After the indictments had boi-n form ally turned in and the report Mihmiltcd , Judge Wakcley dismissed tlio grand jury with a few words of praise for the satis factory manner in which their work had been accomplished. The following is a full text of the re port and accompanying resolutions : To the Honorable , the District Court of Douglas Comity , Nebraska : The annul jury for the said county of the February term of said court , beg leave to report that in pursuancn of law and the direction of said court , have vis ited tlio jail of said county and made a full and thorough examination of the same and its surroundings , and ( hid : 1. That the inside walls and ceilings of said jail are in a very dirty condition , and that the law requiring tliat the walls shall bo caleimined three times eachycar. has not in any instance been complied with. They therefore strongly recom mend that both the jail and the shcrilV's house be at once placed in a healthy and clean condition by having the walls cal- cimincd , and the wood and iron work cleaned and painted. This is deemed absolutely necessary from a sanitary point , and a precautionary measure against diseases peculiar to hot seasons ol the year. 2. The grand jury also finds that tlio cells m the main cell room are over crowded and that the hammocks arc al most worn out and recommends that anew now and complete set of .hammocks be at once bought and placed in the jail. 0. The grand jury further finds that the law which provides that rules for the good _ government , discipline and regula tion of prisoners has not been complied with , and that there is not ip any cell visited n printed' ' copy of such rulis ; as the law prescribes/ The urand jury strongly recommend that the law on this subject be enforced forthwith. 4. They also recommends that an iron balcony bo built around the north side of the upper tier of celjs in the main cell room to enable to jailor to inspect the cells without being brought into close contact with the prisoners. C. They liuil that no provision has been made for a laundry whereby the bed clothes used on jail beds , or the dirly and vermin-covered clothes of some of the prisoners can bo washed. It elton hap pens by lack of facilities , us above re ferred to , that cleanly and neatly clad persons , held in confinement as witness es , emerge from jail in a lllthy condition. This should not bo , and the grand jury therefore recommend that the basement of the jail buildin bo lilted for laundry purposes and prisoners bo compelled lo wasn their clothing when filthy. Also that a sutlicient number of prison suits bo purchased to bo worn by prisoners whoso clothus are in the wash. 0. This grand jury is of the opinion thai too much is required of the present jailor. Wu lind ho has to bo at the jail at all hours , day and night , and that .singly and unaided ho has to care for anil handle a largo number of prisoners con- lined therein. The grand jury therefore recommend that as a matter of safety and of relief to the present olllcienl jailer , provision be made for hiring an us- Bistanlant. 7. They have also examined the food given lo the prisoners and are of the opinion that it is good , wholesome and amply suflicicnt. 8. The grand jury also bo- Hove that other provisions than now exist whereby incurable insane per sons are lodged in the county jail should bo provided by the county. Association with criminals and confinement in dun geons are not calculated to produce a healthy condition whereby the minds of the Insane can bo restored to their healthy or normal condition. They therefore recommend that speedy and special provisions bo made for the con finement and treatment of these deplor ably unfortunate poivons. 1) ) .

Joseph Hell , a veteran citi/.on , diad of consumption at his homo on upper St. Mary's avenue yesterday morning. Ho hud been confmcd to his bed for several \vucks past , and his death was not unex pected. As the news traveled on the streets to-day the expressions of regret which came from every source indicated hi how great osteoni the deceased had /ecu held by his fellow-townsmen and uo-liiborcrd. Mr. Hull was a native of Pennsylvania mid dies at the ago of lifty-livo years. Ho 00.1110 to thlr.eountry in the. early dnyiind filtered the service of the Ujiion Pacilio. He .served the company as ticket uuunt from the day tlio line Was opened up to some inoiitTis ago , when failing health compelled him to retire froni active pur suits. For the last twelve years he was located in Omalfn as ' agent at the depot , where ho gained a vast ncqualntanon and made mdny friends. He was over a religious man and as a member of the United Presbyterian church , was constant and devoted. With all , however , ho was a genial , kindly man and numbers many of his .sinccrcsl mourners among the roughest of the railroad men , At headquarters , among tlio ollleials , Mr. Hell was esteemed as a failliful , onieient and reliable man , and his demise will there bo much regretted. He was last of family of seven chil' tire n and leave ? a wife and two children- Ills mother in still Ihing. The funeral occurs from the family residence , on St. Mary's avenue , this alternoon at o'clock. THE EtjKHon'xTiaHOOIj HOW. The Teacher Has Jjost Control of Hla Pupils mill Will Co. County Superintendent Bruncr re turned yesterday from Klkhorn Station where ho went to investigate the charges preferred against E. Messenger , tlio teaehw in thai district. lie found the condition of affairs somewhat oxag- geiated. Messenger had never brought a pistol to school with him nor had ho made any threatening play at the scholars. Mr. Drunor Haw enough however , to convince him that Messenger had lost control of the school , ami ho quietly advised him to resign. This the teacher refused to do. The moderator and thu hoard of the district are in favor of retaining Messenger until the end of tlm term , four weeks hence , but that , ho will ever bo ro-omnloycd then is out of the question. Messenger is a bachelor about 05 years of ago , and has been teaching in Douglas county for the past fourteen years. He never quite gave .satisfaction , but at no time betoro struck such a refractory charge as the school : U Klkhorn. He is the editor of a small weekly paper , called the Times , pub lished ul Iho station , and has a very good standing as a respectable citizen 'in the community. "A IIIXOIjISlVroOKIST. " A Cockney in I'olloo Court Con fessed Ills Crime The Docket. Norman Cleveland , "an English tour ist , yoknaw , " was one of Iho prisoners arraigned before Judge Stciiborg yes terday , on a charge of drunkenness. Norman had mutton-chop whiskers , eye glasses , silver-headed cane , a general cockney accent everything in fact to show that ho was "quite English. " With a meek little sigh , ho pleaded guilty , paid his tine and waltzed through the crowd in the lobby. J. E. Demorest was a man who evi dently did not fear the terrors of the law. It seems that ho stoic two bil liard balls from Sininierman's ' saloon on South Thirteenth street. Instead of pawning them or selling them.ho walked up to a policeman and asked him if he wasn't looking for a man who had stolen l\vo \ billard balls. The policeman in an astonished manner , answered , "No. " "Well , I have stolen them , " said Deinor- cst , "and you had better put mo under arrest. " The could policeman not be lieve that the fellow was telling the truth , and declined to arrest him. Ho concluded to investigate , however , and inquiring at , the saloon , found that sure enough two billard balls had been stolen. Demprcst was at oneo jailed and yes terday received a ten days sentence on broad and water. C. N. Newton and the notorious Mrs. Schullx. were also lined $3 and costs for intoxication. Tom Iladloy , a negro , paid a fine of i10 and uosts for disturbing the peace. James Dailoy , ono of an old gang of Lhicves and confidence men who have been operating in the town , was ar raigned for vagrancy. The judge sen tenced him to forty-live days in the conn- t3'juHbul _ suspended the sentence on condition that ho at once leave town. The last seen of Dailcy ho was Dying to wards the depot.

County Jail Improvements. As will bo scon by their report , pub lished elsewhere , the grand jury recom mend some extensive improvements in the county jail. AVhen questioned about the matter. Commissioner O'Koollo said that the county had just expended ifOOl ) in laying a new lloor , and did not feel like going to any further expense at present in making improvements for the jail."Tho "Tho fact is , " ho said , "wo have got just as good a county jail now as can bo found anywhere in tlioUnltodSlatos , and i don't bollovo that an outlay of any more money is needed jusl at present. The fact is the grand jury cannot order Improvements made , and tholr recom mendations are all a matter of form they don't amount to anything. The grand jurymen has a perfect right to in dict you or mo for any crime wo may have committed , but when they go to re- commcniling improvements for the county jail , it seems to mo thai they are out of their province , " A Pleasant Gathering. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Young entertained quite n number of friends last ovon'm ? at tholr now residence located' In Walnut Hill. About thirty couple ? wore present comprising principally nil the members of the Young People's social union.

FOR THE RED-SKIN'S ' BENEFIT The Omaha Indian Committee Meets Again and Adopts Kosolntions- THE HEATHEN AT OUR GATES. Sonic Home Missionary Gossip The O. A. 11. Encampment Another Story to the County Court House , 1C to. Tor the Indians. As mentioned in the llr.i : yostonlny , tlio coinmilteu appointed to further llie cause of the Indians mill create u sympathy in their behalf which shall bring about act ual legislation , met in the ollieo of the Christian Hour. A committee on resolutions , consisting of Messrs. 1'crrino , liurn'.nm and Sherrill , was appointed , and they reported at a meeting yclcrday. The resolutions and general statement of tlio condition of tlio Indians will bu sent on to Washington , and legislation in their behalf will bo asked for. It is hoped to enlist the sym pathy of good men in the cause , so that practical results can bu accomplished , and that speedily. The committee , a.i already intimated , while desiring to deal with thu eittiru Indian qurMion , have especially in mind llio ease of the Oinahas on the reserva tion sixty miles north of thu city. Mr. Tibbies , who is husband of Hni'lit- Eyes , tlio granddaughter of Standing Dear , is bettor posted probably on the condition and peculiar needs of the In dians. Referring to this particular ease he said : "The reservation contains about 100- 003 of which only about 0,003 acres can bo cultivated by those who have been granted the title in fuo simple. The re mainder is idle and will remain idle for- twenty-live years. Our Indian system js outrageous in its every detail. There is nothing like it anywhere else on earth- even in Russia. An Indian is nothing more nor less than a beast , an animal , who cannot get. the rights of a eiti/.e imnil make the simplest kind of a contract. ly ! the act of 1S&J the land was given out in severally , each family being entitled to 010 acres. Of that amount ho can cultivate perhaps forty acres and make a very precarious living. What we want to do now is to secure for every Indian the right to make a contract. Then he can rent the laud that he doesn't want to cultivate himself and will be come a person ofoine importance , and he will correspondingly be elevated in moral lone. TUIIISOUTIONS. : : : The following are the resolutions adopted and signed by the committee : To the Honorable Secretary oC the Interior.

That &ald Omaha Indians rcpicseat a body of some ! WU lamllies or aboal 1"OJ people , anil are located uiion a reservation compris ing t'0,000 aerosol hind in the north-eastern portion of this state ; that said body of. land Is in fact granted or ceded to said Indians in severally muter restrictions and prohibi tions as to its alienation fora period of twen ty-live years from tlio date of said grant. That while said lands are rich and valua ble lor agricultural purposes , they are to a large extent of little practical benefit to said Indians for thu reason that they are without stocic , Implements or assistance to cultivate the same , or but a limited portion thereof , and by reason of their status as In dians anil beins deprived o the ordinary rights as citizens are utterly unable by any ordinary and reasonable methods , to enter into obligations or contracts by which the same may bo procured. \Ve farther represent that under the act of I'omrrcss passed in 1S&3 , the laws of said state of .Nebraska were declared extended over said lauds , but that It Is claimed and stated that waid laws are practically inoperative upon the same for the protection of property. or the establishment and maintenance- proper local government , for the reason that no persons recognized as citizens and having qualifications as such , reside thereon to em brace and pat said laws in force. That by reason of the above existing conditions , it is alleged said Indians , though possessed of de sire 'and intent to butter and improve tholr condition , are becoming discouraged , dis heartened and demoralized , and their future improvements , usefulness and development seriously endangered. It is further claimed that considerable numbers of losponslble whlto citizens are willing torcnt at reasonable rates portions of such lands as said Indians are themselves un able to cultivate , and to reside upon and properly Improve the same , and that such rental and such occupation would result to the advantage of said Indians , by providing money lor the purchase of stock , implements. etc. . by the practical teaching of agricultural methods , and by the adoption ami enforce ment of laws In their midst necessary to the protection of property rights. \Ve therefore , m view of the above cited facts , circumstances and conditions , respect- lullvsmrgost and recommend the attention of y'ourilepartmont to the consideration of the wisdom , propriety and justice , of In- llueiiclng , encouraglii'- , aidlu1.1 and directing , under proper limitations , and with reasona ble promptness the several measures In the nature of benefit and reliefs herein indicated and contemplated ; especially with rolereuco to Ihii rental of some of their lands and the practical operation of tlio laws of this state thereon. .1. it.

John Dailcy , a notoriously worthless character , was shipped to Council IJlufl'd yesterday morning under a suspended sentence of forty-five days. Ollicer Moslyn led the culprit to the depot and saw him safely despatched on the train. Dailoy has spout the greater part of the winter in jail , and but a few days ago finished a term of a month and a half for stealing a carriage robe. A reporter enjoyed the delightful privilege of a chat with the culprit on his way to the station yesterday and was entertained by some cxwcssions and comments on points of lively interest to certain good people in this city. , "I'm sorry to leave Omaha. I won't ' have a chance to go lo church every bun- day as I have luuffor the past thirteen weeks. " Ho referred to the religious ; ser vices conducted by the 1. M.

Don't you know that if a feller had to listen to them. Christian ducks for any great length of time they d drive him crazy I remembered one guy , that weighed about twenty J > o nds moro'a juo.

Dailoy Is an extremist , sis it were , mid is even , "lough" in the estimation of the nolicc , who gauge "toughness" by a very low standard. Hut homo missionary work is a hard job at best , for it is easier to bring HIP light of the truth into the mind of the heathen who has never hoard of neither Moses nor the Messiah than it is to reclaim him who has fallen from Its teachings. A number of good and noble ladies in this city are organi/.ctl for a still more dilllcult undertaking , and are en deavoring Jo secure means to increase the facilities of their worthy pur poses. They are devoting themselves to the redemption of degraded woman hood. In the face of the almost insur mountable barrier which the world sets up against the woman who has sinned and the inherent dllllculty of reclaiming a sinner , the task is a heavy one. A reporter for the Hii ; : was romarklns upon this fact In the county jail to some ladies who had called there to see the female prisoners. The ladies refused to look at ii in that way und called up numerous occasions in their experience where they had restored women to lives of honor and respecta bility. Three women occupied the female gallery and one of those , the redoubtable Sadie IWoHrido was the special object of the good ladies' labors. Now' Sadie is a creature who enjoys unequalled promin ence in police circles , nml Is commonly bejioved tube so deep in the mud that a hoisting machine couldn't pull her out. The missionaries went up and chatted with her a few moments , delivering words of cheer and counsel , to which Sadie listened with a smile of wild con tempt. On returning to the lloor the ladies - dies stood talking aloud of the dillleult subject they had found in Sadie. "She has been here regularly every mouth for the past half dozen years. Oh , she is the most notorious woman in town , but wo will win her back. " The ladies shortly wont out and Sadie , who had overheard the last remark upon herself , called the reporter , who still lingered , and promised him a "holy cir cus it" them winunln ever call me notori ous , when I'm loose and kin get at'cm , botcher life !

It was decided to hold the reunion this fall at Grand Island , and the grand encampment next year in this city. city.The local delegation comment upon the apathy of Omaha citi/ons toward secur ing the location of events which bring to gether vast assemblages of people. "Wo got the encampment on our own efforts , " said one , "and did remarkably well in that. Certainly the reunion is the biggest feature of all G.

Naturally the organization will select the locality which makes the best showing , and Grand Island earned it. The people of Omaha ought to wake up to the realiza tion of the big money and free advertis ing there is in entertaining a largo con course of people on an important occa sion. For example , in the town of lied Cloud , the encampment loft not less than $1.1,000 and did not take away a cent.

ANOTIIKIU BIOUV. A Kohcinn to Moke an Addition to the County Court House. It is not generally known that for the past few days the county commissioners liavo been seriously considering a plan to add another story to the county court house building. Such a plan , however , they have under consideration , though it is doubtful whether it will bo carried into execution. The idea has been to have fho building slowly lowered until it reaches the level of the street grade , and then to have the present basemen story increased in height , so with a small basement underneath , that level would bo measured. For instance , the court house now stands 18 foot above the street level , unit if the plan is carried out , 0 feet would bo added to the present basement lloor , making the ceiling ISfeet high , and allowing the space of lii feet t'oi the basement lloor which would have to be built underneath The work would have to bo done slowly section by.section - anil w < juld require , tit least , six months.

In conversation with a reporter , Mr. Corliss said that tlio cost of building a retaining wall around the square , and male- ing all necessary improvements , , such as sodding , placing in shrubbery , etc. , would be not loss than ? 30,000.

District Attorney K&lello conducted the prosecution and J/.iwvor Forgufcon the defense , and between the two the colored - ored witnesses managed to get pretty thoroughly confused. ( Jrcon swore that Uixson .struck at him a dozen times , but "only got into do moat foah times. " An other witness said : " 1 seed ilar was goin1 to bo a pass made , so I passed down stairs. " A third man declared that Green grabbed n chair and swung it over Ids head , but whether ho put it down again or not ho "disromembeivd. " During the taking of the evidence the lobby was quite demonstrative- tlio court ollicors wore Ici-pt busy preserving order. George Patrick , a colored gam bler , was particularly obstreperous in his actions , and when ono" of the witnesses made a decidedly funny remark ho gave olio grand howl of delight. Court Ollicer Whalon immediately seized the disturber and hauled him before Judge htonborg , who ordered him locked up in the central police station for contempt of court. Iho command was obeyed and 1'atriek now languished behind the bans. Tno afternoon linally worn away , and as there were about twenty more wit nesses to bo examined the case was con tinued until this morning : it 10 o'clock. WANTF.IJ Medium stood safo. Will liny cash.
