAT-
urday the Last Day
of the Root Juice
Demonstration

If one can judge by the con-
tinual stream of evidence that
is flowing in from every direc-
ton, the Root Juice demonstra-
ton at Osbornes drug store,
has proved a great blessing to
scores of people of Mo Valley
and surrounding country. Many
that have suffered a long time
with some trouble of the stom-
ach, bowels, liver, kidneys or
nerves, are now claiming entire
freedom from all aches and
pains. Among the many re-
cent callers at Osborne's drug
store, to tell of wonderful good
received from a short use of
Root Juice was a gentleman
who SAID that Root Juice had
almost performed a miracle in
his case: II, before using the
remedy, was weak and nervous.
My appetite was poor and di-
gestion was so bad that the
lightest foods would sour on
my stomach, causing a forma-
ton against my heart and al
most cause it to stop beating
at times, but after taking the
juice a short while, my appe-
tite is good, my nerves are set
tied, and | digest everything l
eat without a single disagree
able symptom" So many To-
cal people are praising the
great remedy that its rapid
sale at Osborne's store is no
longer a surprise.
We are told that the demon
stration at this point closes
Saturday night. Until then
the Root Juice is sold for 81 a
bottle or three for $3.50.

Letter from o. Nj. Harris
CIarinda, Iowa, Aug. 18th
Mo Valley Times:

NaS 1iiSS L liliCS.
Well here we are, sound
and we'll, after our journey
from the Valley to this place.
We reached Co Bluffs just in
time to get the morning train
South, having to make changes
at this place, Pacific juno
tion and again at Vilisca max
ing three roads to reach Clarin-
da. Our route extended thru
the South part Of Harrison
county, through Pottawattamie
Mills, Montgomery and Page,
five of the best counties in Iowa
This section Of the State is
composed of broad bottom land,
rolling prairie, undulating hills
possessing some of the finest
farms in the state, and the
crops, with the exception of
very low land that was effected
by the early wet spring and
early summer) presented a high
state of cultivation, and having
good standing corn with the
small grain in shock in fields all
indicating an abundant yield.
This seemed to be the days of
Chautauqua gathering, having
che in full blast at Red Oak
and another at this place, and
every train was crowded to
their fullest capacity, and some
even more, and the crowded
condition of the cars demon
strated that many two legged
hogs travel on passenger cars
instead of by freight. The car
we took from Red Oak, was
simply jammed; one lady or
rather hog, spread herself out
over an entire seat, and when
asked if she could divide the
seat, with another, she said:
where can | put my feet?" 1t
is our opinion that any woman
with such large feet that it
takes a whole seat for her and
feet, ought to stay at home, or
if she must go, ought to go in
a cart. 1t is very strange in
this enlightened day to find
any person so void of common
courtesy as to be willing in a
crowded car, to monopolize a
whole seat while her sister is
compelled to stand. But a hog
is a hog either on car or in par
Tor. The Odd Fellows will have
we hope a delightful day, and
we regret our inability to be
with them, but done mention
lit, and perhaps they will not
miss US This is the last day
oi the ClArinda Chautauqua,
and q very large number Of
campers and visitors; are en-
the ground, but space and time
is wanting to further write at
this time. ID. M. II.
Remember the Chautauqua
commences Saturday Aug. Dist
Make yoar arrangements to at
tend.
W. E. Grigsby who is visiting
relatives in Detroit, and Mime
sofa wrote to Mayor Amen this
morning to send him his shot
gun as says the prairie chickens
are plenty up in that country.
Think of a man 50 years Old
tramplng over the country a
day like this hunting prairie
chickens. 1t is enough to
make a young man ashamed of
himself when he complains of
the heat.
