Parish of Vermilion,
To his Honor, VIM. p. Edwards,
Judge presiding of the 18th Jupic
ial District Court, for the body
of Nermilion Parish, Louisiana.
We, the Grand Jury, beg leave
to report. that we have diligently
inquired into all violations of the
law, that have come before us, du-
ring our session aud that all such
cases. thus coming before us have
received our care and attention.
We have examined into the gen
eral condition of the Court House
and Jail. We recommend to the
proper Parish authority that some
thing be done in the nature of rem
dering the Court room proper,
more inviting and in keeping with
the purpose for which it is intended
to serve. We have also examined
the Jail and have aSCertalned from
the Prisoners that they were well
fed, that the Jail was in Sanitary
condition, but that same stands III
need of some repairs. such as leaks
from water pipes and rendering
same safe from escape by prisoners.
We desire to call the proper law
making authorities attention to the
necessity of enacting legislation
looking to the suppression of the
Public Dance Hall, which constant
ly supplies Grand Juries with need
less work, and where the majority
of law violations occur.
We have examined into the con-
dition of the Public Highways and
find that same are i'll fairly good
condition, with but few exception:
considering the general bad wealth
er that has prevailed during thu
Winter Months. We wish to com
mend the Parish authorities for tn,
general good work that is now be
ing carried on throughout the Par
ish and as good roads are the vehic
les of commerce we call upon tn
people to assist as far as possible Il
carrying out this commendable pur
5 pose.
b, We wish to thank the DistriC
+. Attorney, and Court officials 70
9 their efforts in assisting us in on
labor.
Having concluded our dutie:
we beg to make this our final re

On this question the new city coun-

of the first meeting presided over by
Mayor Thompson was reached in de-

by a motion to amend the rules with
this:

solicit, either for himself or for any
other person, employment with any
railroad or public service corporation
operating in the city of Chicago"
you can't take favors from cor
poration with one hand and regulate
their rates with the other hand" said
Merriam. you are called to vote on
ordinances which determine rates.
You decide on corporation deals of

aldermen so honest they can take
jobs from these corporations and
then vote against those same corpor-
atoms when ordinances are up. But
l believe it is safer for the city to
have the same rule as the state util-
tiles commission, whose members are
forbidden to so ask for jobs for
friends with any utility"

avenue yesterday afternoon at 8
O'Clock. Edgar DeComet of Moline

was travelling east and attempted to
pass between a big moving van and an
eastbound street car.
He was not successful, however, and
the back wheel of the auto caught in
the fender OF the car. The jitbus was
turned clear around in front of the
street car and nearly turned over, be-
ing in a leaning position when Motor
man c. ". Let's succeeded in stopping
his car. Both rear wheels of the jit
bus were ripped OF and the car other
wise damaged. Two passengers in the
jitney escaped injury.

longing to Arthur Bishop in Coe town
ship were entirely consumed by fire
at O'Clock Sunday morning. The
family OF Mr.. and Mrs Bishop and a
hired man were asleep on the second
story OF the home when the fire broke
out and were awakened by the crack
ing OF the burning building, barely es-
Gaping with their lives. The IRE had
gained such a Roadway that the lower
portion OF the home was practically
burned away before they awakened.
The two barns which were in the path
OF heavy wind that was blowing we're
an easy prey to the flames. Mr.. Bishop
managed to reach the harm in time to
turn loose the horses and all were
saved except one which ran hack into
the burning building. Telephone com
munication was completely cut of and
in order TO get assistance Mrs. Bishop
ran TO a neighbours home three-quar-
tiers of a mile away All wearing ap-
