With 84,- 000,000 still on hand to be devoted to the relief cf the refugees, it is slid that the relief committee has held serera executive meetings to determine what shall be done with this money. It is claimed that tbe directors ot tbe relief work find that the need of rel:ef has passed except in such cases as can be aken care of by the regular charity organizations. Allan Polok, it is said, is in favor of establishing a $2,000,000 hospital with a part of tbe fund while Herbert E. Law would turn the fund over to tbe regular charity organizations. As the wishes of the donors of tbe relief funds may have to be consulted, no decision has as yet been arrived at by the relief committee m The Heat Christmas Present for Little Money.

We, the grand jnry, regularly drawn for the November term of Circuit Co'irt, respectfully report to the Court as follows: We have been in session eight days, and during that time have investigated a great many caes presented to us by interested persons, and have returned into court eevn true bills aim one presentment, lu a number of cases we have examined nu uerous witnesFes, but have not dcerred the evidence sufficient to warrant the returning of indictments. Our work has been necessarily prolonged on account of thj necessity for tbe examination of intri cate accounts, and expert reports, in addition to the ordinary matters usually brought to the attention o? the grand jury. We have examined the various county offices and investigated the different county officers and the conduct of their respective offices, and generally speak ing we find tbe officers attentive to their duty, accommodating and obliging. One of the most important matte's brought to our attentioo was the ex amination of the various books and records and accounts of the various officers of this County. In this investi gation we haye been greatly assisted by the report of the accountants heretofore employed by the County Court to examine tbe said books and records and to report their findings to the Court. Such report has bet n made and will be filed for public record where the public wi'l have an opportunity of examining each repot t, and for that reason we will not go into detail in n aking up our final report. Tbe shortages in the office of clerk and sheriff have been made good, and all money paid to tbe county except such as should and must be adjusted through tbe county court where the objections to liabi'ity can be made. In the office of the County Clerk we find a shortage to exist amounting to 8446,16 and covering a period of the last eight years. We have no hesitancy in saying, however that we believe that none of the shortage reported by the account ints in the Clerk's office was intentionally appropriated by the County Clerk for that period or his deputies, but that such shortage was brought about, to a large extent, by misinterpretation cf the law as regards the collecton of certain fees and by mistakes in book keeping. In tbe office of the County sheriff, we find that tbe sheriff spent but little time in his ofhee proper, but left the details of the office work, such as keeping the books and records and cash accounts to bis deputies; and that tbe sheriff him self performed tbe duty necessary to be performed other than tbe keeping of tbe books and accounts and attending to tbe indoor office work. In this office we find a shortage amounting to $453.56; aud in this office, like tbe office of tbe County Clerk, we have made careful investigation and have reached the con clusion that no money was intentionally appropriated by either the sheriff or his deputies, but that such shortage was brought about entirely by the failure of the deputy who kept tbe books to properly and correctly balance his accounts, or to keep a proper system of the records as they should be kept. The shortage in this ofh.ee covers a period of sevoral years, but so far as this report is concerned we epf ak only ot the last four years. We are satisfied under such careful examination as we have made that there is nothing upon which to bace an indictment or criminal prosecution, and that the system of hook keeping in effect in this county is largely responsible for the mietakes hat have occurred, and we most earnestly recommend that the County Court provide for a better system of book keeping and that, if necessary, . ..... i , . pome accountant ie empioyeu 10 establish such system and acquaint the various county officers with it, and that at least every two years such books be checked up ana audited. He think h:e will protect the public and the officers alike and will be a saving to the County. We have investigated the County Hospital for the poor and find the same reasonably well Kept and have no recommendations to make. We have also examined the County jail and it has been reported to us that the County Court is making pre parations to repair the same so as to make it secure so that prisoners cannot DISTINCTIVELY A CREAM OF TARTAR BAKING POWDER Royal does not contain an atom of phosphatic acid (which is the i product of bones digested in sul phuric acid) or of alum (which is one-third sulphuric acid) substan ces adopted for other baking pow ders because of their cheapness. 3! f ROYAL BAKINQ POWDER CO., NEW YORK. If Eucb by tie escape as easily as tliy hnve ing frequently in the past, action has nit been taken County Court we recommend that it be done at once. We also recommend that the Ccnnty Court establish a small incandecent light near the steps at the froot of tbe Court house. We also recommend that the Counly Court furnish a suitable desk or table for the grand jury or district attorney's room in the court house where evi dences before the grand jury or D's trict Attorney may be properly cared for and protected. We also recommend that in the grand jury room the court provide ratks for hats and hooka for coats. We would also recommend that some provision be made tor beds for the trial jury room where juries deliberating up on a case during the night and unable to agree many have an opportunity to rest. some matters have been brought to our attention where iurther investi gation should be made which would re quire considerable time, and we feel that it is not necessary for us to remain in seesion, but thtt such matters will be further inquired into bv the Dis trict Attorney and such action as to bim seems proper w ill be taken, and now having finished our labors, we respect fully ask to be discharged. Thanking the Court for its kind and courteous treatment during our sitting as s grand jury, we are Respectfully, W. T Barnett, Foreman, E. C. Ball, Frank Morland, J. M. Baker, A. J. nunt, T. J. S.
