of the Bawdy Houses, we would urge the enforcement of this law by the Authorities. A small portion of the cases coming be- fore the Grand Jury are in the City and should be handled by City Courts, and we think that Ia good deal of this could be avoided by a rigid enforcement of the City laws.
 We have examined the re- ports of the various Justices of the Peace of the various Town ships of the County. We find that it is the custom of Justices of the Peace all over this Coun- ty and some in particular to al- low parties who are under arrest to waive examination and then bind them over to the Grand Jury. In a great many cases of this kind the witnesses leave the County when the Grand Jury meets so that they cannot be summoned before that Body, and in that way there is not any evidence forthcoming to war rant an indictment, and the County has been out quite a little expense in the way of fees and keeping prisoners in jail and Grand Jury is compelled to turn them loose for lack of the prop CT witnesses. We would respect fully recommend that in cases of this kind that the Honorable County Judge refuse to allow Justices of the Peace his fees, in as much as it is only custom and not law that permits prisoners to waive preliminary examination.

JURY RETURNED
 116 INDICTMENTS
Grand Jury Makes Final Report Many Recommendations Relative To City Dives
 And Various Officials.

The grand jury concluded it's sessions Thursday afternoon, returning to court it's final re- port and received it's discharge with the thanks of the court, with the order that the report be certified to the county court and a copy was also directed to be sent to the city officials.
 The report is rather sweep ing in it's various findings and recommendations, and is as fol- lows:
 We, the Grand Jury, empanel- ed for the Fall Term of 1914 of Jackson Circuit Court, beg leave to submit the following as our report:
 We investigated the charges of all parties confined in the County Jail; the charges against all parties bound over to await the action of the Grand Jury; and offenses and misde- Ineanors that have been brought to our notice, and in all cases where we were of the opinion that the evidence warranted an indictment we have returned True Bills of Indictment to the Court.
 There has been some little complaint reached the ears of the members of the Grand Jury about some of the dives yet running. Too much right on Front street here in Newport :; this is especially the case on the lower end of Front street; we would therefore recommend that they be suppressed, and as the laws of the State of Arkansas give Municipalities the right and power to do this and the City of Newport through it's Legislative Body has adopted and promulgated a law to SUD- press and to punish frequenters

 ed the county hospital located at Jacksonport, and found the building and inmates very well taken care of, but would recom- mend that some two or three mattresses which are very old and worn should be replaced by new ones.
 We visited the county jail in a body and found it well kept and the inmates seemed to be well treated. Would however re- commend that electric lights be put in service in the jail, in as much as the building is al- ready wired and at one time has been lighted in that manner, but for some reason is not at pres ent.
 We have examined the county court house and find that theer is a piece of the balustrade on outside of building near the Treasurer's office which has fal- len to the ground and should be removed, or replaced.
 We have examined 183 wit nesses and returned into court 116 true bills of indictment.
 In report of the Commission CTS of Accounts we find that Stuckey & Stuckey are behind with their office rent to the a. mount of $91.60. We would re- commend that this be collected at once. We find that J. F. Me Cuistion stands charged with 1,042.00, prisoners, which he turned over to the county con- vict authorities and failed to get receipt for same. We would re- spectfully suggest that county court adjust this matter in or der that records be shown clear. We inclose herewith county commissioners report on this matter. He as collector also holds receipt for some sixteenth section school lands as de- posit to his credit in bank. Would recommend that this be turned over to the county treasurer, in order that it may be apportion- ed to school districts, to which it belongs.
 It appears from the records that there still stands charged against various township officers certain amounts which are now outlawed. We recommend that these be charged off the books. In other cases where county or township officers are behind with their payments to the county would recommend that if they do not settle at once min utes of it should be made in or der that the next grand jury can indict the delinquent off, cials.
 We desire to thank the court and the court officials for cour- tesies extended us during our labors, especially do we wish to express our thanks to our eff cient retiring prosecuting at torney for his untiring efforts in aiding us; and having complet- ed our work, submit this as our final report and request that we be discharged.
 Respectfully submitted,

PECULIAR WILL,

Late H. E. Simmons Inserts Clauses Claiming Innocence of Embezzlement.
 Hartford, May 2.-What is perhaps the strangest will ever recorded in Connecticut is that of. Henry E. Sim mons, filed for probate in this city today. In opening it says: II, Henry Edward Simmons or Summit, N. J., but by reason of the illegal and unjust action of the state of Connnecticut, temporarily residing in Hartford, do make, declare etc.
 Mr. Simmons was soldier in the civil war serving in the Eleventh R. I. Volunteers. The reference in his will is to sentence which he served in prison at Wethers1ield. MT. Sim mons invested trust funds in his keeping together with his own prop erty, and lost all, in an irrigation scheme many years ago. He was tried And convicted of embezzlement, though intimate friends say it was technical. Later he was paroled and pardoned and his forfeited rights re- stored, but he always claimed he was falsely imprisoned and only few days before his death recently de- clared his intention Of appealing to the legislature for vindication.
