We do not know why
Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver
oil is so useful in those simple
but varied conditions which
you know as “ having a
cough.” We cannot explain
it: wc only know the fact
from experience.
It may be due to the com-
bination of tonic effects of
cod-liver oil and the hypo-
phosphites ; it may be partly
due to the glycerine. There
are many effects in medical
practice the causes of which
appear to be plain but how
those causes produce those
effects we do not know at all

GRAND JURY REPORT.
i We. the grand jury cmpminlled
sworn and charged to enquire in and
for the body of the county of Miller
1 submit this our final report.
We have examined and inquired
iuto ninety different crimes which
were brought before us. have exam
ined one hundred and sixty-five wit-
nesses who were from all parts of the
county and have returned fifty-three
bills.
Owing to the tact that there has
been no grand jury for twelve months
there has been rather an unusual num-
ber of felony cases before us.
First—The public roads and high-
ways of the county are as well kept as
is possible under the present road
law.
Second—The Justices of the Peace
throughout the comity generally have
filed abstracts of the criminal busi-
ness brought before them as required
by law. However in this connection
we deem it our duty to say that some
of the justices of the peace who have
held and returned persons charged
with a felony have the recognizance
of an unnecessary large number of
witnesses; those witnesses are in some
cases in attendance upon the court
eight or ten days before they can be
brought before the grand jury. This
incurs a heavy expense upon the coun-
ty when often two or three witnesses
would suffice.
Third—From tho Commissioner's
report six constables are found to be
short in their settlements. We re-
commend that the comity court have
the settlements made as required by-
law.
Fourth—The county officers arc
found to be capable and efficient mid
have discharged their respective du-
ties faithfully as required by law ex-
cepting perhaps one instance; none
of them keep a record of (heir fees.
We find this in the Commissioner's
report.
Fifth—On examination the jail is
found to be as well kept as is possible
for it to be kept with such a large
number of prisoners therein: the pris-
oners are well fed and no complaint
of any notice whatever lias come to
our knowledge as to any sort of mis-
treatment.
Si 'th—During our session we made
a visit to the poor house scrutinized
the premises and made dilligent en-
quiry of the inmates as to their treat-
ment; we heard no complaints and it
is our opinion that the paupers are
well provided for and humanely kept.
It has been reported to us that there
art! some paupers ivho are not kept in
the poor farm but in private farms:
we recommend that the county court
order them to the poor house or else
drop them from the list as paupers
wiio expect to be provided for by the
county.
Seventh—We find that our county
convicts are not hired out as tho law
provides; that there are some convicts
in the jail nearly or quite all the time.
This is a great expense to tho comity.
The poor house and the county con-
victs costs the county about three
thousand dollars a year which is one
of tho heaviest expense items the
county bears. In view of thisfact wo
unanimously recommend that the
county dispose of the present poor
bouse and buy a good farm some-
where in the county on which to keep
the poor and work the convicts. It is
tho opinion of the grand Jury that the
expense of such an enterprise would
b« but little more for the first year
than tho present expense of the coun-
ty lor keeping its poor and its con-
victs as they are now kept; and the
present system cannot be made cheap-
er as long as it is in vogue. Tito
change we recommend here if proper-
ly managed would bring a revenue to
to the county after the first year or
t wo.
Eighth—Considering the poor ac-
commodation our present court house
affords for the numerous require-
ments thereof and considering
the further fact that we now
have in the county treasury about
ten or twelve thousand dollars as 11 j
court house fund wc heartily rccom-1
mend ttint the county build a new |
court house. The present court room
is too small to seat the court and tho
litigiuds; the Jail being immediately
under tho courtroom the odor arising
therefrom is at times stiffing to the
occupants of the entire building. The
room into which the grand Jury is
Jammed is wholly inadequate for that
purpose; the sheriff’s and jailor’s office
likewise. There being no vaults and
tho shelf room in the clerk's room be-
ing very limited the county’s records
cannot be kept in as good condition
as they should lie and are liable to bo
destroyed nt any time by tire or other
wise.
i fhc people of the county are as-
sessed every year for a court house
fund and as we now have the amount
mentioned above in the treasury we
are of the opinion that a contract
could b. let so that subsequent assess-
ments could meet subsequent pay-
ments on contract after using the
present amount of funds on hand. The
county now- owns the block upon
which the present court house now
stands and there need not be any ex-
tra assessment for court house pur-
poses.
Having submitted the foregoing re-
port and thanking the court and oth-
er officers for assistance and courte-
sies we ask to be discharged.

W. W. Shaw Secures the Plum.
For six months or more there lias
been doubt and uncertainty as to who
would be made postmaster of Texar-
kana. and occupy the new government
building under a consolidation of
mail business for both the Arkansas
and Texas corporations.
It seems that Mr. W. W. Shaw- who
has been acting as postmaster on the
Arkansas side has secured the plum
under the consolidated arrangement.
Yesterday lie received a telegram from
postal clerk Fennessey at Washington
that Postmaster General Wannatnaker
had signed liis papers as postmaster
of Texarkana. We congratulate Mr.
Shaw ujioii his promotion and our
people in gentral on his remaining in
charge us he makes a good officer.
It is thought he will get. into his
handsome and convenient quarters in
the new government building by new
years day.
Since the above was put in type
Mr. Shaw has received notice direct
that the Texarkana Texas postoffice
has been discontinued which verities
all of the above.
An Explosion.
Quite a serious explosion occurred
at the Texarkana oil mills at an early
hour yesterday evening. The explos-
ion was the result of some defect in
the machinery which caused an over-
pressure in the. steam chest blowing
Hie head entirely out breaking the
great driving arms to pieces and
scalding in a severe ami painful milli-
ner about the arms bands and face
the person of Capl. John Drake who
unfortunately chanced al that moment
to bo in dose proximity to the steam
chest and directly in the way of the
scalding steam as it. escaped from the
bureted chest. The services of Drs. J.
A. Lightfoot and R. L. Grant were at
once called into requisition and after
ministering to the Injuries of the un-
fortunate man left him comparatively
free from his present pain and in no
danger from his injuries.
Knights ot Pythias.
At lite last regular Seini-Aunttal
meeting of Dion Lodge No. 29 Knights
of Pythias for the present term held
at their castle hall in this city on last
evening the following officers were
elected Io serve for the ensuing term:
Jno N Cook Past Chancellor; JI R
Merriwether Chancellor Commander;

Burch Prelate; Robt Ellis Master of
Exchequer; Morton P Levy Muster of
Finance; C J Miles Keeper of Records
ami Seal; Jno N Harris Master nt

above officers will be duly installed in
their respective offices at the first
regular meeting of the Lodge in Jan-
uary 1893. The Lodge is in an ex-
cellent and flourishing condition re-
ceiving constant additions to its mem-
bership roll. Tho now officers arc
earnest and faithfttl workers for the
order mid much is expected of thorn
In tin official way. It is to be hoped
that a full attendance of the members

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS.
The following cases have been dis-
|>o»ed of in the Miller Circuit court
since noon on yesterday:
State vs. John Edmonds (one armed
Jack) charged with aasault to murder;
the jury brought in a verdict of ag-
gravated assault assessing his punish-
ment at SIOO line and ten days in the
county Jail.
In the case of Sam McKneely Jr.
vs. the widow of Col. Sam McKneely
for the possession of valuable planta-
tions and the home place in Texar-
kana judgement was rendered for the
plaintiff. Notice of appeal was given.
At the hour of going to press the
attention of the court wna given to an
investigation of the case of J. D. Smith
vs. The Kizer Lumber Co.
A Serious Charge.
John Ray Jr. son of ('apt. John C.
Ray an old citizen of Texarkana was
arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Hugh Grafton on a warrant sworn
out by ex-MayorE. A. Schicker charg-
ing him with obtaining money under
false pretences. The arrest created
some excitement on the streets owing
to an attempt on “John’s” part to
roach friendly cover on the Texas side.
This attempt was defeated by the. ap-
pearance of Texas officers who per-
suaded the prisoner to return quietly
with Mr. Grafton without the aid of
a requisition. Upon arraignment in
the Circuit court the warrant was re-
placed by an indictment front the
grand juryand tho amount of ball fix-
ed at SSOO which the prisoner expects
to make on the arrival of his father
from Little Rock to day he having
been telegraphed for. We regret the
trouble this young num has fallen In-
to and hope ahat he will
be able to exculpate himself from so
scrions a charge. It is so easy for a
young man to fall into bad habits de-
spite all restraints which can be
thrown around him and so certain
that these habits will sooner or later
lead him into trouble that oue cannot
resist a feeling of sincere sympathy
both for the unfortunate boy and his
family indulging in the hope that the
experience may prove a warning
against future errors.
