Shortly before 8 o'clock the grand ju which consists of the several gentlemon whose names have heretofore been_ printed in the Bag, presented themselves, Mr. John Klinker was excused on account of sickness, and W, H. Treen was substituted in his place. Clerk Frank Moores read to the jurymen the onth they took, after which Judge Groff in- ucted them'as follow: ction 1, of chupter statates of 1887 makes it incumbent on the Judges of the several district courts of this Btate, from tire to time, as they shall deem necessary, to prescribe in writing rules for the regulation und government of jails in the several counties within their_respective dis- tricts on the subject of cleanliness of prison and prisoners, classification of prisoners in regard o sex, age and crime; beds and bed- ding; warming, lighting and ventilation of the prison; employment of medical and - surgical aid, when nccessary; employment and in- striiction of prisoners; supplying each pris oner with reading matter; intercourse be- tween prisoners and their counsel and other persons: punishment of prisoncrs for viola- tion of the prison rules, and such other regu- Iations as the judges may deem necessary to promote the welfare of the prisoners. The statutes further provide that after the adoption of such.rules they shall be delivered 10 the couuty commissioners of the several counties intheir respective districts, who shall cause the same to be printed and Tur- nish the sheriff with copics of the same, to be posted in each room and cell of the jail. In compliance with such law, rules have been adopted by the judges of this court and have been placed in’ the hands of the com- missioners of this county. 1t is furthermade the duty of this court to lay before you such rules, and f copy of the same will be furnished you for your guidance and instruction. It is further provided by statute that it shall bo the duty of the sherifl to procure at the expense of the county a suitable book to be cailed the jail register, in which the sheriff or his jailor shall enter the name of each prisoner, with the date and cause of commitment, the date and manner of discharge, what ‘sickness, if any, has 1 in'the juil during tho year, if known, what were the causes such sicknéss, whether any and what labor has been performed by the prisoners and the value thereof; the practice observed during the yéar of whitewashing the occupied cells or apartments and the times and reasons of o doing, the habits of rs a8 to personal cléanliness, dict the operations of the rules and directious 'prescribed by the district judges, the means furnished prisoners of literary moral and religious instruction and of 1 and all matters required by such rules or in the discretion of such sheriff may be deemed proper. 1t is further made the duty of the sheriff or jailer to carefully keep and preserve such jnil register in the office of the jailer. It is also the duty of the sheriff to makeout in writing from such juil register on or before the 1st day of November of each year a jail Teport, one copy of which said report he shall file forthwith in the office of the clerk of the district court, one copy with the clerk of his county for the use of the commissioners thereof, and transmit a third copy to the secretary of state. The statute makes it the duty of the court to apecially charge you to visit the Jail and examine into its state and condition, examine and inquire into the discipline und treatment of tho prisoners, their habits, morals, diet and accommodations, and report o this court in writing whether the rules have been faith- fully kept and observed, and whether the provisions of the law to Which I have called your attenzion have been complied with or Violated, and point out in what manner vio- lated, if atall. Gambling, Betting and Lotterics—It is also by statute made the duty of the court to give you in charge chapter 21 of the revised stat- utes of 1857, relating to gambling, betting and lotteries. ou to inquire into and see if this law is bemg violated in any particular, I w attention 10 se 2 the first of which provides punishment for enticing a minor to gamble, and the second of which provides for punishing persons keeping bil- jard rooms and allowing minors under the age of eighteen to play and become loung about such places, 1 desire also to te your most carcful at- tention to scction 219, which provides for the suppression of the common gambler. This section relates to the person whose livelihood 38 made by entrapping the unwary and unso- phisticated, the creature who infests and ives off the body politic without contribut ing auything in return for the privilege of \ @ civilized community. ~ Although of the compiled the pi and vigorously enforced, it would soon rid community of this moral pest. The law punishing the kee) houses should also be ri 1sly enforced. Such houses are the resorts of the common gambler, and of thieves and burglars, and sometimes of decent men, who are not in- frequently ruined by such association. Gen- tiemen of the grand ju u should leave nothing undone within your power which would contribute to tho’ suppression of the gambling vice. 1t has been charged in the publi corruption exists in the administr local affairs. It is your duty to inquire, gen- tlemen, on what foundation, if any, these charges were made; and if such a condition of affuirs exists as has been charged by ho public press, it is_your duty, - ance of the county attorns them, it probabie ¢ such crimes against honest p ment have been committed, make ment according to law against the who have committed such offenses. If it should turn out, as 1 trust it may, that the charges which have been made pub o false and scandlous, it is due to the partics aguinst whom they have been made that they should have an opportunity vindica! At least twelve of you must concur in the finding of an indictment, and when so found your %m.mn shall eudorse on such indict ment the words, **A true bill,"” and subseribe Ris name thereto as foreman. Richard Kitchen was elected foreman of ghe jury, and upon the completion of Judge Groff’s charges they retirad for deliberution. hey at onge commenca] consideration of tha wade ers of gambling print that ion of our nishment fixed by law is light, if fully | and it is exkn\m-d that they will réport their verdict on Wednesday.

WORK OF A FORTUNE TELLER. William Kinney is Told That His Wife is Unfuithfal. The McKinney family is in hot water, and it 18 probable that the family skeleton will shortly be on exhibition in the courts. Mrs, William McKinney, who resides on lower Davenport street, and whose husband is one of the foremen in the smelting works, ap- peared before the city attorney and filed in- formation agaist her liege lord for extreme cruelty, She alleges that her husband, who of late has been in spirits of the most unlovable kind, came to their home yes- terday evening, and after abusing her for some time in a heartless manner without cause or : provocation, knockéd her down. The blow must have been straight from the shoulder, as the lady’s face was badly distig- ured, and a heavy awning drapes one eye. She says fthat “she has done nothing to merit such treatment,and, although she loves him, will not suffer 1t in silence. She says that she was married once before, but her husband got a divorce from _her, and that McKinney only . married her last August, For the past few weeks her hus- band has beensurly and morose, and was constafitly uuummm.: u;.ly things against her chastity. Yesterday he went toa Nor- wegian fortune teller, who revealed to him his wife's unfaithfulness, so he claimed, and in u great rage he hurried home, and wound up a fearful tirade of abuse by knocking her down and otherwise maltreating her. A warrant was issued for Kiuney's arrest. FOND OF THE WEED. Robbing Nick Flurry's Cigar Factory Last Night, ‘Ihe cigar factory of Nichlolas Flurry, cor- ner Twenty-ninth and Pinkney streets, was entered by burglars Sunday night and 20,000 5-cent cigars stolen. Entrance was effected by means of prying off the lock of the front door. In addition to the cigars carried off about 15000, which had been piled upon tables for sorting, were overturned upon the Yoor and the. bulk of them de- troyed. This part of the work must have been purely from malicious motives, as Mr, Flurry says the cigars looked as if they had been dumped to the floor and then tramped upon.

Theodore Rosevelt in the Century: They are smaller and less muscular than the wielders of ax and pick, but fhey are as hardy and self-reliant as any men wha ever breathed—with bronzed, set faces, and keen eyes that look all the world straight inthe face without flinch- ing as they flash out from under the broad-brimmed hats. Peril and hard- ship and years of toil, broken by brutal dissipation, draw lm"gurd lines across their eager faces but never dim their reckless eyes nor break ther bearing of defiant self-confidence. They do not yulk well, partly, because they so rarely do any ‘work out of the saddle, fu\rtl} because ' their chaperajos, or eather overalls, hamper them. when on the ground, but their appearance is striking for all that, and picturesque too, with their jingling spurs, the big revolvers stuck in their belts, and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely round their necks over the open collars of the flannel shirts. When drunk on the villainous whisky of the frontier towns they cut mad _antics, rid- ing their horses into the saloons, firing their pistols right and left, from boister- ous light-heartedness vather than from any viciousn and indulging too often in deadly shooting_affrays, brought on cither by the accidental contact of the moment or on account of some long- standing grudge, or, perhaps because of bad blnml between two ranches or 1c ities; but except while on such sprees they are quiet rather self-contained men, perfectly frank and simple, and on their own ground treat a stranger with the most whole-souled hospitality, doing all in their power for him and ‘scoring to take any reward in return.
