pledged themselves that they would do all in their power to suppress and keep down same ill future, and we suggest that Your Honor especially charge the officers. whose duty 1t is, Ito see that the same is suppressed. land We trust that they will be able to do so.
 Thanking all the officers for the courtesy and kindness shown us, we thereby submit above as our report land beg leave to be discharged. w. H, Langford, Foreman Tie County Farm. w. Il. Langford, ]. E. Clement and Morris Swartz, the special committee who inspected the county farm. makes l the following report:
 We, the undersigned, members of l the committee appointed by your fore man to visit and inspect the Jeffer- son County conyicts on the farm of hI kansas, beg to report as follows: We visited the farm on the 4th, 5th and 9th days of November, and made a thorough and complete inspection of the stockades, bedding. hospital and everything connected with the working of the conyicts from Jeifer- son county. We also inspected each and every convict pointed out to us as having been sent from Jefferson county to said farm.
 In a general way, we find that Con- tractor Auburn takes every precau- ton to protect the health and physi- cal comfort of the convicts. They are fed we'll, clothed well and worked regular hours.
 We only found one criticism to make and that is the hospital stockades in the department for men, as we'll as in the department for women, are not as complete as they should be. In this particular we called the especial attention of Contractor Auburn tC these matters and he assured us that he will remedy them at once.
 We found several of the convicts suffering from chronic diseases, but the physician in charge seemed to be giving them every attention in his power.

 The building Is so constructed tha the infirm and old would be ill a yer dangerous situation should fire breal out below, as the stairs are marrow and long, There should be a wa, constructed for those in the uppc part of the house to reach the ground from the outside of the building.
 We know the poor house should not be attractive, but if those land owned by the county were sold ant the proceeds used in securing loca tion inside the water and sewer dis trict and a suitable building pu thereon, the change would be bene ficial.
 Those sent to the poor house us lually go in a very dirty and unsani Itary condition and with no bath tub and abundance of water convenient it is quite difficult to put them il shape to be cared for.
