 We. the committee appointed to make examination of the county poor farm, Douglas. Bisbee and Lowell county fails, respectfully submit our report herewith. On the 18th of November we made an examination of the coun- tv pcor farm and have the following to report: We find that this institu- tion has beer. handled in a remarkab- Iy efficient manner, and that a great deal of credit is due the present phy- sician in charge, pr. Adamson- We find that he has done exceedingly well in handling the expenses in malicious manner and always having in mind the welfare of the inmates ct this institution. We heartily endorse the present management of the farm, and can say that this is an institution of which Cochise county ,uay well be proud.
 We also made examination on this date of the county jail at Douglas. We, the committed, would respectful ly suggest that the fence located on the south side be partly removed, hav- ing about two-thirds of the lumber for other purposes and bringing in the remaining one-third on an even line with the jail, and extending 1t as it now appears. We would suggest in time to have this jail moved to some other part Of the city, as t seems probable that in having the Jail farther from the Mexican border,

Just because man has managed

SIX bits less than nothing, by close
application and saving part OF
eacn days wages, he has gathered
together fortune estimated an the

that the person who could put up a
job to separate this ancient mariner
on life's tempestuous sea from a
large bunile OF the long green. accu-
muaated d6ring long and busy lille.
and get away with it, must be an ex-
traordinary individual
Ii seems, however from Ikes own
testimony taken in the investigation
which is running as serial. that in
an aggregation Of easy marks he
would be entitled 10 the position OF
color bearer
Ike owns up TO having given up
100000 Of good money in order
be allowed the privilege of keeping
his mouth shut In tae United States
senate for six more years
When one Of his loyai and disin-
terested supporters came 10 him re-
questing that he lie up thirty or
forty thousand for campaign expens
es and another disinterested patriot
followed aard Oh the heels Of the
first and requested roll Of Gfty

suppose thar a man OF even less tru-
