HOSPITAL NOT LARGE
 ENOUGH FOR DEMANDS

Hillman Hospital-We visited this insti- tuition and found it. like our other public buildings inadequate to meet the de- mands of our growing county. The gem cral care, order and condition of the hos pital we find good, with the exception or the basement or ground floor wherein there is room for vast improvement. This especially applies to the provision for in- cineration of the refuse of the hospital and to the sleeping quarters of the col cred employees.
 The gross monthly cost of operation ranges from S1500 to $17.000, practically $20 ner month per patient. We find that the present capacity is for 75 patients, and that every bed during the past year has been regularly occupied, and that many worthy and needy patients are daily being turned away. we ma that there ic no provision made for the care of con- taglous or infectious diseases, the latter class being sent to the almshouse.
 rhera is not sufficient provision for living in' rooms. either for white or colored There is now one small room used for colored women, and the nurses room is used for white cases; and some times three beds are placed in this one room which is only intended to contain one.
 A great deficiency is the lack of a chill drens ward no separate provision is made for children. and beds for those who are taken in are kept on the porch during the day and at night are moved into the already overcrowded women's ward. It Is quite evident to this body that there is an urgent need for an ad- d!tional wing which can be built (so we are informed) at a cost of approximately aDA ot,1 6n 1nt county could spend the money in a more

The most sensational report for sev- rendered yesterday morning by the grand jury of the criminal court. Fol loving Judge Frank Cahalan's charge at the beginning of the term. 1t touched upon all forms of lawbreaking under it's Jurisdiction, and called attention to many reforms that might be adopted with profit in Jefferson county.
 The full report was read by Clerk D. U. Williams of the criminal court soon after court convened yesterday morning, and was received by Judge Cahalap. With it about 35 indictments were returned. but none of them was made public.
 There were many rumors on the streets during the afternoon as to the names of the men indicted. The in- dictments, however, are turned over by the clerk of the criminal court to the sheriff and the law prohibits the names until capiases have been served on them. sa It was announced at the sheriff s office last night that none of those in- dicted would be served with papers until this morning.
 The only reference to the indictments in the report of the grand jury is a statement that the grand jury has evil dence leading it to conclude that A. A. Gambill, assistant back tax commis- sioner. approached a number of people and urged them not to assess their property to the tax assessor, but to let it go by default to be assessed by the back tax collector in the spring. k. D. Burnett is also mentioned in this con nection.
 Fraudulent Voting
 Alleged fraudulent voting in the recent local option election was looked into by the grand jury. and it is sub mitted that approximately $50 voters cast ballots in precincts other than those in which they were qualified. It was found that 9493 voters in the list of 24,502 :eg- istered voters, were disqualified. A pain full ignorance says the grand Jury, ex- ists in the minds of the voters in re- gard to the effect of the life certificates issued in 1902. The system of the pro- bate judge in keeping a record of the voters is commended. While the law governing registration of voters Is as q whole good, it is remarked that there is yet much room for improvement.
 The fee system comes in for its share of condemnation at the hands of the inuuisitorial body, it being denounced as in principle iniquitous.
 Jutice of Peace System
 The justce of the peace system i.; de- clared, as operated in this county, a dis grace to civilization, with a recommen- dation that comprehensive system of inferior courts with greater Jurisdiction in misdemeanor cases than is now pos sessed, be created.
 Attention is called to the condition or the county jail and the courthouse. It is stated that the manner in which the iail is kept is the best possible under the circumstances. but that the court house is, in their opinion, in less sani- tary and cleanly condition than the jail The need of new courthouse in keep ing with the growth of population in the county is pointed out.

INADEQUATE
 FOR THE COUNTIES NEEDS


 Courthouse-The present courthouse,
 built over 20 years ago, when this county
 had population of only about 5000, as
 compared with present population or 226O00, we consider inadequate for pres ent needs. We either need an entirely
 rev building or an immediate remodeling and addition to the present one, Tor at this time nearly all the records In every office are altogether unprotected, and the loss in case of fire would be too appalling to contemplate and irretrievable to the citizens of the county.
 The question of fire loss is no imaginary one, for in our opinion the present bulld- ing is a veritable firetrap. No vaults
 are provided for the preservation of any records. and at this time many valuable
 books, documents and records are dumped
 indiso2imnately into the attic By all
 means we earnestly recommend that 1m-
 mediate ara. -gements be made for the
 construction of storage vaults for the
 preservation of records.
 The sanitary condition of this building
 is in deplorable condition. The lava tories in the basemnet are not suitable for the use of clVlllZed community, and are malodorous to the extent that
 trey are objectionable to the entire build ing. Some of the stairway landing and
 corners of corridors are regularly used as a repository for mops, brooms, scrub rags. buckets and other cleaning devices,
 presenting an unsightly and insanitary condition.
 We appreciate the fact that during business hours the building is crowded but we are informed that the Board or
 Revenue has provided janitor and six assistants for the care of the building
 and grounds, which we deem entirely suf- ficient if properly supervised and working
 before and after court hours. As mat
 ter of fact, at the present time We do
 not consider the courthouse in nearly as
 good sanitary condition or as well kept
 as the jail. We recommend that regu-
 lar application of water and securing
 powder properly applied to the floors and
 walls would be vast improvement over
 nresent conditions,

TONOPAH ACTIVITIES.

AS stated in the Bonanza of last night the
Tonopah- Belmont Development company will
probably break ground for an immense milling
plant within the next six weeks. The plant to
be located at a short distance from the new
Belmont shaft. A thorough description of the
proposed plant accompanied the news that it
was about to be built. 1t will be without
doubt the finest mill in the entire country. For
the reason that the builders will have the bene-
fit of the experience of the constructors of the
other mills throughout the country 1t will of
necessity be up-todate in every respect Every
little defect that has been found to exist in
mills at present under operation will be recti-
fed. 1t will be an institution that Tonopah
may well be proud of.
Aside from being valuable addition to the
mining industry of this section it will afford
considerable work for large number of men
1t will add considerable to the already large
payroll of this district. 1t will make for better
business conditions And together with the
large ore reserve means the assured future of

OF men employed remodelng the Midway mill
lately purchased by the West End people, which

THE COUNTY TREAsURER's BOND.

The Bonanza has had something to saw
generally, about straw bonds furnished bv
the various county officials although no par
hcular official or bond has been designated In
this connection the Bonanza desires to, state
that we have investigated, particularly, the bond
OF Frank L. MannlX county treasurer which IS
the largest and most important bond being in
the sum of one hundred thousand ($1O0oGGy
dollars From such investigation we believe
TINS bond to be the very best bond Obtairable,
and that it fully protects the county against ali
emergencies. The sureties on the bond are
among the most responsible men in this county.
and includes business men of standing mine
owners, sheep and cattle men, and farmers In
addition to this bond, the county is fu"ther
protected by surety bonds guaranteeing the
county against loss in the event of failure Of
any OF the banks in which the couaty treas
urer deposits the county moneys The latter
bonds are in the sum of fifty thousand 1885,
O0O) dollars, and are increased, from time to
time, as the county funds on hand exceed that
amount.
The last Legislature repealed the act Of the
former Legislature, which practically prohibited
the operations of surety companies within the
state. The suggestion has been made that the
various county officers replace the personal
bonds now in force with surety DO Is Gen
orally, we think the suggestion spl andid one.
In view of the fact, however, that the sreasur-
er's bond now in force is in every way rtflc.cnt,
and its replacement by surety boodS would
entail an expense to the county Of about five
hundred dollars per annum, as, under the law,
the county has to pay the premium, we are in
favor of continuance of the present bond
The cost of the depository surety bonds now
carried are paid for by the banks insured, anG
entail no expense whatever to the county

BRITAIN TO WAR ON RATS.

Great Britain is about to take ND the task of
discriminating rats Statistcians estimate that
the rat population in England numbers 100000
600, which is about two to one of the human
population, and that they destroy at least $50.
100000 worth of property annually Both es,
Inmates are doubtless conservative. The exter
mlnaton of rats Ill Britain has therefore de-
veloped into an economic question of the first
Importance If the 100000 rats can by
systematic crusade be exterminated it presump-
lively means the saving to the nation of $50
100000 year in the matter of food products
which they destroy
10 wage rat of determination success
fully in Great Britain will involve an expendi-
ture of many millions of pounds sterling. But
one years savings in property now DESTROYED
by the rodent will doubtless leave big mar
gin of profit. The Council of the Central Asso-
ciated Charities of Agriculture has appealed to
the government to free the country of the pest
not only on economic grounds, but on sanitary
grounds also. Rats are recognized there now
as not only destroyers of food products on a
big scale, but are carriers and distributors of
disease. Their value as public scavengers is
overshadowed by their predatory habits and
their menace to the public health The bal
anclng OF the account is against them
The Norway rat, against which the war is
beng waged IN this country, and which is
about to be inaugurated in Great Britain is, in
Tact the most destructive and dangerous of
pests affecting the human race Migratory in
its habits it has invaded every country with
which commerce has been established 1t has
coonized every seaport in the world AS the
greatest of commercial nations Great Britain
is not only most seriously infested by it, but
has been most responsible for its distribution the
world over. 1t is no longer Norway, but Great
Britain that has become the chief source of rat
colonization through it's merchant ships which
pillow the waters of every sea- If the rats of
the tight little island can be exterminated, the
world at large will be beneficiary And
other commercial nations will take note of it's
work and follow its example

THE ITALIAN GARDENERS.

The reports OF the proceedings at the trial
of the CamOrrstS at Viterbo contain frequent
references to the Carabineers, those soldiers of
the law who figured prominently in the capture
OF the alleged murders of the Cuoccoos 70
the average reader In this country it is probable
that the status of the Carabineers in the Italian
sytem is not clearly known for here and in
England no similar body exists.
The Carabineers constitute force of about
10000 men, the majority of whom serve on foot
They are higher than the ordinary police, being
also detectives, and capable of tracing as well
as of fighting criminals. They are apart from
all other troops or police and are stationed al
ways IN other cities or towns than their own.
Familiarity with civilians is discouraged
The Italian Carabineers are modelled largely
after the gendarmes of France. This ia
nous patrol is always moving, on horseback in
the rural district and foot in the cities and
towns Wherever trouble of any kind breaks
out the gendarmes are quickly on the spot to
give support to the local police The essential
feature of the system is the union of military
dcipline with the police function.
In Paris, besides the gendarmes, there is
special force, the republican guards, consisting
of about 2000 infantry and 800 cavalry These
are picked men mounted on fine horses and
with their gorgeous uniforms they make very
picturesque street figures.
Most European governments think they have
need of such soldier-policemen Spain has its
guarda civil, composed of $4,000 infantry and
1000 cavalry, which is well known for its eff
cheney. Germany and Russia also have gen.
darmes, although they have not been developed
to the same extent in France
In recruiting these bodies preference is given
to ex-soldiers of good character and of a high
order of intelligence, capable of understanding
the law they are called upon to enforce. They
must be answering in obedience to ORDERS yet
resourceful enough to act in an emergency that
does not admit of Instructions

USELESS ARREST AND EXPENSE

The proprietor of a saloon in Rhyolite has
been arrested for allowing poker game to b.
conducted in his house. His arrest has necas
STATED considerable of an expense to the ,un-
ty, the sheriff having been compelled to make
trip to that point to place him in custody end
arrange for his bond The bond was speedily
forthcoming the business men of Rhyolite
signing as almost unit. This latter action on
the part of the merchants leads to but one
conclusion, which is that the arrested man can
not be convicted the charge made against
him. 1t would be work for fne-tooth comb
to pick out twelve men to sit on a Jury. at
least nine of whom would not be liable to
adjourn to friendly" game Of draw" fol
lowing the finding of a verdict
The entire proposition is an assnne one.
for the reason that conviction is-as it should
be-almost an impossblty; and further the
county must still bear considerable expense be-
fore the matter is ended The business men
of Rhyolite showed the proper spirit when they
came to the front as bondsmen for their fellow
townsmen. People will gamble and the excit
ing game of poker played in Nevada FROM
It's pioneer days will continue to be a pastime
in spite of the law enacted two years ago 5v

WESTERN PACIFIC
LABOR DIFFERENCES
Will BE ADJUSTED

For some time past employees of
the Western Pacific, especially those
in the operating department, have
been dissatisfied with the amount
of pay they are receiving. De-
mands were made for an increase.
which was refused. Accordingly
the trainmen established headuuar-
ters at the Argonaut hotel, San
Francisco, and proceeded to take
poll on the question of a strike.
When the vote was counted Sunday.
1T is stated that 80 per cent of
the ballots favored the strike unless
the demands for an increase in
pay were acceded to.
A conference with the officials
Of the Western Pacific has been
arranged, at which the employees
of the eastern division will be rep
resented.
While the Western Pacific has.
not been paying the wages of COM
peting lines, this fact was no doubt
due to its being new line and the
tremendous expense it has been put
to during the past year in repairing
damages to its roadbed due to snow
and landslides. The employees have
been very patient, evidencing a de-
sire to help matters out by wait
ing for raise until such time
as the road was in shape to han
die bushes. With an earnest de-
sire on both sides for adjustment.
it is thought that the differences
will be amicably settled at the
this week.
However, in any event it is not
considered probable that a strike
will result. 1t is believed that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
has been asked by the road to in
tervene, and it is stated that La
Dor Commissioner O'NeHl is now
in San Francisco for the purpose
of making an investigation of the
matter His report will be made
direct to the commission, which will
then adjust the differences.
