The grand jury made their final report last Saturday and were discharged. They returned eight indictments. Be tow we give a condensed report of the investigation of the county buildings: On the 14th of November we visited the county jail, and made a thorough investigation and repo r t the same in good condition, clean and well kept, for which Sherifi’ McConnell and his family deserve much credit. On the 19th dav of November, we visited the county infirmary. We found the farm in good ponditjon as in regard to fence*, etp , the buildings are in good repair and cleanly kept. Too much praise cannot he said of Mr. Haefling for the condition and manner in which he conducts the farm- - We find thhe stock in good condition and of the best kind. We, ho vever, severely condemn the inmates’ buildin.', as as it is wholly inadequate for the purpose intended. We find some of the inmates sick, without having fire in their rooms, because there are no fa Hitler* for heatingThere are but two stoves besides the cook stove in the building; and the superintendents compelled to lock the inmates in their rooms upon retiring, should a fire occur | during the night, there would undouht*J adlv be great k»s« .o' I f*. We rcom ! 1 mend that a new bri -k bid in 4 be constructed witbgre uer.-api hy. heated with hot air or so ne other uk<ui> 1 .a. slows

My mother died fifteen years ago in Boon county, lowa, when I vas only a year old. Shortly alter mother’s death I was adopted by a neighbor named Morgan. When I was about eight years old we removed to Nebraska, and this time father seems to have lost track of me. I understand he endeavoued to find me, but was basely led, by an interested party, to believe that I had died. I have only re cently lean ed that the Morgans were no’ my *parents. I am passing many days among strangers. They are rothing t< me; I am nothing to them. The thought makes me homesick, lonely and sad.
