GRAND JURY REPORT

The grand jury adjourned

in session ten days. Their re-
port in full is as follows:
To the honorable Jacob Mon

District of the State of Arkansas.
composed of the Counties of
Hampstead, Nevada, Miller, La
Fayette and Clark
The Grand Jury for the present
term of this Court begs leave to
submit the following report as
summary of their Investigations:
We have examined into all the
criminal cases brought to our
Official notice by transcript or
by oral testimony of witnesses
brought before US, and in doing
so we have examined 125 wit
nesses. Theseinvestigations have
resulted in our finding 40 true
bills Of Indictment which have
been duly returned into court.
A committe from our body
appointed by our effecieny fore
man to investigate the conditions
OF the County Clerks Office, report
that they found all records kept
we'll and neatly.
A committee from our body
was also appointed by our eff
clent foreman to investigate the
books and condition of the Sher
ifs office and they report the
same well and neatly kept and
the condition Of same good.
A committee was also appoint
ed by our efficient foreman to
investigate the books, accounts
and Office of the Circuit Clerk,
H. R. Wilson, and they report as
follows: I'VE have carefully ex-
amined the records Of the eff
cient and accommodating Circuit
Clerk, H. r. Wilson, and find the
same neatly, we'll and systemat-
ically kept. We made a very
close Examination of the records
kept by Mr.. Wilson with the
record typewriter and compared
them closely with the records as
kept in the old way-with a pen
and we found that the type
writer is a great saving to the |
county and is very modern; by |
using the typewriter three times
more can be put in a record than
can be put on with a pen. It is |
not only a saving in a financial
way to the county, but it saves |
time and labor and is so much !
more legible than the other rec
Ords as kept with the pen and |
locks much neater and we wish !
to compliment the present clerk
on the modem system he has in
stalled in his office. We recon-
mend that the County Judge

A committe was also appoint

the books of the County Treas
urer and they report that they
found the same well and neatly
kept and in a systematic manner
and all monies received by him
disbursed in the proper manner
as is required of him by law.
A committee was also appoint
ed by our foreman to investigate
the conditions of the poor house
and the y report all things nicely
and well kept. They recommend
that some very badly needed re-
pairs be made on the chimney
and gallery to the main house.
They report six male inmates and
three female inmates, which are
we'll clothed and fed.
We wish to compliment our
County Judge for the needed and
permanent repairs that he has
had done to the court house, and
walks leading to the same.
We visited the county jail in a
body and found it in a good con-
| dition except that the roof needs
I a new coat of paint very badly
and the porch needs repairs and
also a new floor to the porch and
a new fence around same.
We found the prisoners well
cared for considering the crowd
ed condition, and we'll fed and
clothed according to their state
ments.
We would further report that
the Commissioners of Accounts,
who are appointed annually by
your honor to investigate upon
the accounts and settlements of
the various county offices had
done their work well and care
fully, which consumed an inves-
tigation of three weeks sine,
which report has been filed with
this court, thus making it un
necessary for our body to make
a thorough investigation of the
same further than above report
ed.
We have examined the reports
of the Justices of the Peace of
the county and find that all have
properly reported, and we rec
ommend that the Justices of the
Peace that they refuse hereafter
to allow any defendant charged
with an offense to wave examina-
ton, for very often in these cases
where they are required to go to
trial the same could be disposed
of in their courts, thus saving
much expense.to tn, county; in
fact there is no law, as we are
informed, authorizing the JUS
tees to allow waving prelemina-
ry examination. All misdemean-
or cases should be disposed of by
the Justices and should not be
allowed to reach circuit court
thereby causing a great expense
to the county which we wish to
call attention to the Justices es-
pecially because, in our opinion,
this is what the Justices office is
for.
We desire to extend thanks to
our able prosecuting attorney,
Hon. Geo. r. Haynie, for his kind
and courteous treatment of, and

land a famous treaty was signed By
General Winfield Scott and Governor
John reynolds OF Illinois, on the part
OF the United States. and by about
thirty chiefs and warriors, on the
part OF the Sac and Fox Indians. This
treaty marked the close of the Black
Hawk War, the last important con-
flict between the Indians and the
white people in the Mississippi Val
Iey. Al GUNNER Black Hawk. with
his handful of followers, had been
spreading terror throughout the scat
tered settlements OF northern Illinois
and southern Wisconsin and defying
the Federal and state troops. But at
last he vas defeated and captured
largely through the military proves

became governor OF the territory OF
Wisconsin while # included the Iowa
country. and whose biography. writ

One OF the frnme lite needs of the
rural school, whatever we may say or

school rarely has the backing she de-
serTes. She IS unable to ret the best

because Of the tendency TO turn the

Is supplemented by another which is
