Grand Jury's RepSrt.
The grand jury for the'March term
of circuit court has concluded its busi
ness and made the following report:
To the Honorable Judge of the Cir
cuit Court of Linn Comity, Ore
, gon:
We, the grand jury for the March
term of the circuit court of 1893, have,
as required by law, examined the
different county buildings and the
offices therein, including the iail and
outbuildings. We find each of the
county officers have their offices in
good condition and the books neat and
clean. We find the sanitary condi
tion of the county jail 1b poor, and
recommend that the wooden structure
be removed and the north corridor be
provided with a sink and portable
bath tub. There being no further
business before us we respectfully ask
to be dismissed.

Last Sunday constable Morgan and
R. Tivey went up in the neighbor
hood f Waterloo and vicinity where
John Loveall was murdered, to see
what evidence could be found iu re
gard to the murder case. After gath
ering all that could be found they
came to the conclusion that the evi
dence was sufficient for the arrest of
Wm. Vail. They arrested him aud
brought him to town on Monday
morning, and telegraphed for Deputy
Prosecuting, Atty. Wyatt who came
out on the evening train. After Atty.
Wyatt .examined all of the witnesses
and gathered all the evidence that was
t hand, he moved that the prisoner
Iw dismissed, statiug at the same
time that the evidence , was
sufficient for arrest, but didn't
think it wa enough to hold him. While
the Kxi'Bioss thinks every effort to
bring the guilty man who committed
this awful i rime to justice is com
mendable indeed, wethink oueshould
be doubly sure that tbey have the
right, man before any arrests should
be made.

The strongest recommendation that
any article can have is the endorse
ment of the mothers of the town.
When the mothers recommend it you
may know that the article has more
than ordinary merit. Here is what
the Centerville, South Dakota Citizen
says editorially of an article sold In
their town: "From personal experi
ence we can jay that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has broken up bad
colds for our children. We are ac
quainted with many mothers in Cen
tervllie who would not be without it
in the house for a good many times Its
cost, and are recommending it every
day." 50 cent bottles for sale by M.

Two years ago the legislature passed
a bill which practically prohibited the
people of tho main part of Southern
Oregon from fishing. At the late ses
sion an attempt was made to remedy
this estate of affairs but it seems as if
the Portland fish commissioner would
succeed in defeating the plain Intent
of the law. Portland sportsmen have,
also, succeeded lu getting the game
laws so amended that no hunting for
grouse or wild fowl of any kind is le.
gal except, at the time when they aro
able to take their annual vnctttiou, the
very time we do not cure to hunt. Au
