The statutes further provide that after the adoption of such.rulcs they shall bo delivered to the couuty commissioners of the several counties In their respective districts , who ehnll cause the same to bo printed and Tur- nish the sheriff with copies of the same , to bo posted In each room and cell of the Jail. In compliance with such law. rules have been adopted by the Judges of this court and liave been placed In the hands of the com' mlssioncrs of this count } ' . It is further made the duty of "this court to lay before you such rules , and n copy of the same will bo furnished you for your iruidnncc nnd instruction. It is further provided b.v statute that it shall bo the duty of the sherill to procure at the expense of the county n suitable book to bo called the jail register , in which the sheriff or his Jailor shall enter the name of each prisoner , with the date and cause of commitment , the date and manner of discharge , what sickness , if any , has prevailed In the Jail during the year , and , if known , what were the causes of such sickness , whether any nnd what labor has been performed by the prisoners nnd the value thereof ; the practice observed during the year of whitewash ! ! ! } ; the occupied cells or apartments nnd the times and reasons of so doing , the habits ol . the prisoners us to personal cleanliness , diet und order ; the operations of the rules and directions prescribed by the district Judges , the means furnished prisoners of literary , moral nnd religious instruction and of labor ; und all mutters required b.v such rules or In the discretion of such sheriff may bo deemed proper. H is further made the duty of the sheriff 01 Jailer to carefully keep and preserve sucl : Jail register in the ofllco of the Jailer. It is also the duty of the sheriff to make out in writing from such juil register on or before the 1st day of November of each year a Jail report , one copy of which said report ho shul file forthwith In the ofllco of the clerk of tlu district court , ono copy with the clerk of his county for the use of the commissioner1 thereof , and transmit a third copy to tlu secretary of state. The statute makes It the duty of the court to specially charge you to visit the lull am examine Into its state and condition , cxamini und inquire ) into the discipline and treatmcn of the prisoners , their habits , morals , die nnd accommodations , and report to this coin- in writing whether the rules have been faith fully kept anil observed , und whether tin provisions of the law to which I have culloi your attention have been complied with o : violated , nnd point out la what manner vlo latcd , if at nil. Gambling , netting nnd Lotteries It is nisi by statute made the duty of the court to givi you in charge chapter ai of the revised stat utcs of 1S37 , relating to gambling , betting am lotteries. While I desire you to inquire inti und see if this law Is being violated in an ; particular , I want more especially to cull you attention to sections 2v0 ! and ! ' . ) , the Ilrst o Which provides punishment for enticing i minor to gamble , und the second of whlcl provides for punishing persons keeping till liard rooms nnd allowing minors under tin ngo of eighteen to play und become lounger uumit such places. I deslro also to invite 5'our most careful at tcntion to section 210 , which provides for tin suppression of the common gambler. Thi section relates to the person whose livellhooi js made by entrapping the unwary and nnso phlsticatrd , the creature who infests am lives oil the body politics without contribut ing anything In return for the privilege o living in a civilized community. Althougl the punishment llxcd by law is light , If full ; nnd vigorously enforced , it would soon ru community o'f this moral pest. . The luwpunishtng the keepers of gambllni houses should also bo rigorously enforced Buch houses are the resoits of the commoi gambler , and of thieves and burglars , am sometimes ot decent men , who are not in frequently ruined by such association. Gen tlcmen of the grand Jury , you should loav nothing undone within your power whlcl would contribute to the suppression of tlu Cr.mblinK vice. It has been charged in the public print tlm corruption exists in the administration of ou local affairs. It Is your dnty to inquire , gen tlemen , on what foundation , If any , thos charges were made ; nnd If such a condltloi of affairs exists us has been charged by tbi publlo press , It is your duty , with the assist nnco of the county attorney , to examine inti them , and if probable cause 1 % shown tlm such crimes against honest and pure govern ment have been committed , make present jnent uecordiug to law against thi' p.utle who have committed such offenses. If it should turn out , us 1 trust it may , tlm the charges which have been made public ar false nnd scandlous , it Is ajio to the partlu against whom they have been made that tho. should have an opportunity for vindication At least twelveof j ou must concur In th finding of an Indictment , und when to founi your foreman shall endorse on such indici jnent the words , "A true bill , " und subscr\b \ Ills name thereto as foreman.

There were no new developments yester day between the county commissioners and the promoters of the Omaha , Yankton & Northwestern railroad. The commissioners were on hand throughout the most of the day in their chambers in the county building , but no ono in authority came to consult them in reference to the proposition submitted Satur day and printed in full in the Hr.con Sunday. Mr. p'Kccffo , the chairman , and other com missioners , had sidewalk confabs with some of the raihoad men , und they requested to bo given until to-day to muke a formal reply to the proposition. Yesterday was the day anticipated fora visit to the city by a delegation of citizens from Yankton and points along the proposed line , to confer with the board of trade in ref erence to the road. However , they did not arrive , and it is stated that owing to the un looked-for turn In affairs with the county com missioners they had been advised to postpone the trip until further notice. Moreover it was rumored about the board of trade that Yankton was so heavily bonded already that the people were adverse to voting ing any more bonds , but they arc anxious for the road and are-preparing to make other concessions , such as the donation of lands and the purchase of stock. The commissioners met yesterday after noon nnd passed the following resolutions : Hesolved , That the county attorney bo and ho hereby is instructed to proceed Im mediately to compel ex-County Clerk Need- ham to make settlement with the county , nnd pay over to the county all monies now in his hands , as such clerk , belonging to the county. Kesqlved , That any resolution conflicting herewith is hereby rescinded. Mr. Nccdham yesterday deposited with the county treasurer the sum of $3,877 , but made no mention or returns of the 17,043.80 charged by him for copying and re-writing numerical index , the greater part of which the couimis sioncrs maintain belongs to the county , BETTER aiAlh SERVICE INSURED. Six Additional Carriers to bo Added o Iho Force. Postmaster Gallagher is much elated over the4 action of tljo postoftlco department at Washington in granting six additional letter carriers for Omaha. This increase of the force , says the postmaster , will make it necessary to rcdlstrict the whole city so fur us the carriers' routes are concerned. They will bo extended in tils- tan co but cur.niled as to tlu bulk of matter distributed , which will nol only facilitate the delivery of mail matter , but prove immensely satisfactory in a him drcd ways. It will give this city u carrier force of thirty-four men , which will bo amplj suftlcient for a speedy traverse of all the ter ritory within the carriers' limits. The new carriers will bo put on immediately. On n Sad Trip. E. B.

Mrs. William McKinney , who resides on lower Davenport street , nnd whoso husband Is ono of the foremen in the smelting works , ap peared before the city attorney and filed in formation against her llege.lord for extreme cruelty. She alleges that her husband , who of late has been in spirits of tbo most unlovable kind , came to tneir home yes terday evening , und after abusing her for some time in u heartless manner without cause or i provocation , Unockc'd her down. The blow must have been straight from the shoulder , as the lady's face was badly disllg- ured , and a heavy awning drapes ono eye. She says | ttmt she has done nothing to merit such trcatmcntaud , although she loves him , will not suffer it.in . silence. She says that she was married once before , but her husband got a divorce frotn her , and that McKinney only . married her last August. For the past lew weeks her hus band has been surly and morose , nnd was constantly insinuating \igly things against her chastity. Yesterday he went to a Nor wegian fortune teller , who revealed to him his wife's unfaithfulness , .so ho claimed , nnd In u great rage ho hurried home , and wound up a fearful tirade of ubusc by knocking her down und otherwise maltreating her.

In addition to the cigars carried off about 15,000 , , which had been piled upon tables for sorting , were overturned upon the Toor and the bulk of them de- troyed. This part of the Work must have been purely from malicious motives , as Mr. Flurry says the cigars looked as if they had been dumped to the floor nnd tncn tramped upon. There is no clew to the thieves. SOUTIlllMAUA NEWS. \V. M. Farrington is in from Lyons with a car of cattle. C. M. Bourne , of Wabash , Neb. , is on the market with three curs of cattle.

Theodore Rosovclt in the Century : They are smaller and less muscular than the wielders of ax nnd pick , but Ihoy are as hardy nnd golf-reliant as any men who ever breathed with bronzed , set [ aces , and keen eyes that look all the world straight iii the face without llineh- ing as they Hash out from under the broad-brimmed hats. Peril and liard- ahip and years ofttoil , broken by brutal dibsipation , drawhaggard lines across their eager faces but never dim their reckless eyes nor break thor bearing of defiant self-conildencc. They do not walk well , partlybecause they so rarely do any work out of the saddle , partly because their ehaperajos , or leather overalls , hamper thcim jvhen on the ground , but their appearance is striking for all that , and picturesque too , with their jingling spurs , the big revolvers stuck in their belts , and bright silk handkerchiefs knotted loosely round their necks over the open collars of the flannel shirts. When drunk on the villainous whisky of the frontier towns they _ cut mad antics , rid ing their horses into the saloons , firing their pistols right and loft , from boister ous light-hcartednc&s rather than from any vieiousncss , and indulging too often in deadly shooting alTrnys , brought on either by the accidental coiitact of the moment or on account of some long standing grudge , or , perhaps because of bud blood between two ranches or local ities ; but except while on such sprees they are quiet rather self-contained men , perfectly frank and simple , and on their own ground treat a stranger with the most whole-souled hospitality , doing all in their power for him and scoring to take any reward in return.
