The charge to the grand jury wai a Vi ry strong one. Their attention was forcibly called to the duty that de? volved upon them as jurors. They were instructed to examine the books of the several officers, to look Into the matter of the roads, to investigate Violations of the law and to especially keep up with the magistrates, if the grand jury will keep closer tab on the magistrates so many cases that there is nothing in, will not be gent up. and more cases that should come up will be forthcoming. The five cases against E. A. Jackson were continued, waiting for the de? cision of the Supreme Court in the case that went before it on appeal. The case against L. A.

The Kind You Have Always bought Royal is the OBly baking powder made irom Royal Grape Cream oS Tartar INDEPENDENT ORDER B'RITH. B'NAI TWO SHANTY CARS BURNED. Washington, April 3.?"The order must continue to be the rallying ground for all Jews, regardless of poltical or religious opinions," declar? ed Adolph Kraus of Chicago, presi? dent of the Independent Order of B'Nai B'Rith in his message to the grand lodge convention which began bere today. A tremendous dynamic force, Mr. Kraus said, had been at work in the camp of Israel. "Passions have been aroused, schisms have been created, and where peace and harmony are so essential, strife and discord reign. We have the Zionist and the anti-Zion ist; the orthodox and reform, and their differences constantly widening their antipathy is steady growing Gentlemen, it is the province of the order to continue the path which it has pursued from its inception. It must now favor or discountenance movement within our ranks on which Jewish opinions are pronounced and varied." Mr. Kraus' message to the conven? tion contained an account of the work that had been done during the past five years in aid of Jews at home and abroad, of responses to appeals on behalf of the suffering of the condi? tions of the order in various parts of the world, besides discussing many questions of importance to the organ? ization. The total membership now is 33, 123, a gain of 22 per cent, in the five years since the last convention while the amount paid to widows and or- I I phans during that ] < rlod amounted | to $1,243,070 and to charity |1,145, I 11?. I The president said the problem what to do with newly arrived immigrants was one of increasingly serious Im? portance. Something should be done to distribute the immigrants In the badly congested districts in the sea? port cities, before they become perm? anently settled. Strong ground was taken in opposition to the white slave traffic and combating it, he declared to be one of the most important of the organization's undertakings. A pathetic picture was drawn of the conditions in Galicla, where the poverty of the people, Mr. Kraus said, was indescribable. It was not strange, he added, that among the GaHcian .h ws. the recruiting agent finds many not too reluctant, additions to the army of ' white slaves." "We are fighting the white slave traffic," said the president. "Let us help to close up the markets winch furnish the victims." Rlazc at Coast Line Saturday Night Called Out the Department. Last Saturday night about 8 o'clock the fire department responded to a call from the railroad and turned out to find that two shanty cars occupied by the negro laborers building the pass-siding beyond the coal shute were on fire. A flat car and a box car near by caught but were put out before much damage was done to them. The two shanties were a com? plete wreck, however. Dr. Stiles' lecture was in progress when the alarm was sent in, conse? quently the fire bell was not rung, but the whistles of locomotives at the station made known the fact that something unusual was wrong and the glare revealed what it was. The constables serving for court this week are Frank O'Donnell, D. W. Owens, W. H. Simpson, G. A. Brown, W. T. Prichard. One of the grand jurors recently drawn, Mr. J. D. Mellett, could not be found, so it was necessary for the jury commissioners to make another drawing Monday. Three names were taken from the box, viz.: L. L. Hunter, E. I. Reardon and P. O. Leak. The first one to be served with the notice was to serve. Mr. Reardon was the one found and he was sworn in as a grand juror.
