In tbe circuit court ot the state of
Oregon, for Waeco county, for the
February term, 1898.
In the matter of the final report of
the grand jury, we, the grand jurors,
submit the following, ae and for our
final report r
We have returned into court six true
bills and four not true bills of indict
ment in the lour days we have been in
session.
We have also examined the clerk's,
sheriff's, assessor's and treasurer's of
fices, and we find the said offices ,with
the booke, records and papers therein
jwell and correctly kept, so far as we are
fable to judge in the limited opportunity
allowed us for such examination.
We have also examined the county
jail, and while we believe tbe same is in
as good condition as it can be kept un
der the present conditions, it is not
properly ventilated and not capable cf
proper ventilation. We recommend
that a modern jail be built by the coun
ty, teperate from the court houee.
We have not visited the county farm,
but huve had a full and complete state
ment of the county poor at said farm,
from Hon. Kobt. Mays, county judge,
and ure satisfied that the county poor
ure well and properly cared for.
Wherefore, having finished our labors,
we respectfully ask the court to accept
this, our final report, and that we may
be discharged.

ltellglous Disturbances.
Editok Cheonicle :
There is a certain element of rowdyism
prevalent in this city, who, lacking in
self-respect, consequently have no re
gard whatever for the feelings or desires
of those who are respectable. They are
a positive disgrace to law-abiding citi
zens, and especially to those attending
religious services. They lazily skulk
about the premises of a church building
as if it were" a -popular loafing resort.
They insult decent people by their vul
garity and their "gall." They are prone
to do all eorts of mischievous deeds
within the sacred edifice, in spite of the
admonitions of the ushers in attendance,
thereby vindicating their "emart-aleek"
propensities.
Now all these things ought to be, and
must be stopped, or the city authorities
will necessarily take a hand in the mut
ter; and let the parents of these smar
tieB take warning, that if their boy (or
girl) has been taken to task in the man
ner above indicated, they need not
blame the church officials or the police,
but must blame themselves, for permit
ting their children to become so un
scrupulous as to maliciously disturb the
peace and quiet of respectable church
goers and citizens. Ousisitviin.

The Oregon Knnd Club Team Defeated
Lnat Night.
The Oregon Road Club's team arrived
on tbe 5 :20 train last night ; but owing

team were Richard H. Pickering, Tbos.
Melburn, Captain H. B. Graham, F. W.
Bailie and J. Oliver.
Four games were played, and from
the way the first one resulted, our play

yond their grasp. In this our men
Ecored but 138, while the Road Club
team made 159. In the second our boys
made 249 pint!, while the opposition
team made but 184. In the third game
